It was around dark when you woke up.

You were still drowsy, and since it was so dark you couldn't see much ahead of you. Deciding to get up, you walking around cautiously, feeling cold air come in contact with your skin. It was very tempting to stay in bed, considering the softness, but you had to stretch out your legs.

You now realized you were changed into a night gown-like cloth, it was a thin material, but it was equally as comfortable as the bed. You looked started are way down the hallway, which was eerie, since you didn't know where to go, but you found your way around it, and was met with colder air outside.

The moon shone brightly, stars also lighting the night sky dimly. There was a soft breeze, that lifted your thin clothing slightly. You decided to go to the nearest tree, and climb it. Before the incident with the demon happened, Derail, Aki, and yourself climbed trees, big and small, whenever you were free.

It was the same as climbing the tree right now. You lifted yourself onto the highest, and modt stable branch, and stared longingly at the moon. It was full, and quite beautiful, almost like your mother's smile.

"Y/N?" A familiar voice sounded behind you. You slightly jumped from the sudden noise, and glanced back. It was Zenitsu.

Happiness washed over you. "Ah! Zenitsu are you-" You were scrambling to climb back down, only to lose your balance and fall. Instinctively you closed your eyes, getting ready for the harsh ground to contact you.

But it didn't happen, and you slowly opened your eyes, to see Zenitsu bridal carrying you. Your faced started to burn up suddenly, and he let's you go, also getting flushed at the face. "..thanks for saving me.." You nervously fiddled with your fingers behind you back as you spoke, staring at the ground to avoid eye contact.

It was awkwardly silent after that, but before you could ask, Zenitsu was the one to break the silence. "Why are you here? What about the old lady back at your house?" He questioned.

"I was just set into the same forest as you and the other two.." You replied, sighing.

Immediately after your reply, he grabbed you by the shoulders, "Set into the same forest as us?!", He echoed, "Do you know how dangerous and scary it was?! I envy you for your braveness, but you could've got seriously injured."

Every word he said, his face got closer, to the point where your noses were nearly touching. You were suprised to suddenly witness his outbreak. "I-..I just- Yuki had me train- and- and she said it was the best for me.." You cursed mentally for seeming so weak by stammering, but the sudden yelling made you feel so surprised it affected you physically.

Zenitsu quickly let you go, "I'm so sorry- I was just-"

"No it's fine. I feel tired, I'll just.. head back inside." You partly lied. And quickly sped away, avoiding contact as you passed him.

Quietly, you snuck back into your designated room and cuddled yourself into your fluffy bed. You whimpered a little, reliving the memory in your mind. You didn't like how he acted towards you once you admitted to him that you were part of the Demon Slayer Corps now.

You shuddered and decided to try and fall asleep, which wasn't hard. Maybe you could start your conversation over with him tomorrow, and try to get things aligned.
