After the petrifying unexpected meeting with Rui's family, Giyuu and you took him home. A better place for him filled with actual love and who knows, maybe he will find a cure for Nezuko? As we say, children see the world from another perspective, they might be childish, kind, self centered , but deep down it's important to understand that these tiny hearts started from a blank page. A book that could be filled with personal experience, like positive memories or, if things turns out bad, more negative memories. 

Never break a promise

Never crush a child's dream

That's what your mom told you when you were younger and still lived with them. 

"Mom did I succeed as being a kid?"you questioned yourself. 

It was okay for you to stay awake because your surroundings were filled with people snoring their lives out. Even Giyuu passed out from tiredness and the others seemed to avoid Rui, but they didn't reject him. After it's human to be on their guards near a demon. 

Don't worry, you will find your place eventually Rui

I want to be able to protect my loved ones, but for that I need training. Real hard work, everyday and I have to dedicate everything.

I will become stronger that way. 

Useful. 

Someone who you can look up to. 

You slowly put on your sandals trying to not wake anyone up and then climbed down the three small steps to finally reach the damp grass caused by the night's fresh air. 

You (whispering): Ah crap! Makomo I haven't checked you since a while now? Are you still there sleep head? 

Nothing came out of your weapon, no shaking, no light, no chuckling. 

Empty as we say. 

You tried shooting an arrow at a tree, but still no signs of your friend. 

"Weird..." 

Unknown female voice: Well aren't you the Y/N everyone can't stop talking about... 

You turned in the direction where the sound came from and then spotted a young girl radiating a powerful aura. She wore a personalized uniform in your opinion because of her striped lime green socks, her uniform was unbuttoned to accommodate her chest size and she had a white cape. 

"I'm Mitsuri Kanroji, I saw you... Training? I suppose" 

She let out a cute giggle after her sentence and looked at you. 

Mitsuri: Don't worry I ain't against ya, I came here to help! 

You frowned your eyebrows seeing that somebody else was behind her. The silhouette was hiding very well in the branches, even the leaves were waving naturally with the wind. The only clue you got to understand another presence of human was his memories, his aura. It was quite full and lots of tragic things happened. 

You: Y-yeah thanks, i'll just need to check something-

You walked past her and observed Mitsuri's eyes not leaving yours until your field of view precluded you to see. The young woman seemed curious and interested in your inner strength not to mention that your first impression was her incredible beauty.  

Her pink to green braids twirled meaning she was about to do something in fast motion. Quickly you crouched and tightened the rope of your bow. 

You were fully ready to shoot at her. 

Mitsuri's facial expression changed to a delighted one. 

Mitsuri: WOAHH YOU'RE EVEN MORE AWESOME THAN I THOUGHT! TOMIOKA-SAN WASN'T LYING! 

You: Answer me, what are you hiding in that tree?

Your voice was sharper than a blade and sure destabilized the girl. 

Mitsuri: HUHHH??? OBANAI YOU'RE SPYING ON ME AGAIN YOU PERVERT! I TOLD YOU I WAS ONLY GETTING SOME WATER! 

Your face was so confused that it made the love pillar laugh. 

Mitsuri: Don't mind him, the whole planet knows about his weak spot for me.

You: Hmm... Can you tell him to come out, it's not very professional to hide after I ask you guys for help.

A "tsk" resounded from the green lands. 

"If you ask me to Mitsuri" 

"If you ask me to Mitsuri"

You gasped while gazing at his amazing style of fashion and he looked... 

Mysterious yet so powerful...

You: AHH MITSURI YOUR BOYFRIEND IS SO COOL! 

You looked at her with sparkling eyes and she face palmed her adorable features. 

Mitsuri: We aren't- argh nevermind... Let's just train you well! 

With a "thud" Obanai was now standing on his two feet staring at us with his snow-white snake.

Obanai: Alright show me what you've got, I'll deflect your hits. 

He watched you pick up your arrow and cringed. 

Obanai: What are you going to do with this?! It's useless in close combat cases! Where's your sword?! 

Mitsuri: Y/N is known for using another weapon during her fights and it works! 

You: N-no... Obanai is right, I need to practice close and hand combat. Could you teach me please? 

The young man smirked and blinked twice at Mitsuri who took some time to understand what he meant and finally went inside the weapon storage to come back with a sword. 

Obanai: How many breath styles do you possess? 

You sighed while making a silly face. 

"I don't know much about myself"
