Abnormal Being [Kimetsu no Yaiba]

7

Giyu who listened to Yokina's stories had his feelings a bit twisted. Yokina's life is just too tragic. But most of all, the first thing to make him angry is the fact that her parents sold her. He was raised by his sister so he doesn't exactly know about parents' love, but selling one's blood and flesh is certainly wrong. For some authorities and wealth? The hell with it.

Hearing them got killed does relieve him, since they reap what they sow, but still it is inhuman. Again, Muzan's a demon.

Then trained as in tortured? That's so not right. Since Yokina looks young, at that age she was forced to be a demon, which mean it's child abuse.

All in all, Yokina's life is worser than his.

"You don't have to pity me or anything though, as you've known I'm way older than you. Also I've gotten used to it.." She lighten the mood with a dry joke which failed.

"So you have been a demon hunter for all this time?" Giyu decided to ask something else.

Yokina nodded, "I guess I am."

"Why did you never show up infront of us?"

Yokina didn't flinch, her gaze just turned a bit sad. "W-Well.. I'm a bit of scared of.. rejection you know?" She awkwardly laughed, started to scratch her arm again because of the nervousness.

"But you've known Master?"

"Well, since I am a part of the demon slayer corps.. I have the need to know the Master.." Yokina mumble out. "I've known the Ubuyashiki family since long ago..-"

"Oh, right."

A comfortable silence came by for a few minutes or so. Giyu's not the type to actually start a chat and it's been quite embarrassing for Yokina. It became quite awkward for Yokina honestly.

"Are you okay?"

Yokina hummed as a response.

"Do you want a drink?"

"It's fine."

The topic has changed into a light, normal, well.. usual one?

"D-Do you have any other questions? If no, I'll excuse myself for today." Yokina then decided to finish things fast.

Giyu stared for a few seconds, "It's not a question of the sort but more of a request.. Why don't you show up infront of the Hashiras at least?" He then told. "They should be starting to accept Nezuko too.."

Yokina gave a small smile, "I'll think about it." She then stood up. "I'll go then."

"Okay." When Giyu was about to walk her off, she already went off with her enchanced speed leaving Giyu alone. "Ah, I still don't know her name."

.

Three months or so has passed now. After some solo missions Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke gotten, they found some loose time and from Zenitsu's suggestions, they decided to search for Yokina.

A lot about her is too much of a mystery, but they're a bit curious. Yokina is a bit.., odd after all.

But saying that, they have no lead. Whatever should they do?

"Can't you just sniff her out?" Zenitsu whines toward Tanjiro.

Tanjiro just sweatdrops, "That's impossible. Yokina-san's good at hiding herself!" He retorts. "And I hadn't caught her scent at all." He sighs.

"Why are you so useless!!??"

"Geez, we should've just waited for Yokina-san to come to us. From the very start she was the one to find us anyway." Tanjiro mumble out.
