"So you're saying that back in your world, everything is modernized. The only thing worth noting about there is that there are two separate categories: Heroes and Villains. You were training to be a hero and villains attacked you and your classmates, and because of that, you are now in this world?" Urokodaki ended in a questioning manner. You nodded your head vigorously, glad that a heavy burden such as that isn't only kept by you. Gosh, who knew that telling all of this to someone else would bring you great ease.

Noticing that Tanjiro has been quiet for awhile now, you took notice of the glazed look in his eye. "Tan.. jiro? Is there something wrong?" You asked him, worry lacing your tone. Had he grown wary of you now because your story? You couldn't blame him if that was the case, though. Someone such as you that appeared out of nowhere, surely that is something to be suspicious of? However, it seemed like your thoughts juxtaposed what truly was on his mind.

"I'm sorry.. Not only were you attacked but also were thrown in a place which is entirely new to you. All on your own.. surely, you were so scared because of that?" Tanjiro ended, brows furrowed as he tried to imagine how hard it was for you to experience something as cruel as this. You left behind people you loved because of an incident like that. Now, you were no longer with them for instead, you were transported into a world that is filled with horrendous beings such as demons. He truly sympathzied with you but he knew that pity wasn't exactly be something that you wanted.

"Don't apologize. None of this was your fault.. I'm sure that I'd find some kind of solution somehow, so please don't look so crestfallen because of me.." A smile was plastered on your face as you said that, but, you looked like anything but convincing. Waterfalls of tears flowed down your eyes as you only realized now the graveness of the situation. Are you going to be stuck in this world forever? Will you never be able to see your family once again? Your friends? You left them without even saying a farewell. If only you knew that that was the last you'd see of them, maybe you would've even prepared a speech or something. But no, everything unravelled too fast for your liking.

Just imagine, you were at the USJ before, excited to finally get into training and be one step closer with your dream of becoming a Pro-Hero. Yet, all of that would now only remain as a fleeting dream.. Your hardwork to get into U.A.. Passing the entrance exam with flying colors, all of that was for naught now that you weren't even in your own dimension.

Tanjiro was now fussing over you, trying to make you halt your sobbing. "Huh? Crying? Me? No! This is just sweat," you tried saying in hopes of making Tanjiro feel relieved, but as you said that, even thicker droplets of tears came cascading down your cheeks.

Just wondering.. how were you friends faring with your disappearance?

"Shit! Damn it all!" Bakugou growled out in frustration. If only he was there in your aid back then, then maybe.. just maybe something like this wouldn't have happened. He knew that blaming himself wasn't the right direction to go to, but as much as he tried making himself believe that that wasn't the case, he was unable to do so. Todoroki just looked at him, the said male having his eyes filled with undecipherable emotions.

His other classmates looked at the heterochromatic male with concern, somehow knowing that out of everyone here, the whole catastrophe took a toll on him the greatest. Even though it wasn't exactly apparent, just by the look in his eyes, one would immediately discern the fact that there was something wrong with the boy.

"Y/n.. who knows if she's even alive by now!!" Mineta shrieked in fear once he felt the temparature of the whole room dropping. Taking a glance at the half hot and half cold boy, the menacing look in the aforementioned male's eyes wasn't something to be taken lightly. "Mineta, you shouldn't have said that. Y/n is a strong girl, thus, I'm sure that there's no need for us to worry," and even though Yaoyorozu said that with her voice unwavering, the scrunched skin inbetween her eyebrows clashed against her words.

They all were worried, that much was certain.. If only they could do something.. but, they knew that this was something out of their expertise. This was a predicament that only Pro-Heroes would be able to solve.

A few days have passed since your little breakdown. You were glad that you had someone Tanjiro on your side for he was able to bring you immense amount of comfort during all this mess. Glancing at his sister, whose hair is currently being combed back by you, you heaved out a sigh. Nezuko was adorable, you could say with absolute certainty. The moment that her eyes landed on you, she immediately went to head towards you. You guessed that this was because of the amount of warmth that you were emitting that made her want to coddle up against you. You weren't complaining, though. You were just glad that she warmed up to you much quickly than you've anticipated.

Just a flashback of what has happened awhile ago:

After Tanjiro explained the whole situation in regards as to what happened with his sibling, you took the whole information in quite well. You weren't even apalled with what he said the first time you've heard it, that a demon was in this house and all. "You aren't.. afraid?" He asked as he tilted his head in question. The answer was immediately known by him even before he uttered the query, though. He smelled no ounce of fright nor suspicion coming from you, and that much was enough of an answer for him. Shaking your head to symbolize a no, you opened your mouth to verbally answer. "I sense no malicious intent coming from her, so there's no need for me to feel even a tiny bit of negative emotions towards Nezuko.. Plus, she's so cute!" You motioned with your hands for her to come closer to you, and she did so immediately, making you feel surprised. You expected that you needed to do a little bit of coaxing, but for her to just waddle up towards you without a care in the world- you can't help giddiness from flowing within you.

Tanjiro just stared at you two, a smile on his face as he witnessed you two getting along without a hitch. He was glad that you were so welcoming when it came to his sister in spite of her not being a human, something which he was truly grateful for.

As his optics found itself wandering towards your smile, a newfound feeling crept its way into his heart. 'A smile suits her the best,' he thought, the upward tugging of his lips never relenting.

Maybe this whole dilemma of yours wasn't as bad as you initially thought..
