- 12 Unfortunate Events -

[No I did not steal from the movie, this is basically what is going to happen in the chapter :P]

Ever since The trio's encounter with an upper moon demon which resulted in Rengoku's death, lots of events had been occurring. Uzui and the same three boys had another encounter with two (or one) upper moon demon not long after. This resulted in Uzui losing an eye and an arm. Just as everything everyone is fearing, Oyakata-sama's words are coming to the truth. Change. 

Now that an Upper moon demon was killed, the Pillars worry at what Muzan could possibility plot against them. Everyone's now training harder then they could handle, trying their best to get stronger and stronger. At the same time, Oyakata-sama's health is worsening by every minute. 

Y/n stood in the middle of it all, she kept debating on whether to help nurse Oyakata-sama, which means she would have to stop her training. However, if she were to continue her training, she might not be able to say goodbye to him. 

Are things going to only get worse from here now on? 

================================================================================

Y/n was training once again. She's trained and trained, without taking a break. She vowed to be stronger, to protect those who she loves. She had chosen her training path to grow stronger instead of taking care of Oyakata-sama. That decision was still painful for her, but she fears she wouldn't be of much help if she didn't train. 

''Y/n-san. You've trained for 5 hours straight, you should take a break.'' Mitsuri advised, sipping in her bottle. ''Sorry, Mitsuri-chan... I'm not on point yet.'' the girl said between pants. ''I'm being serious Y/n. We shouldn't kill ourselves just yet.'' The pink-haired girl cried, trying to get her friend to stop swinging her wooden sword at a tree. 

''Oh! how about we go visit the swordsmith village?? We could relax in the springs there.'' Mitsuri suggested, excited to see the village again. The violet-eyed girl finally stopped hitting the tree and turned to face her friend. Flashing a smile, Y/n replied ''That sounds like a great idea Mitsuri-chan. Unfortunately, I'm going for a run, you could go first if you like, I'll join you tomorrow if so.'' 

Without saying anything else much, the girl took off, leaving her friend behind. ''Eh Y/n-san... aww boo, why is she so cold these days.'' Mitsuri pouted, deciding to head off to the village. 

The girl wasn't the only one who wanted to get stronger, in a distance, a boy too, wish to grow stronger. To protect the ones he cares about. Thus, he headed for the fighting dummy that was rumour to be at the swordsmith village. 

================================================================================

As Y/n ran, the wind blew past her, pushing her hair off her face, making the girl feel refreshed. The chilly evening air filled her lung as she ran. Y/n just ran, she doesn't even know where she's headed to. But her body seems to know where exactly to take her. 

Not long later, Y/n had found herself at the top of a familiar hill, the same hill she and Muichirou would run to. ''I could watch the sunset here...'' she thought, watching the sky turn from blue to a beautiful shade of orange. Sitting on the soft grass, she laid her back gently onto the ground. Her violet eyes stared at the drifting clouds, slowly passing her.

As if her hands had the mind of their own, her arm moved to touch the cloud pendant on her chest. She never took it off. Never did, never would. The coldness in her eyes slowly drifted off her violet eyes like grey clouds, instead replaced by the familiar warmth it once held. 

As if that moment, her troubles and worries had drifted away. Taking in a deep breathe, Y/n shut her eyes, clearing her head. Soon, the girl had drifted off to sleep.
