Fading Flame( Demon Kyojuro x Reader)

Chapter 5

Y/N's POV

Six days have passed, and today was the last day for us to survive. I managed to kill lots of demons on the way, but still, I didn't meet a morphed demon. I didn't even meet Rengoku on the way but I'm sure he was dealing with demons also. I lost my count of the demons I killed, also I don't even know how many of us survived. A sudden light met me as I keep on going, making me stop.

I can smell the scent of the wisteria flower, so it means I survived the final selection. I sighed in relief as I placed my sword back into its sheath before looking around for a certain yellow-haired boy. A smile formed on my lips when I saw him standing while talking to one of the participants. I'm happy he survived, well of course he will survive. A person who can easily kill three opponents with one attack is so amazing.

" I'm happy to see some of you survive, then we will start explaining everything." Hinaki and Nichika then appeared while explaining the ten ranks. I still don't know what my rank is, but more importantly, I'm alive. They also explained the ore of our nichirin blade and all we have to do is pick one. I stared at the stone like ore thinking of what will I get.

" Hard to pick isn't it?" I flinched when I heard a cheer but I smiled and nod when I saw Rengoku beside me staring at the ore in front of us. He then faced me while smiling before picking one, I also picked one before the twins gave our uniform. One Kasugaigarasu appeared and landed on my shoulder, it was a black crow and it will help us in our missions.

The other participants started packing their uniforms before leaving. I also decided to fix my uniform so I can easily carry it.

" Nee-chan, a letter from our father." Hinaki suddenly appeared with a letter in her hand. I smiled and get the letter before thanking her.

" I'm happy you survive, nee-chan." Nichika then appeared with a smile making me hug the two of them.

" I miss you two! How's father and mother doing?" I asked, they looked at each other before facing me still smiling.

" They're both fine, and mother is waiting for you. When will you come back home?" They said in unison making me place my index finger on my chin. Now that I passed in the final selection and I bet my mission will start after I get my nichirin blade.

" Well, I still need to wait for my nichirin blade but don't worry. After I got my blade I'll go home." I said with a grin they then nod before giving me one last hug. They are busy after all, Oyakata-sama was so strict when it comes to them. Especially to Kiriya, after all, he will be the next master if Oyakata-sama died. Thinking of it made me sad again, I sighed while grabbing my uniform.

" Oh, Y/N." I saw Rengoko who is also leaving making me smile and approach him. " Why not we go back to the estate together?" He asked but I shook my head still smiling.

" I'm sorry Rengoku, but I need to meet my mentor first before going back to the Demon Slayer estate," I said making hummed in response.

" Okay, and also I already knew I will meet you again for sure." He said with a grin, I don't know why but my heart suddenly beat fastly and I can feel my face heat up. I didn't say anything and hide my blushing face making him chuckle.

Both of us didn't said anything after that and it made me awkward. I'm a person who wants to be the friend of someone whom I already met. But this time is a little bit awkward for me, maybe I still need to know more about Rengoku so that I will be comfortable around him.

" Reng-"

" I'll be heading this way then Y/N." I was cut off when he spoke while pointing to the path going towards the estate. I forgot that we stayed at different places. I smile and nod, I feel disappointed for not asking him questions.

" I'll be heading this way also," I replied as I point the way going to Urokodaki-san's place. He hummed in response but I was shocked when he suddenly ruffles my hair.

" Let's meet again Y/N. Then see ya!" He said before leaving me, I smiled and agreed before turning my back and started walking. " Also call me by my first name! Y/N!" I stopped when he yelled, I faced him and saw his big grin while waving his hand.

I smiled and waved my hand also when he left. I also decided to go back to Urokodaki-san's place, still smiling and humming happily. Rengoku, oh yes he said I'll call him by his first name. Kyojuro is a person who is friendly and kind, I can't wait to meet him again.

" Y/N!" I was tackled into a tight hug as soon as I arrived, I squealed when I felt fell to the ground. Makomo, Sabito, and Giyuu were now hugging me making me chuckle. My body is tired but seeing them wash my tiredness away. Urokodaki-san also approached us with a hug.

" I'm home." I gently said before we pulled away, Sabito then carried my uniform while Makomo pulled me inside the bathroom. I was flustered when she started to remove the sash of my kimono making me stop her by holding her shoulders. " M-makomo I'll bath myself okay? I'm fine." I said with a smile before pushing her and closing the door.

" Then, call me if you need your clothes." She said outside the door, making me sigh. I can't believe that I forgot my clothes, but whatever I'll just take a bath to clean myself.

It took me a minute before I finished bathing, Makomo gave me my clothes by entering. I still feel awkward that she saw me naked, but I pushed it away. It's my first time entering a bathroom with a girl so I'm not used to bathing with my girl siblings. Maybe I should try having a bath with them.

" Y/N, time to eat," Giyuu said while approaching us, I smiled and nodded as Makomo and I followed him. My eyes sparkled when I saw lots of delicious food on the table. Urokodaki-san surely is a good cook, also it's delicious.

" Don't stop yourself and eat Y/N-sama." Urokodaki-san, I nod while started tasting the food. I hummed happily cause it was delicious, the way Urokodaki-san cook is the same as Amane-san.

" It's delicious Urokodaki-san." I said earning a smile from the three before they also started eating.

" Now that Y/N passed the final selection, we should do our best also," Sabito said with a smile cheering the two, I smiled and nodded.

" I'm sure the three of you will pass, let's see who will be the first to become a pillar," I replied making them look at each other and face me with a determined face.

" Bring it on Y/N." I giggled at Sabito's word.

We keep on talking until we finished our food, Urokodaki-san said that he asked a swordsmith to make my blade so I'll wait for fifteen days, also for me to rest and help the others trained. I remembered the letter Oyakata-sama wrote for me making me excuse myself and entered our room. I opened it and started reading, a smile formed on my lips as I read it.

He congratulates me for passing the final selection and also for becoming a demon slayer. I didn't hesitate and grabbed a blank paper. I started writing my letter also, thanking him and also telling him everything about my training with Urokodaki-san. I didn't miss any words while writing, I stopped for a while thinking about what will I write lastly. But I smiled and continued writing.

' I can't wait to go back home, Father. And also please take care of yourself.

- Ubuyashiki Y/N'

After writing it all, I fold it and place it into a folder. I then called my Kasugaigarasu and I give him a name that he liked. I was amazed to have him cause I never expect him to be so happy that he will be helping me.

" Kai, can you give this to my father?" I asked gently making his face, his black eyes were staring at me.

" I'll be grateful to do it Y/N-sama." He replied before I tied the letter to his feet. I then nod signaling him to go, and with that, he flew away leaving me. I already knew that my father will be happy reading my letter after he received it, and I knew Amane-san was also happy.
