Fading Flame( Demon Kyojuro x Reader)

Chapter 31

Y/N's POV

When I wake up early in the morning, Kyojuro was already gone so I assume he left me when I was deep asleep. Also the pillar will start right now and I was heading in my way towards Giyuu's estate. I wanted to check him one last time before going back to train some of the demon slayers. I stopped when I saw Tanjiro together with Giyuu making me hide in one of the wall.

" I'm not worthy to be called a pillar like the others, I'm not like them. I should have never become part of them." I clenched my hands when I heard Giyuu spoke, until now he still blames himself in Sabito and Makomo's death. Am I not a good friend to him? I didn't even stayed besides him while he is suffering. I alway thought that he is fine and he is not hurting anymore but I'm mistaken.

" Giyuu-san, whatever Sabito entrusted to you makes the two of you had a strong connection to each other?" Tanjiro suddenly spoke making me peck to watch them. Giyuu widened his eyes while touching his cheeks. While Tanjiro started to panick like he said something bad, I smiled when I saw Giyuu smiled a little making me carefully exited. Tanjiro already helped him and I already know Giyuu will join with us. He really is something, I should thanked him later if he will train in my estate.

I then arrived in my estate and I saw Ayano training alone in the dojo room, I tried asking her to join in the training but she wanted to train alone. I just let her cause I know she can't change my mind, thanks to my servant they helped me preparing the traps I'll be using for the training. Also my house is near the the forest, I bet some of the young demon slayers are there already.

" Kai, can you signal them to come down already? I wanted to see how many of them will pass to my trial." I said with a smile, he then nod before flying away. Now, what should I do to kill time until night comes. Okay I should train Ayano first, I feel bad in not training her always. I should take this chance to spend my time a little with her.

********
I was blankly staring at my empty ground, it's already twelve pm and why are there no slayer yet coming down. My trial is easy to pass, and yet why are there no one in here. I sighed, I get it why Sanemi-san hates the slayer who had low rank, they didn't even improve. Maybe I made my trial more harder than Urokodaki-san's first trial to me.

" Y/N-sama, I'll be joining Kanao to train with the wind pillar." Ayano said, I blinked my eyes, I thought she don't want to train with the other pillars. I humned in response with a smile before approaching her.

" Ehh? Who made you change your mind?" I asked teasingly making her blush a little before avoiding her gaze to me.

" I-I decided to train also for me to be equal with you." She said more than like a whisper but I heard it. I giggled before tapping her head.

" I'm happy that you can show me some of your emotion. I don't know who helped you but I want to thanked that person." I said happily, she then faced me with a wide eyes before smiling and nodding her head. After that she then bid goodbye before leaving me. Should I write a letter to Sanemi-san for him not to hurt Ayano too much.

I sighed, no I should not do that. Who knows what will he say to me, I don't want him to scold me like he always do whenever I'm late in the meeting. I prefer Himejima-san to nag me than him. I saw Kai who is flying towards me before landing in my lap, he then shook his head and I already knew what he mean making me sigh again.

" I see, I feel bad towards them but they can't improve if they can't even pass to a simple trial." I said making him agree, this pillar training is making my head hurt. I can't just believe that no one passed in my trial despite in passing to the other pillar's trials. I thought my training is the easiest  one but I guess I was wrong.
