CAT || Kimetsu No Yaiba Fanfic

Cat Chapter 16

"Hey."

"Murata-san!"

Hotaru look up from the letter she was writing as she heard Tanjiro greeting a visitor. It was that person they met on the mountain, that one who Inosuke punched just because.

Hotaru listened half-heartedly as man rant and grumble and sulk how scary his experience was when he was summoned to the Hashira meeting to report his mission.

She furrowed her eyebrows.

But why would you be frightened anyway? They don't look that scary. Maybe Sanemi is a bit intimidating but that's it. They're stronger and faster than other people, but they're still human like any other. Unless you provoke them or Oyakata-sama, then you're fi...ne...

Ahhh.

She blink, remembering how disrespectful she was during the meeting. And she literally called the wind Hashira names. And the serpent Hashira. And the flame–

Okayyy she may be a little bit vulgar, and she may have literally threatened them, but she was defending two of her brats! She may have seen it from the series before, but it's different now! That's her brats now, not just the Kimetsu no Yaiba brats.

She frowned down at the letter she was writing. Ahh, now she can't remember where she was. Where was it... Brats, mission, knocked out... Ah yeah. Spiders.

Someone was tugging on her blanket. The blanket was given by a stranger when she fall asleep on the roof after her 'discussion' with the three kids. She just woke up with the blanket draped over her. She doesn't know who owns the blanket.

She kept the blanket just because it feels so warm. It smells comforting, smelling like caramel and honey. And sometimes she'll just shift into a cat and let one of the boys roll her on the blanket for an hour. It's freakn waaarm.

She look to her side and saw Inosuke tugging the blanket. "What is it?" She asked.

"Need to pee..." He rasped.

Hotaru raised an amused eyebrow. Inosuke just tugged again.

"Alright." She chuckled. She placed the letter neatly aside before holding out her hand to which he immediately latched into with his own. "Hey, I'll just come with this pig for a bit. Don't cause any trouble." She said behind her as they walked out of the door.

"Haiii."

On the way, they had passed Shinobu, who was looking at them amused.

"Please bring him to the training room for functional recovery training later, Hotaru-san." She said after them.

"Yeah, thanks." She responded simply. At least she didn't glomp on her or anything.

Inosuke look behind them at the smiling woman before he peered up to the scowling one. "Who's that?"

Hotaru glace at him for a moment then returned her glaze in front of them. "Kocho Shinobu. She owns this big house so she's basically the master and lord here. So play nice, okay?"

She squeeze his hand. Inosuke didn't nod nor said anything, but he squeeze her hand back. That's fine, she know he's listening.

"Henlo." Hotaru greeted once they arrived at the training room. Kanao, the strict nurse, and three other girls was there along with Tanjiro sitting obidiently. Inosuke went to sat beside Tanjiro while she head straight to slump on a wall.

Zenitsu was not here with them yet. Maybe because his body was not yet recovered like the other two. They're not really fully recovered yet, but they're almost healed besides the sore muscles.
