A few days had passed since Rengoku's death, and everyone was effected. Mitsuri, of course, was in shock- after all he was her teacher. Ubuyashiki had given him a peaceful send off and ensured he would live an amazing existence in the after life with his mother.

(Y/N) sighed as she stared up at the white ceiling, these thoughts constantly crossing her mind. Luckily she managed to pull through and her wound was healing nicely, and she found out that Inosuke had carried her the entire way here- he refused to let anyone touch her. 

"Bless him" She whispered to herself as she outstretched her haori covered arm. During all her time in bed she had managed to stitch Kyojuro's haori up, and she wore it with great pride. She even refused to take it off. But that wasn't important. The thing that was most important to her was figuring out what the hell 'Eclipse Breathing' was. Ubuyashiki had tried his best to explain it to her...but man was she still confused.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning, (L/N)-Chan" A soft voice greeted, and she jumped slightly in her bed. She wasn't used to having visitors. A young man stood in the doorway, and she immediately recognized him as the master of the Demon Slayer Corps- and she quickly bowed her head.

"There's no need to do that, please lift your head" He chuckled softly and she did as she was told. He took a seat next to her bed and she couldn't help but stare- even though she knew it was rude. From his forehead down to the bridge of his nose was scarred and decaying skin, and she could only feel sympathy for him. She could only imagine how painful it was.

"Now, I'm here to talk to you about the train" He began and she tilted her head in confusion. The train? All that happened was the death of an amazing pillar, or at least that's all she could focus on.

"The train?" She asked, and he smiled slightly.

"Apparently last minute you used a new breathing style, one you weren't familiar with" He explained and her e/c eyes widened. He was right, she had been able to use a completely brand new breathing style...and one she had never even heard of.

"How did you find out about that style?" He asked, and she gulped. How was she supposed to answer that question? 

"I...I have no idea" She whispered and she looked down at her white bed sheets. Her h/c locks created a certain around her face which she was thankful for. She hears the master sigh slightly and he shifts in his chair.

"I see, my child. Well that breathing style is one of the rarest known, and it takes a lot of training to master. So the fact that you managed to use a form of it is incredibly impressive" He smiles and she feels her stomach flip. 

"Only a certain blood type is able to use this style successfully, and I have reasons to believe that you're part of this blood line"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her head was still reeling from what he explained to her. Not to humble herself, but her family was pretty plain so there was no way she could be part of some 'rare bloodline'. According to the master, only 2 people on the planet had it coursing through them. So if she was one...who was the other?

"Oi, dumbass" A gruff voice called and she smiled. The familiar face of the boar boy peeked his head round the door and she beckoned him inside. He seemed a lot more timid after what happened on the train and she couldn't blame him.

"Hello, Ino" She said softly and he felt his stomach flip- like hundreds of butterflies resided in it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'You can do it, don't be a pussy' The boy thought to himself as he tip toed over to her bedside. Her torso was covered in bandages and even from this distance he could see the flame pattern on her haori. The Pillars death had really hit her hard, and to be honest this made him kind of jealous.

"So uh, I wanted to talk to you" He mumbled as he sat beside her bed and looked down at his feet. Eye contact was always something he struggled with and he didn't know why-it just made him feel weak.

"I'm always happy to talk about anything" (Y/N) said sweetly, and his face heated up even more. Shit, this was going to be more difficult than he thought. In all truthfulness, it was Tanjiro that had helped him build up the courage to do this. Before he left (going god knows where, the stupid boy) he had given Inosuke a little pep talk. He scratched at his hands as he took a deep breath.

"So Monjiro said...uh he said- he said" He began to stutter out, and the girl giggled slightly. Nice going Inosuke you idiot. She gently took his hand, and gave it a squeeze as he composed himself.

"He said I love you. And I don't know what that means but I think he's right. Every time I look at you I get this stupid feeling in my tummy- it's irritating!" He huffed out. He looks up from his lap, and stares at the girls flushed face. Her eyes were wide as she stared back at the boy- and a huge smile made it's way onto her face. Cherry blossom petals blew through the room, all due to the open patio door, and they settled in her short locks as the two looked at each other. There was a tension in the air...but it didn't feel like a bad one. A few minutes pass as she opens her mouth.

"I...I love you too, idiot" She whispered out, and Inosuke squeaked. He wasn't expecting her to reciprocate his feelings. Dumbass actually liked him? His lips trembled as he looked into her eyes, and she rolled them slightly. The feeling in his stomach had increased drastically as he inched closer towards the girl- and his emerald eyes began to flutter shut.

"That's...that's good" He whispered back as (Y/N) closed the gap between them, and she placed her lips on his. The kiss was somewhat awkward due to their lack of experience, but it was sweet...and that's all that mattered.

(Sorry this chapter is so short! I went on a short break from my tumblr, and I came back feeling kinda unmotivated. Butttt, I wanted to write a confession scene because I thought it was about time! I promise the next one will be a lot lot longer, so it may take me a while to write. See ya- Bunny!)
