Zenitsu and Tanjiro had already been sold to their allocated places, now all that was left was for Inosuke and (Y/N) to be sold too. The pillar walked closely behind them, his white hair loose around his face. Her feet were beginning to hurt due to the ridiculous shoes she had to wear- and this only added to her grumpiness. Inosuke seemed completely oblivious, he was just happy to be near her. (Y/N) feels a hand get placed on her shoulder and she jumps slightly, and she turns around. Uzui has his hand placed on her and he smirks down at her- and she grumbles.

"Get your hand off of me before I kick you in the balls" She spat, and he looked taken aback. She just wanted to go home- this is far from what she signed up for. A woman appears behind the pillar, and she claps her hands.

"Excuse me, sir. These girls are stunning! I'm part of the Ogimoto House, and i'd love to take them in!" She says happily, and Uzui grins. He pushes the two forwards and (Y/N) almost stumbles due to the force of the push.

"You're from the Ogimoto House? Well, thank you for your patronage!" Uzui says in a sweet voice, and they follow behind the woman with dragged feet.

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

Inside the Ogimoto house, chaos was ensuing. (Y/N) sat with her legs crossed on the matted floor whilst one of the girls tried to remove Inosuke's makeup. She had wavy black hair tied into a low bun, and her own face was painted delicately.

"Your face was painted so weirdly, who on earth did it?" She asked softly, her British accent thick. This made (Y/N) pout and she looked down at her kimono clad lap. The makeup wasn't that bad, she tried her best! The girl placed the cloth back into the wooden bowl and she clapped her hands.

"Done!" She smiled, her blue eyes filled with pride. Inosuke immediately jumped up from the floor and shimmied over the (Y/N), and that made her heart flip. The girl that cleaned him up raised her eyebrows slightly but she ignored his strange behavior, and she placed the bowl on one of the tables.

"So...what are your names?" The black haired girl asked awkwardly as she stood, and (Y/N) sent Inosuke a harsh look that said 'Do not open your mouth, I'm doing the talking'.

"I'm (Y/N), and this is Inoko. Lovely to meet you" She bowed, and the girl smiled. She seemed to be a bit older than the two- and she didn't sense any ill intent from her. She patted the two on the head as she began walking through the sliding doors.

"If you ever need anything at all, tell the girls Bunny sent you" She grinned before exiting the room.

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

Night began to cloak the district in darkness as the two sneaked around the long corridors. Inosuke held onto her hand lightly as they walked, and he'd occasionally give her a squeeze to show he was still there. It was strange...they had been together officially for a few months now but not much had changed- and she was thankful for that. It meant things remained comfortable. (Y/N) all of a sudden halted to a stop, and the dark haired boy almost screeched. They heard whispering and she turned around to Inosuke, and placed her finger on her lips.

"I really hope Makio-San is okay. She locked herself in her room and hasn't come out!" One of the girls said in a hushed tone, and her e/c hues widened. Makio was the name of Uzui's wife, this couldn't be good.

"She said she wasn't feeling too well, but she refuses to see the doctor. She might be dragged out soon" The other girl replied, and they continued their hushed whispers. (Y/N) turned to Inosuke with a shocked look on her face- one he reciprocated. 

"What are you girls still doing awake?" A familiar voice sounded and the hushed whispers stopped. (Y/N) latched onto Inosuke and she pushed herself up against the wall so they wouldn't be seen.

"Sorry Bunny-San!" The girls ushered out, and the girl chuckled.

"It's alright. Just...get to bed before the mistress catches you" She said and they scurried off. So Maiko was here...that's why the contact was cut off.

"C'mon!" (Y/N) hissed, and she began pulling Inosuke by the sleeve.

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

Zenitsu hung his head as he walked through the crowded hallway. The makeup on his face felt like cement- and he felt uncomfortable as a whole. 

'I was supposed to be looking Uzui's wife, but I haven't had the time' He thought to himself as he moped around, trying to avoid all the people. The house had been extremely busy the past few days since the Madam's death- and he could sense that something was off. 

'Everyone's acting so gloomy, nobody is talking' He thought to himself once more and he tucked his hands behind his ears. He managed to pick up the sound of sobbing, and his heart immediately dropped.

"A girl is crying!" He whispered to himself and he rushed towards the source of the sound. He rounds the corner and a completely messed up room comes into view, accompanied by a sobbing girl. 

"This room is a mess! What the hell happened!?" He screamed, and the girl gasped as she turned around to him. Her face was all bruised and bloodied as she had tears pooled in her eyes. The blonde boy felt himself begin to panic.

"DID YOU GET INTO A FIGHT?! ARE YOU OKAY?!" He screeched and he dropped to his knees as he tried to comfort the girl. Just as he went to extend a hand towards her he felt a dark presence behind him. 

"What are you doing in someone else's room?" The voice spat and all the hairs on his body stood up. This was...the sound of a demon.

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

The three of them crouched on the rooftops, conversing. Tanjiro seemed calm as usual and his face had been stripped of makeup. 

"I'm telling you! There's a demon at my place!" Inosuke exclaimed and he shook (Y/N) by her shoulders and she grumbled. He never knew when to be gentle- damn him! Tanjiro watched the two with a smile on his face, his wine red eyes soft. Inosuke let go of his girlfriends shoulders and he began jumping around- twisting his arms in unnatural positions.

"This is what it looks like! I'm sure of it!" He screeched and she had to contain her giggle- he looked absolutely ridiculous right now. The red haired boy seemed to be thinking the same thing and he wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"I-I think Uzui-San and Zenitsu will be here soon...so wait for then, right (Y/N)?" He said desperately and she nodded, placing her hands on Inosuke's face to calm him down.

"Zenitsu isn't coming" A gruff voice sounded, and they all whipped their heads towards the sound. Uzui was sat with their backs to them, hunched over. She could sense something strange emitting off of him, and she crossed her arms.

"What does that even mean?" She asked sternly, and Uzui continued staring at the ground. His white locks were a mess and he looked incredibly disheveled. 

"I think I put you guys in terrible danger"
