I stared at the girls back as she prepared breakfast. Her every move was precise and silent. She's just as silent as Urokodaki. It's kind of strange... A sigh escaped her lips as she turned to look at me, her (h/c) hair moving slightly, a strand of hair falling into her face.

Her (e/c) eyes were sparkling as a bright smile was present on her lips. "We'll be training together soon, you know." she said, the enthusiasm basically dripping from her words. I only nodded, not sure what to say. She turned back around, continuing her work.

"Say, what's your name?" she asked after a few moments of silence. "Tanjiro Kamado." I answered shortly, not able to take my eyes off her. "Tanjiro, huh? And your sister? She's lovely, by the way." "She's Nezuko. And thank you for watching over her. What's your name?" "I'm (Y/N). Nice to meet you, Tanjiro."

She turned a little, giving me another, bright smile. I couldn't help but to smile back at her. The presence she's giving off is a nice and warm one. It feels comfortable. I feel like I could spend a lot of time with her.

Just a second later, she put a bowl in front of me before walking towards the door. She called: "Sensei! Breakfast's ready!" She calls Urokodaki Sensei? As she got back, she sat down opposite of me. "Thank you for the food." we said, then started eating.

I took a bite, asking: "Is Urokodaki-san your teacher?" She glanced up at me, asking: "Yes. he is. Why do you ask?" "You seem kinda close to him." "Oh, that's because I lived here for years already. And he taught me a lot. I guess I was just used to what the others called him."

The others? Before I could ask her more questions, Urokodaki joined us and sat down next to her. "Thank you for the food." he said as he put his mask up a bit, starting to eat immediately.

"I am a cultivator. Like what the word describes, I cultivate swordsmen. There are a lot of cultivators who teach a variety of techniques in a variety of places." explained Sensei shortly. Nothing that I haven't heard before.

"If one wants to enter the Demon Slayer Corps then they must survive in the Final Selection on Fujikasaneyama." I tensed up as he mentioned the Final Selection. Feeling his eyes on me, I quickly shook my head, smiling like I usually do.

I'll stay strong. I promised. Looking back over at Tanjiro, he continued: "I get to decide whether you are allowed to enter the Final Selection." We both nodded, determined. I looked at Tanjiro, saying: "Let's do our best, then." "Yes!"

A bit later, as I was inspecting the sword I'd be training with, Sensei asked: "(Y/N), are you sure you want to join the Demon Slayers?" I looked up at him, sorting my thoughts. Eventually, I said: "I know what you're thinking. I mean, I know what I'm thinking, too, but..."

I smiled sadly at him, adding: "I promised. I promised to stay strong. I can't lie to my big brothers, now can I?" A light chuckle escaped my lips. Sensei put a hand on my head, causing me to look up at him once more.

His voice was soft as he said: "You've grown so much. I have second thoughts, too, but I do believe that you can make it." "I did get to watch my father and my brothers train a lot, so I think I should be fine. I'm more worried about Tanjiro." "Don't be. He should be just fine. I can tell that he'll be strong." I gave Sensei a bright smile, replying: "Okay. Thank you, Sensei!"
