A few days had passed since she witnessed....whatever the hell you would call that. She had been left with numerous sleepless nights and so many questions. Sighing, she placed her head down on the table and closed her eyes.

"What's wrong, (Y/N)-Chan?" Tanjiro asked softly as he patted her back, and she sighed once more. The two of them were still at the village- Tanjiro had found a strange training doll and he wanted to play around with it. He was also told by Mitsuri that there was a hidden sword somewhere and he was hooked on finding it, goddammit Mitsuri!

"You won't believe me" She mumbled against the wood of the table, and her friend let out a gentle chuckle. She hadn't even told Inosuke yet- she was scared that he'd just laugh at her.

"(Y/N)-Chan, we fight demons for a living. Of course I'd believe you" Tanjiro grinned as she lifted her head from the table and she groaned. The food in front of her was going cold, so before she could explain anything she shoved a rice ball into her mouth. Damn, she had spent too much time around Ino.

"Just...I went exploring in the woods the other day and I saw something super weird" (Y/N) began to explain as she wiped some stray bits of rice from her mouth. Tanjiro sat up straight on the floor as she started her story- paying full attention.

"I touched some flowers and all of a sudden, I saw this kinda flashback. Muzan was there and there was this...man. The man had the same last name as me- and he used the same breath style as me! Just before the flashback ended, my relative was forced to eat a flower- Muzan called it a Nepenthe" She finished as she pushed her h/c locks out of her face, and Tanjiro sat staring at her- stunned.

"A nepenthe huh?" He spoke softly, and she sent him a quizzed look. Tanjiro knew what that was?

"(Y/N)...one of your relatives came face to face with Muzan, did you recognize them?" He said as he stared at her, grabbing her shoulders which took her by surprise. Her e/c hues widened as she tried to think back to the flashback, trying desperately to remember. In all honesty, she never really spoke to many of her relatives. The only ones she saw regularly were her mother, her sisters and her....father!

"I think...I think it was my dad"

Inosuke grumbled as he tossed and turned on his futon, a pout on his face. His mask no longer smelt like her shampoo...he missed her.

"This sucks" He mumbles as he places his pillow over his face, groaning into it. It had been days since her last letter to him, days! Maybe she was busy with something...maybe she had gotten into a fight. He couldn't dwell too much. It just meant the letters she had sent were that much more valuable. Snores broke him out of his thoughts, and he glared at the figure. Of all people to be paired up with on a mission- he got Zenitsu. The lightning boy had been too busy crying about how much he misses the demon girl to even focus on the mission.

"I hope you'll be back soon, dumbass" Inosuke whispered to himself as he ran his calloused hand through his black locks, and he finally drifted off to sleep.

[Sorry for the short chapter! Also sorry for the lack of (Y/N) and Inosuke cuteness, in the next few chapters you'll see more! Ty for being patient with me, and don't you worry...the next chapter will be intense- Bunny]
