(2nd person, Zenitsu's POV)

Zenitsu felt a presence besides him. He snapped his neck towards the figure and widen his eyes.

It was a woman, tall and beautiful.

Her long, shiny black hair swayed in the gentle wind of the starry sky.

She wore a long black Kimono with a white robe.

She was wearing a matagama around her wrist. It felt familier.

She was looking towards the sky. Along with a gentle smile on her face.

"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?" She spoke.

I didn't even sense anyone or heard anything. Where did this lady came from? Her voice is so.... soothing. It calms me somehow. Wait, she asked me something I guess...

The woman turned her face towards him, her Turquoise eyes staring into his golden ones with a smile. She waved her hand infront of him.

"You okay, child?"

Zenitsu snapped back into reality.

"Yes I am. If you don't mind, may I know who you are?" He asked with curiosity, with a hand resting on the trunk next to him.

The woman just simply gave him a closed eye smile before answering.

"My name is Sakura."

Zenitsu flinched. This woman shared the same name as his mother. His mind flooded with all the memories again. Tears pricked his eyes again. He blinked his eyes to stop crying and looked at the beautiful view infront of him.

"Its a beautiful name. I'm-"

"You're Zenitsu, right?"

He widened his eyes in surprise.

"How do you know?"

"I've been watching you for a while now." She looked at him again. "I've noticed, you have the potential."

"Thank you, Sakura-san." He said with a smile.

They both sat down on the branch and stared into the sky.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Indeed. Ne~ Sakura-san, so you live here? Or maybe nearby?"

She just simply smiled, never giving an answer.

That's pretty strange. I can barely hear her sounds. I've gotta admit, she's brave to be in a forest at this hour.

It's been a few weeks since Sakura-san is visiting me. We talk about a lot of things. Her aura and sound is so pure, it reminds me of my mother. Talking to her was like, talking to mom.

Whenever I used to ask where she came from

"I was taken in by Kujiwama-san along with my son. "

Even though the answer never satisfied me, I never asked the further details. She even told me that Kujiwama-san San sees her as his own daughter and took great care of them.

"Do you wish to become stronger after you become a slayer?" Shs asked me, out of the blue.

"Of course I do. I still have to find my younger sister. I have to stay strong forever."

"I'd like to give you an advice, Zenitsu."

"Yes?"

"Train till you feel like every part of your body" She faced me "is going to fall apart."
