"Ne..Natsu.."
"Eh?"
"Don't worry about me, mkay?..I'm capable and strong to protect myself from harm."
"But nee-san-"
"Shhh..Worry about yourself first..I promise to you that I will be fine..
You already know that demon slayers get hurt right?"
I ask as she nods her head slowly,while the others are just eating and listening to us and didn't utter a single word.
"So don't worry.. it's normal for slayers to get hurt"
"I can't shake the feeling of losing you too..or you getting hurt."
She sulk and look down,facing the tatami floor below her.
"Well..I'm gonna ask you.. something..and promise this one thing."
"What is it nee-san?"
She ask as I took a deep breath and close my eyes.
Few seconds later,I opened my eyes and stare at her seriously,she stiffens at my serious gaze at her while the others still didn't utter a single word.
"When I start being a demon slayer,can you promise me,promise me that,
you and him will protect them from any danger and demons too okay?"
"Hai!"
