Old
"You're mocking us, aren't you?" What the hell."What made you think that?" Tanjiro demanded, "I haven't done anything like that, now you're just making false accusations!""You're a wielder of the Sun Breathing technique, don't think I didn't know about those earrings! I-It was in the book!"'Sun Breathing? Right, Tanjiro did have a question about that, didn't he?' y/n recalled, 'I guess if Kyojuro-san remembered something about it, naturally his father would know about it too.'"The... the what?" Tanjiro hadn't seemed to have caught in yet, and even if he did, he didn't voice it. Possibly to avoiding pissing off the old fart even more."Sun Breathing, the first breathing style! The one from which all other breathing styles originated! Every other breath style is nothing more than an imitation, inferior copies!" that mf spat as Tanjiro was kind of spacing out, "Don't get full of yourself just because you're a Sun breathing user!""How could I ever be full of myself? Don't you realize just how useless I've been?!" Tanjiro demanded, the sudden increase in volume causing y/n to recoil in surprise as he ran at the drunk dude, "You good for nothing old man! Don't talk badly about Rengoku-san!""Hey, wait! Be careful, father is a retired Hashira!" Senjuro tried to warn the boy but his warning roved futile as Shinjuro snatched Tanjiro up and started beating his 🍑.Y/n couldn't stand to watch her injured friend get the brakes beat off of him and began to rush over to help, only for Tanjiro to sudden do a whole 360 midair and headbutt the old man so hard they both fell unconscious.Later on, after Tanjiro had recovered, him, Senjuro, and y/n all sat together. The h/c haired girl was a little worried about her companion, but he seemed well enough despite all that moving about. Still...'Shinobu-san won't be happy...'Y/n shuddered as she quietly enjoyed the tea Senjuro had offered her and Tanjiro while the latter was apologizing.She remembered this place, she used to watch as the Love Hashira and the late Flame Hashira would train together. Sometimes, y/n would jump in as well, but it took a while for her to gain the courage to ask....egh, she didn't like it here.
It made her chest hurt.Y/n allowed her mind to kind of drift as Tanjiro and Senjuro spoke, but she was painfully aware as the burgundy haired boy shared what the late Flame Hashira had said in his final moments.Senjuro did want to know, but still.
It hurt hearing it all over again.'Shinazugawa-san... I wanna go back to Shinazugawa-san.' y/n thought miserably.She assured herself that she was be returning eventually, but first, they had to investigate that book Rengoku had conveniently recalled before kicking the bucket.Senjuro retrieved it and Tanjiro had begun to take a look only to find that the pages had been ripped to shreds.The trio stared at it with looks of disbelief before y/n let out a small groan, "Senjuro-kun...""Hm?"She rolled up her sleeeves, "Can I-?""Please don't, y/n-san.""Understood..."Turns out, that's miserable old fart had ripped up the book. Senjuro offered to try and find something else in the meantime, but lent the ripped book and the shredded portions he could find to y/n upon her request.She wasn't sure what she was gonna do, but making an attempt to figure out what it said was worth a shot. Even if that meant sorting through a 💩 ton of shredded paper.The duo base Senjuro farewell, y/n promised to visit again later, and the two departed. Not before Senjuro gave the tsuba of his older brother's sword to Tanjiro....ah, it was starting to hurt again.
Y/n wanted to go back to the dojo.The walk back was quiet and solemn, at always until Haganezuka came out of nowhere and attempted to kill Tanjiro.What a day... and it would only end up being a longer one that evening as y/m struggled to figure out where the ripped pages belonged.The following few months were spent struggling to fix the book and training nonstop every day. Of course there were little portions of time where y/n would pay her favorite— did I say favorite — trio a visit and watch them suffer, but the days were starting to blur...Soon, all three of them were back to going on missions. *y/n was stuck going on missions in pairs or groups since Sanemi still didn't trust her*.While she didn't see the trio nearly as often, she could see improvement in their physicality and even in their combat during the rare moments they got to train.'They're all working very hard, so I'll work harder too.' y/n decided as she strolled towards the Butterfly Estate with a solemn expression beneath her mask....'I want a hug.' She thought as she neared the Estate but paused upon hearing some shouting.She strolled around the corner and immediately froze at the sight of the Sound Hashira attempting to kidnap Aoi."Y/n!" Aoi shouted upon spotting the girl who had begun to make an attempt to sneak away, "Help!"'Damn.'"Hm? Y/n?" Uzui echoed and glanced over his shoulder at y/n, "Oh! Y/n! Right on time! I was hoping I wouldn't have to go looking for you!"Y/n flinched at the sight of his smile and turned to run only to be scooped up and tucked under his arm, "Uzui-san, what-""Shinazugawa won't mind me borrowing you for a bit, right?"'Borrowing me? What does that mean?' y/n wondered, 'I have a really bad feeling about this...'Y/n couldn't care less, honestly.Usually whenever Uzui basically kidnapped her, she'd just hear him out and then leave if she had no interest in whatever he was up to.Unless it was a mission.If it was a mission, she cared.Yes. This happened often.It wasn't strange for Uzui to come out of nowhere, snatch y/n and run away.It'd actually happened before!"Y/n! Aoi! Give them back you big meanie!!!" Sumi, Kiyo and Naho cried as Kanao stood alongside them, looking worried."TF- WHO TF DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO!?" Uzui shouted at the children who all screamed and hid behind Kanao.As y/n kinda gave up, the frantic Aoi reached out for help with a, "Kanao!"Kanao was really conflicted, wanting to help but not wanting to do something wrong.'I'll decide by flipping my coin.' She thought, reaching to where the coin was safely tucked away but hesitated.A while back, the lovely Tanjiro had told her something. To follow her heart.She... she really needed to start applying that to her life. Following her heart.So, in a moment of pure instinct, Kanao ran forward and grabbed both y/n and Aoi's hands.Y/n was surprised, "Eh? Kanao?"This was new."Hey, let go. You have your orders." Uzui told her and y/n felt a little irritated.Kanao was thinking for herself, how dare he interfere with this wonderful moment.Kanao reminded silent, refusing to let go of y/n and Aoi despite being nervous asf."SAY SOMETHING, YOU PLAIN ASS BORING PERSON!" the man practically screeched.Oop."Naho! Sumi! Kiyo!" y/n shouted."Right!" the three little girls exclaimed before swarming Uzui, "CHARGEEE!!!!""HEY, CUT THAT OUT DAMN IT!" Uzui screeched as the little girls attacked him like vicious animals, "Y/N, DO SOMETHING-"Y/n was gone."Breath of Ass Kicking, Third Form!!!" y/n shouted from where she stood behind the Hashira.Oh shi-Y/n delivered a swift kick to Uzui's right knee. It hurt like hell to be honest. "KNEE SNATCHER!!!"As y/n and the small children were attacking poor Uzui, Tanjiro had noticed the commotion after returning from a mission and ran to investigate."You! Let go of the girls! Leave them alone!" Tanjiro shouted but halted, "Eh?"He found y/n clinging to Uzui's back while she practically strangled him, Naho and Sumi trying to tug Aoi from his grasp and Kiyo attempting to gouge his eyes out.'...are they... swarming him?' Tanjiro wondered, 'Wait... did he... wha???'"IT'S A KIDNAPPING! THIS MEAN OLD DUDE IS TRYING TO KIDNAP AOI-SAN AND Y/N-CHAN!!!" Kiyo cried, "HELP!""WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD YOU DAMN BRAT!?" Uzui demanded and Kiyo screamed at the top of her lungs.Out of nowhere, Tanjiro went to headbutt Uzui but he wasn't allowing it. He was gone in an instant, leaving Tanjiro to catch the three little girls before they could hit the ground."Ah, nice try Tanjiro."The boy looked up in alarm to find Uzui crouched on the roof. He still had Aoi thrown over his shoulder and y/n was tucked securely under his arm."Uzui-san here is a former shinobi and the Sound Hashira. Unless you could catch him off guard, he's not easy to hit." y/n commented, "Oi, Uzui, can you fix my mask? It's falling off.""Oh-"The Sound Hashira adjusted y/n's mask for her and she uttered a thank you."Did you really think I'd let some snot nosed brat headbutt me?" Uzui demanded, scowling down at Tanjiro."GIVE AOI-SAN AND Y/N-CHAN BACK!" Kiyo demanded, still crying."YEAH!" Sumi agreed."YOU PERV!" Naho shouted.In the back, Kanao was frantically agreeing with them by pumping her fist into the air.'Cute.' y/n thought."WHO DO YOU THINK YOU BRATS ARE MOUTHING OFF TO? SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!" Uzui shouted back down at them, "I'M YOUR SUPERIOR! A HASHIRA!""Well I don't accept you as a Hashira! Hmph!!!" Tanjiro retorted and y/n choked.'Super cute-'Uzui was screaming now, "DON'T 'hmph' ME YOU LITTLE FOREHEAD BRAT!!! ARE YOU BRAINDEAD OR SOME SHIT?! I NEED A GIRL ON THIS MISSION SO I'M BRINGING THESE WHO ALONG! THIS ONE ISN'T A SUCCESSOR SO I DON'T HAVE TO GET KOCHO'S PERMISSION!!!""What about y/n?" Tanjiro demanded, "Isn't she Shinazugawa's tsuguko?""DO YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT THAT RABID CHINCHILLA SAYS!?""Hey! Don't say that about Shinazugawa-san!" y/n protested, furious but cut off with a squeak when something hit her ass.She deadpanned.What the fuck.This ♀️🐶-THIS MF JUST SPANKED HER!!!While y/n was just shocked, Tanjiro was absolutely furious about this 🐂💩."BI-" He had to calm himself down, "LET GO OF THEM RIGHT NOW!!! I'LL GO INSTEAD OF THEM IF I MUST!"As soon as he spoke, Zenitsu and Inosuke popped up on either side of the Sound Hashira."I've just finished a mission but I'm goof to go! I can head out!" Inosuke exclaimed, "Wtf are you doing with mp/n-"Zenitsu was about to piss himself."L-L-Let go of Aoi-san and y-y/n-chan!" he stammered, nervous asf, "even if you're a muscle monster, y-y-you're not t-taking them anywhere!"Aw, how heart warming.Y/n pried herself out of Uzui's grip and nodded once, "I'll go. Just let Aoi-san stay."Uzui fixed them all with a piercing stare and y/n squeaked, tensing up.'I spoke out of line... I forgot my place! Crap, I should apologize! I screwed up-!'"Sure, that'll work." Uzui said simply.Oh.He agreed rather quickly.Just as all seemed okay, Shiori can flying out of oblivion and landed on Uzui's face, clawing at him viciously."UZUI YOU BASTARD!!! DIEEEEE!!!!""Y/N, GET YOUR 🚚ING CAT!!!""She don't bite.""YES SHE DO-"A couple minutes later, Aoi was returned safely and the four demon slayers gathered behind Uzui to see what their mission was."So, where are we going old geezer?" Inosuke demanded as y/n stood beside him, petting the huffy Shiori who had scratched up Uzui's face pretty bad.The Boar Boy had practically stuck to y/n's side since Shiori attacked, keeping a tight hold on the sleeve of her haori."To the most flamboyant place in all of Japan, filled with lust and greed." Uzui began and y/n cringed.She already didn't like this.He turned towards the group of four, "To the Red Light District, where a demon is lurking."A red light— oh no.Y/n didn't like the sound of that.

- Shiori bit Uzui in the crotch once
- Shiori definitely doesn't report back to Sanemi when shit like this happens

"What's a Red Light District?"
Both y/n and Zenitsu looked at the confused Tanjiro and Inosuke in alarm.
"Ah, well, it's that place, y'know-" Zenitsu tried to explain, face red.
"It's... erm..." y/n sighed heavily, realizing she was acting just like her Father.
He had the same reaction when she'd asked him what doing the dirty was.
"Ya'll don't know?" Shiori inquired, "It's basically a place where a bunch of-"
Y/n covered Shiori's mouth, "Ahaha.... we should let then see for themselves..."
Tanjiro and Inosuke tilted their heads.
"...?"
