I blink a few times with wide eyes as I watch him walk away with his crow on his shoulder. I decided to train a bit in the training room for my estate. I changed into a light shirt and some shorts and grabbed my nichirin blade. I walked into the room and saw a few wooden dummies set up for me. I decided to perfect my tenth for since I did just create it in mid battle. I took an offensive stance and was about to strike the dummy when I heard another annoying knock on the door. I annoyingly walked to the door and saw Kiriya. It turns out that he wanted to personally deliver my next mission which I will accompany the Flame pillar and three lower rank demon slayers. I thanked him and went back to training for a few hours. The next day, I felt something or someone flick the top of my forehead. I opened my eyes to see a boy with black to mint haired tips. I feel like I've met him before but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Wake up, we have a mission together don't we?" the boy said staring in my eyes.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" I asked Tilting my head a bit.

Muichiro's POV

I just stared at Y/N with a blank stare at how she forgot about me already. Well it's understandable since we didn't really talk much yesterday.

"Well are you going to leave so I can change?" Y/N said with a dead stare.

I blushed and ran out of the room slamming the door shut. I waited for a while outside until Y/N joined me outside.

"Oh you're still here" she said staring into the horizon.

I closed my eyes in response and we started walking towards the train station where we went to get our tickets. Once we boarded the train we heard the Flame Hashira eating very loudly for my liking. Y/N and I took a seat next to each other waiting for the train to depart. I was lost in thought for a while until I felt a weight on my shoulder. My gaze fell over the (H/c) haired girl sleeping soundly on my shoulder as a pillow. I felt heat rising to my cheeks, making my cheeks go to a pale beige to strawberry pink. I tried to put her head on her seat and got up to leave but she held my wrist until I heard her mutter..."Please don't go" pulling me closer to her. I didn't resist and lay down next to her, putting my arm around her waist in a protective form, as I put my head in the crook of her neck. Almost as if I was protecting her from something or someone. My eyes suddenly felt sleepy and heavy as I closed them. A few minutes later, I felt the warmth next to me leave so I opened my eyes to Y/N staring at the trio of lower ranked demon slayers. I saw the boy from the Hashira meeting with his box on his back. I stood up from my sleeping state and walked behind Y/N and put my arms around her waist protectively and layed my chin on top of her head.
