After Muichiro and I had lunch together I went to find Tanjiro and Kotetsu, I tried my hardest to convince the mist pillar to apologize to the small swordsmith but he wouldn't budge, he eventually forgot he even slapped Kotetsu. I spotted the two where I had last seen them, where Yorrichi Type Zero was, I really thought of that broken-down doll as a demon.

"SOMETHING CAME OUT! LOOK KOTETSU!! WHAT IS IT??"

"I DON'T KNOW?! WHAT IS IT??"

Their sudden yelling hurt my eardrums, as I got closer I saw the two in a.. position.. what the hell??

"Tanjiro! Kotetsu!!" I called out

"Y/n!! Look what we found!" He pointed to the shattered doll. A hilt of a sword was poking out of where its neck used to be. I will never forget that half-shattered face. I'm definitely not sleeping tonight.

I had a questioning look on my face, tilting my head trying to figure out if this is the treasure Kanroji and the swordsmiths were talking about. "How old is that sword..?"

"It has to be 300 years old or something!" Tanjiro shouted out, "I can't stop getting excited!"

"Maybe this is the treasure Kanroji was talking about, how cool!" To be honest, I was getting excited too, a 300-year-old blade from the Sengoku era! who wouldn't get excited?!

"T-Tanjiro," Kotetsu stuttered "I want you to have the blade!" he finished.

"No! No! No! I can't! You should have it!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

They started fighting back in forth about who would get the blade. I'm jealous! I want a cool 300-year-old blade. The Sengoku era was the prime of swordsmiths, the weapons that were created are all one-of-a-kind, I really want one.

I went over to the broken doll and pulled it out.

"Tanjiro you should unsheath it!" I was getting anxious to see the blade, so I handed it to him.. more like throwing it.

I kneeled down in front of the two, ready to see him unsheathe it, he pulled it out of the scabbard, but what we saw crushed my spirits.

"IT'S RUSTED?!" My jaw dropped to the floor, we were all defeated.

"It's been 300 years, with no one touching the blade it was sure to be rusted. Sorry for getting you guys all worked up over nothing." Kotetsu lowered his head, sounding very disappointed

"No, it's okay don't apologize! Right, Tanjiro?" I looked over to the sun child and as he showed his face, there were obvious tears.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." His voice was wobbly, I laughed as Kotetsu tried to calm the wave of tears splurging out of his eyes.

I heard rustling behind us. It was faint. I turned around, waiting for something to come out of the woods. It got closer, and the boys noticed. I was ready to attack until I saw a red mask. It was no doubt a swordsmith, so I took my hands off the hilt of my blade. If there was a demon here, that'd be bad news.

"What the?!" Tanjiro peeped out.

"Oh! Haganezuka!" Kotetsu said.

This swordsmith, whom Kotetsu called Haganezuka, was Tanjiro's swordsmith. He strode over, he was shirtless for some reason, and he had a ton of muscle, jeez. He tried taking the sword from Tanjiro saying he heard everything and to leave it to him. The three boys got into a fight over the sword yelling and screaming as I watched with dotted eyes.

I heard another voice. "Just tickle him on his sides! It's his weak spot!" Haganezuka fell to the ground, not even moving! I bit back a laugh.

"Kanamori-san!" Tanjiro called out. So this is Kanamori, I should tell him Muichiro is looking for him.

After the boys got done with their fight, I finally got to talk to kanamori.

"Hello, L/n-dono. How can I help you?"

"Good evening Kanamori! You know Muichiro right?" I questioned

"Ah Yes, Tokito-dono. I am his new swordsmith."

"Oh great! He's been looking for you for a while, he tends to forget what he's doing so I thought I'd try and help him find you!" I spoke with a sweet smile

"Are you his girlfriend or something?" He asked with his head tilted.

"Huh..? What?..."

I processed what he had just said. "NO! HE AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS! YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG IDEA!!" I rushed that sentence out, my face no doubt red as hell.

I just heard laughter behind his mask. How embarrassing.

"Well, I am almost finished with his new sword. You can tell him that."

"Oh, Alright! Thank you Kanamori, He'll be delighted to hear that!"

"How do you like your new sword? Masamune overworked himself just for you!" He chuckled.

"It's great! Way better than my old sword he really did an amazing job!" I beamed

"Wonderful!" He clapped his hands together, I could tell there was a smile behind his mask.

"Good day then, Kanamori!" I bowed and he returned it

"Going to find Tokito-dono?" He cooed

"Actually, yes.." A shy smile spread across my face and I waved him goodbye

I started to look around for Muichiro, I want to ease his mind about Kanamori. Usually, Ginko his crow is loud as hell so wherever I hear her he's definitely near. I continued on the path till I spotted something. I back up a bit and saw a pot, maybe it was someone's but this is an odd place to leave it. I didn't touch it in case I disturbed someone by doing so. I kept walking till I heard Ginko, I could recognize her dumb bird noises.

"Muichiro? Muichiro!" I called out hoping he would respond.

"Over here," I turned to the voice, "Y/n!" Muichiro called out.

He was sitting with his back against a tree, waving at me, I walked over to him.

"Muichiro! Hi!" I smiled and sat down next to him.

Ginko was in his lap. He was playing with her. That's why I could hear her loud ass.

"Muichiro," I said, clear excitement in my voice, his eyes meeting mine.

"Hm?" He said, waiting for me to talk

"I found Kanamori for you!" I exclaimed

"Oh? Kanamori, that's right.. Did he say anything?" He asked

"Mhm! He said that your sword will be done soon and that's really all he told me." I explained

A small smile tugged at his lips, "Oh, that's good I kept forgetting I had to talk to him. Thank you for finding him, Y/n."

"Of course, that's what friends are for, am I right?" I bring my knees up to my chest and folded my arms resting them on top of my knees, I lie my head on top of my arms and had a bright closed-eyed smile on my face.

Once I opened my eyes, still smiling. I saw Muichiros's face, his mouth agape and his eyes slightly widened. A pink hue dusted his cheeks, or maybe it did, I think my mind is playing tricks on me. He had said something under his breath, I didn't catch it.

"What'd you say?" I raised my brow

His voice became audible, "You're beautiful.."

I froze. Did he really just say that? Wait, no my mind is being silly. Do my ears deceive me? I would be lying if I said I wasn't panicking. From Muichiro's perspective, It looked like I had just seen god and eaten a red pepper.

"Wha.." I managed to mutter out

He realized what he had said, "Ah, sorry.." Turning his head the other way.

I just faced forward trying to calm myself down. Is it just me or is it starting to get incredibly hot? I turned my gaze back to Muichiro, his head was still turned his knees also up to his chest with one hand on the grass and the other resting on his knee.

'This is a stupid idea,' I thought as something popped into my head.

I layed my hand down in the grass, inching closer to his. I was starting to get nervous, almost chickening out last second. I shoved my thoughts down, finally getting close enough so we were touching.. barely. It was just my pinkie crossing over his, but I felt my soul leaving my body.

"Thank you." I whispered

A small pause, "If you wanted to hold my hand you could've said so." He grabbed my whole hand, intertwining our fingers.

If I spoke now, I would stutter a million times and embarrass myself. So instead of speaking, I squeezed his hand, assuring that I heard him.

"Y/n," He breathed out

"Mm?" I hummed

"I have an unwell feeling, as though something bad is going to happen," He squeezed my hand

"Something bad? Speaking of, on my way here I saw a random pot off the path. I decided not to touch it in case it was somebody's, but it was quite the odd place to leave it there." I informed him

"The villagers have been saying swordsmiths are going missing. Do you think it's a demon?" Muichiro questioned

"It would be the most logical answer, though that would be bad if a demon found its way into the village." I paused, "but even if it is.. I'll.. I'll be with you to protect these people." I looked up at him as another smile spread on my face

"I would enjoy fighting with you by my side Y/n, always." His minty green eyes stared into my soul, I found myself getting lost in them again.

I realized I was staring and shook myself out of it, feeling heat rise to my cheeks. I rested my head on his shoulder, and a wave of tiredness hit me. He responded by resting his head on mine, our fingers still intertwined. My eyes felt droopy, and before I knew it, I was asleep. Tokito Muichiro, I've fallen too hard for you.
