A New Beginning

Family

"I will go and sell charcoal now." Giyuu said as she looked over to where Kie had been taking care of the sick Tanjuro.

It was only a small cold that he got, but his body was getting weaker and weaker that a mere cold could do much worse.

"Take more warm clothes once you go alright?" Kie gave her a worried look and Giyuu obliged, grabbing a nearby blue scarf.

"Nee-San take care and don't get sick!" Tanjiro hugged her once she got to the door. She kneeled down to gently squish the boy's cheeks.

"I should say the same thing! Don't play in the snow for too long alright?"

With the nod, The little grown up tanjiro hugged his sister. Nezuko and the youngest one, Takeo appeared from behind the door which lead to the rooms, they began to make their way to Giyuu, as she waited for the other's hugs.

Once the small but warm grouphug was over Giyuu took the path down the mountain as she began to think about the events that had happened.

Thanks to the Kusogai crows she was able to send some letters to Makomo. Though it took a little longer than expected.

In her letters she talked about how proud Urokodaki-San was of her and how thankful he also was for Giyuu's help. Though she didn't  need it, he was his master a long time ago, it was by him that he got to learn more.

"And if you could one day visit us and train with Sabito, it would be nice since the boy needs to learn from his senpai's fufu."

She could just imagine how hard Sabito must be training after hearing about a girl being stronger than her.

Giyuu had tried to reach out for the other members that had made it out alive, but to no avail. She didn't know as to where they were located, and it would be weird for them to get a strangers message saying they want to be their friends.

She will have to just find them in possible joint missions.

So instead she waited and began to improve in her house skills. Giyuu never took care of the water state and Urokodaki would have killed him if he ever knew that, so she had started to learn with Kie.  She also practiced her swordsmanship skills to kill time after selling all of the charcoal.

Modifying her water breathing techniques with the Hinokami Kagura. Since she was able to see the dance as a way to see the similarities in them, she tought about new moves which could help her improve.

In her conclusion, they made certain attacks stronger and far harder to handle, especially the constant flux.

She also still needed to practise the ability Tanjuro had tought her.

It had already passed 20 days. The longest were said to be 15 so she was worried.

Was the ore I gave too hard?

Her walk to the village was tranquil as it could get during the snow walks, there was nothing out of the ordinary and just as evening was arriving she had already sold all of the charcoal.

"Hey, you."

Giyuu was cought off guard by the new guy who came to the small village, she was confused for a second before regaining her posture and recognizing the usual mask that all of the forgemasters from the swordsmith's village wore. He looked to be just around Tanjuro's height, wearing a large woven hat that hung a floral wind chimes, his robes designed with sunflowers, as the head was also wrapped by a dot pattern clothing.

"Are you Tomioka Giyuu?"

"Yes." The blacksmith was finally here.

Giyuu gave a goodbye to the shopkeeper as she paid him before guiding him to the house, until she saw him bowing down and taking out the sword in that instant, getting weird looks from the shopkeeper.
