"Eno Miku,

I am sorry that I don't send letters all that often. But I will be visiting soon in a few days. I hope this letter reaches you before I visit so you're not too surprised at my arrival.

Until then, mom.

(L/n) (Y/n)"

"When exactly are you going to see her?" Sekido asks, folding up the letter he wrote for you.

"I have this feeling that... Tanjiro will want me to go with him to the village soon." You hum, "Even if he doesn't ask, you and I will be going anyway in 3 days."

"Ah, okay," Sekido ties the paper around Tu Cielito's leg, "So um... how are you feeling-"

"-I'm going to train with 'Nemi," You stand up, already walking to leave the room.

You're not going to talk about it. Sekido was the one who took the initiative to make you move out of Kyojuro's place. If Sekido knew you were this close to falling off the deep end, he'd probably take the initiative to send you home.

"We'll be back soon," You said, "Don't be mean to Damien while we're gone."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Sanemi rolls his eyes.

"Who's Damien?" Tanjiro asks with a smile.

You and Sanemi share a look.

"No one."

"Who?"

Tanjiro sighs in defeat.

"Anyway," Sanemi shakes his head, "where are you two going?"

Tanjiro had shown up at Sanemi's Estate with two kakushi with him. After you both sobbed in joy from finally seeing each other again after months, Tanjiro invited you (and Sekido) to accompany him to the swordsmith village.

He'd broken his sword during his fight with Upper Moon 5, and Kyojuro had gifted him a matching flame hand-guard, anyway.

"It's a super-secret," You smile, "It's um... plot, I guess."

The Hashira nods in understanding, "Ah, okay."

Tanjiro leans forward, "What does plot mean?"

"Let's go, Tanjiro!" You clap your hands together, "I can't wait to spend time with you!"

"..."

"..."

"Oh."

Tanjiro's face bursts into red while a stupid grin takes his features. He grabs your hand and pulls you towards the kakushi.

"Y-YEAH!! LET'S [fucking] GOOOO!!!"

————

"But I think it might be a good look on me," Tanjiro says, "What's wrong with all black clothing?"

"Well, some people might say that all black clothing will make you look like an evil villain," You grin, "Not me though; I think you'll look like a sexy motorcycle-vroom!"

Tanjiro's cheeks heat up at the word 'sexy,' but he had no idea what your compliment meant.

"What's a motorcycle?" Tanjiro asks with an embarrassed smile.
