“Y/N, YOU SHOULD REST NOW” it's already past midnight and you're still up, you're on their veranda still wearing your demon slayer uniform, but the haori is already hanging inside the room that they lend you

“demons only attacks at night, i can't rest, my mission is to protect you and kill demons.” kakucho sighed but nodded at you, he just met you but he can see that you're not the type of person who easily trust anyone

“but you won't be able to protect us if you won't get any sleep, because that's very unhealthy” you glance at him for a second before returning your stare at the full white moon

“i'll sleep when the sun already rise up” that's what you're doing when you're on a mission, you will stay up all night, from 5:00 pm to 5:00 am, you can only sleep at day

“hmm, i'm afraid you can't really stay up all night because you're coming with us tomorrow” he said as he yawned

“to where?” you asked

“to our workplace, we often work until evening so you have to come with us, incase that there's a demon that will attack us while making our way home, you can protect us” you didn't answer, you hate the fact that you have to come everywhere they will go, you're like a bodyguard now

“fine.” he smiled at you, but you didn't returned that. he just accepted the fact that you're always grumpy and doesn't know how to smile, because you really don't know how to.

he closed the door in the veranda before taking you to your room, you just nodded at him before going inside and closing the door.

you were kinda uncomfortable to the bed because on your estate, you're using tatami mat, no bed just tatami mat. you change your clothes before deciding to sleep, still not letting your guard down.

“kaburamaru be my guard for the night” the snake hissed

YOU PLACED YOUR NICHIRIN SWORD on your hips, while fixing the necktie of your tuxedo, you saw the tuxedo inside the closet. you chose not to wear your demon slayer uniform because people will definitely find you weird and you'll gain attentions. you wear the tuxedo because you're sure that bonten's workplace is a company

you heard a faint knock on the door, you brushed your hair and fixed your bandage on the lower part of your face, kaburamaru make its way to your neck. you walked towards the door to open it

“woah, breakfast is ready” kokonoi is a bit surprise seeing you wearing a tuxedo, how can a tuxedo fit so perfectly on a girl? you just nodded and followed him to the kitchen

“does my attire match your workplace?” kokonoi slightly flinched at your voice, it was cold, calm but harsh, you were behind him while walking.

“ah, yes. it does” you didn't answer, upon reaching the dining room, you gained everyone's attention, like kokonoi, they're shock seeing a girl looks so perfect in a suit

“come on, sit down. let's eat” you sat beside takeomi, mikey is on the center, ran is in your front, beside him is rindou who's still frowning at you, beside rindou is sanzu, kokonoi sat beside takeomi, kakucho is just beside koko, mochi sat on the other center

everyone starts filling their plates with foods, you place a little amount of food on your plate. everyone starts eating, but they're actually waiting for you to remove your bandage so they can see your face

but they became confuse when you didn't touch the foods on your plate, you're just starring at it. ran cleared his throat before speaking

“eat now, we can't be late” the others nodded, agreeing at ran. you look at them before nodding your head, they became nervous when they thought you'll finally remove your bandage

“damn it, is she pretty behind those bandage?” sanzu thought

but to they dismay, you feed your snake instead of yourself. feeling their stares, you once again glanced at them and raised your brow, they cleared their throats before continued eating

“aren't you gonna eat, y/n?” you can sense the concern on kakucho's voice, you just shake your head

“i have a very small appetite. i can go three days without food” their jaw dropped at that information, it's true, unlike mitsuri who loves food, you're the opposite, you're eating but just small amount of food. sometimes you'll forgot eating

“does that pet of yours have a name?” takeomi couldn't stop himself from asking, he flinched slightly when kaburamaru showed his fangs and tongue to him

“it's a friend of mine. he's kaburamaru, my other eye” kaburamaru crawled from your neck down to your arms, everyone's eyes grew wide when kaburamaru crawled on his way on the table, he stopped at the front of kakucho

kakucho gasps and stiffened when kaburamaru crawled on his arm, up to his neck, there kaburamaru settled while hissing. everyone stared at you, waiting for explanation

“ah, that just simply means kaburamaru likes you. he likes what i like” kakucho feel honored by what he heard, while the others felt a little jealousy towards the man

“anyway, what do you mean by kaburamaru is your eye?” rindou asked, he wants to know everything about you because he don't trust you. after kakucho feed kaburamaru, your snake friend crawled back to you, settling on your neck

“my left eye is blind” you pointed your left eye, the color yellow one. kakucho is sure surprised by that, for he has a blind eye too

"y/n, why don't you tell us about yourself more?” everyone looked at mikey, they waited for your response, your face is just neutral so they can't really tell what you're thinking

“is that an order?”

“it is.”
