"I promise, I'll take great care of her, no matter what it costs"

===============================

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, is the droplets of sunlight, escaping from the gaps between leaves of the tree outside the window

It took me a bit of time for have my eyes focused

A wave of summer breeze brushed against my cheek softly, as I stared at the celling, my brain still malfunctioning as I seem to not be able to work out what's happening

Am I dead?

The last thing I remember, is placing the blade on my neck upon feeling myself slowly being turned into a demon, and that was it, everything else after that is completely blank

Looking around, I realised that the room is rather empty, just me

I pushed my body up from the bed, only caused me to groan at how stiff it became

I must've been in that position for days, because at first, I couldn't properly move my body at all, it felt so foreign

With the support of everything around me, bed, shelves, walls, I managed to get my body back into action

Just as I am planning to go out of the room and wonder a little, the door slammed open

Key word: Slammed

I flinched due to the loud noise made by the wood hitting the wall, and before I could even turn around, multiple body embraced me into a group hug

"Ouch"

The suddenly pressure applied onto me is slightly bit uncomfortable, but the discomfort disappeared immediately when I see who it was

Muichiro

Mitsuri

Kyojuro

Tengen

"Calm down will you all? Such kids"

Knowing perfectly well who this jokingly insulting voice belongs to, I looked up as more people entered through the door

Giyu

Sanemi

Obanai

Gyomei

Shinobu

And..... Urokodaki-sensei

The amount of people that appeared in the used to be empty room definitely overwhelmed me by quite a bit, not sure how to react, I slowly went back to sitting on the bed, under everyone's intense gaze

Unable to deal with the awkward silence anymore, I cleared my throat pre-warning them that I am going to speak up

But a glass of water is presented in front of me before I could even project a single sound

Looking at the direction where the water is given, I see Muichiro, and the corner of my lips uncontrollably curled upwards

Accepting the cup of water, I carefully start to take sips from it, and trust me it wasn't until the water actually slides down my throat did I realised how dehydrated I am

By the time I am sure that I can speak without having voice cracks, I cleared my throat once more and it felt much more comfortable this time

"So... what are you all staring at?"
