POISONED LOVE • 𝐄𝐍𝐌𝐔

I snicker as I get to the entrance before the three, in about 5 minutes they get there.

"What took you so long slow pokes?!" I laugh as tanjiro and zenitsu look at me shocked. Yeah I'm the clumsiest hashira but I'm still a hashira! Running that fast is easy for me, it was part of my training!

"Fight me!" Inosuke exclaims suddenly as he takes out his swords. I smile blankly at him before glaring at him, a smile still playing on my lips.

He lets out a sound of complaint before putting his swords away.

I chuckle as I put a hand on my hip and look at the three boys blankly before glaring at them, zenitsu shrieks as he hides behind tanjiro.

"If any of you tell anyone about enmu I will personally strangle you and make sure nobody even notices your gone" I smile innocently at them as the glare in my eyes still remains.

The theee nods as I clap my hands together happily. "Great! Well, let's go!" I cheer as I tilt my head and stick my tongue out playfully.

I head towards the poison estate as I offer them to stay for today, since I would feel bad making them walk all the way over to the butterfly estate. They agree as they have a quick meal before heading towards the clinics room, which has beds they can sleep on. I had refused to have people helping me here as nobody stays here anyways and it would be a waste of time. Once a week a cleaning crew comes around and cleans my entire estate but nobody stays here permanently.

I wait until 9:00 before deciding I'll go get rengoku. I sigh as I leave a note, informing them I will be heading to rengoku's house to get him so we can report how our mission went.

I head towards their rooms as I put the note on the desk next to tanjiro and leave.

I hum a random tune as I walk towards rengokus house, while he has an entire estate he stays with his family, quiet honorable if you ask me.

My family is dead lol, I'm dead serious. Like my family- Also did I just say 'lol' in my head? Wait why the fuck am I talking to myself. Oh my god maybe I should get a therapist... nah.

I shake my head as I roll my eyes at my childish thoughts going through my mind, I glance up and notice I'm already there.

I walk towards the door and knock, being met with rengoku who has a joyous smile on his face.

"Y/n! You're back already!!" Rengoku exclaims as I grin at him and nod.

"Yup! Anywho, let's go report our mission to master! I do need to ask master permission about... you know what, before letting him stay!" I laugh as rengoku chuckles before nodding.

"Senjuro! I'm going out to report my mission to master now!" Rengoku yells as senjuro comes around the corner and runs towards rengoku.

"Alright brother! Oh- hello y/n-sama!!" Senjuro greets as I wave at him with a smile on my face.

"Greetings! it was nice seeing you Senjuro, though me and rengoku should get going now! I hope to see you again soon!" I explain as Senjuro nods before running back off somewhere.

Rengoku laughs as he steps outside and closes the door behind him.

As we head towards masters estate rengoku questions me about enmu. I explained the deal we made, rengoku seems to understand as he stopped asking questions.

I sit down on a boulder that was there as I swing my legs back and fourth. Rengoku kneels down on the rocks next to me as the girls who were currently standing there looked at us before going back through a door.

"Those two are creepy..." i mutter as I shiver goes down my spine, the twins were always creepy to me. They remind me of a porcelain doll, no emotion behind those eyes.

Rengoku laughs as I smile at him before looking up at the sky.

"Seems it going to rain... maybe if the sun isn't out I can take enmu to meet everyone! Of course, if master allows it in the first place..." i mutter the last part as rengoku looks up at me sympathetic.

"Don't worry! I trust that master will understand and allow him to stay!" Rengoku comforts as I smile at him before looking back towards the platform to see the two girls helping master come in. I immediately get down on the small pebbles and bow, rengoku did the same.

"The master of the mansion has returned" the doll-like girls state as master sits down.

"My beloved children, im glad you have returned safe." Master states as me and rengoku stay bowing.

"How had the mission gone? I do hope it went well." Master questions as me and rengoku rise to look at him.

I glance at rengoku nervously as he gives me a thumbs up.

I exhale nervously before talking, "well, there was a lowermoon there. Lowermoon 1 to be exact... I made a deal with him though! He promised to to harm anybody unless I say it's okay! He's currently resting in the poison estate, if he does hurt a human without my permission I will slay him and then atone by commiting seppuko." I explain as master doesn't respond which makes me fidget nervously.

"I also will commit seppuko if he does." Rengoku suddenly states which makes my eyes widen as I glance over to him, he smiles as me as tears fill my eyes and I smile back at him.

"Thank you..." i mutter as master suddenly clears his throat making our attention snap back to him.

"While it is hard to believe... I will allow lowermoon 1 to stay here under the protection of the poison hashira, y/n l/n. If he does hurt a human without her permission then both l/n and rengoku will commit seppuko." Master states as a smile graces his features.

"Thank you so much master!" I exclaim as I bow, he smiles as he stands up with the help of the twins.

"There will be a hashira meeting explaining this when the sun sets, allowing them to actually meet the lowermoon." Master explains before leaving.

"Thank you so much rengoku!!!" I exclaims as I hug him, he smiles as he runs a hand through my hair like a sibling would.

"Of course, you're like my little sister after all!" He says as I giggle before letting him go.

"Well, let's go tell the others the good news!" I cheer as I run back towards my estate, rengoku chuckles as he follows behind.
