Shinobu raised her hand,
"Okay then, let us take care of Kamado-Chan at my place"
"Huh?" Nezuko just looked confused,
"Okay, Take her away!" Shinobu then clapped her hands. One of the Kakushi came and grabbed Nezuko and ran away,
"Excuse us for before!!" He shouted out as he was running away.

The two Kakushi (one was carrying Tanjiro's box and the other was carrying Nezuko), Nezuko and Tanjiro arrived at a big house known as the Butterfly Estate. They where currently standing at the front door inside of the estate,
"Pardon the intrusion. Par... looks like nobody's coming out at all" the Kakushi carrying Nezuko sweat dropped.

"But I don't think we should just go in"
"Maybe we can go around to the garden?" The other Kakushi suggested.

✧*。—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-✧*。

"Can't you walk by yourself?" The Kakushi grumbled,
"I'm sorry, my whole body just hurts a lot, like a lot..."
"Whatever Grandma" the other Kakushi then noticed someone,
"Ah, there is someone"
"That's um... oh right! Its a tsuguko!".

Nezuko was confused,
"What's a tsuguko?"
"She's a tsuguko. Her name is Kanao Tsuyuri" in front of the trio was a girl a year or two older than Nezuko, who also wore a butterfly hair ornament and had s butterfly resting on her finger.

"The hashira personally look after the tsuguko. She wouldn't have been chosen if she didn't have considerable talent nor excellent standing. She's a girl, but she's amazing" Nezuko then finally realized something,
'It's the girl from the final selection!'.

The Kakushi carrying Tanjiro's box walked up to Kanao,
"We came under Kocho-Samas orders. Can we enter the estate?" Kanao just stared at the Kakushi,
"Can... we?" Kanao just continued to smile, while the Kakushi started to panic,
"We can right...? Uhm... eeh...".

"WHO ARE YOU!!" A voice shouted from behind them, the trio turned around to face the girl who had just arrived. She had pigtails and also had two butterfly hair ornament in her hair. The Kakushi started panicking even more,
"No, uhh..."
"Kocho-Sama..." the blue eyed girl interrupted them,
"Are you Kakushi? She's hurt, right? Come over here".

She then turned around and started walking. The kakushi followed and Nezuko turned her head to look at Kanao who was watching them all leave with a smile on her face.

"FIVE TIMES?! I HAVE TO DRINK THIS FIVE TIMES A DAY?!" Zenitsu was currently crying,
"AND KEEP THAT UP FOR THREE MONTHS?! I'LL BE TOO FULL TO EAT! IT'S SUPER BITTER! AND THICK! JUST TAKING MEDICINE WILL HEAL MY ARMS AND LEGS? REALLY?!".

A younger girl was by Zenitsu's bed trying to calm him down,
"Please be quiieeet"
"SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BETTER! WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A DOSE?! TELL ME!"
"That guy's still being noisy..." the blue eyed girl stormed into the room,
"Zenitsu...!!" Nezuko looked glad to see that her friend was fine,
"PLEASE BE QUIET!!" The girl shouted at Zenitsu.

"I'VE EXPLAINED THIS TO YOU COUNTLESS TIMES ALREADY! I'LL TIE YOU UP IF YOU DON'T KNOCK IT OFF!"
"Oh my goodness..." she then walked off with the young girl following behind her. Zenitsu then hid himself underneath his cover,
"Zenitsu!!" Nezuko called out to him.

The Kakushi moved towards Zenitsu bed,
"You okay?! Are you hurt?! You went into the mountains and ended up here...!!"
"Ne...Nezuko-Chan..." Zenitsu suddenly clinged onto the Kakushi who was carrying Nezuko,
"WAAAAAAHHH! NEZUKO-CHAN! LISTEN! YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT! I GOT STABBED BY THIS STINKY SPIDER, SO I WAS IN A LOTTA PAIN DUE TO THE POISOOOOON! AND THAT GIRL'S BEEN NAGGING AT ME AND GETTING MAD AT ME, SO IT SUCKS SO MUUUUUUCH!" Said girl turned around and glared at Zenitsu.

Nezuko looked concerned,
"And Inosuke and Y/n? Did you also see Murata-San?"
"Leave me alone for a bit... I have nothing to do with this..." the Kakushi grumbled, clearly very annoyed at Zenitsu clinging onto him,
"I dunno who Murata is, but Inosuke and Y/n are right here" Nezuko looked towards Inosuke and Y/n.

Inosuke was just laying on his back looking depressed while Y/n was laying on their side asleep. Nezuko fell onto Zenitsu's bed,
"Oh! I didn't notice"
"Inosuke! I'm glad you and Y/n are okay! I'm so sorry I couldn't help you!" Inosuke just stayed silent for a moment,
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Inosuke's voice sounded strange and deeper,
'?! His voice... is that... even Inosuke?!'.

Zenitsu had now properly sat up,
"Apparently, his throat got crushed or something"
"WHAAAT?!"
"I dunno the details, but I hear his neck got like really smushed. So then in the end, he let out a really loud scream, but that clinched it, so now his throat's messed up bad"
"He hurt himself?" Nezuko questioned,
"So he's depressed and he mellowed out a lot. It's extremely funny for some reason. Wee Hee Hee!"
"Why are you laughing like a weirdo? What happened?".

It was later on in the day, and Y/n was the only one left in the room. Everyone had left to go eat food, and Y/n had only just woke up and was reading a book,
"Ah! Y/n! It's nice to see you again!" Y/n turned to the door and smiled,
"Hello Kyojuro" the flame hashira returned the younger slayers smile.
