As soon as I turned around and made my way to Tokyo, I heard all their voices disappearing

1.

I can no longer hear their voices. I am far away from them...the only thing that was still on my side was my parrot, Hiroto.

"Hiroto, would you still deliver my letters if I will give it to you?" I asked to my bird as I looked over my shoulder

"Of course I will!" He said back to me. I continued walking to my destination, not even feeling weak at the moment.

---

As we reached my destination in the night time and my parrot went back to the headquarters, I was met with a wall. A...wall? Could this be a-

I used my demon senses and tried to sense anyone around me...there is a demon behind me.

"Hello, you're the one named Akari right? Just like the crow described you?" A male voice said as I turned around.

"Yep, you're probably Yushiro" I said and shaked his hands

"Don't touch me- okay whatever just follow me" Yushiro guided me to the wall and just walked passed through it. I did the same and I really did passed through the wall.

I saw a big house standing infront of me

"Come on" he angrily said "Don't disrespect my master once you enter, got it?!" He whisper-shouted at me

"I know" I said. He opened the door just to see a smiling woman infront of us. "Ohayo Guzaimasu, you are probably Tamayo-sama" I said politely and bowed at her

"Ohayo, and you are Akari right?" I nodded at her "Come on, let's talk about something" she said and stood up

Me and Yushiro went to follow her and she have lead us to a room.

We sat on the floor, Yushiro and Tamayo sitting next to each other and I am across them.

"I have learned that you knew about your real past" she quietly said "I have been waiting you for a long time, Akari Kibutsuji."

I looked down at the ground, feeling uneasy being called as a Kibutsuji.

"Are...you okay?" She asked me

"I'm fine...just...continue talking" I said and Yushiro almost snapped his anger but Tamayo stopped him

"Ubayashiki have told me that you have left the demon slaying corps to team up with me, is that right?" She said as she looked at me with a relaxed face. I nodded and she sighed "But why did you do that?"

"To save my loves ones" I said

"Save?"

"My creator have given me a lot of red flags that the demons will come and take me. So to take my loved ones away from the situation, I had to quit the corps" I said slowly but surely

"THEN WHY DID YOU COME HERE-"

"Yushiro."

"Sorry."

"So...you came here to save your loved ones?" She asked and I nodded

"But...it feels like a burden that I might take you both in my situation..." I said and looked down

"It's fine, you are welcomed here" She said and smiled

---

It had been few days that I was staying in their place. The only things that I can do is:

Help Tamayo-sama in her clinic, walk around and give letters to the so-called 'The Crystal Orphanage'.

Sometimes Yushiro will follow me because he thought that I am gonna 'betray' them. It's kinda annoying but I'm getting used to it.

"Your annoying parrot is here" Yushiro angrily said to me

"Oi! I'm not annoying! You're annoying-CAAAHH CAHHHHHH HELP ME!!" Yushiro is now choking my bird

I took my bird away from him "Can you not?" I said

"It's his fault anyways" Yushiro scoffed and walked away

"Jeez, by the way is that a letter from the crystal orphanage?" I asked

"It's from Mika" he said and I removed the letter from his neck. Before opening it, I patted my bird's head.

•===•

Dear Akari-san,
    
   It have only been a few days but we miss you here already...do you miss me?
    
   Also the other crystal hashira is kinda good but I'm not used to talk to him because...eh.

    I don't have anything else to say but I really do miss you, I miss you talking with me...I miss you taking me to an Ohagi store even though I don't like it...I miss you hugging me...I miss everything that you do here.

   Please be safe there always

~Sincerely, Hayashi Mika.

•==•

I smiled and hugged the letter I miss you too and everyone too...

I went to my table and wrote a letter for her too.

•==•

Dear Mika,

   I miss you too ya'know and I know that you and Masaru are probably fighting there without me, please stop.

   I will probably visit you there only a few times so I'm really sorry about it but hey, at least you will get to see me

   Be safe there too

~Sincerely, Akari.

•===•

I folded the paper and fixed it unto my bird leg. "Here we go, please be safe too" I patted his head once again before he flew away

I watched my bird fly away until he is out of my sight. I sighed and felt like going to Tamayo-sama's clinic so I went there.

"Do you need any help Tamayo-sama?" I asked

"No, but I need to your blood, I wanted to look what's in it" I nodded at her and sat beside her

She quietly took a sample of my blood and examine it.

After a few hours of examining it her eyes widened

"What...are these? The blood...is different...it has a mix of...Muzan's blood...A human Blood and...a chemical that I can't even find out..." she said surprise

"According to him, he have given me a chemical through my blood that makes me a wild-monstrous kind of demon" I explained

"You really are something..."
