Chapter 14: Stay safe

Finally, the two were peacefully together and were a happy couple. Y/N loved annoying Haganezuka during his work, becoming a habit of hers. As she was laying on one of his chairs,

"MESSAGE FOR GAWWWWKKK!"

"I tell you, you're seriously too loud."

She grabs the letter and reads the content. A sigh left her lips and she looks back at the broad shoulders of a man concentrating on the blades.

"Hotaru?"

"Yeah?"

"I need to leave. There's a demon outbreak and I've been summoned. I'm not sure if I can be back so soon."

His hands stopped hammering the metal and he turns around with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Is it that bad?"

"Yeah. All the pillars are sent and they need me there. It seems like it's a group of upper moons together."

Haganezuka walks to her, hugging her tightly.

"Please come back safe, okay?"

She started giggling and he raises an eyebrow.

"I wouldn't have imagined you to be so sweet when we first met!!"

"You don't want me to be sweet? I can comply with that."

"No, no. Be sweet to me."

She pecks him on the cheek and waves goodbye to him, making her way to the demon scene. He watched her small body slowly disappear and his heart clenched with worry. Kanamori snickers as he passes by the house to see him staring into the unknown.

"Y/N's a strong woman. She'll come back, you love-sick idiot."

"I'm not an idiot."

"Hmm... says the guy that ignored her because his 'inner beast' couldn't handle her being around."

"Shut up!"

Haganezuka slams the door and goes back to work, eyes peering at the seat she was once lazing on. He really did hope she would come back soon, safe for him to engulf her in a tight hug. Then, the realisation hit him.

"I DID NOT KISS HER ON HER LIPS!! NOOOOOO!"

He was as loud as ever. Anyone outside his house could clearly hear him scream in agony over not kissing her properly.

Y/N rushed to the scene, already seeing some pillars fighting some upper moon. It was odd that they assembled all together and did not seem as strong as she would have thought. However, the upper moons had easily a few hundred minions by their side fighting to kill the demon slayers. She was hit on her side, flying towards a tree. Uzui shouts,

"Y/N!!"

She smirked. This was nothing compared to the demon she faced long ago.

"Astro Breathing, First form: Nebula Star Smash!"

Her body swung pass all the minions that were running towards her, their bodies frozen at a state of shock. In just a second, their bodies broke down and she continues to walks off to kill more demons. The demons weren't strong but they were definitely exhausting to handle because they somehow kept multiplying. Even the pillars were confused. A simple slash from their sword would kill a couple, even if they were just sitting. But, the demons kept appearing.

"Giyuu, why the hell are there this many demons? They're so weak too."

He just shrugs, killing off 20. The upper moons sat on a large boulder, smirking down at the confused demon slayers. They felt powerful, seeing the confused faces. Out of no where Sanemi pops up behind them to slash all their heads at once.

"W-what?!"

"Such a waste of my time."

It just ended like that. Y/N was the only one panting heavily because of her weaker body but fighting those demons wasn't as bad as she thought. Her eyes widened and voice shook,

"G-Guys, they aren't the real upper moons... just common demons in disguise."

Sanemi scrawls,

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!"

All of them sighed in unison and walked back to their respective homes. Y/N did not expect things to end so fast so she just took her time to walk back. It was definitely taking a toll on her but not to the point that she would collapse. Running around and using her breathing technique was what exhausted her. She dragged her feet and eventually came in front of Haganezuka's door. The sun was just setting, on the very same day she had left. She knocks on the door and slides it open.

"I'm back..."

"Y/N? So soon?"

"Turns out that they weren't the legitimate ones. But I'm exhausted from running around."

"You came on time. I have some dinner that you can eat."

"Thanks, Hotaru."

Her body slouches on the chair, slowly munching on the delicious meal.

"I'm so tired!!"

"Why don't you go and rest?"

"I'm all sweaty too. Ahhhhh! I'm lazy!"

"Just use my hot spring."

"Me is lazy."

Haganezuka chuckles and throws her over his shoulders. She hits his back but her body weakened from exhaustion.

"I'm being a sweet boyfriend, bringing you to the hot spring."
