"Should've Stayed in the Room, but Damn That's a Pretty Boy"
chapter 2
you felt rush adrenaline hit you. You sat up as fast as you could. You took a deep breath. What did you see? It was a dream right, but when you looked around you, you realized maybe it wasn't a dream.
You looked down at your lap with wide eyes. I wasn't supposed to die? SO WHY WAS I HERE?? You couldn't believe you had to go through all that pain of being hit by a car, and just to find out that you won't suppose to? Why, why, why?
Tears finally filled your eyes. You would think almost after dying that wouldn't be something that would make you cry, yet here you are crying because you aren't supposed to die. Dear God, what would your old self think of you?
It's not even your old self that was only a day ago. So many things had happened.
You brought your shaking hands to your mouth to shut the ugly cries you let out. After finally collecting yourself, you decide. You were going to change your fate once again.
I mean I just cried over changing my fate. Why not cry happy tears this time when changing fate, first when is tanjiro family is going to die?
If I remember correctly Tanjiro was 13 when his family died, and his birthday is in July. I might be able to estimate when the time comes. You looked at the window.
You knew it was going to be a long road. You were going to have to train and be active, to be able to change fate. You brought your knees to your chest . You looked down, you felt hair come down.
You still won't get used to this long hair. Whoever this body belongs to they must have loved their hair or something. You smiled. "Imagine having that much energy to take off your hair like that," you laughed.
You brought your head closer to your knees. 'I just want to go back to my bed' you felt tears fall down your face. "Mom... I'm sorry I failed as a daughter" that's all you could say
"Umm excuse me?" This voice shocked you when you looked at the door and saw a girl with long black hair and you knew exactly who it was. "Um, I'm sorry i should've knocked but I could help but hear you crying so wanted to make sure you were ok"
she looked at you with concern but still smiled at you. It was very warm. You took your arm and wiped all the tears away and looked back at with will puffy eyes and smiled back. "No, I'm sorry you shouldn't have to see me like this" your voice was a little hoarse so you hoped she didn't mind it.
She looked at you with concern before walking near you and hugging you. Wait a hug? Yep, here you are with the nezuko hugging you. " You shouldn't say that stuff, you know" she looked up at you. "I'm sure your mother would not appreciate you talking like that," nezuko said.
You looked at her not expecting that. You never really got to see Nezuko's personality in the show. So you could say it's kinda weird. You know that was different before she became a demon but you didn't read the manga, you were just spoiled by people on the internet, not like you minded or anything.
You reached your arms behind her and hugged her back.
"Thank you.." you were about to say her name when you remembered that she didn't tell you yet. Nezuko finally realized why you stopped and introduced herself "oh right.. nice to meet you, I'm kamado, nezuko. It is finally nice to meet you" she bowed her head in a greeting.
You forgot you were in Japan for a second... Wait, how were you speaking Japanese? You've never taken a class yet. You quickly thought it was mostly because of the person's body. " Nice to meet you too. I'm l/n, y/n." You respond hoping not to seem rude. "Well l/n, I hope we can become friends." Nezuko gave a smile, and you smiled back at her. 'Me too.'
It only seems like a day but 2 weeks have finally passed. You were forced to stay in that room during that time so you were limited in things that could help you train, but you tried to keep yourself busy.
You were lucky that you and nezuko got along really well. She seemed to be the only thing keeping you from going insane in that room.
You actually looked forward to the times that nezuko would come and hang out with you, she kept you in a good mood and she also helped you would figure out how much time you had left.
Tanjiro was only 12 right now and it was nearing the end of winter so you had a year to get everything together, but during this time you determined that this body was only about 14.
you were honestly scared of meeting tanjiro because of his super-smelling ability, but that's enough about worrying about that kamado. You were braiding nezuko hair again. Your hand felt like they were going to fall off. "Ne, y/n I've been curious but why were you coved in banged when I found you?"nezuko asked.
Your hand unintentionally stopped braiding. You looked down to see the body hands were shaking, 'that's what I've been thinking too' nezuko turned around when they saw you stopped braiding their hair. "You don't have to answer if it's not too comfortable !" nezuko said quickly
You just laughed at the confused girl and said "that's not it, it's just I don't even know.." you said
"huh?" nezuko said. She looked at you in confusion. "I guess I should explain, well I woke up I was in the snow. I honestly don't know what happened," you said trying not to recall all the memories of your past life. "In all honesty when you saw me near that river, it was because I was looking at myself for the first time," you explained.
Nezuko looked at with sadness. She turned fully around and gave you a big hug. Tackle you to the bed, she laid her head on your chest and warped her arms around your back. "I'm so sorry for asking that question, it must be very difficult for you," she said, you knew she was going to cry.
You patted her back hoping that would calm her down just a little. She just snuggled her head closer to your chest
You were worried that she was going to suffocate. You lifted her, so you could sit up. You looked at her said " well let's not focus on the negative, but instead on the positive." you said with a smile. Nezuked just looked at you.
"Don't you remember?'
you laughed at her "huh" she now looked confused. You couldn't help but laugh harder at her confused face, it was so cute. "l/n what do mean?" she was so confused. You looked at her said " remember I'm now allowed to go out of the room." and like that her eyes widen
you could see little stars in her eyes when you said that. She looked at you and smiled when she suddenly grabbed your hand and dragged you off the bed. You were able to get on your feet by the time you guys made it to the door.
Nezuko opened the door and you guys went out the door. You could hear some kids laughing in the far distance, you assumed it was tanjiro and nezukos other siblings.
If you're going, to be honest, you never did learn their names. It always took you awhile to learn someone's name so you thought it wasn't worth it.
You guys came in view of the place where in the show they died. You felt sad here but couldn't let nezuko see. You didn't know where you were going so you just let nezuko lead the way.
You guys finally came to a stoping point if was someplace unfamiliar, so you clung to nezuko arm. She just looked at you and gave you the same smile. You don't know why but her smile brought just a little bit more peace to you. You smiled back at her.
She looked at something. You turned your head to face the one and only tanjiro. You know maybe you should have stayed in the room.
"Oh good morning nezuko and... You must be the guest that's been staying here, it's good to finally meet you" tanjiro gave you the famous smile that everyone knew him from.
Not going to lie it looks os much better in real life than it does in the show. They did not give him any justice.
"It's nice to meet you too, nezuko has told me a lot about you," you said, you gave him a closed-mouth smile.
He looked at you, before smiling and responding "oh, has she I hope I've left a good impression" he laughed.
He looked at his sister and said " nezuko I will be leaving soon to go seal coal, I will be back by nightfall," he stopped and looked at you " and I hope I will be able to fully introduce myself." he said with a nervous smile
In all honesty, he was kinda shocked with how you looked, he know that his sister brought someone home after finding them, but that's all he knew. He didn't give it much thought and just felt sorry for you, but when nezuko started visiting you, he became interested.
He always saw nezuko as someone very patient with stuff so it was weird for him to see nezuko become so impatient with something.
Now that he has seen you, he kinda realizes why. you were really pretty and you looked like a very trustworthy person, so he was kinda disappointed that he had to leave so soon, but he told himself he would try to get to know you a little more.
After all, what's the worst that could happen?
A/n: finally get some hints of romance in here, i honestly hope that i'm able to put more in here before it get all sad but who knows 🤷
