"Ah, I have to see them now, do you wanna see them too, Saiwai-san?" asked Shinobu while standing from her chair.

"Yeah, I wanna see them, they have warm heart that make me curious."

Shinobu and Suzumi got out from the room and walked together to the room where the trio squad were treated.

Chapter 2


"Jeez..." Aoi got out from the room where Kamaboko Squad were treated.

As she met 2 pillars, she greeted them, Shinobu asked why she seems like angry, but she said she doesn't angry, just feel a little upset at the yellow haired boy who is difficult to close his mouth, always screaming that he doesn't want to take his medicine.

"For the first time I hear something like that," Suzumi said.

"Yeah, I think he has a very unique personality."

"Zenitsu, calm down, Aoi will never hurt you," Tanjirou said to Zenitsu who was acting like someone would kill him, his whole body was extremely tremble.

"How can you say like that?! I know that your medicine is easy to take but don't say like that to me!" Zenitsu yelled while his index finger pointed to Tanjirou.

When they arrived in front of the room, Suzumi was silent, her eyes focused on that yellow haired boy. She felt familiar with him, but she didn't remember who was him. Someone from her past? maybe.

Suzumi entered the room after Shinobu, she saw three boys were on their bed.

"How's your condition?" Shinobu asked them.

"Much better. Shinobu-san, thanks for bring us here." Tanjirou answered, his friend, Zenitsu, was looking at the girl whose staring the room ceiling.

'She's so beautiful... no, no, no! Nezuko-chan more pretty than her.' He immediately shook his head.

'But... I think I've known her before...'

"Zenitsu!" Tanjirou called.

"W-what?"

Shinobu smiled, she intended to introduce the girl who standing behind her, "She is Saiwai Suzumi, the gems pillar, I think Tanjirou-kun has known her since yesterday, then I introduce her to both of you, Zenitsu-kun, Inosuke-kun."

Inosuke was just silent, he didn't even get up from his bed, he was so depressed.

"I'm Suzumi, nice to meet you." Suzumi shook Zenitsu's hands.

"N-nice to meet you too," Zenitsu replied nervously.

"I heard that you were hit by spider poison, I hope you can get well soon, and also your friends."

"T-thank you."

"Suzumi-san, I heard you have a sister who was pillar too, is that right?" Tanjirou asked.

"Eh? Where did you hear that, Tanjirou?" Zenitsu asked curiously.

"That's right, but... my sister has passed away few years ago... that's why I replaced her as a gems pillar," She answered, her tone becomes low.

"Ah, sorry to hear that." Tanjirou felt guilty to made Suzumi remembered her past.

"No problem, I think we're same, just forget it."

Suddenly, a crow wearing a necklace made of small diamonds came to the window. "Saiwai Suzumi, Saiwai Suzumi, you were called by Oyakata-sama, he has waiting for you at his residence."

Suzumi took a breath. "Well then I have to go now, see ya." She said and walked out from the room quickly.

"That girl..." Zenitsu whispered involuntarily.

"What's wrong with her, Zenitsu-kun?" Shinobu asked.

"A, no... Nothing."

Zenitsu was thinking about the girl he just have met, he seemed to know her very well. A few seconds later, the shadow of his past best friend appeared in his mind.

"Suzumi-chan... Is that you?"


"The kids have disappeared in the Aomori forest and no longer existed. Saiwai, go find them and help them to crush the demon that is there."

'I'm not surprised they disappeared, they must have been eaten by this damned monster.' Suzumi said in her mind, she could smell the dead carcasses.

'I hope my heart's fine...'

"Cough... cough..."

"What's happening, Young Lady? Are you tired? Don't worry, you will be able to rest forever." The demon laughed loudly, he was satisfied after making Suzumi tired of his demon blood art that was 'disappearing undetected'.

"By the way, we haven't met yet, what's your name?" The demon smiled wickedly, he appeared in the form of a young man who looked the same age as Suzumi.

"Cough... cough..." Suzumi couldn't speak, her breathing was too tight for her weak heart. She just held her katana tightly.

"Alright, I will introduce myself first. My name is Kage which means shadow, I can hide even in your own shadow," he said proudly.

"Then why? Why I must know your name? It's not important for me," she said restrain her anger.

"Tch, you aren't suitable to be angry. Listen, you have great power, we can be friends if you want."

"No, I don't want to be your friend, you're just a monster, you have eaten my friends!"

"Hey, hey, I only eat their hearts, I didn't eat their body."

When she heard it, her anger increased, her body trembled, it felt like she wanted to throw her katana directly at the monster.

"Well, it looks like I really have to finish you off right now." Suddenly Kage disappeared from Suzumi's view.

'Calm down, Suzumi, he must be around here.' She closed her eyes for a few seconds.

"Over there!" Suzumi immediately swung her katana behind her body, which made one of Kage's hands broken and temporarily removed his demon blood art.

'This girl...' He was so upset, he wanted to kill her and eat her immediately.

"Gem breathing third form..."

When Kage would launch an attack with his sharp claws that will immediately cut anything, Suzumi swung her katana to his neck very quickly.

"A blast of Chalcanthite flakes!" She yelled and managed to break the demon's neck instantly with all her strength.


"UWAAAAA!" Zenitsu yelled, he woke up from his sleep suddenly.

"Zenitsu? What's happening?" Tanjirou asked worriedly, he was reading a book while his friends slept.

Zenitsu's breath was panting, as if he had just had a bad dream, his face paled.

"Tanjirou..." He called Tanjirou's name as if to cry.


"Haah... Haah..." Suzumi stunned, she saw the sight of the demon's body that slowly turned into ash.

'Nee-chan, please forgive me, I shouldn't have used that power... please forgive me, Nee-chan...' She clenched her fist tightly in front of her chest.

"DAMN YOU! HOW DARE YOU CUT MY NECK? JUST LOOK, I'M WAITING FOR YOU IN THE HELL!"

"Shut up! I won't go to the hell and won't meet you." Suzumi replied angrily.

When all the ashes have disappeared, a warehouse appeared where there was demon slayer's corpses, Suzumi really wanted to cry when she saw those who died tragically. 'I'm really sorry, I can't help you all.'

She called in several kakushi to take care of the bodies of the demon slayers then left that terrible place.
