You/Shinobu Kocho - Apology Part 1

(Demon Slayer)



"You're Shinobu, right?"


Shinobu turns around to find a stranger glaring daggers at her. She tilts her head to the side as she tries to figure out where she could've seen the woman before.


"Do I know you?"


"No. But I know you. You've been dating (y/n)."


"Ahh. You must be a relative of hers?"


"No. I'm her best friend and as her best friend, it's my duty to look out for her."


"I don't understand what you're trying to tell me." Your friends attempts to grab her haori but Shinobu grabs her wrist before she could. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."


Shinobu says with a smile despite being annoyed that a random stranger thought they could lay a hand on her. This woman was getting on her nerves and the only reason why she hadn't left the conversation was because she claimed you were her best friend. The last thing she wanted was to make things worse.


"Whatever. I just wanted to tell you that you need to break up with her. You're not good enough for (y/n) and you never will be."


"Excuse me?"


"I don't need to repeat myself. You heard me. If you want to do the decent thing, break up with her so she can be with someone better."


The Hashira drops her smile, unable to keep smiling after what she had heard.


"If I didn't know any better. It sounds like you're jealous. It's not my fault you didn't ask her out before. You had plenty of time and you wasted it. I suggest you don't make a comment about our relationship again. You don't know anything about us."


"Actually I do. (y/n) has been coming home for a couple of days now and she's been complaining about you. She always talks about how annoying it is that you're smiling all the time. That you're clingy. She wants to break up with you but she's afraid you might do something to her if she does."


Shinobu refused to believe what this woman was saying. You would've told her if you would go home as you've been talking about her meeting your parents.


"I don't believe you. Why would she say that when she's been wanting for me to meet her parents?"


"She said that you've been pressuring her to introduce you to do them."


"I have not!" Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Shinobu starts smiling again. "I don't need to listen to this. You clearly sound like you have some unresolved feelings with (y/n). Leave me alone."


"Don't say that I didn't warn you. Pay a visit to her home and you'll see that I'm not lying. She's been back for a couple of days now. Don't you she would've told you if the two of you were serious."


Of course, the woman had to have the last word. Refusing to give her the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of her, Shinobu heads back to the estate.

Despite her best attempts to get the conversation out of her mind, Shinobu couldn't stop thinking. She wanted to pay your house to see how the woman was wrong but she started doubting herself. What if there was a possibility that you were in fact home?


"Shinobu? Is everything okay?"


"Aoi, has (y/n) sent a letter?"


"(y/n)? We haven't received any letters from her. Is she okay?"


Shinobu smile widens as she nods.


"She's okay. I'm going back to the town. I need to check something out. I'm not sure when I'll be back."


It was obvious that Aoi suspected that something was wrong but she didn't comment on it.


"Alright. Just be careful."


"I will."

There was music coming from your home as Shinobu got closer. The voices were muffled so she couldn't exactly tell what they were saving. Needing to get a closer look, Shinobu carefully makes her way around in the dark to an open window. She looks in to find you in the middle of the celebration. Beside you was the woman who had confronted her in the evening. A reasonable part of her told her to stay a little longer to try to figure out why you had gone home without telling her but she didn't want to stay. Especially when she started to silently cry. She hurries home, thankfully finding that everyone had already gone to sleep.


Shinobu has a hard time falling asleep as all she could think about was what had happened in the day. She had thought that your relationship had been fine and now this happened.

Morning comes and Shinobu is still wide awake. She gets pulled out of her thoughts when someone knocks at her door.


"Shinobu, (y/n) is back!"


Before yesterday, Shinobu would've rushed to greet you after coming back from your mission but now she dreaded seeing you. When they knock again, she forces herself to get out of bed and wash up for the day.

Shinobu watches you greet the everyone from the entrance. Her smile never wavers and she's thankful that she no longer has any tears left to cry. Her eyes were still a little puffy and red from crying last night but at least there were no more tears.


When you were done, you made your way to greet Shinobu.


"Shin..."


"We need to talk?"


She could tell you were confused from the lack of her usual warm tone and it annoyed her. How could you act so clueless when you were telling people that you didn't truly love her? She should've known by now that she was going to find out one way or another.


"Is everything okay, Shinobu? Did I do something wrong?"


Shinobu drops her smile when she turns around to see you.


"I went to the market yesterday and ended up bumping into this woman who said she was your best friend..."


"You met, (friend's name)? She did...."


"Don't interrupt me." She cuts you off, annoyed that you had interrupted her. "She told me that you weren't in love with me. That you would tell her that you found me annoying and that you wanted to break up with me...."


"I didn..."


"I said don't interrupt me! You don't have to lie anymore. We're over. You can get your things and leave."


"Bu..."


She narrows her eyes at you and you shut your mouth. Shinobu's relieved when you grab a few of your things and hurry out of her room. Finally alone, she heads to bed in attempt to get some sleep. When she finally falls asleep, her usual dreams of you turn into nightmares. Even in her sleep, she couldn't escape the fact that you had lied to her.
