🦋🌸 AU: The Kocho Sisters Adopt YOU

Kanae is 21 and Shinobu is 18!

Welcome to the Butterfly Estate, your new home!
In this AU, Kanae and Shinobu find you after a demon attack. You’re scared, shaken, and alone—but the Kocho sisters refuse to leave you behind.

🌸 Kanae's Reaction

Kanae kneels beside you, gently brushing the hair out of your eyes.

“You’re safe now. Would you like to stay with us?”

Her smile is so soft you instantly feel protected.
She wraps her haori around you like a warm blanket, picks you up, and brings you home.

She treats you like:

• A little sibling

• A student

• A precious treasure she refuses to lose

She teaches you:

• Flower Breathing basics

• How to stay calm in danger

• How to brew tea (even though you keep spilling it)

Kanae always calls you “little bloom.”

🦋 Shinobu’s Reaction

Shinobu pretends she’s uninterested at first.

“Kanae, we are not running a daycare.”
But five minutes later she’s wrapping your wounds and fussing over you.

She becomes the strict-but-sweet mom:

• Makes you take your medicine

• Gives you chores to “build character”

• Smiles proudly when you train hard

• Threatens demons for scaring you
  “If you ever touch my sibling again, I will politely poison you.”

Shinobu secretly knits you a mini-purple haori that matches hers.

She calls you “butterfly larva.” (She says it lovingly... probably.)

🏠 Life With Your Adoptive Kocho Moms/Sisters

Your days are filled with:

• Training in the Butterfly Estate gardens

• Taking naps on the engawa with Kanae

• Getting pranked by Shinobu’s “surprise medicines”

• Helping Aoi cook (while Shinobu critiques your chopping)

• Catching butterflies together

• Getting tucked in with soft haori blankets

At night, Kanae tells bedtime stories, and Shinobu sits nearby pretending not to listen.

You sleep feeling safe, loved, and protected.

🌸🦋 Your New Role

The Kocho sisters train you to become:

• A healer

• A fighter

• A symbol of hope in their fragile family

You become the third Kocho sibling, and the Butterfly Estate is never the same again—louder, sillier, but full of love.
