Unfair
Kanae Kochou x She/Her Reader
A/N: The request for this fic was along the lines of Zenitsu finding out that his sister has been dating Kanae and gets jealous. I hope you like it, thank you for reading! Word Count: 938
Zenitsu was not in a good mood.
After being cursed out of the kitchen by Shinobu and Aoi for only trying to help them by kneading the lumps of bread dough they had been working on from behind them, and then getting the wind knocked out of him by Inosuke during a surprise training that he did not agree too, mind you, he was looking for his sister to complain about how unfairly he was being treated.
This added to his fowl mood because he couldn’t find her anywhere. She wasn’t on a mission. She would have told him before she left if that was the case. So where the hell was she? Some big sister she was. Now if he had a sister like Kanae, that would be amazing. Her warmth and kindness was wasted on someone as bitter and snarky as Shinobu could be.
But then again, Zenitsu giggled to himself, Kanae would make a good girlfriend too. So beautiful, graceful and strong…
Zenitsu broke away from his musings when he heard murmurs of quiet conversation deeper within the flower garden. Probably too quiet for the average person to notice, but for Zenitsu it was perfectly clear.
So that’s where his sister had been all of this time. She was with Kanae too, a bonus. It would be so nice if (Y/n) got along with her possible future sister-in-law. Zenitsu hummed to himself, pleased.
“Onee-chan!” He called as he skipped though the blooms, all to happy to insert himself into whatever hushed conversation they were currently engaged in.
When he reached the tranquil center of the garden, he shrieked, causing every bird within a ten mile radius to scatter.
(Y/n) pulled back and quickly whipped her head around to face her brother, a near mortified look on her face at being caught locking lips. Kanae sat up more slowly, her expression was caught between amusement and confusion at Zenitsu’s sudden appearance.
“What are you doing?!” Zenitsu demanded shrilly, pointing an accusatory finger in his sister’s face.
(Y/n) flapped her lips, barely able to get a single sound out after the rude and frighteningly loud interruption of an otherwise perfect moment. She flinched slightly when Kanae’s hand came to rest atop hers, but slowly relaxed as Kanae’s thumb worked over her skin.
“Zenitsu-kun, good afternoon!” Kanae beamed, “We were just enjoying the good weather.”
It seemed to Zenitsu that they were enjoying something a little different, actually. He continued to stare daggers into his sister.
“How long has this been going on?! Huh?!”
Having had a little more time to gather her thoughts, (Y/n) smiled sheepishly as she answered.
“…About a month.”
“A month?!” He screeched, (Y/n) was concerned for the state of his vocal chords, “You’ve been kissing Kanae-san behind my back for a month? Why didn’t you tell me?”
(Y/n) looked Zenitsu up and down, “Your reaction just now pretty much sums that up.”
“This is so unfair!“ Zenitsu cried, quite literally, and flopped to his knees, face planting into his sister’s lap. As mad as he was, she was still his number one source of comfort.
“Leave some girls for me, why don’t you!” He demanded while snotting all over her pants.
“Um, I did? Kanae is the only person I’m dating.” (Y/n) shuddered at the warm, damp spot forming on her knee. Some things never changed it seemed. Still as wet and sloppy as he was when he was a baby. She petted his hair sympathetically.
“Kanae-san counts as at least ten girls and you know it!” He sobbed. “You are a terrible big sister! The worst! How dare you share the same blood as me!”
“Oh dear,” Kanae chuckled, “Zenitsu-kun, don’t be so hard on your sister, hm?”
Zenitsu scrunched up his face and shook his head against (Y/n)’s thigh, causing her to release a grossed-out groan. Good.
“I’m sorry to say I’m already quite attached to (Y/n), but I’m sure you’ll find your match one day as well.” Kanae added, trying to be helpful, surely. “But you have so many sisters now! Isn’t that grand?”
“But we aren’t married.” (Y/n) flustered. They’ve only been together a month and Kanae was already considering marriage?
“Not married yet.” Kanae corrected before continuing on, “You’ll have me, Shinobu, Kanao, Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho as your sisters-in-law. Won’t that be nice? A big happy family.” She clapped her hands together and cutely tilted her head to the side. (Y/n) couldn’t help but smile tenderly at her.
Zenitsu let out a noncommittal grunt, too tired from his previous screaming to give much more of a reaction. Maybe Kanae didn’t count as ten girls, but she for sure counted for at least seven. Perhaps he jinxed himself by thinking that Kanae was a better sister…
“So unfair…” He whined again.
(Y/n) sighed.
“How about we go into town tomorrow and I’ll take you to that food stand that specializes in eel dishes that you like so much?”
Zenitsu slowly turned his head to peek up at his sister. He did like eel… hes sniffled loudly and sat up, wiping his face on his sleeve before nodding.
“Will you buy me sweets too?”
“Fine…”
“My, such a doting sister you are.” Kanae teased.
“And you aren’t?”
“You’ve got me there!”
Zenitsu pouted up at (Y/n) and Kanae from the ground as they bantered. This would know doubt continue to sting for awhile, but to see how his sister’s eyes shined so brightly did feel kind of nice. Make no mistake, he was still going to be petty. At least until he got tired of eating fried eel.

sanekana headcanons (she dead 😝)
a/n: lol i know no one asked for these but who tf cares 🤪
Sanemi visits Kanae's grave often, even more than Shinobu. He brings fresh blue peonies to her grave bc its the only color he sees correctly; they remind him of her colorful personality.
He also brings wisteria to you know, keep her soul safe from the demons and whatnot
Sometimes when no one's around, he talks to her grave, and about what's going on in his life and that he's okay.
Whenever he ever tries to harm himself he feels something stop him. something that makes him say, "Man, what am I doing." sometimes he envisions Kanae's figure approaching him and grabbing the knife from his hands saying, "There's no need."
OKAY IM SORRY BUT "Dark Paradise - Lana Del Rey" IS SO HIM
Sometimes when he's feeling down he'll just remember that she's in a much better place. One free from all the horrors of their world.
She had a feeling she may not come back from the mission to kill Douma, so i like to think that before she left, she wrote letters for Shinobu, Sanemi, Kanao, and whoever else was important to her. The letter for Sanemi would go something like:
Dear Sanemi,
If you’re reading this, I must not have survived the attack against Douma. But please don’t be sad.. I lived a good life.
I want to thank you for loving me as much as you did. It’s true. I’ve known the whole time, and regret not letting you know sooner. That day that I tended to your wound at the mansion. I gave my little sister, Kanao, a special coin. This coin has been passed down through the generations of our family. I flipped the coin to the opposite side and said to her, “When you fall in love with some boy someday, you’ll change, too, Kanao.” I should have told you, I shouldn’t have been so cautious, but it’s too late. So please live a good life. For me. Try to refrain from crying or becoming depressed. Death is just a part of life, after all. Cherish my memory instead. Be kind to other people when you can, and don’t start meaningless fights. But I’m not asking that you change. Never change.
Lastly, I need you to promise me you’ll remember this: It is not your fault. It was never your fault. And though you may find more women in your future, and that’s okay, know that I will always love you.
We shall meet again.
- Kanae <3
a/n: that was so long ik but i hope yall like!!! i had fun writing this

So recently i came across a fanart of sanemi and kanae kids and that got me thinking how different the sanemi genya reunion would be if sanemi had a kid with kanae. Just imagine it right before sanemi goes for genya’s eyes a little voice says “papa?”.
Oh... oh, my! (Was Kanae still alive in this AU? Asking for a friend)
Genya's shock when he sees he has a niece or nephew would be a sight to behold. And I can see him stumbling past Sanemi to get a closer look at the child, and oh so softly introducing himself as Uncle Genya. Meanwhile, Sanemi is reeling from the fact he almost seriously injured his brother in front of his child, and has a moment to wonder if he's becoming like his dad.
I wonder how the aftermath would go!
