THE HEALING - BONUS CHAPTER 1

The wedding party between Zenitsu Agatsuma and Nezuko Agatsuma was at an end. Everyone was beginning to say goodbye. Watching everyone, there was Tanjiro and Kanao together who would be the last to depart. Tanjiro was taking the last sip of his juice when Kanao saw Uzui Tengen with his three wives going away when she remembered something.

- Tanjiro?

- Hm?

- The last time we visited Mr. Sound Pillar's house he pulled you, Inosuke and Zenitsu into a room alone, didn't he? What happened? Was it something very serious?

- Brrruuuuuhhh-cof,cof,cof!

- Tanjiro! What was it?

Extremely red, Tanjiro in the fright of such a question choked with the last sip of the juice he was drinking. This visit happened about a month before Zenitsu and Nezuko's wedding. Alone inside a room in the house of the former Pillar of Sound, he was standing with a serious look in front of the three boys formally seated, with the exception of Inosuke, confused. Tanjiro and Zenitsu had a very blushing expression. Zenitsu, excited, but a little irritated at the same time, several times already wiped his bleeding nose while Tanjiro tried to hold on to the same thing, completely uncomfortable with the situation.

- I don't think I need your advices! Girls are delicate beings, I know how gentle I must be. I don't want to hear that from someone who is so full of himself to have three wiv-GAHH!

Zenitsu fell unconscious with the direct blow from Uzui in his stomach. Ignoring all this, Inosuke crossed his arms with a confused and blurred expression.

- Why am I here listening to this? I don't need it, because I lived in the mountains and I know what must be done at the time!

- You're really a savage! You shouldn't treat a lady like that! ... Maybe a little bit... - said Uzui.

-Hahh? I didn't hear you! Anyway, the King of the Mountain here doesn't need any advice. I'm still hungry, I'm going after more food. This time without Aoi noticing!

So Inosuke walked away while Tanjiro and Uzui watched him worrying about Aoi's future. But soon Uzui moved his pupil to Tanjiro who trembled when he realised he was being seriously watched.

- And you? Do you have any excuses, too?

- Uh... I, uh... Ah... - Tanjiro was sweaty while still blushing.

- You're already in a serious relationship with the Insect Pillar's former tsukugo, aren't you? Then take what I'm saying seriously. It's a very important part of married life! Did you understand everything I said?

- Y-yes, sir...

- Then repeat it.

- Ah? Ah... It starts with a hug...

- Then...?

- Then... A deep... kiss to start... turning the woman on...

- Huh? I'm not listening to you! You're not leaving here until you repeat everything!

- A deep kiss to start turning the woman on and caressing her body with the hands and then with the mouth! - In the pressure of the moment, Tanjiro shouted everything at once, panting.

- No need to shout, you want the girls to hear you?

- Ugh...!

- Anyway, I'm glad you understand so far. Me and you now only have one arm and one eye and so we may have difficulty for certain positions, but the pleasure will not diminish if you know how to do it!

- (I cannot deny that Uzui-san is right... I have to do my best for Kanao. I may even end up hurting her, so I have to do my best... Ugh... This is very embarrassing! But I have to learn! I'm the oldest son, I can do it!) - Thought Tanjiro with himself trying to motivate himself.

Exciting Uzui continued with his explanations of positions and the care of the woman for her first time with the possibility of pain and bleeding. Images invaded Tanjiro's mind. As he imagined his breath gradually decreasing, until blood began to flow from his nostrils in large quantities until it caused his stamina to end and then faint with a pool of blood spilled on the floor.

- Ahh... Was it too early for that? Those three are still too innocent...

Uzui lamented watching Tanjiro and Zenitsu faint as he listened to their wives' cries discovering Inosuke stealing food and running away. Ignoring the two fallen, Uzui went to the kitchen for some more sake to drink.

Trying to catch his breath from the choking of the last sip of the juice, Tanjiro remembered this not so distant memory. Kanao worried and tried to help him.

- Tanjiro, are you all right?

- Ah, yes... Sorry, Kanao.

- Really? Your face is red.

Watching Kanao's worried face, in Tanjiro's eyes the fluffiness he saw in her expression her cuteness, but his mind soon replaced it with an erotic expression making his nose start bleeding a little.

- Tanjiro! You are bleeding!

- Ahh! Sorry! It's nothing! Really! - Said Tanjiro agitated and nervous covering his nose with his right hand.

- I'll call Aoi!

- N-No need! It must just be a bit of fatigue! I'm going to the bathroom!

- Tanjiro!

Tanjiro rushed to the bathroom, not only to wash off his nosebleed, but to relieve a part of it that was beginning to reveal itself on his clothes. There, alone, he began to calm down in various ways.

- Ahh... I ended up worrying Kanao... I have to apologise to her later...

[...]

It was time for Tanjiro and Inosuke to return to their mountain home. At the gate of the Butterfly Mansion the young redhead asked Inosuke to go ahead to say goodbye properly to Kanao.

- Tanjiro, are you really okay?

- Yes... Sorry to worry you, Kanao. But it was really no big deal. I think it was just a bit of fatigue. I feel better now.

- I see, I'm relieved, then.

- Yes. Uh... About that day at Uzui-san's house, it was, uh... It was a man-to-man talk. It's very hard to explain... He was giving us married life advices...

- Oh, I get it! He has a lot of experience after all. - said Kanao smiling again.

- Ah... Yeah... A lot... - Tanjiro blushing again.

- Tanjiro?

- Ah! It's nothing! Well, it's getting late, so I'm going now! See you, Kanao!

- Ah, Tanjiro! You forgot something!

Turning back to Kanao, Tanjiro is surprised by a kiss on his lips accompanied by a strong hug on his shoulders. He once again felt the softness of his bride's lips and their sweet taste. Separating her face a little from his, she looked directly into the eyes of her fiancé and smiled beautifully.

- Now you haven't forgotten anything!

- Kanao...

Tanjiro's heart beat strongly when he saw that smile. He had no resistance to it. With his right arm he embraced her tenderly.

- Kanao, I love you.

- I love you too, Tanjiro. Soon it will be us too.

- Yes. I look forward to it.

They spent a few minutes sharing each other's warmth until they finally said goodbye. They would still have to go through some difficulties. Winter would soon come, not only in the weather, but also in Kanao's heart. However, nothing that the heat of the sun couldn't warm up and make bloom her again.
