Only Human


The next Wisteria House is three towns away; it's half a day's travel and relatively uneventful. It also felt a bit lonely without Zenitsu and Inosuke after a long time spent together, but… he hadn't been with Shinobu-san for weeks, too.

And Tanjirou is only human.

After the Wisteria House receives him, Shinobu-san then pulls him into her quarters. Gently settling down Nezuko's box, he gathered Shinobu-san into his arms as she huddled close, her scent playful. Peaceful, he corrected, nosing her hair, her neck.

"I was just about to leave!" she teased.

Tanjirou laughed. "You stink of a liar."
