A crow has been seen flying in the sky above the farm where Nezuko is heading too. "Excuse me sir" she said as she bowed down to the farmer who is usually doing their job in the morning. "What is it?" The farmer said. "Would it be okay if i took that basket, straw and some bamboo? She asked as the farmer as she pointed where the item is.

"I'll pay for it" She added ad the farmer dismissed his hand declining the offer. "oh, no, no. You don't have too. That basket was full of hole on it"

"Alright! I'll pay for it!" Nezuko said handing the money to the farmer. "No, just take it. You can get the straw and bamboo for free too" The farmer said. "Are you sure? My brother always said to pay someone when you ask for something"

"if it is in better shape, sure. But the basket is trash for us" He held the hoe up to his shoulder, grinning-naturedly. "Just take it, we plan on throwing it anyway" The farmer added as Nezuko blushed a bit because of his kindness.

"Thank you so much!" She bowed for a second and proceeded to pick the things that she needed. As the farmers bid their goodbye wishing for her to have a safe journey. She climbed the mountain not far from the outskirt of the farm. She was careful not to be suspicious. She didn't want them to be curious on what would be a lone young girl would be doing in an outskirt of the forest.

After a minute pass surveying the area, she arrived at the caved where i left her brother. "Tanjiro! huh, where is he?" Nezuko called as she looked inside. Suddenly a head poopped up from underneath the hole. "did he make a hole? My brother turn into a mole and he is frowning..." Nezuko thought looking how cute tanjiro is on the hole. "No...he looks annoyed" She silently laugh.

"Nezuko, is something funny?" He asked looking at his sister. "Nothing" she said.

"He must really want to avoid the sunlight" Nezuko thought looking at his brother who have annoyed look. "Wait there for a moment" Nezuko said as she started to make a basket for his brother and use the bamboos as as covering for the basket for his brother to avoid the sunlight.

Nezuko wanted to travel daytime too. Not wanting to waste time. she doesn't want to wait for the sun to come down and move at the night. she prefer to use the daytime to research for a cure for his brother.

"Tanjiro, think you can fit in here? I want to keep moving during daylight too." She said as she put the basket inside the cave to let tanjiro see it. "I'll try" he said as he began to get out fo the hole heading to the basket, but he is too big to fit in there. "ni-chan your too big" Nezuko said.

Wait...

When he tried to fight tomioka-san didn't his body become bigger? Is it because of his power as a demon.

"Tanjiro, your as big as an adult now." She said tapping his back getting his attention. "Can you maybe reverse that...become smaller"

He followed what his sister said. He pushed up the basket with his body trying to get in. Nezuko was a bit startled when she heard a wiggling inside. "He look likes a child now" She giggled and held the basket to avoid to topple over.

Within a blink. Tanjiro is much smaller. "That's perfect ni-chan! I can carry you easily now!" She said as she covered the basket with old clothes and carry it down the road.

"Mount Sagiri? If you want to go there, you have to cross that mountain but...the sun is about to set. Are you really heading there with all that luggage? It's dangerous" A lady said.

"i'll be plenty careful. Thank you very much!" Nezuko replied as she started to moved away. The lady wish for her safe journey.

Timeskip..

The siblings cross the mountain. It was dark now so Nezuko put the basket down letting tanjiro out. She grabbed his hand and continue walking. Suddenly tanjiro stopped his track making Nezuko do the same.

"Is there something wrong, ni-chan?" Nezuko asked looking at his brother who is looking at the temple ahead of them. "Blood...I smell blood" Tanjiro said making Nezuko feel fear again. she remember the sight if their family getting killed in front of her.

"We need to hurry! This mountain path is dangerous. The traveler maybe injured" Tanjiro said as they both rush to the station. When they got there Tanjiro opened the door. "Are you alright?" as suddenly stopped when he saw a corpse of a man and a woman on the ground.

"Blood...flesh...i..i...i'm hungry" He thought as he is trying to resist the temptation of eating those corpses. "Ni-chan...did he want to eat those" She thought as she look at the corpses of once a happy family.

"What?! Who are you? This is my territory! Get away from my feeding ground!" The man growled. he had shoulder-length black hair that was matted with dried blood, and a sharp fangs glinted in the moonlight. glistened with the flesh he consumed and liquid that he drunk.

"He..he is a...man eating...demon" Nezuko thought trembling in fear.

"Wait! something is wrong. Are you both humans?" The demon said making Nezuko step back in fear while tanjiro is still resisiting the urge to eat human flesh. Suddenly the demon pound toward Nezuko and push her outside the station.

She quickly grab the axe on her axe sheeth and slice the demon chin. "A hatchet" The demon said as he halted his advance, letting out a growl. The demon lifted his hand to feel the blood that was dipping out of his neck. A low rumble rose from his throatas he laugh. "Not bad, not bad at all"

"But a wound like this will heal in no time" He bragged as he released the wound who is slowly closing as nezuko watch in horrified amazement. The blood that was dripping outside has been suck inside. "see, the bleeding stopped already"

While tanjiro is still motionlessly at the temple entrance trying hold his self from eating human, the demon immediately jump on Nezuko making her grunt on the ground. "He's fast and he's strong" Nezuko thought.

"You won't get me twice! I will snap your neck!" The demon said as he readied his claws to snap Nezuko's neck. Before she could finish that thought, however, a gust of wind rustled. Tanjiro practically teleported to her side, orbs slit. And like a flash of light—

WHAM!

—he threw a kick hard enough that the body of the demon stayed on the ground, yet his head flew like a ball. Nezuko blanched. "H-he killed him! oh wait but he is a demon...but..." Nezuko thought.

'Why youuu! I knew it! One of you is a demon! Something didn't seem right! What are a demon and a human doing together?!' The demon as his body suddenly twitch and his head grows an arm.

"I don't believe it. Did he just move by his head?" Nezuko said looking at the demon head who is growing an arm on its side.

"Wait. I thought demon can be killed by cutting its head" Tanjiro thought as he remember the time when he sacrifce his own body to cut the demons head and it disintegrated. "Is this a different kind of demon?" he thought.

Suddenly the body stood attacking tanjiro surprisingly. Since he is busy having thoughts about the demon head. He didn't notice the body as he got tackled to the ground. "Stop it!" Nezuko yelled as she took the hatchet and swung it as fast as she could, intended to chop its torso.

The head of demon demon suddenly crawled and jump on her as Nezuko made a sudden turn and struck the flying head instead, but the first isn't enough to completely hurt it. The demon managed to chomp the blade with its sharp fangs while Nezuko is giving her all to resist the demons strength.

Suddenly the demon arm grab her shoulder and notice that the demon saliva is growing on her hatchet. "YuCK! Get off of me You Pervert!" She shouted as she hardened her fist giving the demon a really hard punch sending it to the tree.

"How?! The demon demised, pupil dilated as it took the view of the night sky in a startled groan. How could a weak girl like her have such a mean hook?!" The demon thought.

"Ouch" Nezuko said as she massage her fist. With a loud cry she quickly grab the demon's head while grabbing the knife from his pocket really hard and stab the knife into the tree along the demon's arm on a tree to pin him. He keep thrashing around but failed to unpin the knife in his arms on the tree. Suddenly he went unconcious.

Nezuko then looked to check on Tanjiro. "Ni-chan!" She called out as she saw him on the cliff staring at the demon body who just fall of a minute ago. Tanjiro look at his sister with concen. "Nezuko! Are you hurt? where? Are you fine?" Tanjiro worriedly said as he look and touch Nezuko's arm, leg, head and look at her body.

"Don't worry ni-chan. Nothing hurt. I'm fine" She reassured him and giggled on his reaction. Tanjiro sight in relief seeing his sister in a good state. He will never forgive his self if his sister get hurt in his watch.

"This is not the same scent that i smell in our house. A different demon" Tanjiro said looking at the demon head that was pinned on the tree.

"But we have to finish him or he will kill more people. So...i gotta do it!" Nezuko said as the dead people on the temple flashed. "I have to do this!" Tanjiro looked at her with admiration. "I know you can do it, Nezuko" approached the demon holding the hatchet. She raise the hatchet up and...

"You can't kill that with that thing" An man with a mask appeared ou of nowhere. "I didn't even sense him. His steps had no sound at all. Who is he?" Tanjiro thought as he stare at the man watching him closely.

Greetings Lord Sakonji Urokodaki. I have sent a girl on your way who says she want to become a demon-slaying sword. A demon slaughtered her family transforming his surviving brother into a demon but he chooses not to attack humans and choose to stand for his sister and have courage to fight me.

I sense something in these two that is different from the others. Like you, the girl has a strong sense of smell. Her exact words when I accused her brother of killing her family. Difference in skill aside, I believe that perhaps she could be worthy of carrying on your traditions. Please, train her.

I know this is a selfish request, so please forgive me. May this find you in good health and in good spirits.

Sincerely, Tomioka Giyu

T

he man notice tanjiro staring at him wildly. "You don't need to worry kid. I won't hurt you sister" Tanjiro sight in relief hearing that but he won't let his guard down.

Nezuko say to the old man, 'How can I finish him off?'

He replies, 'Don't trust what others say. Can't you solve this riddle yourself?'

she think for a while, 'He moved in complete silence. she wasn't aware of his presence.She look at him with sympathy, "If stabbing isn't good then i'll have to crush his head" Nezuko thought as she brought a rock on her hand and approached the demon hanged on the tree,.

"To crush his skulls and crash it completely, i guess i have to pund it many times with this rock" She thought.

"i bet he is going to suffer" she added.

Sakonji watched in disinterest as the girl, now holding a medium-size rock, had a staring battle with the unconscious demon. "Isn't there anything that i can use to kill him with one blow" she thought.

The mask guy appear to smell Nezuko's scent while looking at the situation 'This kid isn't going to cut it. She is too kind to make any decisions"The old man didn't want to dismiss it right away as you can't judge a book by its cover. Yet clearly, this girl was no good. It had been ten minutes and she hadn't moved an inch.Her kindness prevented her from taking decisive action. She is too kind and full of sympathy.

Tanjiro notice that the old man is getting irritated. Even thought he can't see the old man face nor reaction right now. He can still use his nose to smell his scent. "Nezuko, Use this" Tanjiro said as he handed Nezuko his fathers sword.

"But brother...i don't know how to wield a sword" She said.

"You will become a demon slayer right?" Tanjiro said making nezuko take a step back. "His right. What am i doing. I will become a demon slayer to cure my brother and here i'm scared to lift a sword and take someones life. I'm pathetic" She thought looking down on the ground.

"Nezuko, I know you can do it. Trust your self" Tanjiro said cheering up his sister. "Hai ni-chan!"

"This is not the time to feel scared. If i don't kill this demon right here, then he will attack and hurt more people. I need to prevent that. And the only wait to do that is to...Kill it" She though as she approached the demon and rise the sword ready to cut it.

'Please in the next life, Don't become a demon.' she said as the demon woke up from its sleep. "I blacked out. Is my body dead, then?I feel sick" The demon thought. When he looked upward he saw Nezuko carrying a katana and raising it up ready to slice him.

"You bastard! I swear i will devour you! Get over here! Damn it!" The demon yelled making Nezuko tremble in fear and making her dropped the sword on the ground as the sun got up.

"I faltered for too long. Now the sun is up" Nezuko thought as she look at the sun shines and it burn the demon to crisp and turn it to ashes. Nezuko fall down on the ground due to nervousness while tanjiro is nowhere in sight.

"He's gone with that much light? No wonder Tanjiro tried to hide from it" Nezuko thought as she panicked and look for her brother. Good thing he already got inside the basket to hide.

"Ow wait where's that man?" Nezuko asked. "Hey." He called, He tilted his head towards the outside and said, "Would you like helping me in digging the grave for them?" Nezuko blinked twice. Before she gave a pleasant grunt and nodded.

After the proper burial had been done and a short prayer was given from the demon, he immediately scampered back into the temple. Must be his instinct telling him that the sun is going to come up soon, the old man concluded by looking at the night sky that had started to brighten up. Sakonji was still crouching and giving the victims his last goodbye as e heard the evil demon shriek in pain.

He could also hear the girl gasp, making it clear that she wasted too much time and let the demon suffern "I'm Sakonji Urokodaki. I'm assuming that your the one that Giyu tomioka had sent." The old man said as he introduce his self. "Yes, I am Nezuko Kamado. My brother is Tanjiro.'

He says, 'Tell me Nezuko, what will do when your brother eats someone?' Nezuko froze for a moment when she hear that statement. She coundn't speak a word.He slap her across her face. The old man had slapped her. He hit her without thinking. Without remorse too, judging from the glowering aura.

"You think too slowly!"

"You failed to finish that demon before sunrise! Do you know why you couldn't answer my question right away? It's because your resolve is too weak! You are too soft! When your sister eats someone, there are two things you have to do. Kill your sister then slit your own belly and die! That is what is means to travel with your sister who has become a demon! It's your sacred duty to ensure that this never happens. Your brother must never take the life of an innocent person!" Urokodaki said.

"GIVE ME A BREAK ALREADY!"

Sakonji blinked when the girl suddenly exclaimed, breath quickening and body trembling. Her meek composure turned aggressive. And her fists curled around her yukata so tight, it left creases.

"Give me a break. Just... give me a break." She growled. "I'm trying. Here, I am trying so hard. I try to stay strong. To continue to smile. To try to be my happy self because my brother needs me to do that.."

"But I can't. I can't do that for too long." She had been sniffling. Tears have not yet started streaming down her lip, but it was obvious that if she did not start wiping the excess right then it would fall quickly., "I'm not as strong as Niichan. I'm not as nice as Niichan. I'm just a normal girl trying to act normal from all the...crap that has been happening to me so far."

"I'm tired. I'm tired and I just want to roll over and sleep." With her shivering hands, she covered her face."But I can't. I can't because Niichan has been going through worse than me. Other people have been going through worse than me. Heck, even the demon has been going through worse than me."

"That's why," Nezuko lifted her head. And even though Sakonji could still see the lingering tears in those red orbs, the sadness was overcome by the resolve behind them. Her eyes furrowed and her lips formed into a thin line. "That's why I'll work hard. Even if I have to vomit blood and my bones are broken, I'm not going to give up. I'll find a cure and turn Nii-chan back to normal. So please!" She bowed. "Make me into your apprentice!"

Sakonji was quiet for a little while, and for a little while, the girl didn't move from her place either. It was obvious from her outburst that this kid was about to tear her hair out; she was probably already figuratively pulling her hair out, based on those spats. Yet she stood high still. She was prepared to face the issue head-on and not cry uselessly as she wish seh could. Even if he was still skeptical, he could at least give her a point for that.

"I can't make you my apprentice." Nezuko tensed. "Not right away. I will test you to see if you have what it takes to be a demon-slaying swordsman."

"Shoulder your brother and follow me."

To be continue...
