There were certain rules that applied when you see things happen that hardly ever happen. For instance if you see a dispute between lovers it is easier to avoid it than to get involved. Though if you grew up in the mountains with your small family and barely went to the nearest village is were this rule didn't apply.

Especially to one Tanjiro Kamado.

The boy was on a mission to a local village about demons hunting down villages and travelers at night. Taking a narrow road he stumbled upon an unusual sight.

A you man was being clung onto by a girl with short length blonde hair. She wore a standard black uniform along with a yellow haori with a white triangle pattern.

The girl was sobbing uncontrollably as she held on tightly to the young man. Tears and snot cascading down her face as the young man tried pushing her off. Seeing this Tanjiro immediately leapt into action thinking it was a nasty dispute between lovers. Until he heard the shouts of the blonde girl.

"PLEASE MARRY ME!! PLEASE I WON'T LIVE LONG!! I DON'T WANNA DIE THIS WAY!!" The girl wailed on clinging tighter to the young man.

"I said no! I just wanted to check to see if you were ok! Clearly your delusional!" The young man spoke in irration.

"What is going on here...?"

Grabbing the back of the girl's haori he lifted her up off from the young man shocking both of them.

"Please head your way I'll take care of this!" He said politely towards the man. Not taking a chance he ran off leaving a stunned blonde alone with Tanjiro.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?!? I'M TRYING TO GET MARRIED AND LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE! " Brown eyes started panicky into his slighty annoyed red eyes. Taking a closer look he noticed the yellow scarbed nichirin blade on her hip.

"Aren't you a demon slayer!?! You shouldn't be pestering people about marriage when you have a duty to fulfil!" Tanjiro shouted back at a now Wide eyed blonde.

"HUH!?! DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME FROM THE FINAL SELECTION?!" The blonde woman question incredulously. Sure he remembered a few people, but he was not good with memory what so ever.

"I remember intense training...breaking a girl's arm for being a bully and well..."

A look of realization dawning on his features. "Ah! I remember your that blonde girl who complained the whole time!" Smiling at his efforts he didn't notice the utterly shocked face of the blonde.

"My name is Zenitsu!! And you are to take responsibility of me right now!" The hirl shouted making him tilt his head.

"Responsibility?" He questioned.

"That's right! Until I find a suitable husband to marry you will have to keep me safe and protected until than!" She shouted with the barest conviction in her voice.

Tanjiro just gave her a look.

"HUH!? WHAT'S WITH THAT LOOK! SAY SOME-" She stopped midsentence as a loud rumble could heard from her stomach. A deep crimsom blush reaching her ears in embarrassment.

"When was the last time you eaten?" He questioned as Zenitsu became very shy.

"A couple of days ago..."She whispered shyly twiddling with her fingers.

Taking this as a good opportunity ti change the course of weirdness he pulled out a green cover cover holding a few rice balls he made before starting this journey. Plucking one he handed over to zenitsu with a genuine smile.

"Gotta keep you strength up if I'm to take responsibility over you." He spoke causing her to blush at his words. Her hand reached out slowly before grabbing the rice ball to take a few bites out of it.

"Whoa!" She beamed as she quickly devoured the rice ball.

"THESE ARE SO DELICIOUS!"

Stuffing her face to the brim she cried comical tears of happiness with rice clinging to her lips.

"YOUR TRULY MY HERO TANJIRO!" She wailed clinging onto him in a uncomfortable manner.

"Didn't I try to stop this?"

"By the way what are you doing out here anyway?" He questioned getting a very scared look from zenitsu.

"T-to slay a demon in the village ahead of us...but I can't do it! I'm so weak! Demoms are so gross to! It's gonna have weird tentacles and long tongues and it's gonna devour me and do lewd things to my body!TANJIRO PLEASE PROTECT ME!" She clung tighter and wailed uncontrollably in his chest.

He sweat dropped at not only the girls rather pathetic display of dignity, but also her bizarre imagination of demons doing lewd things to her. To calm her stress he simply ran his hand across her back in a attempt to ease her stress.

"I do this for Nezuko to calm her down...hopefully this will work too."

True to his thoughts it calmed down the overly rambunctious blonde. He could smell her lilac scent and the fact that he could tell she was calm.

"I'll protect you zenitsu don't worry about it!Umm...Zenitsu?" He questioned at the unresponsive girl in his arms. Looking down at her she had obviously fallen asleep while he was comforting her. Laughing to himself he picked her up bridal style and made he's way to the villiage.

"Strange...why do I feel like something really bad is gonna happen to me im the future?"

Pushing the thought aside he walked in toe to the path the village was in. Traces of a small thunderstorm starting in the distance.
