Anyone's POV

In a place where he stands at the puddle of water. The water pillar knows it is a repeating dream.

'Ahh...This dream again? That person who looks like that kid. I thought to spare because...'

Kring...))

The sound of bells, the image of long red ponytail twirling in the air.
(("Hehe Guren-san!"))

Tanjirou Sumiko happily greets Tomioka Guren whose actually Giyuu.
Giyuu knows it is a dream,it was not the first time anyway. However he couldn't change the flow of the dream, it is like a stage play that he needed to play along.
All he can do is silently talk to himself in his mind.

'It's him,the red head boy with hanafuda earrings. Smiling at me like how Sabito would greet me.'

His sweet giggle...
Pluck...))
He heard the sound of dripping water,it created a ripple on the back of his mind.
In his front though, it is still the priest of fire with meal on table and seems to be asking for more time to spend onto.
(("Would you like to eat with me?"))
His kindness...
Giyuu blushes.
Pluck...))
Again the sound of water?
Or was it blood...?

'My heart is wavering to melt for him.'

Giyuu smiled at him in return,to let him know that he is fine with his invitation to eat.
His lips moved and utter his name.
(("Sumiko..."))
But the dream ended.

.

.

.

The water pillar slowly open his eyes and realize the moon is up.

Meaning it is tonight, the hunting of demon and yet his mind is still occupied of the priest of fire who was lovely and he cannot help but squint his eyes on the lingering headache.

'Sumiko..?' Giyuu sat's up and clutch his head to recall what dream did he just have. 'Oh right...' He discovered the name of the special boy.

'So his name is...Sumiko?'
But whatever, it is a dream anyway.

"Time to go."

Oyakatta-sama ordered them to save the Mizunoto slayers in Nagatumo mountains since there is an Upper moon.

SLASH!

Swiftly, Giyuu sliced off Rui's neck and he was not an upper moon at all. Just a quick glance at his eyes marked with lower moon.

Giyuu already not interested.

"No..way.."

Is Rui's last words.

On the other side, Tanjiro couldn't believe his eyes to reunite again with the person who spared his and Nezuko's life. With joy twinkling in his eyes,but his broken jaw hurts that he did not want to risk it. '...I-It's Tomioka-san!' His head shouted, maybe Giyuu can hear him! But it was someone else. "B-bond..."

It was Rui's headless body walking towards Tanjiro. Before he even doubted that demon might get revenge, it fell. Tanjiro smell the scent of tragedy and patted Rui's vanishing body to ashes. Giyuu didn't realize yet who was the boy. But he was triggered to see the empathy in the boy's irises that the younger lad even gesture to pat the demon's body.

To see a slayer comforting the lower moon, that is not right. So Giyuu walk towards to Tanjiro and stepped on the clothes of the spider moon.

He spat, "Don't show pity or empathy towards demons. They are monsters." Tanjiro knows he shouldn't argue with the man who save his life twice. However he couldn't stay quite of such rudeness Giyuu displayed. Forgetting the fact his ass was saved, Tanjiro glared up to him and yells.

"Demons used to be humans! Anyone who tramples them for being pitiful creatures! I won't tolerate it!" He even growled. "Grr."

That is the moment Giyuu notice the face was...Tanjirou Sumiko?

'No...it is that boy.' It's Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Nezuko!
His eyes widen and he almost exclaimed,"You are-" only to feel an insect on her way to kill Nezuko.

CLANG!

So fast, Giyuu deflects her sword with his own blade. Tanjiro did not have time to react to realize he was under attack. Or more like...

"Arara! Tomioka-san~? What do you think you are doing?" The Insect pillar Kochou Shinobu gleefully announce her obvious shock. It finally registered to Tanjiro what is happening now. 'Oh no! Demon slayers! But wait...maybe if Tomioka-san explains to her she would understand!' Out of nowhere the butterfly lady called out to him.

"Hey boya~!"
"Y-yes!?"

Shinobu says with concern but her face looks evil. "Get away from that girl! She is a demon~!" Tanjiro gulps, and dared to rebuttal.

"No! Y-you got it wrong! Wait...yeah! But she is my little sister! Please let her go!" He pleaded. It was no avail though. "Ara~ara! That is very sad! Worry not...I will kill her a poison with instant kill so that she won't suffer." Her sword glimmered with the moonlight, Tanjiro is scared.

"No-"

Good thing Giyuu was here, he spoke with a commanding voice. "Kochou, listen to me. This boy...and her little sister, about them-" but his head throbs.
"Guhh!" Clutching his head, Tanjiro somehow felt like he was looking at a mirror of him. "Huh?" Why is Giyuu's head look like it hurts? Tanjiro calls him.

"Tomioka-san!" The voice of the boy was familiar in Giyuu's blurring vision. "I'm.. f-fine..." he glance behind him to see the face of Tanjirou Sumiko.

"Sumi..." when he blinks,it reverted back to Kamado Tanjiro. "I mean," composing himself. "Tanjiro...?" It was like a question, Tanjiro did not know how to response except... "Eh?"

'No, I shouldn't jump to conclusion that this is some sort of reincarnation.' were Giyuu's thoughts.

Shinobu cleared her throat and answered Tanjiro's puzzled face even though she has no idea what is going on the boy's head. It just felt right to tease them.

"Ara! One of your headaches again!" Then she dashes forward to stab Giyuu. "OPENING!"
Almost stumbling off balance, Giyuu kept his resolve to protect the Kamado siblings and blocked again her attacks.

SLASH!

He even threatens her.

"I won't let you touch them." Shinobu's smiling face turned to serious ones, she was not expecting that.

"To think even with your headache you are still willing to defend him...what is this? Betrayal?" But she smirks again, "Or did you got love at first sight~? Hehe, Tomioka-san!"

Ignoring the obvious trap, Giyuu lowered his voice. "Run." Tanjiro still glancing up, "P-pardon?" Giyuu did not turn his head at all, instead he postured like a wall in between Shinobu and Tanjiro as he repeated.

"If you can move, even if you cannot, run for it!"

Tanjiro almost felt like he was about to cry when he heard such sacrifice to buy time...

'No...this is betrayal to the demon slayers! Just...for us...!?'

"G-Giyuu...san?" He wanted to protest,yet Giyuu scared him off with an angry yell.
"NOW!"
Immediately Tanjiro rose up and carried Nezuko away. "R-ROGER!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Getting out of the pillar's sight, Tanjiro's broken jaw hurts like hell and he was out of breath.

"Hahh-hahh..!" His mind is going crazy from the events of suddenly being treated like an enemy when that demon slayer girl named 'Kochou' did not even felt conscience to kill Nezuko when she found out it was his sister. 'Those people, a demon is a demon to them!' Not Tanjiro or course.

Still running.


'Why? Why did it became like this?'


He grabbed the box of Nezuko and did not stop running despite the heaviness.

"Hahh..hahh..."

His feet had run faster when he heard some search parties!
"Chase him and his demon sister! Hurry!" Glancing behind him there were bunch of demon slayers chasing him. "Shit...!"
Because he panics, he run more faster than ever that they are almost flying.

"Nezuko bare with it...!" Nezuko's hair all messed up by them running wild. Nezuko though didn't really care.

"Mmmm..?"
Her big brother's mind is in a debate.

'Does this mean I have to quit the Demon Slayer corps!?'

They are almost out of the forest or going deeper, Tanjiro did not plan well where they were headed.
He looks down at Nezuko whose behaving herself in his arms. "I'm sorry Nezuko..." he apologizes to her.

"I couldn't hide your existence...If only I was strong enough they wont discover you were in that box!"

That was the mistake, Tanjiro slipped off.

"Waaah!"

It was like a cliff, but below the visible tree trunks. Still...this height. 'Oh no! Am...dead! When Giyuu-san made an effort to save me-'
Nezuko leaps and grows bigger and embraced him. "Mmmh-mmh!"

Gawking, "What the?! Nezuko got bigger-" Tanjiro recalled the snowy day that Nezuko tried to eat her. 'Oh right! She did got bigger on her first conversion!'
Determination to survive, he commanded his demon sister. "Nezuko! Make sure we land carefully!" Nezuko does understand and made a nod. "Mmhp!"

As they fall, Tanjiro remembered something.

His new friends.

Hashibira Inosuke and Agatsuma Zenitsu, he won't see them again...more like they will be his enemies from now on.

'Goodbye...Inosuke, Zenitsu...! I'm sorry if I couldn't properly part ways...I hope you guys will be okay.'

Feeling the tree leaves.
"Ghhh...!"
They landed.

Everything went dark.

...


Tanjiro's POV

'Ahh...am dreaming again?'

There he is...Sumiko.

The ghost of hanafuda earrings.

(("Priest Guren!"))

He looks so happy when he spoke to the man who I thought was Giyuu-san. However he looked more older than the Giyuu-san I have known.

Especially the clothes matches with Sumiko's attire. They were wearing priest robes with their own colors to display which god do they serve.

Of course it is not Giyuu-san, after all the man who looks like him had a small smile on his face. I cannot imagine a smile on his stoic face...but I do hope to see it someday.
(("Sumiko...Good morning."))
Both of the ghost in the past sat and eat their meal with friendly conversation.
Until a very angry voice roared and stopped the two on talking.

(("Sumiko!"))
Even though the other voice is mad, still cheerful Sumiko acknowledge the other's presence.

It was the black haired man with a very long curly hair tied at the the ends of his waist. He wore a royal outfit. I still have no idea what year is this, but everything looks very ancient.
(("Oh there you are Mu...sama!"))

The name is still cutting off every time Sumiko will say the man's name.

Sumiko's sweet giggle made me glared at the pale man whose angry at Guren...?

I heard it was Guren.

(("Didn't I told you to get to my room as soon as possible?! Why are you idling here!"))

The mysterious man scolded Sumiko who looks hurt.
(("W-what? Why are you so mad Mu-"))

.

.

.

.

.

((Gasp))

But I woke up without even finishing the dream, unconsciously my hand jerks up to reach him. "Mu...sama!"

Only to see a blinding light. "Eh...?"

I clutch my head and it covered my eyes whose trying to focus it's vision.
The sunlight is blinding me, wait... 'Morning...?' I scanned around and sat's up quickly, because I did not saw her! "Nezuko!?" I was scared to death. "Nezu-" then I spot the box just behind me, we were under the shades of the tree. I sighed in relief and pats the box, thinking it can comfort Nezuko.

"...Thank goodness you are safe!" Who knows if she was awake, I doubt she is.

Understanding she is asleep inside the box, my body whose numb suddenly felt the sting of my wounds that Rui inflicted through slicing.

"O-ow...my body hurts." I hissed and noticed that my right hand is holding my broken blade. "My nichirin blade is broken." another heavy sighed, I push my back to relax at the tree trunk and stared at the blue sky.

Whoosh~

The wind was relaxing enough for me to get a grip on myself. The clouds were moving with destination or do they?

"Where am suppose to go now?" I ask nobody,I was asking myself.

Still patting the box beside me, an idea crossed my mind. 'Should I return to Urokudaki-san?' But I realize that was an awful plan. Shaking my head, "No,no...he will be in danger if they are hunting for me."Deciding it is enough for relaxation, I put my box backpack and stood with tired legs. "Let us go...Nezuko."

I slowly walk towards the open field.

Who knows how many time or hours passed? My mind was drifting to the dream I had instead of the situation that am no longer a demon slayer.

'That dream...as I thought Giyuu-san look familiar. A man who looks like him in my dreams...In...Sumiko's memories.'
I copied what Sumiko said, "Priest Guren..." I breaths his name and somehow it made me smile.

I feel protected.

Noticing the sun had become sunset.

I glance at the orange clouds, still walking with them with no destination...Another great idea popped in my mind!

"Maybe! I should ask for Tamayo-san's hospitality!" Sounds great but there is a problem. Immediately I dropped that idea because"...Yushiro-kun's cat isn't here."
Sighing at my failed ideas. "It only appears whenever I kill a demon..." but my blade is broken. I wouldn't wish to encounter any demon for the meantime. "I can't survive like this." Who knows if Nezuko is awake, I still wanted to apologize. After all she was my only companion on this road.

"Sorry Nezuko, looks like we have to ask spare change in that city."
I look straight ahead, there is actually a noisy city that you can spot.

The night approaches and I was desperate to live with my little sister.
"The red light district."
I moved ahead and entered the place of suppose to be dangerous night life.

...


Anyone's POV

Kibutsuji Muzan he was the lord of demons. Just now he murdered all of his lower moons when Rui died.

The news was not long transmitted in his mind. Rui was killed by a pillar who looks familiar. Muzan thought he saw that face before but he was not important either way.

Right now he was here in Red light district. After Kamado Tanjiro discovered him at Asakuza Tokyo, Muzan went to hiding in his infinity fortress. He did not want Kagaya to find him whereabouts since he was scared of pillars. Pathetic as it sounds, it matters not to Muzan.

'I must survive.'
He learned from Yoriichi not to mock pillars or think lightly of them.

The scar is still there, whenever he transformed to his original form it was there.
What an ugly scar!

"Tsukihi! Another cup please!" The drunkard client said, interrupting Muzan's thoughts. He can shape shift,not only his appearance even his voice.

"Ara~you love liquor so much. You gonna get drunk!" He said in his woman voice. He can speak on his normal manly voice, he just did that to his lower moons before he slaughtered them. Ahh, except one demon name Enmu. Muzan spared his life and throw him somewhere to get stronger by eating more humans. "Hehe! Am not *hics* drunk~!" The man claims, Muzan deep inside is disgusted but he had no choice but to continue the act of being a wonderful lady in this sex and sin place.

"There~there~" pretending to be cheerful, Muzan ditched his pretend family in Asakuza Tokyo. He intend to eat them before he leaves,however somehow he did not have the appetite to do so.

This is Muzan, he is cruel but at the same time he doesn't give a damn on someone.

He is the type of person who wont bother punishing you unless worth of his attention.
That is proven to the low level demons he created, he could have killed them but he let them roam freely city to village and mountains.

Even though they were useless.

As long as they are causing trouble to demon slayers who cares?
Also he knew Nezuko was not under his control but she let her fight with her brother.

Because Muzan doesn't really care, that is not his goal.

'My goal is to find the blue spider lily...to conquer the sun.'
His thoughts were done when the man went flat and very drunk at the floor.

"Ara~" his woman voice suddenly reverts to his original voice with the sound of death. "If he went missing nobody will look for him."

He stands there, gazing down the his food. "After all~" his hand transform to a scary monster that can swallow the human whole. "Nobody likes you."

His eyes seized and that's it.
No scream, the man was asleep.
Muzan swallowed him whole with no blood dripping.

Simply as that he was done eating.

"I won't bother to eat him if he was not a Marechi." Turning his back as if nothing happend...
Yes, that man had a marechi blood. Muzan wanted to devour him so he tricked him to drink and play with 'her'.

It was worth it, with this he won't have to be hungry for a while. He can build his new identity here as a wonderful head entertainer.

Muzan did not need to do effort to fuse here. Because his upper moon demon named Daki cleared the path for him to become the mama-sang in a certain household for prostitute. Muzan is a classified as highest and so is Daki. They can boss people around without much work.

"Good eve Tsukihi-sama." The girls bowed at him and he bowed back, "Good eve." He lied that he cared about that. Not much to say, Muzan quickly walks away and entered his room. "Rui is dead." Muzan sats at the pillow on his room. "All the lower moon has been erased." He ponders, "From now on am Lady Tsukihi the head of this bar." He made a smug at the mirror he was facing all this time as he speaks.

The beautiful lady Muzan acts like a witch in the mirror when he asks. "Looks like am indeed perfection~? Yes am." Muzan likes to be called handsome and beautiful.
He was a sucker for praise and compliments.

But then, someone bothered his peace.

"Please help!" A voice of a young boy.

"Hm?" Usually Muzan doesn't give a damn, but he was curious why a boy would say 'help'. It was coming from his room's backyard. Muzan opens his door.
This side of door is where the open garden of his backyard is, the moment he opened it his world stopped. As if his blood run out cold.

There he is...is fate being a bully?

Like they say the person you want to avoid the most, is most likely you will cross paths.

Tanjiro looks like shit by his beaten appearance. He had Kamado Nezuko at his arms. It looked like they were in trouble. Tanjiro noticed the sliding door was opened, at first he didn't pay attention to the 'woman'. He hurried to run forward and gestured to give Nezuko to her care.

"E-excuse me!" He was pleading, he had terrible sweat and by the looks of it his jaw and probably other parts of his body are broken bones.

"Please!" Again he said, Muzan blinks and looks at him dumbfounded when he bothered to explain briefly his situation why he had such a desperate yell.

"Me and my sister are being chased...! At very least please hide my sister...!" He placed unconscious Nezuko at the flooring of Muzan's room.

It finally registered to Kibutsuji Muzan who was this boy. 'Sumiko's reincarnation! Kamado...Tanjiro!'

Almost, almost Muzan's nails grow...He was going to attack him in self defense.
But then again Tanjiro said it. "I will pay you back! Please let my sister stay here! I will be back!"

What...?

'Wait...he does not recognize me?' From the memories of the demons Tanjiro slain,he had a kin of smell. Muzan is wondering why Tanjiro is not able to sniff his scent as a demon when he did traced him in Asakuza Tokyo.

That is where he noticed.

Tanjiro's jaw is not the only broken in his face. 'Hm?' Still not saying anything, lady Muzan stared at Tanjiro's nose.

'Ahh, I see...his nose is injured during his battle with Rui. But if I treat him he will find out my identity. Which leads to another shape shifting...it will be bother some if he finds out too quickly. I know, I will use the drug Daki had shared with me...I will put that to his nose for him not to recognize scent just like in Asakuza tokyo...' His nails shortens back, Tanjiro did not even sense that nor notice. He was busy on his surrounding. 'What an idiot is he?' Well this is going to be fun.

Deep inside Muzan is smirking,he used his woman voice to trick Tanjiro more.

"Alright, I can keep her."
Hearing the woman said it without any reaction of fear, Tanjiro smiles brightly before he hurried to run away from this backyard. "Thank you!"

Badump...))

Somehow, Muzan's heart fluttered.

'How familiar...' because it looked like Sumiko's smile of gratitude, it was annoyingly good.
"I will be back!" Says Tanjiro as he run the opposite way.
With no effort, Muzan lifted sleeping Nezuko inside and put her to bed.

Shortly Muzan heard loud voices what it seem to be lower rank of demon slayers.
"He went over there! Chase him! The traitor!"

'Traitor?' Muzan repeated in his mind and walks back to the backyard, the door is still open. His eyes narrowed when indeed there is at least two weakling demon slayer running around this red night district.

But this is a mystery. Why is Kamado Tanjiro called traitor?

When Rui died, Muzan had no idea what happend next. And of course, he is about to find out further if Tanjiro will really come back for her sister. "If he does not comeback I will just devour her useless little sister." Even though that sounds scary, Muzan is smiling.

He was excited to mess with the reincarnation of Tanjirou Sumiko.

"Very interesting~"
He just hope he won't be bored.

...
The night is still long if you stay at red light district.
After all it is very noisy like a festival is always here. Not only cheers of drunk people,moaning of cat in heat...as well arguments of some no classed customers and competitors.

Muzan is patiently waiting at the backyard, sitting and gazing at the moonlight.
Finally he heard the grass,someone stepping on them.

"There you are boya~" in his woman voice he greeted the rag rat looking Tanjiro in his demon slayer uniform with torn up haori.
He was panting and seems to have run around the city. "I-I'm back..."

Tanjiro slowly approached Lady Muzan who did not display suspicion. Tanjiro actually wonders why but he was more thankful for granted that this woman is kind enough to keep Nezuko for him despite not understand why they were being chased.

"Your sister is inside." Muzan leads him inside, "Follow me."
Too tired to even find it suspicious, Tanjiro nods weakly but he had that smile again.
A thankful smile. "T-thanks!"

Going inside, Muzan closed the sliding door. Tanjiro forgot his manners that his slippers are dirty. He did not take them off, he runs to Nezuko's sleeping figured and hugs her. "Nezuko!" Crying and idiotically unarmed.

Muzan watched how Tanjiro loved his demon sister. "Thank goodness you are alive...!" He sobs and rubs his cheeks to Nezuko's cheeks. Kamado Nezuko is asleep for some weird reason that Muzan himself never encountered.

'A demon whose not violent.' Nezuko is not even an upper moon to even gain her own will. This is indeed going to be an experiment for Muzan.
Also... 'To break him slowly~'

Who said Muzan is not planning to hurt Tanjiro? Of course he would. He is ought to avenge himself. Tanjiro will compensate for Sumiko's betrayal to him that he pretended not to get over.

Clearly he couldn't moved on.

"U-um...!"

Lady Muzan blinks, and found Tanjiro on his front. "Sorry!" Tanjiro crouches down, before he can even stop him...Tanjiro is doing a dogeza?

'Huh?'

Muzan did not understood, so he waited for Tanjiro to explain himself. "Sorry for the trouble of invading your property and forcing my sister to be hide up here! A-and...my dirty slippers..." Muzan looks at the floor and saw the floor has been dirtied.

Muzan hates dirt.

Even though he did not mean to snap, even though he planned to be nice...Lady Muzan scolds Tanjiro.

"Clean it!" More like it was an order. Tanjiro flinched and immediately took off his haori and begun rubbing the floor. "Y-yes mam!"

Amusing.

Lady Muzan is amuse, Tanjiro is a good boy.

As Tanjiro cleans the floor with his haori his ribs hurt. "Ow!" Now he curled at the floor. "Ow..ow.." Muzan didn't look concerned, Tanjiro is busy hurting that he did not notice the woman had not moved at all to ask if he was okay. Then Muzan realize.

'Oh right...normally at this situation...' he should act like a human being whose concerned from an injured person!

"Hey...you okay?" Lady Muzan said softly and even crouches down.

Tanjiro squinting his eyes before they flutters open. That is the time Tanjiro realized the woman he had ask for help in a whim is stunningly beautiful!

"Wah!" He pulls away from Muzan's gentle pat on his back.

"I-Im okay!" He was blushing. Muzan inner grinning at that,but his real face right now is trying to copy Tamayo's frowning face."You are injured. Let us patch you up." He said. Tanjiro whose heart had calm down from the sudden close contact with a pretty lady like 'her'... Tanjiro was obedient.

"Yes please..."

...

"Ow!"
"Stop moving."
Just as planned, Muzan put the drug on Tanjiro's nose without him even realizing.

Same time, our lady Muzan is irate at how Tanjiro would raise his voice and wiggle his body every time he tried to put some disinfecting medicine and bandages all over his body.

"S-sorry!" Muzan rolled his eyes and finishes the touches. "That should do it." Tanjiro looks at the oval shape mirror that has been on the table while Lady Muzan was patching him. 'I look like a mummy...' his face had bandages to keep support of his broken jaws and his broken nose is covered. Well, he can't complain on his appearance for now. Deciding to open up a conversation.

"U-um...?" He coughs. Muzan whose visibly furrowing eyes, reverts back to emotionless ones. "What is it?" Tanjiro sits properly and faced 'her'.

"My name is Kamado Tanjiro and..." referring to Nezuko whose still asleep. "She is my little sister Kamado Nezuko." sheepishly rubbing the back of his head, "M-may I know your name is...?" Muzan almost forgot his goal. 'Ohh...' he awed. 'He almost sounds like him...' right now he was seeing Sumiko and not Tanjiro.

"Sorry!" Tanjiro says, "If you do not want to give your name to a stranger!"

He looks like a dog who made a mistake.
Lady Muzan ended up laughing. "Pff..ahaha~"

Muzan had never laugh normally. Usually he just mocks people and act happy. But this is ridiculously funny.

"Tsukihi." He starts, "Am Lady Tsukihi. The head of this bar." he ended.

It was a brief explanation. The name Tsukihi is actually derived from his old name Tsukahiro. But this time he did not use any surname, to hide that he is related to 'Kibutsuji'. Because he was him. Right now Muzan had no family to playhouse. Instead he choose to be a woman who sells her body and feast on customers. Because of course, Demon Slayer corps wouldn't have idea that he can be a woman and hide in a place such as this.

Tanjiro nods, but his smile drops as he confesses.

"Lady Tsukihi...about earlier, I said am being chased..." Tanjiro actually debated if he should say it.
Glancing at Nezuko who has bamboo gag.

'It doesn't look normal!'

Clenching his hakama pants as his demon slayer uniform is placed by his side with his torn up dirty haori.

For some weird reasons, Tanjiro wanted to explain it.

'Its ok to say it right? Since am no longer a demon slayer...more on,she won't believe me anyway. Might as well use it!' With his courage he continued.

"D-do you believe in demons Lady Tsukihi?!" Lady Muzan paused, he thought Tanjiro found out him already..., "I'm not sure." Was his first lie to the boy.

Tanjiro is determined to tell more. "A-actually am a demon slayer! B-but..." he was trembling a bit. "My sister...she became a demon, and to stop her from devouring any humans." Sadness reflected on his eyes that Muzan followed where he was looking.

It was distant.

"The bamboo gag stops her from that act." Lady Muzan was silent, Tanjiro already scold himself. 'Now she thinks you are crazy!' It is not like he never warns people about demons. Back at the swamp demon, only one person believes demon exist because his fiance was taken.
It is just Tanjiro didn't want this woman to question further.

"By demon slayers...hmm so you are wanted?" Lady Muzan hummed in a guest to summarize his story.

Tanjiro shake his head violently."I-I'm not a criminal or anything!" He proceed to shook his head.

"My only sin was.. I kept my sister alive...they wouldn't understand." Muzan still sound un-interested, but Tanjiro is not looking at 'her'.

"Hmm fine. Let us say I believe your story." Another lie Muzan made with not much effort. Muzan did not need to sympathize, he just had a blank expression and contemplating eyes. Tanjiro did peek at Tsukihi's eyes. The lady looked bored. "So where are you going now?" Was her question. Tanjiro couldn't answer. He slump his shoulders. "I..I actually have no idea." Then his stomach made a sound.

GROWLS~

Red face.

Lady Muzan chuckles.

"Ara~ara Tanjiro-kun. What a hungry boy~" he teased him as 'lady Tsukihi'.
Tanjiro admits in embarrassment. "Y-YES!"

Lady Muzan went to get some 'human' food and didn't comment much about the siblings.
Kamado Tanjiro doesn't have any idea that he was with the man he hated.

After having a nice meal, lady Muzan told him to take a bath tomorrow since he still had open wounds. So Tanjiro sleeps at the futon next to Nezuko. Lady Muzan told Tanjiro to rest because 'she' till have customers and work to do. Not asking what kind of work, Tanjiro drifted to sleep without dreams.

The next day...it was morning of course. But lady Tsukihi was nowhere in sight.

Tanjiro found a note that is most likely from lady Tsukihi since there was a food tray and it says 'take a bath'.

"Tsukihi...san." Tanjiro had not question yet this hospitality. He will do anything to survive and keep Nezuko safe at all cost.

Tanjiro had stayed at the room and sometimes daydreamed at the backyard. It was weird no one is visiting Tsukihi's room.

'Maybe she ordered them not to visit her because she had strangers occupying the room?'

At morning, Red light district is very quiet. Everyone is asleep at morning but not a night.

"Aaah~" Tanjiro stretches up and closed the sliding door. He is done idling in the backyard and went back to Nezuko whose now inside the box.
"From here on...I need to hide." He says to the box. "Do not go anywhere ok?" Smiling at the box, he imagines that Nezuko is asleep or awake.

To be honest she had been asleep. It's not like it was the first time she went to sleep. Tanjiro just hopes it won't take another 2 years for her to wake up.

"Nezuko."

Night came...

The place is noisy.

"Welcome back!" Tanjiro greets lady Muzan who entered their room. "I see you still wearing that hakama pants." Muzan pointed out how he dislike it. "Here."

Placing a checkered green and black kimono, Tanjiro's eyes widen. "Eh?" Tsukihi grins, "Your clothes." When Tanjiro unfolds it, it was a clothing for girls...!
"B-but why this?" Even though it is rude to say that, Tanjiro is confuse why lady Tsukihi will make him wear female clothing.

Muzan narrowed his eyes before they closes. He explained to the stupid former demon slayer.

"You said you were being chased~"

Tanjiro nods and is still puzzled.

So Muzan proposes his plan. "Men is not allowed in here unless you are a customer." He stated, "Also, I'm not keeping you for free. You have to work." When Tanjiro heard the word 'work'.

'Wait...work? Me...? But this place is...' this place is red light district.

It clicked to him, immediately Tanjiro was burning shyness and covered his body that is still wrapped like a mummy.

"Y-you mean s-selling my body?!"

Lady Muzan chuckles, "Silly~" he lifted Tanjiro's chin and breath softly with teasing evil smirk.

"You are just going to cross-dress. But by work, you will be a maid here." To hear that he won't have to do intercourse or entertain people. Relief was there. "I-I see..." Accepting the kimono that almost identical to his haori.

Tanjiro is done putting them on.

Lady Muzan is in a good mood, this Tanjiro is funny. More funny when he speaks.

"T-Tsukihi-san..." he shyly fidgets. "I-If am going to pretend as a girl..." wetting his lips. "Does that means I have to change name? My name is Tanjiro and that did not sound like a girl..." For a second, Muzan is lost.

Tanjiro stared at 'her' waiting for a response.

Kring...))

"A name huh..." Muzan did not meant to say it out loud. He was not ready to try it but his red lips utter the name that Tanjiro heard before.

More like, the name he was told.
A soul's name from past.

"Sumiko..."
"Eh?"

Muzan had a blank face when he said it. "How about Sumiko...? Tanjiro-kun..."

Tanjiro frozed.

Kring...))

"Sumiko?" He repeated after lady Muzan. Even though it is obvious that this is some sort of coincidence, and it is not rare to have same names...
Tanjiro cannot comprehend why of all names that is suggested to him would be that person's name.


(("My name is Sumiko...Nice to meet you 'me'."))


"Tanjiro-kun?"

"Ah!"

"I guess that was too common." Lady Muzan ponders more. "I guess we can hold your new name for a while-" Feeling bad for the woman who is doing an effort to hide his existence from the demon slayers. Tanjiro steps forward. "Its ok!" He says, making Muzan paused. "Sumiko is fine! I take it Tsukihi-san!"

'...What am doing?' Muzan asks himself,but he kept his act. "It's settled." Lady Muzan smiled. Just some memory he had a long time ago.


[["I would like to play in the sun with you Muzan-sama~!" ]]

[["Are you being serious?"]]

[["Yes! So If I saw again a shooting star...I will wish for it three times! Until then, get well!"]]

((memory from chap2))


Even though it was an act, somehow saying that name no longer holds a grudge.
More like a distant friend he always wanted to be with.

"Sumiko."
"Yes, Tsukihi-san!"

...And that's it. Lady Muzan helps Tanjiro and Nezuko to stay at his care for the meantime.
Tanjiro pretended as Sumiko for now to hide from Demon slayers.

He was wanted.
Just like how Muzan wanted to keep him like an idiot he is.

Kibitsuji Muzan, lady Muzan or basically Lady Tsukihi had no idea the simple act to toy the boy will also play him over too.


'His name is truly cursed.'
