"Rest in peace," Tanjirou says clasping his hands. He had just eliminated the lower moon 5 aka Rui. He is currently on the mountain Natagumo where the lower moon had resigned.
He had successfully got a sample of his blood and killed him. Tanjirou was praying for the demon as he could see the spirits of the demon's parents.
"The sample will be great for Tamayo," he says holding it out. "Nezuko!" Tanjirou yells for his demon sister's attention.
"yes, brother?" Nezuko spoke to him. Since she was given blood from Tamayo she was praised for her ability to speak.
"let's start to head back to Tamayo! We have everything we need!" He says. Placing the box down and opening the box he motions for her to get in.
A smell had randomly appeared that had put Tanjirou in the alert. The scent has gotten closer rapidly, Tanjirou blocks the incoming sword towards his sister.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that" Tanjirou pushes back against the sword to send them back a bit to get some distance.
"do you know what your protecting?" The rave hair says. His tone was as cold as ever.
"first of all, this is my sister who is a demon," he says. "And second of all, she hasn't eaten anyone!" he defends his sister.
"how can't believe you?"
"of course, you say that" Tanjirou mutters "She hasn't attacked me yet, no?" He says growing tired of the situation.
A silence becomes over them. The raven hair hadn't spoken. He was thinking. The raven hair looks towards the side, he seems to notice something.
He suddenly gets into a stance and attacks the redhead.
"wonderful" Tanjirou sighs getting tired of staying here with the hunter. This was after all why he hadn't joined the corps.
Fighting against each other the raven hair notices the strength of Tanjirou and how he is quickly taking over him. The raven hair quickly backs away and starts to say something.
"Now Kocho!" The raven hair yells to the Kocho. Tanjirou smelled the scent of poison and the quick movement quickly turns around.
A girl with a purple butterfly brooch was charging at his sister with the intent to kill her. Shit! Tanjirou thought. Using a sword style he moves faster to knock Nezuko out of the way.
"Ara Ara. It seems that someone is breaking the corps rules" she says with a poisonous taste.
"jokes on you I'm not even in the corps!" Tanjirou says surprising the two slayers. The slayers looking closely notice how Tanjirou isn't wearing a corps uniform, but how does he have a sword?
"well either way this situation will put you on trial and either lead to the death of your sister and you," The butterfly brooch says "or punishment" She finishes with a smile. Tanjirou could smell from a mile away that it was fake.
Thinking of a way out of this predicament he suddenly recognizes the butterfly ornament with another. "Do you have a sister?" Tanjirou asks confusing the butterfly girl.
"that has nothing to do with this" a vein suddenly appears on her forehead.
sweating a bit Tanjirou continues "I remember helping out someone with a similar brooch as you, though she had them on the side of her head instead of the back" he says catching the girl to look in confusion.
"weere yo-" but she was cut off when she was knocked unconscious.
"terrible sorry miss, but I half to get back to someone," he says putting her down. The raven haired attacked after Tanjirou had knocked out the girl.
I don't know why I hadn't done this earlier. Tanjirou thinks also knocking out the raven hair.
"whew that was a close one," Tanjirou says.
"Are you ok big brother?" Nezuko asks slightly worried for her brother.
"Don't worry I'm the fine little sister. Now come on I'm sure Tamayo is getting worried about us" Nezuko climbs into the box and Tanjirou puts on the box head there a way to their destination. Being followed by a certain feathered fellow.
"we're back!" Tanjirou yells into the house. Tanjirou places down the box and opens the door so Nezuko can come out.
"Welcome back dear," Tamayo says hugging Tanjirou. Tanjirou hugs back planting a kiss on her forehead. "how did it go, you took a little longer than usual.
" ah well, I had run into two slayers," Tanjirou says "They were pretty strong, but not strong enough. I am sure they are pillars though since I have not seen any kinoe rank at their level," he says breaking away from the hug.
Tamayo nods "have you gotten the sample," She asks. Tanjirou reaches into his checkered haori to pull out the device that holds the sample.
putting the sample away in her pocket "I will examine it later how about we have some dinner, yes?" Tanjirou nods. He loved his girlfriend's cooking, she was always made the best food. Even though Tamayo couldn't taste the food, she figured it out with the help of blood (that is given with consent from the patient), and putting it inside the food gave her the ability to taste the food. Though yes there is always a slight hint of blood to it, she can still taste the food itself.
The next morning we are currently in the demon slayer headquarters. The leader's crow had just returned to give him a report on the mission.
"ah, how interesting" he speaks "it seems the demon doctor has a partner" The crow had followed Tanjirou back to the house they were occupying. The crow had recognized the blood arts when Tanjirou had disappeared into a wall.
"hmmm? Her name is Tamayo? What a nice name" The leader speaks. He had known of the demon doctor and how the demon had also the same objective. To eliminate Muzan. He had lost track of her for the last ten years.
"Please bring the pillars in for a meeting, this is a matter they should know," he says.
"wake up hun," Tanjirou says. He is as of now attempting to wake up his girlfriend. Sighing he stands up walks over to the side she was on and picks her up.
"Huh, what?" Tamayo wakes up slightly dazed. "oh good morning Tanjirou," she says hugging him around d the neck and kissing him on the cheek.
"morning!" Tanjirou says happily. He lets, Tamayo down from the bridal carrying position. "I'll wake up the others while you make dinner yes?" He says heading into a side room getting dressed leaving the door cracked so he can hear her.
"yes, I will. are you going to go searching for more demons?"
"Might as well. I won't go too far. I plan to stay here for the rest of the day after" Tanjirou says walking out of the side room in his black and green checkered haori along with a red uniform under it.
"How nice," Tamayo says going into the side room to change as well.
Oh, how lucky this is. That is what Tanjirou thought when he had not run into or smelled any demon in the area he had traveled. He was glad for it as he wanted a break for a while.
"I do wonder what those two Hashira's are doing. I do hope they are well" Tanjirou says to himself. He hadn't taken Nezuko with him due to it being a short expedition. He hopes the two pillars hadn't run been harmed by a demon when he left them.
"well time will tell, we will probably meet in the future" He mutters to himself. Though what he did not expect was meeting those two again that very day.
"Why are we even looking for these degenerates anyway?" Sanemi the wind pillar asks. He wore a corps uniform that had been unbuttoned to show the chest and scares on it. They were searching a town they were informed about that harbored the demon doctor known as Tamayo and her partner, along with one other demon.
"They are breaking corp rules, and one of them seems to have met my sister" Shinobu the pillar of insect responds to this question. She had a butterfly brooch that is worn on the back of her head, as well as a flower pattern on her haori. She wanted answers from this stranger, and how they know her sister.
"I don't care if they met your sister they are a waste of time!" Sanemi retaliates
"Orders from Ubuyashiki, you know you can't go against them," Shinobu reminds Sanemi.
"Sister! Have you found anything?" Shinobu asks.
"No sister I have not. What did you say he looked like? I have forgotten" Kanae the flower pillar asks. She wore two butterfly ornaments one on each side.
"From what I remember he has long hair that was slightly tinted with red and a scar on his forehead. He also had a black and green checkered haori with red clothing under it" She gave the best description of the male.
"I haven't seen anyone that sounds like that" Sanemi says resting on a wall.
"Doesn't he fit that description?" Giyuu says pointing in a direction. The other three looks in that direction to see a man that perfectly fits that description, said man was walking past people and greeting them. After a dispute between the four, they decide to stay back and watch the man.
After ten minutes (which the man had gotten fruits and some vegetables, along with some meat) they see him walk into an alleyway.
Ah, this is annoying. Tanjirou thought, he had sniffed out the four following him and had recognized two of them.
Ocean and anger.
The other two (two he had not recognized) consisted of flowers and hatred. It was a strange combo of scents, but nonetheless.
"I am terribly sorry Tamayo, but we're going to have some intruders," Tanjirou mutters under his breath.
As he walks through the wall he could smell the surprise coming from them.
