Gyuatro walked home, deep in thought. What were the chances that he and Ume were somehow related to the Master? His feelings had been right every time. And One hundred percent accurate. He'd looked this up before, this was called a Premonition. He remembered what Kagaya had said shortly before he'd left: "You and Tanjiro have been through a lot so quickly Gyutaro. Why don't you take a few days off and spend some time with your Siblings?" he appreciated the offer. It had been a while since he and his three younger Siblings got to spend quality time with the rest of their Brother's and Sister.
"Almost there Ume. We can spend some time with everyone over the next few days" he said. "I can't wait" Ume replied happily from her box. It made the green-haired young man smile. The fact that Ume was still so much like her old self. Now if only Nezuko was as well. Oh well, at least the younger Demon wasn't rampaging or trying to eat anyone. Then his thoughts turned to how his power worked. Gyutaro wondered if he should tell his Siblings about this new power. Soon their house came into view. He smiled and looked down at the packet of money in his hand, thinking everything he could get for his Siblings. New toys, clothes-
The green-haired 27-year-old froze, eye wide as he remembered how Ume and Nezuko's clothes look now. Tattered and torn, he's surprised that they've lasted as long as they have. Gyutaro winced, just because their Sister's were Demons, didn't mean he should neglect them! The Oldest Kamado opened the door to the smell of his youngest Sister cooking dinner. His other Siblings look up from where they are setting the table. "Gyutaro! And Ume! How did it go?" Shigeru asked curiously. "It went well. How were you all today?" Gyutaro asked. "Good, we played with Tanjiro and Nezuko mostly. How was your talk with the Master?" Takeo replied.
"It went well. He also gave me the wages he owed myself and Tanjiro for our defeat of two of the 12 Kizuki" Gyutaro replied, taking out the large bag's of money. Tanjiro walked up from where he and Rokuta were sitting and took his payment, "wow, all this is really for me? Well, for us?" he asked in amazement.
"It is. I was thinking, now that we have some money, why don't we do some shopping? Both Ume and Nezuko need new clothes and we need more food for everyone. And there's a night Market in the nearby town, so our Sister's can come choose their own clothes. What does everyone think? Since we have a few days off Missions as well, Tanjiro and I don't need to worry about that either" Gyutaro suggested. "Yeah, sounds like a great idea. Let's just eat, then we can get ready to go" Tanjiro agreed".

After dinner, the Siblings pulled on their Winter clothes, since it was a pretty cold that night and went out to the Cart. Tanjiro looked it over. It looked like the younger kids might fit. But only barely. "We're going to need a bigger Cart soon" he said, as Ume and Nezuko helped their Siblings into it. "Maybe we can ask the Master for a bit more money to buy a new Cart?" Ume suggested. "No, we should have enough. The money we've gotten from killing 2 of the Lower Rank 12 Kizuki, should cover everything, after all, we're only buying fairly cheap Kimono and some food. We should have enough leftover for a Cart" Gyutaro replied.
Soon, he was pulling the Cart to town, while Ume, Nezuko and Tanjiro walked beside it. "Now everyone, make sure you stay together. No one wants anything to happen to anyone, right?" Gyutaro asked. All the younger kids agreed, to their Older Siblings satisfaction. "We won't run off" Takeo said. "Good. Now, just in case something happens, I want you to stay in pairs. Hanako and Takeo, you're with Ume, and Shigeru and Rokuta will go with Tanjiro. I'll look after Nezuko tonight. Does everyone understand their group's?" Gyutaro asked.
Everyone made sounds of agreement, "good, remember, it's alright to look for some little extra things, but we mainly need new Kimono's for Ume and Nezuko, as well as more food tonight, okay?" the Oldest Kamado asked. Everyone nodded and Gyutaro gave everyone some money to spend. The groups then split off.

The Siblings spent the night shopping and occasionally bumping into each other. Gyutaro looks through various Kimono, before finding one with Sakura flowers decorating it, with a green Obi to match. He held it up, "what do you think Nezuko?" he asked his little Sister.
Nezuko looked it over slowly, before smiling with her eyes. Gyutaro smiled gently back, patting her head, "okay, we'll get you this one" he replied. As he bought the Kimono, and went to buy some rice, he noticed a woman with shaggy brown hair and white, pupiless eyes standing at a food stall. 'Isn't that, that woman who was at Final Selection?' he thought to himself, wondering if he should talk to her.
However, he had a growing bad feeling, causing all of his senses to sharpen. Turning towards the fields surrounding the town, Gyutaro decided to go see what was causing it this time. Suddenly a terrified scream rang out. It was feint due to all the sounds from the Market, but since Gyutaro's senses had heightened in response to his premonition, he was able to hear it as clear as if it were right next to him. And recognise the voice as well. "Shigeru!" he cried, terrified for his younger Brothers, as he sucked in a Total-Concentration breath and shot through the crowds, ignoring all of the indignant cries and protests as he pushed through them.
The only thought in his head were for his Brothers, 'Shigeru, Rokuta, hold on! Tanjiro, please be safe too!' Gyutaro begged in his thoughts. However, in his intense focus, Gyutaro didn't notice Nezuko running beside him, or that the woman had grabbed her hidden Katana, and raced off ahead of them.
Ư*Ğ.Ķ
Gyutaro made it to where his premonition was the strongest, at the edge of the town near a lake. It was there he found Shigeru and Rokuta cowering at the trunk of a tree, Shigeru clutching his younger Brother close protectively, even as his face was pale with fear, and his wide eyes were filled with terrified tears. Tanjiro stood in front of them, scratches and cuts all over his body, even as he held his sword out in front of him. He ran forwards to try and kill the Demon, but when he slashed at him, the creature turned into black smoke and his blade passed harmlessly through it. The Demon returned to solidity while running, heading towards their Brothers.
Both Gyutaro and Tanjiro cried out, as Shigeru and Rokuta screamed. Despite his terror, the Older Boy covered his 7-year-old Brother with his own body in a desperate attempt to protect him. Gyutaro is moving, even though he knows that he can't make it in time. Flashes of their Mother's dead body fill his mind, as he screamed- the girl shot passed him, sword whistling through the air like wind, and the Demon's head goes flying, as though caught in a maelstrom. Everyone is frozen as it thumped to the ground, fading into ashes as it did. The girl stopped in front of Shigeru and Rokuta, looking down at them, "are you both alright?" she asked.
Just like that, Gyutaro and Tanjiro are able to move again and both rushed over to their Brother's. "Oh my God, are you both alright? Are you hurt?!" Gyutaro cried, immediately checking over both boys as soon as he reached them. "N-no. We're o-okay" Shigeru replied shakily. Tanjiro started wailing, clutching both his little Brother's close in his arms, "oh thank God! I was so scared that I'd mess up, and you'd both-" he sobbed, before breaking down into cries. Shigeru and Rokuta both began crying as well, before Gyutaro drew all three of his younger Brothers into a hug, "I'm so glad that you're all okay" he breathed in a shaky sigh.
After a moment, Gyutaro released the three boys from his hug and stood up to face the other Demon Slayer. "Thank you so much for saving our Brother's. I don't know if we'll ever be able to thank you enough" he said with a relieved smile on his face. The woman smiled back, looking down at the three Brother's who were still hugging each other, "it wasn't a problem. It's our job to protect Civilians from Demons after all" she replied. "My name is Gyutaro Kamado. These are three of my younger Brothers, Tanjiro, Shigeru and Rokuta. Can I ask your name Miss?" Gyutaro asked, as his three Brothers slowly stood up. "Sure. It's Renho Kanahe. Nice to meet all of you" the now named Renho said.
