After the incident on the warehouse Tanjiro was walking near Anya. The girl escorting the boy towards her house.
''Excuse me, Kamado-kun.'' Said Anya.
''What is it Anya-san?' Asked him
''its ok for you to be with a sword? Someone might think it's a dangerous weapon.'' Said Anya.
''Oh its important for me to have this. Who knows if another monster might attack.'' Said Tanjiro holding his sword.
''What about those earrings. Where did you get these?' Asked Anya.
Tanjiro just smile as he touches his earrings.
''Is a special present that has been passed by family thought generations.'' Said him.
''Oh I see.'' Said Anya.
The girl wanted to know where did her savior came from. So far Tanjiro was a very unique and different boy. He didn't even looked at her breast once, not that she wanted too, but this was the norm for most boys of their ages to do.
''And where were you born?" Asked her.
''Mt Kumotori.''
''Oh I see so you were born near Tokyo.'' Said her.
''Where is that?" Asked Tanjiro.
''Its Around 2 hours by train. Almost 8 hours by foot.'' Said Anya.
Tanjiro felt a little bit shocked. So he was 8 hours away from his home, he could away walk with no problem towards its location, but he knew that he couldn't leave at this moment, because a demon might appear soon.
'So I am a bit far away. No problem, surely someone might appear soon or later.'' Thoguht him.
''Well, this is my house.'' Said Anya.
The place looked like a standard Japanese house. For the regular person this place might be a run of the mill place, but for Tanjiro it was like a palace.
''Please let's go in.'' Said her.
''Thank you!'' Said Tanjiro
The two soon enter the house and Tanjiro was amazed to see on how someone from the city lived. He looked around in amazement as Anya just smile.
''You can seat down and relax. I will start making dinner.'' Said Anya.
''Do you live with your parents?" Asked Tanjiro.
''No, my mother died when I was at the age of five and my father works overseas.'' Said Anya.
''I am so sorry for your lost.'' Said Tanjiro feeling sad for Anya. She grew up without a mother and he didn't wanted to imagine how this must feel like.
''Its ok, I moved on and embrace life. Please Tanjiro, seat down you are my guest.'' Said Anya.
The teen put his sword down and seat on Anya couch, which felt amazing and super comfortable.
''This couch is so good.'' Said Tanjiro amazed.
''Well I am glad to hear that, just seat comfortably while I make the food.'' Said Anya.
''Uh sure.'' Said the boy a little embarrassed.
Tanjiro just seat quietly as he looks around the house. He was a bit nervous, but knew he wasn't a bother to Anya.
''This is such spacious and big. She must be rich to have this kind of place.'' Thought him.
He then saw an old family picture. A little girl which he assumed to be Anya, her parents, but there was also another girl near her in the picture and she looked just like her.
''She has a sister?'' Thought Tanjiro seeing the family picture
''Tanjiro-kun your food is ready.'' Said Anya.
''Oh coming.'' Said him.
Soon Tanjiro went to the dinner table where all the food was. It was some nice tempura, rice and vegetables.
''Here you go.'' Said Anya.
''Thank you so much!"' Said him.
''Thanks for the food!" Said the two.
The two soon started to eat the food and started to talk.
''Tanjiro, did you like my food?" Asked Anya.
''Oh yes, its really good Anya.'' Said him.
''Well I am glad you liked it.'' Said Anya.
Anya wasn't afraid of Tanjiro. Sure, might be weird that he carried around a samurai sword, but he was so far a kind and gentle guy. She really started to like him.
''Can I ask something?" Asked her.
''Sure.'' Said Tanjiro.
''Your earrings look like from something from the old Japan. Why is that?' Asked her.
''I don't know. I just think they are a relic from the past, but I am ok with that.'' Said him.
''You have an interesting and mysterious persona there Tanjiro. I like that.'' Said her.
Tanjiro just smile at that. He liked to meet new people and Anya so far was a really fun and charming girl.
''By the way what your family? Aren't they worried about you?" Asked her.
The smile of Tanjiro dropped. He remember that day, when he found most of his family butcher by Muzan.
''I had a family. First my father died when I was young and then my mom and my siblings were all…attacked savagely.'' Said Tanjiro all sad.
Anya felt like she did something really bad. She wouldn't have asked that if she didn't knew about it.
''I am so sorry about this! I didn't know and…'' Said Anya trying to apologize but Tanjiro cuts her off.
''Don't worry, I have a feeling they are in a better place. Besides I still have a sibling, my young sister Nezuko is still alive.'' Said Tanjiro thinking of his sister.
''Is Nezuku safe?'' Asked Anya worried.
''She is…with good people, the ones I trust and now love like a family.'' Said Tanjiro thinking of Zenitsu, Inosuke, Aoi, the girls and kanao.
Anya just smile at that. Despite having worst than her, Tanjiro still remain optimistic and full of hope.
''I am so sorry for your family Tanjiro. '' Said her.
''Its ok, I learned to move on. I am alive to keep their spirits going, I am going to protect my sister from any harm to come!'' Said him all serious.
The girl was impressed by the sheer amount of determination that the boy posed. He looked like he should be worried about school or other things, but he looked serious and determined as all hell.
''This is really amazing Tanjiro, I think Nezuko might have the best big bro in the world.'' Said Anya.
''Thank you, by the way I am sorry to ask, but I was looking at those portraits and who is that girl next to you?" Asked Tanjiro.
''That was my twin sister Erza, she was killed in a plane crash when she was 8. She was going home alone from a trip and then there was an accident. That day left me scared for years.'' Said Anya feeling super depressed.
''I am so sorry.'' Said Tanjiro feeling sympathy.
''Its ok. I also learned to move on. I can't just seat and mope, I need to have a life too.'' Said Anya.
Tanjiro just smile at that. He and Anya weren't that different, both lost relatives but they still had the will to keep going on.
''Living by yourself must be a bit lonely.'' Said Tanjiro worried.
''You get used over time, besides with school I barely have time to feel lonely here.'' Said Anya
Then the two kept eating until the meal is done.
''Thanks for the food, it was delicious.'' Said Tanjiro.
''Don't worry, I did because you save me and now you are my guest.'' Said her.
''Well I guess I need to go.'' Said Tanjiro thinking about trying to find the Demon Slayer Head base.
''And where are you going?" Asked Anya worried since Tanjiro was planning to leave that late at night.
The boy thought a little bit and it was indeed late. He was tired and had no idea where to go from the big city back to base, beside there might be demons on the way.
''I don't know.'' Said Tanjiro.
Anya then felt that this guy had no place to go, no idea and was pretty much lost all around. So she got an idea in her head.
''If you want you can sleep here for a time.'' Said her.
''Really?! You would let me stay here. I don't want to be a trouble.'' Said Tanjiro.
''No, its no problem at all. You saved me, you are decent guy and I have a feeling I can trust you.'' Said Anya with a smile.
The boy felt a huge sense of happiness inside of him. That was one of best things anyone has ever done to him, offer home and food while stuck in a whole area that he didn't know about it.
''Thank you so much.'' Said him bowing.
The girl just smile at that. Tanjiro was really polite and nice, just a bit too polite.
''How about you take a shower first? I will give you some of my father pajamas.'' Said her.
''Oh no, I don't want to use his clothes without his permission.'' Said Tanjiro.
''Nonense, he is not going to be home for another 7 months. Better than just let it rot.'' Said Anya.
The boy soon receive the clothes, a towel and some products.
Tanjiro soon went to what Anya said to be the bathroom, but it looked to modern to him. He looked at the shower in odd and wonder what was going on.
''This is her bathroom?'' Thought him.
He then took off his clothes and made the water come. He was a bit weird out, because he never took bath like this before, and it was a new experience.
''People of the big city sure are fancy.'' Thought him.
Later
Anya soon prepared the spared room of her house for Tanjiro. He was still feeling a bit weird out, but Anya insisted in him staying.
''Here it's your room.'' Said her.
''Oh thank you.'' Said him.
''I will make sure that your bed is clean every day.'' Said her.
''Thank you.'' Said Tanjiro.
Tanjiro then saw his Demon Slayer Uniform. All cleaned and smelling like flowers, however he saw something was missing…. his sword.
''Where is my sword?" Asked Tanjiro worried.
''Don't worry is over there in the corner. I guess you´re not that great in view?" Asked Anya with a smile.
''Oh I almost got a heart attack there.'' Said Tanjiro worried.
''don't worry, I won't take that away from you Tanjiro.''
''Thanks Anya.'' Said him..
The two just smile as they say their goodnights.
''Good night.'' Said him.
''Good night.'' Said her.
The demon slayer soon lay down on his bed. Still feeling a little worried, but he knew Nezuko was in good hand and that those two won't let anything bad happen to her.
''Well I might not know where am I, but I will try to do my best to help people out.'' Thought him.
He tried to think of other things, but his sister was the main thing that kept popping up.
''Nezuko please be ok.'' Thought him as he went to sleep.
This was more of a calm chapter. Showing on how Tanjiro will be staying and some hints about our OC. What is she? Well, we will find out later. This will be so much fun. I am not dissing Issei, because I know he is noble and brave, but it's his other side that ruin things. Tanjiro is someone that is willing to die to save the ones he loves and not for some nice tits. There is a reason why Demon is groundbreaking.
I am also doing the OVA´s once the first season is over. There were the specials and it was a fun blast to see them.
Also I got an idea for an one shot involving these two series. It would Yoriichi in this world, being immortal and becoming know as the ´´Human Sun God´´. A person that was powerful enough to make Ddraig and Albiano to stop fighting and they were afraid of him. You can't argue about the absolute power that Yoriichi had.
Don't worry about Bungo Stray Dogs, I know the perfect time to when they come and how things will play out. I hope you all are having a good time and enjoy this story.
