   Kiyomi was supporting Tanjiro since he hurt his legs. Her injuries were much severe than Tanjiro's since she was weaker, but she just hid the pain.

   "Thank you Kiyomi-san, for helping me. But I think I've burdened you. You can go, I can continue on my own.", Tanjiro smiled, grateful with her help.

   "It's okay, Tanjiro-san. you're not a burden to me. Besides, I wanna see this little demon sister you talked about!", Kiyomi smiled back. Tanjiro gave in and thanked her once again.

  At Tanjiro's master's house...

   "We're here.", Tanjiro spoke.

  The door of the house suddenly broke. Kiyomi yelped a little at the loud bang, she forgot that that was suppose to happen. There came out Tanjiro's little sister, Kamado Nezuko.

  Tanjiro was speechlessly surprised while Kiyomi rubbed her chest, trying to calm her heart down.

  "Ahhh! Nezuko, you... You woke up!!", Tanjiro yelled, which made Nezuko look at him and started running to him.

  "Nezuko...!", Tanjiro tried walking towards Nezuko but stumbled. Luckily, Kiyomi caught him before he could hit the ground.

   Kiyomi let go of Tanjiro once Nezuko started hugging him. Nezuko was awake. And the thought of it made him cry.

   "Waaahh! Why did you suddenly fall into a coma like that? You lied there in your bed and you wouldn't wake up! I thought you were dead!!", Tanjiro cried out as his master who came out of the house, named Urokodaki, joined the hug.

    "You finally came back alive!!", Urokodaki exclaimed and cried in relief.

   They hugged for a while and kept crying while Kiyomi was watching the beautiful scene and carefully coughed out blood in silence to not disturb their bonding.

   After the beautiful scene...

  "Thank you for helping my student, Kiyomi-san.", Urokodaki thanked.

  "It's fine! He was badly injured so I had to help him.", Kiyomi smiled as she pat Nezuko's head, who lied down beside her. Dream come true, I guess.

   "You're not mad or afraid of Nezuko? You know she's a demon, right?", Urokodaki said.

  "Who would be mad or afraid of this cute girl? She's soo cuuttee!!", Kiyomi squealed as she saw Nezuko shrinking and lying on her bruised lap. Kiyomi hissed in pain but didn't push her off.

   "N-nezuko! Kiyomi-san is hurt! I'm so sorry, Kiyomi-san!", Tanjiro scolded. Kiyomi giggled and told him it was okay as she continued to pat Nezuko's head.

  "I have go now. My family might get worried.", Kiyomi smiled as she carefully stood up.

  "Okay, Kiyomi-san. Thank you again for the help. I hope we'll meet again!", Tanjiro bowed as Nezuko copied.

  "I hope so too. Goodbye Tanjiro-san, Nezuko-chan, Urokodaki-san.", Kiyomi bowed back and went back on her way home.

   At Kiyomi's home...

   "Who is i-", Kiyomi's mother got surprised as Kiyomi tackled her to give her a hug.

  "Y-.. you're alive! My daughter's alive!! I knew you'd be alive!!", Her mother cried and hugged Kiyomi.

  "I'm proud of you, Mimi.", said her father as he joined the hug, eyes teary.
