"Yea thanks for the help, Tanjirou Kun!" A kakushi greeted.

He tilted his head and went in for a hug.

"Aw, no problem. I was trying to run away from something, and you let me come here, so thank you!"

They let go and began walking.

"So, what were you running from?"

"Uh, that's uhm, sorta... weird I guess."

"What do you mean?"

"I sorta said something that I shouldn't have and I guess I was just scared."

The two were just taking a stroll around the estate because they had nothing better to do.

"Oh, to who?"

"Uhm, Tomioka san"

"Wow, and you haven't been kicked out or killed yet? I'm impressed."

"No no, it's not like that. It was more of something about myself. Not him really."

"Oh well, what did you say?"

"I don't think I'm ready to start telling anyone about that kind of stuff to be honest."

"Ahh, I got it!"

Tanjirou turned towards the kakushi at a halt.

"What do you mean?"

"Feelings, duh!"

"H-Huh, I don't get it."

"You like... uh-uh."

"I still don't get it." Tanjiro knew what the kakushi was talking about, but telling the kakushi things was very risky. If the kakushi was asked, then he'd have to tell the truth. All of them had to follow that rule.

"I know that you do. You just won't tell cuz we would have to tell him if he asked. Smart." The kakushi complimented, "Yea, I guess. B-But I'm not admitting anything. So to you, it's not true!" Tanjirou blushed.

{30 Minutes later}

Something was going on. Something horrible.

Tanjiro's fangs kept appearing and disappearing. His nails would come out and go back down. His pupils would sharpen. He was having trouble breathing.

What was going on?

It was humans.

He was a human for such a long time, that he hadn't gone back to his demon form in a long time. If he didn't change back, then he could have to stay as a demon forever. It was known amongst demons like Kibutsuji and the demons who trained Tanjirou.

And, he barely had time to boost his power and energy so he was constantly tired. He could only sleep if he wanted more energy like any human, but for the past two weeks, sleeping was now almost impossible. 

Every night, thoughts about his demon friends, Giyuu, Nezuko, and Kibutsuji flooded his mind. If he wasn't careful, he could almost pass out.

There was another Kakushi around the corner, and he ran to them. "U-Uhh c-can I g-get s-some wa-water, p-ple-lease?" Tanjirou begged

"Of course sir. I'll get you one immediately!"

"T-Thank y-you!" tanjirou replied.

It wasn't too long before everywhere went blurry, then black, then white.

[2 hours later, 9 PM]

The scent that Tanjirou had mastered had hit him. Tomioka's. 

But where was he?

He turned around in the bed and saw the other male beside him.

"AAAHHHH!"Tnajirou screamed so loud that the other male woke up.

"mhm, you're awake already?" He sounded a bit groggy as he rubbed his eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up."

"Yea, it's fine. Are you human yet?"

"What do you mean?". tanjirou had not looked at himself yet, so he was completely lost.

"Yea, you were a demon, so I had to keep you with me."

"O-Oh. Oh no." Tanjirou had begun to panic once he looked at himself.

"What's wrong?" Giyuu asked.

"How long was I like this?!"

"Uhm 2 hours..."

"Oh no oh no. I can't change back. What am I supposed to do? I can't go outside. I can't see Nezuko practice. I won't be there for her. I can't do anything in the day. I love the day, and... and I won't get to spend time with everyone. I didn't think-"

He was cut off by the soft lips that were laid on his.

He kissed back and 

"Giyu...  Thanks."
