After hundreds of rushed songs and millions of small stories, to the courtesy of Uzai, they had finally arrived at the Water Pillars estate.

But they had been surprised, seeing a familiar red-haired boy...

Tanjiro.

'Guys, what are all of you doing here?'
Tanjiro questioned making the Hashira freeze up.

They had forgotten all about the boy and had excluded meeting him from their plans since he was usually out trying to find a cure for his younger sister.

'Kamada, my boy!' Rengoku exclaimed. 'We didn't expect to see you here!'

He said as Mitsuri and Gyomi nervously laughed simultaneously.

'Neither did I Rengoku-san,' replied Tanjiro,  eyeing the Hashira with suspicion. They didn't come here a lot. Only about two of them have ever come here before, and the most they had done then was wait outside a few feet away.

'Ara Ara Tanjiro, what could you be doing here?' asked Shinobu, trying to avoid the earlier question.

'Oh, hello Shinobu-san, I was here to ask Giyuu-san a question about his new water form.' he replied with his usual kind smile.

'Ahh, you look so cute like that Tanjiro!'
Mitsuri said as Tanjiro blushed a bit while getting Iguro's normal death stare.

'Haha, thank you Mitsuri-san..'

She looked around, and behind Tanjiro as if expecting to see someone.

'Um Mitsuri-san what are you looking for?' asked Tanjiro, feeling a bit uncomfortable from her being so close.

'Ah, gomen! I was just looking for Nezuko, is she not with you today?'

'Well Nezuko is with Zenitsu and Inosuke!' he exclaimed, happy that he could tell someone about his friend's achievement, 'they proved that they were responsible enough to take care of her for a while so I could come here faster.'

Some of the Hashira had a slightly worried look. Inosuke and Zenitsu were not the ideal babysitters.

Though none of them spoke out their worries about it, since they had seen how happy it made Tanjiro to be able to trust his friends.

Well, almost all of them.

'We all know that Zenitsu and Inosuke are very... let's say reckless. For all, you know something bad could have happened while you were gone.'

The butterfly Pillar started, getting glares from Muichiro, and some others who all had grown fond of the boy.

Tanjiro on the other hand looked quite pale after hearing this.

'I think I forgot something back at the cabin, I'll be right back, please excuse me for leaving so suddenly!' he yelled out as he ran away, probably to check on his friends and sister.

'why'd you say that to him ?' asked Obanai, which surprised some of them. He had been so quiet that some of them thought they left him behind.

'If he had stayed, we couldn't have possibly gone through the estate, could we.' she replied.

'That's true but now the poor boy-' Gyomi was cut off by a not so loud- loud yell,

'LET'S GO IN ALREADY, THIS IS TAKING WAY TO LONG!' an impatient Sanemi had started, he was getting bored of waiting around and listening to the others. Most importantly, he had stayed quiet this whole time.

Something that did not happen often, unless there was a Hashira meeting like before.

As he yelled, he started walking into the estate.

The others saw this and went in with him.

Mitsuri, Obanai (who was only still there for his love), and Gyomi were the only ones who have stayed outside.

'Do you think we should go?' Mitsuri asked the strongest pillar.

'Though it would be disrespectful to go in without permission from Tomioka, it would also be wrong to just let them go in when they very likely could get caught or lost.' he replied while Mitsuri squealed.

'Your so caring Himejima-san!!' she exclaimed,
'Your right, let's go in!'

They went in, Obanai glaring at Gyomi for a bit.

Extra part:

Tanjiro ran all the way to his team's resting place, only to be greeted by a crying Zenitsu and screaming Inosuke.

They looked as if they had a large fight. Nezuko was also standing next to Inosuke, looking dazed and a bit confused.

He turned to the kitchen to see a giant mess.

It looked like they had tried to cook. (and failed miserably.)

What got Tanjiro to get to the point where he was, however, was seeing his special family heirloom, the earrings, on the floor covered in a weird substance.

He was ticked off.

'WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!' 

'I TRUST YOU TO TAKE CARE OF NEZUKO AND THE CABIN FOR NOT EVEN AN HOUR, AND YOU DO THIS!'

This time even Inosuke was feeling a bit threatened for his life.

You can guess what happened next.
