She stomped around the mansion with an angry aura. The floor creaked with every step she took. Her Platinum hairs bounced as she was glaring at her surroundings, trying to find someone.

"That damn boar.... He's so gonna regret this..." She muttered out as she took an handkerchief to clean her nose which was still bleeding.

A mouse ran by and she got even angry, she swiftly turned back and caught it by its tail and glared at the poor creature. "If I hear a single sound, I'll kill Everyone in this mansion. So fuck off." And let go of it.

"I've decided, I'm finding a way out of here now."

--

"Crap, Crap, Crap!!!!"

Tanjirou and Shoichi tried to get rid of the demon who was chasing after them. The burgundy haired boy could easily kill that demon, but he couldn't even get a chance to take his sword out of its sheath.

"I have to find a way where Shoichi will be safe!!" Grabbing the younger boy's shoulders, he threw himself and Shoichi in a room.

He quickly ran in front of him, at the end of the room. He turned around in a second and drawed his sword.

"Shoichi, stay behind me..." The young boy nodded, "Y-yes..."

"I'm gonna muzzle your brain through your years!" The demon said menacingly, swiping his tongue as he crawled on the woody floor. Tanjirou stopped and stared at him with scrunched nose as if had smelled something nasty and rot. Brown orbs stared at them with confusion, Shoichi had no idea what was happening. "You're Disgusting."

"Eh?"

"What?" Shoichi turned to Tanjirou with a shocked face. How could he even say that to the demon's face? Yeah, he is disgusting but wouldn't he kill them if he say and insult him that way?

"That's literally the worst way you could eat a brain." Tanjirou scrunched his nose even more. "I beg you were a pervert in your past life or as a human."

"What's with that look?!" The tongue demon yelled as he swiped his tongue towards them. Tanjirou grabbed Shoichi and swifted sideways. As the sharp thing hit the vase, it shattered into pieces. "A tongue so sharp that it can spilt a vase in two?"

They landed in a room but immediately got up. "Breath of the Water: Fourth Form: Striking tide!!" He landed across the room, slicing the demon's neck in the process. Tanjirou let out a deep breath and looked back at Shoichi, eyes wide and knees on the ground. He skipped his steps towards the young boy and helped to get on his feet. "Are you hurt?"

"Uh.. I'm not." Tanjirou let out a relieved sigh. The burgundy haired was about to leave the room before he remembered something. "Oh!" He pulled out a syringe from his haori and threw it towards the demon's fading body. The syringe sucked some of the blood out of its body. He walked and took it.

"A step closer...."

--

"What's with this guy?!" His neck would be sliced at any time but the room was spinning too much, making him a little dizzy.

A boar headed male was laughing hysterically. He spun his dual swords towards Zenitsu once again. Reflexes, Zenitsu swifted backwards and avoided the attack. "I totally understand you want to kill me, But don't! I'm on your side!!" He yelled at the teen. It hadn't been even five minutes since he defeated the Drum demon and this man showed up to kill him.

"AHAHHAHAHHA!! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME DEMON!!" The male attacked him once more. This time done for, Zenitsu grabbed his legs and threw him outside the Shoji door. He gestured Teruko to follow him as she skipped behind him.

He couldn't hear the boar's sound closer anymore. He let out a relieved sigh and started to walk around to find her brother and Tanjirou. "Don't worry, we'll find your siblings soon!" He smiled and Teruko nodded.

He heard soft whimpering close by. He put a finger on his lips and hushed Teruko, indicating to not make any noise. He was pretty sure it was a human because of the heartbeat. Stepping on the wooden floor, which could probably make a noise everytime someone waltz on it, Zenitsu managed to step ahead and open the door carefully. But the second he did so, a vase was thrown at him and hotter his head. Luckily he wasn't that hurt, just a few broken ribs.

"Kiyoshi!! We found you!" Zenitsu perked up when he heard her voice, calling for her brother. He turned his feet to them but then suddenly a strong urge to kill him swung upon him. He swiped his head to his side and pulled out his mask. Drool dropped to his chin. He wiped it of with his sleeve and put on his mask. He once again, turned to kids, who were embracing each other with tears in their eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked with a soft and concerned voice. That's when he noticed that the boy's foot was bleeding. " Not really. My leg is hurting. But still, I'm sorry for throwing that vase at you." He apologized. Zenitsu shrugged it off, "You don't have to apologise. Here, let me help-" "IS ANY LIVING BEING HERE!!?"

All the three of them flinched as one of door was slammed open, revealing a familier silver haired girl with a not-so-happy face. "Emiko..." Zenitsu sweatdropped. "Thank God you're here!! I'm so done with this Mansion!" She whined and sat down besides the kids.

"Do you know how to treat a wound?" He asked. She raised a brow, "Yes?" Zenitsu smiled beneath his mask. "Great! Can you treat Kiyoshi's wound?" He asked pointing to the bleeding cut.

"Ehhhhh? Why me? Let them do that themselves! They're grown up kids!" She turned to them, making them shiver in fear. "Emiko... Please.. for me..." Zenitsu looked at her. Finally, she understood, "Fineee.", She replied and took out some bandage from her haori.

"His blood is different from others..." Zenitsu mumbled out. "CAW CAW !! THIS IS MARECHI BLOOD!! A SPECIAL KIND OF BLOOD LOVED BY DEMON! A SINGLE MARECHI HUMAN IS EQUAL TO ABOUT 20 NON-MARECHI HUMANS!!"

A crow yelled, "This isn't Tanjirou's crow..."

"YATA!! STOP SCREAMING !!" Emiko yelled. They fought for a while as Zenitsu finally figured out why he couldn't treat Kiyoshi's wounds.

--

The four of them were walking down the hallway of the huge Mansion. Zenitsu carried Kiyoshi on his back, Emiko walked behind him with Teruko besides her.

"I'm picking up Tanjiro's sound. They both must be outside." They all hurried outside. But none of them expected to witness the sight infront of them. Zenitsu and Emiko's eyes went wide.

On the muddy ground, A blood coated Tanjirou was pinned down by a boar head guy. It was obvious that Tanjirou was trying to pull him back using all the strength he had. His eye was swollen, blood dripping down his mouth. He looked up at Zenitsu with a smile before parting his lips,

"Zenitsu.... Nezuko told me... How... you said...your sister...is important to...... you....more....than your ...own life.... And till the day...you find.... her...I swear...I won't let... this guy...or anyone... hurt you...."

His lips wobbled as he put Kiyoshi down and pulled his mask off to his neck. Emiko looked at the boar guy with anger written all over her face.

A memory of his siblings laying in their own blood washed over his mind as his Anger covered his face and eyes turned into slits.

The boar guy got out of Tanjirou's grip and kicked him harshly, making him whince in pain. "Damn you!!"

"Knock it off..."

"Huh?" He turned to the blonde who swifted towards and was in his face in a spilt second.

"I SAID KNOCK IT OFF!!"
