As The Hashiras look down at the tied boy , Nero goes down and kneels in front of him.

Nero: This kid protected a demon ?

Shinobu kneeled down next to him .

Shinobu: Yes , he wasn't the only one either ..

She looks over at Giyuu Tomioka , The Water Hashira who was standing away from the group.

Nero: They both must have their reasons , right? Was the demon killed ?

Gyomei stepped forward.

Gyomei : No , right now the Kakushi are guarding it . Ensuring nothing happens to it.

Nero nods as he stands up . He gives one more look towards the boy.

Nero (Thoughts) : He looks Strangely Familiar ?

As Nero turned away , Kanae approached him .

Kanae: I wonder why he wanted to protect a demon, were sworn enemies to them.

Nero sat down on one of the rocks near a lake, he crossed his arms and began thinking.

???: Umm...

Kanae looked over at a pink-haired girl, she smiled .

Kanae: Is something the matter , Mitsuri?

Kanae: Is something the matter , Mitsuri?

As the flower pillar asked her a question , the girl only looked at Nero. Kanae closed her eyes , still smiling approached her ear.

Kanae (Whispered) : Don't Even Think About it ... Love Pillar

After issuing her warning to her , Mitsuri had a scared look on her face .

Mitsuri: I'm Sorry ! I'm Sorry ! I'm Sorry!

She quickly backed away and hid behind Shinobu for cover .

Shinobu: Ara Ara , you should know better,Mitsuri.

Shortly after , The time came to wake up the boy.

Tengen: Hey ! Wake Up!

As he called to the boy he began to stir , he slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw were all the hashira standing above him. As the young man tried to talk , he could hardly talk at all. As all the other Hashira's continued to argue with each other. As Nero remained quiet throughout the entire argument. Kanae sat down next to him as the others argued with the boy about him defending a demon.

Kanae: This might get out of hand , badly Nero...

Nero sat there in silence , as the arguing continued .

???: What's this I hear about a demon Slayer Protecting a Demon !

Everyone turned to the source of the voice , Nero opened his eyes and found the Wind Pillar Sanemi . Holding a massive wooden box.
