Tanjiro POV

Kanao flipped her coin, again. "I guess it wouldn't hurt anyone if we went to the backyard." She replied, nonchalant. As soon as we were out there, I made a coin flipping action and stuck out my hand. Kanao reluctantly lent me her coin. I wrote in the dirt, asking why she flipped it. She simply replied, "I flip it while I'm not under orders, deciding what I do and don't do." I then wrote, "If it lands on heads, you'll have to start following your heart!" Kanao tensed, I flipped it...

Caught it...

Tails. Kanao relaxed slightly, and asked for her coin back. Tanjiro slapped it away. He flipped the coin again...

Tails. Again!

Tails.

Every time Kanao asked for it back, he slapped her hand away, refusing. Flip...

Heads!

Tanjiro leaped around, and Kanao just stared. "That shouldn't count!" Before Tanjiro took the coin from her, and put it in his pocket. "Wait!" Kanao shouted, "That's not fair!" As Tanjiro suddenly bent and wrote in the dirt, "You just spoke without your coin, and properly denied my action." Kanao stared at this inscription, realizing it was true. Tanjiro tossed the coin back, Kanao easily caught it. She stared at it in awe, and looked up, she realized Tanjiro had quickly covered the distance. She looked up, straight into Tanjiro's eyes. They sparkled with happiness. Tanjiro leaned in and gave Kanao a hug, Kanao still confused about all the things that happened, all so quickly. Tanjiro patted her head lightly, and then walked back inside to his room.

Was that cheating?
