❝Lakira, let's go to a hot springs together, I bet Nezuko will like it!❞
✿✾❁❀Lakira and Tanjiro smiled at each other as they hobbled their way out the city.
"Tanjiro... Maybe you should rest." Lakira looked at Tanjiro who was using his blade as a cane.
"I'm fine Lakira, it's only a broken bone" Lakira stared at him,
"Bones..." she put her hand on her hip, "Just let me carry you." Tanjiro blushed as he lifted a hand,
"No, you've done too mu-" Tanjiro felt Lakira's hands grab his thighs as she hoisted him onto her back without any struggle, "Ah- Lakira you don't need to!" She started walking and Tanjiro sighed, 'She's not gonna let me go... But' he thought, referring to the hold on his legs, 'This is a lot better than before...' Tanjiro smiled as he placed his head on her shoulder, "Thank you, Lakira"
Lakira felt a chill down her spine, "No worries, that's what friends are for" she shifted his legs to her hips, "And besides... You're not that heavy." He glanced at her,
"I'm not?" Tanjiro questioned earning a nod, the boy sighed and wrapped his hands around her neck, 'theirs that sweet sent again...' he glanced at her seeing her normally relaxed face slightly lifted, 'Glad she's enjoying herself.' They walked- Lakira carried Tanjiro into a village they looked around seeing a hot springs, Inn, and clothing stores, the best marketing strategy. Tanjiro frowned and slid off Lakira and held her hand.
His face held a sour look as he checked his pockets, only dirt and an empty tin was sitting in them, 'Nothing... I can't even thank her now.' He looked at Lakira who was walking him towards the "Lakira" Tanjiro called softly, "I can't afford to stay in this ryokan with you... I don't even have enough for food" He looked away embarrassed that he couldn't pay for her needs, "We'll have to rest in a cave" Tanjiro's bird laughed at him as he spoke "I'm sorry..." Lakira shook her head, "Hu?"
"Tanjiro, don't worry." Lakira smiled and pulled him closer, "I got it covered, don't worry you big pretty head," Tanjiro blushed and his eyes sparkled,
"R-really?" Tanjiro tightened his lips and puffed out his cheeks as he recalled the two words Big and Head, "My head isn't that big!" Tanjiro huffted as they walked to the desk and a young woman with a black kimono bowed,
"Welcome, How may I help you." Lakira smiled as Tanjiro looked at her before flinching,
"Uh yes.... We'd like." he glanced at Lakira who stuck up one finger, "One room, a nice one near the hot spring please." the lady smiled her green eyes and batted her short lashes,
