You think I'd be completely fine with people staring at me, well it seems like it. I just stare back, no big deal...but for some reason I just can't stare back at Zenitsu, it's impossible!

Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke are going on a journey, somewhere in this mountain...more demons I assume. Hope they stay safe.

A/N: at this point, this story has NOTHING to do with the show anymore, it's just my own storyline now lol

ZENITSU'S POV

We stopped somewhere in the way to the mountain, it was the middle of the day but Tanjiro said we need rest for tonight, that's when the demons show. I mean makes sense.

I layed down on the ground, now that I think of it, I'm actually pretty tired to be honest.

I felt a thump behind me, I rolled over, "is it alright if she stayed by you, I mean I just don't want her to be the first target if any demon comes near me," Tanjiro said placing the box beside me, of course I can't reject a box with a beautiful girl in it,
"Uh- yeah sure!" I'd say excitedly.

Tanjiro nodded his head then also went to lay down on the ground. I kept my eye on the box, must protect.

Is it wrong to find Tanjiro's sister gorgeous..? I mean- she really is! But she's also a demon...I find a demon attractive..it's okay I find every girl attractive, it's just another phase.

Not only is it weird but Tanjiro would kill me if I did ANYTHING to Nezuko, I wonder if she's okay being stuck in that box...

I looked around, no one was awake...so if I just opened the box a bit we'll be alright.

NEZUKO'S POV

I was sleeping at some point in time, all until I saw a little crack of light. Tanjiro? Is that you-?

I saw a hand going to open the door, didn't look like Tanjiro's hand...this hand had dark red knuckles but also sort of small. It was kind of masculine so my only guess that it was a boy's hand, maybe?

I groaned, why is someone bothering me??? If it isn't Tanjiro go away.

Could they just leave me alone...no? Okay I'll just have to kick them away. So that's what I did, I bucked my legs on the door of the box...well whoever was there wasn't anymore.

I poked my head out the box and looked around. Tanjiro and boar head guy were asleep meaning...no- IT WAS THE ZENITSU GUY!!!
I quickly swung my arms to close the door but I was too late! Zenitsu had already gotten ahold of the door before I could even reach it.

Zenitsu creaked open the door, we made eye contact and awkwardly stared in each other's eyes. There it was, the sparkle again. His eyes had a sort of ring of light circle his pupils. Was he alright? Was he gonna pass out? Am I staring too deeply at him? Am I gonna pass out? Why did his eyes sparkle again? What's happening?

Suddenly I felt his wrap his arms around me- the hell is he doing?! Two of us can't fit in this box! I shoved him away, the nerve...

I slammed the door shut before he snuck in here again and starts making out with me, gross. Tanjiro would kill him if he even found out that Zenitsu opened the door without him knowing...but at the same time he would somehow like me interacting with others, just not Zenitsu...

But he did protect me..

Maybe Zenitsu wasn't bad- NO WHAT AM I SAYING!!! He chased me around for hours! He's a pervert! He hugged me with no consent-!
But he protected me..

NO! He's weird! And loud! He's also very very annoying!!
But he protected me..

NEZUKO NO!! Tanjiro would never allow it anyway- plus I just met Zenitsu, I don't even know him..what if he's actually really sweet, kind and not a perv after all...he's already really caring- NO STOP
He DID protect me..
Give him a chance
Never
But he protect-
Doesn't matter
Yes it does
One chance....
No- never!
What am I saying?!
Maybe just...
NO
WHAT DO I DO?!?!!

It was already morning- I stayed up all night thinking, not good. Wanna know how I knew it was morning? I could hear Tanjiro, boar head guy, and Zenitsu all fighting and arguing and stuff.

Maybe I can crawl out of the box and see everyone, Zenitsu won't attack me, will he?

I slowly opened the door of the box and crawled out. When I looked up I could see all three of the boys staring at me, once again, awkward. I stood up and took my normal size back, crazy how much I change when I leave the box. Even the world changes- the box is so dark, stuffy, and cramped- outside the box is light, fresh, and spacey.
"Nezuko!" I turn my head and see Tanjiro smiling at me.

Just as I thought- Zenitsu was also staring at me, I groaned or made whatever noise I make. I don't know, I hate how I can't even talk- stupid bamboo.

The boar head dude was also staring at me- did he have a real face or was that his face, was he half boar half human??? We'll never know...unless.

I walked over to boar head guy and put my hands on each sides of his head. There was noises coming from Zenitsu, how surprising. I slid the board head off of him and revealed a beautiful face- WAS BOAR HEAD A GIRL- no..I mean- not really possible.....

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Boar head guy said snatching the boar head from my hands, I stumbled back.

Tanjiro and Zenitsu quickly ran in front of me, "don't hurt the pretty lady!!" Zenitsu would cry out,
"She's just curious Inosuke!!" Tanjiro yelled.

Inosuke? So boar head guy DOES have a name.

Bad idea of them to stand up for me because now Inosuke and Tanjiro were tackling each other, but I mean, I'm honestly not surprised again.

Zenitsu turned to me, great- more eye contact. Does he want something from me? Could he just- shoo?

Before I knew it I was holding hands with Zenitsu and outside...running with him-? The heck-

Where in the world where we going?

He was dragging me to the top of a hill...I saw him pick a small flower from the ground, it was alone, just a single flower. He put the flower in my hair. How...sweet?

My mind went blank and now I was moving my hands towards the bamboo on my face, huh? I couldn't stop myself...I was pulling the bamboo off my face. I was exposing my mouth!!

Zenitsu wrapped his arms around me, this is going way too fast- wait a minute?! How am I not breaking this, I'm just letting it happen!! I could see his face slowly getting closer to mine, my eyes flickered closed....was this gonna be my first kiss..this soon..? I felt so light and free...my first- love..? I leaned in closer..

"Nezuko-? Nezuko...NEZUKO-!?" My eyes burst open...I wasn't outside- I WAS STILL IN THE SAME ROOM AS BEFORE?! Zenitsu was giving me a concerned look, I felt my face, the bamboo was still on my face...what just happened?! Did I just- daydream?? That never..happened..

I mean it's not like I care- good thing it didn't happen pfft..

"You okay?" Zenitsu would say clearly trying to sound brave.
Was I okay-?

I mean part of me wanted that to be real but I also don't want it to be real...maybe I'm just desperate for love, I mean it can't just be Zenitsu I think of..what about Inoksuke?! No- nope- no no bad idea..not Inosuke..

Am I falling in love..but I'm a demon and he's a human- can't be possible, he's into pretty girls, not demons..plus, I'm probably no where near his standards.

Do my eyes sparkle when I'm around him?? I have no clue, his did..NO I CANT BE THINKING OF LOVE!!! MORE IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON THAN LOVE!

I shook my head slightly then looked back at Tanjiro.
"I'll just..leave you be.." Zenitsu said, turning his back to me and breaking up the fight between Tanjiro and Inosuke.

I stared at Zenitsu, great I'm the creep now..he looked back at me and flashed a smile at me, the same ring of light on his eyes when I looked into his eyes...

How do I even explain this to Tanjiro..
