Hi guys! I'm back. I'm sorry I didn't post at all recently, so here it is! An extra-long chapter just for you guys! Enjoy!

Standing in front of me was a young girl, about my age, who I had never met, with her face as red the ripest tomato if I've ever seen one.

I tilted my head. "Are... you okay?"

She gasped and looked at me with wide eyes. "Ye-yes," and ducked her head low, "my name is Kana-"

"Kana! It's been so long!" Zeniba cut in. 

I examine Kana and find a katana at her side. "Kana, I'm not sure you're allowed to be carrying that around town, if anyone else finds that, you'll get in big trouble." I point to her katana.

Zeniba nodded, and I don't miss the way the two glared at one another. "Oh. This thing? That's a total fake."

"It doesn't look fake to me."

"Kana's been really into cosplaying and dress up recently, and when she cosplays, she does it hardcore, am I right? Now give that fake katana here Kana." Zeniba extends his hands.

"I cannot allow that, as I must use it to slay the demons we encounter." Kana shook her head.

I burst out into laughter. "I see know. You really are a hardcore cosplayer!"

Kana blushed and ducked her head.

As we started walking Kana opened her mouth to speak, when suddenly their facial expressions twisted into scared and angry expressions.

"Tanjiro you should know better than to leave the house without putting sunscreen on." A hand landed on my shoulder.

"Ah! Master, I forgot, sorry." I turned my face toward the smirking Muzan who was intently staring at my newly made friends. However, I decided to ignore their facial expressions, and asked, "Kana! What was it you wanted to tell me?"

Kana withdrew her so-called "fake sword", which to my shock, turned out to be the real deal, and answered. "Get behind me Tanjiro. We've come to save you. This man is dangerous. We might not stand a chance against him, but at least we're in a place full of audiences. He wouldn't dare try anything whilst people are watching."

"I'm sorry, what? how am I supposed to trust you when you lied to me, and I'm fine, so put your sword away. I don't need it."

Suddenly large arms wrapped around me gently, and I feel my face start to heat up. "I'm sorry, but Tanjiro belongs to me, and solely me. I have no intentions of sharing him with anyone."

My friends to one look at my face and looked mortified, but they understood and backed down. "So... what happened? I'm confused are we still going or not?" Inoskack questioned as he came from a food stand. 

"I'm sorry but Tanjiro is busy now, so we're going to head back first," Muzan stated.

As we started heading back, Kana yells out. "Tanjiro! Please wait! I love you! Please don't go!" 

"I'm sorry Kana, but I cannot return your feelings, please save them for someone else."

Muzan gritted his teeth. "Useless bitch, I gonna kill her."

I looked back at my friends one more time to see a teary-eyed Kana staring at me as Muzan and I walked away into the night sky.
