which path will i choose

part 9

miss shinobu asked me if i could help train inosuke and zenitsu with kanao and aoi. i try to help them with their breathing to increase their strength.

" so you have to take a deep breath so all the oxygen travel to all your vain, until your lungs goes BOOM BOOM. and train like crazy while doing it ! "

both of them shook their heads. they doesn't seem enjoying this. what should i do.

"ara ara is inosuke can't do a little breathing exercise? "

miss shinobu appear behind them petting inosuke shoulder. this surprised them to turn around.

"gambaree zenitsu im your number one supporter"

this somehow manage to motivate them to train harder.

" I'll be training them today. you'll be having a mission with someone tonight, so you better start prepare" miss shinobu told me.

" you'll be going with tomioka giyu. also he's really quite you know, so don't worry if he ignores you, he does that to all of us, that's why he doesn't have friends " miss shinobu smiled at the part 'he doesn't have friends' i guess she really like to bully the water pillar

"get ready now, giyu will pick you up here later. ill be taking care of them. "

shinobu put both of her arm on an angry inosuke and a happy zenitsu shoulders.

i bowed down and waved at my friend. i went to my room to get ready.

the sun had already set. i wait at the garden for giyu, as i look up at the dark sky that was filled with stars.

"tanjirou you ready to leave?"

i looked at the person that called me. giyu walked towards to me.

"yes im ready to go!" i said with excitement.

"alright our crow will lead the way"
i nodded as we head off to our mission.

our journey was filled with silent. I don't know if i should start a conversation. miss shinobu did say that the water pillar was a quiet type.

" so tanjirou why did you join the demon slayer corp " giyu asked, which surprised me a bit. " a demon kill my family and i heard about the final selection, so i decided to join " well half of it was true, tho i hope he doesn't know that i lied. making a straight face when i lie is so hard.

" multiple demon multiple demon caw". our crow tell us as they fly around at the sky

" i think we should split up, ill go that way you go the other way".

giyu ran as his crow guide him to the demon direction. i followed my crow as it guide me to the other demon

we gonna skip the fighting scene on this one cus im not good at writing it.

as i finish off the demon i went to find giyu. i found him, it looked like he was searching for me as well.

" all demon have been killed. all demon have been killed. you are allowed to rest. caw"

the birds said as they land on our shoulders.

" we can rest at my house. its not that far away " giyu offered.

i nodded and follow him as he lead me to his place.

we arrived at his house. he offered a room for me to sleep.

"are you going to sleep too tamioka , is there something thats bothered you?"

" how did you know? "

" i have a strong sense of smell i can even tell anyone emotions" i explained

" well i was planning to talk to you at morning, but i guess right now is alright".

he sit down and i follow him.

" so what is it that you wanted to asked"

" tanjirou where did you learn your breathing technique, yours looked similar with the flame breathing but a bit different "

" is was past down in my family from generation to generation. in form of a dance "

" a dance? "

" yes it was put into a dance so it was easy to be passed down. my family do this dance every new year night."
i said with proud.

" have you ever heard of friendly demon "

i was surprised and scared to hear that. does he know im a demon.

" yes i heard "

" have you meet them? "

" no "

" do you believe that there are such thing as a friendly demon "

i took a moment to answer this one." yes i do."

giyu stopped asking for a while. " can you perform the dance you told me about " im surprised at his request but i accept it.
