Head bent from exhaustion on the way home-

Shizen's Pov;

Ara~ it seems like Tanjiro's tired. I asked if he wanted me to carry him but he declined. He says that all the demons tried to kill him before he could ask them how to turn a demon back into a human.

"Well, it's no surprise. Not many demons know how to turn demons back. Especially younger demons."

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes.

"Forgive me Nezuko.."
He mumbled quietly.

"Your best bet is a demon older than a few centuries, but they're probably not going to negotiate anything.."
I put my arm around as I helped him balance as he almost fell.

"You feel heavy right? Let's get home as quickly as possible Tanjiro."
I said help him get up.

We began walking slowly, by the time we reached there the sun had already set.

"We made it..Nezuko...Urokodaki..."

As he said that someone kicked the door down, later Nezuko came out of the house.

"Hey! Nezuko!"
"You... So you're awake!?"

Tanjiro began running, so did I. Tanjiro ran until he fell, and then Nezuko pulled him into a hug. Ara~ It's nice to see them reunited again.. Tanjiro began crying. I felt warm seeing them like this. I saw Urokodaki walking towards us and then hugging them. I also walked to them, and hugged all of them while letting Tanjiro cry.

"I see. You killed that Morphed demon"

"Yes"

"At last.."

Hmm.. They all could rest now eh? Sabito, Makomo..

"I'm truly impressed that you made it back."

"Yes"

"There are several demons."
"The demons with the special 'Blood Demon Art' are the ones with supernatural abilities."

"Hmhm. They are also dangerous, as their blood demon art can vary based on what the demons are.."
I said.

"Yes that is true"
Urokodaki agreed with me.

"You may have to fight those demons, as well, from now on."
"And battling them will be far more difficult than anything you've known until now."

"Hmm~ that's true"
I agree with Urokodaki, Tanjiro will experience more hardship starting now.

"Even so, Tanjiro, I'm sure you'll be fine"

"It's like you're able to read my mind Urokodaki. I was just about to say that~"

"R-right"
Tanjiro said as a sweat formed on his left.

"U-um"
"I think Nezuko's not like the other demons."

"Yes certainly.. She's very different.."
I added.

"Do you think it could be one of those arts or something?"

"No, I don't think so."
"I wouldn't consider it a blood demon art."
"So that I'm guessing here, but it could be that Nezuko's recovering her strength by sleeping instesd of consuming human flesh."

"It's uncommon, but not unheard of. However only a few demons do this, and most are killed none the less."
I said looking at Nezuko as she sleeps.

Tanjiro keeps watch and falls asleep beside Nezuko.

15 days later~

A man was seen walking towards Urokodaki's house, wearing a hat that rings every time he walks. Kinda similar to my usual wear back in Oedethius..
