(this part of the story is 2 weeks before tanjiro and nezuko went on there amazing adventure)
NO POV

out in a forest, zenistu is trying to practice fighting and trying to find his inner powers he kept secret for ages.

zenitsu was tired of fighting all moring without rest, with shinobu keeping a close eye on him at all times if he ever slacks off. "come on zenitsu, i know you can do better than that!" shinobu shouted from a few feet away from the sore yellow teenager. "I CAN'T KEEP UP MUCH LONGER PLEASE!" he whinned, "IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS! I FEEL LIKE COLAPSING".

"if you keep whining like a little girl i'll make sure you'll never see daylight" her tone was soft and calm and still had her smile as always and that made zenitsu's skin crawl. " so come on zenitsu, keep practicing! i know you can unleash your power! i've seen it before"

"But i can't! it's been 9 years!!! i don't remember" he colapses on his knees and looks down at the ground, not looking at shinobu's gaze. "remember, i promised her i'll never unleash it until im ready..."

"yes i remember, why do you think im training you now? you're now capable for it." she walks up to zenitsu and places her hand on zenitsu's back to comfort him. "i'm not trying to abuse you zenitsu, i just want you to face it and control it before people take an advantage upon you" she states. zenitsu looks at her and said " i know your not but i don't want it to turn out like it did back then..."

( FLASH BACK TIME!!!!)

"zenitsu is 8 years old now, what should we suprise him with?" shinobu asked her sister. kanae looked at her sister with a cage in her hands. inside the cage was a little bird, a sparrow. " a bird? i was kinda thinking of a pretty goodluck charm since he's been a bit anxious lately".

"i was sorta thinking the same thing until i saw how much he enjoyed learning about birds! i thought it was adorable soooo i got him a bird!!" kanae was excided to show her son his birthday present. "we should wait for him to wake up so lets drink some tea for the time being" shinobu asked.

"Good idea" Her sister agreed. And so they waited while drinking tea and talking about their past missions they been through until they heard a loud crash coming from zenitsu's room. "Oh dear! Zenitsu are you alright!?" Kanae rushed to is room and slid open the door with mighty force to see him on the ground sobbing uncontrollably.

"IT HURTS SO MUCH!" He whinned. Zenitsu's face started to crack lightning bolt patterns on his face and out of those cracks were golden flowers. Bright as a lightning strike.

"OH no, It's happening again! Quick, shinobu take kanao out of the house!" Kanae yelled. "Zenitsu, it's going to be alright! please Calm down" but what ever she said this time will not work. Zenitsu tried to steady his breathing but more cracks started to form. The flowers started to create a static like force field around his body, making a nasty shock to anyone who touches him.

" it's worse than last time,I don't don't know what to do...." Kanae's mind rushes to think of solutions to save her son, but she got no results. She soon smelled something burning and quickly, she ran out if the room and outside her home.

Shinobu had a worried look as she saw a nasty burn on her fingers. "What the hell happened? Is he alright?" She questioned.

"No its worst from last time, I don't know how he got like this-"

A lightning bolt crashed down onto their minka and the lighting bolt looked like it aimed for zenitsu's room. Kanao hid behind her big sister, scared as their house started to smoke up in flames. Kanae rushed in the house, not caring if she gets burnt, running towards her son's room. He looked lifeless on the ground but she knew he was still alive.

[<><>]

After the accident, they let zenitsu rest at giyuu's for a while. The little yellow boy heard what they were discussing outside the room he was resting in. "So, the bird didn't survive? Giyuu asked, a bit annoyed. "Yes, sadly but as long as zenitsu's alright, nothing is truly terrible" kanae sounded relieved.

Zenitsu looked up at the ceiling and cried quietly. It was another birthday ruined.

(END of flashback)

"I just... don't want anyone getting hurt, not my loved ones like you" zenitsu wiped his tears out of his eyes with his abuse hand from all the training he endured. Shinobu hugs him and slowly stroking his hair with such soft moments. "I think your ready to go...."
