💕The Pink Haori💕 Role Swap AU

Chapter 1- The Village

Nezuko wrapped the pink scarf around her neck, it was colder outside today. Flipping her long black hair in front of her she grabbed her basket full of fixed Kimonos and extra fabric pieces along with her basic sewing tools.

She flung the basket over her shoulder and took a deep breath but before Nezuko could start walking she heard her mother behind her.

"Nezuko!" Kie called after her daughter, Nezuko turned and her mother took her hands in her own. "Your hands are still so rough from poking yourself."

Nezuko gave an embarrassed smile while her mother wrapped her fingers individually with cloth.

"Thank you Mother," Nezuko smiled. "I'll try to be more careful."

People in the village pay Nezuko a lot to fix their Kimono's so she spends most of her free time sewing.

"Be careful and come back home before dark, okay?" Kie brushed a few stray hairs from Nezuko's face.

"Okay, I promise," Nezuko chuckled and turned away from her mother. Starting her walk down the path she bumped into her older brother and baby brother, Tanjiro and Rokuta. Tanjiro stumbled a bit before wobbling over to Nezuko.

"Is your leg feeling any better?" She asked, Rokuta squirmed in his arms.

"A little, I'm sorry I can't go with you to town today," He smiled.

"No, no its okay!" She waved her hand in front of her. "I don't mind at all, you just focus on getting better, okay big brother?"

Tanjiro gave a small smile, "of course, be careful on the way down okay? It can get pretty steep sometimes."

"I will, don't worry about me!" Her eyes wandered to little Rokuta clinging to Tanjiro. "You really like Tanjiro huh, Rokuta?"

She rustled his hair as he answered, "Yeah!" His face lit up in a smile, Nezuko's heart nearly melted from the sight. Tanjiro was easily Rokuta's favorite, after their father had passed away he clinged to the older boy like his life depended on it.

"I'll be back soon, okay!" She waved back to her older and younger brother, turning her back to them. Unknown to her, for the last time.

The village wasn't too far away, it only took about two hours to walk there, normally Tanjiro would be able to fill the quiet, but she didn't mind the silence. The snow was falling lightly, and the sky was darkly overcast.

"Nezuko!" She heard her name immediately after walking through the gates of the village. A young woman rushed up to her and grasped the sleeve of her brown haori. "Did you finish my kimono?"

"Yes, I did, Ms. Yashiro!" Yashiro let Nezuko to her home, and the young girl was able to unload her basket. She moved from house to house until her basket was empty, collecting her money along the way.

It was a little less than she would normally get but, that was okay. She'd just have to work harder for the next few weeks, and with Tanjiro selling charcoal once his leg gets better, they'd be in great shape.

She looked at the sun, it was already falling behind the trees. She mentally scolded herself, she should have left earlier, she wouldn't be able to make it back before dark and she didn't trust herself to walk in the woods alone, she'd get lost.

Sure, she did have a good nose, but nothing compared to Tanjiro, she hadn't even gone to the village without him or anyone else. 

Even if she didn't know the way very well, she couldn't stay here, she made a promise and needed to stick to it. So, she started up the mountain again, but only about twenty minutes up a younger boy stopped her.

"Kamado!" The boy ran out of his house and grabbed Nezuko's hand. "You can't go up the mountain at night."

"But Shoichi, I made a promise to be back before dark. If I leave now, I'll be able to get there before gets super late."

"That doesn't matter," The little boy said. "My sister is out with my mother right now, you can use her futon, please just don't go up the mountain until morning, the demons might get you."

Hesitantly, Nezuko nodded and walked inside with Shoichi. Nezuko set her basket down as Shoichi started serving up some soup.

"Here Kamado," He said handing Nezuko the small cup.

"Thank you Shoichi."

They sat in primarily silence, though Shoichi ate lots faster then her. After dinner, they got ready to sleep, as Shoichi was preparing his sister's futon, Nezuko thought now would be a good time to ask.

"Shoichi, what do you know about demons?"

"They're man-eating, you remember Kiyoshi, right?"

"Your older brother that went missing a few years ago?" Nezuko took a sip of soup broth as he continued.

"Yeah, everyone thinks he went missing at least, but Teruko and I saw what happened. He was eaten, eaten by a demon."

Nezuko didn't speak for a moment. "So, could the demons come into your house? Are we safe here?"

"No, they could come in, I don't think there really is a safe place from demons. They take whatever they please whenever they please."

Demons sound awful, Nezuko thought, I'll have to tell Takeo to stop playing outside with Shigeru so late.

-------

Nezuko set out early the next morning, she thanked Shoichi and left before the sun fully rose. She made an attempt to get to her house quicker than normal, she had to apologize for being so late.

She neared the side of the house before she saw it, Rokuta was lying in the snow, blood pooled around him. She made a strangled noise and abandoned her basket, rushing to help her little brother. 

"Rokuta!" She screamed, crumbling to the ground and picking up her brother, then turning her head stiffly. Her pink eyes were met with red. The house was ravengend and her family-

Her family.

Her family was murdered.

Red.

Blood.

Everywhere.

Blood.

Breathe.

She couldn't breathe.

She couldn't think.

She couldn't move.

Scared stiff in an unmoving state.

Tears were hot on her face and unknown to her, one of her brothers twitched.
