Chapter 3- Trainer Kiezo

Nezuko's life was getting harder by the second, which didn't seem possible at the time. Her older brother was a demon and now she was traveling with him in a basket on her back to an old guy in a dojo.

The universe hated her. She was sure of it.

She tied her hair up in a loose bun so she didn't have to deal with it while she traveled. Her pink bow tied in with her black hair.

Heeding the warnings from Akaza, Nezuko tried to keep Tanjiro out of the sun. She knew he didn't like it but, it was to keep him alive so he seemed to understand.

"Excuse me," she tapped on the shoulder of a mother and son. "Do you know where Sonyuu Dojo is?"

"Just on the outskirts of town, about fifteen miles from here, they've moved buildings a few times." Nezuko bowed and thanked the woman before moving on.

----

As she walked through the woods, she was thankful to have Tanjiro. His sense of smell would help them navigate the thick trees. Suddenly, his grip tightened on her hand, his eyes fixed on a single house on the hill.

"Tanjiro?" Nezuko asked, her eyes drifting up with her brothers. The house looked normal enough, though the door was open. That wasn't normal for the middle of the night, right?

Tanjiro moved before Nezuko could think the situation through, dragging her along Tanjiro ran up and into the house. Nezuko pulled Tanjiro back a bit once she saw the inside, a demon eating a man.

The sight almost made Nezuko puke right then and there. Then the demon turned, blood covered its mouth and hands.

"Huh?" Its voice was rough. "Are you both human?"

It could talk.

She didn't know that.

Of course they can talk.

They're still a human entity.

Nezuko was to scared stiff to respond, though that wasn't necessary. Before she knew it, she was flung back by the demon, it leaned over her.

She kicked up wards, and slashed with the axe she carried.

The demon coughed, his neck bleeding.

"You're a tough one kid, I'll give you that." It looked up and smirked. "This is no problem for a demon though. It'll regenerate in a few moments."

And regenerate it did. It wasn't fast by any means but the wound closed up. Nezuko knew she was in trouble. The most that she had combat experience wise was playing tag and hide and seek with her siblings.

Tanjiro couldn't think.

His mind was cloudy, it was like swimming in murky water.

He was hungry.

He was so hungry.

And there was food.

Right in front of him.

He couldn't help it.

But he had something else to do first.

He needed to help Nezuko.

He knew that.

He needed to protect her.

So instead, he turned on his heel and ran towards the demon and Nezuko. The demon was slowly walking up to his little sister, he had to act quickly.

He clawed at the back of the demon, before punching it through the chest. The demon made a strangled noise before elbowing Tanjiro's chin.

Nezuko rushed to grab the axe, while the demon was distracted by Tanjiro, she came up behind it and sliced through its head.
