Shinazugawa walked up to Nezuko's box and stabbed Nezuko again

Sanemi: Come on out demon!

He stabbed her again

Tanjiro: Stop it!

Sanemi: Look, its the human blood you love so much!

Nezuko slowly stood up and looked angry with drool dripping from her mouth she glared at man who stabbed her

Sanemi: What's the matter, demon? Come on! You know you want it.

Iguro pushed his elbow harder into Tanjiro

Shinobu: Iguro, you're digging into him too hard. Ease up a bit please.

Obanai: I'm only holding him down because he's trying to move.

Shinobu: Kamado, if you try to use your breathing technique while your being squeezed, your veins will burst.

Tengen: His veins will burst!

Seeing Tanjiro trying so hard Zane started to fidget his arms and hands out of the rope

Tengen: I like it! Sounds flamboyant! Come on! Start bursting!

He made a fist excited for the burst confusing Mitsuri as Gyomei started crying again

Gyomei: Poor soul... Such a weak, pathetic child. Namu Amida Butsu.

Back with Nezuko the noise of Sanemi's blood dripping on the floor was the only thing filling her ears as she clenched her fist forcing blood out and Sanemi laughed and Tanjiro struggled

Shinobu: Kamado?

Tanjiro ripped out of the ropes as Zane grabbed Obanai's arm off of Tanjiro

"Destroy"

Iguro and Zane glared at each other as Tanjiro ran up to the porch

Tanjiro: Nezuko!

With said girl she was in her own world as snow fell she looked at Tanjiro holding her staring at Giyu

Tanjiro: She's my sister! She's my younger sister! Nezuko is different! Though I don't know how it happened!

Then she remembered her mother and father in the kitchen her mother said something then she thought to the rest of her family

Urokodaki: All humans are your family.

Then Tanjiro walked in front of her as he smiled

Urokodaki: Protect humans.

Nezuko: (Humans are to be protected and saved. Never hurt them. I will never hurt them.)

Back in the real world Nezuko who was still glaring at Sanemi and growled suddenly turned her head away shocking Sanemi and relieving Tanjiro and the master smiled

Master: What just happened?

Bow: The demon girl just turned her back in disgust. Although she's been stabbed three times by Shinazugawa, and despite his flaunting of his bloody arm in her face, she restrained herself and did not bite.

Sanemi growled and the sick man smiled

Master: So now, its been proven that she wont attack other humans, right?

Tanjiro sighed as the serpent ripped his arm from Zane's grasp

Iguro: What do you think you're doing, Ryuki?

He didn't respond

Master: Tanjiro... Zane...

They looked up to him
