A lot happened and now they were all following the old man up the mountain.

The three young ones were behind him running, well two were while the taller one had a basket with the third member inside.

Amira was confused about the trip and the fact that the man they were following had slapped Tanjiro made her wary of him.

The reason she had the basket was because she was quick to swipe it when she noticed that Nezuko was gone . She wanted to carry her instead.

She glanced over at Tanjiro, who was starting to breathe a bit heavily which was causing a stir of worry in her chest.
She did however notice how the older man was running much faster than both of them making her quickly speed up to him now nearly 3 feet behind him.

Tanjiro tries catching up with the pair , keeping his eyes on the older male's figure. 

He kept looking over at Amira checking to see if she was doing fine .
Questions filled his head as he took the time to think of what happened earlier, specifically the strength Amira showed, he knew she was strong but not strong enough to actually match with a demon. He knew it would be difficult to ask her about it. Does she even know....he shook his head deciding to concentrate on the present.

Timeskip:

They finally reached a small house with a small plot for gardening beside it.

Amira looked at it curiously as her eyes slid over to the older man, her brain reminding her that his name was Urokodaki Sakonji, perhaps they were going to stay with him for the time being since they didn't have a home.

Though she was skeptical since from what she saw, Tanjiro carrying a rock to the demon only for it to burn when the sun rose and the way the man seemed to sound disappointed. She thinks there's something else happening perhaps it's the job of ..the guy from before, Giyuu.

She went in and placed down the basket carefully bringing out the smaller girl, who was currently sleeping .

Tanjiro breathes out in relief kneeling down outside the house as he turned to look at his new Sensei. " Have I...passed ?" 

The man pauses outside the door." We are just beginning, we will be climbing the mountain close by...your friend will be joining you."

"Wait Amira ...but she could get hurt and she already has a hard time communicating or being away from me...I don't think I can let her go through this...I don't think she is completely aware of what has even happened." The boy got up looking worried for the girl's well being, yes he saw her fight against a demon but it didn't mean he wanted her to risk her life .

The girl in question made a small hum hearing her name as she left the house after making sure Nezuko was comfortable,  she looked towards Tanjiro as she quickly went over to him with a small frown as she latches onto his haori.

"That is strange a strange situation...but it seems she won't leave you, so you're risking her life by not letting her train...what if you run into another demon, would she just stand there and be useless and make herself a big target.. I know this will be best for all three of you."Urokodaki crossed his arms watching as Tanjiro tries gently pushing her hand and pointing towards the house a few time trying to tell her to go back.

She remained still understanding him but not budging since he wasn't coming with her so she is joining the training anyway, Urokodaki did have a point.

Tanjiro sighed before gently holding her hands as he nodded. " ..alright its for the best ....we will do this..for Nezuko. "
