Kamado Nezuko... a kind soul and the second oldest of her caring family. She was out on a coal trip courtesy of her brother catching a cold.

Walking back up the mountain she wonders 'how does Big brother do this everyday?!' exhausted, but still trudging on she walks up the mountain to be stopped by a man in his Forty's and opens the window to his house to call out to Nezuko.

"Hey Nezuko! are you goin back to the mountain?" the man says sounding worried for the Kamado "you shouldn't it's dangerous during this time!" he says in a somewhat demanding tone

shifting her attention to the man she says "don't worry I can make it home!" wheezing between each word making the man more worried

"I'll let you stay the night!" he says "please come... turn back!"

"but-" not being able to finish her sentence she was interrupted by the man.

"enough of that!" he says in a Stern tone "the demons will come..."

Entering his household Nezuko takes comfort In a futon lended by him.

"since long ago, human eating demons have come out during the dead of night to hunt down humans." he says "because of that it has become dangerous to walk at night. it would be best if you slept here instead of being eaten."

innocently Nezuko asks "can the demon... not enter our houses?" she says slowly nodding off. "No." he says "they can enter" "then... everyone eaten... by demon" she says going to sleep very slowly

"the great demon spirit hunters have protected us and killed the Oni that roam here" he says "since long ago..."
'Saburouji-san must be lonely, ever since his family died' she thought closing her eyes to sleep 'next time I'll bring my brothers and sister along, it okay because demons don't exist..." she thinks as she finally falls to sleep

-----------------------------------------------------------------

'I hope big brother and the others are doing well... they are probably really worried about me' 'hope I didn't worry them to much to the point where wondered at ni-' Nezuko's thoughts come to a stop as she sees her big brother and Rokuto out side laying lifeless.
'wha' she thinks "what happened!" she cries out running to check up on her brothers. kneeling next to them she looks at her home.

big mistake.

'mother, Hanako, Takeo, Shingeru...' she thinks as she looks at her families bloodied bodies. quickly she checks there temperature. only to find one that is still warm.
---------------------------------------------------------------

'don't worry big brother' she huffs 'I'll get you help, don't worry' she continues.
'what could have done this?' she thinks 'a bear that didn't hibernate?' she questions once more 'It's getting hard to breath... but I can't stop now I need to continue for big brother... I half to move fast if I want to save him... I'll definitely save him'

"GAHHHHH"

Startled by the sudden noise from her brother, she trips down a cliff that she hadn't noticed.

Thump

'i survived...' she thinks to herself 'The snow stopped my fall' lifting herself she notices someone standing up "Tanjirou!" she says running up to him "are you ok?! You don't half to walk I can carry you to the village!" she says running up to the still boy. "Rrrrrrr..." growling the boy lunges at Nezuko. having a adrenaline rush she looks around while being pushed down notices Tanjirou's axe. quickly grabbing it she pushes it into his mouth as he looks at her with his partially damaged demon eyes. 'A demon!' she thinks as Saburouji-san's words came to her mind. 'Tanjirou... a human eating demon?" she thinks 'No that can't be! Tanjirou couldn't have been a demon. If he was he would've eaten has us!.. He was laying as if to protect Rokuto' she says to herself 'His hands arent covered in blood he couldn't have done it!' she thinks. 'His strength is increasing!' as she is thinking this his body grows 'His body is also growing!' she says surprised by this.
