Party in the Wisteria Trees: A InoTanZen Fanfic

Chapter 1: Meeting in the Garden

"Tanjiro?" Zenitsu shook Tanjiro.

"...Tanjiro?"

"WAKE UP GAMBACHIRO!" Inosuke yelled, hitting Tanjiro in the face with a pillow.

Tanjiro woke up from the sudden hit in the face from a pillow, gasping in surprise, and sitting up, covering his face with his hands, "Oww.. Jeez, I'm up."

"Inosuke, was that really necessary?" Zenitsu scolded.

"I was sick of waiting!" Inosuke said, steam coming out of the nose of the boar mask.

Tanjiro stretched, some of his back popping, wincing a little, "We're not training today, so what's going on?"

"I don't know, but Rengoku, the Flame Hasira, wants to meet with us in the stone garden," Zenitsu said, pondering what he would want with them.

"The Hashira?! Why didn't you say so sooner? We've got to go urgently, we might be set on a new mission," Tanjiro got up quickly, putting up their bedspreads in a cabinet.

"Hah! All right! This mansion is getting stuffy anyway!" Inosuke said, throwing off his sleepwear, and shuffling, putting on his trademark dark furred pants.

"I-Inosuke! Nezuko-chan's right there, you can't just undress like that!" Zenitsu panicked, blushing a bit.

Inosuke looked over to Nezuko, who was staring outside, looking at the beautiful butterflies, completely uninterested in the boys' affairs. "So what? She's looking at bugs!" He hurriedly put his shoes on.

"Still! She's a delicate flower, you can't poison her with your ugly appearance!"

"Ohhh, you wanna pick fight, huh, Benitsu? Come and get some!" Inosuke charged at Zenitsu.

"It's Zenitsu, you dumb boar!" The two starting fighting.

Tanjiro came back into the room with his green checkered kimono on, slicking his hair back, then he walked towards his sister. "Good Morning, Nezuko! Did you sleep well?"

Nezuko nodded, letting out a small grunt in agreeance.

Tanjiro put his hand on Nezuko's head, "Good to hear, we're going out to meet one of the Hashira, so stay here, okay? The Kocho sisters will take care of you if you need anything," he smiled. Nezuko gave a warm smile back.

Tanjiro looked sharply at the other two that where on the ground wrestling, then he jumped in to pull them apart, "Stop it! We're about to meet with a Hashira, we can't be acting so immature, let alone the mess you're making in a room that doesn't belong to us!"

Inosuke lowered his fist and Zenitsu slowly took his hand off of Inosuke's mask, then the two quickly stood in front of Tanjiro, Zenitsu looked at Inosuke a bit angrily, then looked back at Tanjiro, "Sorry, Tanjiro."

The boys started to step out of the Butterfly Manor, Aoi stood in the doorway, "Where are you three going?"

"We're going to meet with the Hashira, we're not completely sure about what though," Tanjiro said, putting on his outdoor shoes.

"Without getting breakfast first? Luckily, I made you guys these onigiri," Aoi said, pulling out three onigiri from her basket.

"Oh! Thank you, Aoi!" Tanjiro smiled, taking them and distributing among the other two. Zenitsu smiled and blushed, nodding at her. Aoi looked over to Inosuke to see what he would think of the rice-ball.

He took one bite, then ate the entire thing at once, "Haha, I'll be coming back for more!"

Aoi gave a relived smile and looked down blushing, "S-Sure thing, Inosuke." Then she looked at the other two, "Oh! And say hi to Shinobu for me!"
