❝If I don't cause misery equal to my own unhappiness, I'll never balance the scales!❞

"So annoying..." he mumbled rubbing his nose, "Look, we're trying to talk here... So buzz off" the demon swung his blade and Daki's head rolled into her hands.

Suddenly Lakira was thrown through the wall, "Lakira!!" Tanjiro yelled, going after her.

Seeing Nezuko's wild state made him smaller, his head lowering in shame, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry!" his face turning red as he grabbed Nezuko's cheeks making her look at him, "Sorry for making you fight so please recover" his voice eased, "Please sleep..."

Lakira glanced at Tanjiro, "Do you know anything she's triggered by... Like a lullaby?"

Tanjiro scrunched his face and frowned as he sung the lullaby from the hot springs, "Knock knock... Little bunny from the little mountain. Why ar-" she shrieked, sounding like an unknown cry as he sang, "Why are your ears so long?" Lakira watched as Nezuko slowly stopped letting Tanjiro pat her head, "My mother ate the leaves of a tall tree, and that's why my ears are so long..." Nezuko's eyes held thick tears, making Tanjiro's nose burn as she then let out a sob, slowly shrinking into Lakira's lap.

As Tanjiro whipped his face mumbling to himself, Lakira was eyeing the sleeping Nezuko, "She's sleeping..." she let out and Tanjiro agreed letting out a sigh.

"All thanks to mom" he smiled, "She's sleeping..." Lakira turned to Tanjiro and frowned, reaching for his shoulder before pulling him in, stroking his head as he held her closer.

"Thank you, but you're hurt" he urged, pushing Lakira away, "Your... Eye" he quickly rummaged through this pocket and grabbed a small tin twisting it open "Close your eyes'' She nods watching him lean closer before closing her eyes, feeling Tanjiro quickly placed the cream on her fresh scars.

Suddenly, the building was destroyed and as debris fell, Lakira's eyes widened seeing a boney and skickly green color for skin, as two sickles spun like boomerangs back into the building.

The two younger demon slayers quickly moved out of the way and hearing the others snoring and screams, "Inosuke! Uzui needs help!" Tanjiro called

Inosuke puffed out his chest with a smirk, "Leave it to the Great Inosuke, who will make a flamboyant entrance!" he howled and Tanjiro Looked to Lakira,

"I'll put Nezuko somewhere safe," but then Tanjiro bit his lip, "Lakira... Do you need help or a brake?"

Lakira stuck out her hand dismissing the idea, "You need to worry about yourself" she pulled her swords out and glance back at Tanjiro "Go somewhere safe and put the ointment on, I'll make sure everyone's okay" Lakira stood up showing that she was completely fine while helping Tanjiro stand, "After all, I'm supposed to protect you but" she chuckled, "I'm not really doing a good job" Tanjiro smiled and sprinted off making Lakira sigh before jumping into action her blades in hand.
