Tanjiro had to help F/n out of the bath, her legs were pretty sore now and she was starving.

"I cant believe you did that..!" She whispered as Tanjiro dressed her back up. Tanjiro kissed her temple and smiled warmly, "I did it because I love you."

"I know..but in public.!?" F/n continued, waving her hands in the air dramatically. Tanjiro chuckled, "There was no one here but us, don't worry flower."

"For that, you have to carry me back to town." She ordered and hopped onto Tanjiros back. Her actions seemed to catch Tanjiro off guard since he almost fell over.

"Warning next time, please" He whined and started walking down the stairs.

Tanjiro carried her all the way to the place where they were serving food. The love pillar was already there, a mountain of dirty dishes next to her.

Tanjiro sat F/n down and they got their food quickly. F/n ate in silence while Tanjiro talked with the love pillar who was playing with Nezuko. F/n remembered her saying her name was Mitsuri or something.

Once they were done, they walked with Mitsuri for a while who was looking for Genya. F/n wasn't really paying attention because when she tuned back into the conversation, it had escalated to Mitsuri talking about getting a husband.

"Mitsuri-Sama, your sword has been forged. Please accompany us while we make the final touches."

With that Mitsuri left, whispering something to Tanjiro before she skipped off.

"What'd she say, Tanjiro-Kun?" F/n asked as they walked to their room. "Something about a secret weapon that makes you stronger." Tanjiro explained as he opened the door.

"Are you going on a treasure hunt then?" F/n joked, sitting down in front of the mirror, taking out Yui's hairpin and placing it carefully on a table side.

"Did you get a new hairpin?" Tanjiro asked, wrapping his hands around F/n's waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.

F/n sighed sadly, "It was Yui's."

Tanjiro now had a guilty look on his face, probably regretting asking. He placed a soft kiss on her neck, "Sorry for bringing it up, please forgive me flower."

F/n melted into his touch and took his hand in hers, "It's alright Tanjiro-Kun." She yawned, blinking tiredly.

Tanjiro smiled warmly and pulled F/n to his chest, laying down onto their Futon. "You're so kind Tanjiro-Kun, I wanna marry you someday" F/n said tiredly.

Tanjiro could feel his heart pounding through his chest, "I'd marry you in a heart beat.." he said softly, placing a soft kiss on her head.

"Okay, when I asked if you were going to go on a treasure hunt I didn't actually mean it" F/n groaned as her and Tanjiro trudged through the forest.

"Who wouldn't want to find a weapon that makes you stronger?" He asked with a wide smile. "How can a weapon make you stronger? I thought that all depended on a sword man's skills, that's what my grandfather used to tell me. He used to discribe the sword as an extension to the users arm rather than something that made one stronger" F/n said with her hand on her chin.

"Maybe he was wrong?" Tanjiro suggested, which he received a flick on the nose. "He was a hashira, I doubt it" F/n said flatly.

"There's a kid over there, and someone else" Tanjiro pointed out, staring intensely. F/n looked over to where Tanjiro was.

"That's the mist pillar, Tokitou Muichirou." Tanjiro said in awe.

F/n felt angry vibrations coming from the pair, "Are they fighting?" She asked. Tanjiro tilted his head and walked a few steps closer.

F/n's question was answered quickly because the Mist pillar slapped the little boy and grabbed his collar.

Tanjiro was quick to intervene, taking hold of the pillars wrist. "Tanjiro-Kun! Wait!" F/n warned.

"Your voice is so annoying..who are you.." Muichiro said in a monotone voice. Tanjiro seemed to be squeezing his wrist with all he had, but it had no effect on Muichiro, who still held a straight face.

Muichiro punched Tanjiro in the stomach, sending him flying into the ground.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing!" F/n yelled, getting between them and scowling at the pillar. Muichiro was unfazed, and reached for the box in Tanjiros back.

"What's in there..I sense a demon.." He muttered.

F/n grabbed his hand and pushed him off, sending the pillar into a tree. He looked anything but surprised, "I've never met a lower rank that somewhat matches my strength.."

F/n glared at him and turned back to face Tanjiro. He was trying to comfort the boy.

"Get off me! Go away!" The little boy yelled and swatted Tanjiro away. "I'm never giving up this key! Not even under torture!"

"Have you ever been under torture? Not even adults can endure it. This is what happens when you get in the way of a pillar. Unlike you people, a pillars time is extremely important. Sword smiths can't save lives , making weapons is all they're good for." Muichiro deadpanned. "Key. Now."

F/n glared at Muichiro once again, "What the hell is wrong with you."

"Understand your place when you speak. You're not a baby anymore" Muichiro continued, his hand still out.

Tanjiro slapped his hand, but the pillar gave no reaction once again.

"What's this about..?"

"This..this just doesn't sit right with me!! I'm not exactly sure why! What about consideration?! You cant just forget to be considerate! That's just cruel!" Tanjiro yelled, finally losing his cool.

Muichiro tilted his head, "am I acting cruel..? You-"

"You are correct! Everything you said is more or less right! But even though you're not wrong, swords smiths have very important jobs! If sword smiths didn't forge swords, the demon slayers would be useless! Sorry.."

"I don't have time to talk about dumb stuff.." Muichiro said in a monotone voice. The vibrations he gave off were angry and irritated.

Muichiro raised his hand and swung it towards Tanjiros neck. But before it could make contact, F/n grabbed his arm once again, twisting it and pushing him off.

"You're pathetic." F/n spat as she shot him another one of her deadly glares.

"F-F/n-San..! It's okay! Let's get going..!" Tanjiro said shakily as he dragged her off. Muichiro and F/n were having a glaring match before they eventually were out of sight from each other.

After a while, the little boy came running after the pair. "What happened to the pillar? I was sure he'd come after us to fight or something" F/n said confused.

The boy shook his head, "I don't think he's the type to do that, I gave him the key and ran off. Oh! And thank you for standing up for me! I'm very great full!" He thanked and bowed his head.

"It's alright, we weren't much use to you" F/n said and patted the boys head.

"What was the key for?" Tanjiro asked.

"It was for a mechanical doll" the boy explained. Tanjiro and F/n tilted their heads in confusion. "A mechanical doll?"

"Yes! My ancestors made it, it has over one hundred movements!"

"That's amazing!" Tanjiro and F/n said in unison.

"Yeah, but it's deteriorating and might break soon."

A loud crash was heard in the distance.

"What was that?" F/n asked. The boy stood up and gestured for the pair to follow him. Which they did.

The boy lead them to to doll, which Muichiro was fighting. His speed was amazing, F/n's eyes could barely follow his movements.

F/n's eyes drifted to the doll, it looked oddly familiar..
