Reborn as Nezuko

鬼を連れた剣士

In Mount Sagiri, a small cabin can be seen in the middle of a quiet forest. Inside, is a demon sleeping deeply in her futon, slowly opening her eyes.

You open your eyes and see an unfamiliar ceiling. You get up from a lying position to a sitting position. 'Where am I, who's house is this' your thought looking at the room where you are in.

You stand up and slide the door from your room. 'This house... it looks familiar' looking around the interior of the small house 'yeah! I remember now this is Urokodaki's house' you then stretch out your body 'sleeping really helps me to feel better, I think I'm not just better something feels different. I don't even feel hungry at least a little. Right now I think I can fight effectively' you thought.

'But, where's brother and Urokodaki-san' you thought then you decided to go outside. You slide the door and walk outside 'great it's night time' "Hey! Nezuko! You... You're awake!" You turn your head to see where your brother's voice is coming

'This scene... Did I just sleep for 2 years straight' you thought running toward your brother. Tanjiro starts running toward you as well. "Nezuko! Ugh..." Tanjiro stumbles and falls flat on his face. 'Brother!' As Tanjiro gets up, you reach to him and pull him into a hug. Your brother begins to sob.

"Ahh... Why... Why'd you fall asleep all of a sudden? Never waking up once! I was worried you were going to die, you know?" 'Oh, brother I'm sorry I made you worry' hugging your brother tightly.

Urokodaki comes out of the house with a bunch of firewood. Upon seeing Tanjiro, he drops the firewood, walks toward and hugs the both of you."You came back to us alive."

Inside Urokodaki's house. You are once again inside the room where you woke up a while ago. Laying on your futon and staring at the ceiling 'I just notice that being a demon is really boring. All I just did is lay down, sleep, and stare at the ceiling. How could those man-eating demons leave a life like this, well aside from eating human flesh' you sighed in your head.

You tilted your head toward the door of your room when you heard Urokodaki and your brother talking 'I think they are going to talk about that morph demon hand in the final selection, since I'm not going to do anything anyway might as well sleep for a few more days' you thought closing your eyes once again.

15 days later...

"CAW! Make your way to a town in the northwest! Young girls have been vanishing there" inside the room you were awakened by a loud noise 'what is that, so noisy!' You crawl toward the door and slide it a little to peek outside at what is happening. You see a talking crow giving your brother his first assignment.

"Night after night, young girls have been vanishing! Hunt down the demon lurking there and kill it! Tanjiro Kamado, prepare yourself well for this task! This is your first assignment as a Demon Hunter!" The crow finished his talking. "My first... assignment..." you heard your brother mumble.

'So the story will finally progress, well it's not that the story is not progressing. It's just that I've been sleeping for 2 years that I feel being left out from the story for a second' you said thinking for yourself.
.
.
"Have you gotten changed?"Urokodaki asks "Yes." "All right". You look at your brother from inside the room peeking under your blanket, your eyes widen 'Woah brother, you look so cool'

A minute later Urokodaki starts explaining to Tanjiro about the durability of his uniform. "Right. One more thing. Take this." Urokodaki places a wooden box in front of Tanjiro. "It's a box for you to carry your sister in during the day built out of an extremely light wood called "Cloud Mist Pine". I coated it with rock lacquer to reinforce its exterior and to make it even more durable."

'Ahh, it's the iconic box, the box where I'll be spending most of my time for the duration of the whole story' "Thank you very much!" Tanjiro picks up the box. It's so light! It's really light, Mr. Urokodaki!"
