"It was him!"

-3rd Person POV-
Enmu asked, "Why did you wake up? Didn't I show you a sweet dream? I could've shown you a dream where your family was being slaughtered. Would you have liked that one better? No, of course not. Too distressing, right? All right, next... Why don't I show you a dream where your Chichi-ue comes back to life? Or... What you want to know about yourself." Tanjiro was tempted but got angered as he grew veins on his forehead. He gripped his katana and a gust of wind cleared his surroundings. Enmu thought, "What I really love... is to show people nightmares right after a happy dream. I just adore the sight of a distorted human face. I get such a kick out of that! How enthralling is it to at someone shattered by misfortune, suffering and flailing? But I don't usually let my guard down. So, it may take longer, but ill make sure to kill the Demon Slayers. I mixed my blood with the ink on the tickets. Once the conductor punches them, creating clamp marks... the spell activates. This is a remote art. It took more effort, but this was the best way to avoid being detected. Not being detected is important. It is reality for them until they realize it's a dream. And yet... how did this one manage to wake up? And he found a way to wake up in a short time. Even though the human desire for blissful dreams, for self-serving dreams... is so enormous!" Tanjiro slowly pulled his sword out and angrily said, "Don't you dare intrude on my soul! I won't let you... get away with this!" Enmu then looked at his earrings and thought, "What's that? I see he's wearing earnings." He creepily laughed and said, "How lucky is that? So, he came right to me! This is like a dream! Now I can receive even more blood of Muzan-Sama! And once I become more powerful, I'll challenge an Upper-Rank demon to a duel to replace him!" Tanjiro got into a stance and used,

Water Breathing... Tenth Form... Constant Flux!

Tanjiro slowly waved his blade as a water dragon formed behind him. It screeched as Enmu used,

Blood Demon Art!

Tanjiro lunged toward the demon to behead him, but Enmu finished,

Whisper of Forced Unconcious Hypnosis.

He put his hand toward Tanjiro as its hand said, "Go to sleep!" Tanjiro felt a shockwave headed towards him. He was about to jump over it but was too late. He was instantly put to sleep and fell back. He woke up and took a quick slash at Enmu. He cut off his arm and jumped back while Tanjiro followed suit. Tanjiro inhaled deeply and lunged at Enmu faster than he could react. Tanjiro successfully cut off Enmu's head and they both reached the roof. But in a sudden turn of events, Enmu said, "I can totally see why..." Tanjiro snapped his head toward Enmu as he said, "...he ordered me to kill you, the boy with the earrings, along with the Hashira!" Enmu turned into a gooey and a snake-like form. He also said, "Your very existence is, like... It couldn't be more irritating, you know?" Tanjiro was stunned as he started. He thought, "He's not dead? But... How?" Enmu said, "Oh, that look on your face is so delightful! That's the look I've been waiting for! You want to know why I'm dead after you decapitated me, don't you? Fine, since I'm feeling so ecstatic right now. It's so easy even an infant would understand. It's because the body over there was no longer my main body. Same with this thing that's talking to you now. It merely looks like my head, but it's not. While you were snoozing away... I fused with the train! Every inch of this train has become my blood, my flesh and my bones! Look at your face. Are you getting it now? In other words... the more than 200 passengers on this train... are the food that will strengthen my body even more... as well as my hostages. So, do you think you can protect them by yourself? All these people packing this train from one end to the other... Can you alone keep me from devouring them?" Tanjiro lunged at the tentacle and was about to slash it. It went into the train before it was slashed. Tanjiro asked himself, "What should I do? What should I do? The most I can protect on my own is five carts! Any more than that, and I can't guarantee their safety!" He then screams, "Rengoku-san! Zenitsu! Inosuke! This is no time to be sleeping! Wake up, will you? Please! Nezuko! Protect the sleeping passengers!" Tanjiro ran toward the back of the train.
Nezuko used her Blood Demon Art to wake up Inosuke. He opened his hand as the flames dissipated. Tanjiro heard Inosuke's grunts and screams as he began to break through the roof. Inosuke jumped through the roof and high into the air as Tanjiro smiled. Inosuke orders, "Follow me, damn minions! All right! Explosive Awakening! Comin' through! Inosuke-sama's comin' through!" He jumped into the train and used,

Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang... Crazy Cutting!

Inosuke cut most of the tentacles that stood in his way. He pointed his sword at him and yelled, "Hashibira Inosuke-sama is comin' through!"

Chapter 55: End.

Forgot to mention, the pictures I add in these chapters are from where we left off. (Bit of a pickle so I don't know if I mentioned that before)

-A Little Secret-
Tanjiro was considered a weird child from most of the townsfolk. So he started to hide his tail shortly after receiving many words about it.

909 words (disregarding everything after 'Chapter 55: End.')
