Kimetsu Academy! | A Tanjiro x Kanao Story

Chapter 22: {Problematic Romantic}

Yesterday was the last day of school, at least for the summer. This was going to be the Kamado family's busiest months for the bakery. It was around four in the afternoon when Kie, their mother, was in the kitchen leaving supplies in the fridge and and washing some of the cooking supplies in the sink.

While her younger siblings playing videogames on the tv, Nezuko scrolled the social media on her phone on her orange bean bag in the living room next to them. "A lunch out wouldn't be so bad right about now, don't think I should tell mom that though..." She thought to herself after seeing a selfie of food in her recommendations.

Takeo: "Hah! Told you that I'd win!"

Shigeru: "No fair!! You cheated!"

Takeo: "What? No I didn't! You're bad at the game!"

Hanako: "Could you two just move on so I can play?"

Takeo: "Ehh? Don't remember this console being yours, Tanjiro got it for me and Shigeru so I'm only going to listen to him." He scoffed then turned around to Nezuko then the kitchen but didn't see his older brother anywhere. "Wait... where is Tanjiro?" Not even a few minutes after asking this, a black and green blur flew down the stairs and into the laundry room. After the sound of water rushing and a washing machine being used to the point of almost exploding, Tanjiro came out of the room with some neatly folded clothes and a big smile. "Morning everyone!"

Nezuko looked over her shoulder to wave but when she did, she noted many different things about her sibling, the tired look under his eyes, and his hair somehow being even ruffled than before, not to mention the rushing around the entire house bit. Tanjiro quickly dashed back up into his room, stumbling up the stairs as he did. She just ended up staring with a dotted-eye expression knowing that something was up.

Shigeru: "What's up with him?"

Takeo: "He washed those clothes so fast..."

Hanako: "hey, you don't think... you know...?"

Takeo: "What?"

Hanako: "That he's going on a date?" She said with a smug face, and once her brothers caught on they all had smug grin and began to snicker. Nezuko hearing what she said started to think the same thing and wondered what how come he didn't tell anyone.

~Kocho Residence~

Kanao hung out in Kanae's room with her and talked about the things they could do this summer, while Shinobu was in the garden watering the plants but also talked to them as if they were human.

Kanae: "...ohhh! We could go shopping at the mall buy new dresses or maybe get our nails done, Uzui's been complaining about mine not being very flashy... Ah, sorry. I didn't ask you want you wanted to do this summer did I?"

Kanao: "...I- It's fine, I'll go along with whatever it is you and Shinobu end up doing." She replied while resting her phone next to her.

Kanae: "Really? How come? Aren't you planning on going out with your friends?"

Kanao: "Well... maybe- I'm not sure."

Kanae: "Aww, that's a shame. I was hoping that Tanjiro would've taken you somewhere nice."

Kanao: "Huh?! Wh- Tanji- we-! We aren't t-t-together or anything Kanae!!" She yelled, jumping back on the bed with her face turning pink.

Kanae: "..." She tilted her head in confusion. "You aren't?"
