"Let's go, there's a demon on board." Tanjiro says, grabbing mine and Nezuko's hands.

"Tanjiro! What happened?!" I ask, I definitely need answers as to why there are children passed out on the floor especially.

"The demon was using the kids to try to do something to us while we were asleep, I think that's it's blood demon art, the ticket has the scent of a demon on it as well." Tanjiro explains while pulling me up from my seat, Muichiro had been leaning on me so he flops over.

"But what about the others? Are we just gonna look for the demon alone?!" I ask, he was rushing me, I just woke up I need to understand what's happening.

"We'll we aren't alone, we have each other" ok true, that wasn't the best wording on my part but still.

"You know what I mean, we're going off just us alone and leaving them here, asleep, with unconscious children that could have been trying to kill us?" I speak again, Tanjiro shakes his head.

"They'll be fine, they'll wake up soon and the children should be knocked out for a while and won't wake up until after they all do, I'm sure of it" Tanjiro says before dragging me along with the help of Nezuko, I can't help but worry though.

Once we go out a door from one of the carts, both Tanjiro and I stop, I immediately plug my nose, there's a scent that is no doubt the demon, it's so foul, it's overwhelming even with the wind.

"How did we manage to sleep without smelling this.." I say, continuing to plug my nose.

"I think he's in the first cart, follow me." Tanjiro says, I nod and do what he does.

We grab onto the lip of the roof too pull ourselves up, Tanjiro told Nezuko to stay where we left her in the cart because it was dangerous and to go wake everyone.

"So you tell her to wake everyone now? Why not have just done it when we were there?" I ask, Tanjiro shrugs and I laugh a little, he can tell I'm just joking around.

We start running to the front until Tanjiro stops, I was behind him so I stop as well and look ahead. Standing there is a demon wearing a suit with black hair that has pink and blue on the tips.

"What's that? You're awake now? Morning! What a shame, you can't keep dreaming forever.." He says as he turns and waves, I can see now that his hand has a mouth on it.. weird, wonder why.

Both of us ready our swords for battle until I notice something odd..

"Why are you awake? Did I not show you a dream tailored to your every desire? If I had so wished it, they could've been dreams where your family was being slaughtered! Would you have liked that one better? 'Course not! Much too distressing" the demon covers his mouth hiding a chuckle.

"Oh here's an idea! I dream where your dear father comes back to life!" He says laughing. That made Tanjiro mad, I didn't know what to feel honestly.. I was mad but also sad at the same time..

"Intruding on ones soul is something I won't allow!" Tanjiro screams as he unsheathes his katana "this trespassing of yours, shall not stand!"

"Tanjiro! Calm down!" I say to him but he won't listen, he just looks angry, then the demon speaks.

"What a good fortune! Like a mock to flame he came right to me! Could this be a dream?" What is he talking about? "Now I can receive an even greater share of master Muzan's blood!" What?

"Water breathing.. tenth form, Constant Flux!" Before I have time to react Tanjiro is already getting ready to fight, as a dragon mass of water comes from his katana. "Tanjiro wait! Be careful!" I try to shout to him but it's no use, he isn't listening.

Suddenly Tanjiro falls as he gets close to the demon.. this isn't good.. it must be the blood demon art.. I need to get him.. all of the sudden he gets back up again though and starts swinging his katana at the demon who avoids it.

He goes to use a form again when he almost falls again, this time, dangerously close to the edge. "Tanjiro!" He gets up and gets back to it. I don't know what to do. He won't listen to me. What do I do!

It keeps happening and I can't do anything without getting through to him, he needs to calm down and realize what he's fighting or he could get seriously hurt. Tanjiro get out of your head!!

The he suddenly yells.. "Don't put words in the mouths of my family!! They would never say that!! You're vicious! It insults their memory!!" Tanjiro is about to loose it, I need to get through to him before the demon hurts him.

I run over to where he is about to strike the demon but as I'm about to shout to him again he uses his 10th form and the demon's head falls.

I stop in my tracks. Did he really just do that? "Tanjiro.." I mutter as he lands and the head rolls away.

"Did you know that was a twelve kizuki?? You needed to calm down! You could have gotten really hurt! Or worse! Be more careful!" I shout to him, it honestly feels like I'm the older sibling sometimes.

"That was too easy.." he says, completely ignoring what I said again.

"Hey! Don't ignore me now Tanjiro!!"

"I understand now.. I understand why the master ordered me to have you disposed of.." the demon head started to talk before it turned it to a bright red goop, taking a new form.

"Disposed with the hashira!!" It shouts as its head pops out again. "It's the nature of your very existence! You're like a gaping blistering sore on ones heel.." It speaks.

I look at Tanjiro and his face is of pure shock. I honestly saw it coming.. hence what I said before we even got on the train. Plus that fight was way to easy for Tanjiro, especially since he's only a mizunoto.

"I called it!! The train is a demon in disguise!!" I shout at Tanjiro. The demon pays no mind to it however.

It seems sometimes no matter what, when you think a fight has just ended.

The fight really only has just begun.

So now. The fight begins.
