Taisho Period

Recap

The time that everything takes place.

We see a new generation of young children that are training to be able to get recruited into the reigns of the Demon Slayer Corps.

One of these said children is, Tanjiro Kamado, the young boy who is trying to help his younger sister, Nezuko Kamado, who Y/N, a former member of the Slayer Corps, had decided to save after the attack on the Kamado Family.

They had met when Tanjiro was told that his sister was saved by a demon, which in his mind did not seem fathomable.

At this time, the demon that saved the girl and also the brother of said girl were talking, someone had arrived and went straight on the attack toward both the demons that were in view.

This person will later be known as the former Water Hashira, Sakonji Urokodaki, the man who will/has trained Tanjiro so he can find a way to turn his sister back into a human.

After the encounter between the three parties, they had a little talk where things were told between the individuals. They had apologized for the altercation that they had gotten in.

Yet, before they went their separate ways, Y/N had asked Tanjiro to do one thing for him, "Tanjiro, take care of Nezuko for me," which was the last thing that was exchanged between them.


Present Day

Two Years Later

It has been two years since I had last seen the two siblings. I worried for the girl, since I still couldn't get a reading on where she was or if she was alive.

I tried to go look for her on several occasions, yet, every time that I tried to leave, I would notice that I was being tailed by several of the other higher ups in the Twelve Kizuki.

So, I decided to make sure I would not put that girl and boy in any kind of trouble. With me being tailed every time I went out, I decided to abandon the search until I can somewhat gain trust back from the others.

During this time, I won't necessarily say that I was on the best terms with everyone.

Muzan and I can't be left in a room alone or else we will destroy the hideout again.

Doma kept trying to get close to me and extort information about why I would go out so often just for me to sudden stop, which I won't lie had irritated me to the point I almost decided to strike him.

Akaza kept a somewhat normal relation with me as he didn't truly care about what I was doing so long as I kept fighting him for all of eternity.

Kokushibo and I had gotten into one enormous fight where I told him, that he would always no matter how long he was around, would forever be second best to his brother. Let's just say that we aren't on speaking terms, but he won't start something with me, even if we are left alone in a room.

Gyutaro and I somehow got closer after he rescued me from one of Daki's attacks and I finally told her I had no interest in her. I tried to let her down easily, but of course, nothing is as easy as it seems. She won't take no for an answer.

Timeskip

It was finally nighttime. I was able to escape the newly rebuilt hideout with being seen or followed.

I remember the smell of that old man and Tanjiro, so if I can find where their scent of blood is the most potent, then I have the highest chance of actually finding them and finding out what had occurred over the last two years.

I had picked up this scent of blood, but no luck, it usually turns out to be a dead end as it's neither Tanjiro's or the old man's blood.

This continued to happen again and again and again and... you get the idea I don't have a great sense of smell, I mean what am I a dog?

For the past two days I've been traveling around and still haven't found a single scent of blood that is related to either of the men. But, I can't just give up again, I will find them and I will know what happened with the girl and if Tanjiro learned anything from that old man.

Timeskip

It has been over a week now.

I still have yet to pick up either of their scent.

How is this possible.

I'm a nearly a 500 year old demon and I can't use this nose to find the scent of blood of people I need to find.

But, it works perfectly to be able to smell some udon, but not any damn blood. I don't even need to eat food so why can I smell that better than something I hunt for once a month.

Let's just keep going hopefully this nose decides to work and find where they're staying at.

I continue traveling and right before I was going to look for a hotel to stay at whilst I was in the city, I get a sudden stinging sensation.

I start sniffing the air and whipped my head ironically like a dog towards where the smell was coming from.

My eyes widen.

It can't be.

Why haven't I been able to feel you for the past two years?

Nezuko.
