"Say what?!" Tanjiro basically yelled while blushing. After Kaito got his check-up, they returned home, and right now Kyojuro told Tanjiro about how he felt. "I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to ask something so stupid." Kyojuro told Tanjiro while getting up from their bed, but Tanjiro immediately yanked him by the arm to sit him down. "I don't think it's stupid. I was just caught by surprise." Tanjiro shyly told Kyojuro. This made Kyojuro really happy, that he couldn't help but hug Tanjiro. Tanjiro giggled at this and when they were about to kiss, Giyuu barged in while carrying Kaito who looked really mad. Kaito had his arms crossed while glaring at Kyojuro and shaking his head in shame. "Kaito, don't you want a younger sibling?" Tanjiro told him and Kaito just growled at this, before sticking his tongue out at Kyojuro. "I guess not..." Tanjiro awkwardly thought to himself, but then he heard a knock at the door. "I'll go get that." Tanjiro told them while trying to escape the awkward situation, which worked.

"Oh hey Tengen, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma. What brings you here?" Tanjiro told them while smiling. "We heard that Kaito was finally able to turn into his human form, so we brought him some gifts." Suma told him while smiling. "Oh, you didn't have to, and please come in." Tanjiro told them while being thankful. "It was no problem." Tengen told him while smiling, before they all walked in. "Do you four want to eat anything?" Tanjiro asked them, but then he heard another knock on his door. "Oh, I'll be right back." Tanjiro told them before going to open the door. "Hey Muichiro and Yuichiro. What brings you here?" Tanjiro told them while Muichiro smiled at him. "We wanted to bring Kaito a gift, since we heard that he was finally able to turn into his human form." Muichiro told Tanjiro and Tanjiro thanked them for the gift, before the twins walked in with Tanjiro's permission.

"Maybe we should plan a party to celebrate." Tanjiro told Giyuu while they were eating dinner with everyone. "Yeah, sounds nice." Giyuu told him while smiling. "If I may, I would like to plan this party. I'm pretty good at it." Tengen told them and Tanjiro happily agreed to this, since it's better to have as much helping hands as possible.

Everyone was talking about it during dinner and decided to have the party in two months or so, since they needed time for everything. It was also because it would take some time to teach Kaito how to talk and walk, since he was never able to transform and get used to his human form. Also, Shinubo told me that it was something normal for late bloomers and that he would actually be able to learn very quickly how to talk and walk. Seems like I still have a lot of learning to do from this odd world.

The Next Day

Tanjiro
I was outside while watching Giyuu teaching Kaito how to walk, while I was brushing Kyojuro's hair. Giyuu also seemed to be trying to motivate Kaito, but Kaito just seemed done and frustrated. "Seems like those two are having fun." Kyojuro told me sarcastically, which made me laugh, while Giyuu and Kaito glared at us. This made me laugh even more, and Kyojuro also laughed at this. "Oh, hey Inosuke." I told Inosuke when I noticed him walking towards us, as I stood up to stretch from feeling sore of sitting for a long time. I could already see the annoyed face that Giyuu was making, which made me roll my eyes. You see Inosuke and I started becoming friends, but he kept trying to fight Giyuu each time. Giyuu didn't seem to mind though that I was friends with Inosuke like he does with Muichiro. It's quite odd, but I decided to not think much about it. Also, Inosuke seems more calm and less wild today. "Hey Gonpachiro." He told me while holding something in his fist. "I brought these for your pup." He told me while handing me some acorns. "Oh my...um...thank you very much. You're so...kind." I told him as I awkwardly smiled at him, while Kaito seemed disgusted and confused by the odd gift. I could hear Kyojuro trying to hold in his laughter, while Giyuu also seemed weirded out by such a gift for his son. I was sort of used to it though, since that's what he usually brings as a gift. "It was nothing." Inosuke told me while sounding proud. It reminded me so much of my siblings that I couldn't help but pet his head like I would do to them. He seemed shocked by this, but didn't say a thing. He also smelled like he was really happy, but I was still worried that I might've did something wrong. "Sorry, it's a habit of mine." I told him while moving my hand away. "It's fine..." He mumbled while trying to act like his usual self. "Alright, how about we all go inside to eat?" I asked everyone and they nodded in agreement. "You better not eat everything, boar head." Giyuu told Inosuke, but Inosuke just laughed at this as a way to show his disagreement.

Kyojuro
After eating, Giyuu decided to show Kaito what he does as a leader, since Kaito would be the next once he was old enough. Inosuke decided to follow them since he seemed interested about what Giyuu talked about, so now I was alone with Tanjiro.

Tanjiro was taken by surprise when he was picked up bridal style by Kyojuro, after he finished washing the dishes. "Kyojuro?!" He yelled from being surprised while Kyojuro just smiled at him. "Could we do it now? We're alone right now and they won't be back for a few hours." Kyojuro told Tanjiro while rubbing his cheek with his in a affectionate way. "B-But just for a bit." Tanjiro mumbled while blushing. This made Kyojuro really happy and excited, so he immediately took Tanjiro to their bedroom.
