Third person POV.

"Tell me, how many people have you killed?!" Tanjiro yelped, squeezing his eyebrows together in anger. 

"GIMME A BREAK ALREADY! If women live to long, they turn ugly, and then they won't taste good anymore! I KILLED "EM FOR THWIE OWN GOOD!" The demon barked out, staring at Tanjiro.

(Y/N) and Nezuko just watched quietly while snuggling. Tanjiro gasped, gritting his teeth even harder. 

"You know, you should be thanking uh-" Tanjiro slit the demon's jaw. "Never mind." The demon gasped. Backing up until it hit the fence. 

Tanjiro pointed his blade at the demon, "What do you know about Muzan Kibutsuji? Tell me!" Tanjiro scowled at the demon.

The demon gasped. Starting to sweat, he just stayed quiet. Tanjiro looked at the purple-haired demon in shock. 

"Talk to me!" Tanjiro demanded, pointing the blade at the demon's neck. "Come on! Talk!" he shouted. 

"I- I can't." The demon stuttered out. Tanjiro looked pissed but confused at the same time. "I- I can't tell you." The demon spoke again. 

Sobbing emerged from the demon's mouth. "I can't do it." Tanjiro stared blankly. "I just can't." A flashback for the demon accrued in his mind. 

Muzan was strangling him, the demon foaming from his mouth. "You mustn't tell a soul. No one and can know anything about me. Do you understand?" Then Muzan held his finger up to his mouth. 

"Don't forget. I'm always watching you. So, if you tell anyone, I will know about it." 

"I can't say! I can't!" Then the demon shoved himself forward a bit squirming around. Tanjiro lowering his sword. 

While that was happening, (Y/N) and Nezuko walked over to the two humans. Standing Infront of them. 

"I can't! I can't! I can't!" The demon said sobbing. "Now the only thing I smell is fear." Tanjiro thought. "He's terrified!" Tanjiro thought again. 

As the demon grew his arms back, he yelped out "I can't tell you, alright?!" rushing forward at Tanjiro. 

Yelping, Tanjiro sliced off the demon's head and arms swiftly. The demon's head rolled on the ground fading to ashes. As the rest of the body deformed into red smoking ashes. After the smoke and ashes fell. 

There stood Tanjiro. "I failed to get any information again. " He pondered, sheathing his blade. Looking over at the two demon figures, he had this look on his face. Both of them asleep against the wall.

Tanjiro saw them both bleeding and got worried, yelping out their names with a worried look, "NEZUKO! (Y/N)!" 

He traveled over to them. They were asleep, peacefully. 

"Their asleep, and the bleeding stopped. So that does help them recover." He spoke, looking closely at the two. 

"I failed. I'm sorry. But just hang on. I promise. I will make you both human again." He announced, placing his forehead onto the two demons. 

He placed the box down, and shook (Y/N) awake. She woke up softly and hummed happily to see Tanjiro, helping him put Nezuko in the box, they stood up and held hands. 

They looked over at the boy and girl. The boys face showed just despair. Humanity was sick, yet so beautiful. 

Tanjiro and (Y/N) walked over to Kazumi. "Mr. Kazumi?" Tanjiro called softly. (Y/N) looked at the stars. hoping to catch a glimpse of a shooting star.

Tanjiro got down on his knees, pulling (Y/N's) attention away from the stars. "Are you alright?" Tanjiro asked softly. 

"Silly question..." (Y/N) thought knowing the boy clearly wasn't okay. Kazumi looked up at Tanjiro and cried out. 

"I lost my fiancée." He called. The moonlight shined directly onto the four. Even more clearly showing the boys eyes. 

"How could I be alright?" He asked, looking back down at the ground. The pebbled ground was a familiar sense to him. He lived here and walked through here with his fiancée. 

Tanjiro was a taken back at that statement. Probably realizing his question was quite dumb, but at least he cared enough to ask. Tanjiro softly leaned forward. "Mr. Kazumi..." 

"You have to go on. no matter what, in spite of losing people. Even though it's devastating." Mr. Kazumi growled and grabbed onto Tanjiro's hoari.  (Y/N) was ready to take action and protect Tanjiro. 

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!" He screamed, "You're just a kid! WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!"(Y/N) wasn't too pleased at the way he was acting. Tanjiro squeezed her hand telling her to calm down. 

Taking his free hand, Tanjiro softly placed it on Kazumi's hand. Slightly pulling it off, with the kindest smile you'll ever see. His eyebrows softly furrowed as he plastered a small smile on his lips. One that gave of pain. 

Mr. Kazumi gasped. He removed his hand off of Tanjiro as Tanjiro stood up. (Y/N) finally standing up straight. "We'll be on our way now." He softly stated to Kazumi. Pulling out a piece of cloth from his hoari, he handed it to Kazumi.

"Here." He softly said, while the boys eyes widened. "Hopefully you'll find something of Miss Satoko's in there." He said after Kazumi took the cloth. Staring at it with tearful eyes, he opened it up. Her bow.

Kazumi started sobbing leaning his forehead onto the bow. Tanjiro bowed, (Y/N) also bowing, they went on their way. 

After realizing something, Kazumi yelped out, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that! Please forgive me! I'm so sorry!" Kazumi cried, Tanjiro turned while the sun started to rise. Waving goodbye to the weeping boy. 

"I'm leaving the girl with you. Get her home safe!" Tanjiro called with a smile. "I'll do that!" Kazumi called back out. Saying something that the two couldn't pick up. The crow followed along Tanjiro from behind.

Tanjiro looked determined as he squeezed (Y/N)'s hand. His eyes showing rage, pure rage at the thought of so many passing. (Y/N) squeezed his hand softly as he stopped his tracks looking at him. She smiled under her bamboo nuzzle while handing him (F/C) flowers. 

He smiled softly as his gaze soon softened. Taking the flowers from her hand while the crow landed on his shoulder, gasping slightly at the sudden touch on his shoulder. 

"Head to Asakusa, Tokyo now!" The bird called, really annoyingly too. (Y/N)'s brows furrowed in annoyance. "Rumor has it a demon's lurking around there! Caw!!" Tanjiro gasped.  "I've got another mission already?"

"Oh, yes, you do~!" The crow sang, putting his wing out. "Could you at least give me a minute?" Tanjiro pleaded, (Y/N) giggled at the two fighting. "No time, move it!" "Just give me a chance-" "Just shut up and move it!" "Hey! Knock it off!"
