THE next morning I felt myself being awoken by someone pulling on my arm.

"Mmn.. let go..." I murmured trying to pull my arm back as I open my eyes a bit.

I immediately woke up once I saw what was happening, the room was still dark as Nezuko had her arms and legs wrapped around me like a koala, her head resting on my chest, right above my heart. She was basically laying on top of me.

Zenitsu was trying to pull the girl off but she wouldn't budge, glaring at the boy from the corner of her eye.

Is it just me or do they have a worse relationship than they do in the show...?

I sweatdrop, bring my hand to nezuko's head as she immediately looks at me, eyes sparkling.

"Good morning Nezuko, can you get off of me?" I ask as she huffs before grudgingly agreeing.

"Y/n!~" Zenitsu exclaims as he goes to hug me but was pushed back by Nezuko who basically flung him to the other side of the room.

"Eh..." I murmur to myself before looking around, Inosuke and Tanjiro were nowhere to be seen as Zenitsu was still in the clothes the old lady gave us.

"Hmm hm hm!" Nezuko exclaims, wrapped her arms around my shoulder, pulling me closer to her as she rests her head on my shoulder.

"Ah... Nezuko," I say, bringing my hand to her head as she seems to smile brightly at me.

Once the doctor had said we're all better, we just had to wait until we got our clothes back when they were finished being cleaned.

"CAW!" I hear from behind me as I turn to see a crow flying towards us, the crow lands on the floor by Tanjiro before jumping into his hands.

"CAW! North! North-east! Your next mission is north! North-east! The four of you are to go to mount natagumo! Make your way there posthaste!" Tanjiro's crow caws as I frown in thought.

Mount natagumo... the spider-family... I wonder if...

"Always live your lives in a fashion where you are able to hold your heads up high. I wish you all luck in battle." The old woman nods her head as Zenitsu and Tanjiro do the same.

The four of us then quick leave, heading northeast towards mount natagumo.

On the way there, Inosuke finally says something, "Heads up high? Luck in battle? What's that mean?"

"To be honest, it is a little bit difficult to explain. To hold your head high, I guess it means whatever hand you're given in this life, you're able to conduct yourself in a way that's honorable so you're never ashamed." Tanjiro explains, nodding to himself.
