THE sound of a girl screaming echoed throughout the area as both me and tanjiro turn towards the noise.

"I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE STOP!" The girl sobs.

Me and Tanjiro walk towards the noise, crouching down by some trees in order not to be seen.

The spider sister from earlier was on her knees, crying as blood dripped down her face. Rui stood infront of her, webs in his hand as his eyes shift towards us.

"What are you looking at? This isn't a play, you know." He frowns at us Tanjiro gasps, glaring at him.

"Wh... What are you doing? Aren't you two fighting on the same side?" Tanjiro asks, taken aback by his actions.

"'The same side'?" Rui tilts his head to the side as he frowns, "Don't go phrasing it in such an infantile manner. The two of us are family. We are connected by a powerful bond."

I blink at him blankly, the entire situation can't help but remind me of the fact that I was killed by my step-father, who had planned my death with my mother.

"Regardless of that, this is between me and my sister. I'd you insist on interfering, I'll carve you up." Rui glares at us as the sister spider demon stay quiet, tilting her head down.

"You're wrong. Family or comrade, as king as you feel close to one another, that's all that really matters. Saying it's childish if you're not related by blood, that's not true at all! Not only that, but those who are strongly connected with each other give off the scent of trust. But all I'm picking up from you two is the scent of terror, hatred, and revulsion! That's not something you can call a bond!" Tanjiro yells, gripping his sword tightly. "It's a fake! A forgery!"

I would say something, but I don't think I should, or that I can.

I never had the chance to experience a family bond in a long, long time... I don't remember what it's like, and can't say what a positive family bond looks like. I shouldn't be the one who gets to say that they don't have a positive family bond.

I snap out of my thought process as I hear two gasps, the spider demon's eyes had both widened.

"You little..." Rui glares at us, nearly trembling in rage.

"Well, would you look at that! A demon that's a manageable size!" A demon slayer walks towards us as I have to bite back a laugh.

I know nows not the time to be laughing and all but the fact that he said that about one of the twelve kizuki is just too fucking funny!

I can't help the fact that the corners of my mouth twitch, but luckily I was able not to actually laugh at that.

"Even I can deal with a kid." The demon slayer smirks to himself.

"Yeah good luck with that.." I whisper, mostly to myself, as I deadpan at the slayer.

"This is my chance." He laughs, gripping his sword.
