"You called, Master." The six eyed demon said, emerging from the dark mist. "Why, yes." He stared deep into Kokushibo's soul. "You may look up." The demon slowly raised his head to meet his master's gaze. "As you know, I'm working on a little something for our fellow Demon Slayer we've taken a liking too." As for we, it's really mostly the Master of the Demons. "Well. Also known as your great great grand son, right?" Kokushibo felt as if time had stopped. What? Is all he could process in his mind. "Oh. You didn't know? Yes, y'all are related. I would've assumed you'd know your brother had kids who also eventually had kids." He stated, walking closer to him. "That's why your great great grand son is able to use Sun Breathing." His voice sharpened as he spoke of the breathing technique that almost disposed of him. Now meeting his gaze more clearly, he grinned. Evilly. "Kokushibo. My best, strongest demon." He started praising this poor demon into a spell. Getting him to soften up to make him say or do whatever. "You do know I won't let you kill him. Don't you?" The six eyed demon nodded slowly, but he honestly didn't care if he had to or not. After all, he did kill his own brother. "As I can tell. You don't really care that much, am I right?" He lifted up his chin softly. "I mean. After all. You did kill your brother." The demon said nothing. He was just waiting for the plot twist of his Master's emotions. "Hmm." The Master hummed underneath his breath. "I'm giving you a new mission." That's when Kokushibo gave his full attention, awaiting the new task at hand. "But this one is different."

"You'll be assisting Akaza. He'll explain what it is you two will have to accomplish." The demon bowed down, assuring his Master that he won't fail him. "Yes, Master."
"Good. Now you may go. Akaza will be east from here. Head to where there is a small town with bright lights. He'll be waiting by the forest where the sun will rise first at dawn." The Master gave Kokushibo the signals to leave.
After his leave, the Master walked slowly to his desk, pulling out a book of nocturnal animals just for the hell of it.

"Now your days are numbered,

Tanjiro Kamado."

Pov: Tanjiro

I can't help but feel this shiver down my spine. It's not even morning yet and I'm feeling cold. Not sick cold, but as if something is gently touching my back. It's creeping me out. I look up to see Kyojuro sound asleep, breathing very quietly and peacefully. I smile. How cute. I cup my hand around his cheek, feeling the warmth it brings to me. "Mm." Oh- did I wake him? No, he's still asleep, but I almost did though. But I need sleep. I just wish this lingering feeling left already. It's as if somebody's watching me. Planning something terrific. I yawn. There's no point in dwelling on this now. I need sleep. And so, I closed my eyes and sank back into my dreams.

"Tanjiro, wakey wakey." Ah, that's Kyojuro's voice. I slowly raise my eyebrows and lift up my head. "I'm up.. I'm- .. up" I heard him giggle. "If you're up, then open your eyes silly." He said, patting and rubbing my head. I did as he asked while I brought my hand to his cheek again. "Oh, so that was you who touched my face last night. It's the same touch I felt when I was asleep. I just thought it was in my head." My mouth dropped a little. "So you did wake up!" I whispered-shouted. "Kinda. I was still asleep, just barely awake if that makes sense." I nodded. He then arose from the bed and got dressed... In front of me. I blushed and turned away quickly so he didn't see how red my cheeks got. "Aw, how cute. No need to hide your face, I already saw you turn into a tomato."
"Really??"
"Yes silly. Just look, I'm only shirtless after all." I calmly rested my hands down on my lap and flushed up in red. I couldn't help but stare at his chest. Totally ignoring his battle scar from the Train Mission. "What is it?" His voice gentle as the night fall. "Nothing," I sounded like I wanted to add on, but I didn't. I'm just stuck on how good looking he is. "Mhm, sure sounded like you wanted to add on!" He laughed, and while he was laughing I had gotten up and hugged him. I took him by surprise, leaving him stunned. "Are you feeling better now? You can somewhat walk now." His voice brings a light feeling to my chest. "It still kinda hurts but, I think I'll be okay." I grinned and kissed his cheek. "Let's go," I slightly pulled his hand. "I think we're all a bit hungry, don't ya think?"
