Right it's been awhile since I updated this story, I'm not giving up on it, it's just tricky to continue sometimes but here we are. Thankfully I have an idea of what I'm going to do.

Tanjiro and Amira entered the room that Nezuko was sleeping in, they knelt down beside her with Amira gently combing through her hair as she had been practicing to braid flowers inside her tresses, though it took many attempts.

Tanjiro gently took Nezuko's hand and held it to his head as he promises to come back to her as well to take care of Amira.

Amira remained quiet as she gently braided Nezuko's hair, mostly worried about how she had been sleeping so long, she let her hair go, staring at the sleeping girl, she gently pets her head before standing up."Nene..is okay.."She whispers softly as Tanjiro smiled at her before nodding in agreement with small tears in his eyes.

"Yea..Nezuko is going to be fine."

The two were now outside with Urokodaki, both wearing a blue haori with white clouds on them and their katanas by their sides.

Amira quietly stares at the haori in thought as she studies it carefully wanting to see if she could make her own, her attention was then brought back once their teacher started to speak.

"Don't worry about your sister. I'll take good care of her for you two." He nods to them while Tanjiro smiled at him with Amira holding up a thumbs up. 

"Thank you for everything."The young boy replied before running off followed by Amira who had left the haori open so it flowed behind her.

"We'll be going then, Urokodaki-sensei!"He turns to look at him with a wide smile as he stopped with Amira doing the same, she had her mask covering her face since she felt more comfortable than wearing only bandages to cover her mouth. 

They both ran off waving at him while Tanjiro paused for a moment remembering something."Please thank Sabito and Makomo for us ."

The two continued to run leaving their mentor in shock at them knowing the name of his two dead students.

After a few days of running, they both arrived at a forest filled with wisteria trees. This immediately caught Amira's attention, seeing that they looked like the most beautiful flowers she has ever seen, she felt them brush against her hair, making her head tilt back as she stares at them through her mask.

Though with the curiousity came the urge to collect them as she started collecting a few flowers and putting them in her clothes since she didn't have pockets. 

Tanjiro turned to look at her, freezing momentarily at the sight before huffing as he went to take her hand."Amira they aren't yours, and don't put them in your clothes, they might get crushed." He shook his head lightly as Amira slowly looked at him with her head tilting questioningly before running ahead instead once she spotted the stairs.

"AH Amira no."He cries out to her as he ran after her to try catching up.

Once he reached the top of the stairs, he looked around with a soft huff, easily spotting her among the crowd of people that were scattered around the area.

She was easily towering over most of them, she had stopped in front of two girls, staring at them which could be seen as creepy, though she was mostly curious about their strange eyes as well as how similar they looked other than their hair colour.

He approaches her and gently grabbed her by the haori."Don't run off like that when I'm trying to scold you." He pouts staring up at her only to be greeted by her mask, she gently pats his head, making him sigh as he knew he couldn't even be mad at her.
