Two figures were trudging along the road, both different in size and looks but as close as could be siblings.

Amira was quietly walking beside Tanjiro, eyeing him worriedly, her mask was now on the side of her head. A small frown forming on her forehead as she watches him lightly limping.

It was getting late and thankfully they were making progress on getting back to Urokodaki and Nezuko, though it was a slow trip with how injured he was.
But Tanjiro kept walking, pushing himself forward while trying to keep a calm expression. Easily smelling the overwhelming worry coming from Amira.

 The scent increased tenfold as he nearly trips over his feet, falling forward only to be easily caught by his companion, who hoists him up into her arms and quickly jogs off.

Amira remained quiet as she uses some of her stamina to quickly make their way towards the mountain, her eyes focused forward as she held him like he was a child or a fragile doll. She knew he was strong but still she wants him to know he could rely on her, no matter what.

Tanjiro sighs softly relaxing in her arms while listening to her beating heart, his eyes closing for a moment as he remembers the last time he was held like this, when he was younger.

He couldn't help but worry though, she isn't supposed to be carrying him or his burdens, how could he be someone reliable if he couldn't even walk back home.
Though in his current state where his body was in pain, he couldn't push himself to struggle so instead he let himself slowly fall asleep.

After around 30 minutes of her jogging, she slows down, approaching the familiar house, she couldn't help but smile as she looked down at Tanjiro, seeing the peaceful expression on his face as he slept.

The peace was interrupted at the sound of the door being kicked down, followed by a soft yelp from Tanjiro as he woke up looking towards the direction in surprise.

A burst of happiness and shock filled their cores, seeing the girl they were doing all this for, slowly walking out of the house before she turns to look at them.

"Nezuko..its you."The boy whispered as he quickly got out of Amira's arms, who barely noticed as she was too busy drinking in the sight of the girl, that sweet girl.

"You're awake."He yelled out as she started running towards them while he did the same, his eyes wide in disbelief and happiness as he desperately runs towards her with his remaining strength, only to trip halfway.

Amira quickly followed behind as Nezuko moved to wrap her arms around her brother, who did the same in turn, with Amira being third to join the hug.

She hugged both of them close to her with desperation, holding them like they were the only ones keeping her alive, her eyes welling with tears as she heard him cry.
She could feel her heart shatter as he wailed, easily feeling the pain he was letting out.

Tanjiro held his sister close while his other hand was gripping Amira's haori tightly , he cries holding onto the two of them."Why did you have to sleep for so long..I thought you were never going to wake up. I was afraid you were going to die." He softly sniffles shaking his head.

Amira gently places her hand on the side of Nezuko's head as she combs her fingers through her hair, while reassuring herself that the young girl was really there with them.

From farther ahead, Amira looked up spotting a familiar figure with his signature tengu mask, her eyes widen for a moment but she remained with the two siblings as she held them close.
