POV Tanjiro :

More days passed, the trainning classes are hard and exhausting, but I don't complain ! This is the best way to be the greatest hero !

We're getting to the primary section with the group, to get Yuki. We pick her up and go to the exit.

Zenitsu - I'm tired of training !.... It's too exhausting...

Genya - Then what are you doing here dude ?

Zenitsu - You don't need to know my reasons..

As we get out of school, we see a woman standing not far, like she's waiting for someone. When Inosuke sees her, he freezes and puts Yuki behind him.

Inosuke - The fuck are you doing here ?..

The woman - I'm here to pick you up Inosuke !

Inosuke - We don't need you to do anything for us.

Yuki - Nii-chan... it's her right ?...

He starts backing away as the woman comes closer. Now that she's closer I can tell she clearly has the same scent as Inosuke and Yuki. She has long dark blue hair, tied in her back, and the same face as Inosuke's.

Inosuke - Don't come closer to us.

- What's wrong Inosuke ? Do you know her ?

The woman - What ? You didn't tell your friends about your lovely mother ?

Zenitsu - "Mother" ?

Inosuke - Tch. Well no because I never considered you as our mother.

Kotoha - Well, I'll present myself then ! I am Kotoha Hashibira, Inosuke's mom ! Darling, who is this kid you're hidding behind you ?

Inosuke - You ain't my "mom" so don't call me that. Why would you want to know her ? You wouldn't care anyway.

Kotoha - I kind of need to know ! But let me guess, she's the last one right ?

What are they talking about ??.. Inosuke is clearly on the defensive. There's no doubt that she's their mom, but why is Inosuke saying that ? Weren't them living with her ?

Kotoha - Since you stay silent, I suppose I'm right. Come on, let's go home !

Inosuke - We're not going with you.

He carries Yuki and makes his way past Kotoha-san, and we follow him.

Inosuke - (Why is she here ?!)

- Can you give us explainations Inosuke ?

Inosuke - I don't want to.

Kanao - What did she mean by asking if Yuki was the last one ?

Inosuke - I said, I don't want to talk about it.

Zenitsu - But weren't you living with her ? When you go home, it's not to her house ?

Inosuke - WHY DO YOU ASK SO MANY FUCKING QUESTIONS ??!!

- Because it's weird !... Where does she comes from ? And why don't you live with her ?..

Yuki - You should tell them Nii-chan..

Inosuke - I don't know....

Yuki - She was going to come back anyway, right ?.. So you would have to tell them at one point.

Inosuke - *sigh* Fine... It's a long.. fucking story so let's just.. go somewhere we can seat.. (Tch I don't like talking about this...)

And so we go in a random park and seat under a kiosk, and Inosuke starts talking.
