#6: How?

"Yo, Kamado student."

The person was Rengoku. Tanjiro stood there in silent. The other people come out. "Sir Kyojuro?" Genya said as he saw Rengoku. Rengoku look at Genya and smile but the smile was different than the other smile. The smile is just like he want to make a smirk. It make Genya feel a bit scared. Rengoku then look at Inosuke who was hiding behind Tanjiro. Inosuke notice it and Rengoku make his smirk more bigger and glare at Inosuke. Inosuke felt shiver at his hole body. He shaking and try to avoid eyes contact with Rengoku. Tanjiro notice it and hold Inosuke hand and then hug him. "What wrong Inosuke?" Tanjiro ask but Inosuke didn't answer the question.

"Tanjiro." Rengoku voice make Tanjiro twitch. He look at Rengoku while still hugging Inosuke shaking body. "S-Sir may I ask you a question?" Tanjiro said in shaking voice. "Sure what is it?" Rengoku said with a smile. "H-How did you manage to get in our b-bakery when Kanao already c-close it?" He ask. Rengoku look at Tanjiro not answering the question. "GYAAHH!!" It was Zenitsu voice. Everybody look at Zenitsu and they also saw Uzui. Uzui was grabbing Zenitsu hand. He didn't meant any harm for real. It was Zenitsu who got too much scared and when he touch him he suddenly yelled. Uzui let go off Zenitsu hand and Zenitsu quickly get behind Tanjiro. "It's okay Zenitsu." Tanjiro said try to calm down the blonde. Zenitsu was crying like always and that what make people call him a crybaby.

When Tanjiro remember about Rengoku again, he turn his head to where Rengoku at but the only thing he meet is Rengoku already in front of him. They really is close. Too close make Tanjiro feel like he want to run away from his position right now. Tanjiro flinch as he saw Rengoku already in front of him. Just what the fuck. Rengoku grab Tanjiro hand make Tanjiro release his hug from Inosuke. Tanjiro hand was also released from Zenitsu which is the one that Zenitsu hold when he get behind Tanjiro. Tanjiro was shock with Rengoku action. "W-what?" He said in confused. Rengoku was hugging him. He wish he could get away but it just he can't move. Rengoku hug was too strong. "Tanjiro can I be by your side?" Rengoku ask as he whispering at Tanjiro ears. "Hu-huh?" The heck with the question. Tanjiro was more confused with what going on.

*RING* *RING*

Tanjiro phone was ringing make Rengoku release the hug. Everyone pay theirs attention to him. Tanjiro pick up the phone.

"Hello?"
"Ah, Tanjiro."
"Oh! Mom. Do you need anything?"
"I.... Could you just come home back please?"
"Mom, what wrong?"
"There was a people from outside the house. They was trying to break in. I'm scared if something bad gonna happen."
"What?! Don't worry mom. I'll come home right now."

*TUT*

Tanjiro hang up the phone and put it back in his pocket. He was about to run away to the bakery door but he's shirt was pulled by someone. Tanjiro look around him and he saw Inosuke. He looks scared. Tanjiro take a look at Zenitsu face and he is still crying. Tanjiro felt guilty to leave his two friends but he has to protect his family from danger 'cause he has made the promise with his dad.

Tanjiro stop rushing to the front door and start getting closer to Inosuke and Zenitsu. Inosuke tears fall down a bit while Zenitsu try to make himself stop crying. Tanjiro smile and start talking. "I'm very sorry but I really have to go." Tanjiro said in a low and sad tone loud enough to make everyone hear him. Everyone look at Tanjiro expect for Uzui who is keep looking at Zenitsu crying face. Rengoku hold Tanjiro wrist gently. "Is there an important reason for you to leave this two that much?" He ask the young boy. Tanjiro look at the two and look back at Rengoku. He nod. "My mom said that someone was trying to break in the house. I promise to my father that I will protect my family when he's gone. Now I have to do my job." Tanjiro said. Rengoku look at Uzui and nod to his best friend. "I'll come with you can I? I can help if there anything needed." Rengoku said looking at the red hair boy excitedly. Tanjiro blink for a moment before agree with the offer.
