The two teams were running through practice drills while Nezuko stood of to the side trying her best not to make eye contact with anyone. Until Tanjiro approached her.

"Nezuko why didn't you tell me you where a part of the hashira team," Tanjiro whispered.

Nezuko felt a wave of guilt wash over her. Her brother was the sweetest person in the world to her. Someone who trust almost everyone and Nezuko felt horrible about how she used that trust.

"I'm sorry," Nezuko whispered back.

Tanjiro gave her a sad smile "it's ok, I just wish you had been comfortable enough to tell me,"

A member from Tanjiros team that Nezuko recognized as Shinobou waves Tanjiro back over. Tanjiro said bye and ran to his team. Nezuko felt a new wave of guilt wash over when she watched her brothers team make angry signals with their hand pointing between her an him.

"Don't worry about your brother, everyone on our team loves him and won't hold this against him," a calm voice chimes in behind her.

Nezuko turned around to see Muichiro standing so close behind her, he was pretty much touching her. Nezuko tried to make it look natural when she jumped away slightly, blushing.

"S-sorry for lying to you all," Nezuko looked away.

Muichiro gave her a small smile "Why, you where just trying to help your team,"

Nezuko felt light a weight had been lifted from her chest.

"Thanks," Nezuko exhaled.

"Why are thankful," Muichiro asked curious.

Nezuko laughed "I don't really know,"

Muichiro stared down at Nezuko confused while she laughed. He's confused expression doomed to laughter as well.

Not far away Daki and Douma where peeking around a conveniently place wall staring at the two laughing teenagers.

"To think our adorable daughter might have children of her own one day," Douma dabbed the corner of his eyes.

"God I wish I had some one other then you to talk to about them," Daki sighed.

Muichiro and Nezuko where talking with each other when a blob of yellow hair approached them.

"Nezuko," Zenitsu called out getting g their attention.

Zenitsu has his chest puffed out with pride. He reminded them both of a bird.

"I forgive you," Zenitsu stated.

"I beg your pardon?" Muichiro asked.

"I forgive Nezuko for tricking me. After all she's going to be my future wife, and it's not good to enter into a marriage with any animosity," Zenitsu puffed out his chest even further.

"Is he you fiancé?" Muichiro asked giving Zenitsu a dark look.

"No," Nezuko sighed "Zenitsu how many times do I have to tell you I don't think of you that way," she took a couple away.

Tears seemed to form in Zenitsus eyes. "Nezuko why are you doing this to me," he broke down into ugly sobs, collapsing into his knees, and clutching onto the edge of Nezukos skirt.

"Zenitsu please stop, your making a seen," Nezuko could feel the eyes of both teams start peering over at the situation unfolding.

"Please Nezuko dont leave me," He wailed wiping his face on the the fabric in his hands.

Muichiro was giving Zenitsu the darkest glare.

Someone ripped Zenitsu hands away from Nezuko. "Get you filthy hands off my little sister pig,"

It took a moment for Nezuko to register that this wasn't Tanjiro. She looked up and saw Rui, and he looked pissed.  

As did the other member of her team standing behind him.
