The two demons had been vanquished and the sun was about to rise. Lady Tamayo and Yushiro took a sleeping Nezuko and [Name] down to the basement before the sun's rays could harm them.
The child's ice sword melted when they fell asleep, the ice cube, however, did not.
The child was holding onto the frozen temari ball like it was a stuffed animal, whenever Yushiro tried to take it, the ice ball would get colder, eventually turning his fingertips blue.
He stopped trying to take it away after the 18th attempt.
Tanjiro came down to the basement after retrieving his checkered haori and was immediately tackled by Nezuko, "Nezuko!" He smiled, giving her the biggest hug he could muster.
"I moved them to the basement where sunlight won't reach them, ahead of daybreak." Miss Tamayo explained. The two demons were standing at the other end of the room.
Yushiro, still in his bloody clothes, was holding the sleeping younger demon securely in his arms. On the outside, he looked annoyed at the fact he was carrying them, but on the inside, his heart was swelling with an emotion similar to joy.
He softly smiled as he stared at [Name]'s peaceful face. He wouldn't admit it, but the demon child has grown on him. Earlier, he was angry at the fact that they spent so much time hogging Lady Tamayo, now, he didn't know who to be mad at.
Nezuko broke away from Tanjiro's hug and ran over to Miss Tamayo. She opened her arms and engulfed Miss Tamayo in the same hug she gave Tanjiro.
Yushiro gasped, an irk mark appearing on his forehead at the sight, "Why you!" He yelled, "Step away from Lady Tamayo! That's so rude!"
"Stop it, Yushiro. I don't mind at all." Miss Tamayo scolded, unfazed by Nezuko's affection.
In the blink of an eye, Yushiro returned to his calm state, "Yes, ma'am!"
Nezuko noticed that Yushiro wasn't receiving any affection, so she gave him a headpat, the same thing she did to [Name] whenever they were asleep.
Yushiro flinched at the contact, nearly dropped the sleeping child in his arms.
Lady Tamayo looked at Nezuko, her dull lavender eyes observing the scene, "Nezuko has been acting this way since she awoke." She said, "Do you think she's all right?"
"There's nothing to worry about" Tanjiro said reassuringly as he walked closer, "She's fine. She probably thinks you're part of our family."
"Family?" Lady Tamayo repeated, completely ignoring Yushiro's struggles. "But I thought the hypnosis placed on Nezuko only made humans look like family. Yushiro and I are demons."
