Alluka felt a soft but sharp finger poke at her cheek, making her stir in her sleep.

The hand that had poked her cheek recoiled, and Alluka muttered something under her breath. Alluka pushed herself up with her arm and rubbed at her eyes, flinching at the candlelight beside her in the unknown place she rested in.

When her eyes could finally adapt to the light, she fully opened them and looked around the room until she saw a girl standing in the shadows.

But strangely enough, there in the shadows, the girl with the very cute hair and outfit held bamboo in her mouth... for some reason.

"Who are you?" Alluka asked the girl, but she only blinked in response, followed with her hand pointing to her bamboo, alluding to her inability to speak.

"Oh," Alluka said before suddenly brightening up and saying, "I'm Alluka!" She said with a smile.

Knock
Knock
Knock

Alluka's head snapped to the door in unexpected fright. She wasn't actually scared, just didn't expect a knock at the door.

"Hello?" A voice of a male heard behind the door, and while Alluka didn't recognize it, the bamboo girl did.

The girl skipped to the door, swinging it open to be greeted by a red haired boy with cool earrings.

"Ah! Nezuko, what are you doing here?" He asked her.

But like before with Alluka, the girl, or Nezuko, didn't respond. This time though, she hummed in response.

She exited the room and strolled to a place that Alluka couldn't see from her bed that she was laying in.

The boy walked into the room and stood three feet away from Alluka's bed as if to give her a sense of security.

"Hi, I'm Tanjiro Kamado, do you mind telling me yours?" He asked with a kind voice, trying not to scare her - after all, she is only eleven years old.

"Oh," she said, "do you mind if I call you Tanji-San?

Alluka nodded. "I'm Alluka Zoldyck, do you know why I'm here?" She asked in curiosity.

"Well," He started, but a voice from where Nezuko probably went yelled out to Tanji-San. "Tanjiro! Is she awake?"

In which Tanjiro answered with a "Yeah!" before turning back to Alluka. "My sensei, Urakodaki, found you unconscious in the woods, so he brought you here."

Alluka stayed silent, before the events of Killua and Illumi dragged into her mind. Her pupils dilated.

"Have you seen a boy with silver hair, with cuts and bruises all over?" She needed to know if her Onii-Chan was okay.

Concern painted its colors on Tanjirou's face. "No, but what do you mean by cuts and bruises?"

Alluka sucked in a breath. "We were attacked. I fell unconscious and I don't know what happened."

"Were you attacked by a demon?"

"Illumi's a demon?"

"What?"

"What?"

"Who's Illumi?"

"My eldest brother."

"Is he a demon?"

"Not literally."

"Well then why did he attack you?"

Alluka frowned. "Because he wants to kill me and take my other brother to hurt him."
