" This is it, isn't it?" Inosuke's voice trembled as he eyed the big train. "The ruler of the land!" Sora blinked," That's a train." "Shut up!" Inosuke's arm lashed out, nearly hitting her face. "Hey! Are you trying to hit her?!", Zenitsu exclaimed furiously. " I'm okay." Sora assured him as Inosuke said, " I'll attack first." Tanjiro interrupted, "Wait Inosuke! Think of it as the guardian of this land; it would be inappropriate to attack suddenly." "It's a train." Zenitsu's voice was filled with disbelief, "Didn't u hear what she said? Train. Do u understand? It's a transportation vehicle... U idiot."
"Hey, what's Inosuke up to?" Sora's voice drew the boys' attention to the third boy of the group. Inosuke did not reply, but rushed at the train, headbutting it. "Stop that! It's embarrassing!" Zenitsu complained. "
"Hey Tanjiro, would u like to headbutt the train and see if you can crack it?" Sora suggested, having heard stories of Tanjiro's hard forehead. "Should I?" Tanjiro seemed to be seriously considering the proposal. "NO!" Zenitsu threw a glare at Sora who grinned back in return.
"What are you doing?" A voice drew the group's attention to two railway authorities running towards them. "They have swords." One of them said, pointing, "Call the police!". "This is bad!", Zenitsu pulled the three of them away quickly," Run, just run!" After they managed to escape, Sora asked, " Why did we run from the police?" "Because the demon Slayer corps is not identified by the government. " Zenitsu explained, " Even if we tell them about demons no one will believe us." "But we risk our lives to fight demons." Tanjiro said. "We don't get a day about that." Zenitsu's voice sounded sad, "Anyway let's hide our swords in our clothes."
As they hid their swords, a sound interrupted them and the four of them turned to see the train rapidly leaving. "Let's go deal with the ruler of the land!" Inosuke jumped onto the train, leaving Zenitsu stuttering in indignation. Tanjiro jumped after him. " Those idiots." Zenitsu groaned. "Come on Zenitsu." Sora told him, before jumping into the train.
"Soraaaa!" Said girl turned as her name was called to see Zenitsu dangling by the rails of the train. "Zenitsu!" Tanjiro and Inosuke called out to him before the three of them managed to pull the boy onto the train. Zenitsu started crying obnoxiously, wrapping his arms around Sora's waist. "I thought I was gonna dieee." He whined. Sora patted his head, "well you're okay now, so please stop putting snot in my shirt." When the boy did not seem to hear her, she said, "Zenitsu please let go while I'm being nice or I'll punch you." The boy promptly let go of Sora, jumping away from her.
"Guys let's go." Tanjiro said and when Sora turned to him, she saw the shimmer of a smile on his face.
........................................................................."This Rengoku guy is a Hashira right?" Zenitsu asked, dragging Inosuke behind him, "Are you sure you'll recognise him?" " yes.", Tanjiro replied, " He has a flashy hairstyle and I remember his scent." "Yellow hair with orange stripes." Sora said dryly, " once you've seen him, it's hard to forget."
"DELICIOUS."
A voice rang out interrupting their conversation and shaking the train. "What was that? " Zenitsu asked, as Tanjiro opened the compartment door to be greeted by another gust of"delicious". "Renguko." Sora guessed. "That's Renguko?" Zenitsu whispered. "Yes." Tanjiro replied.
"Are we sure he's not a random con man?"
"Be nice Zenitsu."
"Sorry ma'am."
"Um... Mr. Renguko?" Tanjiro's voice was tiny as he 'politely' tried to interrupt the Hashiras eating ceremony. Sora did not feel like he was doing a great job.
"DELICIOUS." The Hashira turned to the four with a mouth filled smile. "Yes you've already made that clear." Tanjiro said, making Sora snort.
"You're the kids from master's mansion the other day." He said, looking at Tanjiro and Sora. "You are the sun walking demon." "Yep that's me." Sora nodded solemnly. He turned to Tanjiro, "and inside that box is...?" Tanjiro gave that smile which never failed to win people over, although Sora could feel his nervousness through the smile. "Yes." He said, "My sister Nezuko."
"Since master has accepted the two of you, I won't say anything for now." Renguko replied, turning his head away.
Sora stopped herself from scoffing.
"Sit." Renguko patted the seat next to him, motioning for Tanjiro to join him.
Sora plopped down on an empty seat across the Hashira, before turning to the other two boys, Zenitsu stopping Inosuke from jumping out of the window. "Zenitsu, leave the poor kid alone." Sora called him.
"But he'll jump out!" He complained.
"Close the window."
"Soraaa." Zenitsu ran over to her. "Personal space, Zenitsu." Sora put out her arm in warning only to end up smacking Zenitsu's face, "oops are you okay?" "Perfectly fine." He groaned, holding his nose, "That totally did not hurt."
"Sorry ". "No it's fine." Zenitsu said, his eyes sparkling, "By the way, will you tell me how you can move in the sun?" "Huh?", Sora turned towards the boy. He was looking at her expectantly. " Oh." She said looking away, "Well, I don't know."
"How come?"
"Well I've been able to walk in the sun for as long as I remember."
"Oh then—"
"SO FAST!" Sora and Zenitsu turned towards Inosuke's voice. "Would you say he is stupid or crazy?" Zenitsu sounded disgruntled. "He's so aggressively enthusiastic all the time." Sora laughed, "well since he's a demon Slayer, I'm sure being that helps him."
"I've never seen you fight." Zenitsu told Sora, "Are you strong?" Sora turned to him. "I think I am." She nodded, "Are you?" "I dunno." Zenitsu shrugged. "If you can beat me, then you are strong.", Sora said thoughtfully.
"If I beat you, will you go out with me?"
"Beat me first, lover boy. Then we'll see."
