"We never know when the demon might show up." This line drew Sora and Zenitsu's attention to the Hashira. "There's a demon on the train?!" Zenitsu asked. Renguko hummed. "WE'RE GOING TO THE DEMON BUT THE DEMON MIGHT COME TO US?!", Tears streaked Zenitsu's face. "I'M GETTING OFF RIGHT NOW."

Sora groaned, shaking her head. Not again.

She froze suddenly, an unconscious shiver passing through her spine. "There's a demon here." She said, looking around the compartment. "How do you know?" Tanjiro asked. "I can sense it." Sora replied, "Although it isn't very close yet."

"Excuse me." The train conductor entered the room. "What is he doing?" Tanjiro asked Renguko. "He will check your ticket and punch a hole in it." He told us. "Zenitsu sit up, will you?" Sora told the yellow haired boy who was on the floor. "Yes Sora." He jumped up immediately, sitting next to her.

Sora shook her head. He's rather cute. Wait... what am I thinking?

Her thoughts were interrupted as Tanjiro started to look around frantically and Sora felt the demon again, this time closer. The lights began to flicker. Renguko stood up and moved in front, "Please leave the compartment." He addressed the conductor, "and please overlook the fact that I have a sword." The lights closed and switched on again, revealing a big demon. Damn, he's ugly. " Did you use blood demon art to hide your enormous body?" Renguko spoke. "I had a hard time detecting you. If you hurt innocent people, I'll kill you." The demon roared at him and attacked. Renguko moved forward with surprising speed and crossed him, for a second Sora thought that his sword missed the head, but he moved his sword backwards, slashing the demon's head from the back.

Well that was quick.

"There is one more." He said, "Follow me." Tanjiro moved first and Sora drew her katana before following him. "Don't leave me behind!" She vaguely heard Zenitsu before hearing him and Inosuke behind her.

"I won't let you lay a finger on that man!', Renguko's loud voice rang out. The demon looked up at the newcomers. Sora grimaced, what is it with demons being ugly? " Didn't you hear me?" Renguko spoke again, "I said that I'm your opponent." "Alright!" Inosuke declared, "First come, first served." "Hang on!" Tanjiro called after him, "We have to help the passenger first!" "It won't matter once I kill it!"

Inosuke started to fight with the demon, but the Hashira clearly had other plans. Faster than Sora could think, he had pushed Inosuke away from the demon and brought the passenger away. "Go on to the next compartment." He said, " you'll be safe there." 

"We're good to go." The Hashira turned to them. He moved in front of them, almost guarding them  against the monster. He moved forward and in a second, he had sliced off the demon's head in a clean swipe.

Wow, he's so strong.

Sora wasn't the only one impressed by the Hashira. All three boys were staring at him in awe, requesting him to make them his students. Renguko gladly agreed.
