Hayashi Sora lost both her parents in a demon attack and therefore dedicated her life to fighting demons. Fun fact? She is a demon herself. What could go wrong?
Sora wasn't sure when she fell asleep from the spell, but she sure remembered the dream.
She woke up lying on the ground. "Ugh where am I?" She glanced down at herself and found herself in a poodle of water, all wet. Wasn't I on the train? "Sora!", an all too familiar voice called out to her and Sora looked up at the running figure of her little brother, "Why are you on the ground? Did you fall?" "Takeo?", Her brother's name sounded foreign to her ears, "Is it really you?". "Who else would it be?" He replied, "Come on, mother's prepared dinner.". "Mother...?" Sora whispered, before following the boy towards the house she spotted and recognised, as if from a dream.
"Mom! Dad! Sora's home!" Takeo called out, pushing the door open for her. "Sora!" Her father's voice called her, "you're late today. Did u get trouble on the way?" Sora shook her head, "No I'm alright."
I guess it was a bad dream.
"Sit down." Her mother laid out the table and the delicious smell of food filled Sora up, making her mouth water automatically. Her stomach growled at that moment, causing her parents to laugh. "Are you hungry?" Her mother asked her. "Well you better eat quickly or I'll eat everything up.", Takeo started to stuff food into his mouth. Sora glared, grabbing at the food on the table, "I'm hungry too Takeo. You'll fall sick if you eat too much."
"You're saying that so that you can eat more than me."
"Kids don't start arguing now."
"Sora."
"What is it, dad?"
"Wake up."
"....what?"
Sora's head jerked up towards the man who was sitting next to her, "What are you talking about?" "You're in danger, Sora." He told her, "your friends need your help."
But wasn't that a dream?
As though he had read her mind, he said, "You're in the dream right now. Wake up!" "How do I wake up?!" The question came out with an unexpected desperation. Her father simply reached out and touched her forehead, "Go now. Good luck Sora."
Sora sat up with a gasp, "Dad?!" However the first thing Sora saw as soon as she woke up was the pink flames engulfing the seat next to her. She flinched, scrambling away from the flames.
"What the- Nezuko?" Her eyes fell on the girl leaning next to Tanjiro as the flames subsided. "Did you do that?" Nezuko hummed, moving over to her, looking almost happy. Sora looked around at the sleeping figures of her friends, her eyes widening as they landed on the Hashira.
He's holding the girl by her neck while he's asleep? How is he doing that?
Her eyes took in the situation she was in. They're tied by the wrists. Who even are these people? Then her attention fell on Tanjiro, whose rope had been burnt off. Sora turned to Nezuko, "Did you do that?" Nezuko nodded and Sora said, "Can you do it for the others too?" Nezuko didn't take long to burn off the ropes and Sora shook Zenitsu quickly, trying to wake him. However, her attention was drawn to Tanjiro as he sat up sharply on his seat, his hand hovering near his neck. "Nezuko are you alright?", He turned to his sister, worriedly. Nezuko put her hands on her head, looking at her brother silently and Tanjiro smiled. "Nezuko." He repeated, relief clear in his voice and he looked up, "Sora?" "Are you alright??" Sora asked him. He nodded, "You?" "I'm alright." She responded.
Tanjiro looked around, taking stock of the situation and after he too failed to wake the others, he turned to Sora, "Stay with Nezuko and try to wake the others. I'll go find the demon." Sora frowned,"But-". "I'll be alright." He told her, "please stay with Nezuko, in case something happens and she can't protect herself." Sora frowned, torn between going with the brother and staying with the sister, but she finally nodded, "alright but be careful Tanjiro." Tanjiro smiled, "thanks Sora." And he left.
Sora turned to the others still sleeping, "could you set them on fire too?" She asked Nezuko, "it may help them wake." Nezuko nodded and proceeded to try waking the others. Although Zenitsu could not be awoken, it wasn't long before Inosuke awoke and before Sora could tell him a word, he disappeared out of the train door. Sora pouted, "How is it that I'm the only person with nothing to fight?". A whine from Nezuko drew Sora's attention towards the girl, who was pointing up towards the roof of the train. Sora looked up to see something leaking inside through the cracks.
Ew, is that some part of a demon or something?
It did not take long for Sora to realize that the demon was aiming to devour the sleeping passengers. "Nezuko-" Sora turned in time to see Nezuko slash away one of the tentacles, turning towards her, eyes in slits. Sora blinked, "Well okay. Come on lets go, we have people to help.". She pulled out her katana and the two of them left to the next compartment.
