Authors POV:
"Tanjiro, come here, your face is covered in soot." Tanjiro's mother called over to him, a white rag in her hand. Tanjiro looked over as he slightly adjusted the basket on his shoulders. He then walked over to his mom who beckoned him to come closer. She then began to clean the soot off of his face. "You know, you don't have to do this." She told him, urging him not to go. "It's okay, I wanna make sure everyone has plenty of food on their plate for the New Years!" Tanjiro explained as his mom finished cleaning his face. All of a sudden, his younger siblings came over. "Brother can we come with you?!" They asked in unison. Before Tanjiro could say anything though, his mom intervened, "No, Tanjiro isn't bringing the wagon so he can't pull you guys when you get tired." She told them. They wined for a bit more before giving up. "Brother? I thought you said you were gonna chop wood with me?!" Takeo entered from around the corner.
Tanjiro began to feel overwhelmed as his siblings began to bicker even more. With some consideration he began to think of his family and how they would need his help at home more than anything. "Okay, how about this, I stay home with you guys and Takeo I'll chop some wood with you!" Takeo smiled brightly. "Yay!" He cheered. The other two then looked at him. "Don't worry I'll make sure to play with you two as well! Maybe we can play dolls!" Tanjiro offered bringing smiles to both the kids. "Sure!" They chimed.
"Hey Tanjiro, I'm going to make dinner, can you go and get Nezuko, she went on a walk with Rokuta and they need to come back." His Mom brought up, Tanjiro nodded, "Okay I'll be back with them as soon as possible." He told her as he wandered down the trail his sister commonly went down.
After a while of walking, he came across his sister and younger brother, his sister carrying the little boy on her shoulders. "Hey Nezuko, Mom said she wants you back." He told her in a quiet voice, making sure not to wake up his brother. The girl gave a closed eye smile and nodded gently, before walking back home with her two brothers by her side.
Once they got home it was close to dinner time as they noticed Takeo chopping some wood and the two others setting the dinner table, their mom standing there waiting to place down the food. Their mom turned her head as she heard the soft crunching of snow. "Welcome back, Tanjiro, Nezuko, I see Rokuta is asleep." She laughed a bit. Nezuko nodded, "He fell asleep half way through the walk, almost as soon as we reached the river." She replied. She could then feel the light movement of her brother, before hearing his tiny voice, "Are we home?" He asked, making Nezuko giggle a bit. "Yes, we're home, it's almost dinner time." She responded.These chapters may be a little shorter just because I don't have enough energy to make consistent 1,000+ word chapters. But that doesn't mean that there won't be chapters like that. I hope you guys like this ✌️
