Nezuko looked at the taller figure that hung above her, as she was dropped down from the string that held her. It was a woman who was most definitely dead. A smile was drawn in her face with blood. "Mommy, this lady doesn't want me to be happy like you said! Get rid of her for me." The child said as it walked away. The woman pulled out a sword just like Nezuko and faced its point at her. The dead body had no eyes, yet knew exactly where to hit her.

It swung the sword swiftly and landed a slash on Nezuko's stomach. The girl retaliated quickly. She could hurt this woman, with the sole reason that she was already dead.

"Flame breathing, first form: Unknowing Fire!" She cut the woman's arm off and watched blood spill from the open wound. To her shock the arm regenerated and the body attacked her again, but with much more drive and force.

Now you may be wondering, where is Tanjiro? He was following the demon. He landed a kick on the child's back, sending it flying from the area. It hit a wall and crashed straight through, blood going everywhere. Woman and men screamed in horror as Tanjiro dashed to kick him again. He felt the child's tail still through his stomach. He ripped it tail off and threw it aside. "Wow, you're pretty strong for a lesser demon! Maybe you should work with me instead of that ugly girl!" The demon giggled. This pissed Tanjiro off.

The small hole in his stomach was healing slowly, and you could hear his bones being stitched together. A cracking sound resonated every time he twisted his torso.

The demon had his arm broken, and you could clearly see the white of his bone tear through his skin, anything but gently. "Wow, I was right! You really are strong! I'll just have to take you forcefully like daddy did to mommy!" The demon wrapped Tanjiro up in the strings and started walking away from the scared men and woman.

"Now to help mommy!" He started walking to the alleyway he left them in. "Kuroko... Kuroko..." the woman kept saying under her breath. "Hey, demon slayer!" He yelled out to Nezuko. She looked over at him. "That demon you sent after me will be plenty useful! Thanks, maybe it can make up for you being such a horror to look at!"

"Kuroko... what did I say..?" The body asked with its gruff voice. The demon child pouted. "Sorry! Everyone is pretty in their own way, even people like you!" He refused to make eye contact with the demon slayer. Nezuko smiled at the slightly fucked up relationship, but she froze for a minute. "... Where's my brother..?" She asked him, fear evidently shown in her voice.

"You mean that demon? He was pretty cute when he shrank to dodge my attacks!" The demon giggled. "Where is he?" She held her katana toward him. "I caught him and put him away! Now he's my puppet! Just like mommy!" The child clasped his hands together.

"But if he's your brother... I'll let him kill you!" It  giggled and released Tanjiro. Just like the dead woman he was attached to the strings that Nezuko's sword couldn't break. Her sword went right through it, yet the contact remained.

He looked at her horrific reaction. "Hey miss... can you tell me, why do people act like that?" She looked at the demon in surprise. "Act like... what..?"
"Like how you're reacting right now... why is that?" She thought for a moment. "If I tell you have to give me my brother back and let me kill you..." the demon faltered. "Okay." It finally said. Nezuko was shocked from this reaction.

"Humans act like this because we don't want to kill our loved ones to survive, we can't do it... Tanjiro may not remember who I am, but I love him more than anything... and I'm not willing to hurt him if it means I can survive. I'm just too scared to lose him..." she looked down with tear forming in her eyes. Tanjiro stood still, and the demon cocked its head to the side.

"So that's why... mommy refused to leave daddy? Even though he hit her and tried to hit me? Because she loved him?" The demon asked. The red from the mother's empty sockets leaked, it looked like she was crying. She was crying.

Nezuko felt sympathetic and hesitantly walked over to the demon boy. She bent down on her knees and hugged him. "No... she was scared of him..." she slowly took her katana out and beheaded the child. "I'm sorry... I hope you and your mother find peace..." she clasped her hands together and prayed for him. Tanjiro did the same.

"... let's go Tanjiro." He nodded and got inside the box.

Now it's time for Taisho Era secrets!

The box Tanjiro has was made by Kyojiro! He thought it would be convenient for traveling during the day!

The demons name was Kuroko when he was human, and that's what his mother calls him, even though he calls himself Ko. When he was younger, his father hit his mother and eventually tried to hit him. His mother shielded him throughout that period, until he became a demon. He killed both his parents but still remembered them. He heard his mother praying as she died, that she would be able to protect him, even when dead, so he kept his mother as his puppet so she could still protect him from harm, just as she wished.
