Rui's webs were covered with red, and hot as fire. He was about to get decapitated by Takeo, someone who was weaker than him. And where was his family right now? They were all dead, they couldn't even protect him. The most simple task he gave them.

The cold metal went through his neck. Takeo's sword fell from his hand as Rui's head went flying. He fell to his knees and tried to get over to his brother, the cause of the flames heating Takeo's sword.

When he finally reached the demon he was lying on the ground, his skin almost too hot to touch. Takeo yelped and reflexively yanked his arm back. Tanjiro lifted his head up a bit and stared at his younger brother, body shrinking slightly.

Takeo stared at him. Is this the blood demon art Tengen talked about in training? Tanjiro reached out to touch Takeo but when he noticed the hesitation in his eyes, he merely sat up and stared at him softly. "Are you okay, Onii-Chan?" Tanjiro's soft look suddenly disappeared and he stood up, still in his smaller form. Takeo jolted and his head turned to see Rui reattaching his head with threads.

Takeo covered his mouth in shock. "But- I killed you!" Rui scoffed. "I knew you would cut my head off, so I took the liberty of taking it off myself." Rui was about to use his threads to attack again but his head was cut off by an ocean blue blade.

The demon slayer turned around to look at them and point his blade at Tanjiro. No matter how hot his skin was, Takeo would protect his older brother.

He quickly stood up and grabbed Tanjiro. He pulled the smaller demon in his arms and ran from the demon slayer, who quickly followed. He heard a sweeter voice behind them. "Boooy~ You do know that thing your holding is a demon, don't you?" A woman who held a strange katana spoke. He turned to look at her. It was that Shinobu girl that Nezuko spoke of. "H-He's my brother!"

"Hmm, how tragic! Then I'll inject him with a poison that will work quickly." She jumped at Tanjiro, but her sword clashed with someone else's.

"Oh? Nezuko, what are you doing?" Nezuko held her sword in front of her. She said nothing to the slightly older girl and blocked an attack both Hashiras sent.

"Takeo, run! I'll hold them off!" It was a lie. She could distract them for a bit but they would ultimately defeat her.

Takeo adjusted Tanjiro's position in his arms and ran with him. He heard the clashing of metal in the background but ignored it. He heard footsteps behind him, and yanked his head back to see a girl tackle him. It was the quiet girl Nezuko was talking to at final selection. "Run Tanjiro!" The older brother nodded and took off. Kanao tried to go after him but Takeo yanked on her uniform. In a result, she raised her leg up and kicked his head, knocking him out.

She quickly took after him, catching up in no time at all. When she tried to cut his head off, he shrank down to an even smaller height. For only a second, she froze from shock. Why wasn't he attacking her? She ignored the factor and chased after him. Eventually though, they heard the kaw of the Kasugai crow. "Kaw, kaw! Bring the demon with Hanafuda earrings, and the demon slayer who travels with him to master! Kaw!" Kanao looked down at the smaller body. The first thing she noticed was the earrings. "Are you the demon who master wants?" Tanjiro cutely turned his head to the side.

Kanao let out a small giggle and bent down to his height.

Tanjiro led the way to his box and Kanao stared at it. "You like it in there?" He stared up at her, halfway sun the box. He crawled in and she lifted the straps. She carefully put the box on and walked to Shinobu. The exchange was awkward considering the position Shinobu and Nezuko were in. Nezuko was quite flushed.

"Did the four-eyed pervert really give you the same uniform as Mitsuri? Oh that won't do! I can burn it like I did for myself, Kanao, and Aoi! We won't have you wearing that!" Nezuko was using her hoari to cover her chest, and her and Tomioka were extremely uncomfortable with the subject. Kanao cleared her throat to get their attention. "I got the demon." Instead of giving the box to either Hashiras, she handed it to Nezuko. "Now then, I hope you don't plan to run off while you have your brother, otherwise things will be more difficult!" Nezuko nodded and put the box on her back. She heard the small reassuring grunt from her brother.

Let's just say... things weren't exactly going very well when Takeo woke up. There was a lot of screaming, and he even beat butted Sanemi.

Takeo's forehead was bleeding and Sanemi had blood running down his nose. He repeatedly stabbed the box, pissing both siblings off. But Nezuko knew not to say anything. Mitsuri had turned away and brought her attention to Nezuko. "Takeo sure is... something.."
"He's nicer when you get to know him... sort of..." the two smiled at each other. "If you start going insane, maybe you can live with me."

Nezuko nodded a bit at the 'joke'. "Yeah."

Rip Tanjiro's torso😭😭
All those scars man💀

Sanemi held his arm out for the demon boy to see and smell the fresh, Marechi blood.

The demon boy had his head titled to the side in confusion. He flipped Sanemi off and sat back in the box, the Hashiras were shooketh and Tengen yelled, "Flamboyant!"—-

Jk jk, what really happened;

Tanjiro had his head cocked to the side in confusion. Sanemi slightly laughed but Tanjiro paid no mind. He didn't even like the smell of blood, and this stuff made his hate for it worse. He turned around and sat back in the box, his nose scrunched in disgust.

Sanemi just wanted to kill him, so he walked back over to the box. Tanjiro turned his head away from the blood, trying to get rid of the horrid smell.

"Bus turning his head away in disgust. We do not have to worry about this demon." A little white haired girl next to their master spoke. Ubuyashiki smiled. "Very well then. I call this meeting to an end."

Now it's time for a Taisho era secret!

Did you know that Koyoharu Gotouge added the mini panel in the manga where Kanao asked Nezuko if she liked in inside the box?

Can you try to guess the age gap I put between Nezuko, Kanao, Shinobu, and Mitsuri?
