(Takeo's point of view)
"Young ones, what are your names?", Tsunami asked the children. "Shoichi and Teruko.", they replied. "Is there a reason why you two are here in the first place?", I asked. "A demon took our older brother.", Teruko replied. Suddenly, a young man flew out of a plastic window and landed on the ground. I ran over to him and he said a few words before dying. "Dammit! He's dead.", I thought. "Was this your brother?", Hanako asked. "No. Our brother was wearing a persimmon haori.", Shoichi replied. "That does it. Nezuko, help prepare that young man for a proper burial. I'm going in with Tsunami and Zenitsu to find that demon.", I said. "Consider it done, Takeo.", Nezuko replied. I then ran in with Tsunami and Zenitsu behind me. While looking around for any demons, we opened a door to see a demon slayer wearing something on his head. "What the hell?! He's wearing a boar's head!", Zenitsu said before I tackled the demon slayer and pinned him under my foot. "As a mask.", I replied as I pulled off the boar's head. "I knew it. This demon slayer is Mrs. Hashibira's son.", I thought when it came off his face. "Takeo.", Tsunami said. "I'm aware, Sister. I believe Mrs. Hashibira will be happy to learn we've found him.", I replied before moving my foot from his chest. "My mother's alive?", he asked me as I handed the boar's head back to him after helping him get up from the wooden floor. "Yes. Over a year ago, my sister here rescued me, our family and your mother from the temple we had been trapped in with the help of a demon slayer we know.", I replied. "Takeo, can we complete this mission?", Tsunami asked. "Sorry, Sis.", I replied. "Alright. Let's go take down this damn demon.", I thought.
