(Third person point of view)
As he walked forward, Tanjuro noticed a teen girl running forward along the ground underneath the night sky with a infant boy in her arms. The moment he saw who the teen girl was running away from, he bolted forward with his hatchet in his hands and used it to block a attack. "Are you okay?", he asked. "Yes. Thank you so much.", she replied. He grabbed her right wrist and began walking forward with her while using the hatchet to keep defending her from attacks. "Hey, do you think you could use your feet to start running again?", he asked. "Yes.", she replied. She then took off running with him closely behind her and her infant son. After running for the whole night, they made it back to his home. The moment they walked into the house through its front door, the teenager watched on in surprise as a toddler girl came running. "Papa!", the little girl cheerfully said as Tanjuro put his hand down on her tiny head. "Hi there, Sumiko. I hope you haven't been giving your mother trouble.", he answered. "No, Tanjuro. Although she's still so little, Sumiko has tried to behave herself while you were away.", his expectant wife Kie said. As the night went by, the teen girl introduced herself as Kotoha Hashibira and her son as Inosuke Hashibira after meeting the couple and their toddler girl. Whike Kotoha, Inosuke, Tanjuro, Kie and Sumiko were asleep the next night, the demon snuck in. He carefully lifted Sumiko up out of her crib, making sure not to wake them up as he snuck back out with her. "Kotoha and Inosuke are now in a safe place. No matter. I now have this little one to make up for it.", he thought before using the trees to return to his temple with Sumiko.
