Tanjiro woke up in the box. The familiar smell of Takeo was there, but it was overwhelmed by blood. And then the scent of the demon hit him.

"Come out... Yoriichi..." the demon said in his low tone. Tanjiro crawled out of the box, ignoring the name he was called. The sight in front of him was horrific.

The smell of blood was overwhelming, and the demon sat in front of a corpse. Takeo's corpse. Tanjiro covered his nose. "Eat." Was the only command he was given. Tanjiro shrunk back into the box, his back hitting the cold wood. The demon pulled him back out. "Eat it." Tanjiro clawed him.

He jolted awake in the box. He smelled Takeo, he smelled blood, he didn't smell the demon. Instead, someone else. It was a kind, yet strong person. He didn't know who. The box was closest to it, that much he could tell. Hearing Takeo's voice was his reassurance.

"Th-thank you, Himijima!" The boy bowed. The man held the box by its strap, causing Tanjiro to fall out. He hugged his brother's legs. The man said nothing as he walked away.

Takeo sat there with Tanjiro, making sure he was okay. Tanjiro was crying, hugging his younger brother so tight he felt one of his ribs crack. "T-Tanjiro I appreciate it— but could you let go?" He said in a suffocating voice. Tanjiro took a step back from him, not letting go from the hug.

"Maybe we should rest back with Nezuko and Tengen..." Tanjiro nodded for the pure reason he didn't want Takeo getting hurt.

Skipping that bc I'm lazy asf and a horrible writer

"Tasty!" He yelled. The five stared at him, Inosuke more trying to get out the window and Zenitsu stopping him. He offered the four some, and Inosuke gleefully took a box from him.

"How are the three of you fairing?" He questioned the siblings. "The missions are quite tiring..." Nezuko answered. He nodded.

Still lazy asf😫😫😫

The four were long asleep by now. Tanjiro had sensed something was off from inside the box, and even though he wasn't under the effects of a blood demon art, sleep had a firm hold on him. His eyes forced themselves shut and he drifted off.

"...jiro...

Tan....

Tanjiro..." somebody was calling out to him. "You look so sickly now..." his head was rested on a man's legs. He didn't know this person. "How have your siblings been fairing ever since their untimely death?" He didn't know who this man was speaking of. "Of course you don't remember yet..." he rested his hand on the boys head. He liked the feeling of his hand. "I'll have to let you go now, good luck in the future... protect who you love at all costs." And with that the man vanished and everything was black. He was falling infinitely until he jolted awake.

He crept out of the box and noticed the humans tied to his friends. He tried to wake up Nezuko, Takeo, Rengoku, Inosuke, even Zenitsu. He head butted his sister, causing her to bleed, yet she slept.

He was caught off guard by the sound of choking. He turned to see Rengoku's hand tightly wrapped around a girls neck.  He saw a yellow slip of paper fall out, and he lunged for it. It had the slight scent of demon on it, so he decided to burn in. Rengoku dropped the girl, who woke up as well. She looked up at him and tried to stab him, with no avail. "Thank you, young Kamado!" He yelled as he knocked her unconscious. Tanjiro crawled over to his sister and brother and burned their tickets as well.

"My head hurts..." Nezuko complained. Tanjiro looked off to the side in guilt. She felt her forehead and brought her hand down, to see it stained crimson. "Wahh?! I'm bleeding?!"

Enmu looked at Nezuko with shock, as his spell wasn't working. She kept attacking him, no matter what dream he gave her. He then had an idea.

She stood in a blood filled house, her youngest brother sobbing in front of her. "Why didn't you save me Nii-Chan? You were supposed to protect us!" She looked to her side to see Takeo scowling at her, Hanako had her hand on Nezuko's shoulder. "Why is it fair that you and Takeo got to survive, and not the rest of us?" Her eyes showed no expression, as she tightened the grip on her elder sister's shoulder. She felt a peach hit her face, and the pale figure of her father was met with her. Her mother stared with him, "why didn't you wake up sooner and help us?" She had asked.

But the worst of all was when she heard Tanjiro's voice. "Why aren't I human, Nezuko? Why haven't you helped me? Why... were you ever born in the first place?" He asked, none of which she could answer. Shigeru cried in Tanjiro's torso, his sobs tugged on her heartstrings. She wanted to hug him and Rokuta, tell them it was okay. But instead, she raised her sword to her neck, and slit her throat.

Enmu looked shocked as she decapitated him. "My family... would never say such vulgar things!" His head rolled behind her, and he soon giggled.
