||The Journey||

"So... Name's Zenitsu Agatsuma."

"Inosuke Hashibira! And don't you forget it!"

"My name is Tanjiro Kamado, what's your name?"

"Y/N L/N."

As the four of you run, engaging in small talk, the only thing you can think of is how slow they were running. If this was the next generation of the so called demon slayers, everyone was screwed.

"Heads up high? Luck in battle? What does that mean?" Inosuke asks to no one in particular.

"To be honest it is a bit difficult to explain. To hold your head high... I guess it means whatever hand you're given in this life, you're able to conduct yourself in a way that's honorable so that you're never ashamed." Tanjiro responded, making a mini speech.

Well, too late for that, you were always ashamed, even for other people.

"And wishing us luck in battle just means that she's praying for our safety." Tanjiro adds on, smiling as he looks back at Inosuke.

"Well, what about the hand you're given? We have two already, why should we be ashamed?"

That... Was actually a really good point.

""Well I guess-"

"What does it mean to conduct yourself honorably anyway? Why is that old hag praying for our safety in the first place?"

Old hag?

This dude was wild, Literally! All you could do was stare at Inosuke with a critical expression before looking at Tanjiro as if to silently ask him whether or not the boar was always like this.

"She has nothing to do with us! So what's her game huh!? Maybe she should worry about her own hand!"

You were going to give Inosuke a beat down sooner or later. 

Suddenly Tanjiro sped up, going past you in an effort to do... Something. You didn't really know.

"Is this a race!? I won't let you win!" Inosuke yells as he runs past Zenitzu.

"Wait for us you guys!" Zenitzu yells as he tries to catch up with them You decide to run just as fast as him so he didn't feel alone, it seemed like this was chaos at its finest wasn't it? You were actually kind of enjoying it.

"Does everyone always act like this?" You ask with a small smile, gaining Zenitsu's attention briefly before he focuses on catching up.

"Yeah! Reckless too!"

-DEMON SLAYER-

"Do you like being a Samurai?" Tanjiro asks. He wanted to make sure you didn't feel left out because you were so calm and quiet that he almost forgot you were there twice.

"Um... I don't know." You reply, furrowing your eyebrows in thought since you had never had someone ask you a question like that.

"What do you mean by that?" Zenitsu asks, confused by the strange response. How would you not know whether you liked being a samurai or not?

"I mean just that, I don't know. I haven't thought about it... I don't like it nor do I dislike it... So I guess It's just something I am."

A dull response, Tanjiro could smell a scent of confusion, as if being asked that question was something foreign to you. Tanjiro didn't like it, it made him feel sad but it also made him feel like it was a good thing that you came. That way he could be a companion that you could talk to if you needed it.
