The title translates to: Only the good die young



Tanjiro just sits there, looking at the ground, filled with regret. Tears fall down his cheeks like a waterfall, then hit the ground softly and quietly.  He can't believe Kyojuro the Flame Pillar is dead. You were just completely broken, seeing your friend die. You didn't even care about Inosuke's hitting. Muichiro stands there, only just processing what happened, his dazed look plastered on his face.

Soon, the Kakushi ran over, with cloth in their hands. They silently run over to Rengoku, covering him with the same cloth. They slowly, but carefully pick Rengoku up, each of them bowing to you and the others. They then continue on their run, heading back to the Ubuyashiki mansion. Tanjiro was still sitting on the ground, crying. 

Although his death hit you hard, you knew you all had a mission to do. You sit up, wiping your eyes with the back of your hands, trying to stand up. Your legs finally start to work, and you're able to stand up. you turn to Tanjiro, looking down at him. "Tanjiro... Get up... We should continue our mission..."

Tanjiro looks up, and wipes his eyes. "Yeah" he softly sobs. "We should". He stands up, looking at the others. "Al-" Before Tanjiro can finish, Muichiro butts in. Haganezuka is gonna be pissed!" He states in a matter of fact way. "I hope you know that...."

Tanjiro glares at Muichiro. "I Know already!!!" He sighs. "Alright, everybody. I know its been a tough time and all, but we should head off and follow master Ubuyashiki's orders. Let's get ready to leave again"

Soon, everybody is ready to leave

Soon, everybody is ready to leave. Tanjiro has Nezuko's box on his back, and he's not feeling great at all. In fact, no one is. You all stand close together, looking at each other as if so say "Are you ready?". You all started to head off quietly, looking down at the ground.

You felt horrible. The worst you've ever had. Seeing one of your best friends die right in front of you was bad. Yet, you feel like you could have done something. Its all my fault. If I hadn't listened to him, and actually helped him, he would be fine. Dammit...

The same things were going through Tanjiro's head. He was thinking about how things could have had a better outcome. Inosuke walks silently for once, not picking on Zenitsu or Tanjiro. Zenitsu continues to cry, dragging himself to walk with you all. Muichiro just walked silently next to you, feeling the tension an awkwardness there was in the air.

It was like this for hours. No talking, just your own self depreciation and degrading thoughts. You've gone through a lot, but this was worse. The tension between everyone was thick. So thick a knife could cut through it. Muichiro was just walking awkwardly next to you, trying to think of ways to make it less awkward.

Everybody was walking silently, until the sudden noise of fast footsteps starts to approach. Tanjiro turns around quickly to see Haganezuka with another sword for Tanjiro, but also with hatred and anger. Tanjiro could just smell the stench of hatred leaking from him. Haganezuka rushes to Tanjiro, grabbing his cheek and pulling at it.

"You dare break another one of the swords!? AHHH" he screams.

"Kya! G-get off! Please?" Tanjiro pleads, trying to pull Haganezuka off him. you merely just watch for the fun of it.


In the end, Haganezuka gave Tanjiro his sword and stopped pestering him!


A/n: Yes, this is quite a short chapter. I'm so sorry. I was tired, and I wanted to make one tonight. I'm sorry for all the past errors in the other books. My eyes are a bit stuffed up right now! Sorry if there is any spelling mistakes/mispronunciation or anything like that! R.I.P Rengoku.
