"GYAAAAAHHH!!!"

Tanjiro landed not too far to a pair of demon spider siblings,the female bleeding and holding her wounded face in her hands.

While the boy,held a cradle of threads in his heads,glancing at the redheaded boy with narrowed eyes;"What are you looking at?This is not a show."the girl whimpered,tears streaming down her cheeks as she held her wounded face.

"You...What are you doing?! Isn't sheyour ally?!"Tanjiro exclaimed,holding his sword tight."Ally?Don't compare it to such a shallow thing.We are family,we are tied by strong bonds."

The boy spoke with no emotion,his voice neutral as he stared at the scarred slayer."Besides,this is between me and my 'sister.If you're gonna meddle I'm tis needlessly,I'll dice you up."

"Both family and allies are tied by strong bonds,they are just as valuable!There's nothing shallow about it if you're not connected by blood!Moreover,people bound by strong bonds have the scent of truth,but for you guys..."

Tanjiro trails,eyes narrowing as he glared at the pair of siblings;"Fear,hatred,and disgust is all I smell!I won't call this sort of thing a bond!It's a sham!It's all fake!"

The female demon gasped,her eyes widening s she trembled,glancing at the spider boy standing beside her with a shadowed gaze.

"Oh?Perfect timing."footsteps approached the scene as a demon slayer appeared from the shadows;"There are demons here."smirking cockily as he strode in confidently."Who're you?"

"Pull back,kid.I wanna get safely promoted,and if I do the higher ups are gonna give me a lot of money.My squad's pretty much decimated,but I'll defeat a fairly tough demon and descend down the mountain."

The slayer drew his sword out,grinning as he rushed forward;"No,stop!You're-"Tanjiro tries to stop the slayer,eyes widening when he felt that familiar pulse of ominous presence.

SLASH

"Such arrogance and pride."Tanjiro gaped at the figure holding the now unconscious slayer by the back of they're shirt,suspended in the air as the apprehnder stood on top of a tree branch,looking down on them with a smile on their face.

"Tanjiro."another presence appeared from the shadows;"Ajian-san!"revealing himself into the small clearing as he stood by the tree where the slayer was suspended."Who..."

"Relax,she's an ally."Ajian mumbled,looking up at the silhouette hidden in the shadows of the tree;"Sensei."he called,surprising the burgundy-haired teen.

'Sensei?Then,this person...'

Ajian caught the unconscious slayer in his arms,having been dropped by his Master whose giggle echoed in the air;"Such a person is not eligible to be a part of us,consider him terminated from the Demon Slayers Corps."
