Nezuko's P.O.V.

The 15 days went by relatively slow. Tanjiro and I relaxed, however, at night I sometimes went out and trained some. Tanjiro would sometimes do it during the day but for the most part, we relaxed.

One of the days Tanjiro asked me a question, that I should've seen coming.

"Hey, Nezuko I have a question," Tanjiro said as he came up to me.

"Yes, what is it?" I asked

"Well, Urokodaki-sensei told me more about demons the day I came back from my Final Selection. And he said that demons have a special spell that gives them supernatural abilities, called "Blood Demon Art." I was wondering if you have that ability?" he asked.

'Damn it! I should've figured he would ask at some point.' I thought.

"Um..." I hesitated.

'I don't want to tell him just yet.' he'll find out during the spider fight.

"I mean besides the healing ability I have, that I used on you. However, that's the only thing I can do." I lied.

"Oh all right," he asked.

Tanjiro's P.O.V.

When Nezuko said that I picked up the scent of deceit from her. Like she's not telling me the truth.

'She lied to me. But why? Why would she lie to me? I'm just going to have to trust her. Hopefully, she'll tell me in the future. She must have a good reason to hide something from me.' I thought.

Nezuko's P.O.V.

"Of course," I said with a smile.

'I'm sorry Tanjiro. I hate lying to you but it's better this way for now. I promise I'll tell you the whole truth when the time comes and why I hid it from you.'

It has been 15 days since I chose my ore and today is the day Tanjiro and I finally get our swords. I am so excited.

'I wonder what color it's going to be?'

I smelt the distinct smell of strawberry cake a few miles away.

'Erza!'

I also heard the jingle of Haganzuka's hat.

"Tanjiro, our swordsmiths will be here soon!" I shouted out the window toward my brother who was doing some exercises. I made sure I was a safe distance away so the sun didn't hit me.

"Really?" he questioned as he ran toward the window.

"Yes, I can smell the distinct scent of my swordsmith. I also hear a jingle in that direction as well. That must be your swordsmith. Now hurry and wash up a bit. They'll be here in an hour or so." I told him.

"Alright." he agreed and headed inside to wash up.

An hour and a half later, Tanjiro was outside Urokodaki's house as he waited for Erza and Haganezuka. I had to stay inside since it was daylight, but from where I was standing I could see them coming from the window.

They finally came into clearer view. Haganezuka was wearing his usual clothing. Erza was wearing an outfit that I loved. It suited her really well. She also had her mask on however it was a fox mask instead of a hyottoko mask. She had her hair up in a ponytail.
