The Flame Hashira

Miyuki's POV

We all board the Mugen Train just in time. "Come on, let's go in..." I said, feeling a chill down my spine. We quickly made our way inside, scanning the various cars in search of Kyojuro Rengoku.

"Oh? Huh? Hoho! Hahahaha!" Inosuke looked around excitedly. "So fast! Hahahaha!" He ran between the seats of some passengers, slamming the window. "So freakin' fast! Hahahaha!"

I smiled at him. 

'Must be nice, being so young.'

"Sorry! We're very sorry!" Zenitsu, meanwhile, was busy apologizing to the other passengers, pulling Inosuke away from the window.

As we continued our search, we heard a fierce voice coming from one of the cars. 

"Umai!!" 

The shout was so loud that the windows shook.

We entered a compartment and found the flame-haired Hashira, Rengoku, enjoying his bento meal with great enthusiasm. "Umai!!" he yelled again, surrounded by a pile of empty bento boxes.

"Please clean that up." I called some of the train attendants and asked them to bring a bag to throw away the boxes. "He's a Hashira, right? This Rengoku person..." Zenitsu asked cautiously.

"Oh? Oh? Hahaha..." Inosuke was way more invested in banging on the windows, completely ignoring Zenitsu's question.

"Delicious!!" Rengoku's shout rattled the windows once more. "Delicious... Delicious!" he continued, opening another bento box.

"Is that the Flame Hashira guy? Not just some random glutton?!" Zenitsu asked, sweat dropping.

"No, he's the one," I replied, nodding. "Um, excuse me..." Tanjiro called out, but Rengoku seemed far more invested in his bento as he repeated, "Delicious...Delicious!"

"Uh, we really get that part already..." I said, feeling a bit exasperated. Two attendants came and discard the tall stack of Rengoku's empty bento boxes. 

Just then, the overhead lights flickered. "Ne, Rengoku-san, we're here to join you on this mission," Tanjiro said, trying to get his attention. 

Ultimately failing

"Finish it up already," I sighed, sitting opposite Rengoku and crossing my legs, letting them expose a bit.

"Miyuki-Sama!!" he exclaimed, eyes wide in surprise. I smiled softly, shaking my head. "Don't add "-Sama."

He turned his attention to Tanjiro. "And you're the kid from that day at Oyakata-Sama's" Rengoku recognized him from the meeting with the other Hashira.

"Yes. I'm Tanjiro Kamado. And these are my fellow Demon Slayers, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira," Tanjiro cautiously introduced us.

"I see. And inside that box there..." Rengoku glanced at the box Tanjiro placed next to me.

"Yeah. It's our sister Nezuko," I replied.

"Right! That demon we saw that day, huh? Since the Master has acknowledged her, I won't say any word for now," Rengoku said, nodding understandingly. 

"Have a seat here." He patted the seat beside him. 

"Inosuke, sit," I commanded. "Yeah, but it's so fast! Hoho! Woah!" Inosuke pounded the window, "Haha! Amazing! Being inside the lord is mind-blowing!"

I smiled, "If you sit quietly, I'll open it for you." He immediately sat down obediently. "Don't do that, it'll be more annoying for me then," Zenitsu exasperatedly warned.
