"I am Muzan Kibutsuji, and despite what you may think, I am not the one who killed your family and turned your sister into a demon. . . Yet I must apologize, as this was still my doing. . ."
Tanjiro walked towards a dark cave, carrying a tattered basket he bought off a farmer, although Tanjiro forced the man to take the money, as he didn't feel the need for Tanjiro to pay for something so tattered, but Tanjiro was too kindhearted to just take the basket for free
"Nezuko, Mr. Kibutsuji, I'm back" Tanjiro called out, not seeing his sister or the stranger who introduced himself as Muzan, he was relieved once he saw Nezuko poke her head out of a hole she had dug, Muzan also lifted his head out, looking tired
Not leaving the hole, Muzan grumbled and ordered, "cover the entrance, the sunlight can still harm us here" Tanjiro nodded before taking off his kaori, he used rocks and sting to keep it up, blocking sunlight, "will this work?" Tanjiro asked, turning back to Muzan, who now stood up and walked out of the hole, "yes, that will suffice" he answered
As Nezuko climbed out of the hole she dug, Tanjiro presented the basket to her, "do you think your sister can fit in that?" Muzan asked, looking at his dirty clothes with disgust, "doesn't hurt to try right?" Tanjiro said as Nezuko crawled into the basket, shrinking into a child as to fit
Surprised, Muzan and Tanjiro looked at Nezuko, who now lifted her head out of the basket with a smile hidden behind her bamboo muzzle, her brother looked to muzan, wondering if he knew how she shrank, the demon cleared his throat
Muzan: it's a basic ability, most demons can transform in similar ways
Tanjiro: Ah. . . Wait what?
. . .
Muzan kept watch as the sun set, letting the siblings rest before beginning their travels to the city, as he watched the still covered entrance, a shadow could be seen outside the cave, appearing menacing
Rolling his eyes, Muzan glanced at Tanjiro before motioning for the stranger to enter, the stranger held his head low as he bowed, now lifting Tanjiro's kaori as he showed himself to Muzan
The stranger was another demon, one with a very muscular but slim body and pale skin, his body was also covered in thick blue lines, the demons hair was a red, almost pink tone, and his eyes were bright orange with the number 3 written in Japanese
"Speak quietly and quickly if you value your life" Muzan said, threatening the stranger, ". . . I have made arrangements for your. . . human companion. . . to stay with Kyogai and he has been made aware that the human and his sister are not to be disturbed" the stranger explained, not looking up
Muzan nodded at this, waiting for the demon to proceed, "Douma searched the entire mountain, there was no sign of. . . them. . ." Muzan grumbled, bearing his fangs
"You'll escort Tanjiro and his sister to Kyogai, if anything happens to either of them, I will kill you. . ."
"Akaza. . ."
