Chapter 1

================================

That was nearly 10 years ago Muichiro thought.

He stretched as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, his dreams were usually about the day that brought him to the Kamado house, he remembered being scared but comforted by a boy with reddish hair and kind eyes of the same color. The day after he had been brought to Tanjiro's house, they had continued to look for his parents, and the day after that. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, he never found his family and he accepted that he probably never would. As the years had passed his memories of them and their faces began to blur and fade. Tanjiro's family became his family, and he was happy, if that boy with the ruby eyes hadn't helped him that day he didn't know where he'd be. He looked over at Tanjiro still sleeping soundly on the other side of the room. after a few weeks his parents decided to just get another bed and put it in Tanjiro's room so they could share. When everything first happened Muichiro refused to leave Tanjiro's side, since naturally he was the one he felt safest around. Tanjiro looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, Muichiro almost didn't want to wake him, but alas school was a curse and for some reason that he couldn't remember; it was very important that they get to school on time today. Muichiro walked over to Tanjiro's bed and poked his cheek eliciting a sleepy grunt from the other boy.

"Why are you up so early..." Tanjiro asked groggily attempting to pull the sheets over his head.

"It's a normal time to wake up you just sleep late." Muichiro said trying to pry the covers off of Tanjiro.

"Come on Tanjiro, mom's at work and dad isn't feeling well enough today, so you have to help me cook breakfast. We're going to be late for school if you don't get up now." Muichiro finally remembered that he, Nezuko and Tanjiro were starting a new school. He felt a sense of relief that he would have to go back to their old school. He shuddered at the thought of their "friends".

Tanjiro sighed, pulling the covers down just enough to give Muichiro a playful glare. "fine but I'm not getting out of bed myself."

Muichiro rolled his eyes with a mischievous smirk plastered across his face, and ripped the covers off of Tanjiro grabbing his legs and dragging him down the stairs, Tanjiro yelped as Muichiro dragged him towards the kitchen laughing, but he couldn't help but laugh as well as he tried to protest.

"Alright! Alright! you can let me go now Mui!" Tanjiro laughed and Muichiro abruptly released him, even after all these years he still loved to hear Tanjiro's laugh, he thought it was one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

Tanjiro got up off the ground and began to go start breakfast as Muichiro went to wake up the rest of their siblings.

Muichiro knocked on Nezuko and Hanako's door first. No response.

"Why am I always the one having to wake everybody up?" He muttered.

He opened the door and shook Nezuko and then Hanako.

Hanako groaned "Mui, what time is it?"

"Time for you to get up, we have school." Muichiro said. Nezuko was already getting up out of bed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she signed 'good morning, Mui' and tried to untangle her messy teal tipped hair. she'd replaced the orange to match with Muichiro after a few years of him living with them, since she saw him as her brother, she wanted to make him feel less like an odd one out.

"Morning Nez, you guys better get up soon, Tanjiro's cooking breakfast and if he already woke up Shigeru and Takeo the you guys'll be left with nothing."
