TANJIRO'S POV

I..should have eaten alone..
"Mmhh!! Are you going to eat that tanjiro?"
"N-no..go ahead.."

I stammered as i slid my plate over to mitsuri.. the table was full of stacks of empty plates. Licked clean... even then, mitsuri kept eating more plates full of food. I had already eaten quite a lot, so I was full a long time ago. Now I'm stuck watching mitsuri wolf down her food.

As mitsuri chattered away I glanced to my side. Looking at the empty seats at the table, guessing that one of them was meant for that guy I ran into in the hot springs..who was the other one meant for?

"Tanjiro?"

I jumped slightly as my name was called out by mitsuri. Oops. I akwardly met her eyes, practically praying that she wouldn't ask me about the things she was talking about earlier. She took another bite of her plate, wiping her mouth off carefully with a napkin before speaking.

"I asked how long you would be staying for"
She reiterated, glancing back up at me after she slid her another plate into the mountain of dishes. How long would I be staying for..? I don't even know..I'm sure making another sword won't take too long.. I shrugged slightly. "Im not sure, perhaps maybe a few days" i stated as I gave her my best estimate.

She nodded as she finally put her chopsticks down. Signaling she was finally finished eating. "Hmm..just a few days? That's okay! I bet we'll have plenty of ti- I mean! You'll enjoy your stay.." mitsuri corrected herself while slapping a hand over her mouth.

"Mhm.. I suppose.." I mumbled under my breath, still gazing at the two empty chairs.

Eventually dinner was over, one of the masked villagers came in and helped clean up the table. I waved goodbye to mitsuri, helping the person slightly to try and be polite.

"Thank you very much sir!" He bowed to me in thankfulness..all I did was help stack a few plates.. I instantly waved my hands infront of me. I nervously laughed "No..no..it's really nothing." .

_______________________

I had sent sent off on a little side quest to go and find my swordsmith... great. Just great. Currently I was just walking through the gravel path, kicking a few rocks in slight annoyance as I continued. The village leader told me he was quite sensitive..and seeing one of his 'baby's'...or swords had been dameged sends him into a mental spiral.

"Mr. Haganezuka..?" I said softly, not really bothering to raise my voice. Why would I? If he didn't care enough to show up when I'm in need of a weapon I don't need to look for him that hard. Just as I was about to walk off and try a diffrent path I heard a bit of commotion coming behind some of the trees..

"N-no! You can't h-have it!"
What sounded like a child yelled.. signs of struggle evident in their panicked and shaky voice.
"I wasn't asking. Hand over the key, now."
A rude voice responded, lacking any kind of emotion towards the chin that was sobbing.

Wait..that sounded like..

I had a suspicion of who it could be. But I wasn't sure, so I slowly made my way over.Softly placing my hand on the rough bark of the tree before tilting my head slightly. Ah..I was right.

It was indeed who I though it was. The mist hashira, tokito muichiro. A long haired kid my age.. I say kid because of how young he looks.
He was holding on tightly- or more like choking.. the poor village kid. Hoisting him up slightly in the air as he continued to ask for a sort or key.

The poor guy was bawling, even tears were streaming down the mask he wore.. without even thinking about it I made my way over too the two. Quickly grabbing muichiro's hand with my own before forcefully pulling it off of the guy.

Muichiro seemed taken aback..stunned even. He didn't look my way until a few seconds later, a cold and sharp gaze.. "Hey. Who even are y- Ah! Tanjiro!?" He gasped.. he took a few steps back, ears slightly pink from what I guess was embarresment.

"Hey! Don't let him get away with this ma'am! I will back you up! Go! Go!" The villager said, holding onto my haori with a death grip. Practically using me as a shield. Did he seriously think I was going to fight muichiro? Wait..did he just call me ma'am?

did he just call me ma'am?

"Im not doing anything. Let go." I scoffed, tugging my sleeve in the opposite direction so he would be forced to let go. He jumped slightly. Even if he was wearing a mask...I could tell he seemed surprised.

"Y-you're...H-HUH" he yelped now hiding behind muichiro. Who also seemed equally stunned, probably for a diffrent reason.

"T-tanjiro..what are you doing here?" The mist hashira stuttered over his words slightly. Tilting his head as he looked at me up and down.. completly ignoring the villager.

"Im getting my sword replaced. Now what was just...going on?" I pointed to the kid, then him with a skeptical look on my face. Sure, I should be happy to see a fellow 'co-worker' but still..my fellow 'co-worker' was just seen harrasing a poor kid?

MUIRCHO'S POV

Who the hell just grabbed my arm. I felt my blood boil as a rough hand grabbed mine, forcefully yanking it off of the stupid kid. Why was he making this harder for me? Didn't he get he is wasting a hashira's precious time.

Whatever, first I'm going to put this person in their place. "Hey. Who even are y- Ah! T-tanjiro?!" I almost shouted. What was he doing here! D-did..he seriously see all of that? I felt my ears go pink as I backed away slightly.. Does he think I'm a bad person?!

The apprentice I was grabbing a few seconds ago hid behind tanjiro. Digging his nails into the fabric of his hoari as he pointed at me accusingly. "Hey! Don't let him get away with this ma'am! I will back you up! Go! Go!" He commanded.. did he think he has some authority over tanjiro.. of all people?

I could hear tanjiro scoff slightly as he yanked his arm away. Good.. I wouldn't have liked if I had to do that myself. "Im not doing anything, let go." He ordered. Obviously startling the kid into backing away from him..

The villager stammered over his words as he most likely tried to procces what the hell just happened.. running over and hiding behind me instead.

Whatever, I'll deal with him later. "T-tanjiro..what are you doing here?" I asked, trying my hardest to seem calm and natural.. come on! Focus already damn it.

Tanjiro nodded slightly. Glancing at the kid then me "I'm getting my sword replaced. Now..what was just going on..?" He pointed to me and the kid. I'm..im just going to try and explain myself..and hope for the best.
