"Well, well........what kind of fun do we have brewing here?"

Glancing over recognising his voice, Sanemi stood there with a wide intimidating grin etched on his face. He stood there with a large box in hand with straps attached to it, assuming what was inside. The silence grew between us all whilst I stood there wondering what he was gonna do, and hoping he doesn't do anything drastic. Despite the Hashira that were present here immediately decided to decapitate Tanjiro, I knew Sanemi was gonna be the worst.

"....Is that the moron who brought a demon along with him?" Sanemi gestures to Tanjiro, who was staring in shock seeing to recognise the box. "What the hell are you trying to pull here, exactly?"

(Those new scars make Shinazugawa look even more handsome! Hayami is so lucky to have a man like him by her side! ~ Mitsuri's Inner thoughts)

"Please, Master Shinazugawa!!!" A kakushi rushes towards him from around teh building, in alarm. "I must ask you to put down that box!"

Closing my eyes I try to maintain my urges to speak up hastily, even though I sensed Shinobu's anger summarily seeing her stand up before Tanjiro when she was just giving him water.

(Wow! Even when she's angry, Shinobu still looks as cool as ever! ~ Mitsuri's inner thoughts)

"Shinazugawa, please don't act out of line," Shinobu warns him, steadily yet Sanemi ignores her plea.

"Run that by me again, kid?......She can fight as a Demon Slayer to protect humans' was that it? You know what we call that?" before he grabs the hilt of his blade, drawing it swiftly. "Completely impossible, you idiot!!!!"

Without hesitation Sanemi plunges his blade forcefully into the box, as I sensed the sound of a child whimpering. The blade pierces right through the other side, blood spraying from his attack.

My eyes darken feeling my stomach churn at this, but before I could speak up Tanjiro picks him up in anger and rushes towards Sanemi.

"Anyone who harms my sister answers to me!!!!" The boy warns everyone, seeing a blaze of fire ignite behind his maroon eyes. "I don't give a damn if you're one of the hashira!!!"

Sanemi chuckles sinisterly and drawings his blade out from the box, swiping it to rid the blood from his tainted blade.

"Well, how very nice for you," Sanemi mocks him, sarcastically. 

Without warning Tanjiro yells out angrily feeling the tension rising, knowing deep down Tanjiro's feelings are validated with me already. This feeling wasn't unchanging, the moment I stepped on the grounds before him. Even I sensed no malice from the child within that box, my words weren't enough to end this argumental of a debate 

"Cease this!!" Giyuu shouts abruptly. "The master will be arriving shortly!!!!"

This causes Sanemi to hesitate when Tanjiro charges towards him, as my partner steps back swiping his blade. Yet the boy dodges his attack hoisting himself into the air raising his head as my eyes widen, before he slams his skull against Sanemi's head. My eyes widen seeing him collapse suddenly which was unlike him to fall at such an attack, making him drop the box.

Silence falls between all of us, when a soft stifled chuckle follows straight to Mitsuri who cowers behind her hands, "Pardon me,"

Tanjiro quickly got to his feet faster and stood between the box and my partner, seeing him unharmed from that immense headbutt. What was his head even made of? It was rather interesting, despite my concerns for Sanemi's headache he'll receive later.
