"Yes, Tanjiro!"

The man with the dual colored Haori looks to me, his sword sheathed and he's messing with rope as Inosuke keeps Yapping.

"What is he?" He asks, "I'm not sure, he got flung in that direction."

The man looks at where I pointed, and looks at me up and down. "How did you get here? There are no villages nearby. You should try getting out of here."

"I came here with Tanjiro." The man hums and Inosukes suddenly tied up on a tree. He nods and begins walking away.

"You have a katana. Use it to get out of here." The strange man disappears. My face slightly shifts into one of doubt. Should I leave? I'm clearly no use here.

I'm kind of just piggy backing and getting in the way.. And a part of me would rather try to figure out how ti get back to Ponyville. But.. this feels like a totally different Earth. I have no idea where I am..

I look up at Inosuke who's just knocked out at this point, hanging with the rope tied around his mid section. I sigh and let my shoulders slumps.

I look down at myself and dust off my purple kimono, it's starting to get raggedy. I need to wash it soon.

"Inosuke," I attempt to call out his name multiple times, but he's out cold. I'm too afraid to attempt to find Tanjiro, so instead, I sit by the tree he hangs by and wait.

Wait for what? No idea, but it's the less deadly option.

It felt like ages until I heard a bird pass saying to safely bring Tanjiro and Nezuko to head quarters. Mind you it was horrendously difficult to understand the Japanese of a loud groaning bird.

I stare at the bird as it passes, and some demon slayer worker comes up to me, jump scaring me a bit.

"Excuse me?" I whip my head around. "What's going on here?"

I look up at Inosuke. "He needs help, he was nearly choked to death. Uhm, some demon slayer tied him up there."

The worker raised a brow, but nonetheless them and some others began lowering Inosuke. I just watch, finally realizing the bird was glowing for Tanjiro.

"Why were the crows asking to bring Tanjiro and Nexuko to head-quarters?" The worker looks to me.

"Are you even a slayer? This is none of your business. Are you even injured? Go home."

How rude. "Excuse me? I have no home. And I wish to become a slayer."

The worker scoffs, going back to treating Inosuke. "How do I become a slayer?"

The worker whips his head around. "Ugh, you do final selection. It's in a month, but you look too scrawny to survive seven days in there."

"Final selection? Seven days where?"

"For seven days your put into an area with demons and in order to become a slayer you must survive or slay."

Survive or slay? Psh. I can do one of those..

"How do I sign up?"

"You don't. You just show up."

After miserably trying to get more information out of the shady worker I was met with this pretty lady with a butterfly clip who inquired me about any injuries.

I asked her about becoming a slayer, and she laughed. "You should just get back home, darling. You're too pretty to be a slayer."

??? okay...

I watched them leave with all the injured people and dead bodies. I stood at the entrance of the forest watching everybody move. I saw Tanjiro tied up, and Nezuko in here box being carried away.
