The Crimson 'Demon' (TCF/TOTCF x Demon Slayer)

Getting used to it

As Cale sets his eyes on the black haired swordsman he noticed the other is wearing something different then what he wears normally.

Choi Han was wearing wide legged black pants, black shirt, with a black and gray haori. With gray socks and similar sandals to what the red head was wearing.

Cale walks over to the sleeping swordsman and leaned down. "Choi han, time to wake up." He said and softly shook the other's shoulder.

Choi han grumbles and slowly opens his onyx eyes. His calloused hand grips his sheathed sword as he looked up at where the familiar voice was coming from. Seeing the redheaded commander he serves. "Cale-nim..? Did I fall asleep?" He spoke as rubbed his eye softly.

The red haired man sighs and stands up straight, holding out his hand to help the other man up. Even though he was quite weak physically. "Kinda, I'll explain inside."

Once the swordsman was up he led Choi Han inside.  Instructing the other to leave his shoes by the door as he did the same.

Cale walks to the living room like area. He sits on a cushion, Choi Han sitting on the one next to him.

"Cale-nim, what's going on? I don't see Ron, the childern, Eruhaben, or the others." Choi Han spoke as he looked around the barren house. He couldn't sense anyone's mana or presence that he was familiar with.

Cale sighs and rubs his forehead a bit. "The God of Death made a mistake and transported us to another dimension. We're currently in Taisho era Japan. But there's something unique about this world....Demon exist but it seems they only come out at night." He explains as he puts on his stoic face, looking at Choi Han.

"It's always the God of Death. Dragging you into stuff like this Cale-nim. Is there anyone beside us?" The swordsman grumbled the first part before asking. 'GoD always drags Cale-nim into his bidding, even after everything.' Choi Han thought.

Cale shivers slightly at Choi han's angry eyes. "I'm unsure, from what I was told there's two more people here in this world. But I don't know who or where they are. I just hope the kids aren't here." 

"Don't worry Cale-nim, we'll find them. Then when we get back we'll burn down the God's temple." Choi han gives a smile.

"Yeah...Yeah." Cale sighs. He was tired. At least he doesn't have to do anything here. He can slack in Taisho Japan. Right now, he wasn't against burning down God's temples. "Since we have to live here until that bastard fixes this, we atleast have to learn some of the customs. It seems like we currently live in the countryside, but not too far from a town I've  seen some buildings in the distance. From my knowledge, you can't bring your sword in public."

Choi han nods softly as Cale spoke but frowns as he was told he couldn't bring his sword into town. But how could he protect Cale if he didn't have his sword? He does know hand to hand combat but he's a sword master.

"It's a law since it's supposed to be a peaceful time period. I'm sure you can handle without a sword Choi han." Cale said and stood up, walking over to the small kitchen close by taking out two slices of apple pie. Walking back  and handing the swordsman a peice. "You're smart and strong." He gave a slight smile to try and calm the other.

Cale doesn't want an angry Choi han running around.

Choi han's cheeks flush softly and takes the pie from Cale. Nodding softly. "I'll find a way Cale-nim!" He gives a happy smile.

Cale gave a slight nod, acknowledging as he took a bite of the apple pie. Why was Choi han's cheeks flush? Hopefully he isn't sick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 weeks have passed since Cale and Choi han entered this dimension. 

Cale has adjusted well, having gone into the town and learned from some books he's found in the house. He has taught Choi han some of the Japanese customs and mannerism they would fit in enough. They were, hopefully, not going to be here long. 

Choi han has been helping around the house and training in the backyard, using the tree. He always goes with Cale when he goes into town, stilling doing his guard role even though he can't use his sword. Though he isn't allowed in the kitchen, Cale doesn't want the house to burn down. 

Cale had found family records in the house, finding out that he was sole living relative of the extremely rich Henituse family in this world. Known throughout the surrounding villages. This made Cale smirk as he had some sort of power in this world, even if it was only through small villages . 'This was God of Death's doing. Thinking that I'll forgive him. Ha, no way.' Cale thought as he closes the family registery book.

He puts the book back. Cale walks out of the room and to the kitchen, grabbing some onigri he had made earlier.  He grabbed 3, one for himself and two for Choi han since he's been training most of the day. 

Even if they're in another world, he still has to take care of his people.

He walks out the backdoor as he heard Choi han training, using a tree as a practice dummy. He sits down on the porch, hanging his legs over the edge.

"Choi han, come here. It's lunch time." Cale spoke, Choi Han stopping and looking over at Cale. He swears he could see a wagging tail.

Choi han walks over, laying his sword beside him as he sits next to the other.

Cale was already eating as he hands the swordsman the other two onigri. "Here, you've been non stop training since breakfast. You must be hungry." He said with his normal stoic face.

Choi han's eyes light up a bit, " Thank you Cale-nim! You're cooking is good, I'm surprised you learned Japanese meals so fast." He takes a bite out of the onigri with a smile.

"Well they're the easiest to make with the ingredients we can find. Plus, i found some cook books." Cale shrugs as he eats. "Soon, we'll start looking for our other two family members."

Choi han nods as he finishes the first onigri. "Are wearing to travel around? I hope they're close by, I keep hearing rumors about these demons around. I know our family is strong but we don't know what the demons are capable of here." He spoke softly as he took a bite of his second onigri. Worry clouding his eyes 

"They can figure it out, allow our family is smart and strong enough." A small smile appears on Cale's lips but he quickly goes back to his stoic demeanor. "And yes we will, we'll first check the surrounding villages and areas. And then if we can't find them here, we'll travel more."

Cale reaches into his yukata and pulls out a second spacial pouch, tossing it over to Choi han. "Found this while searching the house. I already have one so use it as you please. I'm speculating the bastard God of Death is trying to make up for sending up here." He gave a slight scoff as he thinks.

The redhead then stands up and walks back towards the door. "We'll be starting off our journey in a week." He said as he went inside.

"Yes Cale-nim!" Choi han smiles and nods.
