"I'm so glad, you're safe,"

Tanjiro hoarsely spoke; Nezuko steps forward patting Kotetu's head with a smile with Tanjiro on her back. Tanjiro soon passed out earlier, knowing he gave it his all during the entire night til daybreak.

"Thankyou, for that sword," Tanjiro adds; blood running down his right temple.

Muichiro's eyes were filled with appreciation, "I should be thanking you," He replies; gratefully. "It's because of you, that I recovered something precious to me."

Tanjiro seemed confused, "Huh? But how....?" he asks, stunned by the Mist Hashira. "I don't think I did anything."

"Tanjiro, I can't thank you enough," Muichiro smiles, with a softened expression; repeating himself.

Tanjiro remains surprised, "If you say so......"

Muichiro tilts his head, "But more importantly, what's going on with Nezuko?" He asks; Nezuko tilts her head cutely in response to Muichiro.

"Uh well.....actually......" Tanjiro stumbles over his words; when I hear a growling voice appear beside us out of nowhere.

My vision was still bleary trying stay up with the help of Genya, when I noticed it was Haganezuka who seemed rather angry without his mask on. More enraged I should put it. Poor Kanamori stood beside him, trying to calm down the pissed off swordsmith, but to no avail, "You........what did you do with my unfinished swords?!" He shouts angrily, his aura darkening all around.

"Please calm down," Kanamori pleads.

"Uh.....Mr haganezuka?" Tanjiro stammers out, in shock.

"I asked you what happened to the sword I was honing, you little ungrateful brat?!" Haganezuka points at him, accusingly. 

"Oh I fought an Upper Rank with it," Tanjiro replies, honestly.

"So you used it to fight, huh?!" Haganezuka growls. 

"To fight and.....?" Tanjiro tilts his head, as he sweat drops. "......huh? Then what happened? I blacked out and...and....."

"Did you break it?!" Haganezuka denounces, before he charges towards Tanjiro til he was up in the poor young slayers face. "If you broke it, you better fess up to the truth!!!!" before jabbing his finger into Tanjiro's cheek forcefully.

Tanjiro griimaces, "I didn't break it, I didn't break it--!!!!"

A villager tries to show Haganezuka the sword, "No, wait! It's here!"

"I'm going to kill you!!!!!" Haganezuka yells, cutting off the poor villager as he ignored him again.

Suddenly Tanjiro pleads Nezuko to run for him, as the angry swordsmith began to harass poor Tanjiro all around. He began to chase him all around, when the sword was here and safe and sound. Glancing up to Genya, I give him a weak smile before grimacing slightly hunching over. Kanamori kept trying to call out to Haganezuka over and over that it was safe, but the arrogant man wouldn't listen to anyone.

Suddenly a taller man storm towards Haganezuka and grabs him by the collar, as his face was similiar to Hotaru's. However their eye colour was different, noticing the young scarred mans face with golden eyes. 

"Wait, is that......?" I breath out, only to see him slam his fist upon Haganezuka's head. 

"Give the boy a damn rest, would ya elder brother?" He spoke firmly; before holding him like it was nothing when Hotaru began to thrash.
