Training with Urokodaki had to be the worst decision of Nezuko's life. The hell was neverending. Urokodaki had made quick work with her stereotypical karate stance and kept punching her in the STOMACH. I mean she is a GIRL, what was this old man thinking!? Then Urokodaki proceeded to lead Nezuko up the mountain and then told her to be back by sunrise. 'Good luck young one.' He thought. Nezuko wasted no time at all making her way down the mountain getting smacked by logs, stabbed with sticks, and falling in holes. 'Jeez.' She thought. (Since she doesn't have the heightened sense of smell the traps are harder for her to dodge) She began predicting where the traps were coming from by the sound of the release of the trap. (And no she does not have superhearing the traps just make a lot of noise) She managed to make the bottom of the mountain about an hour before sunrise she presumed by looking at the moon and the sun's light slowly peeking over the horizon. Urokodaki made her some Udon as a cause for celebration and sent her to bed. Nezuko was very pissed off. She didn't want to train with Urokodaki. 

She wanted to train with... She couldn't finish her thought as she drifted into a sleep.  That night Nezuko had the weirdest of dreams. She was looking down at some small children who were looking back up at her and they called her mother! Ok, what the heck is going on. She thought. But then she noticed something off about them. They had demonic features. They had the slitted eyes, the fangs, and two of them(there are 3 btw) had a horn on there right and left sides separately. Then she heard a soft yet calm voice. "I'm sorry but they are half-demon as I am one and you are human." Then she woke up, panting heavily.

Nope, just a dream just a dream nope nope nope. She thought. Who was this demon and why did I... eeeewwwwwwwww. Yuck. Nezuko thought dismissing her dream. She then immeadiently went back to training with Urokodaki. The training was harder than before but she needed anything, literally anything to get her mind off of that cursed dream. The distracted Nezuko then got punched in the stomach very hard by Urokodaki. She even coughed up a bit of blood. She then looked at Urokodaki seeing nothing but that ugly mask of his. Oh, how she hated that mask. She then punched Urokodaki right back but harder than she thought. The Ex-pillar ended bending over coughing and eventually sitting himself down as he tried to regain his breath. "You really have gotten stronger Nezuko, that is exactly what you do when a human being controlled by a demon tries to attack you. Except you have to aim for here." He said as he pointed to his solar plexus. "It's more efficient for you and causes the target minimal amounts of pain. But I am still proud of you none the less. And now let's get back to training." He put her through more similar trap tests and ended up leading her to a large boulder. And then he said. "Now cut it." 


How was I supposed to cut a boulder in half. I mean come on a little girl like me is supposed to cut a boulder in half. What was that geezer thinking? He must have dementia or something. "I once had to cut this boulder long ago and all of my final selection students have done the same." As he said that Nezuko's mouth dropped. No way was he serious he has to be kidding. This has to be some kind of sick joke. But by the time she turned around to ask him he was gone and box was left there with a note saying 1 month's worth of food but I recommend savoring it. So he wasn't kidding.

Okay, so I am going to stop making promises I can't keep okay. I am sorry that chapters have not been coming out as fast I said they would be. I have had a lack of motivation, I am in the process of making a discord server so anyone that reads my stories can join but to hear about it faster you could follow me. And I love the little sarcasm I gave Nezuko I think it is funny. And i have made up my mind on Tanjiro's blood demon art so I hope you guys will like what I do with it. I also noticed a few of you guys missed chapter 3 because I posted it after i posted about my new story so go check that out. I will see you next time. Peace Out!
