The open box revealed a petite girl inside. She was pale, a vampire kind of pale. Her raven hair was flowing in the slight breeze. You could see the orange tips she had. She also had pink eyes. There were veins about ready to pop out of her forehead. She also had a bamboo muzzle in her mouth. You wondered why she had it.

Why would a mere human be accompanying a demon?

You heard the demon's thoughts. It was like the final selection. The girl in the box was a demon. Though, she doesn't seem mean. In fact, she was protecting Tanjirou. The girl got out of the box fully, and faced the demon. The angry look on her face was towards him. Just who was this girl?

"I don't get it at all," the demon said as it retreated into its puddle of goo. After your little vibe check, you thought the same thing.

The demon girl looked at you. Her expression was more relaxed. She might've been smiling too. The girl walked over to you. It was like she didn't remember being threatening earlier. You ended up staring at the girl, dumbfounded. The glow in her eyes showed some sort of warmth. They seemed curious too. That was when you felt the girl's hands cup your face. In an instant, you tensed up. Demon or not, a stranger was touching you. Still, there was something drawing you to the demon girl. Her hands felt warm against your face. The long nails she had weren't going into your skin. You couldn't read the girl's mind at all either. Was is because you weren't touching her at all? You didn't know.

"Um, hi?" you said in a meek voice. A small grunt came from the girl. It was like she was saying 'hello' in her own way. You probably looked like an idiot right now. Though, most people might feel weird if a stranger touched their face.

"Nezuko."

The demon girl turned around after Tanjirou interrupted your staring contest. Her name is Nezuko. You kept that in mind.

Nezuko let go of your face and faced the black puddles that started to form again. The demon girl's veins were on her forehead again. She walked towards the puddle demon. Anger was in her eyes. She runs to the demon, ready to kick it. Before she could, the demon went back into its puddle. However, Nezuko didn't look satisfied from it. The girl was about ready to chase after that demon. Wherever it may be.

"Don't chase after him Nezuko!" Tanjirou calls out to the demon. "Just come to me."

The girl listened to what the boy told her. She was running towards him. The glow in her pink eyes showed she knew him, very well. Tanjirou's eyes seemed to soften too.

Suddenly, another black puddle appears. The demon you're fighting rises up. It was ready to grab the demon girl by the arms when she dodged it. Nezuko's movements were quick. Even quicker than the puddle demon's. This kept going on in a pattern. A puddle would show up and the raven haired girl would dodge the demon's movements with ease. It went on until there were no more puddles to be seen at the moment.

You didn't know how to handle the situation at all. The sword was probably right in being green. You were totally out of your element right now. All you could do was step backwards to avoid a growing puddle. As time went by, the puddle got bigger. It might become a small pond if it kept growing at this rate. You saw that Tanjirou was thinking and looked to you and Nezuko.

"Nezuko, (Y/N)," he said. "I'm going underground. I need you to protect these two." The redhead pointed to Kazumi and the unconscious woman. You kinda forgot those two were there. They were important to keep safe, but what about your friend. You just made friends with someone. You couldn't lose an early bond.

"Are you sure?" you asked. "You don't know what's down there."

"I'll be fine. I'm counting on you to protect my little sister."
