It was dark as Shinobu was dragged to who knows where. She shivered and shake, showing her vulnerability out in the dark. Saying that she was scared was saying that Nezuko had eaten a human, which by the way, was clearly a lie. Shinobu shaked because of the simplest reason.
It was freezing cold.
Her wrist however, had a completely different story. With Nezuko small, warm demon hand on her wrist, she eased out a sigh. The hand was warm and it was somewhat warming her up a little.
Their light footsteps hit the wooden floor in light pads, Nezuko speeding up a little as she let out surprised noises, reminding Shinobu exactly of a five year old child. Shinobu slightly smiled, she had missed Nezuko.
They turned corner to corner like a confusing maze, making the 'Hashira' demon feel dumb and a sense of nostalgia. She had been away for too long to even remember what the Estate was like. She used to know every nook and cranny. Now she was just as new as anyone to the Estate.
Shinobu remembered back then how Nezuko would kick the door open.
Every. Time.
Like touching a door knob was like being out in the sun, Nezuko would only, just simply destroy the poor door.
They came to a halt.
Nezuko haven't changed.
Doing exactly what Shinobu did, using the free hand that she has, the little demon lifted up her pink kimono up and-
-BAM!
Shinobu had to physically choke down a laughter. The girl was just as herself as any day. The current thing that occupied her mind though, was who's room was she in. Surprised that the door haven't actually break due to Nezuko turning softer for the doors, which Shinobu would laugh every time she thinks about it, Nezuko dragged her in the room.
"N-Nezuko? It's 3 am. What's wrong?"
Of course it was him. Her brother. Nezuko's brother.
Kamado Tanjiro. The boy was slowly sitting up in the dark and rubbing his eyes.
"Mmm! Hmm!" Nezuko frantically waved her free hand around, the other warm hand slipped down to hold Shinobu's cold one affectionately. Shinobu was happy at that moment. Nezuko had cared about her.
"I can't see or understand you, Nezuko. Flip on the lights." Tanjiro's gentle voice said, a hint of worries in his voice.
Practically slamming her hand on the switch lights, Tanjiro and Shinobu squinted their eyes due to the surprise. It was then that Tanjiro widened his eyes.
Shinobu widened her's as well.
Next to Tanjiro was Kanao. Her hair had grown long. Her body rose up and down slowly, indicating that she was asleep. The futon that both Kanae and Tanjiro rest on looked... Big. At least big enough for two people like the current situation. Kanao looked so peaceful laying next to the sitting up Tanjiro. The sleeping girl curl under the blanket closer to Tanjiro, supposedly to get more warmth. It was a cold night and it was exhausting for Shinobu. It must've taken a big certain amount of strength and lose of blood to turn into a demon. Shinobu's purple eyes soften due to the sight infront of her and also exhaustion.
But they hardened at the realisation at Kanao laying next to Tanjiro. When she was about to voice out her concern, Tanjiro cut her off.
"Shinobu-san?! Huh?!"
