*sigh*

With a blank expression on your face, you slowly walked through the dark forest in hopes of some demons coming after you. You hunt down the demons before they hunt you after all. It's been days, or weeks perhaps, since your stay in this world and your only fun memory was your first encounter with a demon.

You wanted to fight, to be able to kill again. The thought of having something else to take away other than a human's life was surely a good change for you.

Urokodaki wouldn't let you out, considering it was already dark outside, yet you yourself pleaded him that you were going to die of boredom if you didn't go hunting for demons. So in the end, he had no choice but to accept.

It's been minutes since you've been walking, and to be honest, you just felt like screaming so atleast a demon would come get you.

"OI!! DEMONS! COME GET ME GODDAMNIT!-" You stopped, knowing it was no use.

Your eye twitched, annoyed.

"When I was naked busy eating my berries a demon would come after me now--" yeah sure go naked again. You slapped yourself, what an idiotic idea. Not really- it makes the demon think you're more vulnerable.

You groaned, shoulders slumping down.

Aight, I'll just collect logs then like old man wanted. Having no other choice, you did your other task.

While in the middle of your log collecting mission though, you suddenly heard around two people shouting at each other. You got up from your crouched position, looking towards the area.

"Oh hell yeah-!" You grinned, not until a rock zoomed past your face.

"Bi-! The hell?" You turned behind you, picking up the rock.

"Are they in a wrestling match or something?" You muttered. Shrugging, you lifted your hand back, going in stance ready to throw the rock. Gaining momentum, you gripped the rock and threw it back to where it came from, eyes widening as a yelp came and silence followed next.

You raised an eyebrow, wondering if you killed the other guy bickering.

"Who's there?!" Somewhere from the distance was what you heard.

°•°•°•°
Giyu, Tanjiro, Nezuko

"LOOK OUT!!"

"ACK-!" Tanjiro leapt out of the way as a rock sped past him. It hit the tree, denting and creating a hole in it. Their eyes widened, quickly looking to where it came from.

"If I hadn't warned you that rock would've made a hole in your head instead of that tree." The black-haired man said, readying his sword.

"Who's there?!" He shouted, not expecting an answer. His eyes squinted, glaring into the darkness.

Suddenly, a yawn came.

"Wow, a demon, finally."

Out came a woman, her (h/l) (h/c) framing her structure. Opening her closed eyes, she reveals her pink eyes that seemed to glow a tiny reddish color in the dark.

Tanjiro readied himself after hearing the woman mention about a demon being there.

"Who are you?" Giyuu spat.

The girl stared at him, "I don't know, who are you? Holding a demon hostage?" She mocked, or atleast tried to-

"I'm Giyuu Tomioka. I'm just trying to do my job here. Now who are you?" He said.

"Ah, well, I'm (Y/n), and I'm hunting for demons." She shrugged. Tanjiro gritted his teeth.

"My sister may be a demon, but she can never kill a human!! Please just understand! Back at home, there was somebody else's scent there, so it couldn't have been Nezuko that killed them!!" He shouted.

°•°•°•°

You looked at the boy before you, surprised. So this was what Urokodaki's talking about, humans turning into demons.

"Oi, you." You spoke up, causing them to all turn to you. You facepalmed.

"No, only you, earrings boy. Tell me, how important is your sister to you?" You bluntly asked, causing him to look at you a bit surprised at the question you gave.

"Nezuko, my sister, I'll protect her with all my life! For my family... I'd do anything just so Nezuko is safe!" He shouted, determination showing through.

You stepped back, not sure whether to interfene in their stupid fight.

" Tanjiro, you said your sister can never eat a human, right?" He hesitantly nodded, watching as you raised something from your pocket.

"Giyu, move." You sternly said, causing Giyu to grit his teeth before doing so, still close to the demon.

You sighed, walking closer to Nezuko.

Raising the blade up, the two boy's eyes widened as they realized what you were about to do. You quickly brought the sharp object down, causing your wrist to be slit open.

Keeping a calm facade on, you brought your hand up to the girl before you.

"Demons like the smell of blood, don't they? Then Nezuko, come drink my blood. You need the energy right?" Even as a diclonius, you didn't have as much regeneration like some diclonii have, so it did hurt but you didn't mind, you've felt worse.

"NEZUKO! DON'T!!" Tanjiro shouted, somehow worried. Their eyes widened as Nezuko suddenly ran, going towards you.

"Nezuko-!"

She ran past you.

You raised your eyebrows up, amused. You turned around, seeing her by her brother's side, in a stance ready to defend her brother.

"Well, Giyuu, usually a demon would've seen me as a feast earlier yet Nezuko didn't even care." You looked at him, "give them a chance now, will you?" He tch'ed, averting his gaze from you.

"Fine. Before I go though," Giyu ran up to them, slamming the side of his hand both on the side of their neck, somewhere close the back of the ear, efficiently knocking the two out.

"That was... unnecessary." You told him. He stared at you, the stoic expression present as ever on his face.

"I just need to get something."

°•°•°•°

"Are you serious? That's all you had to get? You could've asked me, I literally have them in my backpack." He paused a bit, before continuing his job of tying the bamboo thing on Nezuko's mouth.

After he was done, he went back in somewhere away from the two. You looked at Tanjiro and his sister, then back to where Giyu was going to.

You know what, this emotionless guy peaks my interest.

°•°•°•°

"You're awake?" Giyu spoke up as he came out from behind the trees, eyeing Tanjiro and Nezuko.
Tanjiro quickly acted, protectively wrapping his arms around his sister.

"Go see an old man named Sakonji Urokodaki who lives at the foot of Mount Sagiri. Tell him that Giyu Tomioka sent you." He rurned around to leave, before stopping again,

"Your sister should be fine because the sun isn't out today... don't let her into direct sunlight." And he finally left.

You blinked your eyes, Urokodaki?

"Tanjiro-kun, I'll accompany you. I know where he is." You told the two. Hr still seemed wary of you, but then remembered the fact that you slit your wrist hust to prove that Nezuko wouldn't eat anyone.

"Y-your wrist! A-are you okay?!" You nodded, shooing him off so he wouldn't have to worry about you.

"Come on."

"Wait- i-i have to go back first..." you blinked your eyes at him, until you remembered the little story earlier and understood what he was going to do. You firmly nodded.

"I'll come with you, in case something wrong happend again."

And so the three of you took off to say your prayers to their deceased loved ones.
