Tanjiro's POV

Tanjiro lay in bed, his hands gripping the blankets tightly. 

The little boy took deep breaths as he git his baring's again. 

It was just a dream...

The red headed child smiled at himself, it wasn't real.. was it..?

Inside the room, Tanjiro lay on the matress on the ground. All the windows were closed, but the wind could still blow through. The room had a dim candle sheding light around the area Tanjiro was, and as he winced, he studied the room to find a door on the other side.

It was his time! He could escape to Muzan!

But as he threw the covers from his body, and bolted for the door. A pair of strong hands grabbed Tanjiro and picked the boy up. Then resting him onto their chest.

The boy's eyes went wide as he looked up to see dark black hair.

A man stared down at Tanjiro, and his eyes glistened as his crimson eyes stared into them.

"It's okay Tanjiro.. you're safe here... we'll take care of you..." The man said in a monotone voice. "We can promise that.." He finished. After he snuggled Tanjiro closer to his chest, he started rocking him side by side ever so slowly.

My mind was in pieces. I didn't like this... I really didn't- 

I felt safe... I felt loved...

Who was this man? Who was the girl?

Were they my brother and sister? Or were they..

Liars?

They were going to minipulate him wern't they. These humans were demon slayers... and they were going to use him to kill.. Muzan.. 

The brain of his finally kicked in as he scrambled and pushed against the mans arms. Trying tp free himself. Even though he tried to do anything.. anything! To get free, Tanjiro felt so weak..

Why wern't his powers working? Why was he so pathetic?

Muzan will punish him if he didn't kill these demon slayers.

Why did you leave me Muzan!


Nezuko's POV

A man ran up to me and tapped my shoulder as I was training with my katana. The sunlight reflecting on it's crimson colour.

I turned around at the touch, looking at the panicked man in front of me. Naturally, I got ready for hard news. Was Muzan coming to get Tanjiro again? Were their demons killing and eating people?

As the man panted and regained his stamina, there was only word that I heard when he gasped the words out. 

"Tanjiro..."

I bolted through the building, my footsteps echoed and bounced on the walls. Nezuko could feel the wind picking up beside her. She could feel it guiding her to the room Tanjiro was in without her hitting anything or anyone.

She whispered a silent thank you, but was immediately stopped by a blooding piercing scream that echoed through the halls.

It was Tanjiro!

Using my full strength, I thrusted myself forwards toward the end of the building. Picking up my pase, the wind even had trouble keeping up with me.

I figured that I was using the winds energy to run this fast. But what she didn't know, was that later, Nezuko would find out that it was a new water breathing skill. Made completely by her own hands.
