「Chapeter I」

Hey there the Art above is from a user on tumblr who goes by the name of daglout PLEASE SUPPORT THEM THEY ARE GODLY

   Sunbeams showered down from the clouds trickling down on the busy streets. As people walked and cars honked no one seemed to stop and look around.
Everything was the same as its always been. Tanjiro stopped looking at the sky, taking in the view.
"Tanjiro, come on we have to go or I'll be late." Nezuko whined as she dragged her brother towards the school.
He frowned and removed himself from her grip, patting her on the head.
  "Sorry I'll hurry up."

   Today was a special day, you see today is nezukos first year of public school, she would be started out as a junior while Tanjiro was a senior.
  "Hey nezu, be careful today. School isn't like the comics you read." He smiled down at his sister who pouted "I'm not a little kid- or stupid I'll be fine!"
His smile grew slightly as he chuckled to himself and continued to walk, nezuko running away eagerly.

His smile faded slowly as his surroundings started to blur, his head growing fuzzy. Nezuko stopped running and looked back to him, calling out his name.
He shook his head and ran his finger through his hair, "Sorry sorry- I'm coming."

 
  As the day continued Tanjiro kept his head down, during lunch he went to check on nezuko, she seemed to be busy with some new friends. So he ended up going to the roof to eat by himself.
   The clouds had cleared a tiny bit and the sun radiantly glowed down on him as he sat back against the chain fence on top of the roof. 
   He wasn't sure if he was even supposed to be out here or not but, he liked it a lot.
Even though he came here to eat in silence he found himself not eating at all. It wasn't that his mind was busy, more like the opposite.

   After lunch was class, and then more class, as the teacher called roll he couldn't help but wonder about a student who was never there.

  "Inosuke Hashibira."
No response except some whispering and giggles from some students.
  "I heard on the way here a freshman bumped into him and then things got bad- and he's already suspended."
  "No way!"
"Quite down, Tana- uh.. Tanjiro.."
"Ah- I'm here." He stood up fast knocking his desk over "Oh- I'm sorry-"
  The teacher pinched the bridge of her noise "right. Sit down."
    The class giggled and he put his head down only moving it to look out the window. He closed his eyes again taking a deep breath and falling asleep.

  It wasn't long before he woke up from his silent slumber, the classroom empty apart from the teacher grading papers at the front.
"Ah, so you're awake? Tanjiro was it? Please don't make it a habit to fall asleep in my class. School ended around half and hour ago, I suggest you pack your things and head home."
"Half an hour- Nezuko!" He shot up tripping over his desk, this time it didn't fall.
He ran all the way out to his locker only to see a note taped onto it.

'Hey, couldn't find you so Me and a new friend walked home together. cya at home -Nezu'

A sigh of relief followed as soon as he finished reading the note. He crumbled it up and threw it away after getting his books from his locker.
The walk home was nice, scenic. He wondered off path some time ago, but he didn't mind, he liked to take in his surroundings.
The sun started to set, the sky glowing a warm orange. Tanjiro smiled as he looked at the sky, he breathed in and chucked.

In the mountains there's only trees, here there were trees and buildings. It was an ideal scenery to live in. The buildings around him were beautiful in there own ways, the details and cracks on the brick walls added some sort of vague beauty.
He began to walk again, his eyes aimed towards the sky until its glow started to fade and the sky began to darken. It didn't take long before the stars to shine through a partly cloudy sky. Everything was peaceful, until it wasn't.
"Goddamnit, Stupid machine let go of me!" A loud clashing noise started tanjiro out of his mind and back into reality.
He turned around only to be faced with a funny site, A boy, around his age sat on the pavement with his arm stuck in a vending machine.
He chuckled to himself only earning the others attention.
"Hey asshole! I'll give you something to laugh about as soon as I'm out of this death trap!" The boy shouted.
Tanjiro giggles pushing his hair back "Sorry let me help you."he walked over and bent down.
"I don't need your help, I'm perfectly fi-" tanjiro shook his head and smiled at the stranger. "It's no problem at all." The other stopped fighting and just looked away, a red tint brushing across his face.

"Here you go," tanjiro freed the boys arm and backed away standing back up and holding his hand out.
The stranger clicked his tongue and moved tanjiros hand away standing up on his own. Leaving Tan with a frown"Ah- sorrry, I couldn't help but notice your uniform, do you go to |XXX-XXXXX|?"
"Eh? How Do you know that..What are you a stalker?"
He tilted his head and then pointed at the crest on his own uniform and then the boys.
  "Oh." It was silent after that for a while. "So uh- how did you get stuck..?"
"Stupid KitKat bar got stuck- I mean I payed for it so obviously I'm gonna get it." He mumbled the last part which made tanjiro smile, he wasn't sure why.
"How long have you been stuck?"
"What is this an interview?"
"No-no sorry i just thought-"
"I've been stuck since like 8am."

Tanjiro looked at him, for a moment he was silent before he started laughing.
"What so you-" he paused to catch his breath "you've been here all day and no one helped?"
"Well this one girl from our school did but I told her if she touched me I'd bite her." The boy said this proudly as if he was displaying a badge of honor.
Tanjiro laughed again and this time the other boy did too, when they had finally quited down tanjiro finally became aware of how dark it was outside.
"Ah- I've gotta get home soon- don't you?" He looked over and the other boy nodded.
"It was nice meeting you- oh what's your name?"
"Huh? You've probably already heard it."
Tanjiro tilt his head only to earn a cocky grin from the stranger.
"Inosuke Hashibira," The boy smiled.
"Cya around!" And just like that he took off in the other direction.

Tanjiro didn't know, but that was the
beginning of something beautiful.
