The House

*mega time skip brought to you by me, your lazy author*(disclaimer, I might get a few things wrong in this chapter, sorry ^^)

You look up at the house uncertainty, Zenitsu clinging to your waist. Tanjiro was doing his best to comfort the two children you had encountered, smiling reassuringly.

The aura of this house seemed sad to you, angry and bitter. It was obviously a demon, though you could sense that there might be more.

"T-theres a sound o-f a d-d-drum in there" Zenitsu muttered, folding himself further into your curves. Hus tears were already soaking through your uniform, disgusting you but making you pity him further.

"Come on Zenitsu-chan, ill protect you!" You say with determination. He was about to reply when a some body came flying out of the window, the second story window.

You try desperately to catch them, but Zenitsu's grip on your waist prevented you from breaking their fall. The sounds of flesh and bone making impact with the ground shattered your heart, allowing you to finally shake off Zenitsu and run to their side.

It was obvious they would die, the poor boys tears mingling with the blood on his face. Your heart squeezed in your chest and your throat burned. Tears threated to fall but you picked the boy up gingerly and held him comfortably.

"D-demons! They tried to get me a-and the-" you cut him off, hoping that it would save his strength. "Im going to die, aren't i?" He asked, the fear evident in his voice.

Unable to speak you only nod. Brushing his hair tenderly you say the light begin to fade from his eyes, leaving the cold and dead.

Closing them, you put him back on the ground, saying a prayer for him. A warm hand touched your back comfortingly, the aura of tanjiro surrounding you.

Wiping your face you stand with determination. "Is he your brother?" You ask, looking at the two little kids sadly. They mutely shook their heads eyes now glued to your form. With a quick nod you start walking into the building.

"Y/n! Wait for me!" Tanjiro said, but looked over to the little kids. They might have mentioned their names but you had forgotten.

Waiting patiently for tanjiro you stand by the door, eyes closed in concentration.

There seems to be about 5 different auras in the house, one somehow familiar. The anger...

"Y/n-chan!" Zentisu moaned, hooking him self back onto your waist. "I DON'T WANT TO DIE! IM TO YOUNG, I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A WIFE OR REALLY LIVED A LIFE!" He wailed, catching you off guard. Tanjiro patted his back comfortingly before walking in through the entrance.

"You can stay here if you'd like Zenitsu-san, but me and y/n are going in to kill the demon of this house~" he said in his sing song way.

You almost chuckle, rolling your eyes at what he was doing. Quickly Zenitsu latched onto him, crying more and screaming complaints, making you wince.

A little of the way in you hear some noises, sounding distinctly like drums.  "Tan-" you were cut off by the appearance of the two kids from earlier. "What are you doing here?" You ask, now worried about how much danger they were in.

"We heard strange noises from that box!" The boy announced. Tanjiro looked disappointed and worried as he chided the children. You didn't pay all to close of attention as a familiar aura grew closer.

Without much thought you run towards it, feeling as though you were being pulled. Zenitsu and Tanjiro shouted your name, but when you went to turn around, the room changed.

*first person point of view (because that's how I normally write anyway)*

Looking around the room I was surprised to see so many papers littering the floor. curious, I picked one up and began to read. instantly I was caught in it, enjoying the story before I had made it half way. 

I had been reading most of my life, a favored pass time.

Carefully I began picking up the papers, doing my best to get them back into order and safely on a shelf. The sudden sound of a drum caught me off guard, drawing my attention towards the door. 

"Zenitsu!" I whisper yelled, quickly placing the remaining papers on a shelf only to rush out the door. The hall changed to another room, and I was quickly met by someone smashing into me. 

"ah!" I yelled out, being flung into the wall. "OUT OF MY WAY!" a familiar voice shouted, trying to get off me. they only managed to tangle us further, my hoari caught on their pants. Opening my eyes slowly, I saw the icy blue eyes of a boars head. momentarily surprised I flinched back. 

"Inosuke?" I asked, drawing his attention to me. "w/n?" he said, also sounding surprised. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY WAY!" he shouted suddenly, now trying to rip himself away from me. "h-hold on Inosuke let me help!" I cried out desperately, feeling the hoari beginning to rip. 

He froze for a second, the frustration rolling off him. I tried to lean over and grab my hoari, but I kept bumping into Inosuke's mask, frustrating the boy more. "um, Inosuke, could you please take off your mask please?" I asked sweetly, though I was sure my nervousness showed. 

Huffing out steam through the nostrils, he took the mask off, setting it to his left. "better?" he grumbled, giving me a nasty glare. I smiled back, ignoring his look. "yes, thank you" I replied before leaning forward again. 

He was on top of me, my hoari stuck to something on his pants. I was also pretty sure one of his swords was pinning my leg and his, but it seemed that we were both just ignoring that. 

Touching gingerly down his side I tried to find where I was caught, but got side track when I felt one of his ribs. A muscle twitched in his jaw, as if in pain, and his cheeks were a bright red. "Inosuke, are you alright?" I asked, making him meet my eyes. 

"Im fine you damn woman! Now find remove your fucking coat thing from me now or im going to rip it!" he replied, but it didn't hold much venom. "ok, can you lean off me than, I think it might be caught to your front" I replied. 

His eye twitched in irritation, but he did as I asked without complaint. Reaching down I pulled on my hoari, seeing that it was in fact caught on something on the front of his pants. My knuckle brushed against his stomach, and a small noise escaped his mouth. "Ino-" I began, but he cut me off quickly. 

"JUST GET THE FUCKING THING OFF" 

Flinching out of instinct I rushed to untangle the hoari. It resulted in my touching then I would have deemed appropriate but as soon as I pulled in free he was off me. apparently the sword I had felt earlier was only attached to my leg and had my pant leg pinned. Lucky for me it hadn't cut any flesh, so that was a relief. 

Inosuke had put on his mask again and took the sword that pinned me. "thanks" I said cheerfully, standing to brush the dirt from my uniform. "Just don't get in my way" he replied gruffly. 

I gave him a closed eye smile, bowing slightly. "of course, Inosuke the great has better things to do" I replied. confidence oozed off him as I boosted his ego, steam yet again coming out of the boars nostrils. It made absolutely no sense to me how he did it, but I don't think I really wanted to know. 

Inosuke started to rush out the door, saying something I couldn't quiet understand before the rooms changed once again.

hey, Peaches here! 

I wanted to apologize for not updating sooner, I was busy with my herb and poisons research and got majorly side tracked.

I should be updating more, but it depends now that my school is starting to do online stuff and I need inspiration to really start writing. 

fun fact;

Fugu is a Japanese delicacy that kills several dozen people every year. this delicacy is made from a puffer fish that contains the poison tetradotoxin, a powerful neurotoxin.
