"Seikowa! Seikowa! Look at this look!" A young teen, no older than 12 yelled running up to a small 5 year old girl.

"What is it Kato?" The girl said turning around to see what the older boy had wanted her to see.

"Look at this flower, isn't it pretty?" Kato asked holding out the flower to Seikowa.

"Wow, it's really pretty." Seikowa said taking the flower from him pulling his head down by tugging his sleeve. "I told you to call me Zetsuko." Zetsuko muttered putting the flower behind his ear.

"I would but your name..." Kato murmured with a stern look on his face.

"No buts Kato! Whatever it is doesn't matter! Call me Zetsuko!" Zetsuko exclaimed chopping him lightly on the head.

"O-Oh, okay then, only if you want me too though." Kato said with a thin smile forming on his face. "Let's look for some more flowers Sei- Zetsuko." Kato murmured taking her hand while pulling her away from the forest to a large patch of long grass filled with different plants and bright sunlight shining down on it.

"You always take me away from the forest, wonder what's in there..."

"What was that Zetsuko?"

"Oh nothing Kato!"

——

"Ouch!" Zetsuko yelped in a low whisper as her foot stepped on a somewhat sharp rock whilst climbing out of her window. Although her room was on the closest level to the ground level, her stature was much weaker then the average child as all of the children in the family had been born typically weaker than the average person. Luckily she had now been doing this for 2 years.

Placing her foot into a new spot, she let go of the rim of the window dropping onto the ground with a silent thud. As the moon shone onto the forest behind her home, she ran down the small hill her home was perched on.

"Moon! Look at this! Look!" Zetsuko yelled holding up a small doll. "Kato gave me a doll!"

"That's nice darling, is your foot okay?"

"Huh? How'd you know that moon?"

"Oh, I smelt a bit of blood on your foot, it's not very strong so I'm sure you'll be okay."

"Oh wow! That's so cool moon, can you teach me how to do that?" Zetsuko asked with a grin.

(Lmao I just realized that Zetsuko is Nezuko and Zenitsu basically combined with extra letters)

"Oh really darling?" The girl called Moon asked holding a hand over her mouth hiding the mad smile she had. "What for?"

"I really want to be able to do something like all the cool things you've done so that way I can help Kato one day." Zetsuko replied with a blush.

"That sounds wonderful darling. How about you go back home for the night so you can bandage up that foot before anybody notices and you come back tomorrow?" Moon said with a smile.

"Okay Moon, but you have to promise that I can do cool things like you someday so I can help Kato!" Zetsuko explained holding out her pinky.

"Pinky swear." Moon said as the connected their hands with their pinky's and shook on it.
