Puzzled || Kimetsu No Yaiba • Kamado Tanjiro x OC

The girl gazed upon the edge of the mountain, her legs dangling off the edge as she felt the breeze hit against her skin.
A crow flew by, a letter tied around its neck as it made its way towards the small cabin.

It called out for Urokodaki, its voice being awfully annoying as it insisted on gaining his attention.
The female got up from the edge, walking towards the cabin, guided by the curiosity of the card that was brought. "Is that from Tomioka-Senpai?" She asked, tilting her head as she looked up at the masked man, he nodded paying attention to the wording of the letter.

"Is he coming to visit? What is it about? Is he asking about me? Do you think he remembers me?" The girl started asking in awe, her eyes filled with glee as she anxiously waited for Urokodaki to finish up the letter.
He smiled behind the mask, petting the girl's head as she smiled brightly up at him.
"Seems like he found a new candidate" He informed, a hint of hope now lingering in her thoughts as she beamed from intrigue, her eyes dulling down as she knew what he was talking about.
The whole aura died down a bit as she stared up at Urokodaki, "Are you okay with that, Sensei?" She tilted her head, knowing well his answer as she tried her best to remain composed.

"You're not dense, you know the answer to that already" he hummed in response as he placed the letter on a nearby table. He remained calm, his aura became enchanting as the peaceful thoughts cane back into her mind, "This time, I can help you, Urokodaki-Sensei" The girl clenched her fists as she mumbled to herself reassuring words about what's to come.

Urokodaki had disappeared that same night, embarking on a journey she could only assume was about the new arrival coming soon.
Setting upon herself the mission of making the place a bit more accommodate for him, or her. or them.
She took out a futon, placing it down in an empty area of her room, dusting it out before placing a thick blanket into of it, resisting the urge of not falling on top of it and falling into a deep slumber in those instants.

Her thoughts kept wandering around, a look of determination dancing upon her features as she stared at the path coming from the forest, her eyes never straying away. Anxiety took over her, as she started pacing around playing with her hands as a way of pushing out the worries that would slowly begin to consume her.

The sun rise became apparent after a few hours, the girl now sheltering herself in the safety of her home, yet her eyes still focused on her surroundings, her ears opened up as she awaited her new guest.

The door shuffled open, Urokodaki walking into the house, greeting the girl before letting another figure come in.
The figure took notice of your presence, bowing down as he greeted you, "Sorry for the intrusion" The boy apologized between pants— exhaustion washing over him as he began to relax.

Behind him, he carried a basket covered with a thick cloth, probably trying to block the rays of sunlight from whatever he hid inside.
The female smiled at him, a fake one over that as she sensed something wrong, cautiously eyeing the boy as she observed how he talked with Urokodaki.

Couldn't he perceive his smell though?

"Sensei—" The female finally spoke up, her worry written in bold letters on the peak of her forehead, slightly raising her hand to get his attention before being caught off, "Kioko, this young boy brings his sister with him. Your suspicions are correct. She has become a demon" The trainer explained the situation, the female noticing how the younger male's eyes dulled down a bit, recalling his not so distant memory of what happened that eventful day.

"Beg your pardon for my rudeness" She smiled back, dismissing the thought once more, now walking over to the boy to help him remove the basket from his back, "My name's Kioko Miyazaki. Former pupil of Urokodaki-Sensei" She presented herself, placing the basket down before flashing the boy a smile, "Kamado Tanjiro, pleasure to meet you" the boy returned the gesture of a smile before bowing down once more, "I'll be training under Urokodaki from now on!" He added to his statement, a fierce look replacing his kind features, making the girl chuckle a bit.
