Fly (Tanjiro x Kanao)

Chapter 4

"Thank you for helping him, " The girl softly smiled.

Kanao, not knowing much else to do, spoke, "You're Welcome."

She gazed at him warmly, "He settled down when you comforted him."

The girl stepped out of the doorway as she drew nearer, she started looking more and more familiar.

Kanao and the girl's eyes both widened.

Dumbfounded, the girl lightly cocked her head, "You?"

With laser focus, Kanao began taking in the girl's features and comparing it to the girl the other night.

There was an awkward pause before the girl's face lit up with delight.

"It's nice to see you again! I didn't catch your name. I'm Kamado, Nezuko."

Kanao gave her a closed-mouth smile, "I'm sorry, we were not supposed to know each other's names."

Nezuko's cheeks reddened, "Oh. I'm really sorry then, " she bowed.

"TONTARO!"

A boy sped down the hallway before skidding to a stop in front of the nurse's office.

He slammed open the door and started wildly shaking the unconscious boy.

"Kanjiro! You didn't show up to our duel this morning!"

As Nezuko was about to stop him, a hand shot out with the exact amount of force needed to push him away without hurting him.

"I'm sorry, I was ordered to watch over this boy. I will not let you harm him while he is under my care."

Kanao withdrew her hand, smiling inanimately.

"Tanjiro! You bastard, you were supposed to help me with my math this morning!"

Another boy slid open the door, opening his mouth to rant before spotting Kanao and Nezuko.

Nezuko blinked, "Isn't Tanjiro in the grade below you, Zenitsu?"

Zenitsu turned to dust on the spot.

The other boy started shouting at Kanao, "Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do!"

He started reaching for the red-haired boy's unconscious body before getting his hand slapped away by Kanao with more force this time.

"I'm sorry."

He got even more furious, rapidly trying to reach him even more so, but getting hit away by Kanao every time.

"I'm sorry."

An airy hand landed on his shoulder, "Inosuke, please don't touch him while he's resting."

Nezuko, armed with her peaceful aura and delicate smile, forced Inosuke to back down.

Inosuke huffed and puffed angrily, "This isn't over!" He pointed an outraged finger at Kanao before running out of the room.

Kanao smiled contently.

Nezuko eagerly wanted to bombard Kanao with questions, but she restrained herself to only asking one at a time.

"Thank you for helping him, so what-"

A voice cut her off, "Is that you my dear sweet Nezuko~?" Zenitsu, having recovered from the embarrassment, waddled up to them.

"Hello, Zenitsu, " Nezuko waved.

"Marry me, Nezuko, " Zenitsu floated over to her, pressing his fingers together.
