"Now listen to me! Here's the deal... My point is this, okay? It's not about the money! What I can't forgive is your lack of intent to eat my udon, all right?!" As always, you were too pent up to take this baldy seriously. You just wanted food to regain your lost energy and you were going to make sure it would end up being replenished one way or another.

"I'm so sorry! Please serve us two another bowl!" Tanjiro apologized to the man who rebuked you two nonstop. You kept your mouth shut, not wanting to actually tire yourself up by speaking to this dude who blurted triviality. "So you two are gonna eat it?" The baldy asked, and Tanjiro went to answer for you two.

"You two are definitely going to eat it?!"

"Yes, we shall!" Tanjiro shouted with the same enthusiasm. You didn't really care, since as long as you got the food, you'll be more than satisified.

"You too! If you're gonna eat udon, take of that bamboo thingie first!" And that's when you snapped back into reality the moment you realized he was pertaining to Nezuko who just sat there idly, watching the whole spectacle. 

He was about to take of Nezuko's muzzle when you butted in, halting his actions by grabbing his wrists. "I'd eat the two bowls of udon! Including hers!" Who knew that protecting Nezuko was enough to bring you back into action. "O-Okay," the baldy stuttered, still shocked with your sudden barging.

Tanjiro just looked at you with grateful eyes, thankful since you stepped in just in time to make sure that that man wouldn't remove the thing that was on Nezuko's lips. You slurped and slurped the noodles, quick enough that you'd finish it without taking half an hour, but slow enough that you wouldn't choke on it. As you ate, rationality slowly seeped itself into you. Now feeling slightly reinvigorated, your mind remembered how you acted during your meeting with Muzan.

A certain thought struck you, causing you to stop eating, well, it was the last noodle anyway. 'Don't tell me... I'm becoming like Bakugou?!' Well, ain't that horrific. Just imagining yourself behaving like him gave you the shivers. Gosh, that'd be the worst case scenario if that were to actually be the case.

"Thanks for the meal," you said right after Tanjiro. How the hell can a small boy such as him eat that quick as if he was vacuuming up all the food- 

Finally done with eating, the owner yelled out once more, "As long as you get it, it's all good! Thanks for your business!" You could just feel your eardrums bursting just from the sheer intensity of that man's loud voice. 

"Sorry about that Nezuko," Tanjiro started. You quickly followed his words with your own ones, "Yeah. Leaving you behind like that is such a douchebag move." Rubbing the back of your neck sheepishly, you said your sorry's to the female.

She abruptly stopped, and now, you and Tanjiro were now cautious because of that. "Nezuko?" You called out her name, in hopes that she's point out whatever it is that made her cease her walking. You turned your neck to look at what she was glaring at, and you recognized him to be the one who was beside that enthralling woman.

"What's your business here?" You stepped up and stretched your hands out in a way to protect Nezuko if ever this male was planning something wicked. "I was told to bring you to see her," replied by him. His voice... sounded similar. It was akin to a dear friend of yours who you realized just now that actually missed so much. Along with your other friends that you left behind..

Without being conscious of your actions, you sauntered towards him, Tanjiro watching in closely just in case. "Mido... riya..." You trailed off, using your index and your thumb to tip his chin upwards. Now that you had the chance to look at him closer than before, it was funny how he had the same shade of hair as your other friend.
