Nijū Go - 25

"Welcome back," Lady Tamayo, as Yushiro call her. We entered the room while I closed the shoji.

My partner Axel was in my haori, his head sticking out, chibi form. I look in front of me to see Tamayo-san treating the woman whom I treated before.

"Is she going to be fine?" I asked as I look at the wounded woman.

"She's fine now. Her husband on the other hand... He's a different case. He's in the basement now." Tamayo explained. I nodded. I looked at her from behind my kitsune mask and so did Tanjiro.

An image flash before my eyes for the second time today.

"......... (Y/n). Take care of yourself." Okaa-san...

My eyes softened as I saw her features were caring like a mother.

"Does it feel uncomfortable healing human wounds?" Tanjiro with his curious @ss asked.

An irk mark grew on my forehead. Yushiro came into action as he punched Tanjiro in the chest. "WE DEMONS MUST ENDURE THE SALIVA BROUGHT BY THE FLESH AND THE SMELL OF BLOOD!"

"Stop. Why must you resort to violence?" Tamayo asked. Even when she's mad, her eyes still held the glint of concern.

She really acts and looks like okaa-san if you ignore the colour.

I lowered my head so I wouldn't need to see her caring face. It reminds me of her too much.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tamayo and this child is Yushiro." She said. I didn't look at her as I nodded in response.

"My name's (Y/n) Ryūsei. My partner here is Axel, he's kind of a hybrid wolf dog. He's my best friend." I said as I reffered to a blepping wolf. "And this is Tanjiro. We're teaming up for this mission."

Tamayo nodded. "And to answer your question, Tanjiro, it does not particularly uncomfortable. I have an easier time with it compared to normal demons. I am, able to manipulate my body at my own will, which is possible for me to remove Kibutsuji's curse as well..." She said as we all sat down at the tatami.

"Manipulate your body?" Tanjiro repeated, confused.

"I can survive without eating human flesh. All I need is to drink one drop of human blood, that's all. But Yushiro is even more impressive. He only needs a minuscule of blood to survive. I was the one who transformed him to a demon." She said.

My head shot up in surprise but then immediately regretted when I saw her face. I hung my head low.

"Eh- It was you?- But- har?" Tanjiro is confused.

"Indeed. People other than Kibutsuji are unable to increase the amount of demons. This is factually correct. However going through over 200 years, the only person that was able to transform into a demon was Yushiro." Tamayo-san said.

I looked at my lap. 'Don't look. Just don't look. And you'll be alright...' I thought.

"EHH???? 200 YEARS? TAMAYO-SAN, EXACTLY HOW OLD ARE YOU??!!!"

Well that's just straight rude. And that's where you get hurt. Again.

"DON'T EVER ASK A LADY'S AGE LIKE THAT YOU UNCOUTH RUFFIAN!!!!" Yushiro yelled as he jabbed Tanjiro's neck.

I bowed as I placed my head on the tatami, during the dogeza. "My deepest apologies, Lady Tamayo. Please excuse my friend. He is known with his bluntness. He had done it to me several... times..." I muttered.

I can sense Tamayo-san shook her head. "I should be the one apologizing. You're our guest. And Yushiro!" She turned to him as I sat up. "I'm not gonna forgive you if you hit him again!" he went back to his seat as if nothing happened.

"Understood!"

Mama's boii

I closed my eyes as I was facing front, listening to Tamayo-san. "I hope you don't misunderstand this one thing. I won't increase the number of demons. But to a person plagued without a disease without a cure and is about to die... this is the only option I can offer them... During that moment, I will definitely ask that person if they want to continuing living as a demon, before continuing." She explained.

I nodded. "I understand.. You gave them a choice, and they choose." I said. She nodded in response. I opened my eyes.

I softly smiled underneath my mask. I removed my mask and gave Tamayo-san a closed eye smile. "You truly are amazing person." I said.

The two boys blushed when they saw my soft side. Then my eyes open in realization as I thought of another demon.

"May I ask a question, Tamayo-san?" She slightly nodded.

"Is.. Is there a way to cure to turn a demon back into a human?" I asked. Tanjiro then snapped his attention to Tamayo-san as he wanted to know the answer to that question.

"A way... to turn a demon... back into human?" Tamayo repeated. I nodded as Tanjiro nodded frantically.

I felt Axel's tail tickling my neck so I look at him from the corner of my eyes. I could see Nezuko stroking his fur. Nezuko and I made eye contact. She smiled at me with anime sparkles around her eyes. She took my hand and placed it on her head. I took the hint and began petting her hair.

I turned my attention back to Tamayo-san, my hand didn't left Nezuko's head. "No matter what kind of sickness it is, there will always be a treatment methods and medicine for it. However, at my current stage, I can't turn demon into a human."

"But you'll try... Right?" I asked. We both made eye contact and her eyes softened.

"Of course. But to make the medicine for treatments, there is a need to investigate a large amount of demon blood. I have two things that I need from you two." She said eyeing me and Tanjiro.

"First, I want to investigate your sister's blood."

"Leave that to Tanjiro. She's his sister. Not mine." I said pointing at Tanjiro with my free hand. Nezuko was still petting Axel as he purred? in amusement.

Tamayo nodded. "Second, do your best to gather as much blood from demons with Kibutsuji's blood coursing through their veins."

Then I zoned out as I continued patting Nezuko's head. It's almost like listening to your favourite teacher but they turned to kuudere mode since they had a bad day.
