"Nemi, please, stop!"

Those words rang through Sanemi's ears as his pale purple eyes widened. He turned and looked at [name] who was grabbing hold of his arm tightly, despite trembling slightly. He quickly dropped his nichirin blade as he placed his two rough hands on either side [name]'s face.

"I stopped, I stopped. Calm down," he whispered out and watched as [name]'s body slowly stopped trembling. She then proceeded to grip onto his uniform, and her younger sister was reciting to Oyakata-sama on what had just happened.

"Please help to assist [name]-nee-san back to her estate to rest," her younger sister spoke out and a kakushi came and quickly picked [name] up even though she was protesting. Sanemi then watched as [name] was thrashing about in the kakushi's hold.

He could feel his heartache as he remembered how she had looked at him with those terrified signals of her body trembling. Sanemi then sighed as he soon squats in front of Nezuko who now looked utterly confused at what was happening, and watched as Sanemi was gripping his hair tightly.

"Sanemi, we must continue the meeting first,"

The meeting soon came to an end with Tanjiro and Nezuko being escorted to the Butterfly Estate. The moment Oyakata-sama left, Sanemi was seen jumping down from the patio and took off running.

The Hashiras could only look with a sad smile on his face. After all, Sanemi's actions will affect [name] terribly no matter what. Given how she had acted earlier on.

"I'm surprised Oyakata-sama didn't chide Sanemi for hurting [name] in such a manner," Sabito spoke out only to have Makomo slapping him on the back of his head.

"Are you cursing his luck right now, Sabito?" she asked with a smile on her face as her eyes were shut. The Hashiras could only then wonder, what is happening with [name] right now, given that she was carried away without a second thought.

Sanemi ran as fast as he could. He could feel his heart pounding hard against his chest. The image of [name] looking scared etched in his mind as he ran up the path where it would lead him to the estate he resided in with [name]. He quickly entered the estate and slammed open the door as he watched [name] was throwing random stuff at the kakushi who was trying to calm her down.

He then motioned for the kakushi to take his leave and he quickly did after bowing and saying goodbye to [name]. Sanemi then slowly entered the room as [name] was still clutching her head tightly.

"[name]-sama?"  he whispered out and watched as [name] slowly lifted her head up and looked at Sanemi with her pair of lavender eyes. He slowly stretched his arms out and [name] immediately plopped herself into his arms as he hugged her tightly then.

"I apologize, [name]-sama," he whispered out.

"No... I... I felt so much pain when Obanai held Tanjiro down in such a manner. I felt so much pain coming from Nezuko when she was trying her best to resist your blood. It got mixed up with my emotions, I got so scared because I didn't know whose emotions were whose at the start. It was so scary..." she mumbled out, and Sanemi sat down as he continued to hug [name] tightly.
