Huff~
Finally, Tanjiro was done selling some coals. You supposed it was his charm to make people admire him like an older brother. He was so sweet, and honestly, you felt like he was older. But in terms of age, you didn't know your birthday but knew that you were a few months older than Tanjiro.
Anyway, you two were climbing up the mountain when an old man called out to the both of you, "Tanjirou! (Name)! Why are you ascending the mountain this late? Hurry, get inside..." he eerily said the last part, "...before the demons come out"
Alas, you can't refuse the old man as Tanjiro dragged you by the hand inside his small cozy house. He was Saburo-ojii-san, as you heard Tanjiro say.The old man laid the two futons, and since the village assumed you two were twins, he insisted that you both share.You were so warm~
Tanjiro and Saburo-ojii-san kept talking but you stayed silent as you felt that something...wasn't right...
Before the sun rises, you and your brother waved goodbye to Saburo-ojii-san. The both of you trekked the mountain when suddenly Tanjiro stopped, you peeked at his face and grew concerned.
His face...was pale...His eyes were dilated and he shouted,"The smell of blood!" Your mouth gaped and ran towards your house with Tanjiro. You removed the scarf that covered your eyes and revealed a pair of gorgeous blue and red tinted eyes with hints of gold kissing your iris.
You couldn't believe what you saw when you arrived. Nezuo was outside, covered in blood with him protecting Rokuta. You saw him breathe and was relieved. You grabbed him to get him to the doctors as soon as possible and shouted for Tanjiro's name. You two made eye contact and he understood you, you had to get Nezuo to the doctors quickly. Tanjiro carried him and you two hurried to get down the mountain.
Nezuo, Don't die! Don't die on us! Big sister and Big brother would surely save you, so please hang on for now!
You two were so focused on descending down the mountain that you and Tanjiro didn't notice Nezuo lowly growling. Tanjiro felt it,but it was too late. He slipped and accidentally pulled you down with him. He put his arms around you to cushion your fall, when the snow saved the both of you. But didn't it make you two fall in the first place?
Tanjiro realized that Nezuo wasn't beside him and looked side to side, trying to find his brother. He saw Nezuo standing up with the coat slowly slipping from his shoulders.
"Nezuo..! You don't have to walk! More or less stand! I know it's painful, so let's go down the mountain, alright-?" he was cut off by Nezuo's animalistic growling.
"Nezuo...
what happened to you..?" his head snapped to your direction and his eyes softened, but saw that Tanjiro's arms is around your waist. His mouth opened and you saw canines instead of normal ones. He crouched down, as if he was about to attack. He did, fortunately Tanjiro has a hatchet and stoppped Nezuo from biting him.
You were on the sidelines, unable to comprehend what was happening. A feeling washed over you....deja vú...
Why does this feel familiar?!?
your thoughts was interrupted when you saw Nezuo growing bigger. You hurriedly tied the scarf as a blindfold and tried to help Tanjiro. He was saying something that made Nezuo cry, but then he saw a figure raise a sword. He saved his little brother by strand of a hair.
