/N)'s POV]
It was a beautiful day, the birds were chirping and the flowers were blooming. Do you know what else is so exciting? It's the meal that Miko-san cooked for me! (F/F)! The scent of it made me wake up abruptly and hurriedly changed my black kimono. I brushed my hair and smoothed it up, tying it up into a bun. I probably look like Miko-san's granddaughter...
Anyway, it's been a year since I saw Tan-tan and Nezuo. I miss them, and I hope I'll see them again... Then again, I have changed a bit. I was acting like what Miko-san expected me to be, someone that holds strength with pride. But, as they always say, with great power comes great responsibilty. I became arrogant, and controlling, but not that hungry for power like demons do.
I wonder what's happening to Tan-tan though...
[Tanjiro's POV]
I just have to wait patiently, and then she'll hug me while saying she missed me. I...just have to pass Urokodaki-san's test... I have to do it! or else Nezuo isn't going to be cured, and I won't have enough strength to protect (Y/N). The only thing hindering me from this process is this boulder. My hair grew out and I didn't bother cutting it, I would want her soft hands to caress my strands of hair as she cut it.
I shook my head and focused on this task. It has been a few days since Urokodaki-san left me here, and Nezuo falling asleep so suddenly... I was beginning to feel frustrated and I began to shout, "I NEED TO WORK HARDER! WORK HARDER!" Tears leaked from my eyes and I banged my forehead against the boulder, when suddenly, a voice interrupted me. "SHUT UP!!!" they said, their voice was rough and I'm assuming that they are a he. I looked up and was shocked to see that he was there. He continued, "Such a shameful display of a man shouting nonsense." He was wearing a fox mask, and his salmon-colored hair was very distinguishable. Who is this ? He...had no smell, and I didn't hear him approaching! He stood up and walked on thin air. wait, what-?! I was on alert but I listened to his words to be respectful, "No matter how difficult and painful it may be, you shut your mouth and deal with it." He then suddenly attacked me with a wooden sword. I blocked it, but he quickly kicked me in the chest. I stumbled and I struggled to get up, "Guh..." I groaned and looked at him with one eye. He stood there with tall and proud, "Slow, Weak, Rusty, your state is not a man by any defintion" he spat out.
[(Y/N)'s POV]
I feel like....something is going to happen...
