"H-Hey.. are you okay?" a gentle hand on your shoulder quickly broke you out of your moment of self-awareness. Looking up at the person who spoke, you realized it was Zenitsu, who looked at you with a concerned look in his warm eyes.

Dusting off the dirt that had accumulated on your clothing, you briefly stood up. Recognizing the phrase "daijobudesuka" from your frequent anime binge-watching, you answered with a timid nod. Still feeling out of it, you took a deep breath and tried to compose yourself.

"What happened to Inosuke?" you asked, looking at Zenitsu.

Recognizing the name you said, he made a guess as his expression became one of irritation, pointing over to the very beautiful guy laying down with Tanjiro and Zenitsu's haoris covering him, seemingly dead. Although he seemed quite dead, you knew he was just knocked out. But at the beginning of the anime, he sure was irritating. Maybe you wouldn't mind if he was asleep for awhile longer.

"Damn, it's the looking gorgeous even while sleeping for me."

"Eh?" Zenitsu looked over at you, confused.

You just laughed.

"Hey guys," Tanjiro approached, "I think we should bury the deceased ones here, right? to be respectful.."

Zenitsu sighed, but nodded to whatever he said as you stood there unaware of what was happening. The blond boy just grabbed your hand, leading you over to a spot where the corpse of a dead man lay. You visibly cringed, although you knew of the dead body in the first place, it was weird to see in person.

Seeing the very happy expression on Zenitsu's face, (along with the prominent blush), you realized that he was holding your hand. Quickly swiping it away, you scowled at the unexpected contact.

Sighing happily at the fact he got to touch a girl, (a pretty one too!) he mindlessly skipped to the body while Tanjiro retrieved the others. You stood there kinda awkwardly, before following Zenitsu and the small children to help prepare the body for burial. It was surprising that the children didn't seem all that bothered, but you supposed that living in this world accustomed you to spontaneous death.

Tanjiro returned from the mansion with a few bodies he carried on his back, and you went to try and help carry one, trying to signal him to give you one. You pointed at the lifeless body on his left shoulder, and then pointed to your arms and made a cradling motion. His mouth made and 'O' shape, handing you the lighter body with a soft smile, thankful for the help.

While you and the kids buried the bodies, a soft groaning noise could be heard, and before you could even think about it, Inosuke screeched at the top of his lungs while he leapt to his feet.

"Uwahh! He's awake!" Zenitsu cried.

"Let's fight!"

"You're going to fight the moment you wake up?! I really can't deal with this!" The whiny boy screamed while running away from Inosuke, who was charging at him.

While Zenitsu hid behind the little girl who couldn't remember the name of, you and Tanjiro stood there awkwardly around the buried ones. (If you had to compare what your stance looked like, it had to be like that one photo of Shane Dawson standing. Exactly like that. You know the one.)

Inosuke stood there for a moment, and you could practically see the gears in his head turning while he tried to figure out what was happening, "what are you guys doing?!"

"Burying the dead, of course," Tanjiro blinked, "Inosuke, you should come and help too. There was a bunch of people killed in that house."

The boar headed guy yelled out loud, "It's pointless to bury the remains of living organisms! Compared to that, how about you fight me?!"

Man, while you did sympathize with Inosuke and his backstory, he sure did get annoying sometimes. In your world, he probably would've been arrested for attempted assault by now.

Tanjiro's eyebrows furrowed with pity, "Is that so.. It's because your wounds still hurt, that you're unwilling to help, right?"

Snorting, you used your hand to cover your mouth while laughing. Inosuke may have been annoying as shit, the look on his face made up for it, and you were tempted to take out your phone to snap a photo. It was a thousand times better seeing it in real life, rather than on a screen. Tanjiro just sent you a confused glance.

"Hah?"

"It's okay! Everybody has different levels of pain tolerance."

You learned two things in this moment.

1. Tanjiro was too kind (and a dense) for his own good.

2. Inosuke could be a Tik Tokker with how pretty (and extra) he is. He'd probably have dedicated fan pages and everything.
