"U-uhh Guys, we have a problem!"

Tanjiro heard Zenitsu shout from the other room. He was brushing Nezuko's hair when he saw Zenitsu walk, holding up a mini version of Sachiko at arms length.

Tanjiro's jaw dropped. Inosuke just scoffed and turned his attention back to his pig mask (hat?).
Nezuko hummed in delight, standing up and taking hold of Sachiko, who was confused.

"W-What happened Zenitsu?.."

"I DON'T KNOW, I was just petting her hair and then she shrunk to this size, and now she's-"

He points to Sachiko, who is currently being nuzzled on the cheek by Nezuko,

"THAT!"

Tanjiro sighed.

It must've been that demon we just faced...

~Flashback to a few days earlier~

"Sachiko, watch out!"

She turned her head to see the demon plunge his claw into her neck, her whimpering in response.

The demon laughed, his claw transfering some poison into her neck.

"In a few hours, her cells would have decayed to the point where she's immobilized! HA-"

His sentence was cut off when Inosuke appeared behind him and sliced his head off.

Sachiko winced, her hand covering her wound. Tanjiro approached her and removed her hand gently, inspecting the injury.

It seems to be healing by itself.. I'll have to take her to Tamayo~sama quick!

Tanjiro paced in one spot while Nezuko was sleeping in the box. Tamayo was currently trying to remove the poison from Sachiko's neck.

He could hear a few whimpers here and there, until it went silent. His attention was drawn to the now opened door, revealing Yushiro.

"You can come in now, but be quiet. She's resting."

Tanjiro sighed in relief, nodding and following Yushiro into the room. His gaze laid upon Sachiko.

She was asleep, laying on her side as she curled up against the futon she was sleeping in. Her face showed peace and calm, showing no signs of tension or stress.

"Is she alright?"

Tamayo smiled while patting Sachiko on the head.

"Yes she'll be fine. But..."

Tanjiro gulped.

Don't tell me something bad is slowly killing her.. Is she gonna die soon? Has her chances of staying alive reduce even more?!

"Since I wasn't able to get all of the poison, something may happen to her a few days prior to today."

Tanjiro almost dropped to his knees until Tamayo spoke again.

"Don't worry though Tanjiro, she won't die."

He sighed of relief, walking over to Sachiko and patting her on the head.

~Back to the Present~

"WHATT!?!?!"

Tanjiro's face scrunched up in annoyance after Zenitsu literally shouted in his face.

Sachiko started humming in delight, Nezuko carrying her like she would carry Rokuta. Tanjiro smiled at the scene.

Zenitsu was rambling for 5 minutes until he realized that Tanjiro wasn't listening to him at all.
