"Oi, stop wasting my time and get that demon already!" Inosuke snapped as he was sitting on the edge of the building with a knee propped up as he looked towards the opposite building. He noticed how Zenitsu and his team were patrolling as well, but Inosuke and his team were sent on a mission to get rid of the demon who had been terrorizing the city.

"Hai, Inosuke-sama!" and Inosuke clicked his tongue in response as his team hopped off the building with ease and proceeded to disappear from his sight. He let out a sigh then as he laid down with his back touching the floor of the roof as he looked up to the clear night sky that was full of stars.

He slowly lifted his hand and looked at the silver band on his ring finger, and his lips pressed into a fine thin line, slowly curling up into a smile as he started to reminiscent about how he and [name] had met back then.

Shaking his head a little as he soon noticed the yellow hair that was fluttering before his eyes and he tilts his head up a little more as if using his head to support himself as he looked

"Yo," he mumbled out and Zenitsu let out a sigh as he settled down next to Inosuke. He then crossed his legs as he tilts his head up as well, and he could only softly chuckle.

"You changed so much. Even the sound you make has mellow down," Zenitsu spoke out and Inosuke sat up, grunting in response to what his high school friend had said. They eventually heard footsteps and they turned to look, only to let out a soft sigh as the Sun Hashira arrived as well, taking a seat in between them.

"Feels like old times. Years have passed ever since we sat like this in peace," Tanjiro spoke out as he handed them the paper bags since he had took the liberty to get some meat buns for them as they were waiting for their teams to complete their missions.

"Yeah," the duo mumbled out, remembering how each of them graduated from high school and went to work as full-time demon slayers due to various reasons, and hence, meeting the love of their lives. Or rather, only for Inosuke.

As he met [name] when he first joined the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Wahh! Shinazugawa-san, that hurts!" and Inosuke's ears perked up at the voice, with curiosity getting the better of him, he poked his head out from behind the wall as he was in the basement where the training grounds were.

His green eyes laid upon the Wind Hashira who was known for his violent temper, and then a young girl with platinum violet hair, squatting down with her knees together as she clutched her head.

"Har?! That's painful?! Man, if you go out on a mission like this, Himejima is going to start worrying nonstop!" Sanemi spat out as he squats down and placed the bamboo sword down, reaching out as he patted her on the head.

Only for her to look up and turned. Her electric blue eyes laid upon Inosuke, whose green eyes widened at how her pink-tinted lips curled up into a smile. He watched as she stood up, ignoring the fact that she was training with the Wind Hashira.

"Hello! You are new here, right? Come! I'll give you a gift!" [name] spoke out and Inosuke stood there dumbfounded as [name] turned to walk towards her training bag and rummaged through it, only to bring out her lunch box and she walked over to him.

"Here! Try it! You will love it! Even Iguro-san loves it too!" she spoke out and Inosuke's eyes could only widen at how much [name] was smiling at him.

"Oi! Get back to training!"

"Hai!" and Inosuke watched as [name] ran back to where the Wind Hashira was and he could only clutch the lunch box in his hands tightly.

"I think Inosuke's team is having trouble,"

"Har?!" Inosuke spat out when he heard what Tanjiro had just said and an irk mark appeared on his forehead as he stood up with a menacing glare on his face.
