"Don't worry Nezuko-chan, I'll protect you." Zenitsu posed, making me chuckle.
"Do you also want half of the onigiri?" Nezuko asked, reaching the half she gave to Zenistu at some point. "That reminds me Zenistu, you got to take care of your sparrow." I look towards Zenistu who was giving me a puzzled face before continuing. "He's saying how you're always complaining and not wanting to go to work, and you're always hitting on girls, and that you snore so loud, and he's had it! That's what he was saying." I finish, holding up his disinterested sparrow.
"You can understand sparrows?! You're not lying, are you!? You're just tricking me!" Zenistu said, pointing his finger and accusing me.
"Run, Run!! Nezuko, Zenistu, Tanjiro, run!" The crow said quickly soaring forward.
"Huh, my name too? Well, I guess we should run!" I say, already on a quick jog, soon racing Nezuko and barely catching up Zenistu.
I found it amusing how the crow led to where I was going anyways. There was the stink smell of that guy I forgot the name of. Wait, where did I smell him before? De javu over here, I don't remember anyone of this sent though. But also the smell of marechi that I started smelling on the way here...
-3 POV-
Nezuko looked at the 2 distracted boys, slightly confused on what was going on. She turned her head to the right and noticed kids in the shade, whimpering. She started comforting the kids, gaining Zenistu's noticment, but Tanjiro still seemed out of focus.
"Does nobody hear this sound? Creepy, eerie sound, like a tsuzumi?" When Zenistu said that, they all began to hear it. Slow and steady at first, quickly getting faster and faster.
"Cover the kids eyes!" Tanjiro suddenly yelled while running, making everyone jump. At that exact moment, a body of a man flew out of the house, barely being caught by Tanjiro. "Keep their eyes closed." Tanjiro warned, puzzling Nezuko. The man kept muttering he was free, until Tanjiro quickly and cleanly slit his throat.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?" Nezuko screamed, now showing the kids still not opening their eyes because of fear.
"With all his blood loss, you honestly believed he would make it? Let alone be treated correctly? That's just called a slow and painful death." Tanjiro replied, closing the man's eye. "We should get going, or else their brother will also end up dead."
"Was that not their brother?" Zenistu asked, confused.
"Were lucky it's not." Tanjiro said, walking into the house without waiting
