(2nd person, Zenitsu's POV)

"We're sorry my son. But we have to leave you on your own now."

"Please take care of Nozomi and yourself, Zenitsu."

"Oni-chan.... Please wake up. Nozomi, must be in danger."

"Don't give in, My son. Stay alive and strong."

"We're rooting for you."

The voices that he was hearing, was coming from inside of his head. They belonged to his parents and siblings. They were all gone, including the villagers. Zenitsu was still unconscious under the cloudy sky. Even though he wasn't awake, he could hear the surroundings. Could feel the cold breeze.
And....

The scent of Blood.

He woke up, only to find himself in a middle of a forest. He looked at himself. His nails were sharper than before, and his demon fangs.

The black haired boy quickly stood up, upon hearing some light footsteps from behind. He ran forwards then looked behind.
There he saw, a young male, in a uniform, black haori and hair along with a pendant and a ...

Katana.......

The male charged at him once again but he dodged it again.

Who is this guy?
"Why are you attacking me!?"

"Don't pretend like I don't know who you are. You're a Demon." He said bluntly
"W-what?"

A demon? Me? How's that-..... Is that because of that man? What happened yesterday? My family.....where are they?
Zenitsu dropped his knees, staring blankly at him, making the other male surprised.
The uniform guy decided to stop to see his actions.

My whole family, my hometown was killed by that man. His heartbeat, his voice, it haunts me. But now....I am.... A demon?
There's no way!

I will never hurt anyone!

I'll stay strong just like dad told me too!
Tears won't stop coming from his eyes. But still, it wasn't the time for that.

Nozomi...

He has to find her.
He stood up.

"Please listen to me sir!!!" He shouted, making the guy get in a fighting stance.

"What?"
"Have you seen any little girl while you came here?!"
"No, I haven't."

With that, he attacked him once again, but stopped.......

(3rd person, ???'s POV)

He attacked that guy once again. But something stopped him from doing so.

The sun was already out but still.... He wasn't burning away.

How?

The boy with demon eyes staring back at the Turquoise eyes of the male, it seemed like he was pain, something he couldn't stand. It felt like, he was begging for his help. He went on his knees and bowed down, crying.

"I'm begging you. Please don't kill me. My sister, she's in danger. I have to find her."

"Not a single part of me trusts any demon like you."

He looked up.

"Please..... I can't loose her. You can kill me after I find and make sure that she's safe."

The other male was Furious now. He gritted his teeth in anger and pointed his sword towards him.

"STOP PLEADING LIKE A WEAKLING, YOU DIRT!! AREN'T YOU ASHAMED OF YOURSELF?! YOU ARE GIVING YOUR LIFE FOR SOMEONE WHO MUST HAVE ALREADY LEFT THIS WORLD? TALKING ABOUT LIFE, A WEAKLING AND A DAMN DEMON LIKE YOU DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO LIVE!! IF YOU WANTED TO PROTECT HER, THEN WHY DID YOU LEFT HER IN THE FIRST PLACE!??! WHY DID YOU LEFT HER TO SUFFER?!

The boy looked at him in shock and pain. Tears rolling down his cheeks continuously.

I know you're hurting right now. You saw the whole town die infront of you and you turned into a demon, getting seperated from your sister. It hurts I know. But still, I can't let you live. I know you're starving right now, you won't be able to control yourself for a long time. Still, there's something about you that I , still doubt.

How can you even, survive in the sunlight?

I don't know if my decision is right or not, it'll be risky for me but still.....

I'm giving you, an another chance.
He put his sword back in his sheild and walked towards the young male.

"Get up."

Zenitsu looked at him and got up immediately.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Zenitsu... Agatsuma Zenitsu.." Zenitsu answered.

"Head north from here, you'll come across an temple. There will be an old man named Kuwajima Jigoro. Tell him I,

"Kaigaku "
Has sent you. And yes ,you have to survive and control your hunger till you get there. Don't attack any human on your way."

With that, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

(2nd person, Zenitsu's POV)

"......... Don't attack any human."

I won't.....

He got up and headed towards his Town. All the people dead before his eyes. He buried every single one and then went to his house. He took his family photograph with him so that he won't forget them.
Before burying his father's body, he took his earrings and put them on.
He took a scarf and mask to cover his fangs and headed to north, without looking back......

Nozomi
.
.
.
No matter what happens....

Your brother

Is going to save you.

He furrowed his eyebrows and ran forward. Neither less to say, it was just the beginning of his new life.

I thought it would be weird to introduce Giyu to Zenitsu and since he's a thunder breather, I thought, why not make kaigaku a good person.....

Anyways

Now time for a Taisho Era secret!

*Leans in* I've heard that the haori that kaigaku wears belonged to him by his deceased mother!

Once again, I know we don't know if he had parents or not but ya....

Next chapter "In a deep sleep"

Stay tuned!
