I am about to shit myself

{third POV}

"Ooo what style of breathing do you use?! Can I try to learn it!" Tanjiro beamed, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the bore headed male. All Tanjiro saw at that moment was the chance to have a new friend.

"Hah?! Fight me I'll bring you down!" The male roared, propelling himself at Tanjiro whom dodged his attack with ease. The boy pouted and continued to effortlessly dodge all the attacks till Inosuke was absolutely exhausted.

"Stop moving so fast!" Inosuke panted, pushing himself off the floor.

"Awww it's sweet how hard you try!" Tanjiro gushed, bending down at to look him through the beaded eyes of his mask.

This action alone absolutely infuriated Inosuke, making him blow out a puff of steam as he jumped off the floor and thrusted his swords towards Tanjiro's legs.

Howeve Tanjiro simply jumped into the air and landed on his back, making Inosuke crash to the ground in a tired heap. Just then, Sunny angrily buzzed out of Tanjiro's pocket and began to peck at the male's exposed skin.

Tanjiro laughed at his overprotective bird and confined to stand atop Inosuke's back; pinning him to the floor.

"GWAHH! Get off me! I'll eat you!" Inosuke roared, flailing his arms in the air to try and get rid of Sunny.

Now it was Tanjiro's turn to be pissed off. Yes Inosuke could attack him, but Tanjiro wouldn't tolerate someone trying to attack Sunny.

As a result, Tanjiro knocked the male out and slung him over his shoulder while following his nose towards the scent of the children's brother.

It didn't take him long to find the boy whom was changing the rooms around, he supposedly had marechi blood that's why he was taken.

"Hey don't worry your safe now!" Tanjiro beamed, outstretching his hand towards the terrified boy. For some reason though he looked even more scared and backed up a little into the corner.

A look of realisation swept across Tanjiro's and made him giggle "oh don't worry about him! He just passed out..." Tanjiro chuckled, pointing towards the body slung over his shoulder.

"I'll bring you to your siblings now ok?" He whispered comfortingly, making the boy's fear disappear momentarily as he crept forward.

"There we go! I'm not that scary!" Tanjiro smiled, pulling him through the halls and eventually out into the open.

"Hey Mui-chan! Look I found, it's a while bore!" Tanjiro beamed, smiling softly at the sight of the pillar sitting with the two siblings while they played with fluffy.

"Nii-chan!" They both yelled, running up to the older brother of whom Tanjiro had just saved and engulfing him in a hug while Tanjiro skipped over to Muichiro.

"Has the yellow one come out yet?" Tanjiro asked, picking up fluffy from the floor and dusting him off with a light pout "oh he fell like a couple feet onto his head, I'm sure he's fine though" Muichiro mumbled, pointing towards Zenitsu who was laying unconscious on the floor with a slightly bleeding head.

"Oh alright then!" He giggled, dismissing the unconscious boy already "we should have wild bore for dinner tonight Mui-chan" he chuckled, plopping Inosuke's body on the floor and pointing his sword at the mask.

"He looks strange... I don't like him" Muichiro said with his eyes narrowed, poking him with his foot.

"He tried to hurt Sunny so I knocked him out, I suppose we can't just leave him though" Tanjiro sighed, almost jumping out of his skin when a certain someone started screaming.

"WAAAHHH I BLEEDING TANJIRO AM I GUNNA DIE?! THERES BLOOD IM GUNNA DIE-"

"Shut up, your not gunna die idiot. It's just a light concussion" Muichiro grumbled, chucking yet another rock in the middle of Zenitsu's forehead.

"WHY'S THERE A CREEPY BORE MAN!" he cried once again, hiding behind the three siblings.

Tanjiro sighed and draped his checkered hatori over the bare chested male and began digging a few graves for the bodies he found till Inosuke woke up.

———————-

"HUH?! WHERE THE HELL AM I, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME! FIGHT ME NOW" Inosuke woke up screaming as usual, his mask still over his face as he chucked Tanjiro's clothing onto the floor and interrupted everyone while praying next to the freshly dug graves.

"Why are these two so loud" Muichiro growled to Tanjiro, earning a chuckle from the boy.

Tanjiro stood up calmly and walked over to Inosuke, grabbing him gently by the shoulders while smiling.

Without warning, Tanjiro delivered a rock hard head but on the slayer's forehead, sending him scattering backwards while Tanjiro stood there unscathed.

"That'll fix your screaming" Tanjiro giggled, watching his mask fall to the floor.

"HAHH?! ITS A GIRL!" Zenitsu screamed, pointing towards the rather delirious Inosuke with blood seeping down his forehead "do you have any complaints about my face idiot?!" Inosuke growled, bright emerald green eyes shining menacingly as his hair delicately fell around his shoulders.

"Wow your so pretty!" Tanjiro beamed, he always had a soft spot when it came to something particularly cute or pretty.

Prancing up to the slayer, Tanjiro began to gently stroke Inosuke's long hair and squish his cheeks while smiling brightly. The male went completely red and slapped his hands away "DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH"

"I think you should put that mask back on" Muichiro growled from behind them, he always received a lot of affection from Tanjiro simply because he was 'cute' or 'adorable' as Tanjiro called him. Now that there was someone else who had a relatively similar appearance to him, Muichiro was rather irritated.

Inosuke whipped his head around towards the mist pillar "WHO ARE YOU TO TALK HAH?! I BET YOUR WEAK ANYWAYS!"

In a split second, Muichiro darted off the floor and unsheathed his sword; grabbing both Inosuke's wrists in his hands while pressing his sword on his throat "wanna say that again bore?"

Tanjiro sighed while looking at the three.

'This is gunna be a long day'

——————————-

"You can stay here as long as you like till your rested slayers" a kind woman smiled, showing the four to their rooms.

Tanjiro grinned and sat next to Muichiro as a delicious meal suddenly appeared in their room, making most of them drool at the sight.

"Thank you mam!" He smiled, shovelling food in his mouth like a small child "Tanjiro slow down or you'll choke" Muichiro softly stated, placing his hand atop the others.

Muichiro was always looking after Tanjiro in one way or another. Wether he was eating too quickly or if he simply forgot to wear his uniform. Tanjiro was like a disorganised child whom most of the hashira constantly cared for, and Tanjiro was quite happy with this behaviour if he's honest.

Zenitsu looked at the two and narrowed his eyes "are you too dating?" He asked, eating his own food calmly.

"HAH! MINE NOW!" Inosuke yelled over Zenitsu so his voice couldn't be heard, snatching a bowl of rice from Tanjiro's tray in order to anger him.

"Would you like some more?" He asked, sending the male a devilish smirk which made Inosuke even more angry as he ate his food in silence.

"If you hand me your dirty clothes I'll wash them for you slayers" the woman spoke softly, outstretching her arms while they piled their messy uniforms ok the small woman as he walked away without fault, quite easily carrying the large pile of clothes.

"IM TAKING THIS MAT!" Inosuke once again yelled, throwing himself on the mat Tanjiro was just about to lie on.

Before he could speak up, Muichiro cut in "ok? You want a fucking cookie or something?" He hissed, grabbing Tanjiro's hand and pulling him to a mat by the window which was secluded from all the others; except Muichiro's own mat of corse.

It didn't take long for the three to fall asleep, leaving only Tanjiro awake while staring at the window.

He lit up when a sharp scrape was heard on the window. Just like when he was staying in the same place years ago with Giyuu, Makomo and Sabito.

He crept out of the house and was greeted with none other than Kokushibo; the upper moon one.

"Kokushibo-san!" Tanjiro whispered happily, hugging the demon's waist tightly. The upper moon smiled fondly at the gesture and gently pried the boy off him.

"Tanjiro your dad wants to see you now" he whispered back, placing his hands on Tanjiro's shoulders as a way of telling him it was urgent.

"I have to be back by the morning though..." Tanjiro sighed, staring up at the demon with pleading eyes.

"That doesn't matter now, you need to go" Kokushibo urged, a small portal leading to the infinity fortress as he gently pushed Tanjiro through.

"W-wait let me just get fluffy firs-" his words were cut off when the portal closed, leaving an empty garden as both of them disappeared.
