My cat fell out of my window and deadass died for a moment before he jumped up and walked away like nothing ever happened

"Hm? Sorry conductor it's seems I've lost my ticket! Do you think you could let me off this one time?" Tanjiro smiled, giving the sleep deprived looking man puppy dog eyes. Tanjiro held the ticket underneath his chair, subtly crumpling it up and shoving it in his pocket.

The man groaned before dismissing the boy and putting a hole though everyone else's tickets, leaving sluggishly while dragging his limbs.

"You lost your ticket my boy?" Rengoku asked while crossing his arms, looking Tanjiro's guilty face.

Tanjiro quickly nodded his head "y-yeah sorry Rengoku-san..."

"There's no need to be sad! It's just a mistake everyone makes them it's no problem!" Rengoku quickly corrected when he saw Tanjiro had become a little sad.

He brightened up and hugged the male "Rengoku-san you're so cool!" Tanjiro gushed, making the pillar's face slightly red.

He was about to respond when several people started to scream, a demon with king arms making its way though their cart and reaching for passengers.

Rengoku spring off his chair and unsheathed his sword, Tanjiro standing to the side and clapping with amusement.

"Was ur a blood demon art which masked this massive body of yours?! My bright red blade will cut off your neck!" Rengoku exclaimed dramatically, making Tanjiro giggle as he watched.

Inosuke and Zenitsu stared at the flame pillar with wide eyes, admiring how he killed it flawlessly.

Rengoku put away his sword and looked at the two slayers "he on the watch for demon's! They could appear anywhere!"

Inosuke nodded his head violently "well done Rengoku-san! Your form was perfect!" Tanjiro encouraged. It wasn't uncommon to receive praise from the boy, and everyone liked it when he complimented them on their sword skills as well.

Since Tanjiro was sort of admired for his power, everyone took note of when he encouraged them while watching; taking it as a good sighn that they were improving.

What they didn't know however was that Tanjiro simply spent so much time watching them to gather info on how they fought; he couldn't let down his father after all.

Of corse he felt guilty. He couldn't stop that feeling, they were his friends after all.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stamp one of the hashira's tickets... he claimed to have lost it..." the man bowed with his head to the floor, weak body trembling before Enmu's hand.

"My my~ that certainly it unsatisfactory..." the hand spoke, licking its teeth sinisterly.

"C-can I still have a happy dream?" The man shook, never straying his eyes from the floor.

"Hmm... before you do, tell me what this slayer that lost his ticket looked like?" The hand questioned, pacing back and forth.

"H-he had long burgundy hair and wore hanafuda earrings... he wielded a golden sword and had a green stuffed rab-"

"Stop, that's enough... sleep well" the hand cut off, making the man's body drop to the floor lifelessly.

"Tanjiro Tanjiro, why do you come to visit me at the most difficult of times."

————————————-

"Excuse me while I go to the bathroom" Tanjiro smiled and shuffled out of his seat, noticing everyone's elegies becoming heavier.

"C...come back soon my boy" Rengoku mumbled and slumped his head to the side, Zenitsu and Inosuke already snoring on each other as the boy slipped away from the cabin.

'Yayyy! I get to see Enmu-san! I didn't know he was the demon on the train, I didn't even smell him!' Tanjiro thought with a giggle, opening the door between the intersection of the carts and jumping onto the roof.

"ENMU-SAN!" Tanjiro immediately spotted the demon standing in the wind, right at the front of the train. He turned around with a soft smile "well if it isn't my favourite little sunshine" Enmu opened his arms as an indication.

Tanjiro beamed at the familiar nickname and ran into his arms, nuzzling his face into Enmu's familiar comforting scent. Tanjiro had always spent a lot of time with Enmu at the same time as Rui, since they were both lower moons after all; Enmu was also one of Muzan's favourites so he allowed him more time with Tanjiro.

"Your hair is as soft as ever!" Enmu gushed, threading his hand through his burgundy locks.

Tanjiro smiled and pulled away "awe you've still got fluffy I see" the lower moon grinned, bending down a little to Tanjiro's height.

"Mhm! Soo Enmu-san what're you doing on the train? Are you going somewhere?" Tanjiro beamed, his nose a light pink as he gave his toy a squeeze.

Enmu stiffened a little at the question.

"You're so silly Enmu-san! You could've just asked Nakime to teleport you where you wanted! It would've been so much easier, you know there's less chance of the demon slayers finding you then" Tanjiro giggled in delight, worried for his friend.

"Ahh... sunshine you're still pure as ever" Enmu deadpanned, patting the now confused boy on the head.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Tanjiro wondered, his head tilted to the side.

Enmu sighed "Tanjiro you know I've got to get stronger, your dad wants me to kill those friends for yours"

Tanjiro's eyes widened "y-you can't kill them... I'll make sure they don't hurt you I promise!" He yelled, fists clenched.

"You should just lay low for a little while ok?" Enmu smiled, trying to pat Tanjiro's hair again; however the boy pushed it away with a frown "you can't hurt them! Please Enmu-san! They're really nice, I'll make sure they don't find you!"

"Tanjiro..."

"No! You can't!"

"Sunshine plea-"

"No Enmu-"

With a sigh, Enmu delivered a quick chop to Tanjiro's neck when he was off guard, catching his limp body mid and and holding him bridal style.

"You're much too trusting Tanjiro... I'm sorry but I have to do my work" Enmu mumbled with a slightly saddened expression, jumping down into one of the carts and placing Tanjiro at the head off the train, right because the conductor shovelling Cole.

"Make sure no one comes in here, and whatever you do don't wake him up"

"O-ok.."
