{On Hold} Blessed Is the Blood of the Sun (Yandere Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Chapter 1 : Geranium of Happiness

Chapter 1 : Geranium of Happiness

There once was a family living a simple yet difficult life. The oldest, Tanjiro was trying to leave to sell the charcoal on this beautiful cloudy day. Hanako was begging her mom to let her go with her big brother, but she kept refusing. Then, Shigeru joined her and started to beg as well. Kie, with a face as cold as ice, kept saying that they could not come. After all, with the current temperature, Tanjiro would not be able to use the cart to bring everyone back safely before the sun set.

The boy smiled; nothing could bring him more happiness than seeing his wonderful family. When he noticed that his sibling would not stop bothering their parent, he decided to step in.

"Thank you for wanting to help me, but you two are staying home today. I'll be fine by myself and once I come back, we'll get to eat together as much food as we want. Alright?"

"You promise?" Shigeru asked while his older sister had tears coming down her dark red eyes because her wish was declined. Tanjiro smiled as he responded.

"Of course, and don't cry Hanako, I'll read for you when I get home, alright?" She smiled hesitantly as she agreed with his compromise. It was clear that she still wanted to come, unlike her little brother, but at least she stopped crying. Kie came closer to her children and hugged all three of them. She thanked the youngest and wished a safe travel for her oldest. As he left the house, the eldest child came across Nezuko and Rokuta that was sleeping on her back. His eyes soften at the sight. Nezuko, with her favorite kimono on and her hair in a bun, greeted her brother.

"Hi big brother, I just put little Rokuta to sleep so he would not make a scene. Did you say goodbye to Takeo? Because I think he's running towards you", she said with her eyes filled with a little bit of mischief. As Tanjiro was about to turn around, the second oldest boy ran into him, knocking him down in the process. The eldest opened his eyes as Takeo spoke loudly to him.

"Were you really going to leave before saying goodbye to me!... It's not like I wanted you to do that or anything".

"I'm sorry Takeo, I just wanted to leave as early as possible so that we could eat as much as we want later today" he said as he patted his little brother head who was still on him. The younger one immediately blushed and pushed him away.

"Yeah, whatever", he answered. Tanjiro got up and fixed the scarf of his brother that also mashed his haori. He left the three of them after saying goodbye and the siblings stand there until they could no longer see him. Nezuko brought her sleeping brother back inside their cottage. She smiled as she patted the youngest's head who smiled contently at her action. She thought that he looked so cute in his sleep. She would pinch his cheeks, but she did not want to wake him up and have him throw a fit. She sighed as she got back outside again. Her mother was standing there, her eyes filled with anxiety that made the young girl worried.

"Mom, is everything alright?" She asked at the purple-eyed woman who sighed at her question.

"I...I just can't help but worry for Tanjiro. I don't know why, but I feel like something bad is going to happen". Nezuko stopped at the response. While Tanjiro could avoid dangers by running away, it would be impossible to know if something bad had happened to him before it was too late. With that thought on her mind, she made a suggestion to her mom.

"You know, I could go with him. I'm sure he isn't that far of and with the both of us, it would be impossible for something to happen". Her mother was hesitant at allowing this, but she knew that unlike her other children, Nezuko would be able to follow Tanjiro without too much difficulty.

"Alright, but you and your brother better come back home safe". Her daughter beamed at her response.

"Don't worry, I will. See you later", she said as she started running to catch up to her brother. Kie waved at her child, hoping that made the good decision, without knowing that Hanako had watched the conversation and was fuming in anger.
