Tanjiro yawn tiredly as he try to wake Zenitsu and Inosuke up for their morning routine. It's 6 in the morning, they still need to train for awhile with the help of Shinobu. After all they stay at the Butterfly Mansion.

"Wake up wake up!" Tanjiro said as he pull the blanket away from the sleeping Zenitsu

"5 more minutes." Zenitsu whine

Tanjiro sighs and shake his head. He turn to look at Inosuke and slowly approaching the male.

"Inosuke! Wake up!"

Inosuke open his eyes and glare at Tanjiro. That's the second thing he do every morning after opening his eyes ; glaring at Tanjiro for bothering his peaceful sleep.

Tanjiro got used to it and ignore it. He fold the blanket and fix his bed. He wave his hand at Inosuke and exit their room to go to Nezuko's room.

"Nezuko." He call out as he open the door

There she is, sleeping peacefully.

Nezuko slowly open her eyes and look at Tanjiro with doe eyes.

"Hmp hmp." Nezuko hummed

Tanjiro tilts his head and look around in the room. There's another different scent in the room. He sure he never smell the scent before. He knows Nezuko's demon scent but not this one.

"Who's there?" He ask

Nezuko just slowly make herself sit on the bed. She knows something that Tanjiro didn't know.

Just another demon scent but Nezuko don't even move to attack or trying to find the scent. Tanjiro start to feel worry and try to find the scent all by himself. He search every corner of the room but can't find anything. He sigh and sit on Nezuko's bed.

Yuki chuckle lightly as she watch Tanjiro trying to find her but eventually gave up in the end. She just make herself invisible to human eyes but she sure that Nezuko can see her.

She pats Nezuko's hair and smile at her.

"Hmm hmm!"

"What is it Nezuko?" Tanjiro ask and pull down the bamboo stick

"Oneechan is here." She mumbles and point at the empty space beside Tanjiro

Tanjiro's jaw dropped and widening his eyes. The scare feeling suddenly illuminate in him.

"Don't tell me that oneechan is a ghost now?! I can't see her but you can see her!" Tanjiro said with his eyes almost popped out from his eyes sockets

Nezuko shake her head at the assumption. She can clearly see that Yuki has rare red horns on her head and red eyes. She knows that her oldest sister is stronger than other demon. Yuki is just look different from her and other demons.

"But.." Tanjiro think for awhile and try to smell the scent again

"Demon scent but somehow don't have bad intention." Tanjiro comment

Yuki smile and nods her head. Tanjiro is right, she don't have any bad intention. She go there just to meet both of her little siblings.

Yuki finally decided to show herself in front of Tanjiro which making the poor boy fall on his butt. She chuckle and pat Tanjiro's hair.

"You did well in smelling scent Tanjiro." She comment

Tanjiro widening his eyes once again, can't believe that his sister is still alive and in front of him but with demonic appearance.

"Nee-chan!" Tanjiro call out and immediately hug the older female

"I thought you were dead.." Tanjiro said and sniffling

"I know. That's why I don't show up here before. I was planning on not to showing myself but Nezuko already saw me so I might as well just show myself to you and it's impossible for you not to notice because of my scent." Yuki said

Tanjiro look up at his sister with tears in his eyes. Now he just wondering why his sister is a demon?

"I know what are you thinking Tanjiro. I'm sorry for keeping this secret from you, Nezuko, mom and our other siblings. I was badly sick so a lord demon decided to turned me into a demon that don't need to devouring humans to gain powers or energy." Yuki explain

"For how many years nee-chan?" Tanjiro ask

"Even before Muzan's attack. I ran away from the house because I was panicked about the situation. I'm sorry Tanjiro for not helping you and Nezuko." Yuki apologize and sigh

Tanjiro part from the hug and shake his head. He can't blame his sister for not helping him and Nezuko. After all his sister already apologize and knows her mistake.

"I forgive you nee-chan. I know you try to help us." Tanjiro said with a warm smile

Yuki smile softly, her brother is indeed a kind and warm person. It's hard to see Tanjiro mad, he always has that kind and warm smile on his face.

"And oh Tanjiro. I've took revenge for you and other hashira already. You don't have to worry about Akaza. He's dead." Yuki smile

"He's.. dead?!" Tanjiro ask with shock expression on his face

Yuki tilt her head in confusion. Why Tanjiro look so shock?

"Why Tanjiro?"

"No .. it's just that Akaza was really hard to defeat. He even killed Rengoku-san." Tanjiro said with a frown on his face

"Oh really? Hard to defeat? Last night I killed him with only my deadly needles." Yuki said with a shrug

Tanjiro jaw dropped and want to know why Yuki is so powerful. She can kill an upper rank demon, with only needles?!

"Nee-chan .. who turned you into a demon? You can easily kill Akaza. That's also mean that you can kill Muzan easily too!" Tanjiro said

"Daimao-sama. She turned me into a demon, and oh she don't devouring human because her family are also human. We can survive the sun too." Yuki answer

"Daimao-sama.. that great demon lord? That would not hesitate to kill other demons who disobey her and also would help humans?" Tanjiro ask

"Exactly." Yuki nods her head

"And other demons would address me as Chimei-teki. I'm not sure why but I don't really care about that as long as you both are safe and sound." Yuki said smiling

"Nee-chan, you don't have to worry! I will protect Nezuko and I can protect myself!" Tanjiro said with determination

Yuki nods her head and pat Tanjiro and Nezuko's hair. They both are growing up too fast.

"I need to go now Tanjiro, Nezuko. If you need my help I will come okay?" Yuki said

"Okay nee-chan .. nee-chan you must go now. I'm afraid that the hashira found out about your existence and try to kill you." Tanjiro said with a sigh

"I'm aware about this. But they can kill me after I kill Muzan." Yuki said smiling

"No! I'm not allowed them to kill nee-chan! Nee-chan is kind even though nee-chan is a demon!" Tanjiro said, frowning

Yuki smile and nods her head. She bid goodbye at the two younger. She just disappeared into the thin air.

And that's how Tanjiro knows that Yuki is just too powerful because he never meet a demon that could be invisible or even disappear into the thin air easily. This is the first time he witnessed this kind of things.

"Nezuko.. you were calm and didn't do anything because you knew it was nee-chan right?" Tanjiro ask with a smile

Nezuko only nods her as response. She's not going to attack her own sister. Her sister is kind and didn't have any bad intention.
