Zenitsu: Oh I'm so done.

One week has passed since the fight, the blonde was looking at himself in the mirror. A wide crack went up to his elbow, roots forming and a flower blooming. That morning he felt worst like any day. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

When he went outside his room, his sparrow was first to greet him.

Zenitsu: I'm so tired Chuntaro.

Chuntaro looks at him worries then sits on his shoulder.

Zenitsu: You are staying with me?

The sparrow nods.

Kaigaku: Good morning.

Zenitsu: Ah! Kaigaku. It's you- sorry. Good morning!

Kaigaku: Are you sure you are okay?

Zenitsu: How many times do I have to repeat myself? I'm fine!

Kaigaku: Okay, okay! Just asking-

Zenitsu: For the millionth time!

Kaigaku: I'll stop asking then!

Zenitsu: Good. Thank you.

Inosuke walks in.

Inosuke: YOU TWO!

Kaigaku: What is it, you pig?

Inosuke: We need to go this night to the village!

Kaigaku frowns.

Kaigaku: Why?

Inosuke: Today I want to eat something good!

Zenitsu/Kaigaku: ....

Zenitsu: You love Aoi's food.

Inosuke: I know but she is going to meet a friend today and we need to make the food ourselves.

Kaigaku: So why don't we do it?

Inosuke: I don't feel like making it today!

Zenitsu: You don't feel like it everyday!!!

Inosuke: Ignoring your comment minion.

Zenitsu: Ugh. Okay...then Tanjiro should come with us, same with Nezuko.

Inosuke: Already did. Nezuko said yes and can't find Monjiro.

Kaigaku: Why do you always say Nezuko's name correct and not ours?

Inosuke rolls his eyes.

Zenitsu: You ready Nezuko?

Nezuko nods her head happily.

It was already night, the day went too quickly for the blonde. Not for Inosuke, he was hungry. VERY HUNGRY.

The four of them were walking to the village now. Inosuke yelling about nonsense, Zenitsu scolding him and Kaigaku and Nezuko just having a normal conversation, Nezuko writing on her notebook.

Once they arrived at the village, they ordered food in a restaurant. Not the fancy one but a cozy one. They took the food outside to enjoy the fresh air, people didn't even notice the female's strange (beautiful) appearance.

They had fun. Since weeks actually, it had been so strange these few months.

Kaigaku: So...where do you think the other one is?

Inosuke: No idea. I haven't seen Monjiro too much. All because of Nora. Ew.

Nezuko looks at Inosuke and quickly writes in her notebook.

Nezuko: She is rude and mean, I hate her. All she wants is attention.

Inosuke: That's our Nezuko! What about you, Monitsu?

Zenitsu kept silent.

Kaigaku: Well?

Zenitsu: Umm.

Inosuke: You don't even have to answer, we all hate her.

Zenitsu: I mean yes. I absolutely hate her, but she is nice to the others.

Insouke: Double-faced much. Don't be nice to her minion. Only wastes your time!

Nezuko agrees with him.

Kaigaku: You two are sure kind. Oh... look at that.

They all turn around to look at what the oldest noticed.

Inosuke: You've got to be kidding me.

Like it was destiny, they encounter Tanjiro and Nora sitting in the small field, a lake in front of them. Nora is resting her head on Tanjiro's shoulder.

Kaigaku: Don't tell me they are together...

Nezuko shakes her head aggressively.

Zenitsu: Oh no!

They now paid attention to Zenitsu sudden yell.

Inosuke: What is it.

Zenitsu: I just remembered something! I planned to meet with Mitsuri today! I'm so sorry you all keep going with this fun night.

Kaigaku: Wait what? You said you were free.

Nezuko is confused too.

Zenitsu: Like I said before, I completely forgot! Well then, bye! See you later!

He left in a second from there.

Inosuke: He's acting weird.

.

Zenitsu: 'No, no, no, no. Come on! Hold it, hold it!'

Once he is inside his room, he coughs violently his breathing failing a little. This went too far, plenty of flowers came out and he felt the crack going bigger. Tears fell of his honey eyes.

Zenitsu: What to do? What to do?

He is silent for a moment, an idea. He stands up and leaves the room, wiping his tears of his face.

Shinobu was practising with some medicines.

Shinobu: This one doesn't work...

She throws away a jar. A knock on her door is heard.

Shinobu: Enter!

A blonde boy with red puffy eyes is seen.

Shinobu: Zenitsu?

Zenitsu: Shinobu. I need your help.
