Tanjiros POV
------------------------------------

My day at school was... Interesting? Is that how you put it?

I feel a bit more weird of having misty always stare at me.

Is it because of what happened today?

------------------

"Man! I'm so excited for lunch, I forgot to eat breakfast..." Murata again, forgot to eat breakfast.

"Seriously?! I always remind you and you still forget! I even call you in the Morning!" Aoi, the mother of the group. She liked to make sure everyone is doing alright.

Yes, she can come off as mean but... Inosuke is worse..

And then, misty. Just watching the conversations for fun

"Your friends are real funny."

They are- wait!

Ah... I think he's getting a bit to close because he did not just speak more words?!

-------

As soon as I got my lunch I remembered something!

"I forgot forgot something from my locker!"

Of course, Aoi yelled at me. But I got away with my Sneaky skills!

I also saw yuchiro, he didn't see me. But he's looking for someone, with a very, very, annoyed scent.

"Nevermind him.."

Maybe my luck ran out? He did notice me

"Tanjiro!"

Do I ignore him?

But that would be bad...

I don't have a choice because he just walked to me

Ah, does misty know him? He looks very mad...

"Follow me, I need to talk to you."

Talk to me?! About what?!

----------

The rooftop. Nobody is up here, huh.

He sighed

"Tell your little 'stalker' to go away would you?"

Stalker?...

Wait...

"Yes, I'm talking about my twin brother."

Twin?! No way! He's lying

"What do you mean?!"

Oh no... Misty looks even more mad

"Agh, are you that stupid? We have similar features. But he's the reason why I need to talk to you!"

"What.. Um.."

"Shush! I want this over fast. You need to get rid of him!"

But how?!

"Agh, you don't know how do you?!"

Is he reading me like a book?!

"Yes! I am! Your easy to read."

Ouch.

"Okay... Tell me, has he started appearing in your dreams?"

"Uhm.. Yes?"

"Goddamn it... Okay, touching you?!"

"Yes..?"

He mumbled something again and looked mad.

"Have you ever had a full conversation?!"

"No..."

I never responded to him? What is this about?

"Okay good. Take this!"

He handed me a strange necklace shaped as a moon.

"Uhm... What is this?"

"It's to keep him away! If you really want to I'll tell you why I know, and can see him."

"Uh-"

"Okay, so basically he's a spirit but not dead, just had his body turned into one."

I'll ignore what he just said... Can he let me speak?!

"No! I'm not letting you speak"

Okay... What?

"My family is able to see spirits! Simple. And getting turned into one is not fun, the type of spirit that possessed my twin just wanted to turn him into a spirit for fun."

"He's still technically alive. But, You! You don't even know what's going on!"

I certainly don't.

"Your already down the rabbit hole. I don't know if it's good or bad, but he's the type of spirit that will follow someone until they... "

"Agh!? Fall in love?! I don't know!"

What.

Wait and misty was just watching this all?!

Fall in love?!

...

"Your lucky he doesn't want to murder you. But that necklace is the only way to keep him away from you!"

"Now go to your friends!"

He rushed me out, misty didn't even follow.

Okay, what just happened?

-------
?????? POV

Damn my brother... Has to go and Ruin everything like always.

"Jeez, and I thought you wouldn't actually keep your promise"

My promise. That's right I kept the promise.

"If I ever get possessed by a spirit... I will become a spirit that will follow someone until they love them!"

"Pfttt, why that? Don't you wanna kill people?"

"No! Your just evil!"

"Yeah, yeah."

---

Of course I kept my promise! Who does he think I am

More important..

"Where the hell did you get that necklace?! It belongs to our father! It's supposed to be broken!"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe a few fixes..."

Damn this brother of mine!

...

All this spirit stuff just turned me into a more aggressive person didn't it? Damn! Don't I get my real personality back when he actually starts liking me?!

I can't hurt my brother... He still has those stupid earrings mother gave him.

"Ah, are you mad you can't see your little crush? Or, mad you can't harm me?"

"I can harm you if I wanted to!"

"Go ahead, try it."

... He got me there

If I end up harming him then my whole body would actually die!

"The only way to get your crush back is if he takes the necklace off~"

He said that in the most evil voice.

damnit yuchiro! You are truly from hell ever since you were born!
