Release and Loyalty

Second encounter of brother and sister

Dear Tanjiro,
As you might remember I found you a few days ago, you're underling just told me to leave so I wouldn't scare you. I hope he gets you back to yourself and gives you this.
-your dear sister, Nezuko

"Oh, hey,! Nezuko, what're you writing?" Zenitsu asked.
She snapped the book shut.
"I think I know...it's for Tanjiro right?" He asked.
"Yeah..." she said.
"You just visited him, you know what he's like." Zenitsu said.
"Yes, I do. I know, I know he's suffering." She said crying.
"Where is he? Maybe Inosuke and I can help!" Zenitsu said.
She hugged him and said: "thank you..."

Tanjiro opened his eyes to see the morning light coming through the open door.
"Hm?" He questioned sleepily.
"Master, there's a demon out here who says she wants to serve you!" Shinsetsu yelled from outside.
He walked outside and saw Shinsetsu holding a umbrella over a demon's head.
"Hello, who are you?" Tanjiro asked.

"I'm Forowā, my liege" the demon said bowing.
"Hmmm... sure, as long as you don't try to kill me." Tanjiro said.
"His tone changed fast." Forowā thought.
"Shinsetsu, can you help me get Forowā to the door with your blood demon art?" Tanjiro asked.
"Yessir!" Shinsetsu said.
Tanjiro held on to Forowā and Shinsetsu made the ground sink then push them in the direction of the door.
"Ready?" Shinsetsu asked.
"Ready." Tanjiro and Forowā said.
As soon as they got to the surface Tanjiro pushed Forowā through the door with only slight burns on her. She bowed and touched her head to the floor.
"Thank you, my liege." Forowā said.
Tanjiro sniffed the air.
"Nezuko." He thought.
"Hold on, I need to go somewhere." Tanjiro told them.
"But, sire-" Forowā said.
"No." Tanjiro cut her off coldly.
"Taaaanjiiiiroooo!" Zenitsu called.
"He's not coming." Inosuke said.
"Nezuko, I told you not to come here." Tanjiro said stepping out of a bush.

"Tanjiro!" Zenitsu said.
"Who are you? Doesn't matter, I must kill you." Tanjiro said to him.
"No, Tanjiro, we came to help." Zenitsu said frantically.
"Help? Like that horrible medicine helped?" Tanjiro asked sarcastically.
"No! Please come with us!" Zenitsu pleaded.
"No. But really, who are you?" Tanjiro asked.
"I'm Zenitsu, that's Inosuke, remember?" Zenitsu replied.
"That's lord inosuke to you!" Inosuke shouted.
"Yeah, him..." Zenitsu said.
"Zen-it-su? I-no-suke?" Tanjiro repeated slowly.
"Tanjiro, just try to remember!" Nezuko urged him.
Remembering gave him a headache but he couldn't help remembering their adventures together.
"I'll kill you later, come with me." Tanjiro said.
"Where?" Inosuke asked.
"The Eye" Tanjiro replied.

When they got to The Eye Tanjiro said, "Forowā, Shinsetsu, don't kill these people, they're visiting."
"Yessir!" Said Shinsetsu.
"Of course, my liege!" Forowā said bowing.
"Who are they?" Zenitsu asked.
"My underlings; Forowā and Shinsetsu." Tanjiro replied.
"I want underlings too!" Inosuke butted in.
"Hi, Nezuko." Shinsetsu whispered.
"You know her?" Forowā asked.
"Yes, that's master's sister." Shinsetsu replied.
"Shut up!" Tanjiro yelled.
"Sorry!" They both said.

He walked behind the house to some graves.
"Who are in these?" Tanjiro asked.
"Your family!" Zenitsu said sounding surprised.
"What are their names?" Tanjiro asked.
"Tanjuro, Kie, Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru , and Rokuta." Nezuko said sadly.
"I need to kill you now." Tanjiro said.
He jumped at Zenitsu attempting to kick his head. Zenitsu grabbed his sword cutting into Tanjiro's leg just before it hit. "Zenitsu, don't kill him! We need him to come with us!" Nezuko screamed.
She and inosuke got their swords too. Thunder breathing: second form: rice spirit! Flame breathing: third form: blazing universe! Beast breathing: sixth fang: plalisade bite! They had cornered him so Tanjiro used his blood demon art.
"Move!" Zenitsu shouted getting out of the way before the energy blast hit him.
Tanjiro formed a sword out of his flesh. Sun breathing: sixth form: solar heat haze! Zenitsu
parried sending him flying back.

He hit a tree but instead of falling he planted his feet. Thunder breathing: seventh form: hinokazuchi no kami! He moved so fast Tanjiro couldn't react. Zenitsu hit Tanjiro's neck but it was too hard to cut. Beast breathing: fourth form: slice 'n dice! Tanjiro put out his arm getting the jagged blade stuck in it. Flame breathing: second form: rising scorching sun! Tanjiro stared at his sister's oncoming attack. He pulled Zenitsu's blade out of his neck then got inosuke's out of his arm. There was a horrible and sudden pain down his spine.
"Agh!" He exclaimed dropping to his hands and knees.
They all stopped wondering why he had done that.
"Tanjiro?" Inosuke asked in a worried tone.
Tanjiro's skin was being ripped apart and his clothes were so torn that the character for destroy on his back was unreadable.
"Master!" Shinsetsu yelled running outside.
He touched one of the spikes on Tanjiro's back.
"Ngh!" Tanjiro winced pulling away.
"Leave this place. Now!" Shinsetsu said to Zenitsu, inosuke, and Nezuko.
