You spun yourself early the next morning, and almost tore open the window to feel the cool morning breeze which brushed past your hair like warm strokes of the warmest hand clasping you, it was still chilly since the night kept you awake for a while, you wanted to take a walk outside the dense forests to clear the hazy thoughts and maybe even search for some aloe vera, crush some tumeric, some mint, and basil leaves if you could find them, 

You slightly opened the door to where Tanjiro and Nezuko were sleeping comfortably even if everything had gone wrong there faces were peaceful and filled with calmness like an unbreakable bond, there must be one crazy reason as to why they would break apart not that it would ever happen, 

You kneeled next to Nezuko and took her hand clasping them, she now had long nails and more thicker fingers, "Nezuko... When we come back please be awake okay? I can't stich my Kimono without poking it into my skin or cook any food!" You pleaded, 

She lay unmoving, yet somehow you believed she had herd you, not wanting to wake Tanjiro up you shut the Shoji door got dressed and checked the sword one more time, 

The breaking of twigs and crunches of the leaves were oddly soothing, you came here everyday for these two years yet, it felt like someone was walking right by your side, someone restless... Innocent? Young? You couldn't tell, sometimes you felt it was Akira or Mom or dad, 

"What are doing so early?" It was Sabito again, appearing like that again, without any presence, you felt the overwhelming kindness, and determination in his heart making him so human but, it was like his body was just an illusion you were seeing, he was so cutely standing there, 

"Sabito... Are you dead? This restless soul of yours roams this mountains I'm sure it isn't to beat me up." You chuckled the last part, but your tone was laced with curiosity, 

Sabito stayed quiet, "In the final selection a demon devoured so many participants it grew to strong for me to handle... I saved everyone in the selection yet. I feel like I failed..." 

You walked closer to him and gave a smile, "So it wasn't because you liked me so much?.. but your really kind Sabito... I can't be like that... So I really admire all the kind people. When your so kind and selfless you have to bear the weight of walking on deadly nights without the moon's light, and cry on your own right?" You paused, looking right ahead, "If someone personally hurted me... Then I don't think I can be like you, like right now I'm already thinking of slaying that demon." 

Sabito was looking at you with strict blue eyes, "You look really cute you know Sabito? I'll get going now, and I'll make sure you'll get going to... To where you belong." 

Sabito watched you wave your hand towards him, and slowly slipped away back to the cottage. You got a little lost on the track trying to find some herbs so it took you longer than you expected, you saw Tanjiro and Urkodaki outside, Tanjiro was deeply bowing the red mask turned to you, as you approached closer your bag was laid outside, 

"Where did you go? And--" 

You cut him of, "Tanjiro wait did you check my bag?" You asked slowly, 

"No, I didn't think that was right but it must be important because the bag looks really heavy." Tanjiro politely said, 

"Oh... Thank God don't worry I'll be fine!" 

You had to be fine, Akira would always make sure you had every medicine it was a bit different she would always go out without any baggage or anything. But the strangest thing of the bag was you couldn't open it, it looked almost locked but it was the most precious thing say it was all materials, dad would have scolded you for making a big fuss of something so replaceable, your favorite earrings got lost--
