Rui's headless body started to stumble over to Nezuko and Tanjiro. Giyuu glanced over at the three. Rui's body fell to the floor near to where Nezuko and Tanjiro was, Nezuko opened her eyes and looked at Rui's body. She reached out her hand and placed it on top of his body. Rui's head which hadn't moved from when it was cut off just watched the whole interaction.

Rui's head and body completely disintegrated and Nezuko's hand was still on Rui's clothes, Giyuu walked over and stood on them,
"Don't feel sorry for a demon who ate people. It doesn't matter whether or not he had the form of a child, he's an unsightly monster who lived for tens, hundreds, thousands of years" Nezuko glared up at Giyuu.

"In order to soothe the spirits of those it killed, and to make sure it claims no further victims... I will swing my blade and chop off the head of any demon without mercy! But I will not belittle those who regret their actions... and suffer over the things they did as a demon. Because demons were once human. Because they were humans just like me"
"Please get your foot off." She gestured at Giyuu's foot,
"He isn't an unsightly monster. Demons are lifeless beings, sorrowful beings."

Giyuu looked down at Nezuko, while Nezuko continued to glare up at him and Tanjiro just slept. Giyuu noticed Tanjiro and then he realised who they where,
"You're..." He suddenly looked up and blocked an attack which was aimed at Tanjiro,
"Oh? Why are you getting in the way,
Tomioka-San?" The lady dressed in a butterfly haori landed on the ground,
"You said wyd can't get along with demons, but what's all this about? This is why no one likes you".

The lady pointed her katana at Giyuu,
"Okay, Tomioka-San get out of the way"
"I am not hated." Giyuu bluntly said. Nezuko just laid there stunned,
"Ahhh, that... I'm sorry? So you didn't realise you were hated. Pardon me for saying too much" Nezuko just looked at Giyuu.

"Girl." Nezuko quickly turned to look at the lady who called out to her,
"Yes?"
"Girl, you're protecting a demon. It's dangerous so please get off of him" Nezuko sat up a bit still holding onto Tanjiro,
"N... No. Well you're not wrong, but... uh- he's my older brother! And..." the lady put a hand in front of her mouth,
"Well, is that so. What a pity. Okay then...
I'll kill him with a sweet poison that won't leave her in pain".

Nezuko just stared in terror,
"..."
"Can you move?" Giyuu didn't look down at Nezuko,
"Even if you can't, will yourself to move. Take your brother, and run."
"!! Tomioka-San..." Nezuko picked up Tanjiro and started to run,
"I'M SORRY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!".

"Isn't this, a violation of demon slayer conduct?" Giyuu didn't reply to the woman in front of him, instead just stared.

Nezuko neared Tanjiro's box and grabbed it with one of her hands. Tanjiro had woken up now and had a panicked look on his face. Someone behind them had landed and jumped off a tree branch behind them. The girl who had a matching butterfly hair ornament to the other lady landed on top of Nezuko's back, causing Nezuko to fall to the ground.

Tanjiro who was laying on the ground a bit away from Nezuko was about to be decapitated by the girl, but fortunately Nezuko grabbed onto the girls cape pulling her backwards. She landed on Nezuko's back, Nezuko looked up at Tanjiro,
"RUN TANJIRO! RUN!! RUN..." the girl kicked Nezuko on top of her head knocking her out.

Tanjiro had gotten up and had started to run away. The girl had also gotten up and had started to chase after Tanjiro. The girl caught up to Tanjiro and swung her sword to try and decapitate him.

Tanjiro had shrunk down to the size of a child,
'!! He got... smaller?' Tanjiro started to run away from the girl in his now child form who continued to chase after him.

"MESSAGE! MESSAGE! CAPTURE NEZUKO AND THE DEMON TANJIRO! CAPTURE THEM AND RETURN TO HEADQUARTERS!! NEZUKO HAS A PINK HAIR BOW! THE DEMON TANJIRO IS BITING ONTO A PIECE OF BAMBOO!!" The girl turned to Tanjiro,
"So you're Nezuko?".

Nezuko lay on the floor while two kakushi surrounded her,
"She has a pink hair bow"
"Good. Secure him"
"Huh... did she break her jawbone?"
"Aw, I hate to tie her up".

✧*。–-—-—-—-–-—-–-—-—-—-—-—-—-—✧*。

"Get up. Get up! Get up... hey! Hey! Hey, you! Hey!"
"HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA SLEEP! GET UP ALREADY!!" Nezuko suddenly woke up. She was lying on a gravel floor and was in a strange place. She looked up,
"You're in the presence of the Hashira!".
