Shoto Todoroki was fighting along with his father when he was pushed out of the way of an attack, which lead him to fall into a portal to the world of Demons and Demon Slayers. Todoroki first met the Flame Hashira, who rescued him the night he arriv...
"LISTEN! WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY ISN'T ABOUT MONEY! WHAT I CAN'T ACCEPT IS THAT YOU JUST DROPPED MY UDON AND LEFT!" The man at the vendor screamed at them.
"We're sorry about that!" Tanjiro bowed his head. "Can we get another?"
"Actually my original bowl is fine since I didn't drop it out of shock," Shoto said. "So you can just get one for yourself."
"Oh okay... still two bowls of udon," Tanjiro said.
"...huh?"
"Fine," the man grumbled as he went back inside his stand and quickly whipped up more udon.
When it was finished, Tanjiro grabbed some chopsticks and ate both at a surprisingly fast rate.

"Not the first time I've seen someone my age shove food in their mouths like that," Shoto thought. "Granted I never thought I'd see him do it, but it's not out of the ordinary to me nonetheless."
"Thanks for the meal!" Tanjiro said, putting both bowls down. "It was delicious!" He told him as he walked off.
"AS LONG AS YOU GET THAT, FINE! COME AGAIN!" The man responded.
"Sorry to leave you alone, Nezuko," Tanjiro said as he grabbed her hand and walked away from the stand.
"You were a different person there," Shoto said. "If I recall, you said Kibutsuji was the one who killed your family, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Based on everything that happened and the massive temperature drop from his presence alone, that was him wasn't it?" Shoto asked.
"Yeah, sorry about running off like that without saying anything," Tanjiro apologized.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time a friend of mine has done that," Shoto said. "And besides, I would've figured out what was going on pretty quickly."
"I guess you would've, I still should've filled you in so you know what you were getting into," Tanjiro said. Before Shoto could respond Tanjiro felt Nezuko stop, causing her to tug on his hand. "Nezuko?" He looked around to see what Nezuko was wary of, only to spot the male demon they ran into earlier waiting in the corner.
"Looks like he was waiting for us," Shoto said, walking over to the demon.
"You were waiting for us? I could've just followed the scent, but..." Tanjiro tried telling him.
"We're under a concealment spell, so there's no way you could trace us," he said.
"Not sure that would work back in my world, but who knows?" Shoto thought.
"Besides, isn't she a demon?" the man asked as he pointed at her. "And not much to look at."
"That's harsh," Shoto thought. "Wonder how Tanjiro's gonna react to him insulting his sister."
