Chapter 4~Tengu Masked Man

As the morning sun rose, two people could be seen in front of the small hut they rested in last night. One male wearing a checkered haori and one female wearing a (F/P) haori. Currently the male was cutting the bamboo plants nearby and wrapping them around a small basket the (G/N) had given them to carry their demon companion in the sun.

The female only watched seeing as the male absolutely refused her to do any hard work after giving them a place to stay for the night, food to eat, and for the basket her grandma had given them for his sister. The young girl with him could only sigh in defeat knowing pressing on would be pointless knowing how stubborn this one can be.

When the boy was finished he went back inside with the girl following him to the room where the demon is currently resting in, which was the basement they had which oddly enough had a clean room for her to rest in when the sun came up. (A/N~ I know in the photo it wasn't touching the ground but pretend that the space underneath are walls-)

"Nezuko, we're coming in." They boy Tanjiro said twisting the door knob with the girl, (Y/N) behind him. Nezuko was awake in the on the bed kicking her feet with her cute like black dot eyes. Since this was underground and it had no windows, she didn't need to worry about being hit by the sun. (Y/N) giggled a bit, liking how cute the other girl was being.

Her dotted eyes immediately went up hearing the giggle, jumping off the bed and slightly tackling the girl with a hug, closing her eyes in contentment, her head on the crook of her neck. The other two slightly chuckled at her antics, Tanjiro was setting the basket on the ground, hopefully the basket is big and comfortable enough for his sister.

The said sister pulled her head away, but her arms were still around the girl she was hugging, she was staring at her brother a bit confused as to why he had the basket. But her question was soon answered by him telling her to go inside. She pulled away from the hug and cutely yet weirdly went inside but failing in the process because her body was too big.

But it seemed the brother thought of something to counter it, remembering when his sister tackled him to the ground and changed her size. To their luck, it worked, she shrunk in size and was able to fit into the basket now, with her shrunken size, (Y/N) couldn't help but pat her head because of how adorable the girl looked, in return she had on a satisfied face from the pat before eventually falling asleep. Her light snores were the sounds showing she was indeed asleep as Tanjiro wrapped the basket in a thick white cloth before carrying her on his back and motioning (Y/N) to follow.

They made their way to the front door where (G/N) was waiting for them in front of the door was a sad yet happy smile because her promise with her former masters, will finally be granted, however she still couldn't help but worry for her, no, their well-being when they start going down this dangerous path, as she walked to her granddaughter and her boy companion, embracing them in a warm hug before shortly pulling away, taking something out of her haori.

(Y/N)'s eyes widen, looking at the ribbon and (Shape) guard, she had forgotten about them since she cried last night, in the morning her mind was a bit fuzzy from the crying, that had caused her to forget otherwise she would have never forgotten it. 

The old woman in front of her had taken the (F/C) ribbon out and tying it into (Y/N)'s soft (H/C) hair, letting it fall beautifully down with her hair before giving her the (Shape) guard delicately, she took it from her and carefully put it into her haori, if her grandma hadn't given her this, she would've definitely panicked. 

The old woman pulled away proud of how the ribbon looked on her with a faint warm smile on her face. Finally, after all this time of raising her, it had finally paid off, the girl whom she raised had finally grown up at this young age, "Now go..." She spoke softly. The small girl smiled sadly, tackling her in an embrace, feeling like she didn't wanna let go but she had to.
