Hey look, We found him!
"Kiyoshi!!" teruko ran over to the boy
He was about to bang on the tsuzuki that was in his hand, but he stopped when teruko hugged him.
"Who...who're they?" kiyoshi asked
"I'm Tanjiro Kamado. They are Kuki Sora and Kage Yami. We came to defeat the evil demons...do you have any wounds?"
He pointed to his ankle.
Then tanjiro took out a packet.
"This salve is wonderful! My master gave it to me!!" he smiled
"I think i have some bandages here...yep!" kage took out some bandages
"You did well…" kuki said to kiyoshi
…
"My master wears a tengu mask." tanjiro said
"Tengu? Really?" kiyoshi asked
"Its true" tanjiro smiled
He wrapped the bandage.
"There, all done! The pain is fading, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Can you tell us what happened here?"kuki asked
"A monster kidnapped us...and was about to eat us. Then another monster came from somewhere and th-they started fighting over which one would g-get to eat us. One of them...had a tsuzumi drum growing on his body. When the other one hit him, the tsuzumi fell, so I grabbed it. If I hit the drum, the rooms change, which is how I survived."
"The demon said something about 'marechi'"
"Yes! That's right, he calls me marechi!"
"KAAAW! MARECHI MEANS ONE WHO HAS RARE BLOOD!" kuki's crow said.
The kids yelped when they saw the crow talking.
"OI! I'M JUST A NORMAL TALKING CROW! NO NEED TO BE SCARED"
"FOOD I'M HUNGRY"
"KAGE STOP THATS MY CROW!"
The crow flew away.
"So...what did he mean by marechi?"
"Well, from what i've heard, marechi is basically a demon delicacy" kage said while eating a sandwich
Tanjiro sniffed the air.
"He found something...Hoshi does that same thing when she finds something…" kage said
"We're going to leave the room" tanjiro said
"What?!" the kids asked
"Stay calm...it's okay. We're going to fight the demons. And you, teruko, your brother is really tired right now, so you need to help him. As soon as we leave the room, hit the tsuzumi and move out of the room. Just like kiyoshi was doing if you hear someone trying to open the door, hit the drum and flee immediately. We'll come for you later. Promise. I'll follow your scents. Before I open the door, I'll say your names. Hang in there just a little longer. Can you do that?" tanjiro asked
The siblings nodded.
"Great! Be strong! We'll be back."
The door on the far north opened.
Kuki, Kage, and Tanjiro dashed out.
"NOW!!" tanjiro yelled.
They heard teruko bang the tsuzumi and they disappeared.
"BUGS! HATEFUL INSECTS!" the demon yelled
The demon banged his tsuzumi and the room flipped.
"OW!" kage yelled
kuki and tanjiro landed on their feet.
"HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!"
"Our enhanced senses help out...you don't have one?"
"Enhanced speed"
"oof…"
The demon banged the tsuzumi on his shoulder.
"NOT AGAIN"
"DUCK" tanjiro yelled
"Where?"
"ACK!"
Invisible claws scratched in the air.
The tsuzumi sounded again.
The room flipped.
"SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE?!" kage whined
"NO TIME, JUST FOLLOW US!" kuki yelled.
The room flipped, and invisible claws were aiming at them.
"IS IT EASY NOW?!" kage yelled.
"ITS NOT, JEEZ!"
They continued 'jumping' and dodging attacks.
Tanjiro seemed to be deep in thought until.
"HEY! PIPE DOWN WOULD YA?!" he yelled.
"WE'RE NOT EVEN SPEAKING!!"
"sorry!"
Tanjiro continued mumbling to himself
