"AHHHH!" netsu screamed.
She put her hand to her neck, and panted.
"NETSU!" tanjiro screamed
She looked at him
"H-hey...are you okay?!"
"Yeah...nezuko helped me wake up!"
Beside him was a small nezuko.
"So...what's happening…"
"There's probably a demon here...and the ropes were attaching these people to our dreams apparently!"
Netsu looked at the man sitting across from her.
"creep"
She looked at everyone else who is sleeping
"Pfft...look at shizen…"
Inosuke was laying on her legs, while Shizen was grumbling curses in her sleep.
Tanjiro looked at netsu
"Right! No time for laughing"
"We need to try and wake everyone up!"
Both of them ran over to each of their friends and tried to shake them away
It was no use.
Then the girl who was tied to kyojuro waved a needle towards tanjiro.
Luckily both of them dodged.
"DON'T INTERFERE! BECAUSE OF YOU...HE WON'T LET US DREAM!!" she screamed
She's doing this willingly?
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! IF YOU'RE AWAKE, HELP OUT!!"
Then all the people who were next to the group stood up.
At least they know who is gonna wake up or not.
"I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR TUBERCULOSIS OR WHATEVER...BUT IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR JOB...I'LL TELL HIM SO HE WON'T LET YOU DREAM!" the girl screamed at the guy
Tanjiro looked at the guy with solemn eyes.
"Sorry...but we have to go fight" tanjiro said
He and netsu knocked out 9 of them.
"You want to stay in a happy dream, right? I understand...i wanted to stay in my dream, too"
The man just smiled at them
"Are you all right?" netsu asked him
"Thank you...and be careful" he smiled.
They just stared at him, and smiled before saying
"Yep!"
They started to run, while nezuko trailed after them.
They opened a cart door
"Ugh...it stinks!" tanjiro said
Tanjiro looked around
"I think the demon's on top of the train!" he said
Both of them jumped on the roof of the train.
"Nezuko, stay there! It's too dangerous! Go wake everyone up!" netsu said
They ran towards the front of the train.
"Oh, you're awake? Good morning. You should have stayed asleep." the demon, enmu, said
It's him…
"I was showing you such a good dream. You should thank me- i could've shown you your family being slaughtered…"
"..."
"Next time, shall I show your mothers coming back to life?"
