The Kamado Family!

(2084 Word's!)

Anos: "Hello there Tanjuro Kamado. Nice to meet you."

----------(Scene Break!)-----------------

The elderly man now identified as Tanjuro Kamado looked directly into Anos's eyes, his calm smile never left his face as he spoke to Anos.

Tanjuro: "Good day to the three of you. My name is Kamado Tanjuro, but please feel free to call me Tanjuro."

Anos: "My name is Anos Voldigoad. And the two behind me are Kanae and Shinobu. If you have some time to spare, could we have a talk?"

The man named Tanjuro looked at Anos calmly as he replied.

Tanjuro: "Hrrm. Very well then, but after we sell the rest of the coal."

Shinobu & Kanae: "We?"

Tanjuro gave them a small smile as he looked down with Kanae and Shinobu following his gaze as they saw a young boy who looks exactly like the man standing before them hiding behind his leg.

Tanjuro: "Tanjiro, why don't you introduce yourself to these people?"

Tanjiro slowly moved away from his father's leg before he stood in front of them all and bowed slightly as he spoke.

Tanjiro: "Nice to meet you all. My name is Kamado Tanjiro."

Kanae's eyes sparkled with glee and mischief as she saw Tanjiro before she snapped out of her thoughts as Anos, herself, and Shinobu also bowed back to Tanjiro.

Kanae: "Nice to meet you to young Tanjiro, my name is Kochou Kanae."

Shinobu: "I'm Kochou Shinobu. It's nice to meet you as well."

Anos: "And I'm Anos Voldigoad."

Tanjuro then left with Tanjiro to go sell the rest of the coal as both Kanae and Shinobu questioned Anos as to why he approached Tanjuro specifically. Anos simply replied to their question.

Anos: "That man is strong. In fact, I would dare say he could beat all the Hashira's if not for his weak constitution."

The two Demon Slayers looked shocked hearing his words. When asked how, Anos casually replied.

Anos: "You felt it to am I right? That man has no fighting spirit. His actions aren't fueled by emotions making him completely invisible and weak to almost everyone who sees him. Almost as if fighting a plant."

Both Kanae and Shinobu became quiet hearing this. Although surprised they decided to trust Anos as so far he's proven to be right about most things. Eventually Tanjuro and his son Tanjiro met up with them as he spoke.

Tanjuro: "So, how may I help you three?"

Anos: "It's nothing much, I just got curious about why someone who can enter such a state of mind and body would be living in such a place?"

Tanjuro: "I am merely a man trying to support his family. There isn't much else I can say."

Anos: "If that's what you chose then I will respect it. You should know of the existence of those creatures am I correct?"

Tanjuro nodded his head as he lead them all through the mountain terrain before he stopped in front of a cabin and knocked on the door. And when an old man opened it Tanjuro spoke.

Tanjuro: "Saburo-San, could I trouble you to take Tanjiro back home and to borrow this place to have a talk with these youngsters?"

The man named Saburo looked at Anos and the other two before he sighed as he allowed them in. He then spoke up as he left the house with Tanjiro.

Saburo: "Be careful Tanjuro-San. I will inform your wife that you will return a bit later tonight."

Anos then spoke up.

Anos: "Tanjuro-San, would you be fine if I had these two follow the man? It's already getting dark and who knows if he will be able to protect your son from the demons?"

Tanjuro looked thoughtful before he nodded his head as he turned to both Kanae and Shinobu.

Tanjuro: "Please protect Saburo-San and my family."

The two slayers looked at Anos before back at Tanjuro as they nodded their heads and promised they will protect them. Tanjuro merely gave them a thankful smile as he turned to Anos once everyone had left.

Tanjuro: "What exactly are you? Your anatomy looks exactly like a human, and you didn't die under the sun. Yet I know for a fact you are not a human."

Anos smirked as he gave Tanjuro an exaggerated bow as he introduced himself.

Anos: "I am Anos Voldigoad, son of Celis and Luna Voldigoad. I have reached a level of power that puts me above everyone, with wisdom bordering Omniscience. And, I am but a humble Demon from another world. I have arrived in this world because I was bored and one of those girls wanted the power to save her sister. So curiosity got to me and I lent her the strength necessary to save her sister before I decided to stay after seeing how interesting these humans were. Even with no supernatural abilities, they still are capable of fighting those immortal demons with nothing but pure strength, skill, and technique."

Tanjuro hummed as he spoke.

Tanjuro: "I don't believe that I've done anything to attract the attention of such a powerful demon am I correct?"

Anos laughed as he replied.

Anos: "Your ability to use the selfless state and your ability to use the transparent world alongside it is incredible. The number of people who would be capable of ever achieving such a state of being can quite litteraly be counted on a single hand."

Tanjuro: "This was taught to me by my father. It was a technique which was learnt by my ancestors."

Anos nodded his head as he replied.

Anos: "I'm curious as to why you don't train your child? You know of the existence of Demons yet you don't teach him how to defend himself or use this selfless state and the transparent world."

Tanjuro smiled sadly as he replied.

Tanjuro: "He is still young. To drag him into such a difficult life when he's still so young isn't what I want for him. Besides, he already knows how to use our families breathing techniques, it should help him some time in the future."

Anos: "There are demons out there who are far more powerful than what that boy will be able to fight against if you don't train him. Atleast if he has mastered the skills you posses, he will be able to defend his family from the demons."

Tanjuro closed his eyes as he thought about Anos's words. Opening his eyes, he spoke.

Tanjuro: "Why do you care so much about what happens to the boy and my family?"

Anos smiled as he replied.

Anos: "I plan to have him become a possible disciple of mine in the future. So I would much prefer if he didn't die so early."

Tanjuro: "And you do not ask me to become your disciple why?"

Anos: "You are most likely to reject my offer, but your son would probably agree if it means the safety of his family."

Tanjuro laughed softly as he replied.

Tanjuro: "My, using blackmail to get a child to become your disciple? You truly are a demon aren't you?"

Anos laughed as well as he nodded his head.

Anos: "As a demon I of course do what I want."

Tanjuro hummed as he spoke this time alot more seriously than before.

Tanjuro: "Anos Voldigoad, I have a favour to ask you."

Anos: "What is it?"

Tanjuro: "Could I ask that you protect Rei and my children in the future once I die? Atleast until Tanjiro Becomes strong enough to protect them by himself."

Anos: "You should know that making a contract with a demon is never free. What do you offer to have me protect them?"

Tanjuro: "My family technique."

Anos looked amused as he spoke.

Anos: "Do you think a breathing technique will be enough to have me protect your family till your son is strong enough to protect them?"

Tanjuro still kept his calm smile as he replied.

Tanjuro: "I expected as such. Is there an exception you can give me? Because I'd like to know when I die that Rei and the other kids won't have to suffer by worrying about demons attacking them."

Anos: "Hrrm, then I want you to accomplish this labor I will give you."

Tanjuro: "And what exactly do I have to accomplish?"

Anos: "Simply put, a battle between you and all 12 demon moons."

Tanjuro thought about it as he spoke.

Tanjuro: "I see you wish to send me to an early grave."

Anos: "You should know already how strong you are. And besides, I'm more than confident in your ability to survive a battle against the 12 Demon Moon's. And the effect of this contract will be achieved only if you survive the battle."

Tanjuro: "And should I die?"

Anos: "Then it will be up to your eldest son to protect your family."

Tanjuro sighed as he spoke.

Tanjuro: "I guess I have no choice but to Survive. When do I start this Labour?"

Anos: "In a month from now. I will give you time to prepare yourself for the next month before I send you to fight them."

Tanjuro nodded his head as he got up and outstretched his hand to shake Anos's hand. Anos smiled as he shook the man's hand and spoke.

Anos: "Prepare yourself Tanjuro Kamado, in one month, your Labour will come to be."

Tanjuro nodded his head as he spoke up.

Tanjuro: "Its already getting pretty late, would you like to come over to stay for the night?"

Anos shook his head as he replied.

Anos: "I thank you for your kindness, but I have my own place to rest for the night. And besides, are you sure it's wise to let a demon into your home?"

Tanjuro laughed lightly as he spoke

Tanjuro: "Normally yes, but I can tell that you take no pleasure killing the weak. And what of the two girls? Will they be staying then?"

Anos: "I can't tell rather what your doing is brave or dumb. However, one thing you are right about is that I don't take pleasure killing weaklings. As for the Kochou Sisters, I will most likely send them back to their headquarters to rest for the night."

Tanjuro nodded his head as both him and Anos walked towards the cabin at the top of the mountain where they saw Kanae, Shinobu, Tanjuro's wife and Daughter all chatting with each other as if seemingly good friends. Anos snorted at this and Tanjuro merely smiled as he watched this scene.

Kanae and Shinobu noticed the two of them approaching as they excused themselves from the chat and approached Anos and Tanjuro.

Anos: "I see you've made some new friends."

Kanae nodded happily as she spoke.

Kanae: "Rei-San is such a kind woman. I can see where little Tanjiro gets his kindness from."

Shinobu: "And although gentle, she is still very strict with her kids. She is truly a great mother and wife."

Anos shrugged his shoulder as he heard Kanae speaking of bringing Tanjiro to meet Kanao and hoping they get along. He also heard her muttering about how kind Rei was even going as far as treating them as her own children. Anos interrupted her as he spoke.

Anos: "I am leaving to my castle to rest for the night. Do you wish to remain or return to your headquarters."

Both Shinobu and Kanae thought about it and decided to return to their Manor. They approached Rei as they made some small talk and Rei and her daughter hugged them and saw them off with a bright, gentle and motherly smile making the two girls smile back. Until Anos just created a portal under them dropping them off directly in front of their Manor shocking everyone present as Anos spoke.

Anos: "Well, have a good night all of you."

Anos then disappeared and the portal closed leaving everyone even more surprised. Rei looked at her husband who simply shook his head in amazement at how Anos didn't seem to care about showing his powers even to normal humans.

He approached his wife as he gave her a hug and a kiss before entering the house with his dumbfounded wife and children as they all prepared to go to sleep even after seeing the strangeness of what happened a few minutes ago.

Tanjuro: 'Tomorrow I'll have to talk with Kei about my upcoming labor but also to begin training Tanjiro.'
