"Tanjiro, today feels bad."

"Huh? Why?" You shrugged.

"It feels like bad."

This was the conversation the two of you had the moment you woke up. At the time, you weren't really sure how to describe it. It was like a feeling of dread had settled in your stomach and you knew that you were not going to like whatever training Urokodaki had planned for today.

When the two of you had gotten ready for the day, Urokodaki made you take your swords and led the two of you into a bamboo forest. You sighed, already guessing what was happening today.

I'm going to be so sore, I swear to god.

When you reached a clearing, Urokodaki stopped, turning to the two of you.

"Both of you, try to get a hit on me with your swords," He stated. You and Tanjiro glanced at each other before you raised your swords without hesitation.

"H-hang on!" Tanjiro exclaimed, "Are you sure, Urokodaki-sensei? What if you get hurt?" You snorted at his words as your mentor seemed amused at Tanjiro's words.

"Do you think you'll be able to get a hit on me?" He asked, and Tanjiro shook his head immediately. "Then come at me with all your power."

You ran at the man, holding your swords above your head. You weren't even sure what happened. One second, you were running, the other you were flying through the air, almost crashing into multiple shoots of bamboo as you rolled on the ground. The shock had knocked all the air from your lungs, leaving you gasping as you tried to get to your feet again.

"Cool," You muttered, watching as Urokodaki did the same thing with Tanjiro, making him land in a crumpled heap beside you. "I want to do that."

Urokodaki held his hands up and took his stance. "Again."

You and Tanjiro trudged back to the room. Your back and side were screaming in pain, your limbs were numb, and you were sure you had accidentally cut yourself multiple times by literally falling on your swords (like a dumbass).

The moment Tanjiro opened the door, you dived onto your futon, sighing as you snuggled into its warmth and comfort. Tanjiro let out a small laugh before taking some spare clothes and leaving to take a bath. You heaved yourself onto your back, looking up at the wooden ceiling, the only sounds being your heavy breaths and Nezuko's soft breathing. You turned your head to the girl.

She seemed peaceful, her face passive and her chest rising and falling regularly. However, your eyes narrowed at the clump of knots that had formed in her hair.

Of course, it got tangled. I don't think they would have taken care of it.

So, using a brush that Urokodaki had given you, you sat by Nezuko's head, pulling it onto your lap, and gently started working on the knots in her hair. You went as gently as you could because you weren't really sure if she could feel pain or not while she was sleeping, but you'd prefer to have her as comfortable as possible.
