The son of the demon king

Investigation

"Shit! Zenitsu and Inosuke!"

He used the newspaper to shield himself as the two walk up to the vendor

"Hello sir, could you hand us one of your newspapers?"
"Of course!"

Then receiving the newspaper Zenitsu looked through it trying to find any leads, tanjiro was going to walk away when he stopped dead in his tracks and caught whiff of another smell he thought he would never smell again

"Medicine........and.........wisteria flowers"

Tanjiro speaker his head over the newspaper to see Shinobu looking as beautiful as the day he first saw her making his chest tight and twist, he loved the beautiful women with his every being and only wished to be together with her once every is over and maybe just maybe..........start a family with her

"Oh! Zenitsu have you found anything?"
"No, I haven't found anything in the newspaper yet but we should investigate to find any leads"

Tanjiro's sweated knowing that now he had to find his uncle and take his blood while also trying to hide from his former friends and crush. Walking away quietly tanjiro made it to a small apartment where he would stay until he finds his uncle

Small time skip

The sun was setting by now and by this time Zenitsu and Inosuke went together to look for any leads on hantengu while Shinobu went on her own to find any leads

Tanjiro had taken this time to look for his uncle and search the city to find any leads, jumping down a building tanjiro sniffed the air but only smelled regular human scents

He went deeper into the city into the slums of the city sniffing the air but only smelled garbage making him a bit agitated, tanjiro walked through the empty streets trying to find his uncle

"Damn it! If only I could sense uncle han's presence then I would have found him by now!"

Sighing tanjiro walked in the streets stumbling upon a house with its lights off unlike the rest of the neighborhood who had all their lights on

"Strange, why would someone have their lights off?"

Tanjiro walked up to the house and caught whiff of the slit smell blood, tanjiro immediately broke the door down and entered the house quietly hearing chewing in the other room

He tipped toe and peaked inside the room too see his uncle eating a corpse sobbing quietly

"Not......happy......not even eating......makes me happy........"

Hantengu sobbed before he stopped eating dropping the severed arm on the man he was eating

"Tanjiro would have made me smile.........now I have nothing left........"

Tanjiro stiffen, he choked before tears weld up as he grit his teeth to prevent himself from crying. He and hantengu had a special bond, hantengu was easily scared and nervous around everyone so tanjiro had talked to his uncle almost making it a habit

He had hugged him and shown him affection to calm his nerves and stop him from crying, tanjiro only wanted his uncle to be more social and happy for being a 'victim' of accused murder

Tanjiro whipped away his tears and slowly inhaled a large amount of air to make this less painful for him and his uncle

"Sun breathing, first form: waltz"

Dashing forward at incredible speeds tanjiro aimed his sword at hantengu's arm, inches away from cutting his arms, hantengu immediately reacted and jumped away landing on the other side of the room
