Your entire body vibrates violently the moment your blade makes contact with the boulder. "Ahh! That fucking hurts!" You screamed.
"Are you alright, (Y/N)? It doesn't hurt after a few minutes." Tanjiro said. He picked up a few English words after living with you for a year.
"Easy for you to say! Your boulder is a lot smaller than mine!" You yelled. Tanjiro smiles before he backs away from you. Oh no! Best boi's scared of me! Your (s/c) cheeks flushed a rosy hue while avoiding eye contact. "Um...I know it's been a year since it happened, but thank you." You blushed.
"For what?" Tanjiro asked.
"For not mentioning that I have a demon brother to Grandpa Urokodaki. I don't know how he'll react knowing my brother is out somewhere, possibly eating humans."
"Because I have faith that you'll find him and change him back to a human. Besides, I would've done the same thing if Nezuko had run off. I'll do everything in my power to keep her safe."
Your mouth gape open a bit before smiling at him. "You really have that much faith in me after you saw my carnage that night?"
Tanjiro's smile falters a bit before smiling wider. "I admit you scared me that night. You have so much hate and you took it out on the wrong demon. But you still haven't lost your true self. Your kindness is still there and it's growing stronger each day. I want to see more of that after we rescue your brother. "
You blushed again after hearing his kind words. You pick up your sword and got to a battle stand." Enough chit-chat! Let's break these boulders!"
"Right!"
It's been six months since you've been tasked to cut your boulder, but you made no progress. You didn't even make a dent nor have you mastered a single form. It's not fair! Every morning the two of you would spar and practice your Total Concentration Breathing. Tanjiro even tried to help you with learning the Water Technique, but to no avail.
Tanjiro is feeling the same as you. Not a single scratch was made on his boulder during the past six months. And now his hands are starting to blister. He angrily bangs his head against the boulder. "Keep working, Tanjiro! You can do it!" He screams.
You were about to cheer him up when a voice cuts you off.
"Shut up!"
That voice! Can it be we're about to do this part already!
You both look up to see flowing pink hair and a fox mask. It's your boy, Sabito! He's sitting on top of the boulder staring down at Tanjiro. Yes! You're about to get trained by the real Water Hashira! *sorry, Giyu* You straighten yourself up and walk over to Tanjiro's boulder.
"A man shouldn't whine. It's unseemly. No matter how you suffer, bear it in silence if you're a man." Sabito spoke. He jumps off the boulder and swings his sword at Tanjiro. Tanjiro easily blocks it, but Sabito manages to kick him.
"Tanjiro!" You called out. I know people will gladly let pinky stomp on them, but I'm different. You tried to discreetly swing your sword at him, but he easily blocks it and swipes your legs. You landed roughly on the ground and you suddenly see his wooden blade pointing at the tip of your nose. He's so fast! I didn't see him moving his sword at my face.
"Slow. Weak. Immature. That's not what you call a man." Sabito said.
"Um, I'm a girl. So those words don't apply to me." You stated.
