Recap of last chapter:

"Oh my god! Why do you have such a pretty person on your shoulder!? Are they hurt? What's wrong with them?" I sighed and I decided to tell him the story along the way. Because funny enough we were assigned to the same spot.

~~the next chapter~~
ps this is still in Tanjiro's POV...

This mansion turned out to be farther than we thought so we set up camp for the night and then I decided to tell him the story where (Y/N) came in. Well I wanted to.. Because when we stopped at the site we decided to call our campsite for the night I could feel (Y/N) stir a bit as they began to wake up. They began rubbing their eyes as they adjusted to the darkness but when they saw Zenitsu, they quickly hid behind a tree. "Tanjiro... who the hell is this blonde?" "Oh, (Y/N), right, you were asleep when we met. This is Zenitsu and he is coming with us on our mission!" "Do you make friends wherever you go..?"They said with a sort of grumble in their tone. I laughed a bit and patted a spot on the log I found so they could sit with me. "Wow you're even more gorgeous when you're awake!!" I could smell the anger begin to rise from (Y/N) and I had to quickly calm them down before they would lash out on Zenitsu. "Who are you anyway.. Because I have a feeling that (Y/N) is not your real name." Zenitsu said to (Y/N) with such a sceptical face. "Oh, right, umm, well that is my real name. Sorry to hear you don't like it... but you might know me better as a legendary slayer that doesn't work with the corps or anyone in fact." I just silently watched as (Y/N) made Zenitsu's eyes sparkle. And the whole time I didn't even notice how she just managed to conceal their face the whole time while introducing themselves to Zenitsu. But all of a sudden (Y/N) came back with a large chunk of wood and they began carving it. "What are you doing?" Zenitsu asked her. "I need a new mask if you want my help.. Plus I need my identity concealed as much as possible." "But Tanjiro has seen your face... Why shouldn't others see it too?" Right after he asked them that they began quickly whittling like an inhuman carpenter and then finished the mask so fast it was scary. (Y/N) quickly pricked their finger and painted it with their blood which sort of freaked me out a bit but in the end it looked really cool. But then I could really tell it was getting late so I told everyone to go to bed and we could finish this discussion in the morning.

3rd POV..

As the three of them continued on their journey towards this mansion they ended up finding it rather easily. It was completely abandoned and they even found two kids cowering in the bushes. They explained to the three of them what happened but that was when Zenitsu broke down. He began balling and screaming that he was going to die if he ever entered that building and he had no idea what was going to happen. But then they all decided to enter the mansion, soon accompanied by the frightened children in search of demons and their lost brother in orange clothing. (Y/N) split off from the original group, but so did Tanjiro and Zenitsu because they got separated by a demon who would play a drum that would move the house or change rooms. But there was another entity in the house running around looking for demons to slay. Everyone ended up getting lost and separated but also everyone ended up having to fight their own demons. Zenitsu was left with this one demon who stretched out their tongue to do its bidding and Tanjiro was left with that powerful demon who changed the whole house with his drumming. But along the way (Y/N) did end up interacting with that mysterious entity that was running around. They were a demon slayer like everyone else that was there and they had to fight him since the mysterious entity thought of them as a dangerous demon which has been proved to be false. But the fight went on for a while until their foe got distracted by a different demon and decided to go attack them instead leaving (Y/N) behind and with them very confused. But lucky for (Y/N), they left their mask on the whole time. But eventually after a long battle Tanjiro had many injuries with the drumming demon he finished it with one of his water forms and killed him. But before the demon turned to ash Tanjiro expressed his respect for the demon with his technique and the demon respected him as he died. Then Tanjiro got the kids that came in with him and the brother they were looking for and quickly headed out of the building. And lucky for him his partners were already waiting for him. But since Tanjiro left Nezuko in her box outside to be protected he still needed it to be protected from the boar man who had figured out that there was a demon inside. He beat Zenitu for protecting it but then Tanjiro stepped in and all was well with the world. But that did require Tanjiro to knock him out with a blow to the head with his own. But once we laid him down to rest and we saw his face without his boar head mask. He had such a sweet face... Well (Y/N) thought so(AN: unless u dont like Inozuke... sorry ms.author over here simps for almost anyone.. Including Inozuke). But when he woke up he woke up to (Y/N) looking down and him making sure he was not dead or anything in his sleep. But that pissed boar head off very much.

"What are you staring at demon?!"
"I was making sure you weren't dead, but I guess you're not."
"What is with this guy and bringing demons with him wherever he goes..?"
"Well I hunt demons thank you very much, you just happened to get to the target before me."
"Well that's because I, Inoskue, am the best demon slayer in all the land!"

(Y/N) rolled their eyes under their mask towards him but as he sat up he demanded a re match with Tanjiro but he refused. But then his head turned towards (Y/N) but they did not want to fight him either unless they truly had to. He grumbled to himself and muttered, "I wonder what demon is keeping under that mask. Probably an ugly demon face." But with Zenitsu's stellar hearing he heard his negative mutters and got heavily offended and yelled at Inosuke. "(Y/n) is not an ugly demon!! They are beautifully perfect!" But Inosuke shot back at him saying, "Oh yeah! How would you know! You probably have never seen her face!" Zenitsu knew he had but as (Y/N) watched what was happening in front of them, they knew that they never wanted Zenitsu to see their face but he only saw it because she was sleeping and it was right after her original mask had broke due to a fight with Tanjiro before he let her live with respect flowing through him. Plus if Zenitsu were to be perfectly honest he barely even saw her face. Just a sliver.

Back to (Y/N)'s POV...

I watched Inosuke basically have a shouting match against Zenitsu and it was starting to really irritate me. They were yelling about my face and how Zenitsu found me beautiful. I think I may have caught myself blushing because my face started to get warm. But then Inosuke still wanted to see my face and everything and I could tell. But then I came up with a plan. So I came up with a proposition for the boy boar. And yes that is my new nickname for Inozuke. "Hey, Inosuke, you want to see my face right?" "Yeah, I bet it looks super evil and demonic under that mask!" "Well then I bet you might be able to figure it out if you can guess how old I am!" This seemed to shock Inosuke and it almost made me giggle by his expression. He started thinking and started observing me from all angles. As Inosuke was inspecting me all over Tanjiro and Zenitsu were wondering the same thing about me. I could hear Zenitsu mutter, "I wonder how old she really is..? Because she looks pretty short to be like an adult so she can't be that old..." A little tick mark appeared on my masked face as I heard that comment slip through Zenitsu's mouth. I hated being called short.(AN: if you are not short im sry the author is and so you will just have to imagine you are)I mean it was true, I was pretty short, but I have met people who were shorter so it wasn't really a big deal. Then as I got lost in thought Inosuke stopped inspecting me and asked me one final question before he made his guess. "So you want me to guess your physical age or your real age... since you are in fact a demon who could live forever..." "Well what a good question you asked! I want you to guess how old I really am." He grumbled to himself and started thinking again. Then he "figured me out" and gave it his all in his guess. "Ok I got it! Your real age is.... Tanjiro gave me a drum roll." Tanjiro obliged and began patting his legs. "You are about 14 and a half!!" Both boys stared at me with anticipation lighting their eyes awaiting my answer. "I'm sorry Inosuke, you are incorrect. But you were really close to my physical appearance. I turned at just 15!" Zenitsu quickly cut in and began begging me to tell my story on how I got turned. I shook my head and told them to get moving since they were probably extremely injured. They all groaned at me for suggesting something we should have started doing a while ago but I ignored their groans and just began walking. That definitely got Zenitsu going because he was going to continue to beg me for my life story which I would not give him. Then eventually Tanjiro and Inosuke followed along not soon after. Tanjiro's crow was leading us to our next destination.
