Author's Note: Hey everyone. Sorry for not posting in a while. Was busy with other stories, also had a bit of writer's block. But now...I'm back on track

So, expect this story to catch up big time. That's all I wanted to say. Thanks and enjoy the story.

Atop the Infinite Train…

.

As the train continued to move at its speed, Minoru's coat fluttered constantly as the wind passed him by. Turning around, Enmu faced his enemy and smiled.

.

"Took a while, but I finally found you." Minoru spoke.

"Tsk. You're just a waste of time." Enmu clicked his tongue at the pseudo-demon's sight.

"Waste of time. Funny you should say that, considering…I know where you actually body is." Minoru smiled wickedly, causing Enmu's fight or flight response to kick in and devour the man in an instant.

"You should always watch your surroundings." Enmu had begun to laugh, only for him to spit up blood.

"You should take your own advice, you know?" Minoru walked up from behind Enmu and began to clean his hands with a handkerchief. "Out of all the demons Lily created, I'm the one who act more like a gentleman than anyone around me." As he let go of the handkerchief, it fluttered in the wind and far past the train as it left.

"What did you do?" Enmu spoke as he continued to cough up blood.

"Me? I simply had a visit with your true body. In about week, you'll feel a pain far greater than you have ever felt in your life. Consider it my gift to you." Minoru smiled a gentleman's smile. "It's best if you suffered now, so you can at least be used to it when you get your ticket to Hell. Oh, and don't worry, I already have mine's, so I'll be seeing you very soon." And with that Minoru disappeared.

"Even if you hide on this train, I will find you. I'll just continue to consume everyone on this train and kill anyone who stands in my way." Enmu's ultimatum was spoken to himself and no one else.

At the Butterfly Estate…

.

Dodging, jumping, spinning, Kanao Tsuyuri was trying her best on avoiding her enemy, Nezuko Kamado. As the boys, Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu just watched as Nezuko began to close the distance. In the month she had been away with Joichirou, they all saw a significant improvement in her movements, not once using any extra movement.

Breathing in a different way from the way she usually breaths, Nezuko flipped up in the air, and grabbed a hold of Kanao's shoulders, at least for the time being. Her excess weight caused both girls to tumble forward and fall towards the ground with elegance. Pushing herself off the ground, Nezuko looked down towards the ground to see Kanao looking up at her. Embarrassed at the situation, Nezuko spoke.

.

"This…isn't what it looks like." But without warning, Kanao placed her hand on Nezuko's face, and tossed her aside. "I had that coming."

"That…that was amazing, Nezuko!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he approached his sister to give her a hand. "How did you get so fast? And in a month no less."

"I had a great teacher." Nezuko answered with an embarrassed smile.

.

As the other boys looked with envy, they looked at each other and walked out of the dojo.

.

"Where are those two going?" Nezuko asked, only to begin hearing yells and screams.

"Oh, I guess they're training again." Tanjiro answered with a calm face.

"You call yelling training?" Nezuko looked with confusion plastered on her face.

.

As the two Kamado siblings continued to talk, Kanao placed her left hand on her right shoulder, then looked back at Nezuko. For the first time, Kanao felt what it was like to lose. But it didn't bother as much, in fact she began to feel a different emotion. Something she was not used to.

.

One Week Later…

As everyone began to say their goodbyes, Nezuko placing Kaguya in the small box that was meant for her. As she walked out of the room, box strapped to her shoulders, she walked down the hallway only to see Tanjiro waving Kanao goodbye. Seeing Kanao hold onto something close to her heart, Nezuko approached her quietly.

.

"If you want him, you can take him." Nezuko spoke, spooking Kanao and having her fall flat on her face onto the ground. "My bad."

.

As the group began to leave…

.

Tanjiro had set his sights on the location where a certain pillar was, while Nezuko was sent in another location. Before leaving Nezuko handed the box carrying Kaguya and passed it onto Tanjiro.

.

"Be careful, please." Nezuko spoke.

"I will." Tanjiro reassured his sister as he began to leave with Inosuke and Zenitsu who was complaining about not getting the same mission as Nezuko.

.

Laughing embarrassingly, Nezuko watched as the three boys disappeared off into the distance. Then turning around, Nezuko walked back to the estate. As she did, Nezuko ran into Shinobu.

.

"Oh, Shinobu." Nezuko spoke.

"They left already?" Shinobu asked.

"They did." Nezuko answered as she looked back on the path that her brother walked.

1 Hour Later…

.

"WHAT?!" Zenitsu yelled as he began to shake Tanjiro furiously. "You mean to tell me that I could've gone with Nezuko because this wasn't a mission!"

"I'm sorry, but you both decided to follow me. So, don't get angry with me. Please?!" Tanjiro began to beg as he began to see his world spin faster and faster.

"Shut up!" Inosuke yelled as he slammed his head into both Tanjiro and Zenitsu's back. "Let get a move on!"

.

Then, the trio began their journey once again. But as Tanjiro began to run, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something. Even though it was quick, he knew exactly what it was. A woman dressed in what he believed was a light blue kimono, smelling a blue colored flower. Stunned by the sudden appearance of a person in the middle of nowhere, Tanjiro stopped himself and looked, only to see no one there.

.

"Tanjiro, what's wrong?" Zenitsu asked as he saw Tanjiro staring into the bamboo forest.

"No, it's nothing." Tanjiro answered as he began to catch up with the other two boys.

.

Several minutes later…

.

As the woman dressed in a light blue kimono that had snow patterns on her right side showed herself. As the boys finally left her sight, she smiled wickedly. Then placing her hand on her face, she spoke.

.

"I…found…you, Tan~ji~ro." The woman sang Tanjiro's name as she began to walk opposite of the boy's direction.

.

Back on Mount Natagumo…

.

As Joichirou and Nezuko began to look around the vast forest that once belonged to Lower Moon 5, Nezuko shivered.

.

"Are you alright, Ms. Kamado?" Joichirou asked as he continued to walk farther into the forest.

"You can just call me Nezuko. Ms. Kamado was my mother." Nezuko answered as she closed the distance between her and Joichirou. "And I really don't like being here. It really freaks me out."

"It's best if you get rid of those emotions." Joichirou answered.

"Why?" Nezuko asked.

"There was a certain skill that was taught in my family. When you rid yourself of your human emotions, another world opens up to you." Joichirou answered. "I've tried teaching it to others but in the end, they couldn't handle it. Even Ozaki had difficulty."

"Really?" Nezuko spoke to herself as she began to remember hearing something similar before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "I'm sure I've heard about the world that Joichirou was talking about, but I can't seem to remember." But as her eyes were closed, Nezuko didn't realize Joichirou stopping and bumped into his broad back. "Ow!" Nezuko exclaimed as she began to rub her nose. "Why did you stop?!" But as she looked at Joichirou, Nezuko noticed the 40 year old man hold his index finger up towards his mouth to silence her.

.

As Nezuko began to quiet down, that's when she heard what Joichirou heard. The sound of something slithering across the leaf filled ground, making its presence known to those who wandered the forest. Slowly placing her hand upon her handle of her blade, Nezuko readied herself as she began to looked around slowly. Then without warning, the sound of a blade swung through the air. As Nezuko turned around, she noticed Ozaki behind her, with her sword in plain view.

.

"Oh, papa. Nezuko. What are you doing here?" Ozaki asked as she stabbed her blade into the ground.

"Ozaki?!" Nezuko exclaimed. "You were here?"

"Yeah. I received an order from the Master to find something out. But lately I've haven't had any luck. But then, this…" As Ozaki crouched down, she looked at the tip of her blade. "This had been slithering around the forest for quite some time and it has been bothering me."

"So, the reason why you haven't contacted me was because you were busy trying to find where this 'thing' was." Joichirou asked as he pointed at the hair-looking object.

"Sorry." Ozaki answered in an embarrassed tone.

.

As the now trio began to look around the forest, they continued to hear the echoing of slithers coming from all around.

.

"Well…" Joichirou answered. "This is going to be fun."

.

Later that night, aboard the Infinity Train…

.

"Yahoo! This is amazing! Amazing, I say!" Inosuke yelled out the window of the moving train as it zipped through the land at a high speed. "Alright! I'm going to run along side it and see who's fastest!"

"Don't you idiot!" Zenitsu began to tug and pull on Inosuke as the boar boy himself tried to climb out the window. "There's no way you can beat this vehicle!"

"Let go!" Inosuke began to fight back as Zenitsu struggled to keep his grip on the boy.

"No, you…have to stay in the train!" Unaware of the chaos they were causing, many eyes began to look in the two boy's direction, all the while Tanjiro began to apologize profusely for making so much noise.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Tanjiro continued his apologies as his two partners were struggling in the background. But just as Tanjiro was about to apologize once more, a familiar scent flowed past Tanjiro's nose. "Zenitsu, Inosuke."

"Yeah. I feel it." Inosuke answered as he changed his attention towards the newly found demon. "Let's go kill it." The boar boy said as he began to place his hands on his blade when Zenitsu spoke up.

.

"Wait. Both of you look around." As both Tanjiro and Inosuke looked around they noticed everyone as still as stone. Confused by this, Tanjiro placed his hand on one person's shoulders only to go through it.

"It's like a mirage of sorts. Do you think that this is the demon's blood art?" But before anyone had a chance to answer, someone spoke up before them.

"It's mine, Tanjiro Kamado." The voice spoke from behind the trio.

.

As Tanjiro and Inosuke turned around, Zenitsu froze from fear. As both teenage boys held their hands on their swords, the only person able to move was looking at a newspaper. Then folding the paper up, he began to stand. Seeing this as a threat, Inosuke rushed forward.

.

"You're dead!" The boar masked boy yelled as he began his approach. "Breath of the Beast: 8th Fang: Pig Assault!" But before he could swing his blades, the demon in front of him caught the blades with his bare hands. "What?!"

"I'd be careful if I were you. I'm only messing with people's sights, not their physical body. If you swing your blades when there are so many people, you could end up killing someone." Minoru spoke. "Beside, I only have business with the red haired boy behind you."

.

After letting go of Inosuke's blades, Minoru looked at his hands, and began to see them heal instantly. Smiling at the sight, he began to clench his fist.

.

"Damn. Being a demon really does have its perks." Minoru spoke.

"What do you want?" Tanjiro asked, clearly on edge.

"Don't bother being so tense, my good sir. I only wish to talk to Kaguya, since I still have to introduce myself to her." Minoru spoke.

"Wait you…you know…?" Looking at the box that hung from his back, Tanjiro began to shake. "How do I know you won't kill her?"

"If I wanted to, I could've killed you all." Minoru spoke. "But, sadly, she would've prevented that from happening, even if she was exhausted." Then without warning, he lifted his right hand and showed a star-like emblem on the back of his hand. "This insignia is the only proof you need to know that I am loyal to Lily, or in this case, Kaguya."

.

Then walking up without making a sound, Kaguya, her eyes glowing a menacing red began to approach as she began to age from an infant form, to a 13 year old. Kneeling down, Minoru bowed before Kaguya's presences. All the while, Tanjiro was astonished at how Kaguya managed to move without him noticing.

Then without saying a word, Kaguya walked back and placed herself back in the wooden box and shut the door. Getting up, Minoru turned his attention fully towards Tanjiro.

.

"Tanjiro Kamado." Minoru spoke. "Listen well. Lower Moon 1 is here. I've managed to keep him at bay. This world you see before you kept your allies safe for the time being, but it won't hold. If something were to happen to the train itself, the mirage will fade as well. They are currently…" Then walking up close, Minoru whispered into Tanjiro's ear, before backing up and pointing towards the front of the train. "I leave the rest to you." Then the world before them vanished. As it did, the three boys noticed the sun beginning to set just below the horizon.
