In the cold winter of Japan a talk Nan with black hair and red eyes stared at the scenery. "There have been reports of people getting attacked by a young demon girl .." he mentioned walking around the empty forest . He noticed blood stains patterned on the snow . The man's sense of smell heightened as he heard random growls and whispers . Suddenly a claw sliced his cheek blood spilling everywhere. Muzan flinched at the pain , there he saw a girl with cat like pink eyes hissing at him. "So you are the girl that has been causing trouble... " he stated . The demon growled before running away deeper into the woods . Muzan ran after her but the demon was too fast . He grabbed his net trying to throw it at the female pink eyed demon .

"Shit " he breathed out, sunlight was coming soon and once that happens she would be nearly impossible to find without attracting unwanted attention. The moment he found her Muzan threw the net . The demon dodged, slashing Muzan in the shoulder. Blood spilled all over the white snow causing the 30 year old to gasp in pain . The demon growled, slicing Muzan once again before kicking him in the stomach flying back to a tree. Muzan breathed heavily stumbling to get up grabbing his net . "Please ..don't make this difficult.." he spat out , The demon hissed at him walking closer to him .

All of a sudden the demon stopped hearing strange noises . Within seconds a boy seemingly the same age as the demon bolted towards her throwing a serrated fan . The fan sliced her arm plopping the detached limb on the door . Before a single drop of blood could be spilled the demon regenerated a new arm . Now she was pissed , "Kaigaku ! I told you not to follow me ! " Muzan shouted . "And you are a shitty talentless fighter " Kaigaku replied dodging the demon. "Hey Nezuko long time no see " Kai blocked her punch turning into a demon himself. "Wait you know her ? " Muzan spat out blood , "Uh yeah I've been trying to catch her for 2 weeks now ' Kai mentioned "problem is she is stronger then she looks " .

Nezuko ran to Kaigaku managing to scratch his arm . The blue demon jumped up headbutting her. "However good news is that she lacks skill nothing but feralness inside that women.." Kai doged the punch only to get kicked in the face sending him a few feet. Kai landed like a cat standing up to Nezuko. The pink eyed demon debated fighting him as the sun started to rise . "If I can just keep him at a distance..." she thought to herself . Much to the demons surprise Kai jumped infront of her using the net for that trap.

Nezuko was clearly faster then Kai dodging and punching him . It was only thanks to his demon nature that he even survived. He cranked his knuckles breathing heavily as the took each other on landing dozens of punches in every blow blood spilling all over the snow. They fought within the shadows of the trees to avoid the sunlight. Kai manage to tackle Nezuko holding her on the wrists , "Don't.... forget... to take me me the hospital..." Muzan grabbed the net limping badly.

"Shut the fuck up and let me do my shit !" Kai shouted. Nezuko kicked him off taking Kai hair and shove him in the sunlight burning him alive . "AAAAHHHH " smoke came out of his skin until he turned into his human form . Still angry he started giving Nezuko a barrage of punches forcing her to block them all . "You could have you used the sword you have " Muzan pointed out . "Go pass out from blood loss " Kai Keith his attention on Nezuko who was still practicing the shadows. "You are so annoying " Nezuko spoke to him , "Says the one causing nothing but trouble for the villagers " Kai replied pulling his sword out "Now come with me ..". "If you take a step closer i will kill you " Nezuko warned him . "Now how can you kill me without a sword ? " Kai stepped onto the sunlight his blue sword raising high "Do it I dare you ..".

"I'll handle this " a familiar voice moved Kai . He an older teen with reddish pink hair and a distinctive blue mark on his eye . He carried no weapons but his fists alone . "Do you want to die ? " Nezuko got onto a cat stance , " I'm not scared to hit a girl " he got into his stance . Nezuko pounced on him aiming for his throat.

*crack*

With one kick to the stomach a bile of blood fell from her mouth as she crashed down knocking the demon out . Akaza carried her unconscious body "We have wasted enough time already ! Let's go . "Wait, you can't just steal my victory like that. It's complete bullshit! '' Kai spat out . "Kai we were sent here on a mission for a reason..I don't give a damn your victory " Akaza snarled . A few hours later Nezuko woke up covered in net and rope that was held by heavily injured Muzan and Kai . She then noticed the bamboo muzzle around her mouth . Anger boiled over the rose pink eyes causing as she struggled. "Don't bother in trying to escape " Kai raised a sword to her throat " Demons are much weaker in there human form therefore if I slit your throat that might end up killing you ...and we wouldn't want that-"

Nezuko simmered her face still showing venomous rage inside .

"You better pray I don't get out .." she told herself , however Kai was correct she just isn't as strong when sunlight hits her . "I think we should at least tell her we're going , '' Muzan mentioned. Akaza kept walking at a brisk pace carrying the three in a wooden carriage. " We are going to a place were demons have a better chance of surviving . It's pretty clear that you aren't well liked in this village...besides the demon slayers are coming...and if we don't get rid of you they will ..." he explained looking her in the eye "do you have any family in that village or are also demons ? " . Nezuko shook her head laying on Kai's lap so it would be easy to kill him later . "Then there is nothing to lose ..."Akaza whispered "Go to sleep I'll explain everything by nightfall " . Nezuko had lots of questions about what was going on however if it jent staying as far away from humans it was for the best .

Before she loses control once again....

Kai kept his sword near him just in case he might have to kill her …

"Family .........i have no family..."

A memory flash back from Nezuko mind. In the freezing winter the once human fell sick lying in bed . Blood poured out of her body in aching pain  , "Don't worry I'll will be here for you .." Tanjiro stated . Tanjiro and Nezuko grew in an orphanage due to the death of there parents ."I ...I feel horrible.." Nezuko closed her eyes . A few seconds later  she woke back , the pink pupils during into cat like eyes . "Nezuko  !" Tanjiro jumped up screaming as he  shakinly grabbed a stick . The other children grew terrified of Nezuko including the teachers who all ran for there lives at the sight of the demon . Tanjiro stood back frightened  thinking about what he should do next. "Tanjiro..." Nezuko reached her hands out . Tears flooded her eyes " I'm in so much pain ...." .   "Don't worry..I'll free you ..." Tanjiro accepted the hug.   "Nezuko...you need to leave..."  Tanjiro warned her "if you don't the demon slayers will get you .." .

"But ...I'm still a human  !?" Nezuko claimed her claws growing bigger . Tanjiro tried his best to stay calm as he didn't want to leave his sister side . "Do I have to start killing people...to make sure she doesn't go hungry ? " that thought crossed his mind . Will he turned into a serial killer just to keep her alive ? . Tanjiro shook his head . "SOMEONE HELP THERE IS A DEMON " one of the teachers shouted ."Nezuko " Tanjiro  patted her crying sister "You need to leave ...fast ". "How can I survive alone though ..." Nezuko kept sobbing.  Tanjiro grabbed her hand and started running out of the orphanage . They ran through the cold snow traveling endlessly for miles on end .

"Tanjiro !  where are you going ! " Nezuko shouted . "Do you remember that old cliff where our teacher told us to never go ?" Tanjiro mentioned.  "Yes ? " Nezuko knodded.  "There is a village far away from there " Tanjiro told here huffing and puffing "you will have to get away from this village forever..." . "Are you serious  !?" Nezuko squealed "Well will you come with me !?" . Tanjiro didn't answer instead  kept running until he saw the edge . Nezuko stood over the cliff full of jagged rocks and snow .

"I can't come with you Nezuko..the mere thought about killing and eating people makes my stomach turn ...but at the same time I don't want you to get killed " Tanjiro stated "This maybe the last time we will ever meet ". "I though you said you will be there for me !?" Nezuko pleaded.

"Nezuko  Demons lives completely different worlds from humans!  Let's say I were to be there for you..I'll have to start killing people to keep you alive ! " Tanjiro paused for a moment "I'm setting you free because if I can't live with myself if you die because of me ...demons shouldn't be forced to live a human life they need need be set free away from people " tears started flowing out of Tanjiro "I know you would do the same for me " . He gave Nezuko a long deep hug thar lasted a while . "I'm sorry Nezuko..." Tanjiro pushed her off the cliff,  "TANJIRO  ! " Nezuko screamed turned into echoes her body vanishing into the mist fog . A slight crunch was heard . "I'm sorry Nezuko..." Tanjiro bowed before walking away onto the winter snow .

2 years ago has passed since that dreadful memory happened.  The teenager  sleeped softly . "Wakey wakey newcomer " a giant man with rainbow eyes attempted to wake her up . "Douma  leave her alone " Akaza now in his demon form  rolled eyes . "Was it  nessary to tie her up though ? " a teenager name Gyutaro spoke up "She looks super harmless " . "Tell that to my bruised face ! " Muzan complained ."Either way it doesn't matter " another teen name Rui got closer to Nezuko "No one can escape my webs without causing serious harm to themselves " .

Rui rubbed Nezuko cheek "Come on sleepy head wake up...". The humans eye opened up seeing the group of strangers.  Within a split second Nezuko slashed Rui face , "AHH " he screamed . Nezuko struggled to get out of the webs that sliced her body . "WHERE THE FUCK AM I ? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU DEMONS !? "  she cursed and hissed at them trying to escape.  "Listen I know this looks bad but - " Before douma could finish  Nezuko manage to kick his jaw off . Rui wrapped more webs around her but only succeeded in pissing her off more. "I told you this was a terrible idea !? " Kai screamed at Douma . As soon as the demon regenerated his jaw he defended himself . "Well we had to keep her wrapped up and Rui thought it was a good idea ! " . "Did somebody say put someone to sleep  ! "  A demon named Enmu checked outvwhat was going on. "No we didn't  .." Kai stared at him .

"Let's try anyway ! " Enmu walked to Nezuko trying to use his pocket watch on her . "AAAHH HE BIT ME !" He cried out . Gyutaro tackled her putting her in a coke hold  . "Look i know this looks bad but my name is Gyutaro if  you could just calm down for 5 seconds " . Nezuko sunk her fangs into him dripping blood everywhere.  "I wouldn't do that if I were you ..." he warned her . Nezuko felt intense pain from her mouth as it blistered from the burning acid . In a ditch effort she pushed him off of her . Nezuko felt dizzy all over again like sun has cooked her up from the inside . Her horn disappeared and she could feel herself getting weaker  . "A shit ..." Gyutaro caught her fall . "Gyutaro what the hell !?" Akaza face palm. "Hey  she bit ME not the other way around! " Gyutaro mentioned.

"Ahh gross " Nezuko wiped the blood off , she could feel numbness in her jaw "Gross gross GROSS " . Nezuko fell on the floor in utter defeat she looked around noticing that she has turned human once again  . Instead of fear like they expected  Nezuko was annoyed.  "Great now I'm in a room full of demons " she sighed.
