The Beginning of Dusk

I was on my way to school with my sister, Nezuko Kamado. We were going 5 minutes later than usual so we were in a hurry. Nezuko forgot her lunch so I gave her mine. I brought extra money so I didn't need to go back home. Anyway, it was almost time for class and if we were late, we would damage our record and that is not on my mind.

My name is Tanjiro Kamado, I live with my Sister Nezuko Kamado. We are Orphans. My father, Tanjuro Kamado, died when I was around 8 years old. I had 4 siblings aside from Nezuko, Shigeru Kamado, Rokuta Kamado, Takeo Kamado, and Hanako Kamado. Which unfortunately were killed with my mother Kie Kamado in Cold blood. Since then I have been taking care of Nezuko.

Our life has never been easy since then. We study at Kimetsu High; we got a scholarship because we are prodigies and we had excellent grades in our school before our family died. We are almost at the institution. By little and we made it.

—Onii-chan we're almost there— says a pink-eyed girl with black hair with orange streaks that radiated an aura of happiness while running with a bread in her mouth. —Are you excited, Nezuko? —She is asked by a Redhead who shows the same Aura as his Sister.

—How could I not be? I will spend time with my friends, are you not happy to see your girlfriend big brother...? — Nezuko replies with a mischievous voice. This action caused the redhead to blush at the thought of his crush, Kanao Tsuyuri. —Kanao Senpai is not my girlfriend Nezuko! ... Yet— The eldest of the Kamados remarked to his Sister.

—Oh yeah, but you have like dozens of pictures about her on your computer—Nezuko says, remembering the day he checked his brother's computer and managed to see all those photos of Tsuyuri. —How do you know that?! —Tanjiro asks when he sees that his sister knows about the contents of his computer.

—I checked your computer while you were at the park with Zenitsu and Inosuke. By the way, why are you so shy around her? She is very nice to you. In fact, it shows that she would reciprocate if you had the balls to confess— Says Nezuko annoying the Kamado for having broken into her privacy and for her new vocabulary.

—Nezuko! I already told you not to hang out with Inosuke and Zenitsu so much! And by the way you are forbidden to check my computer! - Tanjiro yells angrily and with some grace when remembering his 2 best friends. —Yeah sure, be grateful that you have me as your sister who gives you women's advice. In fact, if you didn't have me as your sister, anyone would think you're Gay, thanks to all the jokes you do with Inosuke and Zenitsu while yall play Fall Guys— Nezuko says while he laughs, embarrassing the Kamado.

After the talk between brothers, they both enter the school and both brothers say goodbye to go to their respective classrooms. It should be said that Tanjiro is a year older than his sister. Which are currently low marks due to a lot of laziness.

—Okay, see you later Nezuko. Stay out of trouble and pay attention. Your grades are low and we need to keep them high to keep our scholarship— Tanjiro warns his sister. —Ok, ok I promise to improve. You better confess once and for all instead of spending most of your time with the boys— Nezuko tells him with a mocking tone and then turns around and goes in the opposite direction from Tanjiro.

Suddenly shouts of different people are heard in the distance. One of those screams was from a shrill voice and the other from a robust voice. These voices were too easy to distinguish after all, he has been holding the cries of those 2 people for years although you may think that those stupidities disturb people but its actually the opposite. People really enjoy the interactions between that distinguished group of friends that even a guy with depression would laugh at them.

—What stupidity they must have done now ... — He asks himself while heading to the direction of the screams of his Friends, but as he was walking, he collides with someone causing them both to fall to the ground. —I'm really sorry, I wasn't paying attention. — Tanjiro tells the unseen person to later take a seat on the ground still while scratching the back of his neck. —I-its f-fine, it was also my fault I was also quite distracted—Responds the person I collided with.

After she has said that Tanjiro manages to recognize whose voice it was of the person with whom he collided. And that person was his crush Kanao Tsuyuri. One year older than him. One gone to Kimetsu High with quite a few followers going after her. He has been in love since the first time he met her. Needless to say, Kanao was also in love with him. After all, he was the one who has helped her on several occasions.

—Oh, Hi Kanao Senpai, I didn't mean to bump into you, I was trying to hear Zenitsu and Inosuke's screams so I was more focused on trying to hear them instead of looking my way. Tanjiro says to Tsuyuri while looking into her eyes.

—It's okay ... I already said it wasn't your fault I was a little off-focus anyway. There was a boy who proposed to me and I rejected him and now I feel bad about it ...—Kanao says innocently with his head bowed.

—Kanao ... The fact of you rejecting him shouldn't make you feel sad ... If that person was actually in love with you then he shouldn't feel sad about being rejected, in fact, he should partly feel happy because the person you like will find their happiness with or without someone else— Tanjiro says while looking at her with a look that expressed tranquility.

—Thank you Tanjiro, you always know how to make me feel better—Tsuyuri says and then embraces Tanjiro. —Kanao Senpai I'll always help you when you need it ...— Tanjiro says shyly as he hugs Kanao back. —Well, I think I should go now, I have to control the boys and arrive before the teacher enters the room—Tanjiro says and then cut the hug with Kanao.

—Sure, see you later, Tanjiro— says the violet eye to then continue in the direction where he was going. Tanjiro after having lost his vision to Kanao proceeds to continue walking to later find the comical scene of a student with a Boar mask fighting an Albino teacher with many scars around his body.

—Let go of me old! — A wild boar shouts at the albino when he is held by it. —How did you call me you fucking pig ?!— The math teacher yells at the student. —Let me go you old shit! — Inosuke answers pissed off.

—Just because my damn hair is white it doesn't mean I'm old you shitty pig! —Shouts the teacher again with a voice full of fury.Next to Inosuke you can see a blonde trying to stop his pig friend's tantrum towards the teacher. —Inosuke stop insulting him, you will only put us in worse trouble damn Peppa pig with steroids! - He turned the blonde to his friend.

—What did you call me Pikachu on discount ?!— Asks Inosuke angrily while being held by the teacher. —Shut up stupid pig and for the thousandth time stop telling me like that! - The blonde yells back. As the fight between friends and teacher continues, our favorite Redhead arrives.

—Sanemi Sensei, I apologize for all the stupid things my friends have done—Tanjiro tells him with a gentle and calm tone. —Tch, good, but if I see a disaster again, I'll give you all a bit of discipline— warns the teacher as he snaps his wrist bones and then leaves the conversation.

—Well now that he's gone, take it easy, we don't want any more problems than we already have thanks to both of you. Now we let's get to class, although I think we already passed the first class— Tanjiro says while checking his wristwatch.

Zenitsu POV

After Tanjiro had calmed down Inosuke, we headed our way towards class and indeed the teacher had already arrived, it was the three of us who stayed outside the classroom until class was over. I honestly don't know how Tanjiro hasn't gone crazy over our nonsense. Anyone would go crazy with our screams and rampages. I think he supports us because he is literally an angel .... No wonder he even has a club of Fangirls .... God damn lucky ....

After Iguro Sensei's class has finished, we enter the classroom, check the schedule and indeed we are going to History with Rengoku Sensei. Tanjiro Kyojuro Rengoku's favorite teacher and role model. History teacher and one of the favorites of many for his way of increasing a person's self-esteem and how to make them look forward and forget the past.

I pass class and eventually it was recess. Tanjiro told us to go ahead to the cafeteria. and that he would take a nap because he was a little tired from the game night we had. It was worth it; we won a lot of Fall Guys games. It does have me a little worried though. Other times we have played later and he has never been taking naps. What will happen to him now?

Tanjiro's dream

—Hey? Where I am now? — Asked the redhead when he saw that he was no longer in his school. —This is a fortress? — It's quite confusing, it almost looks like abstract art—Tanjiro mentions when he sees how crazy the place where he is looks. —I feel chills around my body ... I have a bad feeling about this, wait what am I even wearing? — Tanjiro asks when he manages to see all the clothes he was wearing.

—A haori of black and green squares? — - He whispers in the form of a question in a low voice when he can see what he is wearing. —I also have a black uniform and a Katana? — Tanjiro asks in his mind. —Hmmm .... What if I do this? —

—Asks Tanjiro as he takes the katana out of its place and proceeds to see how it changes color to a crimson red blade. —Wooow, she's beautiful ... I remember Rengoku Sensei told us about the predominant color-changing katanas like Nichirinto and about a Demon Hunting Organization that dissolved in the Taisho era when they defeated the Demon King ... If I have this on, am I in the Taisho era? —Tanjiro narrates and then wonders in a low voice.

After he has asked himself that question, he manages to distinguish a rotten smell ... A smell of Blood ... - Behind—Tanjiro shouts in his mind to then do a somersault and manage to dodge the attack of his enemy. —Wait .... Since when am I so agile? ... I feel much stronger .... What is the meaning of this? — The redhead wonders in his mind.

But what he does not realize is that thanks to being distracted he was stabbed in the eye by what appeared to be a katana just like his, but without reaching his brain to suffer. —Rengoku-sensei? — Tanjiro murmurs with what little breath he has left and then proceeds to fall to the ground, but before he does, he manages to see the appearance of his enemy and the message that he wanted to give him.

—"I'm not a traitor, just kill my old self." —
