You talked with Inosuke's friends for the rest of the night and tried to use his real name, which was hard to do since you always called him Forest. Inosuke never felt so heartbroken or jealous over something that didn't matter before. But he was. He was jealous of your parents for being able to stay here with you, jealous of his friends for making you laugh like he made you laugh, and worst of jealous of your normal life that he didn't know he wanted until you came along.

"Would you like to spend the night here, you three?" Your mother asked as Tanjiros's sister Nezuko came out of her box.

Tanjiro explained to your family that she was allergic to the sun, so she had to be in the box. Also, her bamboo muzzle was for her to get out of unwanted attention. You could relate to it, and neither of your parents questioned it, and neither did your brother or you, but you had a weird feeling Inosuke was lying to you.

"Do you want to sleep next to me?" You asked Inosuke as he looked at you oddly.

"Do you want to even though I have my memory back?" He asked.

"That doesn't matter to me. You will still be my friend," you said as he saw the other three making themselves at home.

"Sure," he said as he made his bed next to you.

You two were sharing the same bed since he put his almost on top of yours. You two lay down next to each other, and Zenitsu looked at you shocked seeing him wanting to cuddle up with you.

"Good night, Forest. I mean Inosuke, sorry I'm still getting used to your real name. Are you excited to go home?" You asked, realizing you forgot to ask him.

"I guess, but I like being here with you," he said softly.

"Well, you can visit any time you want. We will be around here for a couple of months before we go back to the other town," you smiled.

"Okay," he said as you turned around and started to head to sleep.

You didn't get it. He knew you didn't, but he didn't even know if you wanted a guy like him around. Once you were asleep, he put his arm around you, knowing it was going to be the last time he was ever going to be able to do it. He didn't want it to be, but it was going to be.

In the morning, you got up and started packing things up for all of them to go on a journey. Extra food, water the clothes you made for Inosuke. Inosuke woke up first and saw you working away like you always did, but before he could say anything, his two friends were awake.

"Good morning, guys! Ready to go?" You asked Tanjiro nodded.

"Thank you for saving our friend. we owe you so much!" Tanjiro said as you smiled.

"You owe me nothing. I am always happy to help, oh before I forget. Here Inosuke," you said as you put his boar head on.

"Be careful from now on, I don't want to find you like I did the first time again," you said as you hugged him close.

He hugged you back and was trying hard not to cry. He didn't want to leave you. He wanted to stay with you forever and tell you he loved you.

"Bye, stay away from that creep," he said as you laughed.

"He hasn't bothered since you punched him in the face. Plus, now I can punch him back," you said s you made a fist, but he fixed your hand, making you laugh again.

"Okay, so I might break my hand doing it, but I know how to do it," you said as he nodded.

"Sure you do," he said as he paused weakly.

You gave him a bag of everything he was going to need, food, clothes, some medicine just in case he got hurt again.

"Thank you for everything," he said as you nodded, then hugged him one last time.

"Not a problem, bye, guys! Come back anytime!" You said as they headed off.

After a couple of hundred feet away from the house, they got a mission and started to head over to the demon.

"We are glad to have you back. You had us worried," Tanjiro smiled as Inosuke sighed.

"What's wrong? You haven't been yourself since you left. Not even a smart remark," Tanjiro pointed out.

"Is Y/n single? She's really pretty. I was thinking the next time we see her," Zenitsu was instructed by Inosuke, who rammed right into him with his head.

"Don't you even think about it!!" Inosuke growled.

"There he is," Tanjiro said as Inosuke was beating the tar out of Zenitsu.

Inosuke still wanted to be back even after killing the demon. The clothes you made him smelled like you, but it wasn't enough for him to sleep or to feel relaxed. He wanted you. He needed you. He held the clothes you made for him and sighed as he looked at them.

"Inosuke, what's the matter?" Tanjiro asked as Inosuke put the shirt you made for him away.

"Nothing," he said as he saw the blood running down his arm.

He looked at it and touched it, and then a memory came back.

"I win!" Inosuke said as he saw the demon lying on the ground, able to get up.

"This won't be the end of me! I'll find you and kill you!" The demon said as Inosuke started to head home or what he thought was the way home.

"Oh no," Inosuke said as he realized he didn't see the demon die.

"What?" Tanjiro said as panic started to set in.

"I didn't see the demon I fought die! It could have followed her home and was waiting for me to leave to kill her! No wonder I didn't like the woods! I didn't like the woods. I didn't like the feeling of the woods! The demon didn't die!" He yelled, waking Zenitsu up.

"What didn't die?!" Zenitsu asked.

"The demon he fought before losing his memory! We need to go back!" Tanjiro said as he was already heading that way and was destroying everything in his path.

"We are already a day away. We aren't going to make it back. Therefore, something happens!" Zenitsu said as Tanjiro was following Inosuke.

"We have to try! She took care of Inosuke for almost three months, and we have to repay her for it," Tanjiro said as Inosuke wasn't even thinking about that.

He was thinking about what the demon was going to do to you. It must have been waiting for him to leave so he could turn you into a demon. You would maybe lose your mind and kill your family. He didn't want that. He also didn't want his girlfriend to die by his blades either.

Dawn was quickly approaching, and before he got to your house, he saw smoke coming from your house. By this time of day, you would still be sleeping, so the fire was a bad sign. He ran faster only to see your home halfway leveled and smoke dying down.

"Steven! Y/n! Martin! Sarah!" He yelled as he was going over the wreckage.
"Forest!" Steven yelled as he ran from the woods, almost taking him down to the ground.

Tanjiro and Zenitsu caught up to see the house was burned.

"I don't smell any demons. It was by humans. I smell oil," Tanjiro said as he found a lamp that was broken.

It was a rather fancy lamp, and you, as well as your brother, painted on the lamps. The lamp he found had several colorful stones embedded in it.

"Humans, but why would they go after her family?" Zenitsu asked as your mother was helping your injured father out of the woods.

"Forest... did you forget something?" Your father asked as Inosuke was still trying to see if you were maybe around.

"No, I remembered why we needed to be away from the forest at night, a feeling I had. Where's Y/n?" Inosuke asked as your father paused.

"The rich Xiao family took her in the middle of the night and burned our house down well, tried to burn it. They said if we tried to get her, they would kill her. I tried to stop them, but as you can see, I didn't do such a great job. It's hard to get here without getting lost unless you know exactly where you're going. They must have followed her home," your father explained as Inosuke realized why always felt like something was watching him it was them it wasn't a demon but a person they sent to search out the area.

When he came to the house, they probably thought he was going to leave but never did. Then he punched that one rich guy in the face after he refused to let go of him so he was afraid of him. He didn't want to take the chance of losing, so he not only hired people but waited until he was gone to get them.

"I'll bring her back. You can count on us," Inosuke said as your family looked at him shocked.

"But they are a rich, powerful family, I thought you were only a bounty hunter, a hunter," your mother said.

"Doesn't matter they took your daughter by force, and I won't let them get away with that," Inosuke said as Tanjiro agreed.

"It's the least we can do after all you have done for us," Tanjiro informed as he bowed respectfully.

"Thank you it would mean so much to us. Please hurry if she makes them upset they might kill her," your father said as Inosuke nodded.

He knew you were going to piss them off because you thought for yourself and relied on yourself to get stuff done. Also, you learned how to fight back. Given the chance you were going to do, it.
