Japan Today @JapanTodayNews – 26/12/23, 6:30 am
Early this morning, the Kamado family, well-loved members of their local community, were found massacred in their home. The bodies of Kie Kamado and her children Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru, and Rokuta were brutalized beyond recognition and had grown cold by the time authorities arrived. Currently, the whereabouts of the elder two Kamado siblings are unknown.
If you have any information that could help the investigation, please call … (read more)

Mama <3: Tanjiro? Where are you going off to?
TanjirosNose: ack, sorry ma!
TanjirosNose: heading off to sell coal. Is that alright? Will you need my help settling down the others for bed?
Mama <3: Tanjiro!! You know that’s not what I’d be worried about. It’s such a snowy day. I’m not sure if going down the mountain is even safe right now, let alone getting back up.
TanjirosNose: but we need the money, don’t we? for new years. Plus, I don’t want everyone going cold just because I didn’t want to walk down a mountain I’ve lived on my whole life.
TanjirosNose: I can handle it!! I promise, Ma. I’ll be back before you know it.
Mama <3 is typing…

Mama <3: …alright. But be careful, okay? Takeo wouldn’t be very happy with you if you pulled a muscle and couldn’t chop wood with him.
TanjirosNose: You know I always am.

[Image description: A young boy holds the camera away from his face, taking a selfie. He looks to be around 13, baby fat still on his cheeks. His auburn hair is tied up behind him, his earrings blurry as the boy laughs. He wears a light blue scarf and a green-black checkered hoodie. Behind him, another boy, a few years older than him, seems to be slumping over in relief. A broken plate lays in front of the older boy. A woman, presumably the older boys mother, stands in the backdrop of the photo, holding a cat and shaking her head.]

TanjirosNose: Hey ma! Little change of plans… Mr. Saburo doesn’t really feel comfortable letting me go up the mountain this late. He says that I could get attacked by a demon or something?? im… not really sure what he’s talking about, but he’s pretty insistent. I think he might just be lonely. would you be alright with me staying the night in the village? I’ll be up tomorrow as soon as the sun rises!
TanjirosNose: either way, he gave me soup, so please let the little ones know they can have my share of dinner :)
6:49
Mama <3: that’s not a problem at all, Tanjiro. in fact, I’m inclined to agree with Saburo.
Mama <3: Perhaps not a demon, but I’m certain you remember the bear? you might have a strong sense of smell, but I doubt a young boy like you would be able to take down a hungry animal with that alone.
TanjirosNose is typing…
TanjirosNose: alright.
TanjirosNose: will you all be okay without me?
Mama <3: Tanjiro! It’s only one night. We’ll all be just fine. Nezuko can help me settle down the others.
Mama <3: You might be the eldest, but I’m the mother. I can take care of my children just fine.
TanjirosNose: I didn’t mean to imply you couldn’t!! I just…

She holds the youngest child, a toddler, in her lap, and sings to them all as she runs her hand through his hair. The video runs until the girl finishes the song, and turns to look slightly above the camera, presumably to the person holding it. She smiles softly, and the person holding the camera chuckles.]

[Emergency call automatic transcript, 26/12/23, 5:37 am:
Operator: Hello, 119, what is your emergency?
(the caller sobs into the phone, inhaling shakily before replying)
Caller: I... I don’t… my family, my family they… (they break into another sob. their voice is that of a young boy, possibly just starting puberty. their words are interrupted by heavy breathing, as if trying to carry something heavy, and the sound of snow being crushed under foot.)
Operator: Hold on, hold on, sweetheart. (at this, another sob breaks loose from the caller) Where are you? Can you tell me where you are?
Caller: I’m… I’m… m-my house. It’s, it’s in, uh, (ADDRESS CENSORED FOR PRIVACY).
Operator: Okay. Good job, honey. Now, what’s happened?
Caller: Oh my god, oh my god, I don’t… oh my god… (another shaky breath.) my family, my family, they’re gone. they’re dead. the monster killed them. oh my god, oh my god, the blood…
Operator: Are you safe right now?
Caller: Yeah, yeah, my… my baby sister, my little sister, she’s still warm, she’s okay, I’m gonna… I’m bringing her down to the village, we’re gonna get help…
Operator: Your sister is still warm?
Caller: Yeah.
Operator: Can you check if she’s breathing for me? Do you know how to do that?
(At this, the heavy breathing of the caller slows down as they presumably pause to check. The line feels strangely silent without the crunching of snow.)
Caller: Yeah, yeah, I can- Nezuko!
(A loud growling erupts from somewhere near the callers microphone, almost muffling their scream. Wind whips past quickly, as if the phone is falling.)
Operator: What’s happening? Stay on the line, don’t-
(The phone disconnects with the sound of it hitting the snow.)
Disconnected at 5:42 am. Emergency services were dispatched to location provided at 5:39. Bodies of Kamado Rokuta, Kamado Kie, Kamado Hanako, Kamado Takeo, and Kamado Shigeru were located by authorities at 6:06 am.]

TanjirosNose: yeah?
Tomioka Giyu: Most demon attacks are for food. They consume humans, as I stated before. Your family wasn’t eaten. This implies a targeted attack.
Tomioka Giyu: A demon has a grudge against your family. In order to protect yourself, and the people you care for, the Kamado family needs to die. This includes you and your sister.
Tomioka Giyu: If the demon caught wind that you survived, they will come back and finish the job, before hauling off your sister to be killed by their king.
Tomioka Giyu: For all intents and purposes, Kamado Tanjiro is dead.

Notes:
i made this in like,, two days,,,,, inspiration struck
thoughts on this chapter:
i really think that tanjiros grief isnt focused on enough in the manga and anime. of course, this is partially because of how he copes, by hiding it and 'staying strong' so to speak but i think, especially just after the murders, he wouldn't be dealing with everything all that well. even if u put aside the whole 'your family is dead' thing he had to leave behind a community he knew his whole life, people he had grown up with and learnt with. that would fuck you up imo
also nezuko was totally singing that red eye rabbit song. i didn't know how to sneak it in there but she was pinky swear
everyone say thank you fantasy name generators for saving my ass from coming up with names for all the townspeople 🙏🙏

The fact that theirs an investigation at all is pathetic. It’s so obvious what happened. The oldest kid (the only one who’s blood hasn’t been found??) has been doing all the work from what the interviews say. clearly he snapped! theres a killer on the loose, not a missing child

@vsjdraws are you kidding me? you act like you’re the only one who saw the interviews while also ignoring the fact that every single neighbour has vouched for the poor kids’ absolute devotion to his family. honestly, considering how people like you exist, I wouldn’t come out of hiding either.

Harassing a grieving woman just because you think you deserve to know everything about her dead neighbours is disgusting and wrong.

In loving memory of the Kamado family. Taken from this world far too soon, but never from our hearts. (image attachment: thekamados.png)
[Image Description: A family photo of the Kamados. It looks to be taken around two years ago, Tanjiro still shorter than his heavily pregnant mother. He holds his youngest sister Hanako in his arms, a large grin on his face as she giggles. Shigeru is sitting on his fathers’ shoulders, leaning down to be able to fit in the photo. Tanjuro does not seem to be struggling under the weight, his face calm. Takeo and Nezuko have an arm around each other. Takeo is attempting to hide his pleased blush and failing miserably. Nezuko has the same content smile as her father. Kie laughs, her hands carding through the twos’ hair.]

TanjirosNose: Hi Mr. Tomioka! It’s Tanjiro again. Sorry if I was a bit rude this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed by everything… but that’s no excuse! I just wanted to let you know Nezuko is doing great! I’ve made her a basket so we can still travel when it’s sunny. And guess what! She can shapeshift, apparently! Or size-shift… I’m not really sure what it’s called, haha. Maybe you do? You seem to be an expert on demons. (image attachment: 57497028489.png)
[Image Description: Tanjiro holds the phone up so the basket behind him is visible. His hair is very messy, and his smile doesn’t reach his eyes. In the basket sits a very young girl, around 6. She has long dark hair with unnatural ginger tips. Her worn pink cardigan is almost falling off her shoulders with how oversized it is. Despite the bamboo over her mouth, you can tell she is content from the creases near her pink cat-like eyes.]

TanjirosNose: nezuko? why are you texting me? you can just knock on the basket if you want me to stop and listen to you. we’re not in a public space right now, if that’s what you’re nervous about.
Mama <3: cant,, talk, words hard >:(
TanjirosNose: is it the muzzle? im sure I could convince mr. tomioka to let you remove it when you want to talk…
Mama <3: not… no
Mama <3: no, not muzzle, mouth words hard, all words hard but texting,, not as hard…
TanjirosNose is typing…
TanjirosNose: is it like when you had your quiet time? when you would get overwhelmed by everything, sometimes you would stop talking, and ma told us to give you some space?

RE: A potential student (DRAFT)
Dearest Giyu,
I appreciate you thinking off me when considering who to send the boy to, but I hate to inform you that he is not made for this.
Kamado is soft, indecisive, and worst of all, deeply kind. He isn’t cut out for this line of work. I won’t send another innocent child to die trying to mould themself into a ruthless soldier.
I have sent Kamado up the mountain and tasked him with making his way down by sunrise. This is his only chance I will give him to prove me wrong. As I’m sure you are aware, that path, laid with traps, will be almost impossible for an untrained child. Unless he is able to show enough adaptability to beat it, I plan to inform the demon slayer corps of the girls’ existence. With their approval, the two will be sent to a safehouse to wait out whatever demon is hunting them down.
It is with deep regret that I have to react this way to your first attempt at reaching out. Can I propose tea? I would like to see you again, my student. This hiding yourself away isn’t what Sabito would want.
Sincerely,
Mr. Urokodaki
Are you sure you want to delete this draft?

Notes:
yeah idk guys i smashed this out in a day i was just excited. blame the demon slayer hyperfixation
lets go thoughts on this chapter!!
i really autistic nezuko if u couldnt tell but i also wanted to make it clear becoming a demon does not turn you autistic lmfao. she was autistic before (tho probably undiagnosed given the kamado's finacial situation) and the trauma + stress of what she went through has caused some traits to get amplified if that makes sense?? sometimes when i have something stressful happen (like a meltdown) this will happen to me for the next couple days, so her experience is mostly based on my own lol. this also does not mean that these autistic traits are inherintly bad, just that they are helped her cope more.
something that broke my heart about demon slayer when i first read it was the fact that nezuko... isnt an older sister anymore. the grief of that really hit home for me as an older sister myself. shes not only grieving her little siblings, who she desperatly tried to protect and failed, but also her role.

20/1/24 – 5:19 pm
TanjirosNose: tomorrow im going grocery shopping with mr. urokodaki! while he does have a garden, its not like you can grow meat of trees, so the demon slayer corps does this whole thing where one person orders food, and then another drives it halfway to the next person, who brings it to a village a few miles away from our mountain, where we have to go pick it up. all this stealth is kinda overwhelming… exciting, though! like the spy games we used to play with takeo.

TanjirosNose: can he visit?
Mr. Urokodaki: I have been trying to convince him to visit for a very long time, however harishas are notoriously difficult to get a hold of. And I have to assume he didn’t tell you because you haven’t seen each other in a year.

Why did everyone stop talking about the Kamado case a couple months ago? It was the biggest thing for ages before completely being abandoned when the call was released.
🫒 olivegardengrowth
unfortunately, its probably just a virality thing. they were famous for a few weeks, and then the case went cold and all ‘intrigue’ was lost (mostly because the call proved the oldest son’s innocence). there are still some people investigating but I doubt anything will come of it, poor family.
🌋 KO67-blue
the real question is why are you trying to romanitise a murder case, let the victims rest
🍄🟫 TrueCrimeTaylor
WHAT
#LMFAO #how dare you say we piss on the poor ass interaction #also #if I was the victims I wouldn’t be able to rest until the killer got caught

[Image Description: A shaky, blurry photo of a clearing. Next to a large rock tied with rope and covered in small cuts, a large figure with black hair is curled into another. The smaller figure is pixelated and unclear, their face obscured into the black-haired mans shoulder. On top of the rock sits another blurry figure, appearing to be a small girl.]

Calling in a favour
Dear Rengoku,
I will get straight to the point: I would like to call in a favour. You know the one.
It is my understanding that your youngest apprentices with the Kasugai Crow Legacy Care, and thus has access to veterinary supplies. I am in need of smelling salts – the strongest kind you can give.
If you and your son are able to supply me with them, I will consider all your debt paid. You are one of my closest allies and I value your compliance.
With deep respect,
Sakonji Urokodaki

Water sent six images
[Image Description: Two young boys circle a clearing, holding wooden swords.]
[Image Description: The aftermath of the above spar. One boy lays on the ground, comically defeated, as the other places a foot of his back and lifts his sword to the sky. The shot is blurry as if the cameraman is laughing.]
[Image Description: A masked old man making a flower crown, assisted by a small girl, also wearing a mask.]
[Image Description: A girl with pink eyes gently places another flower crown on a black-haired mans head. He looks at the camera as if exasperated, but his eyes seem fond.]
[Image Description: A group of children, consisted of the sword-wielding boys and flower-making girls, gathered around a pile of karate boards held up by tree stumps. The girl with long, dark hair is chopping through them using only her legs. The group looks on in various states of disbelief.]
[Image Description: A selfie of what appears to be a family dinner. Every person pictured above is gathered around a table a bit too small for the group. A keen eye would notice that the two masked children and the girl with pink eyes don’t have rice in front of them. Everyone looks at the camera with smiles, except for the man taking the photo, who appears to be almost ironically deadpan.]
Water: proof
Several people are typing…
