[Seiji's POV]
(1 month later)
"Co on~ Literally what else can you do?" I asked as I followed behind the Wind Hashira as he angrily walked along the dirt road.
"Anything other than what you want to do!!" he seethed by himself as he took huge, forceful steps which were a contrast to all the elegant and probably soundless steps that other Hashrias usually take.
"Why wouldn't you just teach ? You have no excuse, lil bro."
"How about this, it's because you're not worthy all right, How about that?" He said, "And don't call lil bro!! "
"Trust , that doesn't sound as cool as it sounds in your head. You lost to , rember?" I said and I could see him visibly vibrate as he marched forward, faster.
"Speaking of which, don't you rember the bet we made before our fight? The loser does whatever the winner says." I said and he paused.
Then turned towards , "Don't fucking try to gaslight , you little twerp!!"
I sighed and whispered to myself, "...if you're already this dumb, why aren't you just dumb all the way?"
"I fucking heard that!! Ahragahitttahhh!!!" he stomped his feet three tis before turning back and walking towards our destination again with quick steps.
He couldn't do anything. Because right now, under the order of Lord Ubuyashiki, we were companions on the sa mission.
I did not know if it was luck or if it was the ticulous plan of so higher being but I was paired with Sanemi just when I needed. I had gotten extrely good at using all of the other breathing styles I knew except Wind Breathing so I wanted to improve on that.
I had copied Wind Breathing from Sanemi during our fight but those were only two forms - the first form and the fourth form - along with the conceptual pattern of Wind Breathing and constant breathing.
But there were still more than half that I needed to learn.
It has been nearly a day since we t up but I still could not convince him to teach Wind Breathing. We were on a mission so I didn't expect him to slow down just to teach but he could talk about the concept and show the different forms now and then and it would be enough for .
Then we would use the demons we encountered as training dummies and I would learn the breathing style in no ti. At least that's how I learned from Giyu.
But no, Sanemi refused to even entertain the idea.
I would convince him eventually though.
We continued our journey to the first destination of our mission and we reached it the next morning, around three hours away from sunrise.
Our destination this whole ti was the location of groups of demons found by one of the lower ranks.
We cleared the hideout of demons during the three hours before sunrise but unfortunately, we were unable to slay all of them as so successfully escaped us.
After that, we ate and rested the entire morning before we continued our journey at late noon.
The mission we were assigned was a long-lasting one. It was basically to clear all of the demon hideouts that had been located so far, both by the scouts and by the lower ranks.
The mission was assigned to us because we were both known for our ability to complete missions quickly and this particular mission needed to be completed as quickly as possible to avoid more deaths.
Also, it was because Sanemi knew Wind Breathing which was incredible against groups of demons and so did I, at least I was decent in Wind Breathing.
The mission was expected to last for a few weeks at least if not a month.
"You have to teach Wind Breathing. It is vital for our mission and it will allow us to slay all of the demons next ti. This is no ti to feed your ego, if I learn it, it will only be the benefit of the Demon Slayer Corps as a whole." I said, still following behind him because he refused to walk side by side with .
I think he considered walking side by side to be a show of kinship and equality, you know 'We are walk together, shoulder to shoulder' kind of thing.
So far, he was only letting walk behind him.
"You are deaf so you never heard your own voice but let tell you, your voice is annoying as hell!! So stop talking before you piss off!!" I saw him say by looking at the contraction of his throat.
Well, he looks pretty pissed off already. So I refuse to stop.
"Co on, put away your pride and I will put away mine." I said and paused a short while before saying again.
"Please, teach ."
"....."
"....."
And....he walked off.
Honestly, how troubleso.
"Just to let you know, I can also teach you a lot about swordsmanship because currently, your skills are shit." I said. His skills were shittier than even the weakest Hashira because most of his demon-slaying life, he used different ans to slay demons.
I think I've read sowhere that Sanemi was slaying demons since before he even knew about the nichirin blades of the Demon Slayer Corps. He would use a variety of weapons and traps to slay them.
"I don't need to learn anything from you." was his cold reply.
..
..
In the end, I never was able to convince Sanemi to teach .....at least that's what he wanted to think to save his own stupid pride.
But in reality, I convinced him!! He never verbally accepted but that sa night, he lured demons towards us using his blood and he slew every demon that appeared with breathing forms, regardless of how weak they were.
Normally, it would only take a simple slash to kill them but he used his breathing forms to slay them. And not just one form either but multiple forms of the Wind Breathing.
He never accepted it but I could see that he was giving the chance to copy him. He knew I could copy him since I used the forms I knew to clear the first hideout last ti.
So in the end, Sanemi beca my teacher without ever becoming my teacher.
Honestly, what a fucking tsundere.

A month was more than enough for to fully learn Wind Breathing. There were lots of demons to practice on and I used mostly Wind Breathing during our mission.
I think I managed to form a unique bond with Sanemi during this ti.
"Oh fucking finally! The mission finally ends!! That ans no more sassy weird-eyed boy following around like a shadow!" Eh, maybe not.
Sanemi cheered as we walked away from the demon hideout. It was the last of our mission. It took us a month since more locations were discovered during the mission but we finally destroyed every known hideout.
"I'll miss you too buddy."
"Deaf boy, that's not what I said," he said while glaring at .
We were walking side by side.
You may already notice but he was a lot tar than a month ago. Our relationship grew in a weird way I never expected. I didn't know if we could be called friends or not but...
"I think he loves now."
"Don't make kill you right at the end." he said, his glare intensified.
Oops, but not really. I ant to say that out loud.
Well, maybe he was yet to fall in love with but at least he was tolerating now. I think that's the most you could get from a tsundere like Sanemi.
"Let's go get so spicy ran to celebrate." I said, knowing full well Sanemi could not do spice at all. He may be hot-headed but he had weakness to hot food.
"I'm not hungry." he said, refusing to admit that he couldn't do spicy food.
"You an, you can't eat spicy food?"
"That's not what I said!! How do you keep mishearing what I said when you are deaf!!" He yelled.
"Oh, don't worry. Then let's go get red bean mochi and other sweet foods. I don't like it but you can eat all of them like a little girl." I said.
Interesting fact, Sanemi has a sweet tooth and his favourite food was red bean mochi. He also liked ohagi (rice ball with red bean paste) and other sweet food.
But such was the pride of the Wind Hashria that just because I compared liking sweet food to being a little girl, he would never eat them in my presence
"Fine!! Let's go get spicy ran." he said and walked forward to lead the way, trying to act enthusiastic and pretend that he was not weak against spice.
Heh, I'm cruel, aren't I?
Well, I never claid to be perfect. Seeing him force-eating spicy food was such an entertaining sight that I couldn't miss it in this world with limited entertainnt.
Hmm, to be nice. I will grab a few red bean-paste rice balls for him.

In a blink of an eye, two months passed,
