Chapter 228: Shinobu Kocho
As Death's voice faded from my mind, an unexpected hiss caught my attention. Nezuko had broken free from her wooden box and now stood protectively in front of Tanjiro, her eyes narrowed as she regarded me with something close to primal fear. I caught my breath. No way... did she sense Death from me?
Her fierce stance toward me was unexpected but fascinating.
Nezuko is a young girl with fair skin, visibly large, prominent fangs, a slender build, and sharp, stiletto nails with a base color of light pink and ombre fading to a red-pinkish color at the end where they point.
Her hair is long, black, and wavy. It reaches just below her waist, turning a flame-orange color as it passes her elbows, and appears to be crimped into large, straight ridges, worn side-swept drastically to her left.
She has soft-looking, pale pink eyes that appear a lighter color around the rims of their irises and on the center a persian pink below the pupils; they slanted downwards toward the sides of her face and framed by notably long eyelashes.

And Giyu saw her reaction too. His gaze hardened as he immediately recognised Nezuko as a demon. Without hesitation, he sprang forward, his sword flashing as he aimed a killing blow at her.
Tanjiro's voice rang out, desperate and pleading. "No! Giyu-san, stop!"
But Giyu's movements were swift and precise, driven by years of disciplined training. He wouldn't halt at Tanjiro's words alone. Nezuko herself braced, ready to protect her brother with all the strength she had, though it was clear she was at a disadvantage.
