Susamaru & Yahaba

...----------------...

Susamaru: "do you see it?"

Yahaba: *using his eye on hand to scent something* "yes, I do. I see footprints, this is it... there's an enclosure up ahead, there are three people and they have a huge box."

Susamaru: *bounces her handball* "how should we kill him?~"

Susamaru: "heheheh~~ I can feel the power flowing within me~ I owe it all to our lord for giving me his blood."

Yahaba: "of course we're going to give him an agonizing death."

(Tanjiro's side)

Tamayo: "as for turning demons back into humans, there is a way."

Tanjiro: "oh-! PLEASE TELL ME HOW-"

Yushiro: "KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM LADY TAMAYOOO!!!!" *smacks down Tanjiro*

Tamayo: "Yushiro."

Yushiro: "I was just throwing him down, Lady Tamayo." *gently* "I didn't punch him."

Tamayo: "it's still inappropriate."

Yushiro: "understood!"

Tanjiro: "ouch... please tell me..."

Tamayo: "every kind of injury and disease certainly has a remedy or treatment, although we can't turn demons back into humans at this stage, but there will be a way. so, we must work to device a treatment by means of research. So I have a request for you. in order to create an antidote, we need a large quantity of demon blood for research. I have two favors to ask from you, firstly, I want your approval to examine your sister's blood. secondly, I hope you can try your best to harvest the blood from demons who have a thick amount of Kibutsuji's blood. Nezuko is currently under a very rare peculiar condition, you said she was in a coma for two years. I suppose that her body has experienced changes throughout the time. usually for such a long time, if a demon had no access to human or animal flesh for food, it will undoubtedly grow more aggressive."

Yushiro(mind): "Lady Tamayo has remained gorgeous today... she'll definitely be gorgeous tomorrow!"

Tamayo: "however, what was surprising is that Nezuko never showed any of those symptoms, this miracle should become the key to our upcoming research."

Tanjiro (mind): "Nezuko..." *pats Nezuko*

Tamayo: "the second favor I asked you will be a terrible ordeal. as for the demons who have a thick amount of Kibutsuji's blood, those are demons who are almost as powerful as Kibutsuji. it's not going to be easy to harvest blood from them. do you still want to fulfill my favor?"

Tanjiro: "if there's no other way... then I'll do it... if you manage to come up with an antidote, ms. Tamayo, after researching a lot of demon blood, it will save not only Nezuko, but even more people, am I right?" *smiles*

Tamayo: *shocked & smiles* "yes."

Tanjiro: "oh-"

Yushiro: *approaches Tanjiro with mad face*

Yushiro: *scents a demon* "GET DOWN"

...𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧...

Susamaru: "HEHHEHEH~"

Yahaba: "so how do we kill him?"

Susamaru: "make it agonizing, of course!" *throws two balls*

Yahaba: "a demon slayer is actually with the demons... what's going on?"

Susamaru: "HAHAHAHAH~ this is going to be fun!!~~"

Yahaba: "by the way, Susamaru. should I say that you're immature or you don't use your brain? it's so dirty. my kimono got dirty because of the dust, tch."

Susamaru: "you're so noisy. thanks to my handball, we found them, so stop complaining. I can have fun to the fullest!" *throws another handballs*

Yahaba: "you created a mess again."

Susamaru: "stop being uptight, your kimono isn't dirty at all. Anyway..." *sees Tanjiro protecting Nezuko* "HAHAHAHH~~ we found them~"

Tanjiro(mind): "handball? she threw the handball and turned the house into this state..."

Yushiro(mind): "is that woman Kibutsuji's subordinate?"

Susamaru: "HEHEHEHHHH!!" *throws another one*

...𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘠𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘰'𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘥......

Tanjiro: "YUSHIRO-SAN!!! damn, Nezuko! move the woman sleeping inside to a safe place outside...!"

Nezuko: *nods*

Tamayo: "outside is too dangerous! this house has a basement, go there!"

Tanjiro: "I understand! Nezuko, go now!"

Nezuko: *runs away*

Susamaru: "hehehheh~~ I killed one!!~"

Tanjiro(mind): "their smell is different from the previous demons. are they powerful? it's a strong smell. after inhaling the smell, my lung felt heavy."

Susamaru: "the demon slayer wearing hanafuda earrings must be you, right?"

Tanjiro(mind): "are they targetting me?"

Tanjiro: "Tamayo-san, please retreat to a safe spot. their target is me!"

Tamayo: "Tanjiro, please focus on your battle and not us. we'll be fine without your protection. because we are demons."

Susamaru: "well then, let me end your life with this handball!" *throws a handball in a strong speed*

Tanjiro(mind): "even if I dodge it, it will turn..." *scents* "among the then forms, the fastest slashing move... 𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈! 𝑺𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒉 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎, 𝑫𝒓𝒐𝒑 𝑹𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒆!" *stabs the handball*

Susamaru(mind): "you strike in an arc to slow down the handball... but...~"

...𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘪𝘳𝘰'𝘴 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨......

Tanjiro: !!!

Tanjiro(mind): "why does the handball move by itself!? when the handball hit Yushiro-san, it turned in an unnatural manner. but there's nothing special about the handball's rotation. what's this?"

(Tamayo's side)

Tamayo: "Yushiro... Yushiro..."

Yushiro: *regenerates mouth* "Lady Tamayo! I told you already, I told you we must not get involved with the demon slayer from the start! my blindfold isn't perfect! you should know that clearly, although I could hide the house, smell, and breath of people, but the actual existence won't disappear! more people will leave more traces, the chance of being discovered by Kibutsuji is higher as well...!"

Tanjiro(mind): "demons can actually be so close to us... I didn't smell anything before they attacked us, could it be because of Yushiro-san's blood demon art?

Yushiro: "anyone who interrupts my time with you, I hate them! I really hate them!!! I WON'T FORGIVE THEM!!!"

Susamaru: "HAHAHAHAH~~ this is fun, this is fun!!~ you should be honored to be killed by me, one of the Twelve Kizuki!!~~"

Tanjiro: "Twelve Kizuki?"

Tamayo: "they are direct subordinate of Kibutsuji!"

Susamaru: "AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" *grows another 4 arms*

Tanjiro(mind): "she has more arms now!"

Susamaru: *bounces her handball* "alright, let's keep playing~ until the sun comes up, until you die!~" *throws more handballs*

Tamayo(mind): "if I use my spell now, it will affect Tanjiro too. plus, Yushiro needs time to prepare for his attacks. at this rate...

handball: *moves towards Tanjiro*

Tanjiro(mind): "it happened again... the handball changed it's course without bouncing on anything..." *cuts handballs* "although cutting the handball minimized it's impact, it still hit me! there are two kinds of blood smell, there are two demons! I can tell their position based on their smell... but...!"

handball: *hits Yushiro & Tamayo*

Tanjiro: "Tamayo-san!!! Yushiro-san!!!"

Tanjiro(mind): "this is bad! I can't protect them!!"

Tamayo: "ignore us, we can heal our wounds!"

Yushiro: "hey, useless demon slayer! you'll know it's direction if you look at the arrow!! dodge the arrows!!"

Tanjiro: "arrow?"

Yushiro: "seriously, you can't even see that!? I'll lend you my sight! you should be able to chop off that handball girl's head!" *throws a eye sign on paper to Tanjiro's forehead*

Tanjiro(mind): *sees arrows* "I can see it! the arrow are guiding the handballs. they move along the track..."

Tanjiro: "Yushiro-san, thank you! I can see the arrows now!! Nezuko, go outside! I'm leaving the demon on the tree to you!!"

Nezuko: *nods & goes*

Tanjiro: "I'm your opponent."

Susamaru: "the demon slayer is wearing the hanafuda earrings... there's no mistake~~ I'll definitely bring your head to our lord... HAHAHAHAH!!" *throws more handballs* "this is so much fun~~!!"

Tanjiro: *dodges the handballs*

Tanjiro(mind): "Nezuko, haven't you found him?"

(Nezuko's side)

Nezuko: *founds Yahaba & tries to kicks him*

(Tanjiro's side)

Tanjiro(mind): "the arrow is gone!?" "𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈..." *cuts the handballs* "𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎, 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆!!!" *cuts Susamaru's hands* "Tamayo-san! are these two demons very similar to Kibutsuji?"

Tamayo: "I'm afraid you're right..."

Tanjiro: "I'll harvest their blood for you..."

Susamaru: *her cutted hands burns...* "HAHAHAHAH, you said you wanted to harvest our blood... I don't know what the heck you're trying to do. I won't allow you to do such a thing that will enrage our lord. if you think you can harvest my blood, one of the Twelve Kizuki Demons, come at me then!!! "

Yushiro: "watch out! you must not let your guard down! if they are really part of the Twelve Kizuki Demons, without a doubt, they'll be harder to deal with than the demons you've defeated before!!"

Tanjiro: "yes, I understand! I'll stay alert, I won't let my guard down! i'll defeat them first! so far... yes, I'll try my best!!"

Yushiro: "Lady Tamayo, let's use them as decoys and run away now!"

Tamayo: *extremely shocked*

Yushiro: "...! I'm just joking...!"

(Nezuko's side)

Nezuko: "MHM!!!" *kicks Yahaba more & more*

Yahaba: "don't splatter dust on me, it's so dirty!" *uses blood demon art*

Nezuko: *flies away from the blood demon art*

(Tanjiro's side)

Susamaru: "HAHAHAHAH!!" *grows arms*

Tanjiro(mind): "she grew new arms in a blink of an eye. her recovery rate is way faster than the demon during the Final Selection!"

Susamaru: "I want to offer your head to our lord~"

Tanjiro: ".....!"

Nezuko: *bumps into Tanjiro*

Tanjiro: "Nezuko!!"

Yahaba: *approaches there too*

Susamaru: "die together, you two!" *throws handball*

Tanjiro & Nezuko: *dodges*

Nezuko: "are you okay Nezuko?"

Yushiro: "hey, demon slayer! take care of that arrow guy, leave the handball girl to me and Nezuko."

Tanjiro: "I understand! Nezuko, don't overexert yourself!"

Nezuko: *sees Tamayo as Kie while Yushiro as Rokuta* "...!" *turns on anger mode*

Tanjiro: "I'm counting on you." *runs to Yahaba*

Tanjiro(mind): "I need their blood! I must harvest their blood! to finish the medicine as soon as possible. regardless what demon they are, I'll fight them! I'll go all out to win!"

...𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥...

Tanjiro(mind): "I see it! opening thread!"

Yahaba: "what a dirty punk. don't get near me!"

Tanjiro(mind): "the thread actually broke..."

Tanjiro(mind): "it hurts... no, it's very painful!"

Yahaba: 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘮

Tanjiro: "AAAAAHHHH-"

...𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘠𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘪𝘳𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨...

Tanjiro(mind): "I need to use a move! I need to use a move to cushion the impact! 𝐸𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡ℎ 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑚, 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑛!!!"

(Nezuko's side)

Susamaru: "HEHEHEHEH" *throws handballs*

Nezuko: *dodges*

Yushiro: *runs to Susamaru and disappears*

Susamaru: "he disappeared!?"

Yushiro: *punches Susamaru in invisible mode*

Susamaru: "GAHH!!"

Yushiro: *appears back* "you hurt Lady Tamayo, I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!!" *points at Susamaru*

Yahaba: "Tamayo? Susamaru, isn't that the traitor, Tamayo, at your side? she's really the best souvenir."

Susamaru: "is that so?" *throws handballs to both Yushiro & Nezuko*

Yushiro: *dodges*

Nezuko: "!!" *tries to kick the handball*

Yushiro: "idiot!"

Tamayo: "you can't kick the ball!"

handball: *cuts Nezuko's right leg*

Nezuko: *falls down*

Susamaru: "E-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" *kicks Nezuko*

Susamaru: *bounces her handball* "this is fun~ this is so fun!!~ kicking isn't a bad idea. Yahaba, we might as well bring back four of their heads~"

Yahaba: "you're wrong, two heads are enough, the demon slayer's and the traitor's. the other two aren't necessary."

(Tamayo & Nezuko's side)

Tamayo(mind): "the bleeding can't be stopped immediately, she's recovering too slowly."

Tamayo: *grabs needle* "this serum can heal your leg."

Nezuko: *sees Tamayo as her mother(Kie)*

(Tanjiro's side)

Tanjiro(mind): "what should I do…? I cannot lose... but even if I see the opening thread, I can't hit him easily. my moves, if I couldn't strike exactly at his weak point, it's pointless then... even if I damage slightly, the power of my moves can't be executed fully... the direction of my attacks will change because of the arrows. I feel bad for saying this, BUT THE EYES ON HIS HAND IS SO DISGUSTING-"

Yahaba: *use more arrows on Tanjiro*

Tanjiro: *dodges*

Tanjiro(mind): "the arrow's speed is very fast! it won't disappear before touching me... plus, my sword can't penetrate it! when my sword touches the arrow, I'll be blown away based on the arrow's direction-" *blowns due to the arrow's direction* "ARGH- what should I do!?"

Yahaba: *removes Tanjiro's haori using his arrows & grabs Tanjiro's hand tightly using arrows* "everything is as I expected! I want to break your arm..."

Tanjiro: *runs to the tree, then flies from the tree and the arrow is opened*

Yahaba: "so you escaped by doing air flips in the same direction as my kouketsu arrow... dirty monkey!"

Tanjiro(mind): "it's not good to continue being defensive... I must counter attack! without any contact with the arrows and changing their direction!!!"

Yahaba: "tch-! it's time for you to die!!" *use more arrows*

Tanjiro(mind): "I must adapt my moves! firstly, I'll use the sixth form to wrap around the arrow. after that, i'll use the third form to move quickly! and shorten our distance!!" *dodges the arrows*

Tanjiro: "𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑒𝑑, 𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑙!!" *cuts Yahaba's head*
