Little Devil - Inotan

Forever imprisoned

Once they arrived at the town, there were demons everywhere. Like the Iwa/Inosuke mission, these demons were pretty weak, but their numbers were large. The three slayers parted ways to make the killings easier. Of course, one of them had a particular plan in mind. The risk was dangerous, but if accomplished correctly, it would save him a lot of trouble.

'I gotta fight some demons first to not look suspicious.'

He killed a large group of them in a couple of sword-swings. Once the area was clear, he got to work. The weak demons managed to kill two people, not that Inosuke would have let them, but it seemed they had been dead moments before they arrived. He felt guilty because of it, but his mind shifted to collecting the blood. One of the dead bodies was a female, so he grabbed a cup from inside her property and held it against an open wound.

'Come on, what's taking so long!' Inosuke grabbed his sword from his side and opened the wound to make more flood leave the corpse. But before the cup could reach its goal, his sword fell from his hand due to a strong swing from something. "What the hell-"

"Oh my, what on Earth is Inosuke doing?" Shinobu faked a scared face.

Inosuke's heart stopped. He had been caught.

"I- what are you-"

"What am I doing here? Is that what you're trying to ask? It seems you didn't expect me, or I should say us. It turns out an upper moon is behind all of this, so all the Hashiras were sent out here to battle, that's if it's still around. But, you should know that better than anyone." The insect Hashira winked maliciously at him

"I know you're working with him, you traitor."

'W-what...? Where.... am I?...'

"My head- hurts..." Inosuke gripped the cold concrete floor with his bare hands. His vision eventually adapted to the dark room and was able to see due to the faint light that lit the hallway. "Are those.... bars?"

The slayer stood up weakly, walking towards the bars. "What is this!? Am I imprisoned!?"

"Oh, you're finally awake!" A familiar voice spoke from an unknown direction. Inosuke looked around in confusion.

"Y-you!-"

"Good morning!" The insect Hashira smiled.

"What is going on? Where am I!?"
