Little Kitsune's Destiny

Chapter 22

Age: [17 years old] [THIRD PERSON] POV

"Ne, ne~ Rengoku-san?" called out a certain love hashira as she walked, side-by-side with her teacher and her friend.

The latter let out a hum as he turned to her with a bright smile, arms crossed on front of him as they were both on their way to a near-by ramen shop.

"Don't you think the person that Oyakata-sama had mentioned was familiar?" She begun, tapping a finger on her chin as she thought about him.

The flame hashira simply smiled even more as he then let out a loud laugh.

"Indeed it does Kanroji-san!" He had replied to her question before looking forward as his golden orbs stared right in front of him.

"I don't quite remember though!"

"A-ah! That's quite alright!" The Kanroji had interjected, waving her arms around as she had a happy grin on her face as well.

Before she stood up again and stopped in her tracks.

"But from what I remember, perhaps it was when all of us had a day-off?" She though about it before a large hand landed on her head.

"Let's stop thinking about it and eat some ramen!"

'Such a bright man!' The pink to green haired female thought to herself before she hastily nodded in agreement with his previous statement.

"HAI!"

-- Meanwhile --

"Drop...her" Kokushibo muttered out, loud enough for his comrade to hear.

The comrade that's trying to carry you on his shoulder as you struggle to get out of his grip with blood dripping down the side of your forehead.

"Kokushibo-san!" you had shouted, still trying to get out of the demon's grip, but it the arm holding onto you only seemed to have tightened more around you.

"Oh? You know Kokushibo-dono?" the demon holding you said, looking at you with a smile as he dropped his opposite arm, holding onto fans of gold.

How you end up in another demon's hold is something you didn't even know.

One, you were just opening the shoji to a gorgeous room and the next, you are in his hold.

"Kokushibo-san!" You had shouted again, closing your eyes, squirming in the demon's tight grip before you landed on something hard, but warm.

You opened you eyes and looked up, to see Kokushibo glaring at the golden-haired demon as the latter only seemed to smile at the sight.

Looking towards your perpetuator, you were immediately brought back onto your feet as you hid behind Kokushibo, tightly gripping his haori as you peeked form behind, furrowing your brows at the other.

"Oh? Could it be that she's that human you were talking about?" he suddenly questioned, eyes widening in realization as he looked at me, licking his lips, causing me to go wide-eyed at this as I hid behind his haori more.

"Might I say, the blood she has running through her veins smells..." the rainbow-eyed demon began, growing closer with each step he took towards you as he opened his fans.

"...sweet~ Oishī~!"

"You are not allowed to eat her...Douma" Kokushibo said in slight protest as he brought out an arm and pushed you backwards, completely hiding you from Douma's sights.

Your eyes widened at this as you simply allowed yourself to be pushed, completely forgetting about the blood heavily pouring from your head.

"Not even a drop? I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I take just a drop of her blood~!" he said, confident, with a fake present smile before leaning sidewards, taking a look at you again.
