"This is so boring, when is that demon going to come?!" Insouke huffed, finally giving up headbutting everything around him. That went on for hours, I have long given up and settled down to seeing him try to earn himself another concussion
"He probably starves people before killing them, judging by the bones and all the swords around us that are as good as new in their cases
"So hes a coward!"
"Yeah, pretty much, if im right. At least thats what happens to demon slayers, because there are plently of bones up there with no swords or anything"
"We arent going to starve in here, are we? You have enough food"
"Wha- We will be out of food soon, but there are plently of bugs so we will last until someone comes for help"
"I havent tried those in a long time"
"The crunchy ones are really good, actually"
"What? No, the slimy ones are the good ones, obviously, they have all the good stuff"
(If you get the reference, marry me rn)
"You wanna fight me on bugs now? Im not in the mood, this situation is horrible" I groaned, but an idea flung throught my mind. I dont know anything about the idiot next to me, besides the fact he was raised by boars "Hey Inosuke, how come you know how to speak if you were raised by animals?"
"Some people gave me food"
"Thats your answer?"
"Yes, now my turn to ask. You must already know that stupid fox thats following ypu wants to eat you, why do you keep the little demon around?!"
"Kiwi? I grew up with him, found him when I was like five and ever since then he has never left my side. So if he happens to go missing, I will be really mad" I gave him a side glare, which he either choose to ignore or didnt catch at all, and laid down
"Im bored, why dont you fight me?"
"Because if you bleed we are both done for" I muttered under my breath, hearing a low chuckle from the top of the cave we had fell in. Inosuke got up and grabbed his swords, ready to fight but I just sat there, already knowing the demon wouldnt attack us
"Haha, I suspected you from the start girl, you smell like a demon faintly. And you are also hungry, huh? How about this?" he laughed and threw a decapited arm down at us. My mouth started watering as I glared at it, inching away from it and refusing to look, while holding my breath so I wouldnt smell it
"Oh come on now, you know you want it. Its human flesh, I kept some leftovers fresh just for you from my meal today, you shouldnt be so rude" he laughed, watching amused as I struggled to stay in control and noises similar to Nezuko's escaped me. Inosuke looked back at me in complete confusion, and back at the hand, and then at the demon. He was about to kick the dismembered body part away
Was. Because the demon made it move and shoved the fingers into his shoulder like knives. Inosuke moved away, slightly wincing at the pain as blood gushed out of his wound. The hand fell on the mud again and dissapeared, landing on the demons arms as he took a big bite and looked at me with a huge toothy grin, before dissapearing again
"A-Are you okay?" I growled, calming down a bit and getting back to normal, except from my fangs that seemed to have a mind of their own and wouldnt retreat at all.
"Tell that coward to come and fight me! I will kill him" he barked, trying to get back up but couldnt, since his whole arm had gone numb and his shoulder hurt everytime he tried to move "Stupid arm, work already!" he yelled, trying to move it
"Shit" I grumbled, still struggling to get him to stay still and stop trying to get up
"What is it now?!"
"There was poison, I gotta get it out. Its just- If you start feeling dizzy tell me right away" I sighed, getting closer as he scooted away
"What are you doing woman?!"
"I gotta suck it- Okay, that sounded weird but I gotta suck the poison, unless you wanna be dead by the time the sun rises" I yelled, hitting his head as he resisted
"Well then wont you get poisoned too?!"
"Gone throught poison training, it doesnt do shit to me. I kinda had to, considering I lived in a home full of snakes and weird lizards. Now if you dont stay still, I will knock you out and do it, you want that?!"
"Fine, do what you want! I dont care, you cant hurt The Great Inosuke anyways"
"You arrogant little shit" I muttered and bit his elbow, sucking the blood. I pretended to spit it out every now and then, but that was just regular spit. I mean, I had the chance to drink human blood for once, and the perfect excuse, what kind of demon would refuse that?!
"Thats about it, Inosuke are you okay?"
"Yeah, good as n--" he started and sprung up, but clearly regretted it as he started wobbling. He fell back down on his butt and shook his head like a mad man, as if that was gonna fix it
"Yeah, you are right. But take it slow, you lost a lot of blood"
"Of course im right!"
"Now dont take this too personally, but im glad im here with you. Zenitsu would have killed my eardrums and Tanjiro would be hella guilty and I would probably had to comfort him. Which im shit at, by the way, so its safe to say im lucky tio be with someone that only needs feeding"
"Yeah, im the best, Monjirou and Gonpachiro dont stand a chance against me!" he laughed, pointing at his chest while small white bubbles surrounded him "So you like being praised huh? You are so easy to please, its refreshing" I smiled, patting his mask as he made some happy noises
"I already told you im the best, and do that more" he laughed, grabbing my other hand and putting it on top of his head too "But how can you know everything?!"
"Everything...?" I laughed, taking his mask off so I could pet him better and run my hands throught his hair
"One moment you are cooking and the next you see some bones and can tell how people died! Nobody has ever outsmarted the Inosuke, you are annoying!" he yelled, pointing his finger at me
"I cant do everything, I just so happen to know those two"
"Well if you can cook, it means you had food growing up, so how would you know what bugs taste like?!"
"...I didnt always have food, genius. I was taken in by the demon slayers after my parents died, so I know a lot of things that might seem helpful. The maids werent glad to serve me, so if I didnt wanna eat leftovers forever, then I had no choice but to cook for myself"
"Why didnt they like you? Everyone likes you, even thought you are so mean and weird and your vibes are completely off. Thats even more annoying, you are almost as good as the tempura granny!" he yelled, coughing a little after
"Well, when people learn my secret they dont find me as good as before" I shrugged and took my hands off of his head, looking at them for a bit. I shook my head and let them fall down before getting up again
"Is it because you are a demon? You make good food, that makes up for it" he huffed and crossed his arms, leaving me completely dumbfounded as I turned to look at him with my mouth agape
"You knew?!"
"Of course I knew woman, but you gave me those meat sticks, so I didnt kill you. There ws already one demon with Gonpachiro, why wouldnt Monitsu have one too?"
