Lost Morals [DISCONTINUED]

#9| one down, how many more to go?

third-person pov

Kanao stares at the group, lightly smirking. she unsheathed her katana and lunged at Tanjiro, but her sword meets with Senjuro's as he quickly defended Tanjiro, who was lost in his thoughts. "second form: rising scorching sun" Senjuro created a fire hoop, making Kanao withdraw her katana from his and narrowly dodge the attack, jumping to the side before heading for Inosuke next.

the boar-human quickly used his swords to form a cross, softening the blow of Kanao's pink sword. what's up with her? Genya thought to himself as he started running.

Inosuke and Kanao started trading blows, Senjuro soon joining in.

"you. you're not Kanao, are you?" Genya questioned sternly. Kanao's eyes widened in shock. Genya somehow managed to sneak up behind her and had his gun pointed right at her head, sword in his other hand.

"..."

"you're not very good at hiding it, ya know. you haven't used any flower breathing forms when there are already so many to choose from. secondly, Kanao has sharp senses, especially her eyes. she wouldn't have let me sneak up on her like this so easily and would have dodged Senjuro's attack more skilfully. plus, Kanao is never as expressive as you. if you're gonna steal someone's identity, at least do some background research," Genya stated his observations as he intimidatingly looked down upon the demon thanks to his tall height.

the demon let out a sigh, "so much for being stealthy i guess," it said as it regained its original form, a young girl that looked roughly 17 with dark black eyes and pale blonde hair.

"where is Kanao?!" Tanjiro angrily demanded, having snapped out of his trance.

"hm, i'm not sure. Tengen-sama just commanded me to take this form and fight some... hashiras? what a strange name. but that must be you guys i suppose?"

Tengen? wait... "HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?!" Inosuke demanded an answer.

"dunno where he came from, but he just took me in as a slave i suppose. couldn't object cause he was a higher rank and he probably would have killed me if i denied anyway," the demon plainly stated with a carefree smile on.

"his rank. what is it exactly?" Senjuro shot him another question.

"that's for me to know and for you to find out yourselves," the demon grinned and started attacking. big mistake.

"oops, shouldn't have done that buddy."

BANG

The demon had forgotten that Genya was still behind him and a horizontal knife bullet had cleanly sliced his head off, blood shooting out from where his head and neck used to be.

"D-DAMMIT!" it cursed. wow it barely put up a fight, how dull. Genya rolled his eyes before fastening his gun back into his belt and sheathed his sword at the same time.

"good job, Genya!" Tanjiro complimented optimistically with a bright smile, receiving a nod of thanks from the other male.

"let's head back no-" Senjuro got cut off by an unexpected sight. the demon was growing its head back.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Inosuke couldn't help but curse out as he unsheathed his jagged blades again.

"you really thought you could kill me that easily? Tengen-sama knows a strong demon when he sees one," the demon pridefully boasted.

the other three hahsiras unsheathed their swords and gun, standing in their defence positions. "yea? well you're outnumbered by hashiras, you must be prideful if you think you can win," Inosuke challenged without thinking.
