Inosuke: (Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness!)

Utilizing his sense of touch Inosuke felt the air waves around him 

Tanjiro: Found it?

He stood up

Inosuke: Yeah! That way! I'm picking up a powerful vibe from over there!

He pointed with his sword

Tanjiro: You are? Way to go, Inosuke!

Dizzy bubbles stirred around him but he was pulled out by a slash he dodged

Inosuke: We gotta take care of these guys or we'll never get anywhere!

Hearing that Murata got determined and narrowed his eyes

Tanjiro: Damn. Isn't there... Isn't there any other way?

Elsewhere a exhausted Zenitsu trudged through the forest wheezing every step before coming to a stop up against a tree

Zenitsu: Ne... Ne... Nezu... Ne... Whe... Whe... W-Whe... Whe... Where are you?

Back at the fight the four stood off against the puppets

Inosuke: Dammit! What a pain in the ass! I'm just gonna demolish them all at once!

Zane: You cant do that! Back off! There has to be a way! So, lets try not to hurt these-

He was cut off by a running sound as one of the puppets ran at him then Murata ran forward and blocked the attack

Zane: Murata?

Murata: Leave these guys to me and go on ahead!

This made Inosuke tilt his head

Inosuke: What kind of talk is that, Mr. Pissed-My-Pants?

Murata: I never pissed my pants, you stupid boar!

He yelled angrily which in turn made Inosuke mad

Murata: I wasn't talking to you, so you can just shut up!

The puppet swung at Murata and he narrowly avoided it and clashed swords again

Murata: I know that wasn't my finest moment back there, but I'm a demon slayer, too! I'll find a way to hold them off! 

Two slumped over body's raised up 

Murata: Now I know I just need to slash the threads, and that these guys can only make the most elementary movements! I'll watch out for spiders, too!

He grit his teeth as the puppet pushed harder

Murata: There has to be people under even more control closer to the demon! So, you three go on!

Tanjiro: Understood! We appreciate this!

He ran in the direction of the demon along with Zane

Tanjiro: Lets go, Inosuke!

He grabbed the boar boy dragging him away

Inosuke: Hey, let go of me, dammit! I wanna pound that guys face first! Who's he calling "a stupid boar"?

Murata: Would you shut up! Just drop it and get out of here!

He raised his fist as he was dragged away

Inosuke: I'm so gonna punch you when I get back!

He was dropped and the three ran to the demon

Inosuke: Dammit! I'm gonna punch that guy if its the last thing I do!
