Inosuke and I continue to live together for 4 years making both of us 9 years old.
( yes I know i's a huge time skip I just don't have the time to write 4 years of their lives lol)
after a long night of building our new cabin I finally wake up by the sound of a boar snorting, I look towards the noise to see it's not a boar it's Inosuke. I focus on him and see he's eating something I scoot closer and realize it's meat wait... THAT'S RAW MEAT! I run towards him and rip it out of his hands.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" I yell frightening him.
"HEY GET YOUR OWN!!!" he yells back trying to grab the meat from my hands, I'm slightly taller than him so I dangle the meat above my head just out of his reach.
"Are you dumb?! THIS IS RAW MEAT IT COULD KILL YOU" I try to explain.
" I don't care my mom gave it to me so it must be fine!" he says still reaching for it.
"well, your mom can process raw meat because she's a boar. you, on the other hand, are a human so you can't" I explained pushing his face away from the piece of raw meat.
"NO FAIR I CAN EAT WHATEVER I WANT BECAUSE I'M INO-" I slapped my free hand over his mouth to cut him off
"yeah, yeah your Inosuke Hashibira!" I say sarcastically while flexing my 'Muscles' to mock him.
"We can just cook it if you want it so bad," I say as I gather some sticks.
"cook it?" he asks confused.
"yeah...you do know what that is right?" I ask genuinely.
"yeah!...but remind me," he says slightly embarrassed.
"It's when you heat meat or other foods to make them able to eat" I explain while handing the food over to Inosuke, I start building a small fire pit and striking some flint and steel to create sparks. soon after one of the sticks caught on fire and started to spread. I created a small stand to prop the meat over the top of the fire. Inosuke sat and watched the meat slowly crisp up as I flipped it over. I handed Inosuke the cooked meat. He sniffed the air in delight, as he took a bite his pupils slightly dilated
"WOAH!" he exclaimed, "this is so much better!"
"Yeah?!" I laughed excited he liked it. "so no more eating raw meat! I can't believe you didn't know that after 4 years!" I Thought out loud in surprise. I burn out the fire by pouring nearby lake water on top of the flames. A small cloud of steam rises quickly in the air. I turn to Inosuke and notice the entire piece of now cooked meat is gone.
"Hey, do you even know what that was?" I asked curiously.
"Hm?-no my mom just gave it to me so I didn't question it." He explains.
"Well, you really should be careful about what you eat Ino," I lecture him.
"Heh? Ino?! What kinda a name is that?" He asks.
"Oh-I dunno it just kinda came out I guess," I say rubbing the bump on the back of my neck, which I can barely feel anymore. I start to throw the rocks surrounding the fire pit into a small pile. And kick the charred wood into the forest. I look at Ino once more and see him licking his fingers as if to get off every speck of meat residue.
"Ew go wash your hands' weirdo" I laugh to myself as I pick up a log of oak wood to continue building a cottage for us to sleep in. We had been sleeping in a cave for years and we had finally decided to build a cottage.
"Hey, I'm not weird! Eh- you are!" He pouted angrily as I laughed slightly in response. I pounded a nail into the hardwood and shook it lightly to ensure its security.
Inosuke POV
After a while of the two of us building the large cabin that neither of us knew the first thing about, anything would be better than sleeping in a cave really.
Moriko started to yawn as I nailed the last log into the other. I would have to cut more in the morning. Moriko mentioned something about going to the woods for a moment or something like that. I didn't pay much attention though, she usually goes off on her own anyways but to my surprise, she always comes back. I've gained trust in her. My first friend, Moriko Okamoto.
I can't help but think she's mad at me for some reason, well I have my whole life to figure that out.
Moriko POV
I finish picking up the nails that we stored in a tree earlier so Inosuke's parents wouldn't accidentally eat them. He had finally taught me how to climb even the tallest trees. He had told me about a story when he climbed a tree while being chased by a bear! I really look up to that boy even though I would never admit it.
I stare into the sunset, it's so beautiful here. I could stay up here forever, I hold my necklace that was made from the very acorn Inosuke gave me when we first met. I rub the rough surface with my thumb as I smile to myself. how lucky am I for Inosuke to have found me? I see the daylight starts to fade and I realize how dark it's getting. I start to climb down the giant oak and begin to walk through the thick forest back to our cottage.
The sky rapidly gets darker and darker so I can barely see two feet in front of me. I reach my hand out to attempt to guide myself back home, but not long after I felt a presence behind me and a terrible stench followed. The sudden change of environment made me fall to the ground while holding my mouth and nose closed as long as possible.
"Hello little girl," an unknown voice cackled in amusement.
"You know I've always loved the younger ones, they're much more fresh don't you think?" He laughed once again. It was getting harder and harder to hold my breath. I take a large gasp of air and say,
"W-who are you?" I said turning around to be surprised by the presence of a three-eyed demon with hair down to his shoulders. His eyes had a red spiral in each. I didn't get enough time to analyze him as the stench started to take over once again.
'what's happening am I gonna die? I don't know. Did they find me? I don't know. Why can't I understand?!'
I thought to myself, 'what do I do?' The creature started to run towards me leaving a small distance between me and him before I do the only thing I can think of,
"INOSUKE, HELP ME PLEASE" I cried with the last amount of my breath as the Demon-like creature grabbed my shoulders and I squeezed my eyes shut. I felt only the small impact of the hands of the creatures on my shoulders, nothing more.
I open my eyes to see a dirt road, where am I? the creature's arms still have a firm grip on me. Scared, confused, these were the only emotions I could feel.
"I can't have any distractions while I eat my food, now that I teleported us away from those woods I can finally enjoy my first meal in days!" He cackled menacingly. Tears fill my eyes as I start to sob.
"Please, please don't hurt me...please" I begged.
"And why should I do that now? How is your life any more important than all of the other humans I've consumed?" He asked impatiently.
I pause
'What is, so important about me?' I thought.
"That's what I thought, now shush," he said as he grabbed my arm with his nails digging into my skin to take a bite. I froze I couldn't talk, I couldn't move, nothing. I just stood there awaiting whatever he was planning.
I hear the creature scream but only for a moment, I turn my head to see him slowly disintegrate into ash. feelings start to overflow in my body as I fall to the ground in relief.
I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding. I get up and start to look around something seemed off. I thought to myself,
'Where...am I?'
