Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 29 { Natagumo Mountain }

(Zenitsu's POV)

Do my companions hate me? Do people normally abandon their companions on the side of the road? If they really are my companions, why didn't they try to convince me? If the two of them came over to me and tried to do that... At that point, even I would be willing to go but the two of you have chosen to go into that terrifying forest... Why do you have to move so fast? Why can't you consider my feelings of abandonment for a second? Suddenly my sparrow hops toward me.

It says in bird language, 'Chirp!: There's nothing to be done about you being bullied. Chirp!: Hurry up and go save your companions!'

I look at it and says, 'You really are quite calm but no matter what, how would a bird understand human stuff...' Suddenly tick marks appear on its head. It peck my hands really hard.

I yell in pain, 'Ow ow ow ow! You really are not cute! Not cute at all! You really really are not cute at all! Even Nezuko-chan who has turned into a demon manages to be cute and you're just a sparrow! Why are you so violent...' Suddenly I widen my eyes in realisation. That guy! I think he was carrying Nezuko-chan with him.

I quickly rush into the forest to find Nezuko-chan, 'Why did he bring along with him my most precious Nezuko-chan! Tanjiro, look at what you've done! Don't bring girls to such a dangerous place! You idiot idiot idiot idiot! Nezuko-chan!'

Back to Tanjiro...(Tanjiro's POV)

Inosuke dodged the demon hunter slash and even more demon hunters came to the scene. They all look very weird and their movement are quite stiff.

Inosuke shouts, 'This bunch of people are all idiots! Don't they know that it is forbidden for members to kill each other?!'

I reply, 'No their movements are very strange! I think they are probably being controlled by something!'

He says, 'Alright! Then I'm gonna to chop them in half now!'

I yell at him, 'You can't they are still alive! There are still living people mixed among them. Also, you mustn't harm our companions' corpses!'

He answers, 'Hai hai. Stop denying my fun!' Suddenly two demon hunters rush toward us. They swing their swords but me and Inosuke quickly tackle them down. I smell thin line scents on him. How strange! I draw my blade and cut the lines.

I widen my eyes in realisation, 'It's wires! They are being controlled by wires! Cut the wires!'

Inosuke yells, 'I've already figure that out!' He launch toward three demon hunters and cut all the wires. Where is the enemy. The manipulator's position... Where is it?! Suddenly I smell a foul smell. Urgh! What?! What a sharp and foul stench! Eventhough it was only for a moment... I notice something climbing on my arms. I look at my arm and saw two small spider. My arm was suddenly pull upward. I quickly slice the wires that is attached to the spiders. Spiders? The wires that control people are linked upon the spiders? Then this must mean...?! Suddenly the demon hunters that were laying on the ground suddenly rises. They are in a very painful position while standing. I widen my eyes when I see them suffering.

I hardens my eyes and say, 'Inosuke, the spider are too tiny and there is a large amount of them! We must find the demon controlling the spiders! I've been picking up the strange stench starting a few moments ago so my nose is completely useless! If you are able to locate the demon with precision... Please find the demon and wait for me to be back. Also you are...'

The boy replies while fending a controlled demon hunter, 'I'm Murata!'

I continue saying, 'Murata-san please help a injured demon hunter near the forest entry. I will carry all the demon hunters to the forest entry and you will help them to treat their wounds! After that please take a rest at the forest entry! Me and Inosuke will deal with these demons. Don't worry about me, I will be fine.' He look at me and nodded. Suddenly a demon appear in the sky. He was floating in midair?! No... he's standing upon a wire.

He says, 'Don't disturb our clans peaceful life here because you will all be killed by mother in the next few moments.' Suddenly Inosuke leap up into the air and slash the demon. He didn't leap high enough and missed the demon.

He fall down on to the ground and yells, 'Damn it! Where are you going?! Come and fight with me!'

I say to him, 'Inosuke! I think that demon isn't the one controlling the wires! Hurry up and find the demon who is controlling them! I will leave you alone for a few minutes so please survive and don't die!'

He yells, 'I get it alright! I look for where the demon is!'

I nodded and turn toward the controlled demon hunters. I take in a deep breath and yell, 'Sun breathing! Ninth Style Solar Halo Dragon Sun!' I circle the demon hunters in a pattern resembling a flaming dragon and slash their wires multiple times. They all fall down onto the ground and I carry them all on my back including Murata. I take in a deep breath and my forehead scar transformed into a red demon crest marking. My strength increases drastically and made me able to carry all the demon hunters. I focus all my blood flow in my legs and run toward the forest's entry really fast.

After a few minutes later...

I arrived at the forest entry. I place all of them down and give Murata some medical supplies.

I say, 'Use these stuff to treat their wounds. Don't let them die. I gonna put my trust on you Murata-san. I know you can do it. I have to return back to Inosuke now.' He nodded and started to treat their wounds. I turn around and quickly enter the forest again. I ran as fast as I could and arrived at Inosuke's side.

He looks at me and says, 'Is about time! Time to find the demon!' He stabs his blades into the ground and put his hands out while yelling, 'Breath Of The Beast! Seventh Style Spacial Awareness!'

(Narrator's POV)Inosuke has an excellent sense of touch due to him growing up in on a barren mountain. With his own style of breathing, he has developed a very sharp sense of touch. As long as he concentrates, he is even able to feel those miniscule vibrations in the air around him. He doesn't have to directly touch his target in order to find its position.(Tanjiro's POV)

He suddenly yells, 'Found it! There!'

At another random part of the forest...

A demon standing on a wire under a the moonlight says, 'I will not let anyone get in our way... My wish is that this clan of five will be able to live our lives happily. None of them will be able to sever the wires of fate that bind us together.'
