The Mission | Sanemi X Giyuu | Demon Slayer

11

Sanemi's pov. 

After hearing Giyuu's warning, he flew into the air, looking downwards as he sees a long piece of hair separated from the rest. He immediately knew it was a secret attack. His blood was beginning to boil with anger. He didn't want to fight with sneaky low attacks. He wanted a real fight. 

Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon

He backflipped whilst being upside-down, unleashing a powerful gust of circular wind which slashed apart large pieces of the demon below. This could hold him out a little longer to find an open place to cut the neck. 

He noticed Giyuu's damage on the tail was almost done, reaching closer to the head. Both the head and the tail have been severely damaged. They were getting nearer to their goal. The demon started to scream agonizingly. The demon frantically sensed parts of its face missing, not being able to reconstruct it.

"MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! IT'S RUINED!" 

"Hah! Really? In my opinion, it was already ruined by your looks in the beginning! You really thought you looked good?"

"SHUT UP, YOU WIND HASHIRA!" 

The demon now removed its hair from its neck, covering most of its face with it, feeling extremely ugly. Sanemi noticed this mistake and needed to tell Giyuu immediately.

"Tomioka! The demon! Its hair is-"

Just as he was going to finish his sentence, Giyuu gets blown back by a huge force. The demon regenerated all of its tail. It seemed that Sanemi's words made the demon so enraged that it gave itself more power. The demon withdrew its tail to cover up its neck, the full body now connected. It lunged towards him, but he still managed to dodge every attack. 

"Shit."

He looked in Giyuu's direction as he realized how the demon could be defeated. He met Giyuu's eyes in the split second. They both knew what needed to be done. 

Maybe working as a team is not so bad.

Giyuu rushed back up,  jumping to get to the demon's tail closest to the wrapping of the neck. Sanemi jumped up getting ready, breathing in deeply. He saw Giyuu slash with a sharp move. The long piece surrounding the neck fell to the ground. The demon now turned its head towards Giyuu, screaming. It used part of its cut tail to push Giyuu back to the floor, but fortunately, the neck has fully opened a spot for Sanemi to cut. 

Third Form: Clean Storm Wind Tree

Defending himself from any sudden attack, he unleashes a whirlwind of slashes around his body as he slices his surroundings. He was counting on multiple of the attacks to cut the demon's neck. Slowly the head started to become loose, but he just needed one more attack.

"Tomioka! Finish it off!" 

"Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent."

Giyuu did not hesitate as he came swinging his sword in a calculated move. He minimized his footwork, allowing him to move without limits. With Sanemi's whirlwind of slashes, it was close enough to defeat the demon.
