Kisatsutai/ An Inotan Story

Chapter 2

There before Tanjiro's eye's, he saw a boy with yellow hair being held by the collar by a girl with black and blue hair with a bandage wrapped around her forehead."YOU WANNA TRY THAT AGAIN YOU LITTLE SHIT." The girl yelled. "PLEASE I'M SORRY I MADE A MISTAKE." The yellow haired boy replied. Tanjiro, staying true to his protective nature dashed in to break up the scuffle. He stood between the two of them. "Miss I think there's been a misunderstanding. You're in the wrong building" Tanjiro interjected. "Shut it loser. I'm not a girl" They growled.

Tanjiro's face grew red with embarrassment."I-Im so sorry. If I may ask, what was happening just now" Tanjiro inquired. The black haired boy looked to the side "Blondie over there started hitting on me and feeling me up in weird ways so it pissed me off" Tanjiro turned to the yellow haired boy "Did you really do that?" He asked. "Well I did mistake him for a girl but I didn't touch him weirdly. I tripped on him and used him as support to get back up" The blond boy clamoured. "Oh I see so it was just a huge misunderstanding." Tanjiro added. He turned back to the black haired boy. "So what's your name?" He asked. The black haired boy crossed his arms and closed his eyes, "Inosuke Hashibira." Tanjiro turned the the blond, " And yours?" "Zenitsu Agatsuma"
"Well Inosuke please forgive Zenitsu for his misunderstanding." Tanjiro pleaded while Zenitsu sobbed in the back. Inosuke huffed and turned around toward the corridor before entering a room and slamming the door shut.

Tanjiro turned to face Zenitsu. "Thanks for saving me uhhh ..."
"Tanjiro Kamado"
"Thanks Tanjiro"
"It's probably for the best if you take the room to the left, I'll take the one opposite Inosuke's room"
"I can never repay you for this". Zenitsu whispered as he snaked off into his room. Tanjiro turned back to his belongings. "Come to think of it Inosuke's voice sounded... familiar"
Tanjiro took his stuff and stopped infront of his door. Inosuke's room was just behind him. He turned around and knocked on Inosuke's door. The door flew open and in the door frame stood Inosuke. Tanjiro's eye's hovered over the bandage around his head. "Hi Inosuke, I didn't get to tell you my name before. I'm Tanjiro Kamado." Tanjiro held his hand out," I'll be just across the hallway if you need anything"
Inosuke slapped Tanjiro's hand out of the way and grunted
"Yeah yeah whatever. You done?"
"Have we met before" Tanjiro asked
"What the fuck? Of course not"
"Sorry it's just your scent is kind of familiar. What happened to your forehead?"
"I ran into a wall before coming here"
"It looks like you might need it redressed"
"Just leave me alone" Inosuke slammed the door infront Tanjiro. He sighed before entering his own room and unpacking.

Tanjiro sat on the couch in their room and switched on the TV. Not long after he was joined by Zenitsu who to a seat next to him.
"That Inosuke's a real handful" Zenitsu said.
"He seems like it but I bet once you get to know him, he's an amazing person" Tanjiro replied. Tanjiro and Zenitsu enjoyed a lengthy conversation before being interrupted by the dinner bell. They marched off to the cafeteria to get dinner. Tanjiro and Zenitsu sat together whilst Inosuke was nowhere to be seen.

Several minutes later, Tanjiro and Zenitsu returned to their dorm room. Zenitsu yawned. "I'm gonna head off to bed."
"I'll do the same. Goodnight Zenitsu"
"Goodnight Tanjiro" The two parted ways. Tanjiro heard Zenitsu's door shut before freezing infront of his own door. He entered his room and came out seconds later. He made his way to Inosuke's door and gently knocked yet to no avail. Luckily for him, Inosuke's door was unlocked. So he carefully opened the door to find Inosuke sleeping outside his blankets on his bed. "It's best I don't disturb him" Tanjiro said to himself, leaving the fresh roll of bandages he had taken from his room on Inosuke's bedside table. He took a glance at Inosuke and realized he looked more peaceful than he would have thought. His black and blue hair draped over his face and his smooth skin glowing in the moonlight. Tanjiro decided to tuck Inosuke into his blankets, very silently before leaving the room. He re-entered his own room and feel face down onto the bed and passed out...
