Kisatsutai/ An Inotan Story

Chapter 16

"..Inosuke....Inosuke....INOSUKE WAKE UP"
Inosuke's head shot up from his desk, his hair messy and his eyes half-closed.
He surveyed his surroundings to see him in an empty classroom. Well almost empty. Tanjiro was the only other person in the room.
"You really need to pay attention sometimes you know" Tanjiro complained.
"Yeah I'm sorry. Why'd you wait up? You'll miss out on your lunch" Inosuke asked, slightly concerned.
"Isn't it obvious? I wanna have lunch with you" Tanjiro smiled.
Inosuke clearly wasn't expecting that reply, the deep shade of red on his face clearly showing how surprised he was.
He looked to the side before speaking.
"I...wanna...have lunch with you too" Inosuke said, still looking away from his boyfriend.
Tanjiro stifled a giggle before standing up and extending his hand towards Inosuke.
"Then shall we?" Tanjiro smiled.
Inosuke took his hand and they both exited the building.

The two of them walked to the cafe they had their previous date at. Tanjiro really liked the cafe and wanted to try it again. Inosuke didn't mind so long as he didn't see Zenitsu there. They took their seats and ate to their hearts content. Not long after they returned to campus.
Tanjiro asked Inosuke to wait outside the dorm because he had to ask a teacher that passed by a few questions and Inosuke agreed. Suddenly, Inosuke heard someone call out to him

"Oi pretty boy!" The voice yelled. Inosuke turned his head to see a young man with rainbow coloured eyes staring back at him.
"What do you want?" Inosuke asked, also noticing the two others trailing beside him. One had hair almost as red as Tanjiro's and the most sleek eyes. He was trailing behind the rainbow coloured man with a book in his hand. The other man behind him had jet black hair and deep blue eyes.
"Is that any way to talk to your upperclassmen?" The rainbow coloured man replied
"If you don't need anything from me, feel free to piss off" Inosuke hissed, sensing that these guys were trouble.
"Come now Inosuke... You wouldn't want me telling the whole school about you and your little burgundy boyfriend" The rainbow man snickered. Inosuke's eyes widened as he looked at him with a mixture of terror and immense hatred.
"Who are you?" He asked
"You can call me Douma. On my left is Kaigaku and on my right is Kokushibou" Douma smiled as the black haired boy grinned while the red haired boy showed no response.
"What do you want from me?" Inosuke asked
"A little bird down the street told me you used to steal from people am I wrong?" Douma jeered. Inosuke simply growled in response before Douma continued.
"I'll drop you my contact number. I need you to teach a few people a few lessons..."
"You want me to steal for you" Inosuke interjected
"So you do have a brain in there" Douma smiled. A minute of complete silence passed before Inosuke finally spoke up.
"You...can fuck right off creep" Inosuke replied coldly. Not even 3 seconds after his response he was met by a fist to the face, making him tumble to the floor.
"How dare you speak to Douma like that!" Kaigaku yelled as he repeatedly began kicking Inosuke on the ground, Douma just heartily laughing in the background. Kaigaku continued assaulting Inosuke before he was stopped by none other than Kokushibou.
"Stop. He's hurt enough" Kokushibou said, lowly. This seemed to be enough because Kaigaku backed off immediately. Douma crouched down to Inosuke, who was coughing and struggling to get back up.
"If you want your little secret to be protected, you'll text me" Douma whispered before walking off, Kaigaku following behind. Kokushibou followed them as well but stopped once he reached Inosuke. Without looking at him, he dropped a tube next to Inosuke's head.
"Ointment. For the bruises" He said before he walked off...

"INOSUKE!" Tanjiro yelled in the distance. Inosuke looked up from the floor and saw his boyfriend running towards him. The last thing he recalled was his blurry figure bending over him before he lost consciousness...
