As I slice my sword through the air, everything happens in slow motion. I grit my teeth as my sword nears his neck to inject him with poison. I almost pierce his skin, when a shard of ice blocks me, the immediate force pushes me back a little. I don't let that stop me, as I still have enough power for 5 more attacks,

Five strikes more, and I still hopelessly get blocked by his ice shards. I land back on the ground after my sixth strike, he still stands there, a cunning smile spread across his face as I caught my breath. I'll need speed to at least pierce him once with my sword. I think of the best form to use to tackle him, but his voice interrupts me,

"It's my turn now, Shinobu-chan!" he exclaims gleefully,

I knit my brows together, I'll have to dodge all his attacks as that is all I can do, in order not to injure myself further than I already am. At the same time, I will use any chance I see an opening to inject him with poison, with that I keep a calm expression,

He disappears from my sight, I keep my guard up. I feel a presence behind me, I immediately jump out of the way, when a bunch of icicles dart through the air, they stick into the walls and floor before melting away,

I dart my eyes towards him, he stands still, still holding his war fans. He giggles, before he  doing a single wave of his fan, snowflakes form, and a cold breeze rushes towards me, I manage to get out of the way, from where he stands the floor freezes, spreading out. Soon the whole room is covered with ice, bits of snowflakes appearing out of nowhere falls, ice shards lay around,

Everything becomes stagnant, the air in the room becomes unbearably cold. I force my heavy breaths to a stop, as the icy air hurts my chest as I breathe. I immediately do another attack,

Insect breathing, fourth form, Hundred-Legged Zigzag,

I run towards him at a lightening speed, doing a zig zag pattern at the same time. Douma looks at the trails I leave behind, he looks confused for a second, but manages to pull on a cheerful look. As soon as I'm satisfied that Douma doesn't know my position is, I sprint towards him as fast as I can,

I point my sword towards his chest, before using all my power and momentum to pierce deep into his chest. My sword enters his chest, I hear him gasp in shock. I pull out my sword from his body, blood spills out of him. He immediately regenerates and the bleeding stops,

"Ahh, you pierced through my fan as well! That was pretty fast though!" he cooed,

What!? He blocked me? That must have meant he managed to pin point my position last minute, I hate to admit it but I guess he is the upper two for a reason, all in all his reflexes are pretty good,

I clear the thoughts in my head. Anyways I have pierced him once, that will mean the poison should at least lower his healing abilities in general,

I dash towards him, plunging my sword into his neck, I manage to do so, before pulling my sword out, blood shoots out splattering on the floor and  his clothing. It bleeds for a few seconds before closing back up, I look in disbelief,

"Surprised? I made sure your sword was demon friendly, so I removed all traces of poison on you, the soup you drank also diluted the poison you have in your body by ten times, so it didn't hurt me that much. How sad Shinobu-chan, really seeks revenge." he says sadly,

Anger boils up within me, how did he find out? Who told him!?

"Ahh yes, I already know about your poison in general," he lights up, "I wouldn't have known about your body full of poison, but you know humans are weird, you were talking about it in your sleep." he laughs,

WHAT THE FUCK!!?? I WAS TALKING IN MY SLEEP??? HOW!! WHAT!? I mixture of pure fury and embarrassment fills my head. I'm supposed to be angry, I mean I'm angry, I'm always angry, but I gave away all my plans because I was talking in my sleep?? A feeling of regret and hopelessness, makes me lower my sword,

Memories of Kanae when she was still alive, flood my thoughts. I miss you Kanae, I wish I could have done something then, I'm so useless, I can't even decapitate a demon's head alone, am I good enough? A memory of her giving words of encouragement to me, lights up a spark within me. Anger rages through me, for the first time I break my cool demeanour entirely, my face contorts angrily, I let out a loud yell,

"You emotionless monster!" I spit, "Do you know how much she meant to me? She was my last true family! Everyone I've loved, were either hurt or killed by demons!!! Why don't you monsters understand?! You murder innocent people, without feeling a bit of guilt! You do this all for him!!! If all the demons were like Nezuko, no one would get hurt!" I scream,

Tears of anger stream down my face. My grip tightens round my sword. For the first time in forever, my anger takes control of me. I run towards him at my limit, my thinking goes ahead of me. I appear before him in the air, before swinging my sword, plunging it into his neck, I hear his neck crack, before my sword pushes through, and out of his neck,

I tug my sword with all the force I had, making his head detach. It hits the wall, and rolls down onto the floor. It faces me, his face still holds an amused smile,

"Ahh, Shinobu-chan-" he begins,

I cut him off by stabbing him in his mouth, I twist my sword, making sure blood flows freely. He gargles the blood, as he tries to talk, I don't give him a chance. I repetitively stab his face, his eyes, nose, mouth, I made sure he suffered. Soon all was left, was a bloodied face, that wasn't even recognisable,

I catch my breaths, as my anger starts to decline, my adrenaline lowers. Is this it? It can't be, it was too easy,

"Are you done?" I turn to see Douma, in good shape, looking at me with a stern face,

I grit my teeth, Dammit.
