Chapter Thirteen: Something More Important In Life W/C: 1765
Zenitsu clings to Shouichi's haori as he drags him down the endless maze of the Tsuzumi mansion.
"Where are you Tanjirooooo???? Tatsuo??????" Zenitsu cried, shivering at the creepy sound he kept hearing, hoping Tanjiro and Tatsuo would be okay.
Shouchi pursed his lips, "Um. Zenitsu, is it just me, or are we just going around in circles?"
Zenitsu froze, "Ah! Haha. I knew it! I was getting the same feeling, that's my boy Shouichi! I knew I could count on you!"
"Eh?"
"All right, scan the room! See if its safe!" The yellow demon slayer called out to the young child.
"Ahh." Shouichi grimaced with an almost cringy look on his face.
Zenitsu whined, "What the hell?! All right, all right, just stop giving me that look! Ill do it myself!!"
Zenitsu slowly peeks around the eerie door way, finding it to be usually quiet and empty.
"Eek! Its empty.. lets go this way!" Zenitsu grabs Shouichi and runs down the hallway.
Soon, the creepy sound irritates Zenitsu's ears, making him squeak as the rooms started to flip and doors started to open erratically.
Zenitsu held onto Shouichi as they were shoved into the outside world... Tanjiro and Miyake were now alone...
{*}
The mansion walls turn once again, making Miyake blow a raspberry in boredom as Tanjiro essentially fought for his life and his morality.
Miyake furrowed his brows as the room started turning and flipping and changing like a rubix cube, making the Hashira more and more agitated with the scene.
Tanjiro hisses in pain, dodging another claw attack, "I can do it! I'm a guy that gets things done! Broken bones or not, no matter what, I can do it! I can't make myself a fool in front of Miyake-Kun..."
Miyake pursed his lips, gingerly watching Tanjiro to make sure he was doing okay, so far the only thing the young slayer could do was dodge.
As the room spun around and changed axis', multiple attacks were shot at Tanjiro. Many of which were easily but tensely dodged, it seemed the demon wasn't focused on hurting Miyake at all. If anything, it seemed to desperately try to keep him alive.
Miyake smirked, amusement coursing his veins as he observed Tanjiro quickly and effectively veer himself away from the demons attacks. Throwing the lantern he was holding, Tanjiro held onto the doors edge.
The attacks fell and ceased to cause any true damage, Miyake nodded proudly, "Good job, Tanjiro."
Kyougai grimaced in anger, "Agh! This is so annoying! I need to devour some rare blood, Merechi!"
