Do It For Him

I'm The Master Of Me

Zenitsu slowly opens his eyes, his vision slightly blurry. His body aches and he's almost scared to move. He tries to move his arm and he feels a sharp pain. He turns his head and Uzui is lying face down, blood soaking his hair.

For some reason, this is what makes Zenitsu crawl over to him, despite all the pain. He leans over him, he's got bruises and cuts all over him. He looks at the back of his head, and there's a huge gash where he was hit. Zenitsu feels tears fill his eyes. Uzui is still breathing, but it's slow. Zenitsu touches his cheek and lifts his head to rest on Zenitsu's lap. He glances around the room, well, the cell they're in. He's surprised they were put in one together. Zenitsu hears footsteps and he shields Uzui.

"Look who's awake." Zenitsu glares at the person in-front of them. He doesn't know who it is. He's got black hair, red, demon-like eyes. His face shows no emotion. He's dressed in fancy clothing. He crosses his arms and stares for a while. Zenitsu gets unnerved by this and scowls at him.

"Asshole, what are you staring for!?" Zenitsu screams, but a chill runs down his spine when he sees the look on the man's face. He's absolutely livid, almost purple in the face. Zenitsu bites his lip to keep from crying.

"You'll be lucky I'm not going to kill you now. You'll die in exactly 24 hours." Zenitsu jolts and his eyes go wide.

"W-why?! Wha-"

"Be quiet." As he says that, Zenitsu instantly closes his mouth. He has a feeling if he keeps talking, he'll die. "I'm Muzan Kibutsuji. I don't care what you have to say. It's useless to me anyway. I suggest you say goodbye to that monster before I kill both of you." And he leaves, just like that. Zenitsu is left speechless and scared. He looks at Uzui's face. He knows Uzui got hit way harder than him. Zenitsu presses his forehead against Uzui's.

"Please... Please wake up..." Zenitsu sobs, tears running down his face. "Jii-chan... what do I do?"

"Zenitsu, if there's nobody else, fight."

Zenitsu's eyes fly open. It wasn't Uzui who said that. He looks around, nobody. Zenitsu furrows his eyebrows. He takes off his sweater and places it under Uzui's head. He looks at him one last time.

"I'll save you, I promise."

Zenitsu looks around the cell, looking for anything that can be used as a weapon or tool. He has an idea and starts screaming at the top of his lungs. Something he has much experience with. Unfortunately, he gets out of breath quickly. His chest and ribs hurt. What did they do to him?!

He continues to scream, despite how painful it is. He hears a pair of footsteps. He grins, but he glares at the man. He unlocks it and starts to come over to start beating him. But Zenitsu's faster and breaks his arm. The guard screams and doubles over. Zenitsu steps on his neck and breaks it, killing him instantly. He didn't exactly mean to. But it doesn't really matter. He knows this'll cause a commotion and he takes all the guards' weapons and keys. He's been in a situation like this so he's got a little experience.

He steals all the weapons the guy had. A Mk2 combat knife. He remembers that Uzui really likes this type of knife. Most people probably couldn't identify a knife if they tried, but Uzui's combat knife collection is quite impressive.

He sees a single-thigh belt harness that can hold the knife on the guy's thigh. Zenitsu takes it off and slides it on himself, he tightens the straps to make sure it won't slip off. He sees the gun holster and steals that too.

Zenitsu peeks outside of the cell. There's no guard, was he the only one? Zenitsu looks back looking at Uzui's resting face. He frowns and lets out a deep sigh. He runs over to the door and opens it quietly. He sees three more guards.
