TOUGH LOVE! Sanegiyuu

THREE

The next day, I run around the forest, killing whichever demon I see first. I'm doing what sanemi does to me. Taking out my anger.

I violently slash through each one with a sharp aim to the head and a easy way to sprint after I end their lives.

' Ara..are you sure about that? Or are you..'

' gay? '

I scoff in anger and I gripped my blade harder running tree to tree through the endless night with the wind blasting through my face. I can feel the bark sliding off of each tree that I step on. I scan the forest for the demons. I think I have killed about atleast 14 by now.

"Shitty Kocho!" I mutter to myself spotting another demon. I'm not gay, I hope...even if I was that was the most shittiest thing she could've done. Why did she have to target the both of us huh? Why is she such a BITCH to me?! I start tearing up but my running through the wind helps them dry up quickly. 

I feel tired and my body feels more than just weak, I couldn't help but notice that I look like I came from war and started a blood bath. I stop in my tracks with my body controlling me instead of my mind. I sit down on a log near by and I take sharp breaths.

"Fuck..." I shutter at the strong smell of demon blood stained on my uniform and haori. I drop my blade and I have realized I have many blisters and scratches from holding it and rubbing it so hard against the surface. So my hand is sore,  great.

I think of Shinobu. Loved and liked by almost everybody. Not to mention she does have some looks that could actually pull. But that's the only two traits that she has that is actually a good thing.

She's fake, not genuine, always puts on a smile to fool everybody. She is also a bitch to, what happened at the dinner, she just wanted to bully and call out people. I look up at the sky, the clouds remind me of Shinezugawa, or should I say Sanemi.

It's funny, how he was a victim of shinobus bullying. It's also funny that he was...gentle and nice with me. Like when he offered me to walk home with him I felt a little calmer, diminished atleast some anger knowing that he had my back. It's almost like he comforted me.

I would actually like to become friends, but maybe him being nice was almost a coincidence.

But I swear I caught a glimpse of him smiling. It's actually kind of...cute. But besides the point...

I'm still mad nonetheless still, and me killing these demons aren't doing it for me right now. I decided I'm going to head home.

I rise from the damp rock and pick up my blade, this time I put it back in the hilt because it stings my hand when I touch it. I realize I'm going to have to go to Shinobu to help with treating it. I get into a stance ready to start sprinting through the forest.

I start sprinting  across the vast forest. I step on a corpse of a demon I had just killed and I also step on many branches and having to jump over many logs.

But then...all out of nowhere...

I trip hard. I...tripped? What did I trip on though?!

I don't look down and my eyes close shut into the blackness and I collapse on the ground, this is it this is where I die to some shitty demon.

" Tomioka..!"

I'm woken by a flash of bright light coming from a mysterious source and welcomed by the smell of rubbing alcohol. I adjust my eyes to the light and feel the soreness of my body coming to me slowly. Groaning, I rub my eyes and I try to stretch successfully. To no avail I fail. My legs are the most sorest part of my body.

The bed I'm on feels stiff and the white bedsheets make it harder for me to adjust to the light for some reason. But I realize I'm in Shinobu's estate lying in on of the spare rooms she has to provide for her patients. I think a little, who brought me here and how DID I manage to pass out by a stupid trip?

I still haven't identified what is was but it was something sharp, it couldn't have been a simple branch because of it was a simple branch I wouldn't have to feel lazily done bandages across my lower leg.

I put a hand over my forehead and I taste the aftertaste or medicine in my mouth, tastes like...something like flowers.

I hear a tray clashing against the walls and I girl squealing 'ouch' or 'ugh' as she made her way towards me. The girls geta sandals clash on the wooden flooring and her footing sounds unstable.

When she comes in I identify her immediately.

That Aoi girl, one of shinobus apprentice, I remember her. She tried to be a demon slayer but she didn't have the courage, now she just helps around Shinobus estate. She came tumbling to me with a weak and messy tray.

"Your the...Water Pillar correct..?" She inquired, neatly setting the steel tray by my side. I nodded my head to her and she sighed.

"I see, Miss Shinobu isn't exactly fond of you." Silence broke into the conversation after the odd comment. She awkwardly chuckled at me, and continued with her work gathering medicine to serve me.

"If your wondering who brought you here, A man with white spikes hair carried you in his arms and he seemed to be awfully concerned. You had a big gash on your leg." She continued with a close eyed smile. When she opened her eyes all she saw was a shocked me.

The questions bombarded into my mind and it was all scrambled and none the less confusing. I mean it's simple that Sanemi would bring him here..but to hear that he has been concerned for me would be something else, it wouldn't surprise me to but everybody else aswell.

"I see." I reply back and she chuckled awkwardly at me topped off with a smile. Not to mention, but didn't kamado tell me she wasn't all that kind? I wonder why she keeps smiling around me.

"Take this." She said sternly and held a liquid  to my mouth. I open my mouth slowly and she feeds me it like a child. As soon as the spoon enters and exits my mouth I feel this nauseous feeling and my body starts to feel weak. I stare at the girl with my eyes wide open before I—
