Shizen no Kokyou. (Shinobu x Male Reader) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 32

We see a door open, as Y/N looks around.

Y/N: Damnit...! I can't seem to find anyone...! It's as if this place itself is trying to keep me away from the others...! If only I could sense what's goi-

Y/N gasps as his eyes widen in realisation.

Y/N: Sense...! That's it!

He sheathes his sword and gets down on one knee, as his mind drifts off to a memory of his.

-flashback-

We see Y/N walking around, as if he was searching for someone. That certain someone was located rather quickly after Y/N heard them screaming something.

???: FIGHT ME GOMPACHIRO!

Y/N keeps walking as he soon comes up against a door, which he opens to see Inosuke forcing Tanjiro to fight him, all while Tanjiro was simply braiding Nezuko's hair.

Y/N: Inosuke...

Inosuke: HUH?! It's you! The green hair dude!

Tanjiro: Mr. L/N...?

Y/N: It's Y/N... And I have some questions... Regarding your breathing technique.

Inosuke: *proudly* So you're saying that my breathing techniques are so good, that even a Hashira can't keep his eyes off of it, huh?!

Y/N: Indeed I am.

Inosuke: Alright. I'll answer you but before that...!

He points both his swords at Y/N.

Inosuke: FIGHT ME!!!

Y/N, seeing no other way out of this, sighs and nods at Inosuke.

Inosuke: ALRIGHT! I'M GOING TO CUT YOU UP IN PIECES, NATURE GUY!

Tanjiro: Don't give him weird names, idiot!

Y/N: ... *Sigh* Alright. Come to the training hall.

Inosuke looks at Y/N, proud that he just got the pacifist to fight him.

The two enter the hall, as Y/N grabs a bamboo sword, and tosses it to Inosuke, who easily grabs it.

Y/N thinks for some time, before grabbing another bamboo sword and tossing it to Inosuke as well, as he takes one for himself.

Y/N: Alright then. Using Total Concentration is allowed, but no cheap tricks. Am I clear?

Inosuke: CRYSTAL! NOW FIGHT ME!

Y/N nods as Inosuke readies his attack.

Inosuke: Total Concentration. Beast Breathing. Fourth Fang...! Slice n' Dice!

He starts to run towards Y/N, as he goes for multiple diagonal blows towards Y/N.

Y/N: Nature Breathing. Sixth form....

A wave of tranquility hits Inosuke as he stops in his tracks.

Y/N: Tranquility...

Inosuke: What... Is this...? I can't feel anything... And yet... It's as if I can feel everything...! What the crap?! This guy...

Before Inosuke could finish his thoughts, Y/N simply walks past him, as he swiped through the two bamboo swords and cuts them in two.

Inosuke: ...

His senses return to him as he stares at the broken bamboo swords in his hand.

Inosuke: This guy... He's crazy strong...! I didn't even see his attack...!

Y/N: It's done. Your movements were strong, but you could use a little accuracy rather than just raw strength.

Inosuke: ... Got it...
