Promise - A Sanekana Fanfiction

' 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐚 '

Sanemi's POV

"Shinazugawa!"

A female voice called out, I ignore it as I continue to fight the demon. Eventually, I realize that voice belonged to Kocho's as the mention of my name repeated until it got closer as she was beside me.

The demon soon attacked me again, striking my chest as I fell back and grunted. Kocho kept the demon pinned down as she came to aid me.

"I'm fine on my own." I stated, turning away from her gaze, I was irritated.

"You're being reckless again." She said, taking out bandages she kept with her, and asking again; "Do you need me to aid you?"

"Tch," I take the bandages from her ands and gesture that I can do it by myself. She had a somewhat concerned expression on her face but then she nodded, heading back to the demon and continuing to battle with it. I watched her fight it.

Was I admiring her? No, it's not that.

I finish wrapping the bandage around my wound, getting up as I wield my blade out once again, rushing to attack the demon from behind. I slash its nape as the demon roars, lashing out another strike at the two of us.

Soon after, we defeat the demon. Heading out of the house, there appeared to be another one. I groaned and Kocho, who was beside me, wielded out her blade once again, as I did the same and ran towards the next demon.

Kanae's POV

"Shinazugawa-" I called out to him, although he had already made his way towards the demon, causing me to sigh once again as I observe their moves, then finally rushing towards the two.

With this, I notice the demon was agile, and would not quickly vanish when beheaded. I attack from behind, stabbing through its chest as it groans it pain.

Timeskip to an hour later.

We arrived at the Butterfly Estate, as we were finally finished with defeating the raid of demons, I felt exhausted due to fighting as I turn my head to look at Shinazugawa who was in front of me, he was drenched in blood. I approach him, placing a stool at his beside, holding the needed medical equipment and placing it on the table. I started to treat his wounds, trying to be as gentle as I can.

"You're still reckless, Shinazugawa. I told you to stop that." I said in concern, analyzing his body for any vital wounds, until I spotted a gash across his shoulder, which he was covering with his hand.

"Why do you care?" He said in an irritated tone, his eyebrows furrowed as he glared at me. I sigh as I place one of my hands on my hip, looking at him.

Sanemi's POV

I continue to stare at her, agitated. She sighs, as I glare at her, tilting my head slightly to the side for her to continue speaking. She opens her mouth slightly to speak up, until I interrupt her.

"It's not my point of living anyway," I scoff. "What do you mean by that?" She asks, her head tilted and her pale purple eyes staring at me in confusion. I sigh heavily, crossing my arms as I lean back on the wall, glaring right at her.

"I couldn't care more about it." I sigh heavily, turning my head away to avoid the look in her eyes. It was annoying to me, the way people could simply think about the wellbeing of themselves, or about me. I'd rather stick alone.

"Shinazugawa." She calls my name out in a gentle tone, although I don't bother to glare back at her. I remain staring at the wall, not minding her. But then she speaks up, words that were able to catch my attention.

"Please, just take care of yourself. At least three meals a day, proper hygiene, and don't over work yourself. Get enough rest."

Her tone was soft, almost angelic as I met her gaze, her bright purple eyes which shimmered lightly in the dim room. I had also noticed the way she treated me, the way her touch had always been delicate and gentle. Looking at her, as I see a slight vision of him. Then, I suddenly remember it.

"Sanemi," A faint voice spoke, I worriedly rush to him, gently holding his head up with a towel, cleaning the wounds as I stared at him with my teary eyes, watching him as he was drenched in blood. "No, no," I said breathily, my eyes darting around to look for a solution. "Please, Sanemi. I just want you to take care.."

I stared at him.

"Take three meals a day.. Take a bath regularly.. And make sure to not over work yourself.. okay?"

"Masachika," I said silently, snapping back at reality, Kocho tilting her head, seemingly not hearing my words. My eyes widened as I stared down the floor, that was almost the exact same thing Masachika said.

"Hey, Shinazugawa.." She said, again, in that same compassionate tone which I was almost sick of. Not completely sick of, for some reason. I was unsure of that reason, I hated it. "If you ever need help, I'm here." She assured me, her lips curving up gently into a kind smile as she continued to look at me. "Tch." I turned away as she was finally done with my wounds, I felt agitated again.

I stood up from the bed, exiting the room without a word, and without looking back. I did not want anything to do with her, or anyone at all for the rest of the night. I shut the door closed, then headed to my own estate despite the fact I knew I needed proper rest.

They wanted the best for me, but I couldn't care enough. There was no point in living if demons existed in this world. I have no goal. No goal at all.

Except the goal I have for my brother.

Some time later, I head back to the Shinazugawa Residence, sliding the door open and closing it afterwards. I felt angry, although I also felt guilt. I didn't want anybody to be here for me, and yet Kocho cared about my wellbeing.

It's not special, anyway. She cares for everyone, I'm no exception.

All she did was remind me of Masachika, it was no help at all, it just made me feel worse, right?

Masachika..

He really cared for me, so did mother. Was Kocho the same? Were the others the same?

There was no way.
