You and Inosuke run for a while, getting far enough before you grab a hold of Inosuke's arm and pull him behind a tree next to you.
Clearly this was a big problem, you had just been recently poisoned and then cured by some random lady and you had no sword now. Inosuke looked really injured and if he kept on bleeding like that, he could probably die.
What did him and Tanjiro go through while you were waiting for Zenitsu to calm down?
"How are we going to kill it?"
"I don't kn-" You cover Inosuke's mouth through his boar mask before slowly removing it, silently telling him to be quiet.
"This isn't good!" Inosuke whispers, freaking out when he sees the demon that was tracking the two of them.
"Inosuke." You start, gaining his attention and giving him a small smile.
"It is going to be okay, we won't die alright?"
He doesn't respond, instead he just looks at you before turning his head away, almost like he was being bashful or giddy, you weren't sure. But it was a bit cute for someone so rough
"Damnit, hiding away like a woodland creature, how pathetic is that? I gotta find a way to turn things around. How do you cut someone who's sword proofed anyway?"
"He's sword proofed? How-"
"What should we do? What can we do?" Inosuke whispers out, having an existential crisis just like Zenitsu was before.
"What's the way for me to get in there and hurt it? Think, think, think!"
"Inosuke! Look out!" You yell when you see the demon right behind the two of you, pushing him out of the way and running before it could grab either one of you.
"This is bad! This is really bad! We have to survive until Tanpiro gets back! Somehow!"
"Calm down Inosuke! We can figure this out! You shouldn't be thinking things like that! We'll-"
That's when Inosuke abruptly stopped running, scaring you when he grabbed your shoulders.
"Inosuke?!"
"You're right! Why the hell am I thinking things like that?!"
What is even going on? This had to be some sort of fever dream right? Especially since Inosuke started running towards the danger, Like, why?
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!"
You groan a bit, quickly following him just in case he needed help. Once you see him jump and slam one of his swords into the demon's arm, you slide under the demon and grab its other arm so that the demon wouldn't be able to attack Inosuke.
"I must have gotten infected by Tantiro's germs!"
"... Is that how you actually pronounce his name?" You ask, struggling but succeeding in holding onto the arm as Inosuke hits his sword into the demons skin.
"I can't let my guard down again! Using my head?! That kinda thing isn't like me at all! Agh!" Inosuke declares with a yell, finally cutting through the arm. He jumps next to your side and surprisingly hands you one of his jigsaw like swords in a very kind manner.
"You see? It was as simple as that, if you can't cut something with a sword, all you gotta do is pound on it with another sword, so don't look down on me cause I'm not weak samurai! Plus, It's just our luck that we've got the tools for the job! HAHAH! I am untouchable!"
All you do is nod your head in response to what he was saying, all the while, trying your best not to laugh at his quick emotions. You tighten your hold on the sword, preparing yourself to be attacked by the demon only for it to do a one eighty and run the opposite direction.
