An Endless Cycle (Muichiro X Reader)

Chapter 8:

Look at this pretty boy 🤭

-----

"Okay, here are the riceballs." You handed Inosuke the riceballs you had just made who had begun coming to you for food instead of stealing from Aoi.

Since you didn't chase him with a broom unlike Aoi. Though it was honestly his fault for stealing food from the kitchen.

"Yay!" Inosuke snatched the plate of riceballs out of your hand lifting his boar mask over his mask as he stuffed his face when the door suddenly swung open.

"HEY! YOU DAMNED DEMON-"

"If you say some shit like you're going to kill me cause I've been inside too long I'm going to punch you." You cut Sanemi off as you dried your hands.

The bastard already had his kanata out and everything, he was definitely going to say something like that.

"Wrong! I was going to say I saw you sitting in the shade to hide from the sun today, so I'm going to kill you!" Sanemi proudly declare, pointing an accusing finger at you.

And naturally, your immediate reaction was to facepalm. Cause honestly, what the hell is wrong with this dude?

"That's the same fucking thing!" You yelled out the next moment but Sanemi apparently didn't think so.

"Whatever! Die!" Sanemi charged forward with his sword after a whole twelve minutes of arguing.

"ARGH! NOT THIS AGAIN!" You quickly ducked his sword and ran out the kitchen as he spun on his and chased after you.

"INOSUKE! GET SHINOBU!" You instructed as you continued sprinting down the hallway.

'The fact that I'm getting used to his attack pattern is just plain sad.' You thought as you again dodged another attack.

Well, your heightened senses also played in a part in it but it was mostly due to how often this shit happened. And how long it's been going on for.

For some reason, after that conversation you two had shared that night. Sanemi had only become even more aggressive towards you.

You usually got through it unscathed though, unfortunately, you didn't get through it unscathed today. Just as Shinobu had arrived.

You made the mistake of lowering your guard and got a pretty deep cut on your forehead above your brow. Shinobu was pretty pissed at Sanemi for that.

"You do realize if you swung just an inch lower than it would've cost Y/n an eye right, Sanemi?" Shinobu asked with one of her usual signature pissed smiles.

"She would've just regenerated anyway..." Sanemi grumbled under his breath while sitting in a seize sitting position with his gaze on the floor beside him.

"What?" Shinobu asked in a dangerously pissed tone cause Sanemi to immediately straighten up.

"Nothing!" Sanemi grunted as Shinobu decided to leave it at that and tend to your injury.

You honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal but stayed silent.

You definitely weren't interested in saying that it wasn't such a big deal when Shinobu was already this pissed off.

Besides, you were more worried about Tanjirou and the other two he traveled with at the moment.

You had heard that now that they had fully recovered, they had been assigned a mission.
