𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋 ll セレスティアル

二十

A few moments before…

(Name) winced before she slowly opened her eyes. Her head pounded like crazy and she shakily raised a hand to feel her skull. Something wet flickered onto her fingertips and (name) groaned innerly when her head was bleeding.

It didn’t help that Kokushibo had headbutted her several times before.

Her eyes slowly adjusted to see the train, totally out of the tracks with its passengers scattered all across the land. (Name) was further away from the scene, and she felt a hand placed itself on her head. 

Turning herself, her (e/c) eyes met the ones of Kokushibo. She blinked and saw Zenitsu, sleeping and making a kissy face towards her. Before he could place a kiss on (name), Kokushibo put his hand between them and flicked the blond’s forehead. Nezuko was cuddled up between (name) and Zenitsu, while Kokushibo supported all their weights.

“You’re awake…” he muttered, and hoisted (name) into a more comfortable position.

“What happened?” (name) asked.

“The train fell apart… and you were knocked out…” the demon explained, “you were asleep… for a while…”

“And you didn’t wake me up?”

“You looked cute… when you were asleep...”

(Name) rolled her eyes at his words. She furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Rengoku were missing. Kokushibo seemed to sense her thoughts and he answered for her.

“The others… are in another area…” he began.

“Where?”

“On the other side… of the train…” he trailed off, “though I don’t think… I should tell you what’s… going on there.”

“Tell me, Kokushibo.” (name) snapped at him. 

“You’re in no shape to move…” the six eyed demon was about to continue when (name) gave him a death glare. 

A few moments of silence passed between the two, until Kokushibo gave in when (name) raised her fist.

“They are fighting… Upper Moon 3.”

(Name)’s eyes widened when she heard the news. She scrambled out of his grip and grabbed her blade that had fallen from the impact. Kokushibo was surprised when she darted away, towards the area where Akaza had arrived. Zenitsu stirred a bit and he saw (name)’s running figure disappear into the distance.

Kokushibo was about to follow (name), when he was suddenly pulled back.

He looked with annoyance to see Zenitsu, crying his heart out and grabbing his hakama pants with a tight grip.

“Kokushibo! Don’t leave me and Nezuko-chan behind! You have to protect us! Especially me!” he wailed and the Upper Moon twitched with anger.

Kokushibo tried to pull away from the blond’s grip, but Zenitsu only held on tighter. The tug-of-war continued for a bit, until Kokushibo pulled with all his strength - not caring if he was going to injure the thunder user.

WHOOSH

Zenitsu fell back when something came down fast. He winced from the impact and rubbed his head, only for his face to slowly pale. Kokushibo didn’t fall, but something else did. 

The Upper Moon 1’s hakama pants laid on the ground, revealing his undergarments from underneath.

Zenitsu gaped at the demon, while Kokushibo angrily grabbed his pants and put it back on.
