Rengokus Demise (Rengoku demon au)

Mission: search the forest! (6)

POV 1:

Zenitsu groaned. Ugh! Why did they have to make us run, and search through the forest for rengoku too???

He watched the demon slayers seem to spread and weave through the forest. He glanced towards Inosuke, who was chuckling at the scenario. He sighed loudly, narrowing his eyes on the path that stretched out in-front of them.

"Inosuke.." he panted.
"What do you want, sentitus???"
"It's zenitsu, you dumb hog!"
"Benitzu."

Zenitsu frowned. He's hopeless.

"Talk to monjiro! He's next to you."

Zenitsu glanced over at tanjiro, his own face twitching in irritation. He could tell Tanjiro was clearly worried, even though they were running- it was easy to see. Tanjiro looked desperately around the forest, worried and concerned for their fellow hashira. Then suddenly everyone came to a halt... the sun was beggining to set.

"Everyone, start heading back please! Get ready for your missions!" A cheeky voice called out, coming from the front.

It was clearly mitsuri.

"We will continue our search tomorrow!" She yelled out again.

The slayers seemed disappointed, but followed orders and headed back towards the slayers headquarters. Zenitsu turned around, grabbing inosukes wrist and trying to drag him along. But to his surprise... he wouldn't budge, he continued to heave and try pull him- but he stood his ground.

"Come on, we need to go too" zenitsu grumbled.
"But, konjiras staying." Insouke pointed towards Tanjiro.

Tanjiro had noticed half the hashira were staying to continue their search, and he figured he would too. Zenitsu moaned in complaint, but followed after his friends who dove deaper into the forest.

POV 2:

I'm... so... hungry..

The thought mindlessly repeated in head, it was like his brain was running just off the idea of eating. It was strange.
But, Rengoku didn't crave food.

I want..

He froze, stumbling slightly as he stopped running and came to a complete stop. He'd made it too the edge of the forest now, and just infront of him laid out a small town. The golden glow casted out just infront of the forest, and the sound of people laughing, and just genuinely having a good time echoed throughout the night. He stepped foward, blinded by his hunger as the smell of humans wafted towards him.

Blood... I want, blood.

POV 1:

Tanjiro hurried foward, running in line with the hashiras. He ignored their confused glances, instead focusing on helping find rengoku.

"Tanjiro, wait!" Zenitsu called out frantically, panting loudly as he caught up.

Inosuke and zenitsu followed just short behind Tanjiro. He ran, keeping up with the other pillars... when suddenly he smells something. A small tingle crosses his nose as he picks up the faint... demonic smell he'd smelt coming off rengoku. the scent was very crooked too.

"Guys, I smell him!" Tanjiro yelled?
"Really." Sanemi asked sarcastically.
"Yea, follow me!"

Sanemi hesitantly looked foward- watching asTanjiro ran ahead, the hashira forming a line behind him as they followed. He joined in and eventually they got to the edge of the forest, and the trios blood seemed to run cold at the sight of the village.

"Oh no.."mitsuri mumbled, turning to see the other 3 hashira who had stayed- sanemi, Tengen, and shinobu. They all seemed equally as dreadful.
