Scars Of Love | Iguro Obanai

27

The moment you left the scene was the worst thing Iguro and Mitsuri experienced in their lives.

"My lotus thought about such things" he playfully said as his foot kicked Mitsuri in a few miles while Iguro had to deal with Douma's blood demon art.

How did they end up fighting an uppermoon two in such short notice? They should've known, but why was is so right on time when you left them there without anything but a smile. Was meeting you such a disaster if this happens? Mitsuri believed this was only a coincidence, while Iguro cursed your existence for being the reason why they had to deal with Douma.

He had a manic grin on his smug face "Pillars, but can't even ruin me despite being a team?"

"My lotus would have been better than this Sakura mochi looking girl" Douma scoffed at Mitsuri, as if he wanted to look down on her bloodline for even making a woman like her.

Iguro on the other hand didn't let that slide as he became more enraged than earlier, breathing technique after another. He couldn't even stop there even if he wanted to, Mitsuri wasn't even moving from her spot after being attacked emotionally. So it was just him and Douma.

While Douma floats in the air, his eyes glared at the serpent pillar like he was the one saving some person here and not the other way around. His blood demon art clashed with Iguro's breathing technique tirelessly, his stamina was better than his it was undeniable. Douma is a demon after all while Iguro is still a human, being a pillar against an uppermoon might be good when you make it out alive.

But it's a complete nothing when you end up dying while the pest is still living there roam free, even being alive without killing it would be humiliating. He wasn't going to let Douma free, he wasn't going to allow that.

"You have the nerve" Iguro hissed at him as he managed to dodge a few attack, only to be severely injured by some unnoticed shards "To say that to her!"

Douma laughed at how pathetic Iguro looked at the moment "My lotus has been the prettiest ever since, I can compare whoever I want. At times like this, I would have asked you to become a demon."

More shards but bigger ones than before plunged towards Mitsuri's direction only for the serpent pillar to block the attack right on time, the only problem here is that she was still in a daze and it was only him who was fighting over all. Even he had to admit that Kanroji was being annoying at the time, she was emotional. But a battlefield isn't something to take so lightly.

"There's no room for such things Obanai" your words snapped him out of a daze after some demon recognized him, turns out it was one of those kind who almost ate him when he was young after he became an offering for such a gut wrenching thing.

You were there to do most of the work, your blade almost breaking as you fought the demon as he sat on the ground helplessly battling his mind.

"We have no time for daydreams."

" IGURO-SAN!! " a loud ear piercing scream snapped him out of his thoughts, his eyes in a blur as he realized that he almost got stabbed by a frozen shard.

Douma was still in his same stance, he didn't move at all and kept on attacking no matter what. Mitsuri got back on her feet and dodged the shards perfectly, it was nothing compared to how you work. She was fast, but you were known for that. She was strong, but you tried so hard to be one. She was determined, but your passion to keep everyone safe and your burning love for the people around you made you stand in every place before you became a pillar.

He stood there quietly before his foot pushed down on the ground and he leapt to attack Douma once more.

The more they fought, the more he saw some memories of you trying so hard to surpass anyone just to let him see that you weren't just someone who got lucky. But he wasn't going to admit that, you were more resilient than all of them combined. You weren't just swift physically, but mentally, and emotionally.

You were already powerful with that, if only you weren't so focused on trying to get him to notice you. It only broke you in the long run which had you depressed for who knows how long, a once commendable pillar became a demon due to a stupid reason.

"Who knew that a Sakura mochi like you could fight?" Douma mocked her as he sent more shards to Mitsuri's direction "Die."

Kanroji was lucky enough to dodge some shards, but some were unforgiving and it pierced right through her skin. A dramatic yell could be heard when those shards stabbed her arm and legs, her face were pierced with tiny shards in which Douma grinned at.

"At this moment I wouldn't have touch one of you" he truthfully said "But I had to make an exception for the one who broke my lotus into pieces, do you have to guess?"

"I observed her for so long already, ah. Maybe you might've guessed who I'm talking about, but who cares about that?" Douma pierced the shards deeper into Mitsuri's skin causing her to scream louder while Iguro seethed in anger.

The uppermoon two simply looked at Iguro with a cold gaze " You are only a human who can't decapitate me even if you try, a pillar like you should resign as you couldn't even lay a finger on me. "

" As for you young girl" Douma placed his attention to the suffering love pillar and scowled " As much as I want you dead, I don't want my lotus suffering from grief. "

His hand was quick to move his fan in a retrieval motion which made the shards that once stabbed Mitsuri pull out from her skin which caused her another scream of agony while Iguro stood there looking at the scene in anger.

" You can't even save your pathetic friend, the both of you are too weak to be a demon slayer. "

" You should retire, both of you. "
