Silently in love - Sanegiyuu

15 / Mission gone slightly wrong

SANEMI POV:

Giyuu took his haori and left. I missed my chance! I thought it was slowly getting better since he ate some of the ohagi i made... guess not. I sat down at my kitchen table and sighed. Guess I'll just eat it by myself. I picked up the Ohagi and chewed it. But I can't focus on that, I needed to talk to him again... but he was going on a mission soon. I'll just find him as soon as I get back.

I'm meant to go back on duty tomorrow, but the next Hashira meeting isn't scheduled untill a day later... I have to just try to hunt him down. Does he even want to hear me out though? Well, if i sit here and do nothing I'll only regret it.

GIYUU POV:
My haori is still soaked and I have to get ready for my mission.. I can't leave without it. I went to my estate and got a towel and started rolling it in the towel and squeezing it. 'Please work' I thought. I did this for a long time but it was still kind of wet... I'll just go to the mission while it's wet I guess. My crow Kanzaburo reminded me "Kaw Kaw! Mission! Head to the Mountains up north past town! Kaw Kaw"

I can understand Kanzaburo by looking at his beak when he is giving orders, but it's only because i've had him since I was in the slayer corps... Im suprised he remember about the mission, and I just left. It was cold outside, maybe it was cause my haori was still damp.

I treaded through the town up north not far from where the corps headquarters were, and it was so bright and crowded with people. One person bumped into me . "Sir, would you care to donate?" His lips read. I pushed him aside . I had no time for that, there was a demon out here that needed taking care of. I soon reached the outside of the town and prepared myself. Kanzaburo landed on my arm and gave me directions. I followed them. It was now nearly nightfall and it was kind of hard to see through the forest. 'Ok Giyuu, keep your guard up.' I had to keep looking around to ensure nobody was following me. It was getting darker as I nearly reached the peak of the mountain, there was a path lined with trees. I looked around again and it looked ok. But I got a creepy feeling. A feeling that something was here. Probably the demon. I clenched my katana fast. Something was approaching I felt it. But I couldn't see it nor hear it and
I put my arm out for cover and it scratched my hand. Fuck fuck, where is the demon?

Before I knew it, the demon was standing in front of me. He had bloodshot eyes. I should focus... I took a stance and used Water breathing, 4th form, Striking tide and cut his arms but he regenerated quick. Was it a 12 Kizuki? I couldn't see anything on the eyes though.

"Nice form there, but i've taken a Hashira like you before." I saw it say. I couldn't be bothered to answer the demon, so I just took another stance. Then It charged at me and I had to react quick. I used Second Form, Water Wheel and slashed his body vertically. The demon jumped back a little bit, and I just looked at it. It wasn't too much to handle.

It got up at lightning speed and regenerated. I let my guard down for a second, and I got hit. In the stomach, his foot was in my stomach and he pulled it out quick. It was painful. I underestimated this demon. I clenched my stomach and tried to get up. Fuck , Cmon Giyuu, you're in the position of a Hashira, you have to do the job... I got up and looked at the demon. It's weak spot. But the demon was about to use blood demon art. Quickly, I got ready and did 11th Form, Dead Calm. It worked. Now is my chance, I used 6th form, Whirlpool and finally reached the demons Neck. It started to disintegrate. I didn't think a demon who kicked me in the stomach would... die quickly. but... it hurts... got to get back. I tried to run to reach home quickly but the injury slowed me down. Why me? Why did I get injured, it's embarrassing. I was running down the mountain and through the path holding my stomach . Maybe if I just get home quickly I can forget about this and get some sleep. The next hashira meeting wasn't untill 2 days so Maybe I could sleep tomorrow, or try. It never works anyway...
I didn't realise I was passing through the town again. Some people were watching me. I've got to run fast.. Just get home.
