Atsuo felt the wind leave his lungs as he was tackled to the ground. Heart beating impossibly fast and his sweat felt so cold.
For a second he couldn't feel the pain over his bandaged injury as he stared at the night sky with his mouth agape. Glancing down at who pushed him out of danger's way, he saw you.
You were looking at him like he was crazy as time seemed to slow down around you both.
Literally.
Atsuo could notice the change of the atmosphere around them, the leaves and grass slowing its sway with the wind, the birds almost frozen mid-air, the demon still stretching its hand to the spot he was meant to be in.
But before he could utter a word of what was happening, your eyes snapped back to the demon with pure insanity as time went faster again.
Then there was the sound of the demon's hand crashing somewhere else as it gasped once it realized his targets were nowhere in sight.
It looked around frantically before it's wide and crazed eyes landed on the two of you.
Atsuo watched as you stood up once more, making him panic and grasp your sleeve as he sat up, hissing as his hand covered the reopened wound on his stomach.
"[Name] stop—you're pushing yourself too hard! We should run!"
"no."
This time it was him that looked at you like you just grew two heads. He was about to protest when he suddenly noticed your arm.
It was twisted at an inappropriate angle. The sight alone made him nauseous. He couldn't see your face expression with your back turned to him but he felt just how painful it must have felt just from watching.
Did that happen because of how fast you had to get him out the way?
Before he could ask, he gasped and felt like he was gonna throw up from the cracking and popping of your limb as you relocated it without a beat of hesitation.
Though he had to act fast as you started to get into an offensive stance once more.
Atsuo was seeing a side of you that he never knew existed. Right now he didn't see his level-headed and witty sister. What he saw in you at that moment resembled a resilient and ruthless soldier in the battlefield.
"[Name], please! Let's just run!"
"This bastard tried to kill you."
"And it tried to kill you too! You were the one that told me to run at the sight of this thing!"
