"Where'd the hell did that abomination go to?!"

Running through the thick dark forest I could feel my lungs burning, finding it difficult to tame it whilst Inosuke and I were too wary. Suddenly Inosuke's voice begins to gurgle as his feet stumble, seeing him collapse succumbing to his critical injuries. "Insouke!--"

He waves his hand angrily, "It's just a scratch," his voice strains, clearing seeing he wasn't doing good.

"Listen........you need to step down, you could be a liability if you're unable to battle," I explain hastily, 

"I'm fine! It doesn't hurt at all!!!!" He protests, finding his movements more stiff and harder to move around. "It's not a damn problem! I've had enough of this, stand back pretty boy.......I've got this....I'm gonna sniff him out for good!"

Before I could speak I decided to help him out, taking a moment of my own silence and his laboured breathing to try and locate the demon.

However I felt a chill run down my spine when I felt eyes from above, as we both soon locate the demon, "There it is, in the tree above!!!"

"You dumb brain bafoon!!! How high did you climb?!" Inosuke blabbers on, seeing the big father spider hugging the branch while it's body was trembling. "Bastard! Your gonna try and force me to use my head again, huh?! I don't think so--"

The Demon continues to growl, seeing it's razor sharp teeth baring at us threateningly.

"Inosuke maybe we shou--"

"Oh I get it, he's trembling with fear and dread at the mere sight of me, huh?!" Inosuke says, with a voice that sounded like he was grinning ear to ear. "Hahaha!!! Well it's about too late for that!!!!!"

My eyes slowly widen in horror when his victory became short when the spider demon's body emits steam from it's body, seeing it's body transforming into a bigger and stronger body.

"What's going on?" Inosuke steps back. "Did it just shed it's skin?!"

"Whatever it did, it's demonic aura just upgraded!!!!" I swallow thickly, before seeing it rear back on it's feet and lunges towards us. The ground shook beneath us from it's landing creating a crater beneath it, before realising it was even bigger and stronger. "Oh.....shit......"

My jaw clamps shut, trying to keep myself calm remembering Big Sis' words. Don't panic, because it'll only kill you...........

"T-This......this is too much," Inosuke chokes out, sensing his fear suddenly hit him all at once. His voice was desperate to get out of here desperate how injured he was, "This is looking really bad, I've never......felt this much force from an opponent before! A single strike would pulverise us!......it's no good, we can't win--" his hands drop to his sides in a defeated stance.

Drawing my blade back into my scabbard swiftly, I gather strength within my legs and pushed forward analysing the demons next motives.

Without even thinking I manage to catch the heavy fist that drew towards Inosuke, I felt the full brunt of the attack run from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. My jaw grinds forcefully shut the moment I held the giant fist, before gathering my strength by pushing the demon away with everything I had. My body screaming at me finding this demon much stronger, but right now I must keep Inosuke alive despite our differences. 

"....No way am I gonna lose!!!!!" Inosuke shouts abruptly, while I kept stalling the spider demon for a little longer. Noticing that Inosuke finally snapped out of it, a smirk curls upon my lips sensing his strength back again. "I'm Inosuke Hashibira, of the Demon Slayer Corps! Give me the worst you got, you piece of shit! Now, Taco!!!!"
