"I can't believe I'm here."

When you approached the house you finally caught up with Yoriichi when he had left you in the dust. You were met with his back as he stood on the front porch.

"Hey, is something wrong?"

You asked him as you started walking up the steps; once next to him, you heard him mumbling.

"This wasn't a good idea."

"What?"

"It wasn't a good idea to bring you here."

"Oh? Well, it's too late for that. How bout you go in first and inform your brother that you've been traveling with a demon. Seems easy enough, right?"

Yorichii grunted and then started up the steps; he slid open the door and closed it shut as you stood outside.

I'm fucked

Instead of standing outside awkwardly, you decided to explore the rest of the property. You went towards the back of the house since they lacked a fence, and saw a huge building.

That must be where he trains

It's a pretty big home for just two people, you walked further in to see rows of training swords and dummies.

"Wow."

You should be intimidated by such things but it's actually interesting. You walk to the section with the training swords and pick one up; you then take a stance much like Yorichii would do.

"Yah!"

You swing the sword down; the swift motion admits a whistle as it cuts through the air. You tighten your grip and then turn to face one of the dummies.

Ahem

You went into the "zone".

"Greetings demon, are you prepared to parish?" You said in a deep voice, trying to mimic Yorichii.

Whoosh

You struck the dummy on its shoulder, but the fake sword bounced back and nearly knocked you in the face.

"Okay, that's enough of that."

Hiss~

"Mhm? You wanna come out?"

Hisss~

"Ok, ok."

You raised your arm to let Ekon enjoy some fresh air. When he fully emerged, you sat down in the middle of the dojo; you started getting bored waiting on Yorichii. You sat in silence while you clicked your tongue against the roof of your mouth.

This is taking an awful amount of time

You sit in guess what? More silence. But get this: this time, it's followed by the howling wind, so enchanting.

"Please, hurry up Yorichii."

Yorichii's POV

I gave Y/n one last glance then shut the door, shortly after I heard her footsteps going out back. I removed my shoes and placed them in the corner; I saw that my brother had left his there as well, although they were put up more neatly.

I walked throughout the rest of the house looking for him; I did a quick sweep of the kitchen, main rooms, and backrooms. I couldn't find him in those places; I finally went to check his room. I reached out my hand to grab the handle, but I hesitated when I heard the bang of a gong.

"I see you've finally returned, brother."

"Yes," Yorichii said while he slowly slid open the door to see his brother kneeling in the middle of the floor with his hands resting in his lap. He slowly turned his head to speak.
