Akahana flinched as she pulled the deeply stuck knife out of her shoulder,gritting her teeth and tossing it at a forgotten part of the area. Akiyo went to her,taking her arm and looking at the wound. "Tch… Damn it..." He grumbled. He glanced at her scarf,then he took it from her neck. Akahana gasped as the warm feeling of the scarf left,and transfered to her wound while Akiyo tied it tightly to stop the bleeding.
"The kishin's coming this way.." Akiyo warned,taking Akahana's attention back. She looked at him,sighing. "Shotgun ?" She slightly smiled,Akiyo giving a small nod before turning to a shotgun. Akahana took it with her other hand,which was the right,then pointed it infront. Akiyo's face flashed from the gun's side,eyebrow raised. "You're planning to use one hand for a shotgun ? You're crazy,aren't you ?" He scolded. Akahana smirked. "Just shut up."
As expected,the kishin went out of the horde of trees. It had a human body,but it's face was covered with papers. And he's holding a lot of knives.
As soon as the said enemy appeared,Akahana started shooting,taking steps back because of the impact of the gun's firing. The kishin used knives to block,then took a sprint close.
Instead of taking another step back,Akahana stood still. "Hey ! What are you doing ?!" He scolded. Akahana smirked. "Watch."
The kishin was only meters far. When it almost reached her,she jumped upwards and landed behind him. The kishin stopped and turned,but before it can even attack,Akahana pointed the shotgun right between it's 'eyes' and pulled the trigger.
It's body slowly crippled and turned to a red soul. Akiyo turned back to his human form,taking the soul. "That's brutal.." He scratched his head,making Akahana laugh. "Sorry." She shrugged.
"So… Do you have a jar or something ?" Akiyo looked at her,holding the soul by it's tip. Akahana blinked. "Jar ?" She asked,Akiyo nodding. "Where should I put this then ? You said we're collecting them,right ?" He mumbled. Akahana laughed. "Silly,you're gonna eat it !" She exclaimed,making the color in Akiyo's face drain.
"E-e-e-eat ? T-this ?!"
Akiyo's jaw dropped,blinking. "You're not serious,are you ?!" He exclaimed. Akahana blinked. "Weapons should eat 99 kishin souls,the one you're holding,and 1 witch soul to be a deathscythe. Why do you act so strange ? Every weapon knows that." She said,confused. Akiyo's eyes shot wide. "98 more ?!" He exclaimed. Akahana nodded.
Akiyo glanced at the soul,having a grossed out expression. "These kind of stuff doesn't exist in the real world ! What if it tastes weird and make my stomach turn ?!" He raged inside,but kept his calm. After minutes of doubting,he just sighed,then raised the small soul. "Fine…" He squeezed his eyes shut,opened his mouth,then ate the said soul. Akahana watched,smiling.
Akiyo chewed it for a while,before swallowing it. He sighed,scratching his head. "I feel strange than earlier..." He thought,making a plain face. Akahana smiled,starting to walk. "Let's go."
Akiyo looked at her,then glanced at her wounded arm. He went over,sighing. "I'll go tend to this at home,okay ?" He slightly smiled,patting her head and walking forward,leaving Akahana confused.
"Did he just got concerned ?"
