Peppa Pig Enters the Scene

Art by Me

Tanjirou was hitting wall to wall. Claw attacks from the demon were cutting pretty close. You were doing fine, but you had a worried look in your eyes. Not to mention, your scent gave off a worried feeling as well. Before he would say something, he started to feel himself float. At least that's what it felt like. The redhead's feet would move slower when approaching the floor. When he was falling, things would be slower for him. It was like time decided to slow itself for him. The thing was that he felt light. Like, he lost about half his weight in a millisecond. He looked to you, and saw you were in deep concentration. Your scent of rosewater was more apparent than the demon's scent.

'What is she doing?' he thought. Tanjirou then started to avoid attacks a little better. The spinning room wasn't that much of a problem anymore. Was this your doing? That would be a weird assumption. Your concentration and him getting lighter was just a coincidence. The redhead then started to get back to his normal weight again. A claw attack was headed strait for him too. With quick thinking, he was able to dodge, but he started to fall fast. You seemed to notice this and grabbed a hold of his wrist. You sighed in relief.

"Thank you," Tanjirou said.

"No problem," you said. You let go once the redhead was able to get his footing.

'That was a close call. I barely survived that one,' Tanjirou thought. Your scent seemed to have gone back to its normal intensity. There was still the hint of guilt that concerned him. It only made him more determined to defeat the tsuzumi demon.

"Damn, this is so annoying," the demon cursed. "I gotta consume some marechi. There's no time to lose."

A pulse shot through the room and was aimed at you and Tanjirou. The redhead grabbed onto your hand as you dodged it. Claw marks were embedded into the floor a couple feet away. You landed on your shoulder while Tanjirou landed on his back. When you sat up, Tanjirou noticed you holding your shoulder. You grunted from the pain.

"Are you okay?" the redhead asked you. His eyes were ridden with concern for his friend. He placed his hand on your injured shoulder. It wasn't bleeding, but it was a hard fall.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," you said.

You looked up at the demon in front of you. He was starting to get even more annoyed with you two. Although, you couldn't tell from the room being upside down.

Another claw attack had approached you and Tanjirou. When you did, the redhead decided to speak to the demon. "Hey, what's your name?" he called.

The demon looked down, and back up again. It was almost if he was hesitant in replying to the boy. "Kyogai," he said.

"Kyogai," Tanjirou said. "We're not handing over Kiyoshi, the marechi, to you. I'm not gonna cave. I'm not giving up."

Your hand started to move on its own, lifting slightly towards Kyogai. You looked down at your hand, puzzled. Then you heard a voice in your own mind.

Just give up will you.

It was a voice that came from the demon, but it wasn't his own. It was someone else, a man. Maybe from Kyogai's life as a human. You took your hand away as the demon looked down. Why was this going on now, of all times?

"I'm going to get my hands on some marechi," he said. "And reclaim my place on the twelve kizuki." A mark with an x over it showed up in his eye. You covered your mouth with your free hand. He had a chance to kill you and bring you strait to Kibutsuji. Kyogai went rapid fire on his drumming. The rotating room was accompanied with claw marks on every wall. You used your free hand to reach for something to grab onto. That was until you heard that voice again.
