Stupid... stupid... stupid. Stupid. STUPID. STUPID. STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID!!!!! IDIOT!
My mind screams as I watched my failure of a partner dissolve right in front of my eyes. My nails digging harshly into the trunk of the tree I was hiding behind. The ivory on my nails begging to split like the tree bark, ripping through my nail bed, causing blood to start seeping from my fingers.
My jaw was clenched harshly in an uncomfortable way. Clenched so tightly I could feel all the little bones in my mouth begin to crack and chip, my jaw wanting to give away along with them.
That idiot!
I felt my consciousness yell as I observed the group from within the forest. I could see my target from here, that traitor of a demon. I could see her h/l h/c sprawled out on the ground as she lies there. Taking in the moonlight. Her friends chatting away happily as they take care of each other. It was disgusting...
All that idiot had to do was distract the hashira and kill the earring boy. He had one job! All that confidence and for what? A failure of our master!?
I can't get her from here... it would take too long if I tried to kill all the hunters and the sun would be coming up soon. Will master be disappointed in me too? I can't let that happen... I'll get her... and I'll make sure there isn't a scratch on her... well not many anyway. Just as master ordered.
I felt my non-beating heart sink as I felt an incoming source of a high amount of power coming from the distance. Making it's way closer and closer to the area of the hunter group... It was an upper rank... if one of them finds me here finding they'll report straight back to master! Without letting me explain! I-... I have to get out of here... there's an abanded imperial court palace about a couple of hundred miles from here. If I hurry I can make it before the sunrise...
See you soon...
"Y/n!" I lifted my head off the ground slightly to get a look to see who was calling me. I could see a shiny blonde head of hair running towards me while holding Tanjiro's box retaining Nezuko close to him. Gripping it tightly as he wobbled towards me. "Are you alright!?!?! You're not hurt are you?!" I giggled at his snotty nose and teary eyed face.
"Zenitsu! Yes, I'm fine," I smiled "Even if I was hurt I would be back to normal in no time."
"Th-that's not the point! A pretty girl should not be getting hurt regardless if she can heal or not!" I felt my jaw go slack as my eyes widened whilst he talked worriedly to me. Soon my shock drifted into a soft smile while I gazed up into his golden hues and he stared down at my own e/c ones. It stayed like that for a few moments. Just gazing at each other as the wind calmly blew around us. The shouts of Inosuke, the conversation of Kyojuro and Tanjiro, Kadzuki asking passengers if they are okay, all of it muted out. Leaving both of us in calm silence.
The wind suddenly picked up and became overwhelmingly strong followed by a loud boom. Dirt flew and rocks shot out in multiple directions. The calming atmosphere suddenly vanishing in the split of a second.
"H-huh?" I could hear Zenitsu mumbled still staring at me, shock on his face this time though.
I shot up from the ground and sat in a sitting position, I whipped around in my spot on the ground to look at what could have caused the noise.
Within the large cloud of dirt, a muscular figure emerged as the dirt cleared the air. As the dirt settled onto the ground, fully revealing the pale marked up figure. When I got a clear look at the form I felt my heart stop. Now that the dirt was gone I could clearly feel the intense aura radiating off this thing.
