12. Promise

"Nemi? You forgot your nichirin blade," [name] spoke out as she soon handed his nichirin blade to him. A soft smile appeared on his lips as he gently ruffled [name]'s head in response at her attempt in coming to find him.

"Since you're here, why not you wait for me to finish?" he asked, and [name] nodded her head then as she proceeded to walk towards the backyard of the Butterfly Estate and waited for him there. He then turned and noticed how the male Hashiras along with Kanae were staring at him.

"What the fuck are you all staring at?" he snapped.

"Shinazugawa," Kanae spoke out, and Sanemi scowled in response.

"Those scratches, and hickeys on [name]-sama's neck," and that's when Sanemi's pale purple eyes widened as he had forgotten about how [name] had scratched his back during their previous night activity.

He turned and noticed the deadly aura emitting from the male Hashiras who then cracked their knuckles in response.

"As much as that is a manly move, Shinazugawa. But she is Oyakata-sama's daughter still," Sabito commented with a wide smile on his face as his eyes were shut.

"Holy mother of god, someone fucking save me," Sanemi muttered to himself as the male Hashiras lunged forward, ready to beat up Sanemi for what happened, only to stop when [name]'s head popped into the room once more.

"Nemi?" she called out and Sanemi quickly walked over to where [name] was.

"Weren't you waiting for me outside?" he asked.

"Nemi, I want to go out to town,"

--

"Run, he's coming," and [name]'s eyes widened as she looked around her surroundings. Filled with nothing but darkness. She looked down to where her feet was, only to have her lavender eyes stare in horror as she noticed how beneath her was a bottomless pit.

And all that she could see, was the floating dead bodies of the Hashiras.

"They tried to protect you, but it was amusing to see them suffer for you," a voice spoke out and [name] felt a hand covering her eyes then. She could feel the razor sharp nails digging into her chest once more.

The sound of a metallic object being opened was heard.

"A pleasure to have a beauty for my supper,"

[name]'s lavender eyes shot opened as her heart pounded hard against her chest. She sat up in her futon as beads of pesperation trickled down the side of her face. She turned to look and noticed how the sun has yet to rise at all.

A thud was heard.

She froze as she continued to have her vision looking outside. It was as if there was someone in the estate other than her and Sanemi. She slowly reached over to the side and her eyes widened once more when she realized Sanemi wasn't beside her. She slowly turned and looked at the empty futon that was next to hers.

"Nemi?" she whispered out, and heard footsteps once more. Her breath hitched when the footsteps stopped. She then heard running footsteps this time, and her lavender eyes widened as it came to a stop once more.

It was as if she was in a horror show.

"Nemi...?" she whispered out once more and the running footsteps were heard once more. It became louder, faster, and [name] could hear her own heart pounding hard against her chest as she pulled the covers up and clutched it tightly.

It was getting closer to her, and [name]'s lavender eyes widened.

She watched as Sanemi was busy clapping his hands together, trying to catch a particular mosquito that had been buzzing around them when she was asleep. He was clearly annoyed base on the annoyed look he had on his face, and [name] could only sigh in relief then as she relaxed.
