"What is your problem!?" She screeches as she hits the floor for the second time. She shields her eyes as she looks up, jumping as she sees the boar man hovering over her. He was ripped- she couldn't deny that much. Heat rises to her face as she huffs, and glares at the boar man.

"Seriously, what do you want? I'm busy and you're wasting my time" She hisses, dusting herself off as she gets up. He chuckles once again and he places a fist to his chest.

"Fight me!" He screams, and she rolls her eyes. Of course someone so stupid would want something so well...stupid. She piles her bag back onto her back and she begins to walk away. It was still scorching hot out, and she could feel the heat burning her exposed skin. Luckily, her h/c strands protected most of her neck from any damage the UV rays could have caused. She hears the man scoff behind her, and he jogs so they're walking next to each other. 

"Did you hear what I said?!" He exclaims, and she grits her teeth. If this guy didn't shut up, she was going to knock him on his ass.

"Yes, I did. But I don't have time for you. Run along know" She teases- waving her hands for extra effect. The guy screams, causing her to try stifle a laugh. This guy had some serious issues. He remains silent for a minute before pointing a tanned finger to her hip.

"Why have you got such a lame ass sword?" He asks rudely causing (Y/N) to gasp. She narrows her eyes and stops in her path, causing him to follow suit. She places her hands on her hips as she begins to lecture him.

"Firstly, it's not a 'lame ass sword'- My teacher gave it to me. Secondly, I'm on my way to Final Selection to complete my training. Is that enough info for you, pig ass?" She scolds, putting quotations around the 'lame ass sword' part. He waves his hands mockingly as he begins walking beside her once more.

"Whatever, my swords are cooler" He boasts, signaling to the two swords attached to his hide trousers. She peaks down at them with prying eyes, and then looks back up at his mask. The swords were chipped beyond belief, and she wouldn't be surprised if he had broken them himself. Instead of angering him further she decides to nod along, only fueling his ego. Tension fills the air as they continue walking, and her shoulders begin to ache.

"I'm sorry, why are you still following me?" She asks, an attitude present in her voice. The boar man flicks her on the head, and she winces. 

"WHAT IS YOUR ISSUE!?" She cries as she clutches her forehead. This guy was so aggressive, for no reason. She hears another chuckle from him which only angers her more. She places a punch on his arm, causing him to scream. Anyone who walked past them would probably fear for their safety, and (Y/N) wouldn't blame them. 

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH LORD INOSUKE LIKE THAT!" He screams once more, and she's tempted to cover her ears.

"Who is Lord Inosuke? And you still haven't answered my question pig boy" She spits. He shakes his head as if the answer is obvious, which causes her to roll her e/c eyes again. Crickets begin to chirp as the duo continue walking, and (Y/N) can feel her stomach begin to grumble.

"I'm going to the selection thing as well, and I already know I'm gonna beat you" He grins from under his mask, and she scoffs at his cockiness. She slows down slightly and looks up at the sky. The sun had began to set, that would explain the slight breeze that filled the air. If she was to stop and rest for the night she should make it to Final Selection by lunch time tomorrow. She scans the area for a minute and she finally hums. Luckily there was a town very close by, and she had the money to spare. 

Breaking away from the path to get to the town, the boy tilts his head in confusion.

"Where are you going, peasant?" He asks, and she sends him a smack on the arm. She points towards the town and shakes her head.

"I'm exhausted, so I'm going to stay in a motel for the night. Is that all right with you?" She answers sarcastically and he ponders for a moment. 

"I guess" He grunts and she shakes her head at his stupidity. For some reason he was still trailing behind her like a lost sheep, which was funny seeing as he was a few inches taller than you.

The two make it finally onto the path connecting to the village, and (Y/N) looks around for a motel sign.

"So, Lord Inosuke, why are you still following me?" She mutters as she continues scanning for the sign she needed. He grumbles under the mask.

"What does it look like, dumbass? I'm following you" He replies as if she should have known the answer all along. She snaps her head towards him, a scowl on her plump lips.

"My name isn't dumbass...or peasant. It's (Y/N) (L/N), so remember that if i'm going to be paying for a roof over your head tonight" She hisses, and he chuckles. 

"You act so tough for someone so small, (mispronunciation of your name)" He teases and she doesn't even have the energy to correct him. Her head perks up as she spots a motel and she rushes towards it, Inosuke still on her tail. Fumbling with her coin purse she steps into the cozy building, and she stumbles towards the bamboo front desk.

"Good evening" She says politely, the person at the desk sending her a smile back. (Y/N) looks into the contents of her small, velvet purse and she clears her throat. 

"Could I please just have a room for one night? Two beds if possible, please" She asks, and the person at the desk nods. 

"Certainly. That will be 3 thousand yen please" They answer, and she gulps slightly. 3 thousand yen was a lot to her, put she quickly hands it over to them without any hesitation. The person quickly gets up and shows the pair towards their room. They reach it in no time, and they don't waste a second opening up the door.

"Finally, a bed" (Y/N) grins to herself with her arms outstretched. Inosuke just watches, confused as to what the hell she's doing. She places her bag down beside her on the futon, almost forgetting the boy was there. She looks up at him, almost dumbfounded.

"Yeah you're welcome, Lord Inosuke" She says sarcastically, causing him to wave his arms in response again. He flops down onto the futon and she upturns her nose at him. As she starts unpacking some of her items from her bag, she hears rustling behind her. Turning her head slightly, her eyes widen. Inosuke now had his boar head removed, and he placed it down gently next to him. Even from this distance she could see his long eyelashes fanned out against his flushed cheeks. His hair was Oynx, and it turned a rich blue towards the end of the strands. He was...hot, as some people her age may say.

"Holy shit" She mumbles to herself, and he snaps his emerald green eyes towards her.

"What are you staring at, dumbass?" He pouts, and she begins spluttering. She looks around the room for something to talk about- but her mind goes blank. She quickly unties her h/c hair and dives underneath the cotton covers she was provided.

"U-uh nothing. Goodnight" She exclaims, and she hides under her pillow.
