Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Modern Era

Chapter 18: Ambush

'It's an ambush!!! Please leave the facility immediately!'

The speakers around the four walls of this building blared, Sanemi covered both of his ears as he was struggling to make his way to Shiniobu's room since he stuck in a crowd.

'Damn it. 'Sanemi rasped as he tried to control his temper and patience.

'Ahhh run to another exit! There's a creature there!' warned the security guard. He ran into the crowd, panting and sweating. Sanemi could tell he was in fear and he managed to escape from that demon.

Everyone turned to the opposite side of the hallway and started running to the direction along with the frightened guard.

'Wait, this direction should be Shinobu's hospital room.' thought Sanemi as he ran to the direction which the guard pointed out the demon's location.

People accidentally pushing him, making him fall back, not able to go further.

'I have to hurry up.' Sanemi gritted his teeth as he thought to himself.

He starting to push some people away, squeezing his way to Shinobu's room.

A stainless steel movable bed which was beside Sanemi hit his injured arm by accident, making his wounds open.

'I am sorry !' the nurse apologizes as she continued pushing the movable bed in which a patient was unconscious on it.

Sanemi didn't really bother and he continued to move forward in the panicked crowd.

'Shinobu chan!' A scream was heard by Sanemi nearby.

He followed the voice and got into the room. Slamming the four with his hands. He huffed as he gasped for air.

A demon stood right in front of him, facing his back to him.

'Hey! Let the sisters go!'

The demon turned to him as Sanemi yelled in rage.

'Oh God, I left my katana in the room.'sighed Sanemi as he realized that he has forgotten to bring his weapon.

'Oh Sanemi San, you're here.' The demon grinned widely as he looked at Sanemi who was clenching his fist.

'Douma!!!!'

Sanemi shouted as he charged towards him with his fist ready to punch him in the face.

The strong force flung toward Douma's hand which blocked it easily.

A crunch was heard as Douma squeezed Sanemi's fist.

Sanemi's arm stated trembled and his energy is getting weaker.

'Try to punch me?' Douma smiled, exposing his teeth.

He then punch Sanemi in the gut making him to cough up blood.

'Sir!' The girl beside her unconscious sister cried out.

'Don't worry, I will stop this guy...' said Sanemi as he stood back up, wiping off the blood from his mouth.

'My...my You should give up, I really want to eat those young girls.'

Douma licked his lips and his evil smile went wide across his pale face.

'You pervert!' Sanemi blurted as his leg shoved into Douma's waist, giving him the force to fall down.

'Run! Girl!' Sanemi ordered as he looks at the girl.

'I can't, she is my sister!' cried the girl.

'I- ' Sanemi paused, gazing into her sorrowful eyes.

'Have I met her before?' He thought as he felt affection floating around him.

A punch smashed into Sanemi's face causing him to cough up more blood.

Sanemi spit the blood out and pushed Douma into the corner.

'You better go now!' he yelled, giving the way for the girl and her sister to escape.

'Let go of me you mortal!'

Douma who was taller than him slammed his head continuously by using his elbow.

Sanemi didn't let go and kept clinging on Douma.

'I am tired...' he thought as his vision started to get red to blur.

He then shut his eyes. He could hear ringing sounds buzzing into his eardrums,

'How annoying.' He grunted softly as his energy decreased in split second.

' Blood Demon Art, Wintry Icicles.'

This was the last word that Sanemi heard before he completely went unconscious.

He felt warm liquid covered his cold body as he fell onto the floor. His body could barely move .He tried to reform a fist but he ended laying on the ground lifelessly.

************************************

Outside of the hospital

'Sir!, sir!'

Genya who was on his walkie talkie, trying to call his brother to know whether his brother is safe.

'Something is wrong...' He grunted as he hanged back his walkie talkie on his vest.

'What happened to Sanemi San?' Sabito, whose head has bandages around him, asked.

'I don't know ' said Genya.

'Don't tell me, he is dea-'

Tsutako covered Zaichi who was talking.

'Don't say such words.' She snapped.

Zaichi nodded, as he pushed her hands gently.

'What should we do?'

Makomo asked Genya while  holding Mrs Kamado who was trying to contact her sons.

'I will go in!' said Genya as his pistol cocked in his hand.

'Be safe .' said Tsutako who was holding her brother in her arms, not letting him follow.

Genya nodded and rushed into the entrance of the building.

'Don't go there!' A doctor yelled, stopping Genya from entering.

'That gun can't kill those things!' He said.
'A security said to try to kill it with a pistol, but -'

The doctor froze after that, he can't describe it because he was too frightened.

Genya ignored his warning and stepped into the building, finding his brother.

The police officer walked past the hallways of the hospital. It was really quiet, even he could hear his own footsteps echoing in the facility. The lights flickered a little as he walked past them.

'Where are you, brother...' he murmured while looking at the empty hospital rooms.

His gun aimed at the empty hallway, he was prepared to shoot down the thing which the doctor mentioned.

A loud bang made Genya panicked a little.
He stopped and looked around with his gun aiming at every single angle he looked at.

He continued wandering around the hallway.
