Her - shinomitsu fic

Her poison

She is determined. She works hard and never gives up on her goal.

I remember the horrible feeling in my gut. The atmosphere was tense. Like something big was about to happen. And then he'd died. The entire mansion sending huge waves of dust into the sky. The demons presence masking everything good in the world.

It was him.

I remember running to help. 

They were both there. 

Shinobu.

But also Obanai.

I remember charging into the female demons' blood demon art without thinking, just knowing that I had to avenge my friends deaths.

I remember falling through the shifting buildings. 

A demon, a young man.

We left soon after, trying to find Muzan.

I remember the hollow feeling I had when her crow rasped it out,

"KAAAW! DECEASED!! SHINOBU KOCHO IS DEAD! SHE FOUGHT WITH AN UPPER-RANK KIZUKI AND DIED!!" 

I could faintly hear Obanai, yelling for me, telling me that he wasn't yet dead, that it wasn't over.

I tell myself to move.

My body feels numb.

I can't get up.

I can't move.

Obanai gives me a worried look.

Not everyone is gone. I can still fight to save my comrades.

I get up.

Obanai looks both relieved and more worried.

I can feel tears in my eyes.

I can hear the sounds of struggling. 

I run towards them, and now, only Obanai is beside me.

I tell him that I'm glad he's there to back me up.

But all I can think about it how no one was there to back up Shinobu.

Her poison was deadly but not enough.
