Eye Patch Girl (KnY)

dad can we play football "NO SON ONLY BASEBALL"

-

Rubble and dust that got into their eyes rained down from the whole house onto them, dust fell into her hair as she avoided getting hit by falling chunks of the ceiling, Himo was flat on her stomach, she unsheathed her sword and kept her body on the ground as things flew above her so close that it clipped her hair.

"Bring me the head of the Slayer with hanafudda earrings and one with an eye patch and white hair, bring me the golden sword she and her father have both wielded as well."

"Why are they after me and Tanjiro? "
What's going on?!" She yelled over the smashing of walls and rubble to them, yelping as more wood came crashing down as light broke through. "Something has broken through the concealment spells!" Yushiro yelled back, Himo began cursing and she cursed like a sailor sometimes if things went bad, and it wasn't a good habit of hers, she knew that but swore relentlessly nevertheless. She looked out at the light streaming forth into the room through the newly broken wall where it was still nighttime, if any demon broke that, which was the obvious answer, they may need to wait until morning.

"So you're the Slayer with hanafudda earrings, and we also have the one with an eye patch and white hair!" The woman yelled in excitement, probably because she could kill them. How riveting, murder. She had these strange temari which when she bounced up and down in her hands, that jingled like a tiny bell was rattling around inside of them, it must've been the things that had broken down the walls of the house judging by the similar jingling sound from earlier.

There was a demon with strange eyes on his hands and a bead necklace, he seemed to be a germaphobe and kept complaining for something, wait, it was about the...dirt outside?...Okay then....He must really hate farms in general, wonder how he got here with all that complaining.

They could be seen from the demon's line of sight from the new gaping hole in the wall, another pair of the jingling temari cut through the walls, one swerved as Yushiro knocked it back and cleanly sliced off his head, successfully decapitating him and his headless body fell to the ground. It was like they were homing in on their targets so long as they were in sight.

"These demons are targeting us!" Yelled Tanjiro as he kept dodging, at least Yushiro wouldn't die because it wasn't the blade of a demon slayer's or wisteria, it wasn't day so they aren't going to disintegrate, so they might need to wait it out in order to kill them which wouldn't be too long, they'd spent almost the entire night up until this point simply running around the city in confusion that they'd passed most of the night that way.

She tried stabbing one of the temari to stop it moving but it hit her back even after being cut, not enough to kill her but still had just enough force to hit her, like it was a last ditch attempt at fulfilling its goal. "Lady Tamayo, Yushiro and you should go hide, they're after us so if you two leave you'll be safe! Be careful!" She yelled as she dodged more of the temari from hitting her as they swerved back to collide. Yushiro was starting to regenerate from down up, his hair regrew and veins snaked from his neck to his head, regenerating more and more until his form look vaguely like a face but now, He. Was. Pissed. Not pissed at her, no. Though Yushiro did yell, "Of course we're trying you incompetent slayer!" Back at her. Nice to know at least that temari hadn't given him brain damage.

"You're about to be killed by one of the Twelve Kizuki! Doesn't that make you feel special?!" Susamaru yelled at them as she threw more of the decorated and colourful temari at them. "Sorry but I think I cancelled my special death time, would never work for you?!" Himo yelled back, slicing a few more temari in half through the endless stream of the ongoing attacks. She unsheathed her other blade and dual wielded them together, slashing them quickly enough that Tamayo could hide out of sight and Yushiro could fully recover.

'Twelve Kizuki?' She wondered, remembering what Kako had explained about the demon rankings, she had doubts about the statement the Temari demon made, and looked at her eyes where she remembered all Kizuki had numbers marked. It would indicate someone being an Upper or Lower moon or if their position had been revoked it would at least have an X going through it. Though when she looked at Susamaru's eyes, there was no number or marking in her iris. Just a murderous orange eye reflecting back her image.

'So she's not part of the Kizuki....She's bluffing maybe, she clearly isn't, I can see her eyes from here and this Susamaru woman isn't one of them. I can tell.' Himo thought as she sliced one of the temari cleanly in half with her sword again and it bounced off of her, blunted, so it wouldn't kill anyone, luckily. 'Still stupid strong.' She cursed, though now that she had one answer she had twenty other questions, like why Susamaru would be lying about her status, had she taken acting classes because boy did she seem to believe it.

Himo dodged them for the most part and had to cut many of them in half to make sure none hit Tamayo or Yushiro, unfortunately, three still got past her to hit Tamayo and Yushiro. Which she shot them desperate apologetic looks for as they were hit directly. Speeding up more, she resolved to keep them safer, though this was tiring and especially because she was always trying not to break something with the unstable surface littered with rubble she was standing on.

As Yushiro stuck the paper to her forehead by using advanced dart skills that he probably had from being immortal now, she could see the arrows guiding the temari towards them and promptly got confused and tried cutting the arrows, narrowly missing and quickly had to cut the temari which was one hell of a ride for her ankle. The same arrow the demon with the hands on his eyes were using previously, like the avatar but budget and not a monk. So with such a new power it didn't take much for her to sprint outside to face the now six armed woman-where did she get them hands???-and use violence against her with her newfound ability.

All of them realized what she was going to do, she stuck out a foot to kick the temari back, sort of confident now that she could see where they were going and figured she was on the right place to play football. "Himo no!" Tanjiro yelled, thinking that she would rip her leg off because the temari's force would certainly lead to it being severed quite violently, but the Temari stopped, rolling violently against her foot as she kicked it back with more force than ever, "How are you kicking them back?!" Susamaru yelled at her.

"Eh?! Well wouldn't you like to know, temari lady?!" Sotte yelled furiously as she kicked it back again. It hit the wall next to Susamaru and cracked the red brick, but she couldn't keep doing this forever, if more of the temaris were thrown at her then she'd definitely get hurt. She'd gotten lucky the first time but there was no way she could pull that off again, confidence was half of the act but now she actually had to learn how to do it again.

Another ball flew after Tanjiro and Nezuko, so she ran and kicked it back, but she heard a loud, CRACK right afterwards, turns out there was this thing called breaking bones and it immediately hit like a truck, like the sound of string holding something heavy snapping and pain spiked up her leg and suddenly found she couldn't walk without extreme pain.

"I forgot to aim it where it wouldn't break my leg and in fact, I don't appreciate the sentiment." Himo cursed at the bone breaking, falling the the ground on her side, there was no way she'd be able to get up and move successfully. Though she tried, her leg did not agree and decided today was the day to head out.

"So you can't fight against me! I'll have your head brought to him!"
