❀ Flower Shop ☾ - Tomioka Giyuu

Chapter 14

           My jaw was left open. Half of my arm, lying on the wood floor. But for some reason, I did not feel pain. Silence went on for a few seconds, but eventually, the half on the floor started to disintegrate. 

I held onto what was left of my arm as all three of us watched the last piece of my hand disappear. I started to feel a boil in my blood. How could this happen? I am human. I am human. Right?

"..woah.. it.. it actually worked!!" Gnim started jumping up and down with joy. Nobody was sure why.

I let go of my arm that was still spewing trickles of blood. 

"Oh right!!! I guess nobody told you, I could tell by your face. I turned you into a demon! Isn't that great! I didn't want to fight you so I've been easy on you," he laughed, putting an arm around my shoulder.

"D-demon..?" I looked at him with confusion.

"Woww, those humans man. They're so cruel! They didn't even tell you? Oh I turned your husband into one too!"

I couldn't think. What was there to even think about? Why didn't they tell me? How come I didn't feel a change..? Questions filled my head but I knew one thing. I am a demon slayer and it was my duty to fight until my death. I grabbed my sword with the hand I had left.

"(Y/N), stop." Giyuu said.

I looked him in the eyes, despair filled. He was probably thinking, 'I have to kill her right..?'

I picked up the remains of my sleeve on the floor. Stuffing it into a pocket, I swung my sword towards Gnim. I finally felt like I had a purpose; a motive. My job was to kill Gnim before I die.

The energy took over my body. I was jumping off walls aiming at Gnim's neck. None of my attacks were working. Oh how handy would it be to own a Blood Demon Art..

Giyuu kept trying to stop me but eventually gave up. Instead, he joined me. 

                         'Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin'

I only got the top of his head. He regenerated in seconds anyway. I was getting annoyed and angry. What are his limits? 

A thought joined my head. I didn't want to think about it but it could be the only way I could defeat him. 

As we continued throwing out attacks, more and more of Gnim's scissors and daggers entered my arms and body. As if it was gonna do anything. I aimed for his arm, just his arm is enough. I hope.

Giyuu saw through me. He gave me a 'seriously?!' face. I smiled at him, it was the only way. Giyuu was able to cut off Gnim's arm, he regenerated it obviously. I caught it in my mouth and took a bite. It was horrible, the taste of blood and skin was morbid. I thought demons enjoyed this? Am I full demon or not..?

My heart began to beat faster and faster. My eyes turned red and my teeth became sharp. The adrenaline was instantly kicked in. Dropping my sword I ran towards him. I did not expect to become this powerful with just one bite. How strong was Gnim really?

Gnim's face became distorted, the disgust in his eyes, of his own kind. But I could see the kind soul hidden inside. He was not happy, his heart was broken and his soul was crushed. I almost had a bit of hesitation. 

I reached for his head, bringing it into my chest. I looked at Giyuu, gesturing him to slice Gnim off.

Giyuu dashed towards Gnim while he was struggling in my arms.

                             'Fifth Form: Blessed Rain After the Drought'

My eyes widened. Did he know that I had sympathy for Gnim..?

His head slowly hit the ground, his body still in my arms. His face looked scared, almost a fear of death. Tears filled his eyes but he smiled at me. At first I was still in shock, but I gave him a reassuring smile. I grew attached to his feelings, his heart was too soft. He had a mentality of a kid, I really liked that about him. 

The last bit of his body disintegrated while I fell to the ground, loosing conciseness, Giyuu catching me in his arms.
