Zenitsu pov
why is he trying so hard to get one demon? whoever this guy is then he's going too far!

"stop being so stubborn!" he shouts.

"NO YOU ST-"

he charges towards me and grabs my kimono by the collar and swings me round. i roll across the floor picking up dirt as i flew. i look across to see he has hold of the box.

"YOU SEE HERE YELLOW BOY, WATCH CLOSE," he says as he tips the box longways and puts his foot on it. he then extends his blade and thrusts it inside the box. a muffled scream could be heard from inside.

"NO! LEAVE IT ALONE!" i say trying to get on my feet.

the boar thing removes the blade and deep dark blood can be seen dripping from his sword.

"you've left me no choice," i say finally standing on two feet,"

i place both my hands on my sword.

"oh ho ho, you wanna fight!?"

"this is the only way,"

i draw my sword and guide it towards him.

"1...3...6...GO!" and as that last word left his mouth, he sprang towards me like a wild cat and swung his nichrin toward me. i ducked and rolled just barely in time.

"w-wait WAIIIIT! I WAS JOKING!" i say tears forming in my eyes.

he swings across and i put my blade up to stop him. i don't think this is ending anytime soon.

"HEY B-BOY! HIDE THE BOX FOR ME OK!?" i shout.

"NO GIVE ME THE BOX!" the boar man says.

the boy runs and drags the box with him.

*time passes*

how much more can i put up with this? i'm going to die i know for sure this time.....
....tanjiro please....save me.....quickly....

"ZENITSUUUUUUU!!!"

w-what was that tanjiro!? no.... i'm hearing things, just keep fighting zenitsu cmon you can do it.

"ZENITSU WHERE ARE YOU!?"

eh!? it's getting louder?

"KEEP FIGHTING I BELIEVE IN YOU!"

you what? you....believe? in me?

"YEAH! YOU CAN DO IT!"

w- everything is g-going dark? tanjiro?

Tanjiro pov

i can see him! i can see zenitsu! i need him to stay strong for me. for them children. for himself!

"that's it zenitsu! you got i-"

i watch as i see his body drop to the floor. my face goes cold. i stare at his body for some time before looking up to a man in a boar mask.

"what did you do...... WHAT DID YO-," a sharp pain ran all throughout my bones making me curl up in discomfort.

ugh i've outdone myself with that last demon.
i need to do something. a bluff at the least.

i stand up straight and shout to the top of my lungs.

"HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FRIEND!? IM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"hehehehe now this is what i'm talking about,"

wait w-what. that shit turns him on. what a weirdo.

within a second he dashes forwards with his blade to his side, far too fast for my comprehension. i don't think i can dodge this.

all of a sudden then, i see a bright yellow bolt appear in front of me. zenitsu s bright yellow sword was pressed against the boar mans blade they both pushed for dominance over the other but in the end they both jumped back in preparation for the next strike.

"zenitsu don't push yourself! i'm glad your awake but please just have some rest!" i say but there's something different about this zenitsu. there's a whole new glow in his eyes and his whole posture is different now.

he doesn't reply to my suggestion and continues to fight the other boy.

"i see your back for round two huh?" the boar guy says "you've gotten a lot more stronger from that little nap you had!"

i'm afraid to admit it but he was telling the truth what had gotten into him.

zenitsu kicks the other into a tree, causing him to knock him out from the impact of
"skull to wood"

zenitsu stops for a second then moves his right leg forwards, his left leg back and his head down into a lunge position then he places his arms back onto his blade to his side.

waaaaait.... i've seen this positioning before. that his lightning form! if he does that then he'll kill the boy.

"zenitsu don't do that! you'll kill him!" i notice his hands start to shake.

"z-zenitsu?" he breathes out like a tea pot as steam escapes his mouth. "h-hey listen to me!"
i know he can hear me. is he ignoring me!?

i grab onto his kimono. "stop! this isn't you! other zenitsu would been too scared to even draw your sword!" i see his body rise then drop as he takes a breathe. well he's left me no choice but to use force.

i stand in front of him and grab his face.
i wish i could be in this position for different reasons. wait what-

without another thought i smash my head against his causing him to fall to the ground unconscious. i fall to my knees and cradle him like a child.

i'm sorry i had to......

cmon tanjiro your acting like you've killed him.

i pick him up and stand up straight feeling a sharp pain in my back. ouch! i take off my kimono and fold it to place under his head. he sleeps so calmly. i move my ear close to his mouth to hear if he's breathing. his breath is so soft on my face. he's so peaceful. i could watch him sleep all day. wa-wait not in that way that's creepy. his eyes closed peacefully, not forced at all. his long lashes compliment his red cheeks from cry all the time. down to his small nose which is also tinted pink. and his lips....
his lips.....
bright pink.....
smooth.....
soft.......
kissable......
WAIT NO I DIDNT SAY THAT-
or did i.....
should i-
nonono that's silly.....
i feel my face lowering towards his face- his lips

no i can't do this....

my head goes toward his forehead and places a gentle kiss.

"z-zenitsu i-i love you," i whisper as i stand up.

my eyes start watering as i walk away.
