DS : Chapter 144
🕑 Added 2025-02-12 17:25:56 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
(A week after the battle)
Sanemi Shinazugawa was pissed.
An understatement that couldn't be helped since there were no heavier words. He was beyond pissed.
Imagine being the most violent Demon Slayer in the world, he was so efficient that he was a Hashira with the most kill count among the ranks.
He would use his special blood to make a trail that led to his location. Every demon in the vicinity who smelled his blood wanted to devour him and when they came at him. Taking that as an advantage, he would turn those who came for his blood into mince meat.
He would slaughter these demons solely because he loved doing it too, not because of anything else. The money, the duty, saving innocents and all that shit came after.
He was obsessed with killing demons.
So imagine how angry he was when he learned that he missed the most important battle in Demon Slayer history yet. A chance to fight against the Demon King himself.
He would give anything to be in that fight. To rename what was now called the 'Failed Purge'.
Had he been there, the Demon King would've never gotten away. He was in no delusion that he was stronger than Gyomei or Seiji but he had something none of them did and that was willingness.
Sanemi would sacrifice his life, his soul and many more just to kill the Demon King. The others were not as willing as he was. They didn't know it but they were soft. Seiji and Tengen had lovers and to a certain extent, that made them fear death. Their life was no longer solely theirs but also the people they loved.
Gyomei and Rengoku were too fucking nice. They cared more about saving lives instead of killing demons. When it came down to two choices, they would always choose to save a life than take one.
Obanai...that kid was way too weak.
Sometimes, people like him are needed to end a war once and for all. Someone who would not hesitate to do what was necessary to finish off the enemy. Even if it meant people would hate him or question his mentality.
At least that's what he thought as he moved around the thick jungle. It was cold and dry as hell but fortunately, the region had no snow.
Sanemi was not focused on his surroundings since it was daytime. He even allowed his mind to daydream as he made his way towards his destination - a small village nearby. A village which he saved from demons just last night.
There was no injury sustained from battle but his forearm was bleeding. It was a cut he made himself to lure in demons last night. His mission was to kill the demons plaguing the village but Sanemi went beyond that and hunted down any surviving demons just last night.
While he was walking, he did not notice the creature that was stalking him.
..
..
"Hmmm?"
Even when he was not paying attention or even if he suppressed it, instincts honed for years never failed.
Sanemi stopped on his track and because of that, the attack that was predicting his movement flew down right before him, barely missing his nose.
"Huh," his eyes twitched, not amused when he saw the club that missed his head and smashed the ground. The wooden club was in the hands of a humanoid creature with a boar's head.
The boarhead immediately spun into action and Sanemi took two steps back, dodging two swings that aimed at his head and stomach respectively.
There was no danger for him but the fact that the club was swung with the intent to kill rubbed him in the wrong way.
"What do you think you are doing?"
The boarhead did not answer and crouched down with a swing of his club. The attack aimed for his legs but Sanemi stepped back once more, moving out of reach.
But the boarhead decided to let go of his club mid-swing, sending the wood flying and smashing into Sanemi's shin.
"FUCK!!!" Sanemi howled in pain. A clean hit to the shin by a hard object was one of the most painful experiences one could get. It felt worse than being stabbed in your soft tissue.
Sanemi's leg jerked up and he held his shin in his hands. He hopped around in one leg in agony.
"Die FOOD!!" The boarhead took the chance to jump at Sanemi. He clung to his neck and shoulder like a monkey before he jabbed his two fingers into Sanemi's nose.
"AHHHH!!!" Sanemi screamed comically before his mouth was covered by the same palm attached to the two fingers.
The boarhead actually tried suffocating him. It was one of the ways for predators to kill prey. Lions would often cover their prey's nose with their mouth to suffocate them. The little boarhead was imitating that.
Sanemi was now pissed enough to not hold back on the boarhead whose body was obviously that of a child. He couldn't care less if he was abusing a child at that moment.
He grabbed the kid by the leg and ripped him off his face. Then he flung the kid around like a ragdoll with a face fuming with anger.
*BOOM!!*
Snamei smashed the kid on the ground. The boar head that the kid was wearing fell off to reveal the fragile face of a girl. He was taken aback to see that face.
Sanemi was pissed enough to fight a child but he was still not passed enough to fight a child AND a girl.
"What the fuck?" his gaze bounced on the child's tender face and rough body.
It didn't match at all! The face had no scars, likely protected by the boar head he was wearing. While the body was small and full of scars that showed a hard life.
Snamei could not even distinguish the kid's age. He was only the size of an eight-year-old but appeared much older.
The eyes of the kid snapped open after being knocked unconscious for a few seconds. Then he proceeded to lunge at Sanemi like a beast again.
The scuffle went on for a bit. The child had the spirit of a wild animal as he lunged at Sanemi with four legs. He seemed to have no regard for himself, driven mad by hunger.
"STOP IT YOU DIRTY BRAT!!" Sanemi screamed at the child who wrapped his four limbs around his leg. He pulled at the kid's hair, stopping the mouth from clamping down on his flesh.
"FOOD!! JUST LET ME EAT YOU!!!" The kid screamed in return. He was in the middle of trying to taste Sanemi's leg.
And much to Sanemi's surprise and horror, the kid used a breathing style to fight against him. His face changed and his eyes turned into lines due to being pulled by the hair but the kid moved forward and bit down on Sanemi's thighs.
"AHHHHHH!!!!"
Now Sanemi was pissed enough to fight a child and a girl. He grabbed the kid by the neck and tore him off his leg. The kid tore off his clothes due to how hard he was biting.
With his pants being torn, the rice balls he had in his pocket also fell out and Sanemi picked that up instantly.
If he considered the kid as a wild animal, it was clear that it was hungry due to the limited resources of food in winter. He could also attribute the fact that it saw him as food due to his blood which was attractive to all predators, demons and animals alike.
"You're hungry? EAT THIS!!" Sanemi shoved the rice ball into the mouth of the kid and immediately, he stopped struggling and started eating the food.
...
(Scene Change)
Sanemi stood in absolute disbelief as the little critter devoured every rice ball he had on him. The child shamelessly finished all the food and after that, he stood up and had the audacity to say.
"I demand more of those white balls!!"
Sanemi's eyes twitched, "I ain't giving you shit until you answer my question!!"
"Then ask me these questions, quickly."
Sanemi popped a vein since he had been asking questions ever since the start. It seemed the boy had not heard anything he said while eating.
'Patience.' Sanemi told himself. Patience was never his strong point and it was why he hated dealing with kids.
"What's your name?"
"Inosuke is Inosuke!!" the boy answered with the widest grin. His teeth were somehow white and almost glittering like Tengen's.
"Where are your parents kid?"
"What's parents?"
"huh?" Sanmei narrowed his eyes and asked again, not used to dealing with someone stupider than him, "Mother, where is your mother?"
Innosuke pointed at the boar head beside his leg and said, "She died a long time ago,"
Sanemi had so many questions about that but he questioned whether he had the patience to tackle the issue or not.
"How did you learn breathing style? Who taught you?"
"What's that? Can you eat it?"
In the end, he didn't have much patience.
"Just follow me, kid, I'll take you to someone with patience," Sanemi said and walked away from the place.
"Wait!! You said you would give me more of those white things!!" Inosuke yelled.
"There will be plenty where we are going," Sanemi replied and that was enough to convince Inosuke to follow him.
..
..
"What do you think you're doing?!" Sanemi yelled, a few minutes into the journey. He tried in vain to get Inosuke off his shoulder.
"Big beast carry Inosuke!"
"Do you think I'm a horse? I am not carrying you!!" Sanemi grabbed Inosuke by the neck and held him in front of his face.
"But mother carry Inosuke," he said with huffs.
"I am not your mother either!!" Sanemi threw the boy into the distance to which, Inosuke just howled in excitement.
"I'm flying!!"
The joyous yell quickly died though and a crashing sound erupted. This was followed by birds flying away in fright.
They were chaos every step of the way and it was said that their sound frightened away many animals of their natural habitat.
