A/N: Read the Author's Note at the end.
*3rd POV*
It had been a long time since Inosuke had felt so weird.
He was used to feeling weird but never this much.
He didn't enjoy feeling weird. He forgot names when he felt weird.
His brother called it feeling anxious but no matter how hard Inosuke tried he couldn't fully understand what that meant.
But he was a good younger brother so he just nodded when his brother asked him if he understood, he didn't want it to seem like he had completely wasted his brother's time.
Still he never felt this weird as he did when he was running in these mountains.
Everything was so still, so silent that he couldn't sense much at all except some birds and the Shirt people running behind him.
He didn't bother being polite to them, he was the youngest of them but he was in front.
If they wanted they could catch up on their own for all he cared and he would never ever bother stopping just so they could reach the same place as him that just sounded stupid.
He was already feeling weird and he wanted to be done with this as soon as he could.
'Maybe they'll make me bigger after this mission? I'll get more money and I'll be able to help more without giving acorns every time.' He thought and couldn't help the snort that came out from behind his boar mask.
It startled the shirt guys running behind him, they were almost as afraid of everything as Billboard brow but at least he would fight Inosuke strongly about somethings like how he thought Inosuke was weird.
Inosuke could appreciate that, it was the damn softness he saw sometimes that bothered him, his brother never saw him with softness, his brother trusted him and he never asked for much.
Inosuke felt his skin prickle and immediately came to a stop.
"Why did you stop?" One of the shirt guys asked but he didn't bother answering or punching him for asking something so stupid.
Inosuke put his swords into the soft dirt and got on one knee while spreading his hands outwards.
"Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness" he thought and his breath slowed, he could feel much much more at the moment.
He could see even more, from the birds on the trees to the small squirrels staring at him.
But that wasn't what he was trying to see. It didn't take long thankfully or he might've become angry.
He could see the demon as clearly as the demon could smell him.
Just a bit further away from where Inosuke currently was.
So he picked up his swords, turned his heel and then ran straight towards where he had seen the demon.
If it fought then Inosuke would like a good fight before he killed the strong demon If it tried running away then Inosuke would kill it for being so weak and fearful. It wouldn't even be worth fighting then.
In but a few short moments he could see the demon.
It was uglier than anything else with a weird face of dozen....was dozen the correct word? Yes a dozen eyes and some more all spread around the face.
Instead of a mouth it had two claws attached to its teeth that it clicked while it's hair was long and white, why didn't the demon choke on biting on his own hair?
Inosuke didn't bother asking as he rushed straight at the demon who surprisingly had a big log from a tree that it swung at him.
Inosuke only jumped over the log and ran up straight to the demon that way.
It was surprised but it threw away the log to reach at Inosuke with its arms.
"Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting" Inosuke just cut everything around him to pieces in one shallow breath.
The demon's fingers flew off and even the log turned to sticks as it was falling down.
Then with a quick step Inosuke brought one of his blades onto the demon's neck.
*CLANG*
It sounded like metal but the demon only bled a little bit as its head swung to the side with the force behind the attack.
*CLANG*
Inosuke brought down his blade on the other side of the demon's neck, this time creating a deeper cut but not deep enough.
No problem. He just used the swords as balance and brought one of his feet down hard on the demon's face, kicking out three eyes and breaking one of the demon's mouth claws easily before taking out his swords and jumping backwards.
The demon howled or did it scream? He didn't know the correct word but maybe that was it as it touched it's face with the newly regrown hands.
That was bothersome cutting off their hands again but Inosuke would do it anyway.
The demon tried to run but Inosuke turned it's back into deep bleeding cloth pieces.
The demon suddenly roared, yes that was the correct word here, it roared to the sky for some dumb bastard reason before it grew taller and taller.
Oh that was a good reason to roar.
Its arms became thicker and it got 4 claws on the face instead of 2. Even more to break.
The demon cackled weirdly as it pulled back its fist and tried to punch Inosuke. Insouke wasn't dumb so he went straight towards the direction of the punch, right in its path.
And before the punch could hit Inosuke, he used the wind around the demon's arms to barely move its fist to the side and came out unscathed while the demon became confused.
"Sixth Fang: Palisade Bite"
He took in a deep breath and released two blade swings in front of him followed by another two and that completely destroyed the demons left side, it's chest was a gaping bloody hole and Inosuke knew the demon wouldn't be able to get out of that one so easily so he quickly turned from the confused demon and cut off it's right arm and leg too so it fell down on the earth.
Inosuke knew anything else would be stupid and he wasn't about to be stupid, the demon was weaker than expected even as it tried to trash around lying on the earth.
"Uh I hope you die quick." Inosuke said awkwardly as he got ready to cut off the demon's head.
*Glurg*
But the demon sprouted another arm and tried to grab him. Inosuke barely got out of the demon's reach but hurt his foot in the process.
"Bastard!" Inosuke said angrily not caring anymore and with a few slashes turned everything about the demon into mush.
Without another word Inosuke cut off the demon's head.
'That was bad, I shouldn't tell Nii San about that one.' Inosuke thought sheepishly as he sat down and with a pop fixed his leg.
"Oh yeah, where are the other guys? Why are they being lazy? Why do I have to do all the work?" Inosuke remembered but they were not here so he started walking back.
'Stupid idiots probably got lost, I should have just asked to go alone.' Inosuke thought sadly or was it annoyingly? Fuck he didn't want to think about it at the moment.
"Where-" he started to say looking at the back of one of the Shirt guys before stopping to look at his face.
It wasn't there, it was just the legs and the guys back standing while bleeding.
Insouke looked to the front and the other two were nowhere to be found except in two bloodstains and cloth pieces.
Before he could make sense of it he felt flames and his skin prickled even more than it ever had.
Author's Notes: Ok, so I always feel like my Author's Notes tether the line between sounding utterly sad and extremely ludicrous, but I always feel it's better to be honest with you guys [Whoever reads these things] than to try and be radio silent on my amazingly long breaks between uploads.
So, I'm gonna tell you guys something about myself, don't worry this is a one off thing no one including me has to be subjected to this twice. I have Insomnia, and it's heightened a lot by my anxiety issues, the latter is something I acquired due to some unfortunate events in my childhood and some things that happened last year, it gets so bad that for now even on good days I can sleep at best 2 hours at once, I can physically not sleep more than that unless I'm extremely tired and pass out.
Since regularly dehydrating myself so I pass out and can get some hours of sleep didn't go so well the few times I unknowingly tried, I have currently no solution to my Insomnia and the sporadic but frequent sleep paralysis and nightmares that I suffer from.
This is barely an excuse for me to be as lazy as I am, It's not like not sleeping means I have less time, it just means I have more time, but I'm extremely tired almost all the time. I can sleep more, I just need to divide my sleep into 2 or 3 little 2 hour shifts instead of the usual straight 7 or 8 hours that most people do, and I try to get writing done whenever I can in this time, but I also have some other personal issues that I'm going through right now and my academic life is heightening up; I barely have time to breathe till July of next year.
That's an explanation for why my uploads take so much time, it's not an excuse and it never will be. I'll always try to upload as much as I can, which won't be much but it'll be the best I can do.
I like writing this story, it's the first thing I ever wrote, and though the beginning is frankly, garbage, I've always tried to improve as I go further along, and I hope to continue to do so.
Tldr: I have some issues, I will continue trying to upload more.
Thank you very much for reading this.
Hope everyone has a nice Day/Night, and take care of yourselves.
