With that said, the three of us, Tanjiro, me, and Nezuko respectfully in her box, found ourselves stuck in a tree as an enraged Haganezuka slashed his knives at us, making me scream every time he managed to pull himself up just by a little by digging his knife into the trunk. "PLEHEHEAAAASSE! I'LL BUY YOU FOOD!" I offered, praying to god we would be able to get back to the Butterfly Estate soon. Surprisingly, Haganezuka paused in his rampage and looked up at me. "...Mitarashi dango, I want 5 bags full of it." "Deal," I wept, knowing my wallet would be drained.
After a tearful departure with most of my yen, Haganezuka begrudgingly handed us our new swords, scolding us for losing our swords as he carried 5 bags of fresh mitarashi dango. We gratefully bowed and nervously promised to try to do better before we departed ways, heading back to the Butterfly Estate. Once we reached the gates, there stood a worried Zenitsu along with a steaming, happily beaming Shinobu. 'FUCK,' I mentally screamed, anxiety growing with each step we took. Glancing over, Tanjiro had the same anxious expression, knowing that we would get our asses beat. Zenitsu spotted us and sprinted, running up to me worriedly. "Lana-chan! Are you alright!? Are you hurt!?" He fretted before snapping over to Tanjiro with a dark glare, making him jump at the sudden change of demeanor. "How dare you not let a terribly injured Lana-chan rest? YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST CARRIED HER LIKE A MAN!" Zenitsu shouted angrily.
I snorted and grabbed Zenitsu's arm, making him look over to me in concern. "Is your injury hurting right now!? We should get you back into bed right away-" "No, I'm fine, really! I made Tanjiro let me come with him!" I reassured him, shaking my head. He furrowed his brows before relaxing and sighing in disbelief. "You should've told me..." I smiled guiltily, "Ah, I didn't want to worry you-" "-Zenitsu-san is right! You two should both be resting," Shinobu's sweet voice chirped menacingly. Tanjiro and I shivered, glancing over to her with apologetic eyes in hopes that she'd let us off the hook. "Now...Please, go to the infirmary before I give you a reason to stay longer," she smiled. We nodded and scrambled to get inside, rushing in past a trio of shell-shocked butterfly girls as well as a befuddled Aoi.
Not too long after Tanjiro and I got back to the infirmary and changed back to the standard patient uniform, I remembered that OH YEAH, RENGOKU IS ALIVE! LET'S GO FUCKING SEE HIM! So as I sat around a bowl of manjuu buns with Zenitsu, Tanjiro, and Inosuke (who barged in when he heard we were back), I brought up the idea of visiting him after eating. "That sounds like a great idea, Lana! I was thinking about visiting him too," Tanjiro nodded with a smile as he bit into a bun. "I'll come too! Only to make sure he doesn't flirt with Lana-chan!" Zenitsu huffed, chewing on his own bun. I snorted, "Zenny, he's like, twenty-one? I'm 16, lol. I don't think he'd wanna flirt with a fuckin' child." He squinted, "You look older! And you're beautiful and kind! Why wouldn't he want to!?" I deadpanned, "I look...like a fetus sometimes-" "WHAT'S A FETUS!? CAN I EAT IT?" Inosuke asked loudly, crumbs flying out of his mouth as he chewed on a bun. "Ohhh boy," I sighed before continuing to explain the entire reproduction process. In detail.
Zenitsu lay splayed on the floor, passed out from embarrassment while Tanjiro covered his red, steaming face. Inosuke blinked at me and tilted his head, "So girls, you-" he pointed to me. "-Have a vagina-" he pointed at the drawing I made on a piece of paper on the floor. "And boys, me, Monitsu, and Gonpachiro," he pointed at himself along with Tanjiro and Zenitsu. "-Have a penis?" He pointed at the other drawing I did of a diagram of the male genital, a bit too...graphically drawn to describe. I nodded, "Yeah." "-And the boy...puts his penis...in a girl's vagina, and after a while the boy e- eh jack..." "Ejaculates," I nodded. "E-ejaculates and that makes the girl become pregnant in her...yoo-tor-us? With an egg or something? And then a fetus is formed...And after 9 months cooking in the girl's body, she gives birth to a baby?" I nodded and beamed, giving him a thumbs up, "Yup! Good job! I'm glad you learned, hehe." "-LANA! YOU'RE A GIRL, GIVE ME A BABY!" Inosuke demanded. I gawked at him, 'NO FUCKING WAY DID HE JUST SAY THAT- GIRL WHAT-' "NO WAY!" Zenitsu and Tanjiro jumped up yelling. Inosuke glared at them, "WHAT!? WHY NOT!?" "B-BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL- LANA-CHAN DIDN'T AGREE WITH THIS, SECOND OF ALL, NO!" Zenitsu screamed. "A-AND WE'RE JUST KIDS! AND BESIDES, LANA-CHAN IS OUR GIRLFRIEND!" Zenitsu cried angrily, Tanjiro nodding furiously.
I was dying, cackling on the floor about to BUST A FUCKIN' LUNG. "Lana, please!" Tanjiro said in exasperation. I laughed harder, out of breath as my face turned red. "THAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY BRO, I- I- CAN'TTTT! BITCH, I'M SCREAMINGGG," I wheezed, smacking the floor. Zenitsu and Inosuke continued to bicker while Tanjiro worried over how out of breath I was getting. Eventually we calmed down, but not before Inosuke asked me, "So why can't you give me a baby!?" Zenitsu was about to go on another rampage before I laughed and shook my head. "Well, for one, I'm 16, aaand I'd rather have kids when I'm, like, 25 or so. Aaaaand we're not together, I'm with Zenitsu and Tanjiro, remember? So I'm gonna have a baby with them!" I cheered. I watched in amusement as Zenitsu froze up before promptly passing out again, face heavily flushed and giggling under his breath while Tanjiro turned red and resumed hiding his flushed face with his hands.
"WHAT ABOUT ME!?" Inosuke growled. I tilted my head and pursed my lips. "Well...I mean, it's up to you if you think you're ready for a relationship. I mean, we already act together, no?" I chuckled. I glanced over to Tanjiro and Zenitsu, "Well, I'll have to talk about it further with the boys and see how they feel about it, okay?" Inosuke nodded and with that, I finally reached for a manjuu bun. "Errrrrr...IIII donnnn't liiikee iittt," I dragged out, face cringing in disgust at the bun. I patted Zenitsu's leg, "Thank you baby for being kind enough to bring food, but it's...not my kind of food." He let out a wrangled noise in response and I smiled sympathetically at him. "I'll make us tea after we go visit Rengoku-san, yeah?" He paused before nodding and slowly getting off the floor, digging into another bun.
After they finished eating the buns, we all got up and made our way out the infirmary, coincidently running into Aoi. "Aoi! Hey! It's been...A day!" I laughed. The blue-eyed girl teared up, making me panic, "Uh- What's wrong-!?" "You're...Y-you're injuries were horrible! Your shoulder was so gruesome, Shinobu-sama had to do the stitches for me since I was shaking so much..." she sniffed. I looked at her in surprise before I softly smiled and patted her head. "I'm sorry for making you worry, but hey! Rengoku-san is alive and so am I! I think...it was worth it in the end, y'know?" She sorrowfully nodded and wiped her eyes. "You're too kind for your own good...You'll kill yourself one day doing that," she muttered. I gave her a wry smile, "Maybe." Tanjiro awkwardly piped up, "We were wondering if we could visit Rengoku-san, actually!" Aoi looked at him and nodded, "He just woke up, I'm sure Shinobu-sama wouldn't mind if you went over to his room." She whipped around and began walking down the hallway, "This way."
As we walked, I remembered Ozaki-san and the other patients we saved before. "Oh! Um, Aoi? What happened to Ozaki and the others?" I asked her, walking by her side. "Well, a few hours after you guys left, they began their recovery training. Kanao's helping them right now, actually!" She replied. I smiled, "I'm glad! It's good that they're feeling better now!" She nodded with me before stopping in front of a wooden door. "He's in this room. Call me if you need anything!" she called over her shoulder as she walked off. "Thanks Aoi!" Tanjiro and I exclaimed, waving as she left.
I reached for the door knob before hesitating and knocking. "Rengoku-san? It's Lana-" "Come in!" his muffled voice exclaimed. And with that, I opened the door and walked in, the boys trailing behind me. "Rengoku-san!" Tanjiro gasped, staring ahead at said man on the only bed in the room. I slowly moved my gaze over to Rengoku, only to softly open my mouth in silent shock, sadness filling my heart. There he was, bright and proud, only he wore a plain white gauze wrapped around his left eye as well as bandages around his forehead. He smiled softly at us, and my heart ached. "Well? Aren't you gonna sit down?" He motioned to the chairs around the room. We jumped and went over to sit next to him, surrounding his bed. Tanjiro and I sat next to each other, although I was closer to Kyojuro, while Zenitsu and Inosuke sat on the other side of the bed. "How do feel?" I asked him, giving him a small smile although the sight of him looking so pitifully on the bed, bandages and all- made me want to burst out crying. "Terrible! Exhausted!" He laughed, his chuckles not holding an ounce of pain or drowsiness whatsoever. Knowing how well he is at hiding pain and trying to laugh off any serious situation involving him, I gave him a face full of sadness.
"Rengoku-san..." Tanjiro said sympathetically, possibly thinking the same thing as me. "Don't force yourself," I scolded him worriedly. The Flame Hashira blinked at us owlishly and patted our heads with a fond smile, "You kids don't have to worry about me! I'll be fine!" I sniffled, struggling to contain my emotions and admitted, "But...Seeing you like this hurts." The three boys nodded, and surprisingly Zenitsu was also at the brink of tears, possibly because seeing one of the powerful hashira banged up was incredibly terrifying. And it was, for all of us. "Please, for my sake, let's keep the mood light, yeah?" Rengoku smiled. I reluctantly sighed and nodded, forcing a crooked grin onto my face at his request. "There we go! Although, I think I'd much rather see you smile genuinely," Rengoku said, pointing at his own grin. I sniffed and dropped my smile, face-planting into the sheets. "I can't smile while you're injured like this..." I said, my voice heavily muffled by the blankets.
Tanjiro rubbed my back comfortingly and sighed, "None of us can. It's worrying, seeing you like this, Rengoku-san..." "Call me Kyojuro! Calling me by my last name reminds me too much of my father! I believe you've met my family already, right?" I sat up and nodded with Tanjiro. "You're brother, Senjuro, is so adorable!" I said with a small smile, remembering the sweetheart who I decided to take on as my student. "Indeed he is! I hope he's doing well!" Kyojuro boomed, chuckling. "Senjuro!? I'll kill him," Zenitsu hissed before Tanjiro gave him a sharp look. "He's, like, eleven," I snorted, amused by Zenitsu's antics. "Fourteen to be exact!" Kyojuro added. "HE'S ONLY TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU LANA-CHAN! HE PROBABLY FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU ALREADY!" Zenitsu freaked out, foaming at the mouth. We all laughed, thankfully feeling the mood lighten with Zenitsu's behavior. 'I really hope he did that on purpose to make us laugh...otherwise this big insecurity of his is really concerning...' I thought to myself before shaking it off and turning my attention back to Kyojuro.
As we chattered on, eventually Kyojuro announced that he was feeling pretty thirsty, so I immediately reached over to the bedside table right next to me in order to pour him a glass. As I was standing up to get a better angle, I paused when I felt a large hand press into my left boob. Glancing down with wide eyes, I looked to see Kyojuro's face full of surprise before his face slowly turned red and he immediately plopped back down in his bed, avoiding my gaze. Tanjiro and Zenitsu gaped at him for a few seconds before Kyojuro coughed. "I apologize! I didn't know you were going to-!" "How...DARE YOU PUT YOUR DIRTY, SCUMMY, FILTHY HANDS ON MY LANA-CHAN!? I'LL KILL YOUUU!" Zenitsu screamed in a rage, about to throw hands at Kyojuro before Tanjiro scrambled to hold him back. "I-IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT, KYOJURO-SAN!?" Tanjiro exclaimed as Zenitsu thrashed in his grip, fire in his eyes as he tried launching himself at Rengoku. Although Tanjiro tried being the sensible one in this situation, if you squint you can see the low-key frustration in his eyes.
"It was indeed an accident! In no way or form would I ever touch Lana-chan's breasts without her consent!" Kyojuro grinned, a sparkle in his eye. "SO YOU WOULD TOUCH HER BREASTS!?" Zenitsu roared. I trembled as I held back a cackle, snorting and giggling with restraint behind my hands. "As I said, with consent!" Rengoku cheerily replied, only spurring Zenitsu on further. "You...YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!" "Zenitsu!" Tanjiro cried. Zenitsu exploded, although there wasn't really much he could do due to Tanjiro's tight grip on him. Inosuke openly cackled while I puffed my cheeks out, eyes wide as I giggled to myself, pouring a glass of water for Kyojuro. Was I fazed by what happened just now? HELL NO, LMAO. It's obvious he did it on accident. I'm not gonna go all, "Pervert!" and then beat the shit out of him even though it was literally. AN ACCIDENT.
"Flamboyant as always, Kyojuro-san," I chuckled, handing him his cup. He thanked me and beamed, "Why thank you! It's my nature!" Zenitsu grumbled to himself as Tanjiro consulted him, eventually slumping back into his seat. "So, did you find the answers you were looking for at my home?" Kyojuro asked Tanjiro. My red-haired boyfriend pursed his lips and sighed, shaking his head before we both proceeded to retell what happened earlier today. "I see. Taking my little brother on as your student, eh? Congratulations! I believe in you, Lana-chan!" Kyojuro beamed, making me smile back at him. "I'll definitely try my best! Haha," I chuckled, shrugging at him. "I'm sorry my Father gave you two such a hard time. I'm worried for him, as he's slowly gotten worse over the years since Mother passed," Kyojuro apologized. I shook my head, "It's not your fault...I feel kinda sorry for him, too. I really hope he gets better." "Yeah, I hope so too," he said, looking out the window, the sky becoming pinkish. "Wow, we've been here for a while, huh?" I nodded to myself before getting out of my chair, the boys following my lead. "Thank you for having us, Kyojuro-san," Tanjiro and I bowed while Zenitsu begrudgingly bowed in respect as well. Inosuke stood behind us, his stomach growling. "LET'S GO! I'M HUNGRY! FOOD, FOOD!" Inosuke cried, patting his empty stomach. "Alright, we'll go and get dinner, yeah? Aoi must've made something already," I laughed, patting his head. "Bye, everyone!" Kyojuro waved happily. "Goodbye!" Tanjiro called back, the two of us waving back at Rengoku as we left the room. "Get well soon!" I chirped before closing the door.
Oh yeah! And later the night we arrived, Ozaki and the other demon slayers had gone back into the infirmary room, finished and exhausted with day 2 of their recovery training. As soon as they spotted us, they gaped, frozen at the door. Ozaki was the first to run up to me and began worrying over my being, questioning frantically as to why I was back the next day. I told her the whole story, from the nightmares to Akaza's arrival, to almost sacrificing myself for Rengoku. By the time I finished, she was full-on bawling her eyes out. "I'm here now at least!" I reassured her. "I didn't die or anything!" "BUT YOU COULD HAVE!"
A few weeks had passed, my arm had gotten better and Kyojuro had healed up as well! Only now, he wore a black eye patch covering his left eye since it had been gravely smashed in and unable to heal. At first, it was hard to look him in the...eye, feeling like it was my fault for not stepping in sooner, then maybe he could've been so much better than he is now. As I eventually voiced this guilt, Kyojuro consoled me on it, constantly reassuring me that I did the best I could and received the best outcome. I couldn't argue with that. It is true, that had I might've gone later or too early, it would have definitely ended up with one of us- or both of us, dead. Who knows, but all I knew was that Kyojuro was blind from one eye, and it almost hurt to look at him because whenever I would, that day's events would replay in my head. Oh, I haven't even touched on the nightmares I'd get. Almost every night, the nightmares Enmu made me see repeated in my sleep, making me wake the others up from my whimpering and crying. Tanjiro had a similar problem, as he'd wake up crying sometimes as well. We would hold one another until we fell asleep, but it'd just repeat the next night again.
Zenitsu grew worried for us and occasionally made us chamomile tea, which did help to ease some of my nerves, but the nightmares would always plague me. I guessed it might've been a side-effect or something from Enmu's blood demon art, but I'll never truly know. When brought up to Shinbou, she prescribed us medicine to help give us dreamless sleep, although I am quite forgetful...Thankfully, most nights the boys, along with the butterfly gals, would remind me. Speaking of said butterfly girls, I ran into Kanao a few days after we returned to the infirmary. Weirdly enough, she was wayyyy more expressive, and I actually managed to make her blush multiple times! And then I remembered that after her encounter with Tanjiro, including me this time, her whole personality changed, so I quickly got over the sudden change in demeanor.
About a week ago, I had announced to the boys that I would be seeing Shinobu about something. The boys looked at me in confusion. "What's the matter Lana? Are you still in pain?" Tanjiro asked me. I shook my head, "It's something else. It's about my training. I...wanna see if she can hook me up with a pillar." "'Hook you up'!? You're gonna cheat on us!?" Zenitsu screamed in horror. I jumped and frantically shook my head in denial. "What!? No, I meant if she can set me up with a pillar to train with them," I explained, making them blink and nod in understanding. "Wait, but why do you wanna train with a pillar instead of us? That sounds kinda scary..." Zenitsu said a bit sadly. I went up to him and grabbed his hand, looking at him with a half-smile. "I just wanna get stronger, maybe even learn a new breathing style if they're willing. It's nothing against you guys! Never!"
He looked at me for a moment before sighing and smiling back at me. "If that's what Lana-chan wants, then I support you!" Tanjiro nodded, albeit he had a similar unenthusiastic smile on his face. "Me too. Just make sure we stay in contact, okay?" I beamed, "Duh! How could I not talk to my favorite boys?" I ruffed the top of Inosuke's boar mask and booped his nose, just like back in training. "You too Inosuke, just make sure to ask Tanjiro or Zenitsu, or anyone really, for help when writing back to me, yeah? Don't be stubborn now," I chuckled. Inosuke huffed and booped me back. "WHATEVER! I'LL FIGHT YOU AFTER YOUR TRAINING!" I laughed, "Sure, but I'll beat you into the ground, boy!" "WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" He growled playfully.
After finally being able to recover from the whole train ordeal, it was time to get back to training. As Aoi announced this to us, I made a request to see Shinobu. The boys looked at me in understanding, smiling at me as Aoi nodded. "Good luck, Lana-chan!" Zenitsu beamed, waving at me. Tanjiro grinned and waved as well, "I believe in you!" Inosuke yelled, "BRING FOOD WHEN WE'RE DONE!" I smiled softly and nodded. "Alright then! HERE I GO GUYS!" After waving them off, Aoi walked me out into the hallway and took me to Shinobu's office, where the purple-eyed Goddess herself sat looking over a parchment. The insect pillar looked up and smiled, waving us over. "I'll get going now, I'm very busy," Aoi said, bidding me goodbye.
"Thank you!" I waved after her before stepping into Shinobu's office, sitting over on the chair across from her. "What do you need me for Lana-chan? Is it your arm?" She questioned. I shook my head, picking at the skin on my fingertips nervously. "Uh- well, it's not that- but about training," I told her. She blinked, "Oh? What can I do for you?" "C-could you please, um, well- do you think any of the pillars would mind taking me in for training? Just for a couple of months or so? Even a few weeks would suffice!" I hesitantly asked her, cringing internally as I sounded a bit desperate at the end. She hummed and smiled, "Well, I can think of...well, actually- just one. Kanroji-san is usually free, and she's always talked about wanting a student or her own tsuguko." My eyes sparkled as I gasped excitedly, "Wait- really!? Th-that would be amazing! Please!"
She smiled and nodded, "I'll send a crow to Kanroji-san. She replies fairly quickly so you should be expecting a crow soon!" I beamed and nodded, trying to restrain my giggles of joy. I sprang up and bowed lowly, thanking her over and over again for her kindness. She chuckled and patted my head. "I wish you the best of luck, Lana-chan!" I beamed and nodded before rushing out the door, jumping and skipping down the hallway like an idiot. "One, Two- It's so hard to say it, but darling let's face it! These feels revealing, cannot be ignored!" I sang giddily, bouncing down the halls and drumming my fingers in the air. "DO-DO DODO DOO DO DODO DO-DO DODO DOOO DO DO-DO DODO DO-DO DODO DO- DODO DO DO DO!" Dancing into the empty infirmary room, I vibed out, singing and dancing around the room happily. It was one song after another, from anime openings to throat-screaming to MCR, I just couldn't stop! Until I grew tired, lol. "Man, I could probably make a whole career stealing future music and pretending I made up whole genres," I snorted to myself.
"...Actually, that low-key sounds like a good idea. Fuck it, red light district arc is where I make my debut, but like...what song would I even sing in front of a bunch of perverted, snobby old men? Ugh, decisions, decisions," I pondered to myself before I was interrupted by a peck at the window. Snapping my gaze over to the windowsill, there was a crow flapping it's wings while a letter was tied to it's leg. Hurriedly making my way over, I opened the window and it flew in, resting on my healed shoulder. "Awe, you're such a cutie! Are you Shinobu's crow?" I cooed, stroking it's feathery head with my finger. It cooed and nodded speaking with a high-pitched voice, "Message! For Lana-chan! From Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri!" I squealed and eagerly, but carefully, untied the letter from it's leg and folded it open, revealing a long paragraph of Japanese characters. I couldn't tell the difference between Kanji and Hiragana, but either way I couldn't read it. "Shit," I groaned to myself before looked over to the crow. "Can it...? Bruh, what is my dumbass thinking, oh my god," I muttered to myself before walking out the infirmary room, Shinobu's crow on my shoulder and Mitsuri's letter grasped in my hand.
Re-entering Shinobu's office, I waved. "Hey, I got the letter!" I told her, sitting down on the same seat as her crow flew to a shelf, resting there. She beamed at me, "That's wonderful! So, what did she say? Are you leaving?" I smiled stiffly at her, my eyes comically wide. "I...can't read Kanji or Hiragana...So I was wondering if you could read it for me?" I admitted. She giggled and nodded, "Of course! Now, let's see...
Dear Lana-chan,
It's alright if I call you -chan, right? Let me know if otherwise! Anyway, I would be honored if you would be my student! You see, I've always wanted someone to take on! And you're just perfect! When I saw you at the trial, I just thought- 'What a cute girl! I'd love to be friends with her!' And here you are! I just can't wait to meet you and teach you everything I know! My teacher was Rengoku-san, the Flame Pillar. I've heard from Shinobu-chan Kocho-san that you two are already acquainted! How delightful! She had also told me of how you saved him from his fate, and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. It brings me to tears thinking of how passionate and selfless you are! I can't believe someone so amazing wants to be my student!
Sorry! I went a bit off-topic. But I'm excited to see you! I'll be dropping by around the afternoon to pick you up. I'd also like to let you know that my dear friend and fellow pillar, Iguro-san will be joining us. He wants to meet you as well! Please be ready with your possessions, as I'll just be coming by to pick you up and then return to my home. We'll discuss more along the way back, I'm so excited!
Sincerely,
Kanroji Mituri, Love Pillar." Shinobu finished, looking back up at me. I was gaping, eyes wide as I became speechless. "Well, there you have it. Congratulations, Lana-chan! You're officially the Love Pillar's student. First official student, I believe. She's trained others during pillar training, but she's never had a single student to focus on and teach her breath. I'm sure she'll tell you more along the way," Shinobu smiled. I slowly blinked, still in disbelief before it slowly processed in my brain and a wide grin spread across my face, my cheeks turning red in excitement. "No way...NO WAY! This is crazy! Oh my god- I can't wait to tell everyone!" I squealed. "She sounds so nice! AWE, I wanna be really close to her! Wow, this is- wow I can't believe this!" I broke out into laughter, filled with joy. Shinobu beamed, "You remind me a lot of her, you know. I'm sure you'll get along more than fine!"
"YAY!" I cheered as she handed me the parchment back, dismissing me. "I'm sure everyone's finishing up training, so why don't you go tell them?" She nodded at me. I nodded back, skipping to the doorway and waving at her gratefully. "Thank you so much!" She waved back and I happily skipped down the hallway, much like before. I internally squealed, squeezing my lips shut as I released a muffled scream of excitement. 'OHHHMYYYGOOOD! FUCK YES! FUCKYEAHFUCKYEAH! DUDE OKAY I'M GONNA HAVE TO TALK WITH HER ABOUT MY SCHEDULE SINCE I'M GONNA BE TRAINING SENJURO, AND THEN- GASP, DUDE FUCKING OBANAI IS COMING- HE'S GONNA BEAT MY ASS FOR EVEN BREATHING AROUND HER I SWEAR, I'M ACTUALLY KINDA SCARED, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! FUCK IT! LET'S GOOOOO!'
...To be continued...
