The many escapades of Zarbon: Volume Two

Zarbon's earring quest (part 2)

Zarbon was following along behind Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko as the lot of them continued on in their efforts to recover Tanjiro's special earrings, which had been mugged from him during the last Black Friday. Zarbon and the others came upon the house of the woman who had been the one to mug Tanjiro for his earrings, the location of the residence having been given to the group by a relative of the woman's.

"Okay team, we're getting close," Tanjiro said to the others, "The woman who mugged me for my special earrings lives right here. We go in, find and question the woman, and get the information we need to track down my earrings at last. Are there any questions?"

"Uhh, yeah," Inosuke began as he raised a hand, "Why the fuck did you allow that woman to kick your ass and mug you in the first place? We wouldn't have to be doing any of this at all if you did to that woman what all that I do to idiots dumb enough to attempt to try and make off with my special boar mask that I'm wearing."

Turning to look at Inosuke, Zenitsu began explaining, "You see Inosuke, at the time of Tanjiro's mugging, Demon Slayers were barred from any attempts to physically harm civilians by the higher ups in our organization, although that never stopped you. However, because of Tanjiro's case where he was mugged because the rules at the time essentially required him to let it happen, the higher ups changed the rules to permit self defense so that cases like Tanjiro's didn't happen again."

Zarbon, looking confused, looked to the Demon Slayers. "Hang on a minute," began the elite space warrior from another planet, "You mean to tell me that the higher ups of your organization didn't permit you to defend yourselves from hostile civilians until Tanjiro was mugged because rules at the time basically forced him to let the mugging occur?"

The others all nodded, with Zenitsu adding, "Yeah, when it was pointed out that the higher ups were running things like the average public school, they had made movements to change the rules. Now we're allowed to use self defense if a hostile civilian tries messing with us."

Nezuko took off her bamboo mouth gag and said, "It's about damn fucking time too, at least if you ask me." Nezuko then put her gag back on.

"Nezuko! Where did you learn that kind of language?!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he looked at his younger sister in shock.

"Yo," Inosuke said as he raised a hand, prompting Tanjiro to look right at him. Deciding to tackle that matter later, Tanjiro led the others into the residence of the woman who mugged him.

...

In a vein similar as the last place that they had gone to, Zarbon and the others tied the woman who mugged Tanjiro down to a chair. The only thing here that's different was how it was actually Tanjiro who had been the one to call for taking a hostage rather than walk in on it after leaving the rest of the group alone for a bit.

"How dare you!" the woman exclaimed as she struggled against what all was binding her, "My lawyer will be hearing about this!"

"Oh, and will you also include how you mugging Tanjiro for his special earrings is the reason why this happened?" Zarbon asked knowingly.

Scoffing bitterly, the woman said, "It's his own damn fault, you know! I offered him a very generous amount of zeni for those earrings, and yet he still refused! At least he would have gotten something out of it if he had been willing to sell, rather than force me to get them off of him by force!"

"Those earrings are a special family heirloom, you brain dead bitch!" Tanjiro snapped, very clearly having lost his cool, "What part about being told 'no' is so damn fucking hard for you to get through your thick fucking head?!"

"I'm a white American woman," the woman replied, "We don't like taking 'no' for an answer, although we got no problem giving it as one."

"Well that answers one question that I had," Inosuke said as he, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Nezuko, and Zarbon all took out wooden dowel rods, "Which tells me we'll have to get the info that we want out of you by force."

Holding up her dowel rod, Nezuko said after taking off her bamboo mouth gag, "We'll be beating you with our long, hard things of wood until we get what we want out of you."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!" Zarbon cried out in aroused, sensual pleasure before the 'interrogation' began.

...

As predicted due to her nature of being spoiled, the woman spilled all that Zarbon and the others wanted to know about five seconds into the interrogation. The group now knew where to go to find the woman's daughter, who Tanjiro's special earrings were given to. The group was now closer than ever to getting the earrings back.

Author's notes;

Tanjiro really ought to limit how much interaction Inosuke has with Nezuko without supervision if he doesn't want his little sister picking up Inosuke's foul language. Putting that aside, this chapter sees more progress in the storyline of Zarbon helping the Demon Slayer crew with getting back Tanjiro's special earrings. However, events in the next escapade, which will see Cell and the others, will throw off this storyline a bit, as well as a few other things. Later, skaters.
