"Lateral Lightning-Styled Water Wheel!"
Mixing different attacks from different breathing techniques isn't an easy feat. It would take a tactical effort to be able to pull it off, even in a dire situation that requires a quick reaction or a plan. Tanjiro, however, used his quick wits and together with BoBoiBoy Lightning's impressive precise speed, they made it look easy.
With one sequential slice, mixed with the power of water and lightning, they slashed off Yahaba's head, leaving his neck area erupting blood and his body slumped down on the ground. The boys both crashed on the ground after doing their combo technique.
"Aughh...!" Lightning winced in pain. It was stronger than before. His Heightened Senses wore off, leaving him with the after-effects of the hidden ability. Veins appeared on his head and was breathing heavily.
'I maintained it... for too long... Now my head... is aching in sharp pain...' Lightning gritted his teeth and made an attempt to get up slowly. He lend a hand to Tanjiro and he happily accepted it.
"We did it..." Tanjiro grinned.
"It is thanks to your plan, we managed to slice off the arrow demon's neck." Lightning praised.
"Yeah. The Whirlpool move loses force when it's not underwater. But thanks to my opponent's attack, it gained power and I was able to envelope the arrows." Tanjiro explained how it happened.
"Furthermore, I was able to redirect the demon's arrows by making the arrows chase me and to use the Twister move to double the power and use the arrows against it, also combining yours and slashing his neck." Lightning added. Combo moves were his forté. That time he made combo moves were with Earth, Wind, and Water. He was still getting the hang of it, however.
"Damn!" Yahaba's head rolled on the ground and a piece of his eyeball on his supposed-closed face fell out and left hanging. "Curse you! Curse you! Curse you!"
'Holy— so he does have eyes in his head...' Lightning thought.
"All I had to do was bring back your heads and I would've won his approval! I'll never forgive you! I'll never ever forgive you! Shoving my face into this vile dirt!"
His body isn't entirely dead yet and responded by raising his hands, which revealed his eyeballs again.
"You're both going down with me!" The eyeballs blinked harshly. And several arrows were summoned in Tanjiro and Lightning.
"What in the world!?" Lightning exclaimed as he looked around his body to be covered in arrows pointing in different locations. He didn't have time to register what's going to happen later when he and Tanjiro were swerving in one direction.
'The pull of the arrow is too strong! The force of moving it is insane! If this keeps up, I need to unleash a move to blunt the blow!' Lightning thought until a wall is nearing in his point of view.
'I have to hurry or my body is gonna be smashed! Fourth Form! Lightning Lash!' He thrusted his sword on the wall, creating dentures and dust to form, and he crashed on the ground. Another arrow appeared pointing up and he flew up in the air quick.
'Too... much... pressure. I can't even swing my sword because of it! Use a move! Just keep using a move to counter it! Second Form! Electric Stab!'
He unleashed another move and slash in the air, making sparks of electricity appear. An arrow pointing below appeared and it's hurling close to the roof.
"Thunderbolt! Volt Barrage! Thrusting Wave Spark-curve! Furious Lightning Blade!" Were his consecutive moves as he was dragged in many different places at a fast rate. Tanjiro, on the other hand, is also doing the same, unleashing sequential moves to soften their damages, even if it means using up every bits of energy in their body.
'I've never made this many consecutive moves before! My arms and legs felt like jelly! I'm growing fatigue in a matter of seconds!'
"Nowhere near enough! More... Suffer more!"
If one can see up in the air, they can see a variety of lightning and water zigzagging across the whole sky limit with arrows directing their bodies. Pushing past their limits, and heavy breaths were accompanied in the midst of all chaos that is happening above. Lightning and Tanjiro were the most unfortunate to ever suffer this much.
'Keep... doing it... Just... Keep... Doing it!!!' Lightning is beyond mad, proven by the flashing yellow glow of his eyes. They grew even brighter until it's replaced with red crimson orbs.
"Not yet! It's still not enough yet!" Yahaba's head completely distengrated.
"Thunder Speed!"
One mighty dash is all it takes to free himself from the arrows' grasp and he sped across until his arms caught Tanjiro and they both landed safely on the ground. Lightning's arms grew heavy and dropped Tanjiro and even himself. His eyes reverted back to his original yellow orbs.
They breathed really heavily, almost in a hyperventilating state. The battle was a hard fought. It costed them a broken leg and two broken ribs. They made an attempt to get up but was unable to. Lightning wanted to grip his sword's handle yet he cannot grasp onto it. Exhaustion fully consumes him and he fell back on the ground harshly. His body felt even heavier than he was before.
Tanjiro, being stubborn as he is, grabbed the sword using his teeth and crawled slowly towards his way to Nezuko, with Wind and Yushiro.
"It's all... up to... you now... Wind." Lightning said in between breathes and rested.
Susamaru dribbled on her temari balls until dust completely envelopes around them. She then threw her balls at them using this dust's advantage. Yushiro can be seen dodging the temari balls with relative ease along with Wind, with his enhanced senses still enabled.
"Ridiculous! It's child's play for me to evade a linear attack like this! Locating you is a breeze, as well!" Yushiro said and activated his cloaking spell.
"It's probably not a good idea to tell her what you know!" Wind told Yushiro but it was too late.
'The same goes for you too.' Her grin just got wider. 'No matter how well you might conceal yourself, I can see you clear as day!'
With one big swing of her arm, the temari ball found its way to Yushiro was about to smash his head.
"Not on my watch! Wind Breathing... Third Form... Wind Wall Blade Mode!"
Wind momentarily used his blade to block the incoming round projectile. Gusts of wind picked around Wind's sword and pushed the ball back somewhere.
"Aughhh!!" Wind got down on one knee as he felt strains from the Heightened Senses kicking in. He let go of his sword as an instinct.
"What is the problem with you?" Yushiro expresses slight concern for the other BoBoiBoy.
The female demon laughed in pure joy for seeing him in pain. "What fun this is! It'll be easier to deal with you now that you are vulnerable!"
Wind put a hand on his face. Blood is seen trickling down his forehead. The straining isn't going to stop soon as he kept up a strong guard.
"Heh... Now we're in trouble..." He said in a low tone. Yushiro heard him saying it and put up a strong front.
"Y-Yushiro...?" Wind said, a surprise expression on his face.
"It is disgusting for me to protect you of all people! But I know Lady Tamayo would be displeased and disheartened to see you die in front of her!" Yushiro said in an angry manner.
"So you do care for humans..." Wind smiled at him, which earned him a scowl from Yushiro himself.
"Hahahaha! What a lovely chat you guys have! But too bad that you are all going to die from me!" Susamaru threw her ball again, a more powerful throw than any throws she had ever done before. Yushiro braced himself for the impact while Wind closed his eyes in fear.
But it didn't arrive. Yushiro widened his eyes to see Nezuko kicking the ball out of his way with her newly recovered leg. Wind slowly opened his eyes, wondering why there was no noise of the ball smashing Yushiro's face. He was relieved and glad to see Nezuko well again.
"Nezuko! You're alright!" Wind cheerfully said from the sight of her.
"Hey you! Don't be so rash just because you're immortal!
Due to the hypnotism spell used on her, Nezuko sees Yushiro as her little brother, Rokuta Kamado. Her eyes wondered all over him.
"Wh-what's wrong?" Yushiro asked confusedly. Nezuko responded by rubbing his head with her hand, thinking it was her little brother. Wind watched with curious eyes until he bursts out with laughter.
"What do you think you're doing? Here it comes!" Yushiro dismissed her and Nezuko entered her combat prowess. She kicked away the ball thrown at her before kicking another ball back to Susamaru.
"Look at her." Yushiro stayed back and watched her do it and was impressed to how she managed to kick the temari ball full force.
Tamayo now appeared beside Yushiro. "Lady Tamayo..."
She spun her head around to face Wind with deep worry across her face. "Are you all right?"
Wind kindly waved her off. "My head's killing me but I'm okay for now."
Although he did say he's okay, Tamayo reached in through her kimono until she pulled out some kind of medicine and handed it over to him.
"Here. This will relieve your pain soon. Take some of it and you will be fine." She handed some painkillers to Wind, and thanked her for her concerns for him.
Back to the matter at hand, Nezuko kicked another ball back at Susamaru and caught the temari ball, albeit still spinning until it stopped.
'You little brat! You little brat!' Surprise and anger were accompanied. 'So, now you can kick my temari back at me? How insolent!'
She dropped the temari that was she was holding in her hand and decided to go along with it. A hard kick was sent to the ball and was received by Nezuko's own kick, and this time, she didn't lose her feet. The whole charade kept going and going, stirring up dust and cracks on the ground.
'This is some next-level soccer if I ever see one!' Wind thought and continued to watch Nezuko and the female demon have at it. 'I'm really glad I wasn't in Nezuko's position right now! My feet would've been blown to bits!'
"You damn brat!" Susamaru frustratingly pushed back the ball with enough force but Nezuko still countered it.
"Unbelievable. Lady Tamayo, is this..." Yushiro asked his partner behind him.
"I used a healing serum on her. Nothing more. Made exclusively for demons." She explained.
Yushiro dragged his attention to her now. "It doesn't make one physically stronger."
Wind walked beside Tamayo. "In other words, this is Nezuko's own strength. In just two years of not devouring any humans and able to survive without it."
"Precisely. Without devouring human blood... Solely on her own..." Tamayo finished.
"Hehe. Just take a good look at her now."
Yushiro saw him pointing his finger and looked to where he's pointing. Nezuko is struggling to kick the ball, with the force still going.
"Nezuko is gaining strength at a rapid rate." Nezuko struggled for a moment until she gained enough strength to overcome the ball's force and kicked its way back to her. Susamaru was shocked and stunned to see the ball swerved passed her in the blink of an eye and smashed the wall behind her.
'However, her opponent is also formidable. If she were to go all-out, Nezuko wouldn't stand a chance. I've got to...'
Her eyes glanced down at her arm and thought about using her spell against Susamaru. '...do something.'
Before she can do anything, she also noted that Wind is also right beside her. If she were to cast this spell, it would affect him entirely.
"BoBoiBoy..." Tamayo called to him.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I advise you to please cover your face. The technique that I will unleash will be toxicated for humans. Yushiro, hand him a clean cloth." Tamayo reminded Wind and commanded Yushiro to give him something to ward off the spell's effects on him.
Wind accepted the cloth given by Yushiro and wrapped it around his mouth and nose. He had no idea what the spell is but it's better to be safe than sorry. He'll just have to spectate what's going to happen next.
"Hahahahaha! You're an amusing little girl! This time, I'm going all-out against you!" She held up her hands and temari balls magically spawned out of nowhere. "I wonder how long you can hold out!"
Nezuko battle stanced as the fight is still not over. Veins popped up in the sides of her for head and glared at the demon so fierce-ly.
"Huh? Miss Tamayo?" Wind sees Tamayo walking up in front of Nezuko and faced to the temari demon.
"Twelve Kizuki demon girl there." Tamayo tried to strike up a conversation with her.
"You're in my way! Step back, you damn fugitive!" Susamaru warned her.
"Just tell me one thing please. Are you aware of Kibutsuji's true identity?"
The question threw her off guard. "What in the hell did you say?".
"Is she... taunting her?" Wind said in a muffled voice because of the cloth wrapped around his face.
"Just be quiet and let Lady Tamayo do her thing." Yushiro gestured him to be quiet.
"That man is nothing but a coward. He lives in constant fear of something."
Susamaru took a step back. "Stop it! Damn you! Stop it!"
"Do you know why it is that demons can't band together? The reason why demons cannibalize each other? It's to prevent other demons from banding together and attacking him. He manipulates demons to act this way. Demons like you."
"Shut up!" She then shakes her head. "Shut up! Shut up! No way is he that petty!"
'I'm wondering why she kept referring Muzan as he and him? Is there something more from that?' Wind thought when interest and curiosity ruled over him. Unbeknownst to him, Tamayo is casting her spell now; noticable from her bleeding arm under her kimono's sleeve.
"The power he wields is mind-blowing! There's no one stronger than him! Not Lord Kibutsuji!"
There was a pause to what she said. Tamayo didn't say anything as well. Realization finally entered her mind and dropped her two temari balls on her hands. She also covered her mouth in horror.
"You uttered that name out loud, haven't you?" She revealed her arm and raised it up showing that her spell has activated and was in effect. "That will trigger the curse."
"What... What is that?" Wind sees an aromatic pattern waft around the area. He was about to life up his cloth-mask when Yushiro rashly covered it with his mouth.
"Don't inhale it! That's Magical Aroma of Daylight! It weakens its target's brain functions rendering that person unable to lie or keep secrets!" Yushiro explained Tamayo's spell.
'I see... So it acts like a truth serum. That looks really pretty, though.' His eyes also went back to Susamaru, still in a frightened state.
'Her body movements screams horror. And there's this groggy, creepy sound emanating inside of her! Is that the curse Miss Tamayo's referring to?'
"I do feel sorry for you, but... farewell." She bid her farewell to the female demon.
What Wind didn't expect is she ran off from the side and yelled. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! IM BEGGING YOU! PLEASE! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Her skin is beginning to fade from grey skin to blood red in an instant, as well as her eyes that were bloodshot.
She dropped her temari ball and rolled right near Tanjiro and Lightning.
"Huh?" Lightning's eyes wandered around and saw Susamaru clenching her six arms around her. What he was disturbed at was the red colored skin and bloodshot eyes on her.
What happened first is the screaming, and the next thing happened are three huge unknown arms erupted out of her body. Tanjiro and Lightning gasped in horror, Wind and Yushiro looked on with terrified expressions. Blood left leaking out of Susamaru's body.
'W-w-what... wh-what is.. t-t-that...?' Lightning, even in his own thoughts he fails to form a coherent thought. He never seen a gruesome sight, aside from Tanjiro's family's death, in his whole life.
The hand twitched and was slowly clawing out her head. She screamed in muffled terror then her head popped like a balloon from the hand's squeeze. The two BoBoiBoys, Tanjiro, and Yushiro were forced to watch the three hands killing her from the inside.
'This is... so... brutal...!' Wind had to avert his eyes from seeing the nightmarish sight in play. The sounds of the mass and flesh being beaten like in the meat factory, the blood flowing down like a river and dyed the ground red, and the internal organs flying out of the body and slammed on the ground.
This went on for only a minute.
The horrifying event ceased this night. What's left of Susamaru is her twitching arm, her eyeball, and her kimono.
"Did she just die?" Tanjiro speak up after witnessing the almost-brutal death of a demon.
"She will die momentarily." Tamayo replied.
"Is this the curse?" Lightning asked.
Tamayo nodded. "Her physical body will be destroyed by Kibutsuji's cells still in her body. In general, battles between demons are futile. It's pointless. Because they can't inflict fatal wounds on each other. Only sunlights and swords of the Demon Slayer can do so."
They were quiet, not knowing what to say next.
"Kibutsuji alone appears to be able to destroy demon cells."
Before they can say anything, Wind and Yushiro both ran up to them, a cloth in hand, and covered their noses without them knowing.
"Don't go inhaling Lady Tamayo's spell! It's harmful to the human body! You got that?" Yushiro informed them. They nodded.
"Wind, you're okay..." Lightning is relieved. Wind crouched down and wrapped the cloth around Lightning's face. As soon as he is done, Wind tackled him in a gentle hug for comfort.
"Thank goodness you're okay!" Wind cried on his shoulder. "I was so scared!"
Lightning rolled his eyes and returned the hug.
"You're so hopeless, you know that? It would take much more than that to bring me down." He boasted and smirked. Wind sniffed and adjusted his cloth-mask.
"Tanjiro, BoBoiBoy..." Tamayo called out to them. "She is not one of the Twelve Kizuki."
She pointed her index finger on the eyeball. "The Twelve Kizuki have numbers engraved on their eyeballs, but this demon doesn't have one. Most likely, the other demon isn't a member of the Twelve Kizuki, either. They're too weak."
Their hearts sank as they know that the demons they were fighting were not one of the Twelve Demon Moons, and were surprised to know that they were weak.
"Too weak? At that level?" Tanjiro said astonished.
"If Lady Tamayo says so, there's no mistake. Still, who knew there were such stupid demons? She physically injured Lady Tamayo. She got what she deserved." Yushiro smirked.
"Harsh." Both BoBoiBoys said simultaneously.
Tamayo used an injector to extract the blood out of the twitching hand. "I hope this blood will be instrumental in developing the healing serum." She put the extracted blood inside her case.
"I'm going to take care of Nezuko. Not only did I medicate her, she also inhaled my spell inadvertently. I'm so sorry." Tamayo apologized and proceeded to go over to Nezuko.
Yushiro gasped. "Don't move a muscle! You're on your own now! I don't want to leave Lady Tamayo's side! Not for a second!"
Yushiro then ran off, leaving the three behind, to be Tamayo for the time-being. They remained there for a few moments when they heard something.
"Ma... ri..." The voice of Susamaru emanated somewhere on the spot of where she got killed.
"Mari... Mari..."
Tanjiro is the first to stand up, followed by Wind and Lightning. He grabbed the temari ball and put it down to the same spot.
"Here's your mari." Tanjiro said as he put it down.
"Play with me..." She sounded so sad. "Play with me..."
Wind had a look of sympathy on his face. "What a sad note... it's like the voice of a little kid. Even if you probably murdered lots of people."
On cue, the sun has risen on the horizon, illuminating the damp night. The sun rays had evaporated what's left of Susamaru, like her severed arm that misted into ashes.
"You were deluded into thinking... that you were in the Twelve Kizuki. You were tricked into thinking you were one and were compelled to fight about it..." Lightning said.
"And now... you were killed by the Kibutsuji curse. This is really messed up... You were killed in the worst way possible." Wind added.
Tanjiro had shaky eyes. The thought had come across him of how he viewed demons as very desperate to try and escape from the person they feared most, some demons at least. Raw determination sits on Tanjiro's face, looking at the rising sun that almost overlooked the horizon.
"Kibutsuji... This is how that man treats even those who revere him! He's a true... demon!" Tanjiro said and looked up at the sky.
Cherry blossomed trees sway in the wind peacefully, after the events of what happened last night. Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy, merged back into one, walked to the hole in the wall leading inside Tamayo's room.
"Look at all the damage being done to this room." BoBoiBoy commented as he looked around.
"Miss Tamayo! Yushiro?" Tanjiro looked for them around the damaged room. No sign of them.
"Over here! Over here!" Theybheard Yushiro's voice emanating in the basement. "Not that you need to come at all. But if you want, then get down here."
"Yushiro!" Tamayo scolded.
"Only joking!"
"Hehe. So much for that." BoBoiBoy silently laughed and Tanjiro slowly followed.
"Hurry down, then, both of you!"
They slowly descended down the basement using the narrowed stairs. BoBoiBoy is the first to come and following close behind is Tanjiro. They made it to the room and was greeted by Nezuko running towards them.
"Nezuko!" Tanjiro was happy to see her and she wrapped her arms around them, embracing them in a warm hug. They whole-heartedly accepted the hug courtesy from Nezuko.
"Hey Nezuko." BoBoiBoy cooed at her and she beamed at him from her eyes. He was very happy that Nezuko now sees him as Tanjiro's life-long brother figure and she treated him like she's her big brother.
"I moved her to this basement, where the sunlight won't reach her, ahead of daybreak." Tamayo explained her purpose of moving Nezuko in here.
"Nezuko?" Tanjiro asked when Nezuko removed the hug. She quickly went over to Tamayo and hugged her as well. Yushiro flinched at the sight of her hugging his partner.
"Why, you! Step away from Lady Tamayo! That's so rude!" He shouted at Nezuko.
"Stop it, Yushiro." Tamayo calmly dismissed him. "I don't mind at all."
"Yes ma'am!" He obeyed. 'You have such a kind heart, Lady Tamayo. You're too beautiful to believe!'
Nezuko also spotted Yushiro and patted him in the head.
"Cut... That... Out!"
"Hehehe! Awesome!" BoBoiBoy flashed a thumbs up at them and said his signature catchphrase. Tanjiro still didn't know what he meant by that.
"Nezuko has been acting in this way since she awoke. Do you think she's all right?"
Tanjiro walked forward. "There's nothing to worry about. She's fine."
"It's because of the hypnotic spell on her, she thinks you're part of Tanjiro's family." BoBoiBoy said from behind Tanjiro.
"Cut it out!" Yushiro got annoyed and backed Nezuko's arm off of him.
"Family?" Tamayo said in a confused tone. "But I thought the spell Nezuko is under causes her to see humans as family. And Yushiro and I are demons."
"Cut it out!" Yushiro still blocked Nezuko's arm trying to pat him.
"But Nezuko has perceived you two as humans. That's why she tried to protect you." Tanjiro said, making Tamayo looked at him in wonder.
"In the beginning, you really didn't like having the spell around her right?" BoBoiBoy questioned.
"Yeah, 'cause it doesn't feel right, having a spell that controls your mind. But it's all right for me now."
"I know right? I'm just getting used to the things Nezuko do in her time and—"
He stopped as they saw Tamayo letting out tears.
"Waahh! W-We're sorry! Nezuko!" BoBoiBoy exclaimed.
"Nezuko! S-Step away from her! It's rude, all right?" Tanjiro joined.
But Nezuko wouldn't let her go. Tamayo just buried her face into Nezuko's shoulder while letting her tears flow. "Thank you... Nezuko! Thank you."
They eventually calmed down after hearing Tamayo say her gratitude to the demon Kamado sibling. Yushiro, who didn't react at this, reflected on the time when he first met Tamayo in the prison room beside him.
"Do you still wish to live?" A flashback started between an ill human Yushiro and Tamayo, with Tamayo tending to Yushiro, who was laying down on a futon with a wet cloth on his forehead. This happened 200 years ago.
"Do you still wish to live even if you're no longer a human?" Tamayo had offered him a chance to live anew as a demon.
"If this goes on, you will most likely succumb to your illness. However, losing your humanity will cause you pain and grief. Do you still wish to live?" Yushiro looked on to her, with a look of sadness and hesitation.
BoBoiBoy stared at the dull green haired boy. 'The look on his face... Yushiro... You're thinking about why you became a demon, aren't you? I can tell by closely hearing what you think.'
Even if they don't get along well, with Yushiro becoming a demon in exchange for his humanity, he is still human deep down and it's his way of being considerate towards others, even if he was being a jerk to both Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy.
"Yushiro and I will be leaving this region." Tamayo declared. "We've gotten to close to Kibutsuji. We must conceal our whereabouts soon or the risk will be too great. Not to mention, even if I think I've concealed my identity."
"Why is that?" BoBoiBoy wondered what she meant by that.
"When I interact with humans as a doctor, people sometimes see through me as a demon. The young and the elderly are particularly perceptive."
"Hm." BoBoiBoy mused. 'People these days are just too paranoid when it comes to demons. I feel bad for Miss Tamayo and Yushiro.'
"Tanjiro..." Tamayo referred to the dark redhead.
"Yes?"
"Would you like us to take Nezuko in?" Tamayo offered them a choice and putting her hand on her chest to emphasize her words clearly, much to Yushiro's bewilderment on this said offer, and the boys' reaction on that.
"I can't give you an absolute guarantee that she'll be safe, but I believe it will be less dangerous than taking her into battle.." She said while Yushiro is shaking his head in desperation and begging that Tanjiro will not agree with it.
She then bats an eye on BoBoiBoy. "At least BoBoiBoy is there to aid you in the battlefield when you needed it. Even if you had trouble in the day, he's there to lend you a helping hand."
Tanjiro looks skeptical but then thinks about it. 'That might be true. She's right. It would be better for Nezuko to be in their care.'
And now, he reached to a moral dilemma. What Tamayo had said made sense. Taking Nezuko off of his hands would give him a sense of security because she's in the care of a demon who is a doctor and a demon with the ability to make an invisibility location, much like this one they're in.
A firm grip of Nezuko's gripping into his hand stopped him from thinking any further. He glanced to see Nezuko with her pure pink eyes staring deep into his magenta orbs. Even if he can't tell what she's thinking or what she's trying to say there using her eyes as to communicate with him, he understood the message clearly by the hand gripping.
He also felt a hand placed on his shoulder and tell that it was BoBoiBoy, casting one of his smiles at Tanjiro. Like Tamayo had mentioned, BoBoiBoy was always there for Tanjiro even if he doesn't even needed it. Since the death of Tanjiro's family, he has Nezuko and BoBoiBoy as the only ones left in his life. The two shared a mutual friendship they had these two years, and were almost inseparable.
He couldn't ask for a better friend than BoBoiBoy.
"Miss Tamayo, thank you so much for your concern." Tanjiro bowed down slightly. "But... Nezuko and I are staying together. We're not going to live apart from each other. Never again."
The images of his family popped up on his mind. A reminder that leaving your family will lead to an unforeseen circumstance. Tanjiro made a vow to himself that he'll never leave anyone closest to him, ever again.
"Very well." Tamayo respected his decision. "In that case, I wish you two a long-lasting good fortune in battle."
Yushiro crossed his arms and faced away. "All right. We'll be leaving after we erase all traces of ourselves. You two get going now!"
"Right!, Okay, Miss Tamayo, Yushiro, we wish you well!" Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy bowed down to show their respect.
"Let's go, Nezuko."
Nezuko turned around and ran up the stairs like a child. "Hey! Don't go rushing off like that!"
"Well, it's gonna be a long day ahead of us." BoBoiBoy grinned a happy grin when he sees Nezuko running off. He was about to go up the stairs when Yushiro stopped them.
"Tanjiro!" Yushiro looks hesitated to say something and turned to the side while facing away from their gazes.
"Your kid sister... is a beauty."
Tanjiro chuckles at him that Yushiro finally acknowledges Nezuko as a beautiful demon. Meanwhile BoBoiBoy, just beamed a smile hurling in his way.
"Hey Yushiro, are we cool now?"
He heard Yushiro sigh and slowly nodded his head, and finally faced him.
"Yeah, we're cool."
BoBoiBoy's smile just got wider. After climbing up the stairs, he heard something.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
He stopped for a moment to register what he heard.
'There's that sound again! That beeping noise! I know it sounds familiar! I know it!'
He can't recall when he heard the familiarize beeping sound. Because of his isolation in this world, he is slowly forgetting the remnants of his past. He shook his head and shrugged it off as a part of his imagination or something.
The gut feeling in him says otherwise.
The next scene changes into them walking down the path that is leading to their next destination. Tanjiro's Kasugai Crow cawed in the air for his next coordinates and BoBoiBoy's sparrow, Suzume, tweeted him the same coordinates as Tanjiro's.
"South-southeast, huh? Sure thing but can we take a break first?" BoBoiBoy said in a tired tone and Suzume lightly pecked him on the cheek.
"Ow... okay okay, geez. Hey Tanjiro, can you please tell your crow to be quiet?" BoBoiBoy complained as he had enough of the continuous caws the crow is emitting.
"Hey! I heard you okay? Please calm down!" The Kasugai Crow flew closer to Tanjiro and flapped its wings at his face. Tanjiro blocked his face with his hands.
"We get it! We get it okay!? Please ca—"
'PLEASE!" A voice boomed its way to them and looked towards the source. They saw a blonde haired boy kneeling down and begging at a young girl in a blue kimono.
"Hold up. I know that voice." BoBoiBoy is curious to know who he just heard.
"Please! Please! Please! Please, marry me! I could die any day, you know! That's why I want you to marry me! So please! Please, I'm begging you!" He cried on the disturbed young girl and begged for marriage.
"Wh-What's up with that? What on Earth?" Tanjiro broke a sweat as he sees the scene unfold in front of him.
"That boy..." BoBoiBoy narrowed his eyes on him. He can vaguely recall this boy somewhere until it clicked on his mind.
"Zenitsu...?"
Yeet! I'm really excited for the next chapter! Reason why? 'Cus now my boi Zenitsu is gonna be in the picture now!
On the downside, I'm still thinking of what dialogue I should input when BoBoiBoy meets Zenitsu for the second time. I just like the thought of having two thunder bois interacting with each other, but I really wanna make this work really well!
Look forward to the next chapter! OwO
