Zenitsu Sleeps

Edited: June 5, 2021

Walking through the creepy corridor, hand in hand with Zenitsu and the young boy. Your breath getting heavy by the passing seconds, 'I'm scared because Tan-nii's not here but...' You glanced at Zenitsu, his whole body was trembling in fear and sweat was continually running down his face.

'...I think Zenitsu-kun's more afraid than I am. I need to protect him.'

"Zenitsu-san." The young boy whose name is Shoichi suddenly speak, startling the crap out of him.

"Uwah!" Zenitsu jumps and clung to the boy, "S-Signal...signal me first! My heart nearly flew out of my mouth just now!"

Shoichi apologize, "It's just that... See...you've been sweating, gasping and shivering so horribly." His figure slump as he said, "Forgive me for saying so, buy you're making us nervous, too, so..." He looks at you with timid eyes.

You smile at him and muttered a small thank you, "Zenitsu-kun...he's right, we need to calm down and find Tan-nii as quickly as we can."

Zenitsu looks at you with teary eyes, "But...e-even still... If we talk too much, those demons and all will...they might find us, right? That's why... I think it would be best to stay as quiet as possible! Right?"

"Three kids."

All of you turned towards the sound of the voice. There was a demon on the floor, its long tongue dangling from its mouth.

"Probably the most agreeable to the tongue."

Zenitsu shriek, as he freaks out, "What did I tell you?! A demon showed up! A demon showed up, understand?!"

You started to unsheathe your sword but the pain in your chest decided to appear, 'Ngh...not now, I need to slay the demon.' You tightly clutch your chest as the throbbing pain slowly builds up. Zenitsu didn't notice your state because he was too terrified to notice.

The demon chased all of you down the long corridor, attacking all of you with his slithery long tongue in the process.

Zenitsu shriek, "Stay away! Stay away from us! Stop that!" He continued to throw words, as all of you run away, "W-We don't taste good! I'm sure I taste awful."

Your hand was still clutching your chest, the throbbing pain never subsiding but thanks to your great agility and light body you were able to keep a safe distance away from the demon, 'I need to endure the pain.'

"How will I know until I have a taste?" The demon said as it stretch out its tongue to attack one of you, but all of you were able to dodge its attack and instead, hit one of the vase.

"What was that? Quick-tongued?! It split a vase in two!" Zenitsu commented as he hold Shoichi in his arms, "That's just not possible!" The demon attack again, making all of you jumped towards a room to dodge its attack.

You groaned from the pain, curling up on the ground and both hands grasping your chest, 'I-It hurts! It really hurts! I feel like my insides are burning from the pain...' Your eyes tightly closed as you find it difficult to breath.

"(Y/n)-san! Are you all right?!" Shoichi immediately went to you, "Zenitsu-san! Get up! (Y/n)-san is hurting!"

The demon was getting closer to all of you.

Zenitsu crawls to your side, "(Y-Y/n)-chan! Oh God are you okay does your chest hurt does anything else hurt?" He rambled, while trembling and panicking, "S-Shoichi! Just leave m-me behind and leave with (Y/n), o-okay? Make a r-run for it!"

"I can't do something like that!" Shoichi insisted but he still grabs you by the shoulder and gently drags you from the corner of the room, away from the demon.
