Demon slayer: A journey of confusion

Chapter 7: Chapter 7- time to strike



2 hours before fight

"Hmm I suppose planning is a necessity, but before that I need to get something better to wear

This shits not going to cut it " 

This kimono is uncomfortable as hell and hard to move in, so how the hell am I going to fight later

<'After Stealing another poor souls money '>

"I think I saw a European clothing department yesterday when I was walking with Keoki"

heading to the European clothing departmentt 

(European powers and Japan established trade during 1609)

"How much do I have "

"Just over 300,000 yen damn" hey it's not my fault that these people keep such a large amount on them 

***

Ding ding ding 

The chime bells rings while opening the door 

"Good morning s-, may I ask a young man, but are you lost ?"

"Huh, why do you think that"

Baffled by the adolescents retort she stammers responding " s-s-sorry sir, I had solemnly hope you can forgive me" she replied with a bow "I-Its just that you look so young"

'Why the hell is she bowing? DO I look the part of someone important, or is it just harrowed in Japanese culture?

"Raise your head miss, I should be apologizing, I did cause the misconception"

"Ahh, thank you sir-sama"

Pinching my brow I ask " I require assistance in looking for a set of clothes"

"Y-yes, what may be you budget"

"300,000 yen"

"And do you have an idea of what you're looking for" inquires the shop attendant

"I seek, a top preferably red, and a black trench coat paired with a pair of pants"

Confused by the specific pieces she questions " would that be all, sir"

"Yes, ah here's the money & just give the the clothes when you find them"

 Ding ding ding 

The chime bells echo as I leave the establishment

Now donning my own clothing I spoke in jubilance 

"I own my own pair of clothes, it kinda makes me want to tear up" I added jokingly 

What time is it, I'll say 30 minutes have passed, and the battle starts in an hour 

Planning mode ….

"Yes the p-PLANS PERFECT HAAHAHHAHAHHA!"

Walking down the alley lost 

"Damn it I must've zoned out again, anyway where am I"

*** 1 hour later***

" Was it a good idea to rent a room if I'm only going to be in it for an ho-"

Random bystander "HEY! What're you doing?! Don't fight in front of my damn shop!"

"Huh who the hell's yelling" 

turning around but halting after hearing a distinct malevolent voice 

Daki "Hmph! How rude!"

"Who's th-" 

!!SWOOSH SLING …!!

"HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE!!!" 

 Yelping as the Obi blade grazed my face destroying my room and everything In its path 

CRUSH SLIAT!!

!!

"GYAAAAAH! "

"MOMMOM MOOOOOM!"

"YAAIIIII!"

"N NO NO HIRO! Oh NOO!"

"HAHAHAHHAHA I"M DREAMING RIGHT"

Tanjiro "I can help you tie A tourniquet on your arm just stay calm"

SPT PLP

"Naaah fuck this, I'm going somewhere else" yelping as I ran away

Tanjiro " Stop! I won't let you get away from this!" (talking to Daki)

***20 minutes later*** 

"I think this is the building where Tengen decapitates Dakis head, & and that gi- giyua -gyuturad ehh fuck it that one green haired bastered, makes his first appear-"

!!!!BOOOM SWATH SA CHIMG!!!

Daki "DIE! DIE EVERYBODY DIE!"

"WAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAH! He cut off my head, Gyutaro save me!"

NNNNGGGH

 "crying won't help, you've gone and lost your head, you should pin it to your shoulders"

Tengen "I took her head off but she isn't dying, and the one that came out of her back - who is he?! His reflexes are incredible!

Gyutaro " oh no your face is burned. And you were so cute. When you have an asset like that, you have to protect it."

"Are they already fighting,I just arrived"

Tanjiro " SIR! You should escape while you can"

"Huh, are you talk-" questioning Tanjiro I realized he was already gone 

"Well I guess I should heed his advice" vocalizing 

Gripping the sword's sheath I jumped from roof to roof searching for a area I can use to observe the situation

!!!!BOOM SLANG TING SLASH!!!!

"Blood Demon Art - Flying Blood sickles !"

KABOOM!!!

 "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE"

BOOM!!!

"YAAAAH!"

"RUN HIDE YOURSELF! "

Gyutaro " Nice try, Flying Blood sickles TURN!"

!!!SHINNNNG!!!

!!!SHNNG KLANG NN!!!!

*** 6 minutes later ***

SWOOOSH SLICE!!

Using a wide ranged attack Daki demolishes the exteriors of the surrounding building flailing her Obi blades

Tengen being pursued by Gyutaro, is affected by the nuance cased by Daki collapsing all of the nearby buildings 

Tengen " it's collapsing, I can't see through all the debris"

BaMWHANKbrM

Gyutaro rushing towards Tengen while decimateing all surrounding rubble, before swiftly attacking with his blood sickles

KAKAKAK KLANK 

'He's fast. He really is like a mantis! What fighting style is this?!'

As Tengen thought this the Demons blood sickle drawn closer 

'There's no escape!'

CLANG 

As thinking those harrowing thoughts, Tanjiro's katana collides with the demons blood sickle

FWM 

'AAAAH! These attacks are slowing me down! DODGE! DEFLECT!, a direct blow might snap my blade!' 

' head on he'll always be stronger than me, but if i deflected and sidestep things might even be out.' 

When it comes to defense, flexible water breathing is superior. A blade wouldn't be chopped if you used it to begin with. 

HwOOOOFWMP!!!

Sound Breathing Fifth Form - String Performance! 

-Akito POV-

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-It's a-al-almost time to strike"

My facade of confidence now crumbling, leaving only behind a shell of self loathing, disgust and recrimination

Breathing slowly I adjusted by grip of my sword preparing my stance 

BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADU-...

'All my life I've been average, never excelling & even never trying. All my life I've made excuse after excuse trying to find validation by using vulgar language and pushing away those I found close to me …

"heh call me sentimental but please allow me to experience that story I read during those lonely times"

FWWOOOOM!

"MOON BREATHING THIRTEENTH FORM: MIDNIGHT ANARCHY, ANIMOSITY!!!"

:} end of the 7th chapter my friends 

Gave MC dramatic BK story,

 let's be honest can an MC not have a dramatic backstory and be called an MC

Remember the MC is just 14 and he's is about to enter a fight which might be lead to his death

(the only reason why he can fight is due to the moon breathing, basic swordsmanship and total concentration constant which gives him an edge against others)

MC has new clothing picture in the description
