Chapter 35
Serena's POV:
I was still watching the demon as he was helping Daki attaching her head back on. I realised, he had the number 6 on his eyes, just like Daki. So, that means... that's Daki's big brother!!! Oh, no! They must be strong together too! Also, I had a good look of him as he was still helping his sister.
"Crying's not gonna help. At least attach your own head yourself. You really are lacking in the brains department, huh" he said as he fixed Daki but, she was still crying. "Man, your face got burned? Take care of that thing. You were born with such a cute face, after all" he said as he wipes away the burn mark of Daki's face. I was watching both Daki & her brother until Tengen tries to cut their heads off but, the demon turned to Tengen as I think fast to save him.
"Tengen! Watch out!" I said as I pushed Tengen out of the way until I took the hit instead. "SERENA!!!" I heard Tengen shouted my name in worried tone as I was struggling to get up from the floor. "Heh, not bad. She took the hit instead to protect you" he said as he was still looking at me until he turned around to Tengen.
"Niiice, man. Niiice face. Niiice skin. No spots, no birthmarks, no wounds" he said to him as Tengen was standing in front of me. The demon saw Tengen was trying to protect me from them as he was on his guard. "The envy, ohhhhh the envy. And, you'll get a real painful death now. I'll skin you alive and claw your innards out right after. Could you just drop dead?" he said as I was really scared for Tengen's safety until Kyojuro came just in time and he saw Tengen was protecting me even, he saw I was injured too.
"Serena! Are you okay?! Tengen! What happen?! Even, how is there another demon here too?!" Kyojuro asked as he pulled out his nichirin sword. "Wait... Your the flame Hashira. Right? Akaza told us about you even, this girl save you too. Anyways, I should tell my name to her. She looked really confused" he said as he points his finger at me. Tengen & Kyojuro tighten their grip on their swords as they were still on their guard.
"Should I call you, princess? Or, queen?" he said as I was really scared of him. He's even worster, then Daki. "ONII-CHAN, HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE'S MORE!! GO KILL THE GIRL WHO BURNED ME! DO IT! I WAS WORKING SO HARD. I WAS WORKING SUPER SUPER HARD ALONE...! AND YET THEY ALL GOT IN THE WAY AND BULLIED ME!! THEY ALL KEPT BULLYING ME!!" Daki said as I was now really worried for everyone.
"Yeaah, yeaah, unforgivable. My cute, dumb little sister was working so hard. I'll kill anyone who tries to bully her. Time to collect the debts. I'll collect one for every bruise they put on you. I'll make you spin round and round when you die. Because my name's Gyutaro!" he said as he started to attack Tengen & Kyojuro. They quickly dodge Gyutaro's attack as I was watching them fight.
"The envy, maaaan. You really are a niiice guy, huh. Protecting the humans, looking cool, niiice. And, you're a savior in the their eyes, huh. I'm sure they'll shower love and gratitude upon you" Gyutaro said as Tengen was protecting the two people even, Kyojuro was protecting me too. "Well, yeah. I'm a flamboyant, elegant, labies' man, so of course. I even have three wives" Tengen said as I saw Gyutaro's expression becoming angry of this.
"You got three wives now? You're kidding me, right?! Riiiight?! Unforgivable!! Now your going to end up marry her too?! If you marry her! You'll became a king! Blood Demon Art: Splatter sickle!" Gyutaro said as I got scared for Tengen. "Tengen!!!" I said as I tried to go and help him but, Kyojuro stops me from doing that. Then Tengen told Kyojuro to take me away from here as he did so.
"You're not getting away. Now turn splatter sickle" Gyutaro said as Kyojuro was holding me in his arms. "Kyojuro! Tengen needs help! He's going to die!" I said as I was still worried for Tengen until there was explosion. I break free from Kyojuro's hold as I run towards the explosion. Kyojuro called my name as I was still running until I saw Tengen standing and he saw me.
"Serena?! Get out of here! Your not safe here!" Tengen said as he was worried for me until we both saw Daki & Gyutaro, they are working together.
"The two of us one after all. You're different, man. Different from all of the pillars I've killed up to now" Gyutaro said to him as Tengen came to me so he can protect me from them. "You were a special guy from the moment you were born. You got that chosen talent. The envy, man. I just wanna put an end to you right this instant" Gyutaro said as Tengen was quiet until he begin to talk.
"Talent? Hah. Do I look like I have some kinda talent? If that's how you see someone like me, you must have had a wonderful life" Tengen said as I watched him in worried. My injury from Gyutaro was really painful as I was trying not to cry. "This country's huge. There are swarms of amazing guys. You've lived hundreds of years, yet you shut yourself up in this place. I'm not surprised you don't know how the world works" Tengen said as I was amazed of his speech.
"And there are some really strange guys out there. There are some guys who became pillars just two months after picking up a blade. I got chosen? Don't mess with me. How many lives do you think have slipped through my fingers?" Tengen asked to Gyutaro as I quickly get my sword just in time.
"Gnnngh. Then how do you explain this? Why are you still alive now? My 'blood sickle' is full of deadly poison. But you still haven't dropped dead yet, right? Riiiiight?! Oh, wait. That princess or queen took the in poison" Gyutaro said as Tengen got really worried for me, he looked at me for a second until he turned back to him.
"I'm from a family of shinobi. I developed some resistance, so poison won't work" Tengen said to them as Daki shouted to him. "The Shinobi went extinct in the edo era. Don't lie to us!" Daki said as she was glaring at Tengen still.
"That whole 'nothing working' thing was a bluff, wasn't it. Laaaaame. Hee hee hee. Hee. Hee hee hee. Well, would you look at that. The poison's working, slow and steady on her but that man is going to be really angry of me. He wants us to bring her alive after all" Gyutaro said as he was smiling creepily at us. Tengen turned to me and he looked really worried for me.
"Serena. Please, hang on. I don't want you to die" Tengen said in a worried tone as I just give him a weak smile because the poison was working on me. "Tengen... I need you to concentrate on that demon... and, save everyone too" I said as my breathing was getting heavy too. Then Tengen turned around to Gyutaro & Daki until he's expression was showing anger to them. This cannot be good.
