Chapter 23

"Alright, who unhid your scars," Amaya sighed.

"I did," Isa smiled.

"I still can't believe his father shapeshifted into a wolf and scratched him," Amaya sighed.

"I remember that," Kinote replied sadly.

"Who cares about the scar, he's perfect just the way he is," Isa laughed.

"Thanks," Kinote smiled.

"Thanks Isa," Amya smiled. "Thanks for letting him stay with you."

"We didn't agree with him staying here," Inosuke snapped.

"Did I ask you?" Isa retorted. Inosuke looked at Isa in shock for a second on how sharp and serious her voice sounded even though he knew she was saying it playfully. Tanjiro and Zenetsu also seemed surprised and looked at Inosuke's reaction, while Amya and Kinote chuckled quietly and looked at Inosuke.

"I don't think you have a choice," Kinote laughed.

"That hardly sounded playful," Inosuke replied.

"Isa's a tough cookie, huh?" Amya laughed.

"Don't mess with the tiger or you'll get the claws, am I right Tanjiro," Zenitsu whispered. Tanjiro immediately looked at Isa and held back a laugh.

"Oh you'll get the claws alright," Isa snarled. They all looked at Zenitsu who had a look of shock and regret as he became pale.

"I-I f-f-forgot she had my hearing," Zenitsu stammered.

"I mean she can turn into a tiger now," Kinote laughed, Isa then smiled.

"Kinote," Amya snapped and glared at him.

"Uh, love you, mom," Kinote replied and bit his lip hoping she wouldn't scold him.

"But he is right," Isa laughed and looked at Zenitsu.

"Alright then, I'm gonna go, have fun with that," Amya disappeared.

"You okay, Zenitsu?" Kinote chuckled.

"Well, now I have to keep my mouth shut," Zenitsu mumbled.

"Alright you guys," Isa laughed. "Lets go to bed."

"Goodnight," Tanjiro replied before walking to his spot.

"Night," Zenitsu replied quickly and walked away.

"Good night, Inosuke, love you," Isa smiled as Inosuke started walking away.
