Chapter 25

"Wait what?" Inosuke snapped.

"Why would she leave?" Zenitsu asked.

"She didn't say," Kinote sighed.

"But," Inosuke sighed with slight sadness. "She, I." Silence filled the area as everyone stood in disbelief. Tanjiro looked at Kinote.

"You sure she left?" Tanjiro questioned.

"I, she has been gone for a while, how strong is her scent?" Kinote replied.

"No, her scent has faded," Tanjiro sighed. "It's weird like her scent seems blocked as well."

"Wait, was she kidnaped?" Inosuke snapped and glanced at Kinote and looked at Tanjiro. "Is there an extra scent?"

"No," Tanjiro answered.

"We need to find her, she wouldn't just leave like that," Inosuke snapped and was about to walk off.

"Inosuke wait, we don't know which way she went," Tanjiro pointed out.

"Aww he does care," Isa whispered to Kinote.

"What was that?" Zenitsu looked at Kinote.

"What was what?" Kinote played off confused.

"I heard something," Zenitsu got closer to Kinote. "It came from where you are."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kinote replied.

"Um, Kinote, t-there's a spider on your shoulder," Zenitsu then stepped back.

"Oh," Kinote then brought his hand up to his shoulder and Isa crawled onto his hand. "She's a sneaky one ain't she."

"It's a girl?" Zenitsu questioned.

"Yeah, she's cute ain't she, jumping spiders are the cutest spiders," Kinote smirked and lightly blushed. "Foxes are my favorite animals." Isa then turned and jumped onto Kinote's nose.

"Um?" Zenitsu wondered. "You're okay with it jumping on your face."

"I guess," Kinote replied and then started laughing lightly.

"What's funny?" Inosuke snapped.

"She's tickling my nose," Kinote laughed.

"Tickle, tickle," Isa whispered jokingly and kept tickling Kinote's nose.

"That's weird," Zenizsu replied.

"What's weird?" Tanjiro asked.

"I keep hearing what sounds like a small, tiny light voice," Zenitsu stated in confusion.

"What's it saying?" Inosuke asked.

"Die you silly fool," Isa whispered.

"It said die you silly fool," Zenitsu repeated.
