Chapter 26

"Um, why is the spider still doing that?" Inosuke sighed. "It's very annoying."

"Maybe I want to annoy you," Isa whispered. Zenitsu glanced at Inosuke and bit his lip.

"It just said maybe I want to annoy you," Zenitsu fretted.

"What?" Inosuke snapped. "What is saying that."

"I'm not afraid of you," Isa whispered.

"It just said I'm not afraid of you," Zenitsu gulped.

"Where is the voice coming from?" Tanjiro looked at the spider.

"We don't have time for the voice," Inosuke snapped, remembering Isa was missing. "We need to find Isa."

"I don't think you need to," Tanjiro smiled.

"Why?" Inosuke snapped.

"Isa can take care of herself," Tanjiro replied. "She doesn't need us." Isa then stopped tickling Kinote and looked at Tanjiro as Kinote smirked. They all then looked at Kinote.

"She stopped," Kinote smiled and walked over to Tanjiro.

"Can I take her," Tanjiro smirked.

"Sure," Kinote answered and lifted his hand and Isa climbed on it. "Here." Kinote then put his hand near Tanjiro's hand as Tanjiro lifted his hand and Isa climbed onto Tanjiro's hand.

"What are you doing?" Zenitsu questioned in confusion.

"Holding the spider," Tinjiro looked at Isa very closely and realized Isa was the spider when he caught her scent and realized it was a joke. "We don't need to look for Isa."

"Let me kill the other one." Isa whispered jokingly.

"The voice said let me kill the other one," Zenitsu repeated, confused.

"Oh, she likes you," Tanjiro chuckled as he put his hand up and Isa jumped onto Kinote and crawled onto his shoulder as Kinote blushed lightly.

"That's cool," Kinote breathed and put his hand up to his shoulder and Isa climbed onto his hand.

"Hey Kinote, you can't tell the gender of spiders can you?" Zenitsu questioned.

"Not really," KInote smirked.

"Flick me off," Isa then whispered.

"It just said flick me off," Zenitsu then looked at the spider and smirked.

Kinote then flicked his hand and Isa went flying. Isa then turned into a cat as she flew and twisted to land on her feet.
