Headless: Fear the Terror

'this is so wrong'

his gaze on you was lingering with a misty aura surrounding him. "would you keep quiet for a bit y/n,fix your eyes and look down idiot"

sarcastically your head bowed down from the branch you were standing and the sight was unpleasing...totally disgusting. you felt like throwing up on the creature standing below you two.

"Headless..." sighed sekiro with a firm grip of katana on his palm.

you were in confusion, utter confusion. how can a headless hear the words? he is headless alright? he can't even see you both. "s-sekiro,he can't even hear us and how in the world-" ,your sentence was intrueppted when a big palm covered your mouth. "ssh! he can sense us,not only sense but he might give us terror too.."

your brows furrowed on the word 'terror'. that word...you heard it before but don't know where. the much you know is when a person is inflicted upon terror is known to die and have read somewhere, that a group of men went to defeat a creature with terror infliction but are said that the swords and spikes did nothing.

'perhaps...this is the creature they were trying to defeat and explain upon?'

the palm on you was at last pulled up and a relieve that fresh air went in but the smell of corpses rotting was still hanging in the air. ew, disgustingly stingy and foul.

"now what?",you whispered in a shallow tone trying to keep low as possible. you both bent down making sure not to move a slight.

"now you observe.", you surprisingly laughed in an unbelievable way.

"me? obsereve? excuse me mister sekiro , if you're planning to defeat this headless all by yourself ,then you're wrong because I am also going down there with you",you folded your hands and turned your chin upwards as your final statement

sekiro just facepalms himself. 'what a stubborn women'

not wanting to have more conversation he jumps off the wood before taking a box out of nowhere,full of sparkling pink divine confetti. he took some of the confetti , tossing it from above over his head covering the blade in a glimish pink colour. he went on before saying," stay here and wait for me. I'll be here in no time and when you hear a reed whistle,that's a call from me that I need your help down there"

your anger boils. what does he thinks of himself? all by himself or a bodyguard of yours? 'keh,not so easily sekiro'

your shoulders shrugs and you have thought,no matter what...you are not going to help that man if he calls for it and nah uh , after arriving at mibu village you are going to farewell him. Ashina Castle shouldn't be much far from that village

seconds,minutes ,hours pass by. no sign of sekiro or his reed whistle. worriness takes over you. even though the man is rude,he is a human after all. a human just like you who will suffer the same pains as you in the future. you can't just ignore this concern of yours towards him.

you cleared your throat and slightly looked downwards again. it's still foggy and misty and looks kind of scary and yes! don't forget the headless lurking down there. poor sekiro,is it really that important to kill these awful creatures? what will he get out of murdering these? not money then what? and why?

is he okay?

terror,the word. he said the creature might possibly inflict terror upon others so what if sekiro..he..

is he alright?

that's that. your patience is finished because of so much worrying and without any further thinking you jumped from the firm branch and with a thud, you landed safely on the ground. of course, there was some brutal pain in thighs because of jump force but we should not complain about anything except your opponent and your blade if it is not so sharp. the ways of kunoichi are slightly different from that of shinobi but no less similar with each other.

the back of your hand was facing your face. mist and fogg totally covered most of the land. you can barely see your own self here but there were golden butterflies in some...pattern? maybe sekiro followed these butterflies and might have reached somewhere.

you planned of following the butterflies,they might lead some way to him. he should be here somewhere around the ways.

you heard male grunting noises and rushed to the direction hopefully finding sekiro and yes! thank goodness he is there but why is he holding his forehead with both hands- "sekiro! i am coming!",realization hit you and you sprinted towards the man kneeling with both the hands on his head with pain and terror.

"y-y/n..leave this place! Quick! no time to wast please. shit! why would I go for it even-argh!",he snapped you when you hold and ragged you on the ground mercilessly like a doll. little do you know , the headless behind stood uglier with a purple sword , swinging it around and trying to get a hit In a slow paced manner. the pink shine on his sword was gone...he ran out of divine confetti and terror inflicted him so damn rapidly that he didn't got even a time to dash the katana forward the headless creature.

"sekiro! move away!", you got up quick but you weren't able to run.you tried your best to walk fast but still it was so slow.

A trap! or trick of headless.

he used a trick to slow your paces down so that it would be easier for him to cut you both down with his swift flowly pattern of drawing blade.

you looked at back and saw the creature coming towards you without mercy. he strikes his sword gently with sadistic noises at your left and you doged,trying to avoid as much but alas got some bleeding. as you gazed up quickly his blade rushed through your head and you fell with a loud thud feeling a type of feeling.

you felt dazed up and your head was about to explode. when you looked back at the creature,he looked more scarier or maybe it was the effect of...Terror infliction! you thought and tried your best to stay back as far as you could. the body became cold and you were shivering just seeing the above part....the headless part. the terror was building up in you very rapidly.

with a sudden scream you looked back and you saw headless trying to touch your back but your eyes gloomed with brightness when you saw sekiro's dark golden orbs more likely of the starving wolves staring the headless from behind trying to attack him in quiet while the creature's focus was on you. you gulped as you saw him pointing his first finger pushing his lips in a manner of "shh...".

as fast as lightning he slashed his gleaming with pink confetti katana up again. the creatures surprised loses focus on you and turns back to face the man.

"Now y/n!",sekiro screams as you jump on that creature and burry your blade deep into the awful headless.

"DIE YOU CREEP!",and with a whoosh you take yours deadly katana out of it and jerked the blood off the sword.

headless just vanished with a purple smoke with screams of regretness. regretness of something you both which don't know.

your face was full of blood drops and splashes and your cloth was bloodbathed in red and white gooey stuff. your eyes widen and chest still whiny from a moment's execution.

sekiro looked at your left arm. it was blue with terror and bruised. he looked up again expecting the same reaction from you but the opposite happened.

"you have any idea how scared and worried i was!? with hours passing by, you not even calling me out for help blowing the reed whistle!?",spitting the blood off on ground you looked him again and started stating again , "heh,nice thing the forest had butterflies at least so that humans may not be lost like you. anyways,how is the headache? when i arrive you were barely speaking when i got here. what happened? terror?"

sekiro looked away from you,not trying to have any awed and adore feeling towards that you worried about him. he sure already felt full of stamina and health when you asked him out about his health but father...he must not forget the iron code.- "love,relationship,marriage...all of this is nothing but a cause of distraction for duties and i expect no less from my own",the memories come alive of his foster father who plucked him from the battlefields.

"can i get answer sekiro?",he hits realization when you wave a hand of yours over his eyes

"hm?yeah..i-i am alright. the village shouldn't be far from here...and maybe the mist of this forest is going to fade away soon",he turns his back on you and walks away but you come in between his way and he just stands there looking at you idle and without blinking.

"won't you tell me why the mist will fade away?",with one brow up you taunt on him while he just rolls his eyes back. "none of your business lady,your here with me that means some missions of mine are gonna be together. after all this is a deal hm? sharing each other's problems?",he smirks and pushes you back again leaving you with a confused looks. "we don't have much time y/n,follow me"

you just hiss in annoyance and follow him again stomping your feet at his back. 'geez,what a man..'
