Chapter 9

Tanjiro:"Stop!" He says dashing towards Inoske

Tanjiro:"Aren't you in the demon slayer corps?!, don't you understand why Zenitsu hasn't drawn his sword , a demon slayer corps member can only draw their weapon in combat!, do you really get into deadly fights just for fun?!"

Inoske:"Hahaha! is that your problem? fine! ,we'll fight barehanded then!"

Haku:'he's a complete psycho' He says as he put Kiyoshi on the ground

Haku as he is still in inside the house struggles to open his umbrella with what has regenerated of his hand

Tanjiro:"I don't think you understand at all, it's bad for the corps members to fight each other at all , it doesn't matter if it's barehanded!"

Inoske then attacks Tanjiro and as Tanjiro was dodging and trying to counterattack

Kiyoshi:"Aren't you going to help him"

Haku:"Just wait a sec" he says struggling to get the umbrella open without his handless arm being seen

Inoske:"Do you have a problem with my face"

hearing that Haku turned around and saw what's under the boar mask

Haku:"Huh? a..girl...face..guy...boar, what exactly is he"

he asked still stuck inside

Tanjiro:"I have no problem with your face! , it's small and fair and i think it's fine!"

*after seconds of arguing*

Inoske:"listen forehead dude, I'll tell you who i am ,my name's Inoske hashibira! remember it!"

Tanjiro:"how do you write that!"

Inoske:"Write?! i can't read or write ,my name's written on my waistband thoug_"

Inoske stopped then fell unconscious

Haku:"eh? he..passed out?"

Zenitsu:"AHH! he collapsed! is he dead? is he dead?"

Tanjiro:"He isn't dead but he probably has a concussion, i gave him a pretty strong headbutt"

Haku:'What?!, what is his forehead made out of?! , What kind of bones does he have well that doesn't matter right now'

Haku:"T-tanjiro can you come here for a second"

Tanjiro:"Eh? why?"

Haku:"I need your help with something"

Tanjiro:"..sure"

then Tanjiro enters the house again and him and Haku go in a bit deeper where no one can see them

Haku:"C-can you o-open my umbrella f-for me" he says slightly embarrassed while showing his nearly handless arm

Tanjiro:"Of course"

Haku:"Th-thanks" he says embarrassed

Tanjiro:"No problem"

Zenitsu and the 3 kids were watching this exchange wondering why he asked Tanjiro to open the umbrella and as the 2 were going back outside the other 4 got out quickly

later after burying some of the dead bodies Inoske finally woke up

Zenitsu:"He's back up!"

Haku:"Damn it , the stupid boar is awake, Tanjiro , can you headbutt him again"

Tanjiro:"Eh?"

Inoske :"come on ! bring it!" he says dashing towards Haku

Haku stepped away from Inoske's trajectory

Inoske:"What are you guys doing?!"

Tanjiro:"Laying a body to rest, inoske help us , there is still a dead body in that mansion"

Inoske:"What's the point of burying a living thing's corpse?! i won't do it! fight me instead! " he says angrily

Haku:'What the hell is wrong with him'

Tanjiro:"Oh, i see... your wounds are painful, so you can't help it"

Inoske:"Huh?" he says angrily

Haku:"*Chokes on air*"

Tanjiro:"That's all right,each person's pain threshold is different"

Haku:'I can't tell if he's serious or not'

Tanjiro:"Carrying dead people out of the mansion , digging a hole and burying them is really hard, but I'll work hard with Zenitsu and these kids , Haku is injured so he can't help, so you can just rest Inoske"

''he doesn't get it''' thought Kiyoshi and shoichi

Inoske:"Huuuh?! don't mock me ,i can bury a hundred people two hundred ,more then anyone"

Haku:"That is usually not something one brags about"

Inoske:"Eh? who are you?!"

Haku:"Name's Haku Fuma"

Inoske:" shut up Hafafuku kumaku"

Haku:"i don't know if I'm supposed to be impressed , surprised or angry at how badly you just said my name"

*after the burial*

Zenitsu was now clinging onto shoichi claiming that he was strong until Tanjiro smacked him ,then a crow came and gave Kiyoshi a scented bag of wisteria flower, and after they parted the 4 began descending the mountain

Crow:"Kaw , come with me" he says as Inoske rams into another tree

Tanjiro:"Did you grow up in the mountains too inoske?"

Inoske:"I'm nothing like you, i have parents! siblings too, my only pleasure is to match my strength against others"

Tanjiro:"Oh"he says shedding a tear

Haku:"well i grew up everywhere but home , it was terrible" he says also shedding a tear

Tanjiro:"What do you mean?" he asked Haku

Haku:"don't wanna go into details"

Tanjiro:"Wh_"

Inoske:"Hey you! when i see an opening in you I'm gonna take you down"

Tanjiro:"I'm Tanjiro Kamado!"

Inoske:"Okay Gonbachiro Kamaboko, I'm gonna beat you"

and as Tanjiro and Inoske were arguing Haku was silently thanking Inoske for changing the topic of the conversation

then as they reached a house with the wisteria flower crest on it

crow:"Kaaw! rest rest! , rest until your fully heal"
