Tale of the Last Demon Slayer

Chapter 12

HATORI’S POV

“These are weak man eating demons who don’t have a control on their mind. They salivate whenever they see food or blood, Hatori. They can only think of human as food.” Akuma said behind me.

“Akuma gramps, what should we do then?” I asked while my knees re trembling in fear.

“You don’t have a choice but to fight for your live, Kid. If you want to find your sister, start with these bastard. Do understand what I’m saying, brat?”

“What? I think we should run for our lives, Gramps.”

“Fool, you can’t run from demon.” He yelled at me.

“Oi! Oi!” The demon in front of me called. “Food shouldn’t talk.” Food? He’s referring to me?

“Hey, demon. Tell me where I can find my sister!?” I exclaimed and pointed my axe to it. The demon just grinned.

“Sister? Where did we bring your sister? Hahahaha! You can ask her if ever she is in my tummy.” The demons replied while licking his dirty mouth. “I love young maiden, they are still young, tasty and delicious. Do you want to look around my stomach, Kid? Come here I will bring you in>” he continues to laugh and salivate. It’s scent is unfamiliar and I know for a fact that these demons with us now are not the one who came from our house. They have different scents and I am certain that none of them a attacked my family.

“Look what we got here, another demon.” This time the demon before Akuma is the one who said those words. “Hey, buddy. You need to share your food to us.”

“Shut up, lowly demons. This brat is not my food and this one is not tasty. He’s annoying and I’m pretty sure he’ll taste terrible. GO! Get lost.” My eyes widened when Akuma bad mouthed me in front of other demons.

“You are annoying! Hey Gramps, that’s foul.” I said.

“shut up, Fool. I’m trying to save your stupid ass here.”

“Hey, hey! Just hand over the food, buddy.” The demon in front of me sad in the middle of our conversation.

“I’m not talking to you!” Akuma and I said in unison. The demon was shocked and surprised hen we shouted at him. He’s eyes went teary and acted like he is hurt, he’s about to cry when the other demon suddenly attacked both Akuma and me.

“Both of you are annoying and you guys talked to much! Meals are supposed to scream in fear not talk back!!” then t growled. Akuma slammed him on the ground and I hid behind him.

I am hiding at his back when suddenly a sharp thing grab my shoulder. It immediately bleeds and I came to smell my own blood. s**t! The demon picked me up like I’m something to carry o his bare hands. Since both of them are bigger than Akuma I felt like I’m in a very high place and if ever it will drop me on the ground my bones might be broken into pieces.

“My strength is still not coming back, Hatori because I’ve been asleep for several years.” Akuma said while fighting the other one, he’s punches are futile and it seems like these demons are stronger than him. I didn’t actually get the point of what he said but I don’t have time ask him or argue with.

All I can think of right now is I can’t die here yet. I still need to find my sister. I swayed my body towards the demon which is grabbing my shoulder. My wounds are aching but I can’t worry about it. I hit it’s arm which is currently on my shoulders, blood is continuously running from there to my chest and it’s even dropping on to the ground. I hit it’s wrist repeatedly unlit I was able to cut it with my axe. I manage to land on the ground without breaking my bone or losing my balance but I barely made it. I lost a lot of blood and it’s making me dizzy. The demon attacked me without hesitation when I landed on the ground. It’s growling very loud because of pain and anger.
