Chapter 26

"I'm really lucky you're an earthbender, Inosuke!"

"Run faster, idiot!"
Inosuke suddenly stops, angry.
"...What kind of attitude is that?! Making me use my head... That's so unlike me!"
He turned toward the demon, readying his blades.

"We can't mess around, damnit!"
He charged right at the demon, and I nod quickly.

"Inosuke!"
He caught on and let me throw him into the air, jumping as high as he could.

His sword struck the demon, blade stuck in its arm.
"Curse you!"
He used the other sword to inflict as much damage as he could, pounding his sword into the demon's arm.

"Water Breathing. Seventh Form : Piercing Rain Drop!"
I charge at the demon, stabbing right in its chest, my sword now stuck deep into its rock-like flesh. It didn't work, but Inosuke's attack did! Slicing the arm of the demon clean off!

I get thrown back with my sword.
"Good job, Inosuke!"

"Hah! I slashed it! It's really simple! If you can't slash something with one sword, all you gotta do is pound it with another sword!"
He was proud of himself.

"I mean, look! I have two swords!"
He laughed, holding them above his head.
"I'm the almighty!"

Before we can continue our fight, the demon begins to run off, Inosuke and I chasing behind soon after.
"You think you can run away?! Hey! Come back here, demon!"

At some point, we managed to lose track, just running around to find it again, Inosuke angry as we bickered about it.

"How the hell did you lose it, M/N?!"

"It's dark out here, Inosuke! You turn every corner you can see like a madman!"

"WE HAVE A DEMON TO CHASE!"

"WE ONLY HAVE TWO EYES BETWEEN US, PIGHEAD!"

"Damn. That bastard... Where the hell did he go, dammit?"
He grumbled before dropping down, making me stop.

"What's wrong?! Is it your wounds?"

He got up again, struggling to do so.
"I told you, it doesn't hurt."

"Inosuke-"

"What doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt, damn it!"
He got back up.
"Now that it's come to this, I'll find it for sure!"
His foot stomped heavily on the ground, and he concentrated deeply, yelling again.

"There you are!"
He looked up, and we see the demon tremble, clinging to a tree-branch.
"You idiot piece of shit!"

"How high did it climb?!"
I'm surprised, honestly. It seems so scared.

"Tch! Throw me again!"
He now yelled at me, and I nod, but my attention is on the demon again hearing it growl and moan in pain.

Inosuke chuckled.
"Hah. I see. Trembling in fear at the sight of me, huh? Well, it's a little too late for that!"

I get up and grab his arm to hold him back.
"Inosuke... I have a bad feeling about this."
