I yelp as I get thrown to a wall. Shit, I underestimated this demon. He keeps laughing maniacally while his sand tingles around me, holding thight. I shove myself through it and pick up my sword again. He goes in for another attack and so do I. I can't keep just dodging. 

"Water Breathing, third form: Flowing Dance..", I whisper and swing my blade at the demon, rushing forward in a dancing motion and cutting the hardened sand spikes into pieces. 

I wonder how Sanemi is doing? Was he able to kill the other demon? 

That moment I'm not concentrated and the demon uses this opportunity to attack again. One of is hardened spikes stabs my leg and back, snapping me back to reality. I yelp again and stumble on my feet. 

Shit, I'm going to die if this continues like that.

The demon laughs again. "HAHAHAHA! AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A PILLAR!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? IF ALL OF YOU ARE SO WEAK I'LL BE A MOON IN NO TIME!", he screams, hurting my ears. 

I struggle getting up and grip my sword tight. He's just looking at me, tilting his head to the side and grinning mischievously. I breathe in and out trying to calm down. I need to be calm for this form. 

"Water Breathing, eleventh form.." I see my surroundings fading into a wild ocean. I close my eyes. "Dead Calm." The demon grunts. "Huh?" And that's the last thing he said. I rush forward and cut his head off in no time. 

As he came to realization, he's dying, he starts yelling. "YOU DAMN ASSHOLE! HOW DARE YOU CUT OFF MY HEAD! I SHOULD'VE FINISHED YOU OFF WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!", he screams and I fall on my knees. 

The demon started laughing while his body and head is slowly fading. "I might be dying, BUT ATLEAST I'M TAKING A HASHIRA WITH ME!" he yells and I glance up to see the sand on the ceiling crumble down. It starts to shake and and the demon keeps laughing. "Ugh.. shit it's gonna fall on me.." I mumble and look up again. 

"Seems like a lot of sand. I'll probably choke under it.." I state and take a deep breath. 

Whatever, they'll find a new water pillar in no time. 

So I close my eyes and wait for the sand to fall on me. Until I hear someone yell my name in the distance. I open my eyes again and look around. Nobody is here. I stand up. The demon is long gone now and the sand is starting to fall down. 

"OI! YOU DAMN SHITHEAD, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" I hear Shinazugawas voice shout. "Huh..?" I try walking to the sound of his yelling. "S-Shinazugawa?" I yell a little shaky. I lost a lot blood. If I really make it out of here, Kocho is going to kill and tease me at the same time. I grunt but Shinazugawas voice snappes me back. 

"ASSHOLE! KEEP YELLING BACK OR I'LL GO OUT WITHOUT YOU!" he shouts. I pokerface and yell something back. The sand still keeps falling down to which it already built a mountain of sand behind me. I can look outside but it's to high. Not even Kocho could jump that high and she's an insect. 

Suddenly the wall gets smashed and there's a big hole now. After the smoke clears, I see Shinazugawa step inside and he looks at me with a grin. "Damn, you really are hurt for someone who claims to be more superior than the rest of the hashira." He states amused.

"I never said that." I respond. "Shut up and let's get outta here." he growls back and I roll my eyes and get up. I use one of my stamina left and rush after him through the halls. In many of them the sand is soiled with blood and body parts.

Legs, feet, hands- heck even heades with eyes ripped out are laying on the ground. I pull myself together and look back forward. We're running at something that looks like the exit and it is. 

Just when we step out the whole playground falls into the hole, destroyed. "Seems like those fuckers had a whole playground as a trap for the kids. Tsk." Shinazugawa grumbles. "Let's go back, I can't stand being next to you any longer." he complains and sprints off. I cough and get up. 

Of course he doesn't care that I'm on the verge of death. Why would he? I'm just his soulmate, no one important.

I feel my cheeks burn again and shake my head violently, before rushing after the scarred male.

"Alright my children. Thank you both for the report. And please don't blame youself for not being able to safe the girl Tomioka. You two saved other lives from dying by the hands of those demons. You are dismissed." The master tells us with his usual soft smile and we get up. "Thank you master." we say, bowing and master goes back inside with the help of his daughters.

I turn to Shinazugawa. I want to talk to him about the red string. I need to. "Shinazugawa can we-" "Fuck off and don't bother nor talk to me." He coldly interruptes. "But-" "I SAID FUCK OFF!" he yells now turning to look at me. 

"I don't want to talk nor see your face or be your fucking soulmate, okay?! I don't need anyone and in any case not you! This, this is just bullshit!" he spats and points at the red string connecting our fingers. 

"That's fucking bullshit because I fucking hate you okay!? And don't think just because I was a little nice at the mission, I will automatically like you! You don't give a fuck about us and I don't giva a fuck about you. Deal with it, because nothing will change my mind."

I look at him with pure shock. I'm holding back tears. I don't know if he can see that but by his expression he either doesn't or sees it but doesn't care about it. That hurt. That hurt like hell. It's even worse to all the years of Kochos bullying. 

I bite my lip and look down, trying to keep a straight look. "Okay.. I won't bother nor talk to you anymore. Sorry." I promise and turn around to leave.
