Kimetsu No Yaiba: Cannibal Corps

I healed my arms and lit them on fire. My arms were completely fine despite them literally being hotter than normal fire. My goal was to just survive, but if I can kill one. It'll make the situation more manageable. I was planning to run as fast and as far as I could... I wasn't even able to take a step.

In an instant, one of them completely blind-sighted me and punched me as hard as they could; sending me through the wall of one of the buildings. It hurt like hell, but it put more distance between me and them. It wasn't intended on their end, but I now know that my speed might not be enough. That didn't stop me from running the first chance I got.

I swear I heard a bang after running down the halls of the school. It was pitch black, but I could see the general layout of the halls. Not gonna lie, with a demon with strength enhancement Blood Demon Art bursting through the walls; I was gaining an understandable fear of the dark as I watched arms punch through the wall to grab me. Fortunately, the two demons chasing me were a little too slow to actually gab me. I can't begin to understand how no one was hearing this.

Unfortunately, they managed to corner me. I was tempted to jump out the window, but I managed to run up four flights of stairs. In all honesty, I wasn't too sure since I had tunnel vision. For all I knew, I could've entered an open area in the school and jumped to the third floor. I could have also always been on the third floor after getting punched. It's really unclear what happened. However, that doesn't matter as the demon behind me caught up burst through the wall while the other made more arms extended from his limbs.

I light my arms on fire and coated my body in flames. Even if they punch me, they'd still get hurt from the fire. It sucked that my clothes burned, but it was worth the sacrifice if it worked as intended. My flames illuminated the hallway around us, my sense of smell was greatly diminished as the fire seemed to resemble that of a gas fire. I hated that I can't rely on my smell anymore, but it's better than nothing.

The stronger demon, a cat, opened his arms the act as a wall. His fur and skin turned metallic as he seemed to increase the iron in his blood. It's honestly an amazing Blood Demon Art although it seemed rather simple and more based in biology. Are Blood Demon Arts really that flexible that we can create our own or is it something that just comes natural.

The other demon, a kind of bull, thrust his arms towards me before filling the hall with extending appendages aimed at me. I didn't think that he'd be capable of this. This is completely insane. I needed to think of something quick or I could lose. Whoever wants me is also after Kanae-Chan, so I have to at least survive, but I'm in an incredibly bad position to do that.

I had a crazy idea, but if it works then I won't have to worry about the hands. It was dumb, risky, and could even hurt me in the process. I followed his example and threw my arm towards him and put more power behind my fire. An extremely powers blast of fire rushed threw the hall and to the arm demon. I couldn't see down the hall and did the same attack against the metallic demon. I ran away as fast as I could.

I burst out a window and fell towards the ground near my dorm. I looked back at the school and saw something perplexing. The building had no damage whatsoever. Not even the window I jumped through was broken. It didn't matter as I ran into my dorm's building and into my room. I can't hide in here even if I wanted to. To many lives will be endangered if I do that. I just changed into some clothes and jumped out the window. Their sent wasn't gone, but it wasn't close.

Fighting wasn't much of an option and avoiding them seemed to much more difficult than anticipated. Running seemed to be the only option if I'm in an open area. I still don't have a full understanding of my Blood Demon Art unlike the others.

I can't go inside or I'll be cornered once again. I looked back at the building to see it completely covered in a black fog. Not to mention I could only smell one demon. The two that were chasing me seemed to disappeared. I think that black fog has to do something with it.

I don't know what's happening, but I can use this to my advantage and get to Kanae-Chan. She may have already killed the demons attacking her. When I smell the ones after me once they come back to this realm... I'm panicking, I need to relax. Whatever happens next, I needed to get to Kanae-Chan and coordinate with her.

The sun was coming up, I didn't realize how much time passed. I've been trying to run away the entire time and never even looked at the moon or a clock. Either way, I have to stuck with my objective and get to Kanae-Chan.

Unfortunately, the sun was rising quick and I didn't have a lot of time. I looked back at the dorm building and saw that there was no longer a black mist surrounding it. The sun must've scared them away... Or maybe they're retreating for now. I couldn't think about that since I didn't have enough time to stop and think.

I got to the faculty building and, without even considering using the door, I jumped through Kanae-Chan's window. I felt glass and other small objects embed themselves into my arms before crashing to the floor. I was so relieved that I was inside. I hugged the wall closest to the broken window to not be in direct contact with the sun.

Finally, I had time to look around the room and at the adjacent wall was Kanae-Chan with a katana in hand. Between us was the corpse of a headless demon turning to ash. My suspicions were correct and I didn't like it. We were both being targeted; one was to be killed and the other captured.

For the first time in a while, I wanted to sleep. I was incredibly tired and this was the first time I had used this much energy. I just want to sleep until later and, for once, I was actually tired instead of bored. I closed my eyes after my exhaustion hit me and I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

"Ms.Kanae! We heard a noise and came into..." One of the faculty yelled as he burst into the room. Surprisingly, Kanae didn't wake up nor did her guest. Both were sleeping on the adjacent wall of the door; the headless corpse of a demon still deteriorating.

Kanae's unsheathed blade rested in a corner of her destroyed room. Several signs of battle damage lines the once beautiful walls while Kanae had a few minor injuries visible. Her kimono had cuts in a few places where injures lied beneath. All her wounds had stopped bleeding a while ago.

The kid beside her was definitely one that Kanae had been hanging out with for days. The teachers recognized him easily despite not actually seeing his face. He too had suffered some damage as a large bruise was on the side of his face. Parts of his kimono was covered in blood of still bleeding wounds. Miraculously, despite all the visible shattered bones, open gashes bleeding through his clothes, and burn marks were healing with incredible speed. My the time he was completely healed, only a minute or two passed.

None of the teachers knew the story about what happened the night before, but the corpse was found not too long after. No one was sent home since anyone and everyone was a suspect... But everyone was innocent. Unaware of the former Hashira and the demon, the Demon Slayer Corps was notified and a Hashira was sent to investigate the situation.

One demon was dead, but four more remained. For now, the two fighting them rested. Finally able to take a break after their fights. They didn't wake up until the next day; the same day the Hashira arrived.
