Kimetsu No Yaiba: Cannibal Corps

It's been three days since I began the attempts to remake my fans and it's mostly ended in failure. The pieces were either too heavy or not strong enough. So far, I've been practicing with my fire to make it even hotter than it is or make it bigger to gain a better understanding of what I'm capable of.

As always, I'm staying awake at night with minimal options of relaxation. I've eaten a ton of food and drank a lot of water to quickly regain the lost energy making the failed fan parts. I would complain about it being fuckin' annoying, but that's just the process of practice. It doesn't help that I'm working without much help from demons so I can't get an insiders tip.

Unfortunately, I don't get tired often so I'm stuck lying awake all night. I'm alone, at night, with nothing to do but stare at the ceiling for hours on end. My own doubts began to gain voices in my head... That's normal. Maybe I wasn't as confident as I am now before the... I'm just going to stop mentioning the amnesia. At this point, I'm just reminding myself of it and just really twisting the knife.

These past few days have been nothing but mondaine routine. I haven't been able to hangout with Fluttershy at all despite her being my best friend... Dash is a close second. Maybe I should start a journal so I have something to do at night or to at least drought down important details. I'll wait till I can buy a phone and do that so I can save all that info. Maybe I'm just trying to justify getting a phone.

I just wish the internet existed so I could at least watch some videos. Maybe a movie or two on some website. All things considered, it could be worse, I could be out on the streets being chased by Demon Slayers. Then again, with my speed, I bet I could out run them. Sounds like fun. Wait, no. I can't get overzealous, one wrong move and I'll die. It's best that I stay in the school's grounds.

It couldn't get more boring than this. I'm tempted to find Kanae-Chan and hangout with her for the rest of the night. That's if she's awake, which she normally is, but I don't want to disturb her at 10 PM. The sun rise at 6 AM so I best buckle down for a long night.

Wait, hold on. That pungent smell... What is it? I smelled it before and I can easily recognize it, but I can't recall from where. Come on, think! Where have I smelled that before. Oh, the six eyed demon had the same smell, but why does he smell so horrible. There was at least a pleasant aroma that accompanied that horrible smell. Whatever it is, I'm going to get rid of it.

I ran out my room at full speed until I reached the stairs. I don't know if it's me or these stairs, but I almost always fall down them without fail. It fucking sucks. So I was being as careful as possible when getting down them. It didn't help that the smell got even worse as time went on. It was almost unbearable to the point that I was willing to fall down them to get down fast... Almost.

After the stairs ordeal, I started running to the smell. Good thing was that it was on campus so I wouldn't have to break the rules this time. Bad part was that it was getting even worse as time went on. Maybe the reason I didn't question the smell when I met that demon was because I was panicking. It was such a disgusting smell that I felt like I was going to throw up. It's so fucking bad and unbearable that I'm questioning if burning it is too much.

"What the hell!" I yelled as my anger grew. All I knew was that I wasn't breathing in when I was speaking. A definite plus for me. "Who the hell leaves these damn smells everywhere?! It's so putrid and rude to everyone here! Come on, do some fucking jokers think this is funny?!" I yelled, again, to myself to not smell that shit. So gross.

I was coming up on the smell and I was relieved that I was so close. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to burn it. I rounded the corner where the smell was at and lit a fire in my hand.

"Finally! Time to burn this son of a... Holy shit." Lying right where the smell was a dead body. Specifically one of the people on the stage during orientation. Almost half of her body was gone with clear evidence of it being devoured. I covered my nose as I started at this cadaver in shock. I looked over the body once more and found bite marks on her neck; all were various sizes. Five different bite marks in total. "I... I have to find Kanae-Chan!"

I ran in the opposite direction of the body. My thoughts were racing a mile a minute as I ran through the campus in a frantic sprint. I was terrified of the body, my mind forgot the smell immediately after running away. I was scared and I didn't know what to do, but I know what did it.

It had to be demons. They're the only ones that have the ability to do this and bite marks had the fangs in the same position as where mine are. If I didn't do anything now, people would point fingers at me and I'll take the blame. I'll be tried for murder and devouring and sentence to death by sun. I don't want to die... I can't die! I have to tell Kanae-Chan; I have to tell somebody!

"Leaving so soon?" My running was stopped by a voice after something made me fall. My legs were kicked out from under me and my hands were bent behind my back. I tried to scream, to hell if anyone found the body. It was anticipated as another creature covered my mouth. I couldn't be any more scared. To hell with that, I was terrified. "No yelling!" This voice was definitely the leader. I could just tell.

"Don't hurt him or that guy will have our heads!" Wait, were my senses wrong? Fuck, this is only going to make things worse. I struggled as hard as I could to no avail. I ended up stopping after I accidentally broke my arm. My screams were muffled by the creator covering my mouth. These had to be the demons that broke in. Damn it, I can't escape.

"He said if we hurt him, but he hurt himself. Would he spare us if he did that to himself?" A third voice spoke up. Damnit, I'm so fuck! Three on one and it only takes one to take me out. I'm screwed!

Wait... There's three here, where are the other two?! Do they know about Kanae-Chan?! No, no, no, they can't get to her! If she dies then this school looses their only protection against demons! Come on, think! There has to be something I can do, there just has to be!

What the hell can I do?! My claws are the only way to damage them permanently and I can't use them! My flames! I can use those!

I lit my hands on fire and tried to grab my kidnappers. That only resulted in my other arm being broken. I screamed into the hand of the second demon as I writhed in pain and agony. "No you don't you little shit. You're not getting me with that." The demon holding my arms said. Tears began to leak from my eyes as I stopped resisting.

"Damnit Blue, I told you not to hurt him!" The lead said to the demon named Blue. I could accurately guess that Blue was the one holding my arms and subsequently breaking them.

"Does it really matter Cat, he'll regenerate. We always do." The one on my back shot back as I opened my eyes to get a look at the group, but they were all out of my sight.

"He's the only first gen Cannibal. His regeneration is limited unlike the other or us." My eyes widened at that. They just confirmed my greatest fear. If I take enough damage then I'll die. Oh shit. I'm going to die.

I have to think. I have to get away or I'm dead. My only option is fire, but if I use it again then I'll have my arms broken again. No doubt these demons faced other creatures and have been hurt plenty of times, so they have a higher tolerance of pain than me. That would rule out making a larger flame to engulf these guys.

I don't have to kill them, I just need to make it to Kanae-Chan. Wait... No I can't. If I do that then it'll mean there's five on two; one since I don't know what I'm capable of yet. I have to hold them off until sunrise and them I can get to her without risking her safety.

They'll probably run away at the first sight of the sun which makes things a lot easier. I have to think fast so I don't waste any time and give them a chance to move in on her. Two were sent after her and she was a professional Demon Slayer which gives me a little wiggle room so I won't have to worry about her. If anything I'll be a burden if I run to her. These guys want me alive so they can't kill me.

I carefully though about my abilities and what would happen based on the information provided. Fire is out for obvious reasons and yelling is dumb. No point in alerting anyone if no one but Kanae-Chan can kill them... I have an idea, but I don't like it.

What I'm about to do is stupid and idiotic, but I'm out of options. "I told you to bring the rope!" Blue yelled.

"I did, but then someone decided to tie up that woman before eating her. Now we don't have a rope because that dumbass bit through it." The one covering my mouth shot back as I moved my very broken arms around.

"Alright, come on. We all know it was me, you don't need to rub it in my face." Cat said plainly before I began my stupid plan.

I bit the hand on the guy covering my mouth until it went through their finger. They yelled in pain before retracting their hand away. It doesn't matter who you are, there's a very large amount of touch sensitive nerves in your hand. It's why you check for fires with the back instead of the front. It'll cause a massive amount of pain no matter who or what you are because of those nerves.

This next part was a bitch. I was going to get hurt one way or another; even if my plan didn't involve self harm. I moved my arms as far as I could away from the demon's grip until they broke. He squeezed harder, but my plan would only benefit from that. With a gut wrenching rip, my muscle and skin ripped apart. Just like that, my arms were free and I kicked the demon in the jaw.

I laced upper body strength despite my incredible speed. Unfortunately for them, speed means grater lower body strength and – intern – a stronger kick. The demon literally flew away after taking that hit. He didn't know what hit him.

Finally, I twisted my body after lifting off the ground and kicked the last demon. He only recoiled because he was too close to me to get the full force. Because of that I was knocked away from him and gained significant distance between all of us.

No matter how you cut it, I'm significantly out my depth. They have more numbers and are better able to use their Blood Demon Arts unlike me. Fuck, I just realized that I showed my Blood Demon Art before they did so they know what I'm capable of. The most I know to do with it is just making a bigger flame.

I looked at my arms and found that I was subconsciously using Blood Demon Art. My severed limbs were slightly on fire. Can I use my Blood Demon Art on more than just my hands? I'll have to look into this later, but for now, my arms started to regrow faster than when it was burned by the sun. I'll keep than in mind while remembering that I have a limit; even if I don't know what that limit is.
