章節 40: Chapter 38

As Kyoshi witnessed Muchiro's change in aura and demeanor he smirked. He activated his Kakugan and they dashed off towards each other.

Kyoshi launched the first attack and slashed towards Muchiro who parried to the left and slashed at Kyoshi's exposed neck.

Seeing this, Kyoshi dislocated his facet joints and let his head flop back; effectively dodging the slash. He reconnected his joints and sent a headbut towards Muchiro who leaned his head to the side.

He jumped back to get some room between them, but Kyoshi wasn't having it and dashed towards him. Their blades collided and the shockwave tore through trees.

"You're pretty strong in this state." Kyoshi said with a grin as he slashed towards Muchiro.

Blocking the slash, he pushed the sword upward before taking a deep breath and spinning around. Mist circled around him and Kyoshi leaned back as the cut he received healed quickly.

He ducked under another slash from Muchiro as he took a sharp breath.

'Moon Breathing; Eighth Form: 3rd Quarter'

Kyoshi quickly sprung upwards with a slash which Muchiro was able to dodge and Kyoshi followed it with a downward slash which was blocked.

Muchiro leaned to the right; dodging a slash from Kyoshi. Seeing his open neck, Muchiro took a sharp breath and slashed towards the opening.

'Mist Breathing; Forth Form: Flashing Haze'

With his Kakugan activated, Kyoshi saw the blade coming towards him and quickly turned around as he put his sword up to block it.

Seeing his attack fail, Muchiro didn't panic.

He leaned his blade back, making Kyoshi who was pushing lean forward and lose balance. He then gripped his hilt tighter and slightly shoved Kyoshi as his swung his sword.

The blade plunged its into Kyoshi's shoulder, but before he could continue cutting, Kyoshi punched him in the stomach which sent him flying into a tree a few meters away.

His grip on the sword was tight so it came out with him and the cut he made on Kyoshi healed. He tore off his haori which was practically destroyed and tossed it to the ground.

Muchiro wiped the blood from his lips and raised his sword as he prepared to attack again.

*COW*

Kyoshi glanced towards the sky and saw two crows flying.

"Hey."

He heard Muchiro on his right and sent out a slash in that direction, but hit nothing but mist. From the corner of his eye he saw Muchiro coming towards him with his sword placed at his shoulder.

'Too slow.' Kyoshi thought as he slashed towards Muchiro, only to hit mist.

This happened again and again as the whole forest seemed to be covered in a thick mist. Finally, Kyoshi got fed up and decided to end his little trick.

Kyoshi inhaled sharply and spun around as the air around him expanded away from him in a ring. The pressurized when cut through trees cleanly and quickly.

The mist was cleared out, but Kyoshi still didn't see Muchiro till he looked up and saw eight blades of mist coming towards him.

He backflipped away as the slash marks were embedded into the ground. Muchiro landed and immediately shot towards Kyoshi as he took a sharp breath.

'Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds & Haze'

Muchiro quickly unleashed a flurry of slashes as he pushed forward. Kyoshi parried the slashes with his own as he allowed himself to be pushed back.

Suddenly, he ducked under a slash from Muchiro and spun to the left as he breathed in.

'Seventh Form: 2nd Quarter'

His blade glided towards Muchiro's neck. Instinctively, Muchiro shot forward away from the slash and Kyoshi ran after him.

"Hm?" Kyoshi's ears perked up as he heard hastened footsteps headed towards him from the right. He glanced over and ducked as he jumped away.

"So you're the disgusting little thing everyone has been talking about?" Obinai Iguro, The Serpent Hashira asked.

"I guess. I assume you're not here to pitch me an offer?" Kyoshi asked with a grin.

Obanai glanced towards Muchiro and widened his eyes when he saw his DSM activated. Seeing that he was pushed so far that the mark was activated, Obanai immediately got serious.

"Obanai, he's really strong and fast. His reaction speed increased when his eyes changed and his regeneration is really strong. Don't hold back or you'll really die." Muchiro said calmly as his eyes were trained on Kyoshi.

"Mm." Obanai nodded his head as he raised his sword. He slid his foot forward and they both vanished.

Muchiro was the first to reach Kyoshi with his sword already coming down. Kyoshi parried the attack and slashed his sword towards Obanai who appeared at his side.

Obanai blocked the attack, but was sent flying back into a tree that fell down from the impact. Muchiro blocked the horizontal attack Kyoshi launched and pushed him back.

Kyoshi smirked and ducked as he took a sharp breath. The red veins on his sword pulsed as he slashed Obanai's back.

'Seventh Form: 2nd Quarter'

'Sixth Form: 1st Quarter'

After landing the attack, Kyoshi followed up with a downward slash, but Muchiro appeared and parried the attack before he sent a slash towards Kyoshi's chest.

Kyoshi blocked the attack and motioned the sword to the ground as he grinned.

Muchiro ducked and Kyoshi jumped into the air as Obanai missed his attack. Kyoshi softly landed in front of them and looked at Obanai coldly.

"You're really useless here." Kyoshi said.

"Honestly, you're just getting in the way. You aren't fast enough nor strong enough to do anything to me and your reaction time is too slow. Go ahead and activate the mark thing or is that something exclusive?"

Muchiro ignored Kyoshi. He knew that this mark activating met he'd die at 25 although it's not like he cared. But at the moment, he had to hurry up and win this battle.

He could already start to feel the side effects of having the mark activated for too long. Quickly he dashed forward.

Kyoshi smiled as they got back into action. They glided around the forest as trees fell everywhere from their fight. Obanai could barely keep up with their movements.

Being so useless in this situation frustrated him. Being told he's useless to his face was the first thing that got on his nerves. The next was when Kyoshi criticized his strength.

'I'm too weak?! All the training I put in compared to some disgusting thing that only has to eat to gain strength and I'm weak?!'

His grip on his blade tightened as veins could be seen bulging from his forehead and arms.

He dashed towards Kyoshi with clear hatred in his eyes. Some demon under Muzan's control had no right to call him weak.

Obanai had a goal in mind and crushing Kyoshi became his second task before killing Muzan so he could finally be worthy enough for Mitsuri.

As he slashed downwards towards Kyoshi, Muchiro prepared a thrusting attack. Kyoshi used one hand to parry Obanai's attack with his sword and with the other, he pushed off of Muchiro and jumped over him.

Once he was back on the ground he spun and kicked Obanai in his chest. He heard the sound of bones cracked, the air stalling in his lungs and his heart skip a beat.

Obanai's body was sent flying across the forest as he smashed through tree and tree before finally slamming into a nice sized boulder.

He laid there in a bloody mess. Blood from his nose, mouth, ears, and his back which hurt even more since there was already a slash mark with blood still flowing out.

He could barely take a proper breath and he felt if he moved his head even a little he'd choke on blood.

As he laid there he started hearing some groaning which kept increasing in volume. He felt a tug on his pants and glanced down as his eyes widened.

"Obanai—"

"Oba-"

"Join us."

He felt multiple things pulling him in all directions and as he saw them his heartbeat increased and as he started hyperventilating, he went into a coughing fit.

Choking on his own blood.

"Obanai, come with us—"

"We're family after all-."

The female voices kept speaking to him while he choked and after a while his body went limp and his heat beat stopped along with his breathing.

Obanai opened his eyes and raised up quickly as he gasped for air. He heard a slight yelp as he turned around and saw a girl with pink hair that faded into lime green at the tips.

The girl had big lime green eyes which looked at him in worry.

"Are you okay?" Mitsuri asked him.

"M-Mitsuri?" Obanai said in a questioning manner.

"What is it?" She asked as she grabbed his slightly shaking hands.

He looked at his hands and then looked at himself. He saw that he was in a blue kimono and after looking at Mitsuri again he realized she was in a pink Yukata.

"Where am I ?" He asked himself.

"What do mean? We're at home." Mitsuri answered.

She tilted her head and put her hand on his forehead as her eyes widened.

"How'd you get a fever?!" She asked as she quickly went to get up.

"Wait, Mitsuri!!"

Obanai grabbed her hand to halt her from moving as she looked back at him.

He looked at her speechlessly for a moment before taking a deep breath and clinching his hand into a fist.

"Mitsuri, I know this is probably just some sweet dream I'm having before I die, but I wanted to let you know that even if I'm not worthy of you, I still love you. Even if I couldn't kill Muzan and purify my disgusting blood, I still loved you. And even while I'm dying I can't get you out of my head." Obanai said.

He felt a soft sensation on his lips and he looked up towards Mitsuri who pulled away from him as he touched his face and noticed his bandages weren't there.

"I love you too idiot. That's why we got married." She said as she showed him the ring.

Obanai felt his heartbeat increasing rapidly as he tried to contain his happiness. His blood started pumping rapidly through his body as his heartbeat kept increasing.

Kyoshi and Muchiro were both caught in a deadlock, but Muchiro was obviously on the losing end. He was bleeding in multiple places and he was getting tired while Kyoshi was performing fine.

The grin on Kyoshi's face vanished as he ducked. He heard the sound of something whistling past him. As he ducked, Muchiro prepared a downward slash and Kyoshi quickly jumped back.

Midair, Obanai appeared and swung his sword at Kyoshi's neck with all of his strength. Kyoshi blocked the attack, but was sent flying to the left. He planted his feet into the ground to stop the sliding, but Muchiro appeared in front of him and quickly sent out eight blades of mist.

Quickly, Kyoshi jumped to the right to dodge the slashes and he was met with a slash from Obanai. He rolled to the right before he flipped himself upright.

From behind him and in front of him Muchiro and Obanai dashed forward for a final strike.

At this point, Kyoshi's anger was bouling over and he grabbed his blade and broke it in half to form another sword in his left hand.

Then in the blink of an eye he spun around and deflected both attacks that were headed towards him. He was getting that feeling again. His RC cells going into a frenzy while he got himself together.

"Let's make this the last round." He said seriously as his Kakugan shined.

Then they vanished.

**********************************************

Initially I didn't intend to drag this fight out, but meh. I wanted him to awaken his DBA in just the fight with Muchiro, but tbh Muchiro would just lose before he could awaken his DSM tbh.

Even then, I want Kyoshi to be oushed to the point where it's forced to awaken, do I just threw Obanai into the mix. I feel like this'll push him.

Also, he's past Daki now and once his DBA awakens he'll be stronger than the Upper Moon Rank 5: Gyokko
