24. "Dead Calm."

3rd Person's POV


Kyoza who saw the fight, noticed the Satoshi and Kanae nodding to each other. He then started clapping his hands gaining their attention and said, "Hey you two, plotting some plan?"
The two remained silent, and in an instant, Satoshi vanished and appeared in front of the kizuki. He then headbutted the demon, and the demon was sent a few feet away. Before he could regain his composure, he was kicked right in the face by Kanae. Satoshi then ducked under the demon and delivered an uppercut to the chin of the demon. The demon grunted a bit. He was kicked right in the face again by Kanae and Satoshi tackled him to the ground. He then grabbed a nearby rock and started smashing it rapidly in the demon's face. He then jumped back because he couldn't take such a big risk of fighting a kizuki without his katana. Kyoza's head was bleeding, but it was already healed. He then started standing up and approached the two slowly. His face was popping out with veins and you could tell that he was pissed.


"It's been so long since I didn't get this mad. Thank you, you two for making me this mad. NOW YOU CAN DIE!"
The demon stated clearly mad. He then extended his hands in his sides.
"BLOOD DEMON ART : FLINGING SHATTERING CRYSTALS!!
Kyoza created two glass spheres, the size of a football in both of his hands. He then did a gesture and the spheres shattered.
He then got into a position to fling those shattered crystals.


[AN : It's similar to the Beast Titan throwing boulders. U will know what I m saying if u have watched AOT.]


Satoshi knew what the demon was gonna do, so before the demon could throw those shattered crystals to them, he dashed towards Kyoza and gave a spear like move to his guts and tackled him into the ground. He then started punching the demon rapidly in his face with his bare fists. Kanae was willing to help but Satoshi was not allowing her to. As he was punching the demon, he git kicked right in his guts and was sent flying backwards. He landed next to Kanae and grunted a bit. Kyoza slowly stood up and the face he had was pure rage. He was really mad. He chanted something to himself, and all of a sudden, vines made of those crystals started coming out of the ground and trapped Satoshi and Kanae.


Satoshi's POV


Kanae and I were not fast enough to react to the vines popping out from the ground, and because of that, we were trapped by the vines. Both of my hands and legs were wrapped by the vines. I then looked at Kanae, and she had vines wrapping around her waist, both arms and legs. I didn't say anything and started trying to free myself. The vines were much stronger than usual vines since they were made of the crystals.


As I struggling to free myself, I caught a very familiar scent coming towards us from behind. When I looked behind, I saw a figure running towards us. He then jumped up and cut all the vines trapping us and freed us. When the figure landed in the front of us, I widened my eyes in shock. This man had long black hair, he wears a haori consisting of two patterns. One half was all red and the other half was patterned with green and yellow colors. He was wearing a traditional male demon slayer uniform and he had a katana which was blue and it had the mark, "DESTROY DEMONS." He was still facing away from us. "Giyu, it's been a long time!" I said with a shocked voice.
He then turned around, gave us a small smile and said, " Yeah, it's been a long time, and sorry for being late. You guys can leave the rest to me now."
I nodded and said, "I believe in you Giyu." Kanae was confused on what was going on, so she asked, "Satoshi-kun, who is he?" Before I could reply, the demon shouted, "Are you guys ignoring me!? And the one with mismatched haori, who are you?"
Giyu didn't reply at all. This triggered the demon and he started using his blood demon art. Giyu wasn't panicking at all. He was DEAD CALM.


"BLOOD DEMON ART: FLINGING SHATTERING CRYSTALS!"
He created two football sized crystals in his hands and shattered them. He then threw it with full force towards us.
Seeing the incoming attack, Giyu got ready. "WATER BREATHING : ELEVENTH FORM : DEAD CALM."



He said calmly and cut all the incoming attacks with super human speed. It was so fast that a normal human being wouldn't see his hands move.


Both Kanae and I were shocked seeing this, because water breathing has 10 forms and he just used an 11th form.
The demon also showed a shock face. Before he could say anything,
"Water Breathing : Third Form : Flowing Dance." Giyu used the third form and cut the demon into 4 pieces. He then slowly turned into ash.


He then approached us  and asked, "Are you guys fine?"
I replied, "We are fine. Thank you very much, Giyu." I bowed down. He instantly pulled me up and said, "No need to thank me, Satoshi. Anyways, who is she?" He asked while looking towards Kanae. She replied, "I m Kanae Kocho. And thank you very much for saving us."


"As I have said, no need to thank me. And I m Giyu Tomioka. Nice to meet you, Kocho-San."


"Hey Giyu, I thought there were only 10 forms of water breathing, but you just used an 11th form. Did you create it by yourself?" I asked him as I was curious.


He replied, "Yeah, I created it. It took me 4 years to master it. It's called 'Dead Calm', but I can't use it that often. My body takes a very heavy toll  from using it, so if I use it more than once in a day, my heart will be stopped and I will die." He said the last part with a chuckle. "Anyways, we should head back."


"Yeah, let's go."


We talked a lot along the way. Kanae was also getting along with Giyu. After walking for around 40 minutes, we finally reached the Butterfly Mansion. Giyu was about to take his leave but I stopped him and told him to spend the night in the mansion. He was hesitant, but with some insisting from me and Kanae, he agreed.
