homura (DarkMudkip/Jikkah)

To never see her smile or hear her voice again ripped Enisu apart before filling her with an unquenchable rage. If Tengen didn't deal with this demon, she was sure to.
 
For all of her searching, she found nothing. Not a single thing. How was she supposed to just sit and wait? Her anxiety was overwhelming, and when the second night came since Akatsuru was missing, she was close to her breaking point of being able to stay calm.
 
She wasn't taking customers, which annoyed the madam. "You have to make up for what we lost with Akatsuru's cowardice."
Cowardice. That made Ebisu angrier.
As she sat in her room contemplating how to go forward with finding Akatsuru, her window opened and a hand slammed over her mouth.
"Scream and I'll just kill you." Yoshinori snarled, eyes sharp.
 
Ebisu went rigid, knowing exactly who is was. She obeyed, not trying to move or scream- what was he planning.
 
Ebisu hated being handled in such a manner by a demon, hated that she didn’t have her blade to take his head off- had he been the one to take Akatsuru? She kept silent in hopes that he had been the one to do so, knowing that she could still fight unarmed against him.
 
He took her to a secluded house and moved through a hole under the tatami, taking her down a long tunnel before he entered a darkened cave that was webbed in a near familiar fabric.
 
“Do you plan on eating me?” Ebisu had a hard time seeing what was around her, barely able to make out the colored cloth strung around them.
 
Ebisu grabbed the front of his clothes, planting her feet firmly into the ground and slamming him to the ground. She moved to drive her elbow into his face but was stopped quickly by the fabric in the room wrapping tightly around her entire body.
“Yoshinori, what are you doing here?” A voice echoed in the room.
 
“You know what she is, don’t you, you fool?” Ebisu glared, unable to move from where she was, mouth covered by the cloth. “She’s a slayer, and you brought her right to my food.”
 
Ebisu glared back at him, straining against the fabric around her, but found she couldn’t move at all.
“So? What are you going to do to fix this? She’s probably been sending word to other slayers, bringing them all down on our heads.”
 
"I-I...I had no idea..." He stammered, "I thought, maybe...she would help make you stronger..." Je sat up quickly, "I-I'll get information out of her! Make her tell us what she knows!"
 
Ebisu’s gaze cut through the demon before her, almost like she didn’t need a blade to hurt him.
“Fine, if anything leave her face, she may yet be decent looking enough to eat.” The belt said, making sure the slayer was held firmly in place for Yoshinori.
 
Yoshinori turner to Ebisu, making his way closer to her and moving the sash so she could speak.
"Have you sent word to any other slayer?"
 
Ebisu spat in his eye, glaring back at him with a nasty scowl. “Like it’d tell anything to a demon.”
 
Ebisu wheezed hard and coughed, but only glared back at Yoshinori. “Only a sniveling pathetic demon who desperately wants what he cannot have.”
 
Ebisu tasted blood in her coughs, laughing weakly to herself. “You wouldn’t know them.” She mocked.
 
"That doesn't matter!" He hissed, "Tell me, or I eat a piece of Akatsuru in front of you!" He would never, especially if Daki was so keen to eat her first, but if it got Ebisu talking?
 
Ebisu wasn’t an idiot, she knew that if Yoshinori could eat Akatsuru, he already would have, he wouldn’t have threatened it. She said nothing, knowing he had very little power in this situation.
