homura (DarkMudkip/Jikkah)

Ebisu felt her ribs crack when he kicked her in the ribs, grinding her teeth together to stop her cry of pain from escaping.
 
Ebisu gasped in pain as her shoulder was pulled from its socket, shaking slightly, but she still refused to give up any information.
 
Ebisu hung where the fabrics kept her suspended, blood dripping from her mouth, head hung as her vision faded in and out.
 
Ebisu laughed in her semi-unconscious state. “That’s something you could never accomplish even if you tried..” She muttered.
 
"Try me. I'm a government official. All I have to do is say they were going against the government and they'll be executed." He said.
 
Ebisu managed to pick her head up, grinning at him with blood covered teeth. “I really would like to see you execute the dead… Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.”
 
He was actually taken aback by that before he became even angrier with her. He kicked her knee in before leaving through the tunnel before the sun rose and he was trapped.
 
Ebisu let out a wail of agony, seeing white. After a moment, she could tell her leg wasn’t broken, but her knee was dislocated.
 
When she had the chamce to look at her surroundings, she could see various women in patches of the webbing of sash. And in the farthest fold, she could see Akatsuru.
 
“Akatsuru..!” Ebisu called out to her, pulling weakly on the cloth, but got no answer.
“Don’t bother, she can’t hear you.” Ebisu scowled at the voice, finding the same eyes and mouth watching her before she was slowly sucked into the cloth herself. “Just be quiet and wait your turn.”
 
She hoped Tengen, Suma, Makio, and Hinatsuru could help her and Akatsuru get out of this. Things escalated way too quickly for her liking, and unless she was found, there was no way she could help Tengen.
 
Ebisu was swallowed up by the fabric and her world went dark, she could only hope that Tengen would be arriving soon.
 
She was in a cold blanket of darkness for what only felt like a minute before she felt herself being pulled from it.
"Oi. Oi!" When she opened her eyes, she was face to face with a boar face, "Wake up, this is no time to sleep!!"
 
Ebisu sat on the ground, staring back at what looked to be a boar demon of some kind, but after a moment she noticed it was only a mask. “You’re..” She noticed the Slayer uniform pants and felt instant relief. “You’re a Slayer..” She looked behind him and say Tengen and his wives talking a ways away.
 
At least it was Suma and Makio, who were beaten and bruised. When did that happen? How long had she been trapped? His wives hadn't even arrived yet when Yoshinori captured her.
"Ebisu." Tengen turned to her and grinned as he moved toward her, "I'm glad you're alive. It would have been a rather boring death, to die like that." Around them were the unconscious forms of all the young women Warabihime had planned to consume, Akatsuru laying against the far wall
 
Ebisu took a moment to tear her eyes away from Akatsuru, beyond relieved that she was alive, looking to Tengen and letting out a soft sigh. “It would’ve been pretty embarrassing yeah.” To be consumed by a demon while hunting it, what a shameful death. “I can still fight, I just have a few dislocations I need help setting.”
 
He frowned softly, "Hinatsuru is not up to much right now, or she would help you best." He said before turning to Suma and Makio, "Suma, help her out, yeah?"
 
Suma perked and moved over. “Let me see.” She said and crouched in front of Ebisu, frowning at her wounds. “Are you sure you want to keep going with such wounds?” She asked, moving to help set her arm first. Ebisu let out a grunt of pain as her arm was put back into place, but nodded. “Yeah, I can still fight, so I’m going.”
 
"That's what I like to hear." Tengen smiled, "You did a good job, toughing it out for as long as you have. Could have been a little more flashy, but that's alright."
 
“I think what I did was flashy enough.” She mumbled, letting out a noise of pain as Suma set her leg then wrapped it.
