Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED]

41: You Are Sekido's Friend

♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

"Wait! Stop-Stop-Stop-Stop!" You cried, "Please-Please-Please! Stop it!"

"It's for your own good, (L/n)." Shinobu gives you a closed eye smile.

"No-Wait! Ta-Tanjiro!" You look over to the right at the redhead, "Tanjiro! Tanjiro, please! Please! Do something!"

Tanjiro steps back further away from you: "You know I can't."

"Kyojuro! Kyojuro, please!" You sob.

Kyojuro only gives the same blank look Tanjiro did: "We can't trust you to be loose. Please try to understand."

"You're making too much noise. It's scaring my girls," Shinobu speaks softly.

You look over to the left and see Kanao holding Aoi and the other girls. Aoi was looking at you with utter disgust.

Shinobu tightens the rope around your body that was keeping you bound to the chair. She gets a blindfold and tightly wraps them around your head to block your vision.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! PLEASE!" You were hyperventilating, "I WON'T HURT ANYONE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I PROMISE! PLEASE! LET ME GO!"

You had the blindfold on, but you can still see Shinobu's smile-no (F/n)'s smile-no, it was Tanjiro-wait, was it Zenitsu? Or Kyojuro? Or Uzui? Or maybe Inosuke?

"PLEASE! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! PLEA-"

"-You should quiet down," the voice was a mixture of different voices, male and female, whoever it was, they forcefully stuffed a gag into your mouth, "You might tear something."

It tasted like gasoline.

Then you feel the press of cold metal against your temple.

You scream against the gag so hard, you feel something tear apart.

——

"(Y/N)! WAKE UP!"

Your eyes shot open as you instinctively slap whatever was in front of you. However, your wrist was caught before you made contact.

You cry in panic at the restraint as you try to break free, pushing away whoever it was.

"NO! NO! NO! NO!" You sob pathetically as you finally break free, falling backwards off your bed.

You crawl away from the person, your back hitting against the wall. You blink away the tears-though they just kept falling anyway-and look up.

Standing by your bed, Sekido had his hand reached out towards you, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were behind him. Tanjiro and Zenitsu had tears in their eyes, Inosuke still had his mask on, so you couldn't read his expression.

But one thing was clear, they were all worried and scared.

You look around the room then down at your wrists and ankles.

Right, you weren't...

You shake your head, willing yourself to stop crying as fast as you can. It hurt your chest; it hurt your eyes, it gave you a headache.

Your breathing was still heavy, but it wasn't as fast anymore. A few more tears escaped, but that was it.

You look up at them and offer a weak smile before standing up on weak legs.
