"Hurry up idiots!"
I usher the boys past me as the train starts to depart. The police screams echo after us as we run away and the horn of the train rings while steam mixes with the air. The people in the station watch us with scared and concerned expressions as Inosuke begins to jeer the police, not following my requests.
"BOLD OF YOU TO CHALLENGE INOSUKE-SAMA!" He screams as he starts to run toward the police with his swords drawn.
I nod to Tanjiro and Zenitsu to tell them to go on without me and they nod back, before running toward the train. People scream as Inosuke begins to run through the crowds with his blades drawn, making me facepalm and grit my teeth while a tick mark forms on my forehead.
As the police start to surround Inosuke, I appear behind him, put him on my shoulder, like a sack of potatoes, and appear beside the other two boys who are already on the back end of the train.
The boys jump in surprise as I drop Inosuke on the floor with a thud, not bothering to do it gently. I rub my temples while one arm crosses over my chest as I sigh. Inosuke began to spout nonsense while the other two had wide eyes at my sudden appearance. "Now that we're all here, can we please continue with the mission?" I questioned with a loud exhale.
Inosuke stands up before he begins to walk through the train in front of us, swinging his arms like he's in a marching band. "Follow Inosuke-Sama!" I grumble incomprehensible words under my breath as Tanjiro places a comforting hand on my shoulder as he walks past me, making me sigh and follow them, making sure to apologize to everyone they disturb on their march through the train carts.
After a solid five minutes of the boys walking in front of me and my voice constantly apologizing for their loud nature, we heard a distant and muffled exclamation. "UMAI!" My brows furrow as I make my way in front of the boys and open the door to another cart, making the call much more audible and louder than before.
Once we approached the sound, we came face to face with the flame hashir- "UMAI!" He exclaimed, a large smile was on his face which was accompanied by bright shimmering eyes, which shone like the sun.
He was a young adult with a muscular-athletic body and a towering stature. He had long, bright yellow hair with red streaks that looked like flames, two shoulder-length and two chin-length side bangs, black forked eyebrows, and golden eyes that faded to red with white pupils.
He wore a brown gakuran jacket, a white belt around his waist, and tattsuke-hakama pants in a paler brown version of the regular Demon Slayer uniform. He wore a white-yellow gradient haori with red flame-like ridges at the end. Finally, he donned a pair of red kyahan with yellow flames bursting from the bottom up, pale brown tabi socks, and white zori with red straps.
