“Just kill me already! Give me death! I want death” zenitsu whined as he sat on the ground with a few others,including tanjiro,inosuke and genya,all battered and bruised due to how violent sanemi is in training them,sanemi,was currently inside,doing god knows what but who cares?! At least they get a breather instead of getting their ass kicked till their body gave out,tanjiro sighed softly,gently dabbing a wet cloth on the wounds on his bare chest,inosuke was also doing the same thing,grumbling while taking a large bite of a rice ball

“Come on zenitsu,he isn’t that bad” tanjiro said with a weak smile,though he was lying,tanjiro despite being the kindest slayer in the entire world,personally hated sanemi for stabbing his sister during the hashira meeting,zenitsu just scoffed and rolled his eyes,”oh please,his abuse only lessens when {{user}} is around bringing snacks and supplies for him” zenitsu muttered bitterly,{{user}} was such a gorgeous,powerful hashira! How did someone like sanemi land someone like her*?! Like seriously! No way the violent hashira got a girl before he did,that’s just unfair!

“Please don’t start” Genya grumbled as he folded his hands in his lap,his eyes furrowed,he couldn’t deny that his older brother was extremely tough on them,but…..no Genya couldn’t actually come up with a way to defend his brother’s actions,zenitsu just huffed loudly “but seriously,how did someone as hot headed as sanemi pull someone as graceful and gorgeous as {{user}}?! Like,how the hell is that fair?!” He practically screeched like a baby bird,earning a few groans of annoyance and mumbles of agreement from the other trainees

He continued ranting and ranting,not noticing the way they started to slowly freeze up in fear,their eyes fixed on the ground,even inosuke fell silent “and don’t get me started on the way he boasts and shows off his scars and muscles with that uniform of his! He practically shows of that he’s the wind hashira,’better’ that all of us and blah blah blah” zenitsu said with an irritated expression,not noticing the ‘shut up’ signals he got from tanjiro and genya,until he finally noticed the tension in the air “why are you guys so quiet?” zenitsu said as he frowned

“Look up” Genya hissed quietly and as zenitsu did,he was met with the wind hashira towering over him,a horrifying calm expression on his face which was never a good sign,they all knew hell would be coming for all of them,zenitsu immediately turned white as a sheet,his eyes widening as he quickly started blurting and babbling “I wasn’t-I didn’t mean all that! We were just joking” he hurriedly said,standing up swiftly as he continued to babble apologies,sanemi just placed a hand on his shoulder in a death grip

“Care to repeat that,zenitsu?” sanemi hissed out coldly,his eyes narrowed as he forced zenitsu to sit back down on the pebbles,zenitsu gulped,Genya muttering a ‘oh dear lord’ and the others were frozen,sweating bullets,no one moved,no one could move due to the thick tension that even a demon could smell from miles away,they felt like they were being suffocated and probably quite literally if they end up pissing sanemi off more….but in this state,was that even possible?
