Afterdark (Aoi x Male Reader)

Showdown Part 3

The time became slower.

An adrenaline rush. A hysteria moment.

Shinobu could feel every movement in her body, every cell functioning inside her. The knife traveled in a deadly motion.

The end of this nightmare is just inches away.

Shinobu will avenge her sister, at last this bastard will be thrown to the deepest pit in hell where he will burn until the end of times.

Little Shinobu knew about life. It is a bitch, letting you grasp the glory for a single moment. Then it will throw you down from the highest point it can.

Only a flash could be seen from Douma's smile. He was waiting for this exact moment, the time where Shinobu Kocho lower her guard.

No man can stop his body in that situation, that demon is no exception, but he was an exception when it comes to flexibility, he could bend his body in abnormal ways. Like a whirlwind, Douma changed directions and evaded the blade. It grazed his cheek and blood dripped from the blade.

"Watch out, Shinobu-chan!" Mitsuri jumped into action and tried to slash the blonde man.

Yes, everything was going as he expected.

When the love pillar blade cut the flesh and blood splutter from the wound, it was too late.

She missed the target and the one bleeding is no other than her best friend.

"Eh?" Her green eyes became wide open.

Douma lured them into a trap. A psychological one. He won't be able to kill the pinknette while the butterfly is helping, but now that she slashed her own friend... ot was his chance to kill both of them.

Like a raging lion, the vile man jumped into a flurry of blows. The custom made blade-fans cut the air with slices and slashes. Every hit was a new injury on Mitsuri's body. Not only he aimed for her vitals but also for small blows that would render her body useless at every step back she takes.

"Don't take me so lightly!"

Shinobu Kocho parried the strikes and tried to stab that monster again and again. Only one blow, she could die in peace if only one blow connects.

"I didn't, Shinobu-chan!"

The heavy kick broke through any remaining defense the Kocho had. A direct hit to her torso with the blade-fans. Blood began to gush from her wound and her knees buckled.

"I was just waiting for this!" He grabbed her hair and without even a little remorse he hit her face with his knee.

Then he slapped her and to finish his job, he slammed her head against the ground face-on. Shinobu was knocked even before she hit the floor, Douma only wanted to make her suffer more and more. He has to kill all the butterflies.

"You monster!"

Kanroji slashed him. It was so dull that evading it would be a waste of energy. He only parried it and kicked the gut of the young woman. Both of them are out of combat. It was his win.

The door was shattered to splinters when Tomioka Giyu kicked it. Two men were standing in the door. Douma smiled when he saw a pair of faces transforming into indescribable horror ones.

Now he was rock-hard. Those are the faces he wanted to see, the Apex of despair, the rock-bottom of a man. He can't help but to have an erection and a smile drawn on his lips.

"Welcome~"
