'Though the trace is faint... I can still tell a demon's been here' were shinobu's thoughts as she was doing her checkups on Rengoku's recovery. "So how is it?" He asked with gritted teeth, squeezing his eyes shut as Shinobu slowly removed the bandages from his stomach.

There was still a large concave dent in his abdomen, but you could see that his skin was beginning to slowly stitch itself together and heal. "Keep on doing what your doing right now and you'll be healed in no time, just try not to strain yourself"

she squeezed some disinfect cream on her delicate fingers and began applying it to the scarred skin around the wound; making Rengoku grunt in pain as she replaced the bandages.

"Thank you Kocho" Rengoku let out a strained breath and leant against his bed frame with a slight pant. Shinobu stood up and eyed the room "Say... Rengoku you haven't seen any demon's recently have you?" Her voice was calm yet curious.

Kyojuro stiffened. He knew he should've reported to the master what happened with the upper moon three, however he just felt like it was the wrong decision... and he couldn't figure out why. Rengoku decided to hold onto this secret for at least a little longer.

"I don't believe so? What is your worry Kocho?!" He shouted with a bit of hesitance, a singular bead of sweat travelling down his forehead. Shinobu shook her head and let out a light chuckle, walking to the door with a smile "oh nothing~ do rest well today Kyojuro I'll be on a mission so Aoi will hand you your meds"

"Perfect! Thank you for your help!" With that she waved and exited the room, leaving Kyojuro to his own devices.

"Akaza-dono! Have this arm! Why haven't you eaten? I can tell just by looking at you!" Douma exclaimed, holding a severed limb up to the upper moon's drooling mouth. The demon in question growled and slapped it away, making Douma fake gasp in offence.

"Fuck off. I'm not hungry" he hissed while wiping away the drool, gripping his fists tightly as to restrain his hunger "I'm leaving. Muzan-sama is done with us" he forced out while turning away from Douma who was still trying to get his attention.

The upper moon's had just been summoned for a meeting, well rather it was more of a scolding from the terrifying demon king about how they needed to up their search for the blue spider Lilly. They were only left on a small warning, nothing too severe since Muzan treated his highest moon's with at least a little respect.

"Bye bye Akaza-dono! Make sure you eat or you'll never get stronger~" Douma sang before they all left the infinity fortress by the sound of Nakime's biwa.

Akaza was sat in the shadows of the woods, staring at a small village full with working people in the gentle sunshine; their children giggling and playing as the sun was slowly setting.

The demon liked to do this.

He would stalk a village for a while, pick out the male's who were around mid-age and wait till the sun set to attack his specific targets. Every demon had a specific taste; Kokushibo enjoyed the specific taste of children, Muzan only ate the finest human meat available... and Douma was a glutton.

That's why everyone hated him. Douma ate everyone and everything. Women, men, children, elderly, disabled. That's probably why he managed to grow stronger in such a short amount of time.

In Akaza's case he only ate men. Never in his demon life had Akaza killed a woman; he didn't really know why. It just felt wrong to him.

However these late months Akaza had lost his appetite. He had forced himself to eat the odd human, but nothing like he used to eat. It was as if every human's flesh he tasted was repulsing.
