Reader POV

It was half a year after I bade my precious sons goodbye.

I could not bring myself to move around or eat as I felt so empty.

Doma was very concerned and insisted we see a special doctor that catered to demon patients.

"Nothing a doctor can do will bring my sons back," I lamented. "Even though I made the right choice, it is hard. We are a great distance away from them and I will not see them again for a long time."

Doma's lips thinned from sympathy to exasperation. "(y/n), this is what I warned you of. Once you become a demon, you must give up everything for the sake of taking down Muzan."

I closed my eyes and knew he was right. "It hurts me so, Doma. And it will forever haunt me."

"(y/n), you are a demon now-"

I turned my head at him with anger in my eyes. "I realize this, Doma. I wish I could go back in time though. And kill Muzan when I had the chance."

"But you never stood a chance then and you don't stand a chance now," he said with a sharp tone before getting softer. "Not until you get stronger."

I slowly rose from my bed. "Then how will I get stronger? I will not rest until I strike him down-as well as his descendants."

"You do realize his descendants will be yours as well?"

I shook my head. "Not all. He's had countless brides, Doma. All of which who gave birth to some of his demon heirs."

Doma frowned. "So you will let his other heirs die? All because they're demons? (y/n), you do realize you're now a demon?"

"I do realize. There's no way to kill a demon," I said. "But there's always a way. Deep in the forest, there is a village hidden in plain sight. They say that the gems found there are able to kill demons."

"But we've never had accounts of any of the demons being killed by these gems," Doma frowned. "And why? You do realize that we would also die?"

"A small price to pay in exchange for taking down Muzan." I put my feet on the floor and held his hand as he helped my frail form to the little kitchen area as I was starving.

"(y/n), stop." Doma tried to stop me as I attempted to prepare a soup. "That isn't any nutrition for us demons."

I simply glared at him. "I refuse to care or eat a human."

"But-"

"If I have to starve, I see no issue. Besides...I'll live forever. Or at least until a demon hunter kills me." I looked at the mirror and instantly punched it, hating how I looked. "I hate how I look. Doma, we need new disguises."

The demon stared at me with confusion but followed me anyways towards a distant village that was said to be a man's greatest pleasure but also where he loses everything.

As the moon rose higher, we approached the village and were greeted with the bright lights as well as the sounds of women laughing and trying to secure their...appointments for the night.

"What kind of place is this?" Doma asked me with sheer fascination.

"This is where humans come to pay for night works as well as gambling," I explained as we walked towards a booth that was selling some beautiful hair ribbons.
