[ Hello Everyone! First I would like to thank you for your patience and support, you guys are very sweet! Secondly, this chapter was supposed to be a double/two-in-one Chapter, since you waited so long, but I decided not to do so. I will post the next chapter real soon ]

3rd Person perspective:

Daki: "Let's talk about something else...oh! How about childhood/past crushes!~" Daki got very exited, since all kind of romance wakened her interest.

Gyutaro: "..I don't think anyone besides you wants to talk about that." Gyutaro dared to confront Daki, which didn't please Daki very much. She didn't want to give up on the Drama just yet. Whilst Daki was loudly protesting some Demons actually gave it a thought.

[ Oh! Sorry for interrupting again, just wanted to let you know that there are going to be some tiny spoilers and ships you might not like, but won't have any effect on the Story. My apologies, please enjoy~ ]

Kaigaku Pov:

I don't think I had something even near a crush before. I always made sure to not bond with anyone too much, since it would make me weak being emotionally attached to someone...Besides, I never really stayed anywhere for too long. The people who were closest to me were probably that Grandpa/my old Sensei and Zenitsu..god, was he annoying! Such a crybaby as well. Wasting time..whilst I could have been trained! He tried to get close to me so badly, I literally had to push him off..! But after all..I suppose he really did care for me. Even though I had never shown him any affection, he kept being nice to me, seeking my attention. I wonder what I had meant to him?.. Was I like a brother to him or had he perhaps felt something different towards me? Neither way, it does not concern me anymore. Once again I f*cked up and lost someone who cared..I just hope for him that he hasn't become a Demon Slayer.

"..."

"..?" I noticed someone staring, allowing me to let go off the bothersome thoughts.

"Something wrong..?" Gyutaro's eyes quickly redrew and he stammered an excuse.

Gyutaro: "Ah..i just thought..you know..,Ugh! Nevermind."

Kaigaku: "..I have no idea what that was supposed mean, but alright."

( They ended up having an slowly progressing, but comfortable chat. While Daki, who had calmed down, watched them excitedly. )

Akaza Pov: 

After everyone had seemed to "attack" the Demon, who's name was supposedly Kaigaku, Daki changed the subject. I've found this Sleepover to be quite boring till now and have honestly stopped paying attention, unless a female intended to speak. Therefore the last thing I've heard was Daki asking about our past crushes..? I'm not quite sure. Everyone has kinda started minding their own business or talking to the one next to them to avoid the question. As for me the first option was the case. Since there was nothing else to do, I decided to give it a thought. But no matter how hard I tried to recall a Memory ,of someone who was close to me and/or had made me feel attracted towards them, there was nothing to be found. Which shouldn't have surprised me, but there was this weird feeling..like I had forgotten something or someone important. Perhaps from my Human life? I can not recall any Memories of being a Human...everything had gone blurry.


Douma POV:

The conversation with Enmu quickly lead to the already asked question of having experienced a relationship or crush in the past. I simply answered with a yes, without anymore information. Enmu however didn't want to believe me without any context, so I ended up "admitting" to him to have lied about it. I guess lying to a Friend isn't good, but I had no interest to tell anyone about Kotoha. I honestly couldn't think about her without feeling a sharp pain in my chest, she had truly meant a lot to me...however I had decided to move on. How ungrateful it might seem, to push her aside and move on has been my only choice. Focusing on Akaza had helped me stay together quite well, even though the process of making him like me hadn't worked too well at first...Continuing our conversation, Enmu made fun of me for not having experience with love. Which I honestly pretty much didn't, but had still felt a little offended by it. Asking Enmu about his Love life however, wasn't met with cheerfulness and glorious Memories either. Enmu ended up admitting to not have had an relationship either, which made me feel both, a little better and a bit angered.

"How come you make fun of me for not having been able to get a Date, whilst you couldn't either??" I asked somewhat confused and offended.

"W-well! You're much older than me, so you had way more chances of winning someone over!" Enmu was clearly a little embarrassed and saddened about the fact that nobody had ever felt an romantic attraction towards him. So I decided to let it slip and cheer him up! :D

"I guess you're right! I'm sure you'll find someone eventually. With that glamorous hair and pretty face of yours, you will surely get the fine ones..~"

Enmu stopped for a moment, before snickering quietly.

"Haha, don't flatter me like that! But you're right! With my fabulous looks and striking personality, they'll definitely all be falling for me real soon! >:D" Enmu said confidentially, before meeting my gaze again and starting to laugh along with me.

After I had finished my conversation with Enmu and he had turned to talk with Rui, my eyes couldn't but stare at Akaza. Who seemed to be thinking..did he have a lover as well? I couldn't help but feel a little jealous, even though I had one as well. I felt the need to grab Akaza and snuggle with him..! But he would certainly not be pleased if i did so, it would probably "embarrass" him. Instead I quickly moved my hand above his and started talking with the others again, avoiding eye contact with him, as to not make it too obvious. In the corner of my eye I could catch Akaza blushing. He didn't remove his nor my hand...which was good. He hadn't lost interest in me, meaning there wouldn't be anything standing between us.


With Enmu & Rui

Enmu: "So how about you Rui, any crushes to share?"

Rui: "well, I've met a cute boy lately.."

Enmu: "Awe..cuter than you??"

Rui thought for a second, recalling the appearance of the said boy, before answering: "Certainly."

Enmu: "wow,..tell me more about him! How did you meet, what did he look like~"

Rui: "Theres not much you need to know. It is hard to describe his beauty in words...what I can tell you is the he is a Demon Slayer."

Enmu: "Your choice of word is truly a pleasure to my ears, however am I unsure of having understood the last part. Are you sure we are talking about a Demon Slayer, who you have or had a crush on?"

Rui: "Yes."

Enmu: "..you do know they're our Enemy's, right?"

Rui: "Yes, I am aware of that." Rui had an emotionless look on his face.

Enmu : "Does Master Muzan know about this..?~"

Rui: "no and he doesn't need to. He won't know unless somebody was to rat me out..." Rui blankly stared at Enmu, piercing trough him with his cold stare.

Enmu: "Hmm, understandable." Enmu smiled slightly at Rui.

Rui: "If you were to consider betraying me, I would highly suggest you to rethink your choice."

Enmu: "Oh and how's that?~"

Rui: "Master is more likely to belief in my words than yours. If you told him about my crush, I would just deny it and make you seem like a Lair. No matter your Rang being higher, he would chose me over you any day."

Enmu: "Interesting...you seem pretty sure of yourself! What makes you belief in these words..?~" Enmu's smile was deadly, eyes focused on the smaller Demon, he found it to be quite amusing.

Rui: "..." Rui stayed quiet, since he did not see a need to explain the situation further.

Enmu: "Anyways..you did not answer my question yet!"

Rui: "Hm?" Rui innocently looked up to Enmu.

Enmu: "Yes! What is this guys like, what does he look like??"

Rui: "oh..he had a very unique fighting style..! (With he almost managed to cut my head off..) Even though I could see the kindness in his eyes and feel a friendly Aura forming around him, it was a tough Fight. The sweetness in his actions, I had seen while watching him afterwards and gentle movements still manage to make my heart skip a beat...However, he wouldn't give me his Sister!" :(

Enmu: "...you should stop trying to steal other people's Family members.." :/

-And with that their "wholesome" chat about love was over.
