I rolled in my futon.

Memories from last night came flooding back to me.

I was flustered enough from Natsu's teasing. She said I looked so happy. I was in such a daze that I tried to eat the plate instead of the food.

"That's not true! I never did that!"
"You did, Y/N chan, you looked so funny!

"Natsu!!"
"And I even had to dress you up in nightclothes!"

Natsu never lies.
Maybe this all happened.

But, I was really happy.

It feels wrong, but how should I stop my feelings?

How did I even fall for him?

I pulled out the hairpin he gifted me.

It had a nice lustre.

I inspected the designs once more, it was carved so beautifully.

Did he order this just for me?

A sharp knock on the door awoke me from my daze.

I jolted up and turned around, as I saw Natsu entering.

"Douma-san is here.
He wants to talk."

*+:。.。 。.。:+*

Douma was incredibly silent.

As we sat face to face, his eyes looked drooped.

He never looks this devastated.

"What happened?"

My words seemed to break him out of his trance.

"Akaza-dono is no more."

"What?"

"He is dead, Hantengu and GYOKKO are no more too. Lord Muzan is extremely frustrated."

"Oh."

I did remember Akaza from that night.

Serves him right. He killed Rengoku-san after all.

"I don't think I will be able to spend time with you anymore."

I looked up at him.

"Muzan sama has ordered me to take out the demon slayers and also find the blue spider lily."

The blue spider lily?!

"You aren't going to do that right?"

He remained silent.

"So you are going to kill my friends?"

He is breaking his promise.
Yes I made him promise that he will never harm the demon slayers.

"I am sorry Y/N chan."

I looked away from him.

Damn that Kibutsuji!

"Atleast I will have to put up an act of doing so. Although I do not keep much hope."

"What do you mean?"

"My time is with you is very limited. Someone as strong as Akaza has been killed. I won't be living soon enough."

A panic struck my heart.

"Don't say that!"

"I am sorry. But this is true." I saw tears flowing out of his eyes.

They must be fake, right?
They have to be fake!

He can't die!

"I came here to tell this. This must be the last time I am meeting you.'

Don't cry. Don't cry.

But my efforts were futile. Tears flowed down from my eyes. I whimpered out, as I came closer to him and hugged him.

"I am sorry, I am sorry," he apologized again, burying his head against my neck, as I felt the tears falling.

I felt warm even though his body ws warm.

It's over. It's all coming to an end.
