Akaza x Douma Oneshot

Muzzled and Poisoned pt.7

The cool breeze of the night air was refreshing against Akaza's skin.Finally he was about out of the Infinity Fortress and was resting on the edge of a cliff.

It has been about 3 months since he had escaped that obsessive freaked that held the position of the ice hashira.It was also the first time he had been allowed out of the Infinity Fortress by his master.Mainly due to concerns that other hashiras would be after him,probably not for the same reason but still the concern was there.

Meanwhile Douma ran for his life through the thick woods,relatively knowing where he was going.Making his lungs ache as he ran as quick as possible,hearing the snapping jaws of stray dogs that had been turned into demons.Used for hunting escaped humans like him.

Coming to the clearing,he realised he had just ran to a cliff edge which meant those dogs would most certainly catch up.Though he could jump down but there might not be water underneath to catch him.

"Halt you stupid mutts!" A familiar voice yelled and the dogs stopped in their tracks.Growling in disappointment because they won't be getting to gnaw on human flesh.Though they knew better than to go against the orders of an Upper Moon.

"A-Akaza..." Douma mumbled in shock,tears welling in his eyes as the demon turned around to look at the demon slayer.The look of surprise and annoyance was very evident but he didn't say anything."I'm so sorry!I know that you hate and rightfully so but I promise you I regret everything!I shouldn't have done any of that to you!" He started to cry,remembering all of the horrible things he had done to the demon in front of him.Hating every part of himself that had originally thought that everything he had done was perfectly alright.God he has never hated himself so much before than he does right now.

To nobody's surprise,Akaza was very shocked by the outburst.Feeling kind of bad for the hashira who looked very battered,so many cuts and bruises all over his body.No bandages were wrapped around them so they could easily become infected.A small part of him felt sorry for the blond but another still hated him for the abuse he had to suffer through.

"Akaza please just end this pest for the love of God!"

Out of nowhere Muzan had appeared,glaring hatefully at the still crying hashira who was shaking heavily either due to fatigue or being too cold.It made the pinkette feel sorry for the twenty year old who clearly regretted everything that had done.

"Let him live Dad." Akaza bite his tongue as the words came out of his mouth,knowing the absolute lecture he will get later but right now he couldn't care less."Douma just go home and never show your face to me again." The hashira nodded rapidly and shakily pulled himself to his feet.Muttering 'thank you' before heading off to the nearest town so he could receive medical treatment.

"You're growing soft on those slayers Akaza,not only did he abuse you and he forced you do be a lab rat!"

"I know what he did,trust me the nightmares won't let me forget.But I'd rather have him die without listening to him beg for forgiveness."
