"Of course, I have to be strong for Mama!"
The demon boops his nose. "Good. Keep getting strong till you can beat your old man."
He hopes that day never happens.
Inosuke smiles and nods eagerly. Douma sets him down and kneels for a moment more. His...
Douma feels the boy jump, using his chest as a platform, and lands in the water where that girl, Kanao, is quick to his side. Douma stumbles, blood pouring from his wound and he feels his jaw heal, training his eyes on the boy, needing to confirm the impossible.
Time slows as the boy turns to glare at him.

It was Inosuke.
"You look just like your mother." Douma was still stunned but his delivery looked chilly to the two. A precious memory comes to mind as Douma continues to stare at his son.

"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!!" Inosuke proclaims pointing one of his swords at him. His gaze was full of rage directed at him like he believed his own declaration in his heart.
The whole world froze at those words. His hair shifted to hide his eyes as his head is lowered. Ice spikes formed around the two slayers, startling them.
He didn't remember him....Nor did he remember Kotoha it seems if he believed he was raised by animals.
Inosuke accused him of killing his wife. His son that he has mourned thinking he was dead and yet he was a slayer, aiming to kill him. His father that would go to the ends of the earth for him and his mother.
Douma clenches more tightly onto his fans. The temperature was dropping in the domain making the slayers shiver.
"No....No, I didn't." Douma started to cackle, shoulders shaking and Kanao was ready to attack but she watches as the demon stumbled to take a step.
