In a town sits Yami among bloody bodies eating a forearm with a quiet joy
???: You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Looking over Yami saw the white pants, black suit jacket and fedora of Muzan standing next to him
Yami: Of course. I put in so much effort in this hunt.
He took a bite of flesh blood covering his jaw
Muzan: Hunt? You make killing humans sound like a game.
Yami: Is it not? These weaklings are nothing more than prey, ready to be killed.
Muzan: Do you get satisfaction out of making them scared?
Yami: Absolutely. But its more, because they taste better when they die scared.
The Demon King smiled
Muzan: Tell me. What are your ambitions? Why do you kill so mercilessly? Without regard.
Yami: Really... I just want a place where I can kill who I want, when I want. Like a hunter in an enclosure, stalking the animals that are trapped with him. That is my ambition.
He looked up at the destroyed town
Yami: I want paradise.
Muzan: Paradise, huh? For such an ambition to be achieved, equal strength is required, no?
Looking up at the demon king Yami listened
Muzan: There's no doubt you've had a run in with a demon slayer or two. I'm sure you know how annoying they can be.
Yami glanced at the ground recalling his encounters with said slayers
Muzan: Eating humans can only get you so strong. However my blood on the other hand... Can do wonders for your strength.
He put his hand out
Muzan: Are you willing to accept my gracious offer? To fight and kill all those who stand in your way. For the sake of your paradise?
Standing up Yami chuckled and threw the forearm to the side
Yami: If taking a handout is what I need to reach my paradise, then sure. Why not?
He reached out to Muzan's hand making the king smile
Back in the present Yami ground his teeth in anger as he was unable to really hurt Zane in any way
Zane of all the people to prove difficult to hurt let alone kill was something Yami would have never even gave the time of day to think about
Then he stopped grinding his teeth as a sinister smile formed on his face
Yami: How about I take things up a notch.
He crouched down and clenched his hands flexing them as a dark red color sprouted from the middle of his palm and it crawled across the rest of his hand and up his arm
He was being coated in a new skin it clawed at the mans neck and covered the entirety of Yami's head skin and turned his sclera black
Smoke and dust began to swirl around him blocking Zane's view until two bright red dots shined through the smoke and Yami's silhouette was revealed he now had two horns on his forehead
Seeing this along with the new heartbeat a single drop of nervous sweet crawled down Zane's head
Zane: (Now the beat I hear from him is closer to...)
A crouching Akaza smirking from the first time they "met" flashed in his mind
Zane: (Did he really get that strong?)
