This is the original Snippet for Stone Slumber.
Near the peak of Mount Fujiyama, a rumble from a recent earthquake reveal four stone statues. Two hundred years ago, a final battle began and Tamayo in an attempt to kill Muzan, poisoned him and his top ranks in blood that should have kept them occupied till sunrise.But in the first rays of the sunshine, instead of disappearing, the demons turned to stone. The battle was left unfinished as the demons were buried in a landslide, never to be found till now, in the 21st century.

Kotoha had been hiking when she cut herself near the top of Mount Fuji. Her leg would need some serious stitches, but she was a day out from her car. All she could do was hobble her way back to her campsite. Wincing when the tender skin would brush leaves.
—
Once the sun faded, a clawed hand curled, breaking the stone and soon the rest of the statue crumbled.
Falling to his knees, adrenaline rushed through him as drool left his mouth, hunger taking over but the scent of the blood was familiar.
Rainbow eyes darted around, uncaring for his fellow demons that were still trapped.
"Kotoha~!" A smile stretched across his face and soon he was off to find the source.
—
It was her!
She had passed out before making it to her campsite, collapsing and going unconscious shortly before Douma found her.
It was Kotoha! She looked as beautiful as the day he, unfortunately, had to eat her. But with Muzan-sama trapped, maybe he can have her this time!
He picked her up, entering her strange-looking tent filled with all sorts of strange items. How long had he been trapped in stone?
Well, none of that mattered. Douma picked up her leg and licked her wound clean. His tongue only going skin deep and he watched new clean blood come forth. Her blood still sates his hunger till he could hunt again.
He found a box that smelled of medicine and opened it, reading some of the strange writing that looked to be Japanese mixed with other languages. Still, instructions were on there and he followed them.
The leg was patched up and Douma went to hug her to him.
It had been so long! He missed the days when it was them and Inosuke! It had pained him to end her but Muzan wouldn't allow anyone to leave his cult alive.
Douma notice her cheek had gotten a cut and he swiped his tongue to clean it.
Her brow crunched but she only curled more into him.
Oh, he wasn't going to let her go so easily this time.
—
Sunrise came and Douma left. Hiding in the shadows as he stalked her till she got to a path of black stone and a strange carriage made of metal.
He tracked her as far as the trees lasted and was left behind. His view shows him the changed landscape. He decided to sit and watch as the sun went down and how bright and alive the city became.
A smile crosses his face.
The age of demons has come again.
—
He killed a man, bringing the fresh kill to his master, hoping to release him from his prison.
It didn't rouse him but it did awaken Akaza and Kokushibo.
He informed them of what he had discovered.
They are now in the age of the Reiwa era. Douma had spent a week consuming and learning about this new age.
Douma had changed his attire to a red button-up and tan pants. Wearing a black jacket for the cold that was to come this fall but he didn't feel such things.
He offered clothes for his fellow demons with Akaza taking a white hoodie and Kokushibo wanting to look refined like their master.
Maybe soon they can get their master from his prison but not now.
—
Douma would find Kotoha again, attending a university.
Cute how in this life she was not going to be as dumb as before but he hopes she can be natïve when he finally comes for her. Perhaps tying her to him in some way.
But for now, he'll sit on rooftops, licking his fangs for another taste.
