"Sorry for the wait, I hope it wasn't too long?" Shinobu asked with a smile. (Name) shook her head. "Oh no no, it's fine! I actually met a really interesting girl and played some games with the three girls." Skipping happily to the chair she's supposed to sit in, she took a seat.

Genya bid goodbye to (Name) and Shinobu, telling the teen he'd wait for her outside.

"So, it's come to my attention you've been having some trouble with your eye."

(Name) nodded. "Oh yes, at random moments it would flare up in excruciating pain. Though, I noticed it does flare up when I'm experiencing a strong feeling of hatred. Usually though, it's just random. Once, it actually started to spread but went back down." Shrugging her shoulders, she kicked her feet lightly.

"I don't know what's happening with me."

Shinobu took all this information in and gave a hum. "Well, I suspect there may be a reason to that pain."

"Really!? You know what's happening?" Coming to the edge of her seat, (Name) leaned close as anticipation began to fill her senses.

"Yes. That attack on your village four months ago, you were fighting a demon while protecting Ubuyashiki-san correct?"

"Oh uhm. Yea."

"Well, after taking a look at your blood sample I'd taken I noticed something odd. Your cellular structure oddly resembled that of Genya's when in his demon state. However, it's different as well. It seems you got the demon's blood within your system and it's slowly trying to turn you into one. Permanently."

(Name) stilled and her breath came to a halt momentarily. "I...I'm sorry what? Could you..." Her throat felt dry as she tried to process what she just heard.

"It's alright (Name), we're lucky we caught it before it was too late. I don't know how to fully get rid of the demon's blood seeing as it's clung itself onto some of your blood cells. And since we constantly reproduce blood cells, they constantly reproduce as well. But, I can keep the spreading at bay." Scooting her chair closer to her desk, she pulled open the small drawer and pulled out a small clear bottle.

It was plastic and about the size of her palm. Twisting the cap off, Shinobu stood over the shocked teen.

"It's eyedrops infused with wisteria. It should keep the cell regeneration at bay. Could you open your eye?" Doing as told, (Name) removed her bandage and allowed Shinobu to administer the drops.

"You are to take four drops a day every twelve hours, understand?"

(Name) hissed in pain as the wisteria began killing Muzan's cells within her eye. "Burns. Ouch, ouch, ouuuchh." Once the pain calmed down, she took her drops from Shinobu and thanked her.

"Thank you Kocho-san!"

"Of course, of course! From now on you'll be visiting me monthly with Genya for check ups. Also, if that eye ever flares up, be sure to send me a message. I'll try my best to help you."

"Yes ma'am!"

As she left Shinobu's office, she couldn't help but lower her head as a feeling of worry began to settle. 'A demon...me? Well not exactly but...still...' biting her bottom lip, she wondered if this was his way at getting back at her for the fight she put up. Deciding to worry about it later, she approached the kitchen.
