help (Tankana)

part 6

(Third pov)

The next day, everything was very calm, shockingly. Akaza and Kyojuro were training together. Hantengu and Zenitsu started bonding over their scared personalities. Urogi and Karaku were messing around with Inosuke and playing with Nezuko in her child form. Daki was brushing Kanao's hair. Tanjiro was giving sibling advice and therapy to Aizetsu, Sekido, Zohakuten, and Kaigaku. Gyutaro was sleeping in the corner of the room. Kokushibo and Muzan were on the other side of the room, keeping a close eye on Douma, who was tied up. Nakime was playing her Biwa. And Gyokko was just making pots.

Tanjiro "Why is Douma tied up, exactly?"

Kokushibo "There are four females here... he must be detained."

Akaza "And even if there weren't any females, if he's tied up. I'm happy."

Douma "But, Akaza, I thought you would enjoy it more if you were tied up and under Rengoku in a bed.~"

Akaza and Kyojuro stopped their training as he said that both of them were blushing. Akaza walked to where Gyutaro was sleeping, feeling quite flustered.

Kokushibo "You take any chance to tease Akaza."

Douma "Yes, I do."

Zohakuten looked at Nezuko in her child form, playing with Karaku, then glaring back at Douma.

Zohakuten "Douma, why would you say something like that while there's an innocent child here?"

Douma "Hey, this is what has when honesty is the best policy."

Kokushibo and Muzan hit him on the back of his head.

Daki "Ugh, boys."

Kanao "They're very loud and can be obnoxious."

Nakime "Douma, if you say something like that again, I'll telaport you into the sun."

Douma "Fine, I'll keep my mouth shut, but I meant every word."

Kyojuro "Akaza and I are just friends, and Akaza probably just views me as a training partner."

Akaza 'Dammit, I'm in the friend zone.'

Zenitsu "I was not expecting the uppermoons to be like this."

Kaigaku "Yeah, it's pretty shocking."

Akaza "Well, it's getting dark now. I should probably be heading out now. Oh, what are your sisters' names?"

Kanao "Shinobu Kocho, Aoi Kanzaki, Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo."

Akaza "Thanks, bye."

Nakime teleported Akaza into a nearby forest.

Akaza "Alright, I just have to find her sisters. Maybe a Kakushi can help out with finding them. I probably should have brought one of them to help me."

He ran through the forest, picking up on any human presence.

Akaza 'Yes, a Kakushi!'

He dropped down in front of young Kakushi, slightly scaring her.

Akaza "No need to be afraid. I don't hurt females. I just need you to help me with finding someone by the name of Shinobu Kocho."

Kakushi "M-miss Kocho is out on a mission."

Akaza "Damn, can you take me to her estate?"

Kakushi "U-uhm, I'm not supposed to."

Akaza "Don't worry, I won't harm anyone if that's what you're thinking."

Kakushi "Fine, follow me."

He followed her as she reluctantly led him to the butterfly estate.

Akaza, "Thanks for bringing me here. You can go now."
