Muzan might've found out something that could change everything, he had always ignored this book before but now... oh god... but while he was finishing the last bit of the paragraph he was reading he felt wrong, something wasn't right. He didn't know what it was but it felt like there was something in his mind calling for help. He looked at his reflection in a glass vase and moved his hair away from his neck to look at his soulmate mark. He realized it now, he usually felt some kind of connection to his soulmate, but it's like a string connecting the both of them got severed. Muzan read about this... this is the first stage of soulmates dying, wait, it's the first stage of- shit.

Muzan realized his mistake now, he had a vision of where Douma was and he told Yoriichi about it, but... Yoriichi was in danger. Muzan was about to put his book down but he thought against it... instead he put it in his robes just in case, he might need it. He narrowed his eyes, he knew Douma did something to Yoriichi, but his soulmate wasn't dead. Muzan's eyes moved towards the fridge where a piece of paper was attached he grabbed it and headed out to the coordinates on the paper.

Yoriichi's head hurt, where was he, he felt tired and it was like he could barely move. He sat up a bit which was a big mistake because when he did he felt a sharp pain in his head, he fell back to the floor and held his head in his hands, whatever was happening with him was something he couldn't just walk off surely. Yoriichi made out what looked like a small dark lit room, he would usually be able to kind of see in the dark but right now he was too weak to even keep his eyes open at this point. He could kind of remember things through his clouded memory though, that woman... she led him into a trap. It's strange though, it was perfectly set up, like whatever is holding him here knew he was going to come. Yoriichi couldn't blame the woman though, from what he remembered her lover was actually in danger, she was just doing what she could to save him, which was leading Yoriichi into that trap. He felt ashamed of himself for not being able to catch onto something being wrong here, but he was too distracted by the hope of being able to avenge his wife... he looked down to his hand sadly and pulled his sleeve down. He looked at the soulmate mark, a slight glow emitted from it. He felt bad once again, was he too distracted by his grief instead? Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and... acceptance. He loved Uta, of course... but she was dead, there was nothing he could do about that... he had to move on. Especially with his newfound love for Muzan, he couldn't just think of Uta every time he saw his soulmate.

Yoriichi heard a door in the far corner of his vision open and a bright light shone into the room. He had hope at first thinking it was someone to help him but instead he saw that pair of rainbow coloured eyes he saw when he had passed out. An actual light in the room was flickered on and the rainbow eyed demon looked at him. "Ah, you're awake I see."

The figure came over to Yoriichi and crouched down infront of him. It looked like the man was inspecting Yoriichi or something, "I would've expected more out of someone who won over my master's heart."

'Master' It was odd to hear Muzan be referred to that way, sometimes Yoriichi forgets that Muzan is... well the demon king. Yoriichi made eye contact with the upper moon one demon, neither of them spoke, they just shared eye contact. It finally set in to Yoriichi that this was the demon that had murdered his wife, he didn't smell it at first but he could recognize the demon's scent. And well... Yoriichi had looked at a couple vases with skulls in them, and one of the skulls had a wisteria flower crown on top of the head. This demon wasn't effected by wisteria.

Douma was inspecting Yoriichi when the maroon coloured eyes from the demon slayer moved over to his display of skulls. "Oh, do you like them? Sadly for me my friend that made those pots died so now I just put the skulls wherever, I'm running out of space you know."
