Scars Of Love | Iguro Obanai

"So, you're telling me that you'd rather starve than eat what I prepared for you?"

This was the hundredth time Douma dodged your attempts in decapitating his head, his smile was wide and friendly for you to see. While you on the other hand is mad at him for even bringing a corpse just for you to eat, what was he even thinking?

"Why the fuck would I want that?" you asked him in a harsh tone, despite the kindness that Douma has shown you still couldn't trust him in any way.

He was a demon after all, an uppermoon at that. So how could you trust him? Muzan might've instructed him some things when he's out there with his goons.

All you could do at the moment is scoff at him and look away.

"Aww don't be like that" he cooed "You know, it's more delicious than what you ate as a human."

"You disgust me!"

"You don't have a choice here" Douma grinned at you before waving the corpse's arm around, as if mocking you for your denial of eating a dead human.

It was like a father and daughter moment, a father who's trying to force his child to eat vegetables. But this wasn't an average father-daughter moment, it was an experienced demon trying to feed you something so that you won't die. Even though he obviously knows that you'd rather die than eat the people you once swore to protect.

How was he so casual in even presenting that dead body? Was he out of his mind? What if you actually gave into his attempts and actually ate that disgusting human flesh? Of course you couldn't kill him, that's the reason why you're a demon in the first place. Because you couldn't kill him.

Wow, what a nice way to remind yourself about how weak you are.

"I'll fucking eat human foods, fucking bastard. Don't ever present a dead body to me ever again."

"M'kay~"

•••

Douma snickered at how your face expressed disgust for the food you once liked as a human, it was as if your preferences have changed after becoming a demon. Was that even possible? Even when you remember everything?

"You've got to be kidding me" you let out a whine of frustration.

How was this happening? If only you weren't reckless that day and actually thought about yourself rather than presenting your weak self to an uppermoon who had the audacity to change you into one of them instead of killing you. Because as far as you have learned, they do kill those who refuses to be one of them. So why did he made a fuss about making you a demon?

Your frustrated expression was enough to make the uppermoon laugh, Douma loves to see how frustrated you can get with him throughout the day. He just love seeing you suffer, it amuses him at some point.

"Now, do you want a taste of human flesh?" the uppermoon ask in delight, painfully aware that you'd snap at him once more if he dare mention that again.

"I don't want to" you refused his offer.

Douma only smiled at you before giving a shrug, "Don't say that I started you. Because I already offered you food earlier."

"Whatever you say."

The demon slayer corpse felt like a dead organization for everyone except a certain serpent pillar. They were gathered for an important meeting earlier regarding your whereabouts, since Oyakata-sama decided that it was better to look for you first before actually giving up. No one actually knows if you're alive, a demon, or maybe dead. That's why he wanted to be sure that you're just there somewhere, or at least bring your dead body back to the headquarters to give you a proper funeral if you were actually dead.

You were special for the cursed leader of the corps, it was something they know the moment you stepped into the organization. Oyakata-sama somehow found something in you that had brought him to this point.

"But what if she's actually a demon now?" Mitsuri ask the others in fear and devastation, the thought of killing a friend because she became a demon made her want to vomit.

Giyuu on the other hand glanced at Shinobu to see her reaction, but it was only that gentle smile she always put on her face. He couldn't help but look away for a moment to think.

Shinazugawa though only scoffed at the question, "I just want to see her well. If she becomes a demon then what choice do we have?"

"Can't she become like that Kamado kid's sibling?" Tengen tried to suggest, but the others looked at him as if it's going to be impossible.

Gyoumei shook his head, "Namu-Amidabutsu."

Rengoku was quick enough to pat Mitsuri on the shoulder for assurance, "Don't worry. [First Name] might actually be alive, and hopefully not a demon."

"What.. What was this all about again?" Tokito voiced out, though it was more of a confused question.

Now all was left is for Iguro to speak out his thoughts, despite not being pressured to do so. He only gave them a distant look and sighed, not even bothering to comment on the situation to save his butt.

"If she can actually become like Nezuko, or Tamayo. Maybe we can take care of her" the love pillar's hopeful thought made the others shake their head.

If you turn out to be like Nezuko's case, then maybe.

Maybe they can actually save you.
