Chapter 14: The Smell of Enchanting Blood

People began gathering round them as the woman fell to the ground, her husband on top of her. They began yelling out things like, "What's going on?!" And "Blood!"

Nezuko rushed forward, pulling the cloth wrapped around her head off as she tackled the man off the woman and shoved it into his mouth.

"Dear!!" Shouted the woman, holding onto the deep bite wound in her shoulder, which was bleeding heavily.

"Ma'am!! Don't worry about him and take care of yourself!! Use this cloth and put pressure on the wound!" Yelled Nezuko as she pinned the man, who was growling, to the ground. It'll be alright! I'll handle it somehow! Her wound isn't fatal, so she'll be fine. This man hasn't killed anyone.. yet!!

"Amane, this is dangerous. Let's move away." Said Ubuyashiki as people chattered around him, Amane and their child.

No! No! I can't let this guy get away!! Nezuko thought. "KAGAYA UBUYASHIKI!! WHEREVER YOU GO, YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME!" Nezuko yelled furiously.

"Tsukihiko, what's wrong with that girl?" Asked Amane.

Ubuyashiki noticed Nezuko's earrings, his eyes widening as she continued yelling.

"I'LL FOLLOW YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND YOUR NECK WILL FEEL MY SWORD! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

Those earrings..

"You! What are you doing?!" Shouted a policeman as him and two other policemen pushed aside other civilians.

"Are they drunk?! Break it up!!" Another shouted.

"Step back! Step back! Move!!" They'd arrived where Nezuko and the man were, attempting to get the crowd of people to disperse.

"No! Handcuff him! Please!" Nezuko shouted as the policemen tried to pry Nezuko off the man. "Please, stop! I'm the only one who can subdue him!"

"AGH! What the...?! Look at his face! He's lost his mind!" One of the policemen exclaimed as they looked at the man's face.

"Get her off this guy!"

"Yessir!"

"STOP! I don't want this person to kill anyone!! Don't interfere! Please!!" Nezuko yelled, refusing to get off him.

Scent of Illusory Blood, Visual Dream!

Suddenly, Nezuko could smell something unusual as a floral pattern began surrounding her, making the policemen unable to see.

"You.. still use the word "person" for demons. And you try to help them." Said a pale man with lavender purple eyes with short hair that was neatly styled and vertically shaded from a dull and light green to black wearing a button-up collared shirt under an all-white iromuji-haori and dark blue Seigo-Sendeihira styled hakama pants. "So I shall help you."

Stood beside him, was a woman with long, dark brown hair, parted in the center and worn braided back into a large, low bun, which was held in place by a floral tama-kanzashi hairpin, and large eyes that didn't possess pupils, only a haze of lavender that faded to dark purple the higher it went wearing a dark purple medium-lengthed hōmongi kimono that was decorated with wavy pale purple tree branches and red flowers, and a cream-colored taiko musubi obi to secure it around her waist.

"Why?" Asked Nezuko. "You.. your scent.."

"I am a demon and also a doctor. I would also like to see Ubuyashiki obliterated." Said the man, both his tone and expression calm.

....

"Daddy, aren't you coming home?" Asked Ubuyashiki's 'daughter', Hinaki, who was currently being held by his 'wife', Amane.

"I've got to go to work. I have some meetings." Ubuyashiki answered. "I'm still disturbed by what we saw earlier."

"Dear.." Said Amane anxiously.

"It's all right. I'll just ask the police to keep watch," said Ubuyashiki.

Amane and Hinaki then went into the car and drove off while Ubuyashiki walked down an alleyway. In the alleyway were three people; two men, one presumably drunk with flushed cheeks and the other a much taller and bulkier man, and a woman with her hair braided to one side and wearing a kimono with a vine pattern.

Ubuyashiki slid past the three people. As he did, the presumably drunk man's hand bumped into Ubuyashiki's shoulder. Ubuyashiki stopped walking as the man rubbed his wrist.

"Oww.. what's your problem?" Said the man, continuing to rub his wrist with his other hand.

Ubuyashiki didn't respond for a moment. "My apologies." He said, then continued walking.

"Hey, wait!" Shouted the man, grabbing Ubuyashiki by the shoulders.

"Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry." Said Ubuyashiki.

"Hic. Hey, hey, those are some fancy duds you're wearin'! And I don't like it!" Exclaimed the man, pointing. "Hic. And with that pale face of yours.. you look half-dead!"

Ubuyashiki's eyes widened, red veins appearing as hid eyes became demonic. He whacked the man in the jaw, and he fell sideways, his head bonking the wall rather hard.

"Hey! What're you doin' to my little brother?!" Shouted the bulkier and taller man, walking over to Ubuyashiki and looming over him.

"He's dead! Ya-Chan's not breathing!" Cried out the woman, who was kneeling beside the now dead man.

Ubuyashiki kicked the man in the abdomen, causing him to shoot up into the air, blood splurting out of his mouth and splattering onto the woman as his body landed on the ground with a thud.

The woman flinched as Ubuyashiki loomed over her and spoke, his tone calm yet menacing as he stared at her. "Does my complexion look pale to you?" He asked as the woman trembled, sweat dripping down her face and her eyes wide. "Oh no, no, no, no.. I am an entirely different creature."

Ubuyashiki placed the tip of his finger on the woman's forehead and stabbed into it. "Do you know what will happen if I give you a large amount of my blood?" He queried as he pulled his finger out of the woman's forehead, blood dripping down from his fingertips. "The human body can not withstand the speed of transformation. Your cells will rupture." And with that, the woman's body became a blob, only her screaming mouth and a single eyeball could be visible as her blob of a body evaporated.

Ubuyashiki snapped his fingers, and two demons appeared. One was a young man by the name of Yahaba with pale, grey-tinted skin and short black hair wearing a plain olive-green kimono with a grey obi and a dark grey haori. The other was a pale-skinned woman called Susamaru who had bright yellow eyes with cat-like slits and white horizontal slats and black hair with orange-coloured hair wearing a pair of long silver earrings and an orange kimono that matched her hair with a black haori on top.

"We will do as you wish," said Susamaru.

"Bring me the head of the demon hunter with the earrings that look like hanafuda cards. Got it?" Demanded Ubuyashiki.
