Scars Of Love | Iguro Obanai

28

"It's a shame to waste such a demon slayer like you" Douma mocked " But what can I say? If only you weren't a brat, I would have given you the opportunity to become one of us. "

His shards didn't go to waste at all when it all landed on Mitsuri again, Douma wasn't going to give her a good time after being the reason of your suffering along with Iguro who tried to save the love pillar from his attacks. Only for Obanai to fail when Douma's blood demon art took a lot of time and effort, shards after shards, chaos after chaos.

This uppermoon isn't going to stop anytime soon.

...

You didn't totally left the area when you went on your own way after talking to the two of them, you simply stood near a distance since you noticed Douma approaching where Iguro and Mitsuri are. As much as you want to pry, you didn't want them to see how an uppermoon recognize you so much that he gives you endearments. He is Douma after all, people couldn't understand him and so you are you.

But her ear piercing screams made you stand there with a heavy heart. Of course, Mitsuri have been your rival for Obanai's love but it didn't mean that you'd want her to suffer so much for something that she doesn't have any control of. Looking up at the sky full of thoughts, you noticed how the moon is almost down which meant that you and Douma who isn't finished with whatever he's trying to do will be cooked if the both of you will stay here.

Whatever, if he dies here then I'm out.

You didn't even bother anymore and went to your way back to his home as if it was yours in the first place and not his, your footsteps frantic but swift as you sprint back. Douma would know what to do back there, you didn't have to worry about an uppermoon. In fact, why would you even worry about it? You should be happy if he were to become ashes, he's still a demon after all even if he gave you a place to live in– which is his literal estate.

Even if you're a demon yourself, you'd do anything to eliminate them in the right time. You just have to be careful and learn about your blood demon art, or if you could still use your breathing style. Can you? Maybe, but that isn't confirmed yet, you'll know later on.

And hopefully without any fail, you can kill all of them.

...

Leap after leap, dodge after dodge. Obanai did what he could just to avoid Douma's offense with a narrowed gaze, his breathing technique weren't enough to nullify his attack as it still did an impact to him. Mitsuri was left on the ground helpless but still awake despite all of the shards that pierced her, she was strong to even be awake with those fatal injuries. Well, it's the reason that she's a pillar after all. To endure such pain as this.

But this is too much, too painful that even Obanai can feel how much she suffers as she lay there helpless and crying. Even at a serious time like this, Mitsuri can still be a crybaby. Which is annoying to Douma but he simply ignored the love pillar and focused on Iguro with a dark grin.

"You know" Douma started, his head up looking at the sky.

"If it were to be night all the time, I would do what I can to torture you and that woman. I do not eat men but I will devour every single bit of you until I can see why she loves you so much."

More shards went on Iguro's way " But alas, life is so hard on demons that I have to end this fight so early."

Upon hearing that, Iguro's eyes widen in realization. Douma is going to escape now and he didn't even impale him even a bit, and the sun is almost up? He didn't even notice the time.

Iguro took this opportunity to dodge his attack and warp towards Mitsuri in an instant, but sadly for him Douma had other plans. The shards that he dodged earlier unexpectedly followed him to her which made him raise his blade to stop it from piercing through him.

"Strong" Douma chirped as he grinned "But you will be dead the moment I learn more about you."

Iguro's eyes glared at the undefeated demon before him, full of anger and despair. How could he do that to Mitsuri? It was unacceptable. However, he's glad that they weren't dead or else the others would only find their dead body instead of yours.

Speaking of you.

Where are you even after all this time? And the lotus Douma has been talking about, is it you?

He watched as Douma finally stepped on the ground after fighting them both in the air, the uppermoon still had this shit eating grin in which Iguro wanted to wipe off. But he couldn't do anything, not in this state. This is never the right time to fight back, he needs help. Mitsuri needs help.

With that, he found himself carrying the girl he loved and looked for the other pillars who are still searching for whatever is left of you. He'd tell them that they saw you, or should he?

Obanai's mind is filled with thoughts, wonders on how did you even end up in an uppermoon's care. Or is he just overthinking everything? And why did Douma even took revenge for you? Did you get into his mind to the point that you'd tell Douma to strike them both when Mitsuri didn't even do anything?

He couldn't help but feel more hatred towards you, how dare you. How dare you hurt Mitsuri using a literal uppermoon.

His thoughts were interrupted when Mitsuri's grip tightened on his haori, his eyes looked down on her helpless figure.

"Iguro..san"

"Was that.. uppermoon.. talking about [First Name]?"
