Kentaro couldn't take it anymore after three weeks of it. Social media wouldn't shut the fuck up about how the famous Ladybird may be pregnant shortly after her disappearance. The concerns about the relationship were muted in his head.
He looks down at his hands, having gotten a brand new boxcutter for the occasion.
The man was bitter at the happiness he could have had with the woman who had far succeeded him in life already.
He breaks open the box.
—
Muzan had given him quite the allowance that when he made up his lie about how a distant relative had reached out to him and given him some money, he treated his love and friends out to dinner."Oi, why aren't you eating?" Akaza continues not to like him and he has to make his lies more believable.
"Douma doesn't really eat much, says he got into the habit after-" Oh his darling is once again defending him and it was adorable.
He wished he could do more. For now, he'll just try to stay on Akaza's good side.
Even when it means following him, or doing some late-night convenience store shopping. Both get a beer that Akaza opens instantly, chugging and finally, his shoulders relax.
"I hate you." Douma smiles politely when he says that and Akaza just points to him, beer can still in his hand.
"But ....You seem to genuinely care for Kotoha. She seems to love you even with this whole baby situation." Akaza doesn't make mention how he was potentially ruining her career with this development. That didn't stop Kotoha from loving him.
Even when her manager called the next day, asking why there were pictures going around.
She would sheepishly confess, leaning on his shoulder and him kissing the side of her head. Maki sighed deeply through the speaker and said she would call back once she figured out what to do with her new status.
Douma knew one thing for sure.
He was going to be sticky, and clingy. Kotoha didn't find him overbearing yet. Akaza would drag him out of the apartment, Koyuki saying 'it was boy time and girl time'. Whatever that meant Akaza preferred a drink in hand so he would avoid talking to Douma.
Douma would talk his ear off and only receive a punch or two in the gut that had him reacting like a human doubling over.
Acting for the past three weeks and no movements yet from the slayers.
Maybe they were in shock at seeing the progenitor of demons walking in the day like. Muzan wasn't pleased to learn slayers still exist and Douma would play the fake as his master pulled the real strings.
From what Douma knew, since he had gained immunity to the sun, his master didn't see a need to deal with new demons.
Though it was surviving demons from his bloodline that concerned Douma. Kuni had lived that night and he hadn't sensed her since.
He just knows she is gathering demons to go against him.
At least he has Muzan under him.
Despite everything, Douma smiles for a child arriving into the world is a joyous occasion.
"Yes, I do love Kotoha and I do hope to marry her soon." They are walking, taking a detour compared to normal. The alleyway is a spot where he'll probably make a kill in the future but not now.
Though Douma was interested in seeing what Akaza did to the one charging from behind his back. Only mildly reacting to the rapid steps he was hearing and seeing Akaza step forward, using a move to throw the man off his feet, a box cutter scratching his buddy on the cheek.
In a wild of limbs, Akaza isn't able to stop a stab to his back, a flinch telling Douma that one hurt.
Akaza snarls at the man he had pinned under him.
"WHAT THE FUCK, KENTARO!? DID YOU NOT LEARN LAST TIME?" Oh? Is there something that made his best buddy more furious than he had?
Douma fakes tension and is by Akaza's side, not even using a percentage of his strength to hold the man down.
"Hakuji, Who's this?" This Kentaro person was struggling more, his box cutter dropped and Douma spotted something odd on the blade.
Like it had been dipped in something. From the smell of it, it was poison.
Oh dear.
Rainbow eyes look to Akaza whose face is more red than before and he coughs up blood, still, he grinds his teeth while holding down the man.
"Kotoha's ex-boyfriend. He had tried to force himself on her." Kentaro snaps at Akaza, whose human strength was failing as for some reason the stab wound hurt more than it should have.
Good thing Douma was here.
Kentaro would feel pressure on his shoulder before feeling it dislocate and he shouts out in pain.
"MOTHERFUCKER, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!" He had dipped the box cutter in rat poison and everything, Kotoha would have lost her lover and miscarried because of it. But now that plan has gone up in flames.
Eyes are blank as they begin to glow and Akaza is shaking violently, the poison beginning to take effect till he can't hold on any longer.
That's fine, Douma looks around, the alleyway is a corridor of straight walls, and no witnesses to what's about to be done.
—
Hakuji has never felt this weak in his life and yet he reaches up, hoping to find anything to throw at Kentaro as vengeance for killing him. His jaw was clenching as he thought about many things in his life.Why did he defend that idiot?
"-kuji~"
Kotoha will do just fine with Douma.
"Haku-~"
Kami, why didn't he marry Koyuki yet?
"Hakuji~" Why the fuck did Douma sound like that?
Hakuji forces his eyes open, Douma kneeling beside him, smiling like a psychopath not at all concerned he was dying.
Why hadn't he called the police yet?
Why isn't he holding Kentaro down?
Did he not fear the man stabbing him as well?
"Hakuji~, do you want to live?" Hakuji coughs up more blood and nods.
He wants to live and kick Kentaro's and then Douma's ass.
The dumbass was grinning and from his blurred vision, he sees fangs, eyes glowing bright and what the fuck does Uppermoon Two mean? Why was it in his eyes?
Douma raises his hand to his mouth, giving it a mighty chomp before letting go. Blood was dripping down and into his parted mouth.
—
For a second nothing happened, Douma was only mildly curious about whether the transformation would take long. He looks back to where his ice clones held a terrified Kentaro down.
Then he heard a thump of a heart beat and then it sped up and Douma laughed as he was tackled down and his eyes covered, upper half of his head smashed in. His mouth still worked and he spread his arms out.
"Akaza-dono~!"
The hand removes itself and he finds the demon glaring at him, shaking to the core as his human coloring fades away to those familiar colors.
Fists curl and fangs are shown in a snarl as Douma is grabbed once more, Akaza picking him up by his throat and growling at him.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
Douma like that one dude in Sonic 2:HE'S BACK!!

Thoughts?What do you think is going to happen next?
