Scars Of Love | Iguro Obanai

33

"And what could have been the mission for those two?" Tengen mindlessly ask as he watch his co-pillars walk the same path as him.

Rengoku glanced at him while walking with a kind smile forming on his lips "I guess it's about [Last Name]. If not, then we wouldn't know. We could just ask them if needed too."

"Yeah" Sanemi mindlessly agrees "Kanroji would probably spill their mission without any thoughts at all, it's just her nature."

They knew what the mission would be. Knowing Kagaya, he'd dig into the issue more to learn something and plan ahead. But the question is, why weren't they included? Why was Obanai even picked for that matter? He doesn't even like your presence, let alone tolerates you when you're around. The serpent pillar is allergic of you, sadly.

Tengen's gaze look at the direction of Kagaya's home with a hint of curiosity, whatever was their master's plan might be. They just hope for the better, Kagaya is a smart man after all.

The pillars continue to move and go on to their separate ways, informing one another as they part but still having the same thoughts as they left.

...

Muzan glared down at Douma and the others, he wasn't in the mood to have a silly chit chat with his upper moons knowing that a former pillar is under Douma's care and is not in the right path according to his judgement of what a true demon should be.

"That girl" he grumbled "What is your use if you can't have her out and about? Train her"

Douma was yet to raise his head and answer, his master wasn't in a good mood but in order to please him. He'll just have to use his pretty little words to console the angry demon lord. His rainbow coloured eyes gazed at his master without a fright as he smile.

"But she isn't going to let me do that" Douma answered him truthfully "My Lord, she is the kind of woman to do things secretly. I have learned of this after observing her during her stay in my place."

Muzan raise a brow at this "And you did not do anything to change her?"

His question made the uppermoon two giggle, Muzan was definitely eager enough to make you as one of his minions. Douma could see that, but he won't say that. Not in a million years.

"How can I gain her trust then if I force her into things that she doesn't want?" he ask, his eyes looking into Muzan's with innocence as if he was some child waiting for his father to give him some sweets.

"Lotus is a worrywart, she think things through and is good at observing whatever you do. So I don't think forcing her to do whatever my Lord pleases will make her submit immediately, that is why I'm doing nothing to make her believe that I am different."

A small but satisfying smirk appears on Muzan's face, "What a plan. And if this fails?"

"My Lord. Why would this fail?" Douma grins back "She is a pillar, of course she would be wary of us as we are their mortal enemies after all. "

"I am doing this to free her mind that I am like all of you, if she trusts me. Then I can inject such ideas in her mind, poison her thoughts until she can become whatever you please my Lord. "

As if.

This made Muzan him in thought, he didn't realize that Douma could be this smart until now. Even if he always has something to annoy the demon Lord, Douma always did what was told without any failure. Muzan was right about his decision of making him upper moon two.

"Very well" he said "Then I assume you have everything under control."

Douma nodded "Yes, my Lord. Everything is under control, trust me."

Whatever his plan was, Muzan is anticipating it. If this could lead him to that blue spider Lily, to that perfection. Then he'd do anything, anything to reach that perfection. It doesn't matter what it takes, or who to trust. As long as he's within reach of his dream, then he doesn't have to worry about whatever.

"Discussion dismissed, see to it that I will be checking on updates regarding that woman. I'm counting on you with this one Douma, do not disappoint me."

The said demon grin at his Lord in confidence "When did I disappoint you my Lord?"

"Smart question"

With that, Muzan left his uppermoons behind without any farewell. It was as if they were just called there to listen whatever Muzan told Douma, or did he just forgot about mentioning some details to the rest?

It was Akaza who glanced at the grinning demon with suspicion, not that he suspects Douma in any way. But there was something different at how confident the uppermoon two is being, how was he even so sure about his plan? Even Akaza had doubts at how it'll turn out, you were a pillar after all. Douma shouldn't underestimate your potential, especially when he just read you so easily.

Shouldn't he be wary of how open your life was to him? How vulnerable you are? There must be something you're up to, Akaza just knew it.

On the other hand, Douma finally notice how Akaza has been staring at him mindlessly. His grin widens as his hand pats Akaza on the shoulder.

"My my Akaza-dono~" Douma called in a sing-song voice "Am I that handsome to you? You've been staring for a while now"

"Fuck off"

Douma chuckled at Akaza's aggressive behavior, as much as he wants to annoy him until Akaza punches his head off. He had other plans to do, so he waved his hand at Nakime.

"Hey biwa girl~ Mind if you send me home already? I have thing to do. If you want, you can come over to my place so we could-"

"Annoying."
