Chapter 25: Reunion (再会)

The upper moons. They rule the darkness, and walk the night.

Every upper moon demon that is now gathering, since gods knows when makes signs of extreme trouble.

"Well, well, Akaza. Dear me, how've you been after ninety years?" Upper moon five Gyokko says.

"The mere possibility of you dying made my heart leap with jo—cough cough! Made my heart cringe in pain" he said.

A demon then appears from the stairs.
"This is quite terrifying. Gyokko has forgotten how to count during our long absences. We haven't been called here for a hundred and thirteen years. An indivisible number, an unlucky number, an odd number! Terrifying indeed" upper moon four Hantengu says.

Akaza turns his attention to the biwa woman.
"Has lord Muzan arrived yet?"

"He has not"
"Then where is upper moon one and zero? There's no way those two would be killed"

"Hold up! Hold up! Hold on a minute, Akaza-dono! Aren't you going to show some concern for me? I was super worried for you guys. You're my precious buddies, so I don't want aaanyone here to wane out"

Upper moon two Douma puts his arm around Akaza.

"Hyo! Douma-dono..."
"Hey, hey, long time no see Gyokko. Is that a new pot? It's so pretty. The pot you gave me is in my room. I planted a girl's severed head in it" he says.

"You can't grow severed heads...but I like the idea"
"I know, you should come visit next time!"

"Move it" Akaza said.
"Hm?"
"Move your arm" Akaza threatens Douma and hits his mouth. Blood splattering on the floor.

"Eeep!"
"Whoa. Hm, nice punch there! Did you get stronger since we last met, Akaza-dono?"

Douma regenerates his mouth fast.

Akaza gets even more pissed off by Douma.
"Upper moon one and zero was the first to arrive. They have been here this whole time" the biwa woman says

Akaza was surprised and feels O'ren's presence from behind.

"Oh yes, I have been here. Alive, well, strong...hello everyone" she says with a soft smile.

"Ah, lady O'ren so beautiful, so majestic. Ah, lady O'ren please spoil me!" Douma says.

O'ren ignored Douma and looks at Akaza.
"Akaza, you look surprise? For a moment there you looked upset, my dear?" She said.

Akaza looks at O'ren. As he could was trying to see through her loving illusion.

Like Douma, but she at least shows emotion, and expresses it. She just didn't care about anyone else, other than Muzan.

But any demon who pleases her, is lucky enough to be grasped and caressed by her own warmth. That is if she allowed it.

And if a demon was lucky to be touched by her, even for something so small, it would be pure bliss.

Known facts about her is that she loved playing games with people. Tricking them, and messing with whatever chance she's got with them.

Before feasting on them, she practically feeds off of their misfortune and despair first. Basically anything bad happening to others and not her, of course.

"No...my lady"
O'ren looks straight into his eyes.
"...hm...Kokushibo, I'm so glad you could join us" she turns, looking at upper moon one Kokushibo sitting on the tatami floor.

"I...am here...lord Muzan...has arrived" he said.

Muzan was upside down, working on his experiment and writing down on his notebook.
