Author's note: Sorry for not updating in a while. I got a new phone which is what I use Wattpad on and forgot my password. 😂 So Sorry for not updating! :) Have a nice read continuing.

The male pushed you in the building. You turned back trying to see if Kaigaku was following, but he wasn't.

"So could you explain to me what... ehm, Eternal Paradise is?" The man nodded eagerly, he looked quite young, maybe in his 20s. He had parted black hair and very light brown eyes. "Of course! Well him, our leader helps us with our sorrow."

"So like a cult, or a religion?" He shook his head, "I wouldn't call it a cult, others do. But to me, this is my religion. He is my god, he shows me towards the light in the dark. He takes my sadness away and replaces it with happiness!"

You nodded letting him lead you. He opened his hand showing you a bracelet with a multi colored orb on it with the kanji two. "When I showed him I made this bracelet for him, he wanted everyone in the group Eternal Paradise to have one. But I had to replace this bracelet multiple times. Like my brother has disappeared and so has my friend. I'm just giving you a warning, many people disappear."

You both stopped at a room, "So It's normal for people to disappear here?" He nodded, "Here, in this room it has all our kimono, all of it is the same design."

You walked in grabbing a kimono. 'I have a bad vibe here.' You decided to change out of your demon slayer uniform due to being in disguise. But of course you had to hide your sword incase something was to happen..

You walked out, the male clapped excitedly. "Excuse me, but you haven't told me your name." He lead you throughout the halls. "My name is Kenshintekina Shinja."

"I'll just call you Shinja, my name is (L/n)." Shinja walked throughout the halls, "Is it just (L/n)? So no like other name like you don't have a surname , or middle?" You acted like you didn't hear him, "So is there other new members?"

Shinja nodded, "Yeah the other just arrived today too! So today we're having a feast, then tomorrow you will meet him!" "Oh, who's him?" Shinja pats your back, "I told you, our god. But here's the dinner room. Everyone should be arriving shortly. We don't have female members for long though so I hope you stay. I hear they leave the group the next day. Well make yourself comfortable, I'll be helping the others set up the food."

You nodded, looking around you saw multiple people in the same blue kimono as you, all of them male. Hearing the door open and laughter you turned towards it. "Here we are kid. The dining room! Here we should meet the other member. Right there! And it's a female." You saw the older guy elbow the kid next to him, but you couldn't really see who it was due to other members running by setting up.

"Go sit by her, since this feast is in honor of you both!"

You waited for a bit wondering who it was, the chair was pulled out.

"What's with this place?"

"Kaigaku?" He sat down, his kimono was open enough to show his chest, like how his demon slayer uniform was. "They made me change Into this stupid kimono."

"Hey how did you come in here?" Kaigaku lounged in the chair, "After I saw that guy bring you inside, someone opened the front doors. They looked excited and brought me in."

Seeing people start to sit around the table, it looked like there was around 200 people. "Hey, do you get like a vibe here. Like a bad-"

You were interrupted by Shinja standing in the middle of you and Kaigaku.

"May I get everyone's attention?!" Everyone quieted down and gave their attention to Shinja. He had his hand on each one of our shoulder, "Today as you heard we have two new members. And surprisingly, one is woman."

All of them stared at both you and Kaigaku before clapping suddenly.

Shinja smiled calmly at you as you looked up at him. "Well, let's start our feast!" Everyone cheered starting to pick out what they want for their meal.

Shinja sat next to you, Kaigaku shrugged as you looked at him confused. Kaigaku leaned forward to grab some food.

"Are you okay (L/n)-San?" "Yeah." "Well hurry up and eat before all the food is gone."

You leaned forward grabbing some food and placing it on your plate. Grabbing the chopsticks you ate the food. The design around the dinner tables were a type of lotus design. 'Isn't the lotus flowers associated with Buddhists?'

"So how are you (L/n)? Enjoying it?" You nodded, "I feel welcome here. Thank you." Shinja smiled, "How about you Kaigaku-San?" He shrugged, "Comfortable I guess."

"Well I guess you guys should both get some sleep since you are meeting him tomorrow!" Kaigaku got up, "So do we like have personal rooms or we share."

Shinja stood up, "Well since you are new you both could have personal rooms, or you could share a personal room." "Separate rooms." You interrupted Shinja wanted the silence of a room alone. "Actually together, we know each other personally." Kaigaku patted your back.

"Oh really?" Kaigaku nodded, "We we're coworkers at an old food cafe." Shinja 'oh'ed and continued his way. "Well here's your room. I'll be here at 5:00 PM sharp to bring you to meet him, since he prefers the night. Have a goodnight."

You closed the door, "I wanted a room to myself y'know." Kaigaku sat down setting up his futon. "We're on a mission remember. Tonight we won't be getting much rest, we'll explore this place for a bit, seems like they're hiding something."

You frowned , "Hey who put you in charge?" Kaigaku pulled out his katana from underneath his kimono. "No one was ever in charge, just because you're a pillar doesn't mean you're in charge. Plus do you even have a better plan." You nodded, "Get rest for sometime because we can't fight without energy."

Kaigaku frowned, "We literally just ate, we have energy now so let's go explore now." You groaned walking towards the bathroom. You undid your kimono pulling out your sword. Then redid your kimono walking out, "I'm ready then."

Kaigaku opened the door looking side to side making sure no one was near. "Clear." You followed silently behind him. Walking down the endless hall of doors one opened. You flinched looking for a place to hide finding a room labeled 'supply room', you pulled Kaigaku in.

"Someone's coming." You peeked through the small opening in door. Kaigaku rolled his eyes looking over you to see who it was. It was Shinja, not just him but he had basket in hand. It had sheets and clothing in it.

"Is he just cleaning?" Kaigaku leaned in closer, "Wait, there's something moving in the sheets." You took a closer look, "You're right, should we follow him?" Kaigaku nodded agreeing, you both silently followed him.

Shinja then turned a corner into a darker hall. You turned to find he was gone. "He's not here."

"What do you mean he's not here?" Kaigaku pushed you back so he could see and saw that you were correct. "Where is he?"

You heard a small cough. Kaigaku and you froze slowly turning around.

"I'm right here."
