Renascence (M.K)

Her hand shrouded the blood from escaping further on her wet wound. A bad laceration on her right arm inflicted a painful sting as the blood spread over on her slender fingers.

She hold her breath and take a step back away. Her body was pressed against the wall, entirely trapped whilst Ryuta teasingly walk nearer into her body until they were already half a meter close together.

The recently turned demon narrowed his baneful amber eyes. He flew his own hand and brushed his fingers over the woman's cheek, earning for the noble court lady's breath to tremble.

He leaned towards Koharu's ear before licking his wet lips.

"I can smell your blood."

"It elates me, my lady." His voice sounds lull yet the fear continued to rolled over on Koharu's skin.

"In a matter of seconds my teeth can gnash your flawless skin, how'd you like that?" He chafed, eyes glinting with sly amusement as danger crept on the every detailed words he speaks.

Koharu cannot utter anything whilst she hopelessly turned over her head to the side, avoiding looking into Ryuta's sick gaze.

His breath fanned into her cheek, making Koharu shiver and pause her short breathes again.

"I have been a very good servant to you. Well, you don't know that." He muttered and still did not received a response from the noble woman.

"I had obeyed all of your orders even though I know it will risk my life. How sweet of me." The end tone of his voice turned sarcastic and Ryuta released a jester laugh.

He slowly drummed his sharp fingers on Koharu's neck and inhaled sharply.

"After all these years of my loyal service to you, do you think I made a good job?" He demanded and clenched his jaw tightly, showing his grimace but the silent response and the whimpering of court lady immediately irritated the male demon, making him sighed in an exasperated manner.

With no warning, he thumped his fist on the wooden wall - an inches close to Koharu's face. A large hole manifested on the wall and the woman right away widen her eyes with fear, tears shed down on her eyes whilst she choked down the scream on her mouth.

"Answer me!" Ryuta hollers straight to the court lady's face as her body involuntarily shivered and no longer suppressing the whimpers she makes.

"Y-Yes." She squeaked and another tear fell off from her cheek.

"Y-You are the indelible swordsman of this clan, Ryuta-san." With her lips shaking, she forced her terrified voice to say its compliments.

"My father is a fool for not realizing this before."

"H-How fool of him for choosing Taoshu over you." She breathlessly said and Ryuta's face lit with appeasement. Just like what he have already expected to be said by the noble woman entrap by his tight grip.

"And what else?" Ryuta softly giggled like a child and yank up her chin up so she could perfectly face him and there's nothing the woman could do but only drowned herself with fear.

"I.. I am deeply in dept with you, all of my life." She reluctantly told him whilst her mind kept on engulfed with enormous questions from the sudden appearance of this already been said a 'dead man.'

'Right, this is completely impossible! Even Muzan-sama himself have already said he have dispatch of this spurious man,'

'But why is he still alive?!' Koharu angrily asked though her mind. Her hazel eyes stared against to those limp amber ones. The inquiries she wanted to be answered were left hanging within herself whilst her immobilized hands were resting beside her lap, clutching into a ball of fist.
