He then proceeded to walk closer and handed [name] her share of his hunt. [name] then smiled in response as she grabbed hold of the poor victim of Kokushibo's hunt, and proceeded to absorb him.

Yet, the entire time, Kokushibo's eyes were solely on [name].

And that's when things were starting to change.

He watched her lips curled up into a smile still as she looked up to him. She was so beautiful to Kokushibo. He soon placed his two large hands on her face and caressed her cheeks. [name] then blinked a few times her gradient dark blue ocean eyes, and soon smiled when Kokushibo bend down to her height.

"What are you doing?" she asked, and Kokushibo decided not to answer. He then removed his hands from her face and proceeded to enter the wisteria house, for the sun was about to rise. He then stopped when he noticed [name] wasn't moving at all, and turned to look.

"The sun is coming up," he spoke out, and [name] hummed in response. He then hid in the shade as he watched her, still not moving away from the sunlight that was coming her way quickly.

"Aren't you going to move? You're going to burn," he spoke out, and [name] smiled in response, and soon stood up. Her toes burning slightly from the sunlight and she turned to walk into the shade, recovering from the little burns she suffered from.

"Why would you do that? It's painful," he commented.

"I just wanted to see the sunrise," she said with a smile, and Kokushibo found her interesting once more, and the way her pale lips still remained with a smile on her face, he pulled her into the wisteria house and carried her up with ease.

"Kokushibo-san?" [name] called out, and Kokushibo laid her down on the futon that was still usable after being washed by [name] herself. He then sat down beside her as she was about to doze off into a slight slumber, and Kokushibo then allowed himself, to have a small smile appearing on his face.

"You're kind of cute," he whispered out as he placed a hand on [name]'s head and brushed her brown bangs out of her head. He then stopped when he noticed [name]'s smile getting wider, and she slowly opened her gradient dark blue ocean eyes once more.

"Thank you," she said with a smile, and Kokushibo immediately turned to look away instead.

It was official at that point, that Kokushibo decided, nobody else could have the Upper Moon Five, even if it's his own Master.

He watched as the Upper Moon Five was in a deep slumber, unsure how she could sleep so well despite being alone with him. Yet, he could hear the sounds of someone running towards the wisteria house, and he waited.

For he knew, that [name] had cast upon an illusion surrounding the house, allowing the silly demon slayers to get baited and enter the humble hideout of the Upper Moon Demons.

He watched as the door slid opened, and there stood a rather surprised looking group of demon slayers. They entered the wisteria house carefully, and soon their eyes laid upon Kokushibo and [name], who was sound asleep in her futon.

"Is this a rest stop?" one of the demon slayer asked, and upon that question, the door behind them immediately slammed shut. They quickly brought out their nichirin blades and pointed straight at Kokushibo, who then brought out his own nichirin flesh blade.

"U-Upper Moon..." one of them whispered and started to quiver in fear right before the Upper Moon One Demon. They then watched as [name] stirred in her sleep and soon sat up, yet their eyes widened at how beautiful she looked.

"S-She's the Upper Moon Five Demon!" one of them pointed out the moment they saw the kanji letters in her eyes. She then smiled as she placed her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands while she watched the poor demon slayers quivering in fear.
