A/n:

    I know this isn't important but, Its funny to think that after I just finished watching Yukihira no soma season 5 last month, its a coincidence that my TLE lesson in first grading will be all about 'Egg' dishes. And I suddenly remember all of the egg dishes prepared in the anime and was so tempted to cook all of it.  Why does it have to be only 5 seasons!? I waited for 4 years for the anime to be completed, like wut? I need More. Literally, I dream to become a chef but watching Shokugeki no soma, I know I'm not on their level, when it comes to cooking. 😭.

By the way, I published a new book called "Anime various x reader" well not much but pls check it out on my profile. I also take request on that book. As long as the character will be under those anime I listed there.

Don't be afraid to tell me if this chapter doesn't make sense or it doesn't connect on the previous chapter. Cause it was actually what I felt when I published this at 3:30 am.

*this is just my reference of u to this story, you can redesign to be in ur preferred look (๑¯ω¯๑)👍

3rd person POV

     "(Beep) this ain't getting me anywhere." You mumbled as your fan cover half of your face while your eyes roam around the place lost in thought.

'The sudden uneasiness I felt when I enter this village, what was the cause? The mysterious guy watching from his window, who is he? The "master" that the fem demon talking about, was it connected to that guy?' You let out a frustrated sigh with all the things swarming around your mind is getting nowhere but mere assumptions.

   Sighing once more you decided to stop thinking for it once and looked up to the dark sky above. It was already pass midnight and it seems luck wasn't on your side to begin with. In fact, you were already thinking from the start if this place was actually meant for travellers and not a red light district or some sort with a brothel house placed hidden here and there.

  'Guess I should meet up with the others for now.' You thought sighing folding up your fan, but before you could even take a step forward, a middle age man came up to you.

  "E-excuse me miss." He said catching your attention. You remain calm spreading your fan once again and cover half of your face looking at the said man.

"Yes, can I help you?" You asked, although your tone was soft your eyes were icily cold sending shiver at the person's spine when he made eye contact with you.

  "U-uhm well you see," he trailed off as he frantically explain his business with you.

Meanwhile, Douma who's sitting by his window as usual can't help but grin wide as he watch you conversing with the owner of the brothel house he's currently in from afar.

  'Now then, let's see who you are to those demon slayers.' He thought, unconsciously licking his lips while looking forward to what you can offer later before his attention went back to the entertainment happening inside his quarters.

   On the other hand, Sanemi and Genya were roaming around the place either trying to look for you or the demons lurking around the perimeter, that is when Sanemi cross path with the least person he wanted to see the most.

  "Oi, what the (beep) are you doing here?" Sanemi asked with a frown just by seeing the water pillar who just stood quiet on his place for a moment before speaking.

  "I'm on my way back from my own mission when I stumble upon this village." Was his short reply before silence followed.

   "I also met a women wearing a bea- kimono and a Phoenix hairpin, saying I should stay a little longer saying she may need my help. She also said if I happen to meet the Shinazugawa's I could ask you about her." He added, his stoic expression never waver.

  The corner of Sanemi's mouth twitch hearing Giyuu's claim. Sure he don't like this guy but if you said something like that surely it's important. Even though you two just met, seeing how diligent and perceptive you are earlier in the forest, he knew you had a plan of your own.

   Therefore, even its against his pride and ego, he had to comply and answer Giyuu's question.

"Tch, you can (beep)ing ask later. Tell me where did she went after seeing you." Sanemi replied with a scowl and Giyuu was taken aback by the sudden change as eyes slightly widen in surprise. He surely didn't expect that kind of reply, well he expected for Sanemi to curse.

  He could only nod before walking to where he guess you're heading to.

   Genya who's just watching the scene unfold from the sideline couldn't believe of what he saw and his jaw nearly fell to the ground. Usually, he always heard that his brother and the water pillar are not in good terms in the first place. So the scene he saw was quite shocking.

   Probably, your presence and way of thinking may have influenced Sanemi, and actually gain his trust and acknowledgement in a short period of time. He was kinda glad tho, knowing his brother is changing for the better. Like earlier, he was expecting his brother to say something harsh the moment you left, but received nothing at all. In fact Sanemi's secretly kept Genya in check to see he wasn't into trouble at all.

He gave off a small unnoticeable smile before following them.

.......

   "Is that so?" You asked the sweating man before you. He have told you that he's recruiting you to work on his brothel cause one of his costumer took interest in you and at first you scoff out saying you don't want to, but upon further explanation of the man, you realize he was the owner of the building where you saw the mysterious man were located.

    Having a thought over it,  you agreed as it was your goal here the moment you step foot of this village,  'perfect timing.' You thought as you notice the familiar albino head of Sanemi and unruly hair of Giyuu and the uniform at the corner of your eyes coming your way.

  "Alright then, I agree." The man eyes lit up for a moment before leading you the way.

  "Come this way pls.' The man in front said as you followed him from behind, knowing the direction you were taking is the exact  opposite as the three Demon slayers heading to.

   Genya quickly notice you due to your attire before silently calling the attention of the two pillars beside him.

   You move the fan from your face to the right side and gave them the look that says, 'Don't stare at me, you're giving away my position'. The three caught on what your implementing as the two brothers remember your words at them earlier as they looked away from you but still glued on their spot.

   As you walked passed Giyuu, you immediately whispered something in his ear to lessen suspicions for the demons who's possibly lurking nearby and didn't dare to spare a glance at them as you only hope, Giyuu caught on what you mean.

*****

    "Pardon me." A knock came from the other side of the door on Douma's room before it slide open revealing the brothel owner and you.

     Douma's smile widen more than it could ever be when he's eyes fixated on you. Even with the fan covering half of your face, he could tell your exact expression behind it and your impression shows you're an independent women. Completely different from what he thought when you're around those demon slayers.

   "I have brought what you want sir, I'll excuse myself." With that quick statement, the owner scurried away from the room, closing the door in the process leaving you and the man with a large grin in eerie silence.

......
Meanwhile

   "Oi, are you sure that's the place she's talking to?" Sanemi asked Giyuu as they look at the building across them, which they can tell with all the fancy decoration, and faint *cough*noise*cough*, its a brothel.

    "Hm." Giyuu hummed and nodded as he go over the words you whispered.

----

'Trail my path a place connected with mystery, conceal thy presence and heed my warning that'll come. A devil will bare its fangs.'

----

      He may not be good in poetry but he understood what you're implying which lead them to be in the opposite building across the place where you are now.

Luckily the peoples in the street lessen 'till there's no longer people around this time of the night.

"We'll just wait for any kind of signal she's going to send?" Genya asked as he look through the window of the the secluded part of the building they're hiding, distracting himself of thinking what kind of thing was happening inside that building.

  (A/N: I don't know, why I wrote that about Genya my hands just typed it. 😐)

......

     For the passed minute of being left in a such an awkward silence with a man wearing blood red turtle neck with the section between his neck and upper chest is covered with black substance that looks like its dripping down his body. The same design repeated on his wrist, below this, he wore a pair of straight tan-colored pants of pinstriped design along with pale green tinged golden belt buckle with a bright silver.

  No one spoke a word between you two for a whole minute as you just stood there.

   You won't take the risk to expose your actual plan and identity by speaking without knowing he's actual intentions as you could practically smell the faint metallic scent of blood inside the very room you are in.

  After a while of silence knowing I wouldn't speak anytime soon, he finally broke the silence.

  "Hello, My name's Douma. (A/n: i don't know if he sometimes uses different name when he's ya know hunting women to eat?) So may I know your name, miss?" He asked.

You quietly cleared your throat and bow before speaking. "My name's Aki, its a pleasure to meet you. Douma-san." You said altering the tone of your speech (A/n:Yagami Yato anyone? ;3) from original to more feminine. To you its a unique talent of the real (y/n) that you just discovered two months prior and it took nearly a whole month to progress and copy any kind of voice.

       A great talent that you can use to your advantage in several ways and reasons.

Douma hummed to your reply with a smile as you two locked eyes, and you couldn't help but be fascinated by his rainbow colored eyes.

  "Why stand there? You can sit here." He said motioning you to come and sit on his lap. (A/n: I can't grasp the characters personality! Help!). "My, my, how much experience you've had with womens?" You questioned with light flirty tone.

  Sure you did this several times when spying a countless millionaire and ordered you to sat on their laps but this situation you are in is, kinda off.

   A little bit hesitant, you complied. Upon taking three step forward, you felt another presence approaching by the door.

"Come on don't be so quiet." Douma said at you and you saw a glimpse of his fangs.

   All your doubts and questions is starting to clear up, you only need one thing. One clue that will prove your suspicions to be true. That until,

"Pardon my intrusion Master."

   You heard a very familiar voice that you hears back inside the forest where you were and the shinazugawa's were attacked. Just then, you glued all the pieces together.

'It's now or never.' You thought. Before the door could slid open, you swiftly  reach out to your swords you hid down your kimono before unsheathed the purple one and holding the other sword on your left hand. Douma's eyes widen for a split second, however he already knew what will happen next as he instantly blocked your upcoming attack with his sharp fans.

A the same time, the door had slid open revealing the one you most expected to be.

  'I knew it! But (beep) I underestimated this situation.' You thought as you jump backwards throwing a knife at the demon by the door and was impaled at her throat.

"Agh! You-" The demon took the knife out her throat as she looked at you in anger. At first she couldn't recognize you but with the Phoenix hairpin keeping your (h/s) steady gave your identity away, she instantly knew you were the one who she met at the forest.

"My, I didn't notice you were a demon slayer Aki." Douma complimented as he look at you with the look of surprise.

"I praise your talent. No demon slayers have gotten closer to strike me like what you did. You really caught me by surprise." He added with carefree expression.

You pay no mind at what he's said as you're already thinking a way how to notify your companions.

"Sorry but I have no use of your praises." You replied taking a step back.

"You're courting death by disrespecting him!" The demon beside Douma yelled as you roll your eyes.

"I want to ask you, Douma. Who are you? You strength is incomparable to any other demon I've fought." You questioned gripping the swords in your hands.

According to the information you milked out of Taro(😗✌), the stronger demon next to 'Muzan' are the twelve kizuki's or yet the Upper moons. The upper moons were hard and near impossible to defeat by any ordinary demon slayer and only the pillars can.

The way Douma stop your attack without any hint of effort had already fall onto the category. Also, the strength of an upper demon and a normal demon is far too wide.

"Hmm. Then allow me to tell you my real status," Douma sighed out.

He surely couldn't just block your attack like nothing earlier, unless....

"I'm one of the twelve kizuki's. I'm the Upper moon 2, Douma."

'Well sh*t'
