Walking down the abandoned road (Y/n) finally arrived in front of the town's entrance as people pulled around yatai's, women talking amongst themselves, laughing and giggling. Food stalls were already open as people, young and old alike yelled out what products they had for sale. 

'Everything seems normal... well, it is still early daytime.' Smiling at his stupidity (Y/n) walked inside the town as the streets were filled to the brim with people walking, looking around and trying to see as to what they should purchase next. 

'What a wealthy town... nothing like the one back home,' Glancing to his right (Y/n) saw a man pulling a rickshaw with a woman on top of it, covering her face with a fan as her face was painted white. 'but still, really keeping a hold on tradition.' 

Walking around some more (Y/n) turned a corner only to bump into someone making him stumble back and try to regain his balance while the person in front of him stayed completely still. "Oh my... please do forgive me for bumping into you." A person, who (Y/n) assumed was a man due to his voice, bowed down in apology, his whole body covered as he tried to stay close by the shadows that the stores made. 

Ignoring this (Y/n) bowed back, "N-No problem, it was my fault for- Are you okay?" (Y/n) asked him, getting up from bowing as he saw the man begin to stumble, shying away further from the sun and closer towards the shadows of the street. "I-I'm fine, just a bit light-headed is all." The man answered him, only to stop walking and start falling to the floor. 

Seeing this (Y/n) quickly caught the much taller male in bridal style. "Sir, can you hear me?" (Y/n) asked him, leaning closer to his mysterious male's face, too worried to pay attention to his senses yelling warnings at him which made him not pay attention to the male's aura. 

Hearing no response (Y/n) began to panic more. Looking around (Y/n) saw no people who could be a doctor. "Hang on, sir. You'll be fine in just a minute." (Y/n) whispered to the male, running towards where he earlier saw a ryokan.

Now standing in front of where the hotel doors were (Y/n) quickly slid them open and ran towards the reception. "One room, please! Oh, and please bring a towel with a bowl of cold water! As well as some miso soup!" (Y/n) asked, handing the receptionist three silver coins. 

Handing the worried male a metal key the women watched him run away, running up the stairs to where their room was situated. 'Ah, young love.' The receptionist thought, smiling to herself. 

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Slamming the door open (Y/n) walked inside and slid the door back closed, running over towards where the already prepared futons were (Y/n) quickly, but gently, laid down the man, kneeling as he pulled off the man's long hoodie only to reveal a rather pale complexion with his hair being pale golden blonde, his hair flaring away from his head as it looked rather pointy. His eyes being closed allowing for (Y/n) to only see the thick and long eyelashes of the male. 

Overall, (Y/n) was only able to see the rather muscular physique that he had as the cloak didn't hide it very well, the rest of his body was covered in the black cloak. 

Slapping his cheek for then he would stop admiring the male's features (Y/n) quickly remembered why he even bought a room in the first place. 'I have to make sure that this man is okay! He seemed to be in a rather bad state when I first saw him, so I have to hurry and find out what's wrong with him-'

"Delivery!" This snapped him out of his thoughts as (Y/n) quickly got up from his kneeling position and ran over towards the door. "Coming!" (Y/n) yelled back, opening the door and bowing once he saw the basket that the man was holding. 

"Thank you!" (Y/n) thanked him, smiled at him, took the basket, and closed the door. "My, you didn't have to get me anything, darling!" Flinching as he heard this (Y/n) quickly turned around only to see the man that he picked up laying on the futon, looking up at (Y/n) with a playful expression. 

"O-Oh! You're awake! Please, lay back down for then I can check for any injuries-"

"It's fine, darling! I was just a little dizzy, is all!" The man reassured the worried male, chuckling as he saw (Y/n) sigh in relief. "Oh, that's good. I thought something bad happened to you! Though, you still have to rest a little. I'll bring you some water." (Y/n) stated, bending down to let go of the things in his hands as he went to open the door only for the male to suddenly appear in front of him. 

"There's no need to! Here, I know what'll make me feel a lot better! You telling me your name!" The man exclaimed, smiling down at the surprised (Y/n). Stepping away from the man (Y/n) smiled warily back. "I'm... Katsuo (Y/n). You are?" (Y/n) asked, this making the man giggle.

"I'm Doma! Though you can just call me Ma-chan!" The man known as Doma introduced himself, unfolding his fan as he covered his wide smile. Becoming unnerved by the male (Y/n) took a couple of steps back. "Then, please just call me (Y/n)." (Y/n) asked him, grabbing the stuff that he asked for and walked over to one of the tables. 

"You know, you don't really see people walking around wearing sword belts! Are you perhaps a samurai?" Doma asked (Y/n), following him around as he went to open the balcony doors. "Well... I'm somewhat close to a samurai." (Y/n) replied, finding the lack of emotions from Doma making him uncomfortable. 

Doma clapped his hands in glee, his eyes shining. "I see! Well, whatever you must be doing must be so cool!" Doma clapped his hands again. (Y/n) nodded, a fond smile on his face. "Yeah, I've been training for as long as I can remember." 

Dome hummed, his eyes widening as he noticed the miso soup that (Y/n) ordered. "Oh, miso soup! I haven't tasted this in years!" Doma exclaimed, looking at the soup but not making any attempts to go and grab it. 

Looking over at Doma, (Y/n) relaxed even though he was still on high alert. "Well, I did order this for you, so you can eat it if you want." (Y/n) stated, walking over to the miso soup and grabbing a spoon, putting it inside of the soup, and handing it over towards Doma. 

"Come," Sitting down on the floor in seiza style (Y/n) gestured for Doma to sit in front of him. "you should eat it before the soup goes cold. I thought that the soup would help you feel a bit better just like it would to me." (Y/n) explained, smiling warmly up at the male. 

Doma froze at the smile before chuckling, "Okay!" Sitting down in front of (Y/n), Doma looked down at the soup. "How about we talk about ourselves first? I like a chat before eating, you see." Doma explained his smile ever so present on his pale complexion. 

(Y/n) tilted his head, though nodded. "Sure, what do you want to talk about?" (Y/n) asked him, folding his hands together as he looked up at the male. Doma chuckled, "I've heard girls have gone missing, is that your reason for being here?" Doma asked him, tilting his head just like (Y/n) did earlier. 

(Y/n) flinched at what he said, suspicion creeping into his thoughts. "Why do you ask?" (Y/n) questioned, Doma's eyes seeming to brighten up in excitement. "I've never seen you around, and you came into town just when girls started to occasionally go missing, I think I would be able to connect the dots easily, (Y/n)-chan!" Doma exclaimed, this making (Y/n) feel dumb. 

'I've been way too hostile...' (Y/n) chuckled at this and looked back up at Doma. "Well... then yes, that is the reason why I am here. I am here to make sure to eradicate the source that is causing these females to go missing." (Y/n) confessed, calmy waiting for the next question. 

"Um... oh! Do you believe in gods?" Doma asked, this making (Y/n) surprised. "Do I believe in gods? Yes, yes I do. I was taught ever since I could remember that gods existed and that they are real. I did encounter a god once, but it was in the form of a vessel." (Y/n) replied. 

Doma hummed, putting down the spoon that he was holding and put it on top of the soup. "Why do you believe in gods, (Y/n)-chan?" Doma asked, his full attention now on (Y/n). "The reason is that... why not?" (Y/n) answered, this making Doma look at him in confusion. 

"If you don't want to believe that a flower exists, then to you it won't exist. If you believe that cows don't exist, then they don't to you. If you believe that emotions don't exist, then to you it doesn't exist, but just because you believe in something, doesn't mean it's truly real, and just because you believe something doesn't exist, doesn't mean that it isn't real. All of us have different eyes to the world, and we'll see them through our will. So, to me, they're real. No further discussion." (Y/n) answered his question, smiling calmly up at the male. 

"As well as for this... just because you think that demon slayers won't be able to eradicate the demon race doesn't mean that it can't happen. So please, demon, don't go thinking so lowly of us demon slayers. We've got a hungry bite, too!" (Y/n) exclaimed, and before anyone could blink (Y/n) was already in front of Doma with his sword about to pierce Doma only for the demon to back away in time. 

"My, my! I didn't think you would find me out so soon!" Doma chirped, fanning himself as he smiled down at (Y/n). "I thought that changing my eye color would have worked, but oh well." Doma shrugged, fanning himself.

Frowning up at the demon, (Y/n) glared. "Don't ever show me such a disgustingly fake smile to me ever again, Ma-chan. If there is one thing that I hate more than anything is fake things." (Y/n) spat, his hands tightly clenching his sword. 

Doma continued to smile, only for it to twitch ever so slightly. "You really are observant! A little dense, I'll admit, but you still made it through!" Doma clapped his hands for him, his now rainbow eyes staring down at (Y/n). "My job is to kill you, even if it kills me. So let's dance." (Y/n) stated, readying his sword as his (E/c) eyes pierced Doma's own. 

"You're interesting, though! It would be a real shame if I were to kill you. You're so nice that it even blinds you to see the evil right in front of you... in a way, you can say it felt nice when you were nice to me!" Doma squealed, his cheeks flushing a bright pink. 

"Oh, how warm you were! Your tender and gentle touch! How about you join me, instead? You were just so, so cute (Y/n)-chan! I don't have a heart anymore... but I think it's beating!" Doma exclaimed in glee, his eyes seeming to shine in genuine happiness before they became dull once more as (Y/n) attacked him again. 

"Sorry, Ma-chan, but I have to kill you." (Y/n) apologized, running up the wall and jumping off of it as he prepared to attack only for Doma to disappear once more. "I don't like it when you give me those eyes of hatred... I'll leave this town forever, just for you! We'll meet again, I'm sure!" Doma stated, sending an air kiss towards (Y/n) before disappearing. 

 Closing his eyes to get a better feel if he was even there (Y/n) sighed in relief as he sensed that Doma was indeed no longer in the town. 

'I guess... that concludes my first mission.' Sheathing back his sword (Y/n) went towards the door and slid it open, walking down the stairs as he arrived at the front desk and placed the key on the basket, walking away from the counter and out of the inn. 

Walking down the streets (Y/n) glanced around to make sure that no one was looking, and once confirming that no one was indeed staring at him (Y/n) quickly jumped on top of the roof of the house and began to run roof to roof before arriving on the tallest building that overlooked the entire town. 

Sitting down (Y/n) closed his eyes and breathed in deeply before exhaling. "Now, all that I have to do is wait until nightfall." So, (Y/n) waited, not aware of the racing thoughts of the Upper Moon Two: Doma. Well, not like he was aware that he was even an Upper Moon. (Y/n) just thought that Doma liked to write on his eyes, is all.
