XXXXV

Shinobu tried to slash at Douma, but he dodged as he attacked back, creating a gust of wind as he swung his fans towards Shinobu, who also dodged his attack, but got half of her haori cut. Kiyomi just watched there, frozen and deep in thoughts.

Shinobu got below Douma and stabbed him upwards, pinning him to the ceiling.

Kiyomi's eyes widened even more, still frozen in place.

As Shinobu was falling down since her sword was slipping from the ceiling, Douma looked at her and smiled as her eyes widened.

'Why doesn't poison work on this guy?!', Shinobu thought while still falling down.

Vines were moving towards her to catch her, but they were suddenly cut and Shinobu was caught by someone.

"Flower Breathing, Fourth form: Crimson Hanagoromo", Kanao suddenly barged in the room and cut the vines while Kiyomi caught Shinobu before the vines could.

"Don't touch my sister.", Kanao angrily said as veins popped on her head.

Kiyomi put Shinobu down and both went back to position as Douma disappeared from the ceiling and reappeared across the girls.

"Ooh! Another girl to eat!", Douma clapped his hands as he beamed.

"Thank you, Kanao, Snowflake.", Shinobu thanked the two as they nod.

"Ah, I almost forgot the two over there!", Douma said with a concerned face as he dashed at Tamayo and the survivor.

"Hey! Don't involve them! We're the ones fighting you here, dumbass!", Kiyomi blocked the incoming attack that Douma sent to Tamayo.

"You know? You're kinda making me feel.. what emotion was that again? Ah, 'irritated' is what it's called.", Douma said, slightly glaring at Kiyomi.

"So what? You've irritated me first!", Kiyomi spat.

"Breath of Winter, Third form: Snowflake Shurikens"

"Insect Breathing, Dance of the Dragonfly: Compound Eye Hexagon"

"Breath of Flower, Fifth form: Peony of Futility"

The three of them attacks Douma quickly with Kanao attacking first with a lot of slashes to Douma.

All dodged.

Next, Shinobu comes in as she tried to stab Douma a lot.

All dodged again.

Last, Kiyomi jumps in the air as she swung with her fans as snowflake-shaped shurikens flew to Douma.

ALL. DODGED. AGAIN.

"Seriously?! Dude stop dodging it's annoying!!", Kiyomi angrily said as she childishly stomped on the ground.

Douma ignored her (which she got irritated) and put on a surprised expression.

"Hm? Could lord Akaza be dead? I felt a strange sensation for a moment, but I guess it was my imagination. As if lord Akaza had become some kind of different creature... But he's gone, so I'll never know!", Douma said before frowning and crying.

"How sad... He was my bestfriend, but...", He sobbed.

"You can stop spouting your lies.", Kanao spoke.

"What?", Douma said confusedly.

"I know every word coming from your mouth is a thoughtless lie. You're not sad right? Not even a little.", Kanao continued, Shinobu then joined.
