THESE ARE ALL RANDOM STREAMS OF THOUGHTS. THERE'S NO ORDER. ALSO I'M NOT A WRITER SO FORGIVE ANY ERRORS!!!

General

They're all interested in the same type of person for different reasons. So if you catch the interest of one, you'll soon catch the interest of the others.

The clones are also pathological liars like the main body.

They're scrappy unfair fighters.

They'd all have a common trait of imposing themselves into your life. Whether or not you want to see them, they'll always pop up uninvited.

That and being disgustingly clingy to the point you can barely breathe without one of them there to share your air.

Their violence varies, but rest (un)assured that it is always an option for them, yes, even Hantengu.

Even if different, sometimes it really shows that they're a single unit.. sooner or later, your hands will be full with a bunch of annoying, needy, lying, terrible, and problematic assholes. 

They're all more intense than the average human. To them, a human life is as insignificant as an ant. They'd kill someone for the hell of it, or if it's an order from Muzan. That view doesn't change much if you're in the picture.

Now it's just a matter of not scaring you too much, hence, Hantengu’s chronic lying problem. They want to be the ones you rely and lean on. to feel comfortable with! Don't mind the blood. It's not like you haven't seen it on them before!

Relax, they truly never want to hurt you!!

Hantengu

Starting off with our man of the hour, Hantengu. He's aligned with delusional and obsessive types of yanderes, one who's too afraid to approach you but watches you from afar nonetheless.

You'd have to make an effort to find him since he'd most likely be shrunk into his tiny form and hidden in some small crevice.

It started off as a simple fascination. You probably made contact with him in his human disguise (accidental or not.) As he cowered, you were pretty decent.

It was a surprising but welcoming change of pace from the usual villains who'd try to harm him, but he still fled from you. He was going to eat you no doubt, but he kept putting it off until he lost his appetite.

He's terrified you might do something to him, that you'll hurt him! but the attention you gave him makes him yearn for your company. He wants to watch you all the time and quite literally, will do just that.

Hantengu's there when you wake up and when you go to bed. He's living somewhere in your home. Always watching.

With the ability to shrink very small and run extremely fast, you'd think you might have rats in your home. Each time you think you hear a snap, the rat traps always end up broken to pieces.

He sends his clones in his stead to test the waters after getting far too worried once you leave his sight. If you don't hurt them, then he'll know you're not so bad! Still won't approach, but a bit more calm when he's "around." or when they invade your life. 

Assuming the clones never stray too far from the main body (if they're physically able to or not, doesn't really matter) they never want to leave Hantengu unprotected, which means your home is the main base.

You can move, try running away, get help, or whatever, but it's all futile because Hantengu will hide in your items meaning the others will always end up finding you with him.

it's a rule of thumb for the Hantengus not to mention him for safety reasons and because he's already terrified as is and any unwarranted attention is probably bad... He'd be horrified to be under your gaze for long, which is why he prefers you with your eyes closed.

Hantengu is like your sleep paralysis demon. At the dead of night, he peeks out from wherever he's hiding and watches you.

With demonic speed, any flinch or shuffle from you has him hiding again, but if you awaken and keep your eyes closed, you can hear faint crying and sniffling while you slumber.

If it makes you uncomfortable or ruins your sleep, Hantengu doesn't put two and two together, it can't possibly be him. What a travesty..!

It'd be difficult to try and make contact since he's always watching from the sidelines or cowering and hiding away, but it'll get easier eventually when it's drilled into him that you won't be like the people he's met.

He genuinely believes that the world is full of evil villains that may hurt you, so if he sees someone that worries him, the clones will zero in on them.

Hantengu has a dangerously powerful influence on them.. combine that with his victim complex? terrible.

Sometimes all Hantengu needs is a single seed of doubt to be implanted in his mind before he's lying to everyone and deluding himself that you're getting manipulated.

That's when his clones step in, scouting out the place for the possible source of the problem. That or pick off random people one by one before you're back in their arms!

But it's not his fault that you're surrounded by overprotective, suffocating freaks! Trust!!

The upside is if you meet him, he's extremely docile. He doesn't do much aside from cower and weep, begging you not to hurt him. Attempts to hide are futile if you tell him to stay... like a deer caught in headlights. ironic.

One of the others are probably always in the room, if not all of them, making your interactions even more awkward. 

Once Hantengu warms up to the idea of having you know about his existence, you'd mostly find him in the pockets of your clothes or in areas where your trinkets would be strewn about.

It’s highly unlikely that he’d be violent in front of you, but that doesn't mean that the others won't be, (for his and your safety they say) Hantengu just cries about things or trembles at most with every sound making him flinch, huddling behind you in some way.

Hantengu often forgets he can go to his full height, usually being the size of your foot or smaller. If he's tiny, you'll see how he's a really harmless and defenseless victim of the world!

Nevermind how you sometimes catch the scent of blood coming from your home, only to find him cowering at the scene of a crime.

Depending on your demeanor, you're either a victim like him so you MUST stick together, or you're his savior.

He feels that safety and contentment when around you, but would rather stay on the side lines than risk anything. It's as if watching you do your daily routine is his stress relief.

It's absolutely awful if you're in danger or out of his line of sight for long. No reports from one of his clones? No most recent update to your whereabouts? No one is with you to inform him!?

Full panic attacks and inconsolable babbling about how you must be dead!! The world is so cruel and awful to him!!!

These types of reactions agitate the others, making them more worried if they're also in the dark. It's possible Hantengu would use Urami to go and find you himself in these rare instances. It'd be a disaster, but at least he'd have peace of mind..

At least you don't have to worry about Hantengu being jealous though. He's pretty tame, too focused on being afraid of everything else. The others handle his jealousy for him so that he doesn't worry.

Sekido

A mixture of highly jealous and possessive type, secretly protective as well! A mean tsundere is what you usually see, if not his common form of verbal abuse if he's too worked up.

The subtle flush on his cheeks takes the edge off his words if it's directed at you even if he blames it on being red in the face with anger because of you or [x] reason.

First impressions were probably that you were extremely annoying and would suggest eating you to the others whenever a situation arose. Thankfully the others prevented that from happening.

Sekido is one out of the two who'd accidentally hurt you. He never means to, but he forgets his own strength. In the beginning, instead of trusting you to follow him, he'd grab your wrist and drag you around with him to wherever he needed to be.

You could run away when he's not looking and cause an unwanted commotion, so it's best to have you on a tight leash leading to bruising sometimes..

Out of all of them, Sekido needed the most time to warm up to you. When he'd realized he'd fallen for you, he'd already be cursing at himself for being so blind to it earlier.

It started off as moments where his irritation calmed then snowballed into a bliss he only knows if he's by your side.

You'd think he genuinely hates your guts at times. The way he gets so angry and harshly insults you can take a toll. If he senses he's cut you deep, he still won't apologize verbally.

Knowing himself, saying anything would only hurt you more, he's too rough with phrasing that it wouldn't sound genuine. How is it his fault that you're so fragile?

Sekido has too much pride, but a lot of it is in constant conflict with his love for you. It's what gets him so frustrated when thinking about it. You make him feel disgustingly mushy inside, and he wants to tear out his heart and tell it to get a grip.

He probably doesn't speak to you for a few days, instead choosing to act while you're not looking to regain favor. 

Making food you'd like, inviting you to spend time indoors, buying you small gifts, and even cleaning up around your place. Wordless actions that come off as apologies for his temper that he’ll make SURE won't go unnoticed.

If you confront him, he huffs with his back towards you as if it were nothing but takes credit for it regardless.

Sure, he's the oldest, but Sekido still has his moments of immaturity like the other three. If he had it his way, he'd refuse to let anyone speak to you, almost isolating you, so his acts of service really shine through.

What if someone tries getting your favor by taking advantage of his supposed mistakes? It's extremely insulting that anyone would even dare try! Infuriating even!

The only people he'd allow you to speak with are his clones and main body. But like everything, it depends on his mood or the situation.

Is it REALLY necessary to talk to someone else when Sekido is RIGHT THERE?? No. It's not. Now shut up and eat the sweets he got you.

Sekido doesn't do PDA, but violence will always be on the table, never hesitating if someone gets near you, or looks at you too long.

He says he's the best clone to take when going out, but he’s punched too many bystanders as a warning far too many times... You're lucky if he simply verbally abuses someone until they're crying or humiliated.

You can say the handsome man with the red eyes has grown a reputation in town.

You also gain a reputation as someone who’s EXTREMELY off limits, dangerous even. While Sekido isn't as affectionate or sweet as the others, the things he lets slide when it comes to you make it obvious that you're his favorite person.

“Are you trying to die? Even insects have more survival instincts than you.” and all you did was bump into him. Sekido dusts himself off and gives you a once over, subtly making sure you're okay before he continues with whatever he was doing.

Were it anyone else, he would’ve swung his staff at them for even getting near him.

You're given special treatment because, to Sekido, you ARE special. On rare occasions, he'll even verbalize his fondness for you, even if it's worded as if he were reprimanding.

Just don't be so blind to the hints he's throwing at you and he won't have to beat your face in.. specifically your lips with his lips, very roughly, until you're both bruised and breathless.

When Sekido needs to be away from you for whatever reason, he knows you're okay. He entrusts you to the others in his absence, but his mind starts wandering to how he misses your hands on his.. 

It's different remembering it and seeing it, if you were there, you could touch him and he could reciprocate. It'd be even better if you were both alone—and now, someone’s interrupting his thoughts.

Frustration bubbles up and he's ready to snap at someone. What could be so damn important!?

If Sekido comes back with blood on his person, just don't ask, he's already annoyed and he's seeking solace with you.

You flip a switch in him. Your warmth, your presence, your voice, it’s like serenity to his vexed soul. He sits comfortably beside you when he has to plan for something.

It helps him think clearly but, he doesn't let go of your wrist..

His grip is unnaturally tight too, so you're stuck there unless you want to risk Sekido getting frustrated again because his personified peace wants to get up and do something, at least, that's what he says.

Even if it holds some truth, when you whittle Sekido down enough, he confesses that, in a weird way, he's constantly worried for you.

You're not as strong as them and he knows this, but it's clear as day when he's calm enough.

Not that he needs to, but Sekido takes the responsibility for not only keeping himself alive, but Hantengu and more importantly you. 

If anything were to happen to you, he doesn't know what he'd do. So instead he acts as the most aggressive guard dog ever and keeps any unknown presence as far from you as possible.

Moments of peace with you don't happen often for him, so please stay a while longer? The others will barge in any minute now, so indulge him a little until then?

And don't speak a word about it to anybody or else he’ll destroy your home and everything inside it!

Karaku

Extremely self aware, obsessive type. He knows how to properly court someone, that everything they're doing crosses many lines, but this way is much more entertaining.

You were just another random face in the beginning that he just shrugs and tries to find enjoyment in by tormenting, but as he interacts more with you, he finds it more invigorating than anything else.

He starts going easier on you, opting for just teasing. Dragging you into spending time with him is surprisingly more fun than a battle lately..

Whether you like him back or not isn't even important. As long as you have SOME level of affection for him and don't forget to give him some attention, he's satisfied.

Everything is fun when it comes to you and while he'd IDEALLY like you to reciprocate his feelings and be obsessed with him, he just needs an inch for the mile he'll take!

It's not like he will actively make you hate him, but he'll definitely try coaxing you into things you might not be eager for.

I doubt there's much that can upset him in general, much less if it's you. You're so attractive and entertaining to him, all your reprimands and insults go in one ear and out the other.

He laughs and agrees to whatever you said, brushing it off, then tries nudging you into moving on and doing something that doesn't upset you! Like doing him!

O-or.. if you're not in the mood right now, that's fine. There's a bunch of other fun stuff that you two can do!

With all that, Karaku's still aware that you'd be uncomfortable with him shoving all his affection onto you, getting possessive, and even beating some people up for the hell of it.

But he also knows people can learn to get used to things they can't escape and get desensitized, so he attempts to do just that and ease you into your new life!

He's still affectionate, it's Karaku! He doesn't force you into anything too intimate. Physical touch may be his go-to, but holding you and hugging you is the most he'd do unless he gets hints that he may be allowed to do more.

Out of everyone, he's the most relaxed, which isn't saying much. If you say you're going somewhere he hears we’re going somewhere, but at least you can go near strangers without him hurting anyone.

When spending time with the others, he knows he can just butt in, or do something that'll force your attention on him. Even if people try talking to you, he's not upset, just amused.

Very confident Karaku is.. any attempt someone tries with you is hilarious to him since he knows you're likely to reject them. He only gets slightly miffed if YOU'RE the one coming onto others.

“Oi~ You're really greedy, you have all of me and yet you still want other's attention? ..How about you try convincing me a little and I won't make that much of a fuss, yeah?” as if he's not always trying to hold you in the most PDA way possible… 

Karaku loves to show off how he's taken even if it makes you embarrassed. You're cute when flustered anyway so that's just another plus!

When you're gone he's sooo~ bored. It reminds him of that itch he had before he met you where life was too dull and he needed that stimulation only chaos could provide.

Unfortunately, chaos is like a storm, and the clouds dissipate eventually. So what does he do? Create his own storms, of course!

Karaku is a renowned pleasure seeker, sexual or not. Since he met you, the sexual part is reserved, so he's usually seeking fun in terms of mischief, adrenaline rushes, or destruction. 

Starting problems on purpose by provoking others to the point of a fight is his favorite especially if he can blow down buildings.

Some dishonorable mentions that aren't fighting are planting gross items into bags, spreading rumors, giving false information, and turning people against one another.

Overall things that would make you regret letting him out of your sight.

Karaku likes to make himself more appealing to you by boasting about small things. It could be the bare minimum, but you wouldn't know if he's exaggerating any tiny details!

Hearing your tastes and interests will have him leaning into that, but he's not going to change himself completely.

He's confident he can worm his way into your heart by being himself.

You should give him praise sometime! He didn't tease Sekido and make him so upset he blew a fuse. And! He didn't toy with anyone’s life before killing them this time! He also only used his uchiwa twice. max. and no buildings collapsed completely..

See? He's not that bad of a guy! You should trust him more, you'll hurt his feelings..!

He's the one who will also flirt with you the most, leaving lingering touches and casually inviting you for some bedroom fun. You could be in the middle of dinner and he'd ask if you're up for it later as if it's a casual thing between you two.

This guy.. he really REALLY likes you touching him.. from his hair to his arms, to his chest, and down his legs, whatever you want is yours. But it also makes him more reserved in a way? 

Someone tapping his shoulder gets him a little miffed. It's like someone is touching something of yours. Whatever, getting your hands all over him should fix that right up.

Karaku is an interesting case.. He portrays himself as an open book, but there's so much more than he lets on.

He makes mental notes of things you like and strictly hate, secretly helps balance everyone’s jealousy so you don't get burnt out, always there when you need him most, and is second to tend to you if Aizetsu isn't around.

Serious situations aren't his style, he’ll always try to be playful to lighten the mood, but you can see his ear twitch when he notices something’s wrong.

He's the second oldest after all, so he has the capability to be mature if he wants to.

But being a stick in the mud is Sekido’s job, so he works around it in his own pleasurable way!

There’s times even when he likes to take things slow and enjoy the moment with you around. Pleasure can be relaxation. While he loves being out and about, a nice quiet evening with you can be fun too.. even if he has to push you around a little too make it happen.

He likes how you make him feel whole, like he's not chasing after the unattainable satisfaction that's so close but so far.

Urogi

Intoxicated delusional type... Urogi believes you wouldn't do anything to hurt him on purpose and finds joy in your “shyness.” If you were to reject him or push him away, he laughs very loudly, “reassuring” you.

First impressions were pretty tense. He'd eye you like he's waiting for you to step wrong before feasting. Like those fangs suggest, he's a humanity's predator first and foremost and he wanted to keep it that way.

At least, he thought so until he played with his food too much and got attached. 

You later begin to be like a drug to him. He NEEDS you. Whether it be within earshot, field of vision, or (preferably) within arm's reach. If not, he gets super fidgety, nervous, restless. Can't sit still.

Similar to Hantengu except he begins getting impulsive and violent with anything or anyone around the longer you're away.

Usually, he thinks twice about slicing anything with his talons when you're around, he's too happy with your attention and knows you're pretty squishy! But if you're gone, the blood splatters make him feel better!

He misses you! Come back!! There are scratches and tossed furniture everywhere because Urogi attempted to calm himself with things that smell like you. Everything's just a mess, but he at least greets you the second you get home.

Cuddly and excitable! He'd tackle you in a hug and swing you around, or cling to you with his full body until you both tip over. Urogi likes your scent and warmth.

It's comforting, so he's constantly near you and touching you, sometimes fighting with the others cause he wants his turn.

Similar to Sekido, you're like a switch that flips to excited when you make contact of any kind, so it's not uncommon to find him clamoring to sit on your lap or lay his head somewhere on you when he sees you.

Again, like Sekido, Urogi can get jealous to the same levels as him. However, whereas Sekido would be violent and aggressive, Urogi is whiny and clingy. 

It's almost funny how he’s the one whose mood shifts the quickest. Even compared to Aizetsu, he's more likely to cry, or compared to Sekido, he'd lash out about something small.

But as his main emotion states, he'll always revert back to his gleeful self.

One second, he's complaining because you've been “ignoring” him for too long [three minutes] but cheers up if you so much as graze his skin, “Hahaha!! Okay, I forgive you!! Can we go out now? Oh! Oh! How about a kiss?!”

Joy may be better than when Urogi's upset, but it's still... pretty shameless like Karaku, except Urogi doesn't WANT to embarrass you on purpose.

He's got a loud voice and a one-track mind with you. Begging and asking isn't out of the realm of possibility for him either.

Something you can count on with these four is that they're honest in their feelings for you.

Urogi, being the one who's extremely raw in showing it, talks from the heart with no brain. What you see is what you get. Most of the time...

Urogi, like the others, has his moments of dishonesty, but it’s not his fault! He wants your love constantly so bends the truth about needing you in some type of way or that he was bullied!!!

He has a headache, take care of him! Oh, his left wing hurts, pet it for him, please? His feathers have been really bothering him lately, preen him? Yes, you did so yesterday, but they're bothering him again!! Also, Sekido was really mean for no reason again, stay with him so he doesn't get yelled at again!!

With how much he thrives under your attention, you'd wonder how he reacts with people who aren't you. Well, it's simple, if its not a fight, he leads back to you!

If someone ever talks to Urogi long enough there's a 90% chance he'll mention “someone” and ignore whatever they say.

When you're not the subject of the convo, he brings you up, interrupting the other's train of thought. Annoyingly so.. 

It gets particularly messy if he's conversing with the other three because then they'd forget about the original topic and get swept up with missing you instead.

Even the hobbies he has that aren't you, remind him of you.. in albeit concerning ways..

He likes to eat fleshy meat, but he gets reminded of how your skin feels under his hands. It'd be more flattering if he wasn't literally ripping the flesh off of something with his fangs, but he means well.

Sharing things he likes is a sign of love, right? That's why he brings you gifts! ..Like a cat bringing its owner dead mice except this cat is five foot nine and way more dangerous..

and the dead mice are limbs that can get you arrested............

It's terrifying to wake up to a mysterious blob of red meat, especially when Urogi says “It's the only thing that kinda resembles what it used to be!” but laughs in your face instead of explaining further.

A tongue was probably the most concerning thing that still had its original shape, but not surprising.

Urogi is unfortunately way too damn strong. He's the second one to accidentally hurt you after Sekido, his talons are extremely sharp and sometimes dig into you when he gets too excited. He tries not to, but even passing by he can nick you. 

Bandages are difficult for him to grab with his talons, and he feels terrible afterward, so he licks your wounds clean if you let him. Sure, it won't do much, but at least your blood smells delicious, and it makes him happy tasting it! 

Right, this isn't about him, right! 

There's something almost innocent about how Urogi acts with you. Even if you hate his guts, he’d still treat you like treasure. He can't bring himself to hate you no matter what you do.

He’ll get annoyed at times when you're too “coy,” sure, but never more than that or for long. 

He can be a handful, but you can tell he tries to give you a good happy relationship. One that he hopes makes you feel the same unending joy he feels even if it's a bit traumatic.

Aizetsu

Manipulative and stalking type. Aizetsu wants to get tasks over with as fast as possible. he doesn't have any motivation for it. He's tired and sad and wants to curl up into a ball and lay down.

First time meeting, Aizetsu didn't even spare you a glance. If you weren't food or a threat, then you might as well have been a poor wall or weird tree.

Giving him a taste of pampering is probably what slowly melted his cold walls.

Now that he has you, it's strange. He WANTS to get up and do things with you. The weight on his shoulders isn't as heavy when you're around. He wants to keep you near him always and if he has to be pathetic to do that, then he'll do it.

Sending cute sad glances your way, sighing after each word as if its tiring to breathe, constantly leaning or holding onto your clothes, whatever makes him look like he'd die without you is what he'll do. 

Aizetsu is more than capable like the other three if not the most. it's just that he doesn't need to do it, so he doesn't want to.

He purposely makes himself out like he's the “good” one, but he's just quieter. Unlike Karaku's boasting, Aizetsu wants you to see the worst in others so it makes himself look better by comparison.

Making others or himself seem pathetic is his strong suit, sometimes making his counterparts the brunt of that pity.

That or he takes a page out of Karaku's handbook and stirs the pot so they do the job for him. Sometimes they involve Aizetsu if they find out which makes him sad...

He pouts, looking at his counterparts fighting, and tells you how it's such a pity you're stuck with a rowdy bunch like them while knowing full well that he muttered something under his breath about Karaku mocking Sekido to make Urogi laugh while passing by.

It didn't happen, but it could've... it's okay, just stay with Aizetsu on the sidelines while they tucker themselves out.

Speaking of that, Aizetsu seldom lets you go. Like the others, he loves touching you, but the others let go eventually from some form of hyperactivity.

Aizetsu.. doesn't. His hand is always firmly grasping some part of your clothes while you walk, but if you're not using your arm, he'll hold that for you too.

You can try shaking him off, but it really wouldn't do anything except make him frown and grip tighter. You could ditch your clothes, it'll stun him for a moment until he's pouting again, but he’ll let you go.

Unfortunately you probably won't get your discarded clothes back for a while even if you apologize.

That and he’ll cling on again in five minutes if he's near. It's a force of habit.

Aizetsu's the strongest physically of the four, but tries his best to seem weak around you so you can spoil and love him more.

The second you leave him to figure out his own issues, you usually hear a loud thump then crack followed by Aizetsu's soft footsteps rushing to follow behind you.

Even with his crazy strength, he's the second least likely to spill blood.

Not because he's guilty or anything, don't be silly, but because he doesn't want to put effort into cleaning himself up, so you'll embrace him again. If you didn't care, then he'd be a bit messier.

Then again, he doesn't like how the dried blood feels in his hair, and he doubts he can get away with making you wash it for him every time.

Aizetsu is constantly upset, but he's not openly emotional aside from his usual declarations of sorrow. He doesn't cry easily, being in a constant state of sadness makes everything numb at some point, so it's something he expresses privately..

or, to persuade you into feeling bad for him further.

“Pitying others is only natural, but don't forget you have someone waiting for you always. I'd wither away without you.” He says that, but the others never see him waiting for anything when you're out.. Why? Because he never leaves you.

Sometimes you think you see a blue reflection from the corner of your eyes, but you check and nothing. Feeling like you're watched has been a constant lately since meeting the clones. Hopefully, it's just nerves.

But it's not!

Behind wall corners, in the shadows, amongst crowds, in closets, Aizetsu's always there. Watching with that same sorrowful pout. As mentioned earlier, he doesn't feel demotivated when doing things for you.

He's making sure you're safe and gathering more information. He wants to be precise when around you. How are you when you think they're not around? He'll find out. He always does.

Not that you notice much... He doesn't throw tantrums when you need to part from him like the others, only simple, “Really? Where are you going..?” and that's all for protesting. He's the “good one,” remember? He won't stop you.

Aizetsu gets a little sloppy with hiding his hobby(?) when he doesn't react to the new things and stories you intended to tell him. As if listening to a story again.

He's lucky he doesn't speak much or he would've filled in the details of the story you forgot about.

The downside of following you is that Aizetsu gets approached sometimes. Annoying... He's so gloomy, that he's sometimes approached by kind bystanders to check up on him. 

He doesn't speak to anyone as much anymore, only responding with nods and head shakes unless he's pitying someone. He's only “chatty” with you and his clones, more so you.

A tired look crosses his face when someone's being particularly bothersome. Say, the authorities or an insistent stranger for example. 

If you were with him, he'd look at you to fix it, but since you're not, he'll handle it himself. i.e. a precise swift jab to the throat that'll get them to keel over long enough for him to scamper somewhere else.

Zohakuten

Conflicting love hating attention seeker.. He can't help but hate how your mere presence makes the others and himself worse versions of themselves, but he can see why. Having your attention is like basking in the warmth of the sun again.. 

He rarely shows up, only when the four are panicked and desperate, but the first time is probably extremely tense........ he'd reprimand you for screwing up the minds of his clones and scaring the main body constantly.

He doesn't separate, wanting to see what the big deal is. Having Zohakuten follow you around or dragging you places while getting insulted, you're mostly babysitting him at this point.

He may not be a child in the usual sense, but he definitely uses his appearance to benefit himself. Big eyes, grumpy frown with his chubby cheeks and that usually gets people to believe him if he's lucky.

It's whiplash inducing when Zohakuten's face and way of speaking don't match (it's easy to forget that all these freaks have the mentality of an over two hundred year old man.) He uses an older way of speaking and their inflections.

He's not free from the common ground that is wanting your attention even if he's almost always complaining that you're the source of their corruption. yet he still doesn't try getting rid of you aside from a couple insults. Though it can get annoying when he's constantly on your case.

Zohakuten is extremely defensive of the main body. Hesitating when it comes to him isn't a problem. He's like Sekido where he punches as a warning in that sense.

He's very kind with Hantengu, and surprisingly you who now falls under the category of needing protection.

Hatred is part of his nature so if you're alone with him, that hatred focuses on you, but it's mixed with affection. He only really huffs at you and occasionally tries swatting you when you get too affectionate.

He's critical of his older clone counterparts. 

If there were a setting where Zohakuten coexisted with his them , he'd be very antagonistic even if it's to a lesser degree than opponents. He's going against them then complaining to you about it so you can be careful of their misdeeds!

He sees their actions as the main reason Hantengu gets bullied and falsely persecuted. they fool around too much instead of doing their job properly that it grinds Zohakuten's gears..

He'd probably call Karaku and Urogi manwhores for showing off so much skin. Sekido and Aizetsu are on thin ice but they'd still get called harlots for wearing their collars so open.

You're probably not free from his berating either but he excludes the derogatory insults.

Similar to Tanjiro in that one scene with Mitsuri, Zohakuten would grab your clothes and adjust it to be more modest. He can't have animals like those pigs looking at you!!!

That being said, Zohakuten is much more manageable compared to dealing with four smothering men.

Still.. he's less likely to listen to you and has a short fuse that can cause problems out of nothing. Plus, he's much MUCH stronger than what you'd be used to.

Luckily, there's moments when he tuckers himself out and he's quietly following you like a cat. He doesn't speak much then but glares at anything and anyone who gets too close.

He might look pettable, but don't do it or he might both claw at you and get a second wind.

It's best to stay alone with Zohakuten for as long as he's around. If someone else makes him or Hantengu upset, he'd focus his hatred into them and make up some deluded reason as to why they have to die.

They'll harm Hantengu first if they're allowed to live!! It'll be swift, but he can't promise it'll be clean.

It's pretty easy to get Zohakuten to get violent. it only really takes someone getting close to you or Hantengu until he's acting faster than you noticed he moved.

He doesn't really care if you get scared, it's all for the greater good. you're just spooked because his methods were taboo, but it's fine. Now all of you are safe..

He really likes trees and forests, so taking walks around there might be the safest bet.

Zohakuten wouldn't be as cuddly, more so because of some pride of holding himself up as the strongest pillar for Hantengu, but there are moments where he sighs and leans his head against you.

Being alone with you, Hantengu, and the peace of nature puts his mind at ease in a way it's not built for. Even his wood dragons come along, bellowing quietly and making the whole environment uncommonly calm. like he's almost a normal kid.

Serenity isn't forever of course and you must part from him eventually. It's not like he'll make it easy by any means though. His brattiness shines through here where he hides some essentials of yours that make it impossible for you to leave.

Your shoes, outdoor clothes, utilities, anything that'll make your life more difficult so you'll stay home. Yes, he knows you have a life outside, but he doesn't like it when you come home smelling different. It's concerning!

If you somehow manage to escape, you'll only see his hateful eyes from his safe spot in the darkness. Throughout the day, the occasional concern chill creeps up, and coming home reveals why.

It's a disaster. Everything is trashed and turned over in what looks to be a tornado hit. Except the tornado was just a small tyrant sulking in your bedroom. The tantrum didn't comfort him at all and all he wants is you.

When you come back, he's berating you and calling you the worst person imaginable! He grabs your arms tightly then nearly crushes your ribs in a hug.

He doesn't apologize, but helps clean up after he's done, wanting to spend time with you. It wasn't the same without you and he loathes how the difference is so tangible now.

It's unfair how he's tasked to protect you too, but now that he's met you, there's specific conditions that need to be met to be allowed to see you again. He's not here for long and people around you get to meet you whenever they'd like. it's really not fair!

Maybe after a while, Zohakuten would learn not to act first if you PROMISED to keep your interactions with others to a minimum.

Even If you don't, he'll remind you by cutting your conversation or starting an argument that'll quickly get lethal if not stopped in time.

The way this guy swears like a sailor is incredible. Very foul mouthed. He talks bad about people, even sometimes to their face. It's also painfully accurate. Zohakuten can really cut deep with his words alone.. even be problematic

so fingers crossed he doesn't slight the wrong person.

While he doesn't really need to, he tries getting you small trinkets to keep so he's with you when he's separated.

All stolen of course, or so the woman from the market says, but it's not true! he made it himself, what kind of person would spread lies like that?!

Note: Zohakuten is a platonic yandere. Like the boyfriend's bratty younger brother who likes you so he cock blocks everyone to hang out with you trope

You can try asking for help, but people have seen what they're like without you.. they're like a blender without a cap. The contents will go everywhere, and it'll be chaos. UNLESS, the blender has its cap, you.

With a heavy heart, people usually give you sympathetic glances if you ever do interact briefly and quick words of comfort if they can. at least you're well taken care of by those freaks.

i love them all theyre awful.....

Tl;Dr

It's probably a big party or such with everyone involved invited to try and resolve everything. White Lily and Pure Vanilla's idea. The dragons were OBVIOUSLY not happy with with and neither were most of their wives but SOMEHOW they were convinced siting most of the Beasts were going through some kind of reformation. Unfortunately they allowed Hollyberry to chose the location of this massive gathering and with Pitaya being the only dragon she knew, she chose somewhere Pitaya would've liked alone- A giant large tavern!

To her credit it wasn't a bad place. But it WAS rather big and spacious. Most of the dragons looked..not in the best of moods. Lotus was smiling but it was clearly forced. Longan was sitting silently in the corner feeling their eyelid twitch every few seconds being around so many cookies, the only thing stopping them from leaving was their mate hugging their side and reassuring them. Lychee looked bored out of their mind mindlessly floating after their mate(and giving death glares at the tag along puppy Shadow Milk-). Ananas was calm holding a single cup of juice they slowly sipped but they didn't seem to be enjoying this either. The only one truly in the spirits was Pitaya who was laughing with Hollyberry about the time she nearly cracked their head in two with her shield. Aside from the tention between the dragons and Beasts and the Ancients keeping a close eye on the situation, it seemed to be going ok.

Except for one thing.

Reddish eyes stared hard at the opposite side of the room. Specifically at a certain pink dragon laughing loudly and had one arm lovingly around a lady cookie as beautiful as an oasis in a drought. HIS Desert Rose. The one whom escaped him so long ago cuddled up against the foolish magenta dragon! He felt his own anger broiling and his hand squeezed around the mug in his hands. What he would've give to tear the wings off that pesky knat and sweep her off her feet, but if he so much as looked at them wrong-..Well-...He glanced across the other side of the room to the yellow birdie who narrowed her eyes at him, tightening her hold on the spear in her hands. Well he'd have five ancients and dragons ready to dogpile him. Sigh. This was the worst day of his life outside of getting sealed in the tree! Now don't ask how he came up with this idea..He probably saw two random cookies trying to out-drink each other and a couple bar maids fawning over the winner. That gives him the idea to impress her. After all what can be more manly than winning a drinking content? Sigh. Yes. He is this crazy to try it.

"Master? Where are you going?" "You'll see, Nutmeg Tiger Cookie!" Golden Cheese was instantly on his heels along with his right hand minion as he walks right up to Pitaya and Hollyberry laughing together. However as soon as the dragon feels their mate flinch, their attitude completely changes from happy laughter to as cold as stone as Burning Spice stands before them smiling down at the two of them. Their mate pulled closer to their side as the majority stare at the Beast that dared to approach them. After a moment of smiling with Burning Spice smiling at them he huffed a laugh. "That was quite a battle you put up against me! Most don't walk away after they encounter the cookie of destruction. Actually most don't walk at all! Hahaha!" Pitaya narrowed their eyes at him. "Funny. I could sssay the sssame for thossse who daresss challenge the Red Dragon! Or Greenish-Red Dragon! You're only ssstill living becaussse I wasss feeling merciful that day." "HA! If that's what you want to go by!" A hiss escaped the pink dragon. "And what isss THAT sssuposssed to mean!?" Pitaya's loud voice caused most of the tavern to look over at the small group of people. Regular cookies, Ancients, Beasts, and Dragons alike. "Pitaya, calm down. He's only trying to rile you up into a fight." Hollyberry placed a hand on her friends shoulder pulling them back a little while also giving Burning Spice her own annoyed glare. "OOh! I'll be sure to tear off that pretty black mane of hisss and mount it on my cave wall if he insssissstsss!" "Ew. You are not scalping someone and hanging their hair on our wall!" Desert Rose finally spoke up from her hiding spot behind the dragon which immediately caught the Beast's attention as he glanced at her...and his gaze seemed to soften just slightly making the dragon hiss louder wings flaring up. "Jussst what are getting at!? You looking for a rematch!?"

-"A firey spirit! Ha! I like that! This just means it'll be more entertaining!" He then pointed towards the bar. "Why don't you put your treasure where your mouth is?" Pitaya rose a brow to where he was pointing. "..What are you talking about?" "I-..think he's challenging you to a drinking contest." "HA!! Why would I reduce myssself to doing sssomething asss ssstupid and immature asss that?" "Then you're admitting to being nothing but a pathetic little cookie imitating sugar gnome?" "SUGAR GNOME!?" Now the ENTIRE tavern was looking at the ruckus that was transpiring in the middle of the tavern. Even Longan who had been doing their best to blend into the darkness in the very back corner had ended up turning when they heard Pitaya screaming so loud it could've woken them up during their long slumber. With a flare of anger the dragon snarled pointing at the grinning Beast having successfully ragebaited the dragon into doing exactly what he wanted. "Very well! I'll show you that a dragon can bessst a cookie at anything! Even a ssstupid little drinking contessst!!" "HAHAHA!! I knew you wouldn't turn down a challenge!" Hollyberry looked intrigued and Desert Rose just-....Facepalmed. "So much for not being 'stupid and immature'. Pitaya, don't be an idiot and make a fool out of yourself." Pitaya actually paused when their mate grabbed their hand. "We came here to have a nice time. You don't have to embarrass yourself just because this guy challenges you to a drinking contest. He's just trying to make you look like a fool anyways like Hollyberry said. Let's just go enjoy the party somewhere else. Besides, I already know you're better than him anyways. That's all that matters." Pitaya looked almost ready to agree with her until the burning anger in Burning Spice got the better of him and he gave his own growl. "Then I win by default!" Instantly Pitaya's head snapped back to him. "WHAT?!" "You heard me!" He placed his hands on his hips. "You already agreed to it and backed out instantly like a coward! So that makes me winner by default! And I'm dedicating my victory to my beautiful Desert Rose-" "I NEVER SSSAID I BACKED OUT!! AND LIKE WITCHESSS I'M LETTING THE LIKESSS OF YOU DEDICATE ANYTHING TO MY MATE!!" He pointed at a nearby table. "I can hold more pintsss of hollyberry juice than you could destroy tonsss of rocksss! I accept your meager challenge and dedicate MY surefire win to MY mate!!" "Then let's put your claims to the test!! BARTENDER!!" The poor tiny cookie coward under the intense burning gaze of the dragon and beast. "BRING US PINTS OF THE STRONGEST HOLLYBERRY JUICE YOU HAVE!!" "AND DON'T SSSTOP BRINGING THEM UNTIL ONE OF USSS DROPSSS!! SSSPECIFCALLY HIM!!" "HA!! Now things have gotten interesting! Honey! Let's go watch the fools make bigger fools of themselves!" Lychee commented from somewhere as the two large cookies sat at opposite sides of one another. Desert Rose Facepalmed herself with a loud groan. "How come the ones attracted to me have to be the all brawn but no brains type?"

-In fact a whole crowd seemed to be gathering around the two as a nervous looking bar tender brings out pints of dark purple and pink hollyberry juice setting at least ten in front of each of them. "Destroy them, Spice!" A mischievous blueball shouted making Lychee shoot a death glare at him. "SNUFF HIM OUT, PITAYA!! SHOW HIM YOU'RE THE RED DRAGON!!" "Can't we all just calm down and talk about this!?" White Lily called from somewhere though she was ignored. "I refuse to have that Beast win! So you had better prove yourself, Dragon!!" "This is absolute nonsense!....That being said you'd better not fail at this, Pitaya!" Ananas's mate slapped their shoulder with a glare. "Ananas! You know better than that! Don't encourage this behavior!" "Put him in his place, Master!" Nutmeg Tiger glared calmly. "He is below you!" "C'MON, PITAYA!! This is child's play for you with all we've been through!" Hollyberry laughed. "Please don't encourage them!" Random cookies already started shouting taking sides and goding them on. The first pints of hollyberry juice were grabbed and both tilted their heads back downing pint after pint of the purple and pink liquids. The crowds cheered on the two as pint after pint was thrown back as the two of them grabbed the mugs and gulped them back-....

All the while Pitaya's mate watched arms crossed and scowling at the both of them.

Between the cheering and goading them on the sounds of mugs begging slammed into the table or dropped to the floor amongst them as the two swigged them back one after another, until the ten mugs each in front of them were gone. With one final gulp Burning Spice slammed his own mug on the ground smiling and panting slightly. "Not..bad..for a lizard!" Pitaya slammed their own mug to the side also breathing heavily. "Don't insssult..my presssence, Beassst!! I can out drink you anytime with any hollyberry juice!!" "HA! Is that so?! Then round two?!" SLAM!! The pink dragon's fist slammed down on the table."ROUND TWO FOR MY LADY'SSS HONOR!!" "BARTENDER!! ANOTHER ROUND!!" He smiled evilly. "BUT BRING US ROOT BEER INSTEAD!!" The crowd cheered louder. "WHOA!! Hold on a second!" Desert Rose grabbed Pitaya's shoulder looking concerned with made Burning Spice seeth more. "PITAYA, STOP IT!! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME!!" She yelled at them over the crowd cheering. "Fear not! I've dealt with thingsss much worssse than a Beassst and hisss gamesss!!" "You've literally NEVER drank root beer before!! It's like ten times stronger than the strongest hollyberry juice! And I am not carrying you all the way home!" "HA! If this little weakling can't handle his juice and root beer-" The Beast smirked leaning across the table. "-perhaps you should reconsider your choice in partners!" "Fat chance!" "YOU HEAR THAT, LIZARD!! I HAVE A CHANCE!! AND IT'S FAT!!" "YOU SSSTAY AWAY FROM HER!! BRING ME THAT BLASSSTED ROOT BEER!!" Desert Rose hid her face in her hands as the poor shaking bartender cookie brought another twenty pints same as before only this time filled with the bubbly carbonated brown soda pop many cookies had trouble stomaching one pint of. The crowd a mix of excited anticipation and and worry. Burning Spice felt a tug on his arm from Nutmeg Tiger. "Master, is this a wise decision? You yourself had never consumed more than three glasses of root beer at most in one night before." He waved her off. "Not to worry, Nutmeg Tiger. Didn't you hear my little Desert Rose? That glorified newt with wings had never even tasted root beer before. I have more of an advantage than they do! This is baby dough's play!"

The pints were lined up as the two glared down at one one another- Before Burning Spice snatched up one pint after another. Down went the first one, then the second one, then he grabbed the third one and downed at least half of it before coming up for air to take a breather and look at the dragon- And froze in shock as Pitaya grabbed one pint in each hand continuously downing one mug after another of the carbonated soda eyes closed and just CHUGGING IT!! Grabbing a sixth and seventh mug in their hands after tossing their empty fifth to the side. "GO, PITAYA!! GO!!" "C'MON, SPICE!! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!! ARE YOU GONNA LET HIM BEAT YA!?" That was all the initiative the red cookie needed to start doing the same. Growling before grabbing mugs with both hands and just started CHUGGING IT DOWN as well. "Oh. That is utterly repulsive behavior." Lotus's mate commented looking on in disgust as their elegant dragon chuckled. "Indeed but it is just as amusing watching those two make fools out of themselves." "If they get sick, I insist we leave this sorry excuse for a party!" It was not a surprise that Pitaya finished first dropping the pints to the ground among the already large pile of mugs littering on the table and at their feet. They swayed a little bit, and leaned an elbow on the table panting. "SSSSooo....d-do you admit de-defeat yet!?" Burning Spice didn't answer at first still working on downing his own remaining mugs. Down went number eight. Then nine before the mugs were dropped and the Beast gasped heavily opening one eye towards the dragon. "Like I'd lose to a puny pink newt with wings!" "I'M A DRAGON!! THE RED DRAGON!! OR GREENISH-RED DRAGON!! IM NOT THE PINK DRAGON!!" He smirked pointing at the remaining mug. "Besssidesss...i-it looksss like I 'won by default' now!" Burning Spice froze staring at that final mug like a bad omen for a moment before Pitaya chuckled. "What'sss wrong? SSScared you'll lossse? There'sss only a little shame admitting defeat in front of ssso many cookiesss." At this the red cookie cookie glared at him before grabbing the cup and everyone uttered an 'ooohhhhh' as he just chugged it down. Then cheered again once the empty mug was slammed to the table but Burning Spice was leaning heavily against the table much to Nutmeg Tiger's concern. "Like...tartarus..I. Would. Lose." He growled out between clenched teeth as Pitaya smirked. "ALRIGHT!! You both had your 'manly fun' or whatever it is you idiots think is going to impress me! Which isn't working for either of you two by the way!" Pitaya's mate hopelessly called again. "Just call it a tie and stop making fools of yourselves now!" "I think she does have a point, Pitaya." Hollyberry called which surprised Desert Rose because the slightly drunk woman had been cheering on Pitaya loudly for both rounds but now she looked concerned with how both of them were slightly swaying in their seats and breathing heavily. "That much root beer and hollyberry juice in your systems is enough for one night! You've proven yourself a true dragon now!" "NO!! This doesssn't end until HE admitsss defeat!!" Their eyes narrowed at the red beast. "WELL!?" "NEVER BEFORE YOU!!" "Master, please reconsider! A tie is not a loss." "It's not a victory either! And I won't leave here without one!" He leaned forward eyes narrowed as he smirked. "Round three, Dragon!"

Pitaya smirked evil-er and forced themselves up onto shaking legs wings flared. "Then let usss take the ssstakesss to the limit! BRING USSS TWO EMPTY BARRELSSS!!" Pitaya declared standing fully straight up. Burning Spice blinked a moment. "Barrels?" "INDEED!! Then bring out two more barrelsss of root beer and the ssstrongessst hollyberry juice you have!! AND THEN MIX THEM TOGETHER!!" They narrowed their eyes at the frozen Beast. "You and I will drink the mixture! One barrel full of it for each of usss!!" The crowd were still loud as Pitaya crossed their arms. "PITAYA, ARE YOU CRAZY!! YOU STOP THIS STUPID STUNT RIGHT NOW!!" "Of courssse, Beloved!! Of courssse he isss free to back down firsssst!!" "Master, I highly advise you to accept the tie! Please! It's not a loss! We can consider it a tactical retreat!" Burning Spice remained frozen a moment staring at the proud dragon before glancing at the beauty behind them...before scowling. "BRING ME A BARREL!! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW THE BEAST OF DESTRUCTION DESTROYS EVERYTHING IN MY PATH!! INCLUDING THE LIKES OF YOU!!" By now even Hollyberry and Nutmeg Tiger were on the verge of facepalming. But everyone moved out of the way as the trembling bartender recruited some other workers and patrons to help bring out the four barrels they needed. Everyone watched as two barrels of root beer and a hollyberry juice the deepest purplish-pink they'd ever seen was opened. Burning Spice wearily watched as they were each poured into the empty barrels creating a mixture even a witch probably wouldn't dare touch. Then one by one the barrels full of the brownish-purple bubbly liquid was placed in front of them one after another. Some fizz over was dripping down the sides as orange eyes stared at it like it was a vat of acid before glancing at the smirking dragon still. "Nervousss?" "HA!! Never! I was admiring the aroma! Never smelt a drink quite like this!" He quickly said back smirking. "Must taste delicious!" "Only one way to find out!" With that the dragon just lifted the barrel, liquid sloshing, and pressed it two their mouth as they just started GULPING it down! Which stunned the Beast for a moment before he growled, grabbed the barrel, hesitated two seconds looking at it before also gulping it away.

The mixture in fact was NOT delicious tasting. To either of them. But neither stopped and only continued to drink it down to the cheering on by the crowd. The only times they stopped was when Burning Spice occasionally paused to cough and take some gulps of air before going back to it. Pitaya NEVER stopped. Not for a second. Not for air. Just kept their eyes firmly shut and kept drinking mouthful after mouthful down as the barrel slowly became lighter and lighter.

"Look at them go!!" "I've never seen anything like it!" "That'd kill a normal cookie!" "He really is a Beast! He's drinking that vile drink like it's nothing!" "DRINK, PITAYA!! DRINK IT DOWN LIKE YOU'RE DYING OF THIRST!! SHOW THEM HOW DRAGONS ARE SUPERIOR!! DON'T DISHONOR OUR KIND!!" "SUPERIOR!? HA!! YOU'RE THE COOKIE OF DESTRUCTION!! YOU SURVIVED LAVA!! THIS IS NOTHING FOR YOU, SPICE!! DRINK IT!! YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!! SHOW 'EM WHO'S REALLY STRONGER!!" "Dragons are mighty creatures! They're stomachs must be made of steel!"

They drank and drank and DRANK!! Before Pitaya finally pulled away and threw the empty barrel to the side with a GIANT gasp for air that made every cheer. They sway a moment- Before quickly latching onto the table before they could fall over. Burning Spice wasn't too far behind as he continued to drink between breaths of air slowly down a little but never stopping- Until he much more violently smashed the empty barrel to the ground splintering it and raising his arms to the cheering crowds. "Y-YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME, DRAGON!!" "HA!! I FINISHED F-F-FIRSSST!!" They hiccuped covering their mouth a moment but slowly forced themselves to stand back up wings flaring. "You had to t-t-take...baby breaths!" "I-...N-Never said...anything ab-bout..wh-who finished first...It was about-" Burning spice winced a hand going to his cramping side. "-wh-who could..hold their juice..and s-soda! Which it seems we are s-still...at an ..impass!" "Well then we- OW!!" The dragon's head suddenly snapped back as something strong grabbed them by the ponytail and just YANKED back, a moment later Burning Spice's head also snapped to the side as he gave a sound of pain and surprise. The two of them were then yanked and pulled away from the table by a VERY angry small lady cookie who death glared at both of them. "YOU BOTH ARE STUPID!! THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE STILL AT!!" The crowd slowly dispersed as the lady yanked the wincing larger cookies out towards the door! "YOU BOTH ARE GOING OUTSIDE TO SOBER UP NOW BEFORE YOU IDIOTS THROW UP ALL OVER THE FLOOR!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO WOULD EMBARRASS ME LIKE THIS!! YOU'RE LUCKY SNAPDRAGON ISN'T HERE TO SEE THEIR DAD ACT LIKE A FOOL!! NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE DRINKS YOU TWO GREEDY CAKE HOUNDS GUZZLED DOWN!!" She continued to yell and yank the two wincing cookies along as everyone watched in silence....before finally the silence was broken by Golden Cheese laughing. "And you all wonder why I love her!"
