Chapter 5: The Meeting

After an hour of making 'love' with Tamayo, Muzan got up from the bed while putting the naked beauty who slept atop his chest aside gently.

Looking at her beautiful sleeping face, he couldn't help but grin.

"With you by my side, nobody int hsi world can harm me anymore…now I need to take care of that…thing." Muzan said a to himself.

He got up and went towards Tamayo's study room where she often conduct her research, write journals, etc.

It is also the place where in the cannon timeline, a Kasugai crow came to invite Tamayo so she could help Demon Slayer corps conduct research  on developing a drug for 'taking care' of Muzan.

Given how big the demon slayer corps is, with their resources and inflience, she could easily find whatever she needed to make the drug faster.

CREEK

Muzan gently slide open the shoji door and entered the room,. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but be disgusted after seeing the current state of Yushiro.

He was bloodied with cuts and bruises everywhere near his chest and limbs. His eyes were dried with stains of blood painted on his cheeks.

"What a loser you are Yushiro. Couldn't even fight back for the woman you loved, heh." Muzan said with a sly expression on his face

Hearing him, Yushiro slowly moved his head up. Pent up rage which kept hidden beneath his heart finally erupted.

He wanted to attack this man and tear him apart. Thoughts of making a bloody mess  of this man erupted in his mind, but he was too weak to take any action.

"Y-you d-demon..you d…dare sho-w yourself…" Yushiro spoke with great difficulty.

"Oh, look what we have hear…" Muzan walked towards Yushiro and then knelt down  as he met face to face with Yushiro.

He looked at him with  disgust and then held Yushiro's face tightly.

"By the way, she was amazing  on bed. She kept saying my name everytime I thrusted inside her pussy…oh man she was great…poor boy, you can't ever get to experience that. What a virgin! Hahahahaha." Muzan loved every second of Yushiro's misery.

"You better pray that you live a good life in your next life."

"Say hi to Amaterasu for me."

With that Muzan activated his blood demon art and absorbed Yushiro.

After a decade of not devouring anyone, today he felt good..strangely the reminiscence of Makkari within him did not feel agonized by his current self's actions.

"I guess he hated Yushiro too I see."

Muzan wasted no further time, and went to pick Tamayo and leave this place.

Carrying her like a princess, Muzan silently signaled Nakime to open a gate to the infinity Castle.

She has been watching them with her 'demon eyes' in case things went south.

Muzan didn't really need her help but it was always safe to take extra precautions.

Space started to twist around him as the entrance of  the Infinity Castle formed in front of his naked eyes.

He entered the door and left the clinic behind without leaving any trace of him.

***

It has been few days since Muzan took Tamayo with him. Today was a good day

Gyokko finally found the location of Sword Smith Village. 

Muzan couldn't help but be excited about the things he was about to do.

Muzan didn't waste any time and told  Nakime to summon all upper moons for a meeting.

He was going to tell them what role they had to play in his grand plans.

***

In the meeting room where all the upper moons were about to gather, Akaza could be seen standing as he looked around, Gyokko accompanied him.

"So lovely to see you lord Akaza…what was it 90 years since I saw your face?" Gyokko said as he came out of his pot.

"Here I was worried that you might have perished ? I was worrying for nothing hehehe." Gyokko laughed haughtily. He loved to taunt Akaza given he was the only upper moon demon who had more humanity left than most of them.

"Biwa woman, what about lord Muzan? Has he arrived yet?" Akaza said out loud as he made his way through the Castle.

TIING

The sound of biwa spread throughout the castle followed by a beautiful feminine voice.

"I can say with certainty he has not."

"What about upper one? Is he here? Don't tell me it was 'him' who somehow got killed and that's why we are here?"

"Whoa whoa whoa…you're beginning to hurt my feelings lord Akaza..weren't you a  little bit concerned about me..?"

Doma who just arrived,  said as he put his hand around Akaza's shoulders.

"Here I was concerned that something might have happened to you. After all you are a cherished comrade of mine and I will be heartbroken if something happened to any of my comrades."

"Ahhaa greatings lord Doma." Said Gyokko as he bowed to show his respect to Doma.

"Oh hi there Gyokko? Long time no see? Looks like you got a new pot? Its beautiful! I still remember the one you gave me, I use it now to display a woman's head." Doma said while making sure Akaza heatd him clearly.

"I never intended it to be used like that, though I must say I am intrigued lord Doma."

"You will love it! You should come to my place sometimes."

Akaza clenched his fist tightly as he kept listening their conversation.

"Get it off." Akaza said with rage as he clenched his fist for a punch. He hated when other upper moons talked about slaughtering innocent woman like it was nothing. He might be a demon but he had sworn he would never harm women.

"Take your filthy hands off of me."

SPURR

Akaza punched Doma  really hard that it broke all of Doma's teeth and made a bloody mess of his face.

"Ohhh,,wow. Unless I am mistaken…looks like you have gotten a little stronger" Doma said teasingly as he regenerated back to his healthy self.

TIING

"You asked about upper one earlier…he was already here before you. In fact, he's here all this time." Nakime replied to Akaza.

""Huh?"" Exclaimed the rest of the upper moons.

"I have been here for the last twenty years…seems like lord Muzan is on his way."

Kokushibo vanished from his area and appeared before the rest of the upper moons.

The upper moons were kind of surprised to see him. Who wouldn't? He was the second strongest demon after Muzan.

He has the most respect after Muzan among the upper moons demons.

"And Doma, let me advise you one thing."

"Do not go too far when lord Muzan is here…this time he will certainly kill you if you upset him with your usual ways"Said Kokushibo while remembering the  huge change lord Muzan went through.

He finally brought a wife with him…and this time it was a demon who was turned into one even before him.

He feels like lord Muzan has become more dangerous. Its something about him that makes him feel a primal instinct imbued onto all living creatures.

Fear.

Yes, although Kokushibo did not fear earlier. He certainly do now. Muzan, even if he was his progenitor, and had a business like relationship, for the first time in centuries, he finally realized how much dangerous is Muzan.

He became more conscious of his own weakness.

To be not as good as his brother greatly upset him even to this day.

"Huh? What do you mean?  Lord Kokushibo?" Doma asked Kokushibo with a puzzled expression.

TIING

"Lord Muzan is here."

As soon as all upper moons heard Nakime, their heart started to beat faster as their progenitor approached them.

***

Muzan slowly walked towards the meeting area.

Makkari's inner anime fanboy was screaming to witness this event.

Muzan couldn't help bith sigh at his former self's interests. Truly a nerd he was.

He snapped back to reality as he arrived at the meeting spot.

"Greetings lord Muzan…its been a long time since I was basked in your glorious presence my lord." Doma greated earnestly. Strangely he was showing more respect to him than usual. Oftentimes he would he more playful.

Rest of the upper moons offered their greatings to him as well.

"First time In a long time, we lost two upper moons. Truly pathetic." Muzan started as as he began discussing things that greatly upsets him.

"I did not turn you all into demons to be defeated by mere human…what a disappointment, 'sigh'"

"What about the blue slider lily? Centuries have gone by, and you still can't even find a clue. It's a joke, really—a sick joke at that."

"Aahh I am sorry for being a disappointment my lord. Allow me to atone for my failure. Should I grope my eye balls out? my head?…Or should I slaughter a village full of innocent humans?"

Muzan raised his eyebrow when Doma mentioned his last offering.

Muzan approached Doma, kneeling to meet his gaze directly. "'I have a task for you,"  he said.

"If you accomplish this..I might as well give you more of my blood." Muzan said as he held Doma's face and whispered near his ears.

Doma widened his eyes in surprise. It seems Kokushibo was right. Lord Muzan has certainly chainged. The man who hated change..changed himself? 

Such drastic change in personality is a shocking thing for him to grasp. But this aspect excited him even more.

"What do I have to do lord Muzan?"

"Oh nothing much…you must bring a certain hashira  to me. Kill anyone whose in your way."

"Her name is…Mitsuri Kanroji."
