Yoriichi jumped from tree to tree, running from something, or rather someone.
Kocho Shinobu was speeding after him, she was smiling, one more vein in her face.
Yoriichi will never understand women, he just made a sincere comment about his opinion.
"You should know how to be more honest with yourself Kocho."- Yoriichi said with a calm face, as he jumped, seeing Kocho with his unsheathed sword going like a bee on him, more to Kocho's bad luck he is faster than a bee .
Yoriichi then disappeared from Kocho's sight, she looked around and then saw him sitting on a branch with his eyes closed, while it looked like he had slept.
If kocho could get angrier than she was, she would kill someone, a very heavy black aura surged from her, the vein on her forehead seemed to get bigger, so the grip of her sword got bigger.
"Ara ara, you can't say that when a lady talks to you Kamado-san~~."- the sweet and subtle tone she spoke could be very beautiful if it wasn't for the black aura and her holding the katana in her hand with an extraordinary grip.
Yoriichi opened one eye slowly, to see the terror he for some reason feared deeply, so he got up and jumped.
Well, why are they chasing each other, because someone as calm as Kocho could be running from someone who would never stress anyone not even a fly like Yoriichi?
Let's see a few hours ago
***************************************************
A few hours earlier….
Yoriichi was in the casual clothes he and his Incarnation wore.
"So you and Kinoe who will accompany me on the mission?'' .- she asked while the smile she had never left.
Yoriichi really wanted to raise an eyebrow, he didn't wear the demon hunter's uniform unless she thinks it's over his Kimono and Haori, well for him to hunt that Oni he had to start going with the flow.
"Yes, but you shouldn't arrive the day after tomorrow, I had taken advantage of that for the Ritual I do once a year, and I had to cancel it." He said while the icy look he gave Shinobu made her shiver a little, but it wasn't noticed by Yoriichi, because he quickly turned around, so he took his katana, and Kocho analyzed the blade from afar, and it didn't look like a nichirin it looked more like an ordinary blade.
The 2 then walked Shinobu starts throwing a flurry of question to Yoriichi who got a huge sweat bead, he didn't like to talk much, and always preferred to stay quiet in his corner, and the vein in Shinobu's head grew because he thought that was being ignored.
"Ara ara, you're ignoring me Tomioka-san" She spoke as she stopped and froze for a second.-
"Tomioka? your boyfriend?.- he asked with total innocence, then he received a punch in the stomach at a frightening speed, he almost lost his breath, until he realized that the punch was kinda weak, but the punch had superhuman strength that he admitted .
"Ara, did you say something? ''- she spoke with her smile more with a vein on her forehead, she knew he really didn't know who Tomioka Giyuu was, but saying that the 2 were in a relationship for some reason that irritated her deeply.
"Gomen..." he said while not even changing his expression, for some reason Shinobu thought he was making fun of her but she had no proof she took a deep breath and sighed deeply.
Until then she was stopped from walking by Yoriichi stopping her with his right arm, and then making a sign of silence.
They walked calmly, until then Yoriichi was making signs with his hands.
"*Let's split up*".- he made the sign with his hands, pointing for each one to go in a direction, Shinobu reluctantly waved, but she nodded her head she was climbing from branch to branch and using the trees, Yoriichi looked to the right side to which it was his duty to go, he walked calmly and then looked back and saw that Kocho was no longer following him.
He just disappeared, leaving a dust where he was.
He then tried to track the Onis, he had felt several non-human signatures around these parts, but they were divided into 2 groups, each on one side, he then felt the signatures that were closer and stronger for him, while the one that had the most amount for Kocho, she's a Hashira she should be able to take care of herself right?
He then climbed a tree and stayed there, his presence not even Higher Moons could feel him thanks to the Altruistic Sense, which allows no one to ever feel him, and the same as comparing a tree to the field.
So he jumped from tree to tree, and then he saw that it was close to the city, where Tanjiro and he always went down the mountain to deliver coal, both came to get coal but Yoriichi had a little colder heart than Tanjiro, he was kind yes, but he didn't always think for the good of others he knew the corruption of humanity, and he killed them in cold blood without a care.
That's why, instead of giving coal, he sold it like a merchant, he sold it so he wouldn't have to keep giving it away for free.
He was calm, he was traveling in thoughts again, he took a deep breath and then looked down, and saw the group of Onis he had to kill.
The Group was very varied about the Onis, some still had the humanoid form, while others had already lost that aspect, becoming monstrosities.
Until then the strongest of this group, a humanoid with black hair and a beard and golden eyes, but what most marked these eyes and that one was simply a "common" eye while the other had the number 2.
"Inferior Moon 2?" .- he simply thought surprised, to see one of the bosses so to speak around these parts, even if a Hashira kills easily.
More like he thought when he saw "Lower Moons Kill Demon Hunters, Higher Moons Kill Hashiras".
Even so he was grouped with 4 more demons 2 of humanoid figures, while others seemed to stop being human their appearances were 6-armed monsters, while they both had one eye and one mouth one had an ear in the left ear while the other had one. right ear, Yoriichi didn't even bother to analyze them.
Everyone was going to rest by their sword today.
Then an Oni was coming down on him.
Yoriichi then came down with a somersault, he drew his sword quickly cutting off his head and arms, while he was in the air, his eyes flashed and his hair was flying in mid-air swinging his earrings were wiggling, his right hand was with his katana and in his left hand its sheath.
A shiver came from everyone.
The Oni's Head had just been cut off, he didn't even have time to say anything, he looked at Yoriichi with a killing intent.
"Y-You bastard!!"- He screamed until then his head started to disappear, and then it turned to dust.
Yoriichi didn't even flinch with the swearing, he simply raised his sword to Moon Inferior 2, who was scowling at him.
"A demon hunter here?".- came the question of one of the monsters that left their human form.
"Who cares, we'll kill him."- he said with a growl, while his 6 arms moved, one pair of his arms were in the belly region, while the other pair were in the shoulders, of his other 2 arms that were in the same place than a normal human but his skin color was a shade of purple.
The other monstrosity was waving, unlike the other one on his side, he had a pair of arms behind his back close to his shoulders, while another 2 were glued to the shoulders of the arm only staying in front, he had a gray color.
The other humanoid figure who was with them was waving, he had white hair and purple and blue eyes.
he wore a white kimono, and his skin was fair.
Yoriichi simply remained neutral, until then he appeared in front of the Green Oni, and turning he was with his sword showing, a simple cut in the chest with a little force, was simply almost fatal for the Oni who felt a deep cut and deep, and a gust of wind coming out behind him.
He spat blood, while trying to take a deep breath, until then Yoriichi tried to cut his head taking advantage of the fact that he was kneeling in front of Yoriichi, who already had the katana coming down, then the 4 arms held his hand, and Yoriichi saw that he was trying to stop him. lower your hand but.
"You're weak."- He spoke as he put on a little more strength, which simply couldn't do anything to stop his body from being cut in half.
He fell, his body wasn't regenerating, and then his body started to fall apart, Yoriichi looked to the side with a serene look.
The Humanoid Figure was scared but that fear didn't show, it had a goal.
Kill this Hunter.
Then his hands took on a red tone, but it couldn't be shown, so he simply spoke.
"(Blood Demonic Art: Screaming Gale)" .- The Oni spoke as he opened his palms and gusts of winds will go towards Yoriichi who didn't even move his facial expression.
The gusts were easily blocked, where the winds were going Yoriichi swung his sword and blocked them easily letting only a light breeze pass him, so he simply propelled forward trying to focus on the most troublesome one in white so far.
He saw the Lower Moon without moving as if he was sizing him up, he appeared in front of the white Oni who had so far smiled, a victorious smile like a hunter snatching his prey.
Yoriichi felt the purple Oni behind him, and then he spun vertically, hitting his waist, until then the gusts of wind coming towards him.
so for a second.
He saw the Oni regenerating where he was hit in the waist, and saw the gusts of wind rush towards him, his blade had passed, it began to take on a crimson hue, it began to glow and heat emerged.
Yoriichi's Image for the Oni changed his hair black, its tips gained a red tone, his mark started to glow along with his eyes stopped having the pupil an all white eye, while his blade had reached a crimson point.
All the Onis trembled and sweated, a dread filled their entire being.
Even in reality Yoriichi didn't change at all, of course his hair had the tips being red, and his mark was red, but it didn't shine.
Only his blade turned bright crimson, shining like a sun
Muzan's cells carry a Fear.
A Fear and a Trauma that he will never overcome, that passes thanks to Muzan's blood in each Oni will always have this fear thanks to his cells.
The more Blood the closer you are to Muzan thanks to the bond and link he has with all the Onis.
After all, use this example, what if the queen of an anthill dies? what happens to the Anthill, Simple dies.
They need the king or queen to survive, the same thing works with the Onis only more literally than they think, the supernatural is something amazing, but nothing in this world is immortal.
And he will be proof that not even Muzan will survive.
He disappeared from everyone's sight, and appeared behind the White Oni.
"(Breath of the Sun: Second form: Heki-ra no ten!)" .- Yoriichi rotated his body in a vertical movement to attack in a 360° strike
The perfect Circle of Flames was made torn out and burning the white Oni's neck, its head flew away.
Yoriichi then didn't stop, he disappeared from view and appeared behind the purple Oni who then widened his eyes.
"(Breath of the Sun: Twelfth Form: Enbu!)" .- he spoke while a horizontal cut from the bottom to the top was made by cutting the Oni, but the cut was from the neck on the right side crossing when passing the left side of the abdomen, separating 2 parts of the body, Mais Yoriichi turned the other way around, and did the same thing only on the other side, making an "X" dividing the body into 4 parts.
The Oni fell and started to fade, but he tried to say something cursing, but Yoriichi didn't even care and turned his back, and walked to the Lower Moon that was shaking by then, the Primordial Fear that Muzan has for Yoriichi Tsugikuni and another world .-
But who wouldn't if you were in Muzan's shoes, imagine, You're an immortal in the night, so you underestimate someone, and that someone gives you the roll and discovers your weakness in seconds, and almost ends your life, right in the middle of the night .
Where you are immortal.
Yoriichi walked calmly, he then saw his enemy trying desperately to run away but his legs were shaking.
Yoriichi simply passed the crimson katana around the Moon's neck, while he blinked and saw that his head was already falling, while the Oni's blood on the blade began to burn on the blade itself and disappear as if it had never been dirty with blood.
"Tell that to Muzan Kibutsuji, I have returned Muzan, after all I was born just to kill you , no matter how many lives, I will hunt you down and enjoy, you will not run away even in 300 pieces, or 50 or just 1, I will come to you cut his throat.- he spoke with a serene voice, but you could see the cold tone he had in it.- he said while turning his back and walking towards where Kocho felt, and jumping from tree to tree.
Then the Lower Moon's head disappeared.
****************************************************** *******
A tall, heavily muscled man in his late twenties, with unnaturally pale skin that could easily be mistaken as unhealthy and unhealthy, curly black hair, and sharp, almond-shaped eyes. His pupils are vertical, like a cat's, and colored plum red. He also has sharp, blue nails on his hands.
He was wearing a white felt hat with a red ribbon and a rather flamboyant outfit. The outfit consisted of an embroidered black tuxedo and white tie over a black dress shirt and white dress pants. He also wore black loafers.
(N / A : Le-se Muzan Jackson)
Aquele era Muzan Kibutsuji o Demon King
He had felt one of his Lower Moons disappearing, meaning he had died, but the Lower Moon that died was Lower Moon 2 was not any oni he had.
Plus, he was shaking, he couldn't believe it, HE HAD DIED , the problem wasn't the moon's death, he didn't really care about any of them, if he died it was because he was weak.
But it was the voice of "HIS" The Words of "HIS" he lived for over 1000 years, over 400 years ago a demon hunter came.
He was using the "Divine Breath" he had created and used the Sun itself, and destroyed it and Humiliating him, he was only alive here because he was smarter.
But he had died, his Upper Moon was almost killed with a cut by this hunter when he was 85 years old.
Then he died on his feet, the hunter who had caused him the most trouble, and still causes shivers to flood Muzan's spine.
But, he was back. "He" was back, he had come back from the living worlds.
Muzan he had disguised himself here with a human family, he was the husband and father.
But he hated the 2 with every ounce of his being, he just needed them for a disguise, but he needed to get out of here or his cover could fall.
Why could your disguise fall? simple.
His body was releasing a lot of killing intent, but it was shaking so much he was afraid.
Yes, he will never admit it out loud, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni is a "Monster" and he is alive even after 400 years is impossible.
Muzan quickly left his house, as he had to give a mission to All Oni, it couldn't be him.
Couldn't and shouldn't, but.
"I was born only to Kill you, in the past life and in this one" .- his voice was in Muzan's mind, he was shaking every ounce of his being, he was shaking.
There was no way and could not.
This was repeated over and over in Muzan's head as he walked around, not caring about time or location.
Until some kind of Japanese doors appeared on the floor opened, and Muzan entered and then closed.
Those Japanese doors disappeared
****************************************************** ******************
Yoriichi was walking towards Kocho, he was walking calmly, until then seeing Kocho landing and turning next to an Oni, who until then had fallen dead on the ground without his head being cut, the Oni's body seemed to try to breathe, but he couldn't
Yoriichi saw the Oni's muscles and respiratory system and saw that everything was poisoned, in 5 specific points.
"Ara ara, Kamado-san looks like you've finished your work don't you?" She spoke with a smile and then with a monstrous skill with the blade she started to turn between her fingers then the back of her hand, so the blade fell. in the sheath.
"Yes, a group of 5 normal Oni".- he lied about the lower Moon, he doesn't want attention yet, first he will try to leave the house, then go to Demon Corp.
"Great then the job is done".- She said with a smile, while smiling.
One more thought he saw, was that this smile was fake, it was no longer forced, it seemed that with the time that passed, that forced smile became her genuine one.
Yoriichi understood this well, in his time as a murderer, he killed without any mercy, his first deaths he screamed with sadness, the trauma he had when he saw blood lasted 2 months, and in that time he had to always say he was fine, with a forced, fake smile.
And with that even so, after that he was forced to go back to training and get back to killing.
He learned to smile when he was never well.
So after the 150 deaths of people he put an end to, he didn't smile anymore, he'd rather be colder, not show any fake emotion anymore, than have that fake smile.
But Shinobu Kocho was something much deeper than that, even so Yoriichi couldn't compare to the pain Kocho carries, it was a void, filled with the black flame of hate, with a vengeful spirit.
And all this hidden by a smile that promised calm, and security for those who saw it.
"Why do you lie?".- came Yoriichi's question.
Shinobu raised an eyebrow at what he's talking about, the job is completely done, she had killed all the oni quickly.
"Why do you wear that mask?".- came the better question from Yoriichi while Kocho froze.-
"Ara? I don't know what you're talking about Kamado-san."- she tried to end this conversation, as he knows, as he found out.
"You, your smile, that mask, you hide a lot of contempt, anger, hatred for something, it's okay, your secret is safe with me, I know how you feel Kocho."- came the simple speech, he has to say that you know, to say that this secret of hers is safe with him, and to say that he shows how he feels, he needs to become someone important or intimate to get her to talk.
Kocho's eyes widened so much she didn't know what to say, she didn't even know this man well and he knows her biggest secret?
"Maybe then you'll never get a husband."- came Yoriichi's answer even though he did it to get rid of his personal life question, he's a damn hypocrite yes, and that's a problem? sue him if he goes.
Then a sword went towards Yoriichi's head who simply turned his head to the left making it pass.
Yoriichi slowly turned his head, and saw Kocho with a black aura, totally heavy, with a vein in his head.
A man's primal instinct if a woman is mad at you.
"Run"
****************************************************** *********************************
Back to the Present…..
Yoriichi dodged easily, as he jumped from tree to tree, seeing Shinobu going after him, which then a jump was made of her, she fell on top of Yoriichi who simply stopped.
The 2 Fell, Yoriichi seeing the size of the fall, turned around and hugged Kocho and then the 2 fell, Yoriichi preventing any falling on Kocho being the human pillow.
He faked a cough, and then opened his arms where Kocho stood up with a blush on her face, and then she saw the size of the fall, and quickly calculated and looked at Yoriichi.
"Didn't know you were like this Kocho, could you get off me? unless a young and pretty girl likes to be on top of a man?".- Yoriichi spoke with his serene tone.
Kocho was already on her feet while cleaning her Haori, as she turned her face away, you couldn't see her face, but Yoriichi knew she was blushing.
He wanted to laugh, but he felt a bad feeling.
He hopes it's nothing, but he might just be home early tomorrow morning.
May Kami be with the families
