"Tsk, tsk, Muzan, did you really think you could hide from me?" Ren said
Muzan turned around and spotted a figure standing atop a rooftop, with the moon directly behind him like a halo. As the moonlight illuminated this figure, Muzan's eyes started widening and his pupils dilating to that of a pinhole.
"No..no! It can't be..!" Muzan started shaking, his seven hearts beat in unison and all his five brains flooded with fear. His inhuman instincts as a demon started raging, begging for him to flee.
Muzan's greatest enemy, now stood upon him, the source of his greatest fear and the impenetrable wall blocking his path to becoming the perfect creature looking down on him.
"You didn't forget did you?" Ren had a huge smile as he spread his arms, moonlight embraced his figure, giving him a vague outline.
A chilling sensation permeated throughout Muzan's bones, he became on edge but it was like his body couldn't decide on whether to run or to freeze due to it being a base instinct.
Ren dived down gracefully, when he reached the ground, he landed on his feet softly. The demon progenitor's breath hitched, his body finally moved as he got out of his paralyzed state.
With abject horror spreading in his eyes and drool pouring out of his mouth, he started to back away.
"Haa..! Haaa..!" Muzan's memories about his near-death experience at the hands of Yoriichi started repeating again and again. The feeling of death coursing through his being by the way of being slashed in subatomic levels haunted him.
"Gyaaaah!" The demon progenitor screamed like a baby, destroying his dignity as a near-perfect being, Kars is definitely better.
In one instant, Muzan launched himself towards the direction of Sasumaru. He blitzed across the street, passing her easily by half a second as he exerted all of his power, his strength, and focused it on his legs to escape.
"You think you can run away?" Despite reaching kilometers away in a blink of an eye, he still heard the lingering voice of the man who haunted his dreams, seemingly overlapping with the one before.
His seven hearts beat like drums providing him with an endless supply of adrenaline and his five brains conjured up millions of thoughts to find out what the best path to escape was.
"Nice try.." The chilling voice sounded again, right behind him this time. This drove Muzan into a frenzy of panic, then—
—He thought up a brilliant idea — The idea was for Nakime to take him into his fortress when he found a hidden spot. Plain and simple, since Muzan thought that only the people that he or Nakime allowed can get inside the Infinity Castle
I mean, there was no way Ren could follow him back to his fortress right?.. As that question bounced around his mind, he ran into a forest where he managed to find a tree circle with a small opening on one of the tree's bark.
Muzan hastily changed his form into a child and dived straight into it. He also sent a mental message to Nakime who received it in an instant.
Meanwhile, in the Infinity Castle, inside it's heart, there sits a female demon wearing a black floral yukata. She had a white makeup and bangs covering her eyes, two headpieces with bells and she also held a biwa in her arms.
"Hm.." She is Nakime, the Biwa demon and the one who controls the Infinity Castle, an endlessly large extra-dimensional space of wooden rooms, endless halls, and moving corridors.
Her mind tingled when she received the order of her lord. Quickly, she began to strum her biwa with her fair fingers. Her Blood Demon Art activated and she created a portal at Muzan's location, making him reappear near her.
Muzan panted raggedly, a smile blooming on his face. He started laughing happily, thinking that he finally outran the monster chasing him.
"Hehehe....HUEHEHAHAHAHA!! I GOT AWAY!" Muzan celebrated, laughing with a wide grin on his face, his demonic crimson eyes twinkling with delight and relief. He circled around in happiness, ignoring Nakime by a few meters away.

(Sasumaru's POV)
I clutched my rapidly healing graze from my fight earlier. I could feel my blood reduce it's rate of production and my view lowering, my Blood Demon Art had worn off. I guess that 30 minutes is my limit as of now.
"Hey, you okay?" While I was tending to my injuries, a voice sounded over to my side, my new bastard boss was checking up on me.. he's not that bad at all, I think?
"I'm okay." I respond back with a few words and stopped. I'm still angry at him for leaving me behind.
I could hear him inhale and sigh a deep breath, that's what you get! I bet you're disappointed now huh? Just like what I felt back then. He needs to learn how bad it feels to be left alone, that's his punishment.
Pat Pat
I stood up patting away the dust that stuck to my yukata. Then after that, I looked back at this idiot boss and nodded, signalling him that I was going to follow after him.
He calmly looked at me, our eyes focused on each other. "Let's talk about something tomorrow, we're going home tonight, and I've already gathered all of the arrows you used."
That talk better have sake and an apology or else I'm not having it. As our eyes locked to each other, I moved my mouth and my head.
"Okay."
After I nodded, he held out a hand. I looked at it for a second and realized that he was going to teleport us back to the mansion.
"Oh, would you like me to hold your shoulder instead? If you are uncomfortable of course." This idiot boss interjected quickly after noticing my stare towards his held out hand. He smiled towards me when he offered that.
"It's all good." I took his hand and put my hand over it.
"Then, let's go back home."
"This dummy idiot boss of mine.."
