Eye Patch Girl (KnY)

Hippity Hoppity, Your Life Shall Become Our Property

        It felt like falling forever when in reality it was likely only a few seconds, she grabbed a railing and managed to swing herself up. Just doing that made her hands red considering the fact she wasn't very strong and had to support her whole body weight to pull herself up, but she ignored it and managed to keep herself from falling to a pit of demons that swarmed forward to see if she had fallen to have a snack, "So...pit of demons, eh?" She pulled out a matchbox and struck one against the box, the fire burst into existence.

        "Well, no time like the present to test my theory." She shrugged and tossed the match into the pit, then lit a few more and tossed them down and before she knew it, the matchbox was empty. The demons shrieked while they burned alive, but she didn't see any sign of them dying or any harm except the burns, she shrugged and dived down to kill them all, "So Nezuko's blood fire isn't regular fire...it causes more than that..."

[A/n: no demons were harmed in the making of this chapter...maybe]

        Muttering the entire way, she delved through the Infinity Fortress's halls despite knowing there was a high chance of getting lost and dying somehow, corridors, winding door mazes, and sliced through windows into thin air all while killing demons along the way. It was absolute madness, but it almost seemed like it was bending to her will, getting easier to navigate and soon she found herself running through the place without banging into the occasional walls or doors that suddenly cropped up. The Infinity Fortress at least was wise enough to know that it should clear a path for a very angry Himo Sotte.

        She searched for somewhere near her but every door and every plummet our a window into infinite voids turned up no one in sight. 'Just how big is this place...' Himo wondered anxiously as she slid around a corner with a demon on her tail, a few seconds down the hall and the mass of demon mutilation crashed into the wall of the corner and lunged towards her, giving chase. Again, another plummet out a window was her getaway.

-

        "Heads up!...or down, for you at least, wow, either Zenitsu's been holding out on us or you really were rushed." Himo grinned at Kaigaku's head falling, and she was falling right along side him. He glared at her and she glared right back with a smile that told him that even her, a stranger he only now was able to catch a glimpse of was better than his demon self, stronger even as a human compared to him as a demon and even as an Upper Moon. It always seemed to be that way with humans being able to best even the strongest of demons despite their fragile lives and frail bodies. It just seemed that humans were indestructible. Why else do you hear stories of human triumph, perhaps he should've stayed as a human... "See you in Hell."

        She grabbed Zenitsu, fumbling for a second which scared the soul out of her before she got ahold of him and Yushiro flew in besides her surprisingly nimbly for someone with no former slayer experience or training, though he knew how to throatchop like a champ speaking from personal experiences, so she gave him quite a bit of credit. And with Blood Demon Art, he also had his ways. "Give him here! I can fix him and you have to keep fighting!" He shouted to her as they finally landed in another hallway, "Noted." She said casually and carefully transferred him to the teal haired boy.

        Then leapt off and away, the halls were easier to navigate for her than most people she sensed currently running around and struggling to find any way out, one of the crows noticed her smooth progress and slapped an eye onto her forehead. She recoiled and palmed at her head to feel what it was after. "Ok!...That kinda hurt." Himo muttered as she realized what had been attached to her. The paper contained a symbol that she could vaguely read, knowing there was another handful of demon scum who could probably smell her fear just a few halls and doors away, she kept running and began adding more information onto the layout of the Infinity Fortress for Kiraya.
       
"I will find you, and I'll put you back together again before ripping you apart like paper, Muzan."

        As she leapt through more of the corridors where she inevitably got lost over and overthinking things. What was the probability that it was just going in circles to fuck with her because Muzan controlled it, Himo was wallowing in so many thoughts that if they were physically manifested, she'd have died by drowning. That was until she began dropping through a white void because of a mistep as a corridor abruptly ended, for a brief yet quiet moment she thought: 'Is this heaven? Am I dead? Aw, I didn't get to slap Muzan in the face...'

        After snapping out of her confusion, she flailed around for her sword upon realizing it slipped out of its sheathe, which was still falling from above her and would definitely run her through like a dango skewer if it was left that way. Even worse was that she spotted a demon below, so quickly sheathing her sword and readying her elbow, it would be ol' reliable that would do the job temporarily. What was strange though was not that the entire space was an open white, but that this demon was a singular demon and not a mess of at least twenty fused together.

        "Hey! Surprise motherfucker!" She shouted and slammed into Kokushibou full force elbows first and nimbly avoided being sliced apart by him after he registered what had just happened and that he'd been elbowslammed by someone really hard. "And just who the hell are you?" He irked, this girl was irritable from what Muzan had directed a few of his subordinates to try to be able to kill her but it seemed every single time she had managed to outsmart them. But a seemingly immature sounding girl that says motherfucker one second into meeting him? Not exactly what he had expected.

        "What's it to you..." She kept trying to look at one pair of eyes but since he had more eyes than she had limbs, it was a bit more complicated than usual when it came to eye contact with someone that had six eyes total and three pairs, he merely sighed in minor frustration and said as she struggled to focus on him. "Just pick a pair and just look, okay? Yeah top middle bottom who cares- yeah, that's good." This occasionally happened and it was quite infuriating whenever it happened.

        "Then you should've had less eyes when you became a demon." Himo said irritatedly, fixing her eyes on the middle pair of eyes. "Oi! Stay out of my fight! You weaklings always get to meet Upper Moons, it's my turn!" Sanemi shouted at her but with a wide grin. He remembered her quite well, she was the one who was quick, annoying, smart, had a smartass mouth, and fought well. In this case, he was glad to have her on his side for the fight any day since Genya seemed to approve of Sotte. Not to mention a good help. "Then fight, you rat bastard!"

        "Fine, I will!" Sanemi argued in mock offense, and lunged at Kokushibou, looks like being in a demon's domain had no effect on her smart mouth. "He's really not that bad after all." Himo muttered as he leapt into battle.

-

        "I'm sure your brother isn't trying to be that way...perhaps he's just a little tensed." She had said towards Genya while drinking a cup of tea casually, still sitting on Inosuke mind you. Even if she wasn't very heavy by any means considering she was short and trained to be light and swift, he and his pride weren't exactly willing to fight her only to lose instantly.

"I mean...I know siblings hate each other, but I'm sure sometimes they love each other when conditions are right..."

"Are you sure? It really seems like sometimes he just hates me."

"Even demon siblings have spats, but they made up in the end. Maybe you and Sanemi will too."
