chapter 15

3rd pov

Silent cries were heard from a dark room. A tied up girl had tears flowing out of her eyes.
'Why do these things always happen to me?'
The red-head thought to herself. The uppermoons have been sucking out her blood for the past week. Only two uppermoons have refrained from consuming her blood. One has stripes on his face and pink hair. The other one resembled the girl.

She was confused on why these two were the only ones to not drink her blood, but she didn't complain. She has already  lost her hope that someone would find her. After all, no human could enter the infinity castle without having to ask that demon 'Nakime'.

The girl would have probably been dead by now of it wasn't for the strongest uppermoon.
He came once a day and feed her small things like a piece of bread, and he would also give her water. She was confused by his action, but didn't question it.
The Kamado was already used to the torture she gets put through but today something weird happened.

Uppermoon One entered the room, with nothing in his hands but his sword. Her eyes widened. Will they finally kill her, or do something else to her?

He swung his sword and the redhead closed her eyes, ready to be killed, but that didn't happen.
The demon sliced the belts that were keeping her tied up. Her arms fell to the ground, and she quickly took off the fabric from her mouth.

"Why did you free me?"She asked, but the demon didn't answer.
"You have to leave or Muzan will kill you."
"But won't you get in trouble if you free me? And why di you want to free me anyway?" She continued to ask him questions, but the demon didn't answer.

"A Hashira is waiting outside for you." He simply stated, but the Kamado didn't give up and continued asking him the same question over and over again, she knew no one could walk in, because she doesn't smell a single demon except the one on front of her.
The man finally gave in.
"I don't know why I am freeing you, but I have this feeling that I have to save you or Muzan will destroy Japan. And now leave."

The girl did as she was told and went through the door, with the uppermoon right behind her.

It was night. Sumiko has never felt happier seeing the sky and feeling the grass underneath her feet.
She took a deep breath of the fresh air she was missing the entire time.

She saw a man in the distance and recognised his scent. It was Giyuu.
Tears formed in her eyes.
"Thank you Kokushibo for saving me for this torture. I thought I would die in there." She cried out.

"I have to leave now. Muzan will probably sense that you're gone." He said to the crying girl.

The Kamado looked behind her and the demon was gone.
"Sumiko!" She heard the water pillar call her name.

The same moment she heard the water pillar call her name, it felt like all of her strength left her body and she was about to fall on her knees, but the Hashira caught her in time.

"Sumiko are you okay?? Wait let me check you-"
"Please let's just stay like this please.."

The water Hashira put his arms around her and noticed the hickeys and wounds she got.
He has never felt more resentment for demons than in that moment. He swore to himself that he'll kill every single demon there is even if it'll cost his life.

A few minutes passed and the water Hashira noticed that the girl has fallen asleep. He softly kissed her forehead and picked the girl up.
The loner made his way back to the Butterfly estate holding the girl in his arms.

At the Butterfly estate

The insect Hashira saw the water pillar and went to annoy him like usually, but noticed a girl in his arms.
"Sumiko-chan! Where did you find her?!"
"I'll explain later just please treat her wounds and put her too bed. Maybe in a private room without her friends."
