   Hello everyone! Quick thing before the chapter starts..

  This book is slowly coming to an end. I apologize, but my ideas are running out.

   (Later in the year, I will  most likely rewrite the book.)

Anyways! On to the chapter!!

--------------Muzan's-POV----------

I got word from Nakime that the Demon Slayer Corps were planning to infiltrate the Infinity Castle. I knew this wasn't a good sign, honestly. Potentially, all of my Upper Ranks could be killed. But, all of the Hashira and other Corps members could be killed.

In all honesty, I was over thinking this whole situation. They were the strongest demons I have created, it'll be no problem... Right?

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose as my elbow hit the hard mahogany of my desk.

I already lost four Upper Moons; Daki, Gyutaro, Hantengu, and Gyokko. I can't afford to lose anymore of them. Hell, even I could die. Very unlikely though. I am the Demon King, after all. I'm the strongest demon in existence.

There's still a possibility I could die, though.

I tend to overthink things, a lot.

***

As the estimated date that the Corps were going to infiltrate the Castle got closer, my anxiety only seemed to rise. I shouldn't be worried, but I am.

I pace back and forth in my office, just thinking of possible outcomes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm scared. Scared shitless.

It's frightening knowing that, in a few days time, I could be completely erased from this earth, that my STRONGEST demons could be killed, that the entire demon race could be eradicated.

It's nerve racking.

I continue to pace around my office, thinking of all these outcomes. We could win, and the Corps could be destroyed.. We could lose, and we could be eradicated. Or, they would call it off.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear Kokushibo's voice.

"Lord Muzan?" He said, putting one of his hands on my shoulder. I snapped out of it, and stared into his eyes.

"Yeah..?" I asked hesitantly, a bit of sweat running down my neck.

"I know you're nervous about this whole "Hashira Attack," but you've got to stop over thinking things." He said, pulling me a bit closer to himself.

"I know, I know. But what if—"

"I don't want to hear "what if," dear. We'll see the outcome when the day comes, so please stop worrying."

He interrupted.

I sighed, putting my head down in defeat. I already lost this argument, I couldn't push it.

"Fine, fine. I'll try and stop." I said, leaning against him. I felt one of his hands wrap around my waist, pulling me a lot closer. I leaned my head against his chest, listening to his heart beat and breathing. It felt oddly comforting, in a way. It really eased my nerves.

"Calm down, and stop worrying. When you worry, I worry." He said, running his hand along my spine.

"I'm trying to, but I'm just anxious about the whole attack. It could all go wrong, and we could all die. I don't day this enough, but I constantly worry about you, Douma, and Akaza. I can't afford to lose you three. I know I can just make more demons, but—" I rambled, and I was interrupted by a soft kiss from Kokushibo. I was surprised, to say the least. I kissed back, and he pulled away. His hands went down to both of my hips, and he kissed the side of my jaw.

"I told you, stop worrying. Whatever happens, happens." He said in a soft, yet firm tone.

I sighed, putting my hands on his shoulders, basically hugging him.

All I know right now is, I could be dead in the next few days. I couldn't help but be worried. I could easily murder all the Hashira, no problem. I'm more so afraid of Tanjiro, a sun breath user. He resembles Yoriichi so much, it's terrifying..

Hey all! I'm sorry for the VERY late chapter!! I was very busy since last release date, and *very* tired so I never got around to writing. So, enjoy the filler for now, as I get around to writing the SECOND TO LAST chapter for this book! (This is the Third to Last, don't worry!)

I hope to see all my lovely followers and readers in the comment section, as I enjoy reading all your lovely comments! I love interacting with you all, and you brighten my day up.

I'll also be happy to answer any questions you have about the book! In the meantime of writing the next chapter, feel free to talk to me in DMS here or on Discord! I put my Discord in a lot of my little A/N's so you all can suggest / request a book, so if you're interested in a ship for me to write, go ahead!!  I enjoy seeing requests, as it gives me A LOT more motivation. (I'm going to start the UzuRen fan fiction later this month, after this book is finished, and then I'll do a requested InoTan book!

All your requests go straight to my notes, so I don't lose them. (I have a habit of losing things, especially in my phone  😭)
