Adopting a Jellyfish Demon

Metal detector go *BEEP* *BEEP*

Kokushibo is walking around a town, it's night of course, he's out hunting as usual and he's bored. No demon slayers have presented themselves and no humans have intrigued him either. He walks around, even though he's thoroughly eaten his fill of people he's still walking around just exploring. He finds no purpose in this aimless walking, he's just doing it because he can.

After a couple minutes of walking he comes across a child, she's not normal. He notices her bluish skin, her strange glowing jellyfish hat, her rounded but still sharp ears, her water colored hair. "You..." Kokushibo says while pointing at her, "Who are you...?" The little girl turns and stumbles towards him, she stands in front of him not saying anything. "How old are you?" He asks. The girl holds up three fingers to him. "Three..?" Something's not right, Kokushibo thinks to himself as he remembers Muzan telling him not to make anyone older than 60 a demon or younger than 10 a demon.

"What is your name?" Kokushibo kneels down and awaits an answer, but the girl simply shakes her head. "You... do not have one?" She shakes her head again, she's a demon, the least I can do is help her. Kokushibo thinks as he inspects her appearance to check to see if she really is a young child.

He notices her feet, they're pierced with pieces of glass and are bleeding profusely. He immediately picks this girl up and without telling her what he's doing walks down to the nearest river and sits down on the bank of the river.

He crosses his legs and sits the girl in his lap, he then takes one of her legs out of his lap and gently pulls out a piece of glass. She doesn't react, and he is puzzled at this but continues to pull the glass out of her feet. He rinses off the blood in the water of the river as she tries to reach out and touch the water.

He pulls her back and she looks up at his face, she reaches up and tugs on his hair, he finishes taking the glass out of her feet and sits her onto his lap again. He takes a roll of bandages from his pocket and starts to wrap her feet. She makes some quiet noises and squirms a bit, he holds her tighter and won't release her.

He finishes helping her feet and stands up with her in his arms, he holds her out in front of him and she reaches forward and grabs his nose. He feels the corners of his lips pull up but he suppresses the smile quickly advancing on his face.

Kokushibo decides to take her with him, clearly her parents don't care about her with her feet being in that condition. He thinks for a second, what should he call her? Something short. Kaiko? No, Aizoko? Too long. Maizono? Too long again. Monoko? Momako? Momo? He likes the sound of Momo but is it too short?

He decides to test it, "How do you like the name... Momo?" The girl thinks about it for a second before making a happy noise and nodding her head. "You like it... good... I will take you with me then.." Kokushibo still can't uncover his true motives for giving Momo her name and taking her but he decides to just do it.

Kokushibo walks for a while with Momo in his arms until he comes upon a house, it's old and big. Nobody has been in it for a while, clearly, it's perfect for Kokushibo and Momo to live in.
