Pt 1, •Meeting

Kokushibo's thoughts
Muzan's thoughts

1) KOKUSHIBO'S POV :

(For context, this part of the story is basically Kokushibo writing, this will be further explained later on.)

- The Night was still Young,
We (all the upper moons) we're called into a meeting today by Lord Muzan.
For what reason is beyond me.
It went as usual, or so.. I thought it would've gone like that.

---------- FLASHBACK ----------

- Silence filled the infinity castle as the uppermoons showed up one by one.

• As Always, Upper moon 1 was the first to arrive, though, never made his presence noticeable.
The 6"3, tall, dark haired man was seated quietly in the infinity castle, near enough to hear conversations but far enough to the point to where he isn't visible to anyone but Lord Muzan.
His whole appearance alone was terrifying.
his cold,yet serious and overall mysterious nature striking fear in the hearts of the unfortunate one's who cross his path.

• After a few moments passed , Uppermoon 5 made it.
He seemed extremely grateful and possibly happy to be called into a meeting, an intriguing sight.
The interesting and powerful uppermoon, known for his credibility as an artist, and his high kill counts as a demon.
He was no ordinary demon to say the least, an expressive and passionate one when it comes to art, but a heartless cold blooded killer with no remorse.

Then, upper moon 4 came.
He was cowering in fear and practically sobbing at the sight of the uppermoon who arrived next.
At first sight, he seems completely harmless and cowardly to anyone unbeknownst to meeting him, but he is more than capable to render anyone useless in the blink of an eye.

Uppermoon 3 quickly followed after.
His whole demeanor was calm, yet serious.
He was respectful and loyal, two of the most obvious reasons to why he among the ones of Lord Muzan's favorites.
To be quite honest, his loyalty exceeds him, along with his willpower and physical powers and abilities.
His personality to those who are superior to him though,,
Speaking of those superior, the next uppermoon followed soon after the 3rd moon's arrival.

Upper moon 2,
The blonde and if I may say,, very intolerable upper rank, known for his childish and playful nature.
Though, demons such as Douma have no real emotions, Douma is quite the actor.
Powerful and extremely loyal, but his personality alone is a reason to why he is one of Lord Muzan's least favourites.
A hand grasping forward to grip the upper 3's shoulder, his deep yet playful voice making all his intentions clear.

D : "Akaza-dono~! Look, look!! I'm not late nor early today.. Right on time~"
"How I've waited to see you again Lord Akaza~! The fact that we've been summoned made my heart sink in despair! The thought of my fellow uppermoons getting into a tragic accident,, that alone made me spiral in worry Lo-"

And that's where the fighting and arguing started, Akaza ripped Douma's throat out, Douma regenerated within a second, to which makes it obvious on why he is upper 2 to begin with.
His regeneration speed along with his strength and abilities is impressive.
But Upper 3 (and most of the upper ranked demons) don't enjoy his personality at much.
The Uppermoon Akaza though, takes it too far for my liking.

It took a few minutes for the bickering to stop, but to be completely honest, they would've never stopped arguing.

• Mid argument, all the uppermoons felt a harsh and heavy difference in the atmosphere.

N : "The master is arriving soon, I'd personally suggest that bickering among the upper ranks is the last thing he'd request at this time.
I leave it in your hands to resolve your disagreements before Lord Muzan or Lord Kokushibo do it themselves."

And before they knew it, HE spoke.

M : "Nakime is correct."

A deep and assertive, yet stern voice was immediately felt by all the uppermoons, who quickly knelt down on one knee to greet their Lord.
Every uppermoon had a different personality, which didn't mix well with some, but what they all had in common..
Was their loyalty and respect for Lord Muzan.
Blood red eyes followed their every movement and Lord Muzan closely inspected every single thought they had.
He seemed.. Weirdly calmer and less angered than usual today, but maybe that was just me.

M : "Well, it has come to my attention that blah blah blah. "

For some odd reason today, my mind blocked off everything the Master said.
I didn't listen and I wanted to pay attention, but the more I tried to listen, the more I dazed off.
My mind was playing games with me, why couldn't I just concentrate.
It's all just... Blank and empty.

The Lord Muzan is speaking about an important matter right now and I don't even have it in me to listen, what the hell is going on??

I was more confused than worried, though, my demeanor remained the same.
I was confused, but weirdly enough I felt calm?
This went on throughout the whole meeting and I didn't pay attention to a single thing, just staring off into nothingness, odd..
The thing that snapped me back into reality though, was that Biwa Woman's instrument ringing quietly in my ear.
Followed by more bickering and arguing from the other's, but for now, I had no interest in such of restoring order.
I was only filled with confusion

This is quite unpleasant.

I don't know what the Master even spoke about today.
What is going on with me??

---------- Present ----------

I had no further problems for the rest of the night though, I am in the infinity castle for tonight, tomorrow the sun will rise again and I'll come to my senses.

Signed, Kokushibo

... I don't see the appeal with writing.
This is no different than my everyday thoughts.
It was inevitable that taking advice from uppermoon 2 would likely fail though.
...
I should sleep.
