Muzan's thoughts
Kokushibo's thoughts

2) Kokushibo's POV

- The next day, everything seemed better than yesterday.
At least, I thought it was going well.

Kokushibo,the upper 1 demon, spent his night at the infinity castle as planned, he was mostly training though.
As soon as he finished writing his notes, he cut them up with his fleshinto mere atom's.
The chance is high that Lord Muzan knows what I'm doing, but it doesn't concern me much. I trust Lord Muzan's judgement, and if there were a problem he would've summoned me and destroy me mentally and physically by now.
I still ponder about what happened yesterday often.
Sometimes I catch myself accidentally staring at walls while I'm sword training, I believe that it isn't much of a bother though.
For the most part, I stayed in the infinity castle from morning till Nightfall.
The moment the sun set, I immediately left the infinity castle.
For the most part to look for unfortunate slayers that happen to cross my path, but also, oddly my enough, for some fresh air.

Lord muzan knows,,
He has to know.
This is quite the strange situation, most of the other times when I zoned off, it was on command.
Now, my brain refuses to listen to whatever Lord Muzan has to say.
...
Should I be concerned about this?
No, I just need to make sure this never happens again.
If it does, I'll speak to Lord Muzan directly.
I'm sure he has a solution to this,
...
It does bother me though, I'm sure Lord Muzan only talked about the blue spider lilies, but a part of me kind of wonders if..
Never mind that, the night is still young and I still haven't crossed paths with any humans.

Unknowingly to Kokushibo, when he was a bit lost in thought, a young but cocky Kanoto
(a term for one of the demon slayer ranks)
was slowly creeping up behind him.

??? : "Finally! A worthy demon, an upper rank as well!! This'll get me upgraded to hashira level immediately."
The Kanoto whispered to himself from the bushes.
He smirked devilishly, as he got his green lined katana from his back, he thought this was an easy kill since the demon had his guard down.

Kokushibo on the other hand, sensed the human behind him as soon as he heard the light and barely noticeable rustlw coming from behind the bushes.
He studied the muscles, blood flow, and joint movements of his opponent carefully. He knew it wasn't exactly needed, since this was a low ranked demon slayer, but he never underestimated his enemies once and didn't plan on doing any time so.

Kokushibo gave his foe a few moments to run and draw his sword,  before quickly drawing his own.

1045 carbon steel, it features a eye tsuba, pink scabbard, dark green cord handle and alloy fittings. Alloy tsuba has a circular shaped with 4 slight indentations, a center with 3 eyes and several black veins and a golden border.
A very detailed, but beautiful sword to say the least.
But Kokushibo's movements were so immensely fast, that the slayer didn't even have 1 second to get a glimpse of the sword.
Cutting the slayer in 2, right in the middle of his body.
Blood splattered everywhere, first, the slayers internal organs fell out one by one and slowly, his whole body shut down.
As for Kokushibo,
surprisingly, not even a drip of blood graced his haori.
His sword on the other hand though, was a bit bloody, swiftly swaying his sword side to side gracefully, making the blood fly off his sword.
Before gently placing the intriguing katana back in its colorful pink sheath.

He looked back for a moment, the slayer was basically folded in 2 in a gore-y way.
Kokushibo thought a bit to himself about eating/absorbing the human, but ultimately decided that this human was not worth his time.
Leaving him to rot as the six eye'd man walked along, searching the forest for his next victim.

---------- A FEW HOURS LATER----------

It was an extremely boring night as usual, he in countered a few humans and ate most of them, the rest? He left them to rot.
Kokushibo strolled along, his katana and clothes clean as If he never brutally murdered the last few people in cold blood a few hours ago.
Somehow, he ended up on a mountain cliff, this place was abnormally open, the moon right in front of him.
This place was quiet and clean, just like Kokushibo.
The atmosphere was nice, wind flowing in his hair and the moonlight shining on his pale skin.
The cliff wasn't that high either, just close enough to see a nearby village down there.
It looked peaceful, maybe even relaxing down there.

...
A small and ordinary village, you can see everything from here.
The breezy feel is also enjoyable.
It's been a while since I've went on a nightly stroll like this.
.....
Would Lord Muzan approve of this?
I wonder.
I highly doubt that visiting this place would be of intrest to Lord Muzan but..
Wait, why am I thinking about Lord Muzan like this??
It's a waste of time anyways.
Lord Muzan, I wonder what you're doing right now.

And before the long haired demon knew it, he felt the air shift.
The mood changed completely, the air also smelt.. Different.
This was it, He was summoned to the infinity castle.
But,, why?
Yesterday was the last meeting, and it isn't common to get called into a meeting everyday.
The meetings are usually 1 decade apart, just to check on the status of the blue spider lily.
But to get called in twice, in the same decade? That was basically the same as winning the lottery.
Kokushibo liked this new spot, and something told him to stay.
But he trusted his head more than his heart, so he immediately went to the infinity castle once more.
Disappearing into thin air, almost as if he were never there.
But before he left, he made a mental note in his mind to where this place could be found.
