Soulmates (Yoriichi x Muzan)

🔪☀️Chapter nine☀️🔪

🌺🌺🌺

Yoriichi didn't have to go out to his work as early as he did, he mostly just wanted to get away from Muzan if he's gonna be honest, not just because he made it awkward it was also because Yoriichi just needed a break. Yoriichi just got called for a hashira meeting, it ended quite quickly so Yoriichi was just doing some training in the training area. He looked at the training dummy and raised his ... he just had to slice the dummy, not that hard, it wasn't moving, it's standing still... but... that dummy is supposed to represent a demon... Muzan is a demon...

Yoriichi groaned and stabbed his katana into the ground, he sat on a log putting his face in his hands. What was wrong with him? All of a sudden he just couldn't kill demons now, when he found out Muzan was his soulmate before he still didn't care about killing demons, was he getting closer to Muzan? No, no, Muzan is a demon, he could never love a demon, he should kill himself with his katana because he's disrespecting his honor for letting Muzan live with him. Maybe if it was just a demon it would be alright... but Muzan is the king of demons, if Yoriichi killed Muzan then all demons would die and plenty of people would be saved. Yoriichi... is selfish.

Yoriichi pinched his nose and sighed, he didn't know if he could kill Muzan... he was strong enough to do it, but he couldn't bring himself to cut Muzan's head off. He... already... lost someone. Yoriichi shook his head and stood up, he walked into the middle of the field and looked up at the sky. Would he and Muzan be able to be out in the daytime one day? Yoriichi blinked and turned his head to the side, he knew he felt an ominous presence here...

"Michikatsu, you stalking me?"

Michikatsu moved out of the shadows of the trees and leaned against a tree. "I was passing by, are you okay?"

"Yes." Yoriichi turned his head to look back at the floor. "Why do you ask?"

"I was here for a couple of minutes, you look stressed."

"It's nothing, anieu."

Michikatsu stood straight and walked up to Yoriichi, they stared at each other before Michikatsu grabbed Yoriichi's wrist and looked at it. "You sure it's not about your soulmate?"

Yoriichi took his hand away from anieu a bit roughly, he didn't like that his brother was trying to invade his personal space... or maybe he was afraid of his soulmate's safety. Yoriichi took a small step back and straightened his back. "I said it's nothing, thanks for worrying Michi but I think I'm okay now."

Yoriichi walked back over to his katana and grabbed it out of the ground wiping it off with his sleeve. "You never mentioned her."

Her... "We hardly talk, I didn't ever think to bring it up."

"How's your relationship?"

"It's manageable, we're friends." Yoriichi put his katana back in its holder and started walking away. "I should be going now."

Yoriichi didn't look back, but he knew Michikatsu was standing in the same spot watching him walk away. Yoriichi felt the need to start ignoring his brother... Michikatsu was also a demon slayer and he was seriously worried for his soulmate's safety, Yoriichi was meant to protect Muzan.

Muzan was in his quarters in the infinity castle, he was putting some things in a bag to bring to Yoriichi's house to work on when he's bored. It was not efficient to teleport back and fourth to the infinity castle and back, it wasn't necessary. Muzan was putting some things in his bag when he heard a knock at his door, usually he didn't get visitors.
