"What's Kibutsuji doing here... being taken care of by Y/n-sama?" Li whispered into Zihan's ear as a futon was laid out in the living room, Muzan laying barely conscious on it.

Zihan shrugged his shoulders and said "Y/n-sama hasn't spoken to me."

Li walked up to you and said "Y/n-sama, where is Yoriichi and Michi?"

"Huh?" You said as you placed a cold wash cloth on Muzan's forehead.

It was like back when you both were humans, taking care of him.

"Where is Yoriichi and Michi?" Li asked again.

"Oh, I wouldn't know. Yoriichi left and so did Michikatsu." You said as you sat up.

"Why is Kibutsuji here?" She asked.

You looked over at Li and smiled. "Change of heart."

The siblings exchanged looks of confusion and concern.

They continued bombarding you with questions.

"God," A masculine voice was heard.

"Will you both shut up?" Muzan said.

"Muzan!" You ran towards him and got on your knees.

"You're awake!" You said.

You tucked his hair behind his ear and gazed down at him.

"How are you feeling?" You asked.

"Fine." He replied.

His red eyes fell on the siblings gawking at him.

"Who are these people?" He asked.

"Oh, this is Zihan and Li. I met them in China." You said.

Li waved at Muzan awkwardly as Zihan narrowed his eyes at the man.

"Y/n-sama, can I talk to you alone?" Zihan asked.

"Oh, sure." You said as you sat up.

"No." Muzan said.

He sat up, eyeing the younger man.

"You can say it in front of me." He said.

Zihan stared at Muzan, hatred burning in his veins.

He had no idea why after 500 years you'd just change your mind about Muzan.

"Okay, fine." He said.

He locked his orange eyes with yours.

"You have said my whole life that you would destroy Kibutsuji, and when you have a chance with Yoriichi—"

In a blink of an eye, Muzan was on his feet, holding Zihan up by his throat, dangling him as he tried to claw out of his grip.
