Alibi | Demon Giyuu

02

hey there! Thank you to all my 10 readers out there. I hope you're enjoying my story so far even though it's only the second chapter lol. Also this story is mostly going to be in Giyuu's and Shinobu's pov, though later in the story I might have a few other ones here and there.

Shinobu's Pov

Oyakata-sama dismissed the meeting, and everyone started making their way back to their estates. I also went to my estate, and now I'm sitting in my office (does she have one?) thinking about all the possible locations Tomioka-san could be at right now. If he's not in the forest, there's only one other place he could possibly be. The Infinity Castle. (this is after Salami and Obama discovered it) He's in the domain of the demons. But Shinazuwaga and Iguro said that the entire place vanished when they entered. I wonder why that's not the case with Tomioka-san. Shit, there's no way he can survive there for long by himself, I really want to send out a search party right now. We're preparing for war, we need all the help we can get. (That's not the only reason :)) iykyk)

Giyuu's Pov

He's actually kneeling in front of me.

"Follow me, Mizu. I'm certain you're able to break those chains easily," Muzan instructed.

Mizu? That's not my name..what is my name? I don't remember. What does he mean by I can break these easily? How?

"Having trouble? Use your Blood Demon Art,"

Right, that confirms that I'm a demon. I don't even know what my bda (blood demon art) is. Total Concentration. Water swarmed me, and somehow cut the chains holding me down. No wonder I'm called Mizu, I can control water. I stood up, only to be brought to my knees with sharp pain jabbing my eyes; it stung like hell.

Unleashing what I think is my most powerful form, a burst of water exploded, sharp droplets aiming towards Muzan. I don't think he had predicted this to happen, as my attack got him to spill blood. During this process, he had also let go of my mind and his control over me. My memories started flooding back into my mind.

Blood demon art, Fake Waves

I left my shadow behind, on his knees covering his eyes. My immortal body executed a very poorly planned escape, and I was faced with the labyrinth of wherever I was. Platforms moved in different directions, the whole place changing every second with lanterns lighting this place up. I still have no idea where I am. I tried to navigate my way through this maze, and I met a few demons on the way; each one..bowing? A biwa struck in the distance, and I was teleported to a platform along with all the other uppermoons. They're all kneeling down?

Muzan's Pov

Shit, I didn't know that water hashira would be so powerful as a demon. I mean it's kinda my fault I poured half of my strength into him, he has great potential. It seems I've let go of his mind, as I cannot locate or read his mind currently. It's been a while since he trapped me here, his control is quite commendable and deserves praise. I knew I picked the right person to replace my spot as Demon King.

Giyuu's Pov

They're all kneeling down? What rank am I exactly?

"Lift your heads, you have no reason to be kneeling." I said, quite confused

As they all lifted their heads, a look of shock and confusion appeared on their faces, like this has never happened before. I saw the lady who struck her biwa on a platform that was higher above the platform the uppermoons and I were currently situated on. I looked her way, my gaze piercing her, which resulted in her flinching. I shot her a look that meant 'bring me outside', and to my surprise, she obeyed my command without question. The biwa struck, and this time bringing me outside, back into the forest I was originally located in. The feeling of being followed never faded. 

I immediately sensed a round object laying around, which I suspect is the reason for my feeling. I'm being watched by something. In a shift moment, I cast my blood demon art upon whatever was spying on me and it disintegrated. Biwa lady. [Insert very cool name] Forest is noticeably losing its dark background, as the sun starts rising. Shit, I'm gonna burn in the sun and there's no shelter anywhere near me. Biwa lady probably won't offer help as I just attacked the thing that was spying on me. The sun was now hanging in the sky, and I started to burn a bit. Not fully. I regenerated the burn almost instantly, leaving me shocked. How am I not burning in the sun?

Now that I think about it, isn't Muzan searching for a flower called the 'Blue Spider Lily'? I remember finding a flower similar to the description the name gives when I found Tanjirou and Nezuko up in the mountains. Maybe that's the flower? I planned to give it to Kocho, but I think she misunderstood and made it into soup for me to have.

I navigated through the forest, and started making my way back to my estate. No villager I passed looked scared when I walked by, I probably look human just like Muzan does; except for the fact I can walk in the sun. I arrived at HQ, and saw everyone's faces had a hint of worry in it. I decided not to think much, and continued my way to the water estate. Uzui was the first to notice me, and no longer looked worried.

"Mr. Unflashy is back! We were worried you got killed by some demon! Glad to see you're okay buddy!" His voice boomed as he spoke.

With his announcement, it caught the attention of all the other hashira's there. They all looked shocked, but that mask was quickly replaced with a relieved one. Was I really gone for that long? Any injury sustained had already been regenerated, it doesn't look that suspicious, right?

Shinobu's Pov

There was a lot of commotion going on outside, so I decided to check it out. My eyes widened with shock and relief as I saw Tomioka-san standing outside. I'm glad he survived in the demon's territory. He looks uninjured. Something's weird. If he was in the Infinity Castle, he should have had pain inflicted on him.

But he's perfectly fine, no where on his uniform nor haori are bloodstained. What actually happened? I can rule out that he became a demon; he's clearly standing in the sun without burning. His physical form doesn't resemble a demon either, so that's that. It's impossible not to be injured while in a place completely infested with demons. On second thought, I can't rule out the possibility of him being a demon. Something is definitely wrong.

Giyuu's Pov

My eyes met with those of Kocho's and her expression is both mixed with relief and confusion. I wondered why she could possibly be confused. Suspicion, that's one of the only reasons behind her confusion. Shit, the only suspicion she could have on me is the fact that I'm a demon. I'm human looking and is able to stand in the sun, so that should give her less of a reason to suspect that. I doubt she worries about that though. My urging hunger for human flesh, and dying thirst for blood remained, considering the fact I had just been turned into a demon. I had to refrain from attacking any of the hashira's.
