"W-W-WHERE AM I!?" the swordsman shouted, looking around the empty forest frantically. "Is this some demon trickery?! Did Muzan take me out of the fight?! God damn it!"
The swordsman's ears perked up as he turned towards the tree line, where a group...
In the endless consortium of rooms and balconies, the subtle sound of a Biwa being plucked echoed throughout the Infinity Castle, the domain of the demons. Muzan, the leader of the demons, lingered over a table, his eyes scanning a map of Japan.

"Have we checked all the Demon Slayers' known safehouses?" Muzan asked, his voice cold and commanding.
"Yes, Muzan-sama," Nakime responded quietly as she strummed her instrument.
"And all of the old Hashira residences? Especially the one belonging to that former Flame Hashira?"
"Yes, Muzan-sama. Wherever they are hiding her, they have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that my Blood Demon Art cannot locate her. But I shall adapt, and once I pinpoint the girl, I will teleport her here for your consumption."
Muzan sighed and nodded.
"If you weren't so useful to me, Nakime, I'd kill you where you sit. Don't fail me like the other Moons have, or I will change my opinion about you."
Nakime nodded before plucking a Biwa string again. "I understand, Muzan-sama."
"Good. Now, bring in those four demons. I have a separate task for them."
Nakime plucked her Biwa once more, and four demons appeared in front of Muzan, already on their knees with their heads bowed.
"Akuma Ito," Muzan addressed the long-haired male demon, who bore a striking resemblance to Upper Moon Two, Doma.

"Yes, my Glorious Overlord," Akuma answered, his head still bowed, his body quivering slightly in lust at being in the presence of the King of Demons.
Muzan then turned to the demon with a crescent moon on his forehead. "Kronos," he addressed one of the newest demons, created only sixty years ago.
