THREE WEEKS LATER - IN THE INFINITY CASTLE - (Third Pov:)

~Twang!~

"Hmm?" Kuragari hummed.

The alternate dimension.......infinity castle......

His golden eyes glance around registering the fact he's been summoned, which he was unsure what it was about. It was his first summoning without being asked, and he didn't like it one bit seen he was Upper Moon four. His spot still claimed, with Nakime beneath his rank. The endless void of thousands, no, millions of rooms that filled his vision. Many lanterns were lit around, lighting up the dark void. 

"It's you....." A gravelly voice spoke.

Kuragari's golden slitted eyes meet the demons, "Akaza.......you're here," with a scoff, before glancing around. "What's the meaning of this.....?"

Akaza rolls his eyes, "A summoning, meaning......one of our own has been slaughtered," he begrudgingly replies. "Hoping for a specific someone, but it's definitely not you......" with bitterness in his tone.

 "...'Scuse me for talking then," Kuragari rolls his eyes, with a sarcastic grumble.

Suddenly the sound of a soft thud alerts the two their attention, before noticing a beautiful porcelain vase settling in the centre of the wooden flooring. Assuming who it is obviously, Kuragari wasn't at thrilled at the least. With a gentle roll of the vase on it's own, you would think it would topple and shatter very easily.

"Well, well, if it isn't Lord Akaza and the new demon," A familiar voice, echoes through the small vase from afar. The sound of water welling up and through the round opening, two pairs of hands reaches and latched around the rim of it before a head pokes out. Slowlt the body oozes out with a face with eyes replaced by two mouths, and the mouth with the eyeballs inside and in the center of the temple. His skin so sickly grey contrasted the piercing eyes, of the fish like Demon that crawled out. 

"Tch, and who are you?"

"How lovely it is to see you in such good health," The demon spoke; with a sadistic grins completely ignoring Kuragari. "What? Has it been ninety years since I last saw your face? When I was summoned here, I thought for second you might've perished and my heart began to sin--...." before clearing his throat. "....my poor worried heart was filled with anguish with the thought of it......."

"You're even weirder than I thought," Kuragari grimaces, before the Demon smirks. 

"I'm Gyokko, two ranks below you it appears......" He sneers, venomously before grinning. "To think such a young demon, can surpass me so quickly........I would've rather you dead as well."

"How terrifying, how terrifying!" A shaky and fearful voice echoes, causing Kuragari to glance over to a demon hiding behind the wooden railings of the stairs. He slowly crawls up to still cower behind the railing, "It appears that the time we've been apart you've forgotten so much as to count, Gyokko."

The demon has a massive round lump on his head with two spikey turned up horns, with narrowed red eyes with a slouched posture that represents his cowardly persona. Though he seemed rather like a goblin like demon, Kuragari couldn't let his guard down one second around these demons. He hadn't met a few of them, only knowing Akaza, Kokushibo and Nakime. 

"I-It's been a hundred and thirteen years since we were last summoned," The demon continues, holding his fingers up. "That's an indivisible number, an uneven number.....and it's odd. Terrifying, terrifying!"

"Biwa woman!" Akaza spoke up loudly, towards the woman who was perched upon the floors above where the two stood. "Has Lord Muzan arrived yet or not?!"
