Chapter 4

Asakusa Tokyo, the city was full of people who crowded the streets even at night. Walking around in the crowd you stopped at a vendor who was selling yakitori. The smell of all sorts of foods interested you. You only grew up eating greens and vegetables, there wasn't any meat for you to have because you had to maintain a healthy diet. "Two yaki..."

There was an unfamiliar feeling you felt. It wasn't a good one. Your heart began to race as you felt the feeling get closer. This feeling was spoken of amongst the demon slayer corps.

You were in the presence of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Turning around into the crowds, you made your way closer to the feeling. The closer you got the more your heart rate increased. His presence was spoken highly of for a reason. Getting closer, you stopped looking forward. It was a man who carried a child in his arms. Was this a mistake? He was here, you could feel his presence. It was radiating from the father of the girl.

That was then his eyes made contact with you. His eyes were red and his once regular pupils now were dilated. His eyebrows furrowed at the sight of you. He seemed unpleased and disgusted. His eyes pierced into yours for a bit before looking at the attire you wore. Your heart began to increase again. Your heart beats became so loud you began to hear it in your ears. Why was his energy rising, was it because of the gift that Kokushibo gave you. Who was Kokushibo to Muzan, did they have a close relationship?

Muzan slowly took a step in your direction making you freeze but you were lucky. Something seemed to catch his attention behind him.

What was he going to do, he did take a step towards you. Your heart rate soon began to go decrease after realizing he wasn't focused on you no more. Unsure of what move to make next you stepped backwards. But in a quick second Muzan swiped his hand, cutting the back of an innocent male's neck.

"Honey... what's wrong?" What was to be his wife questioned as the man held his neck in pain. He then leaned over to his wife and then growled. Your eyes widened and you quickly ran over, you couldn't use your blade in public because that would send panic among everyone. What you needed to do was take the demon out of here. Running over, you noticed someone else also did too.

"Stop!"

Then younger woman tried to push the guy back as he tried to bite her after he succeeded the first time. She struggled to push him off her as she fell on the ground. The man was tackled by the other person while you helped the woman up.

"Dear!"

"We need to treat your wound, miss." You told her as you looked at the wound.

"Ma'am!! Don't worry about him and take care of yourself!! Use this cloth and put pressure on it!" The boy threw over a cloth which you caught and used to apply pressure on the woman. She winced as you held the cloth on her. Looking over at the boy, he struggled to keep the man on the ground.

"Muzan Kibutsuji! Wherever you go you won't get away from me! I'll follow you to the depths of hell and your neck will feel the edge of my blade! I will never forgive you!"

The boys words made you feel sort of warm, his words were sincere and you sort of felt like he would stick to it. You hope he would do what he says because you also wouldn't forgive Muzan for killing someone you knew was dear to you. Even if you could barely remember what had happened, you knew Muzan's creation had killed someone you were close to.
