Abnormal Being [Kimetsu no Yaiba]

8

Yokina looks around, 'There's too many people here..' She thought, slumping down. She's currently in the red-light district, where she smelled some more of Muzan's blood. 'There's.. one here.. no, two?' She sniffs the air.

'Huh that crow..' Yokina eyed a certain crow which had a paper tied on it's leg flying out from one of the houses. 'It smells like one of the pillars..'

She then suddenly turned back, she smelled some blood. A loud splat sound was heard. Yokina quickly jumps toward the scene and saw a crowd crowding, yelling out, panicking.

The blue eye girl narrowed her eyes, she could smell Muzan, rather than his blood, Muzan himself. She walks slowly, cautiously, towards the source.

"--you're a special demon." Yokina's feelings has gone hayware, suddenly all of her body hurts and she couldn't think clearly anymore.

Feeling the need to run, she quickly falls back, slumping down in an alley to get herself back. 'What was that? That hurts-' She gasps, catching her breath. 'It felt like when I was still at Muzan's place-, tortured--'

"If it isn't Yokina." The said girl shivered and her body felt like stinging once again. Muzan chuckles looking at Yokina. "So did you finally decide to come back after all those rebellious phase?"

Still shivering, Yokina shook her head, backing away as Muzan takes a step closer toward her. Her facial shows fear and anger. "M-Muzan..!" Hands securing her arms, head getting dizzy.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Muzan leans in. "Don't you want my blood.. no, don't you miss your sister?" He asks, offering a hand.

Yokina hisses, "stop messing around! I don't need your blood!" She yelled out, slapping away Muzan's hand.

Muzan looks at Yokina, "Is that so. I thought you'll get over your rebellious phase if I let you play with the demon slayers for a while.." He straighten up, giving Yokina his cold look.

He then grab Yokina's neck, resulting the girl to open her mouth to breath. "Listen here, I didn't hunt you down because you're still useful." His grip tighten, gagging Yokina. "For now I'll let you think again but remember well. You're still my possession." He whisper out, putting his arm to Yokina's mouth and harshly ripped his own skin and forced Yokina to be gagged by his blood. "Pick the right choice, Yokina."

With that Muzan left.

"Argh- guh-" Yokina coughed, curling up. Her body which is already stinging had the pain massively multiplied, head pounding and couldn't think straight.

"Think of it as a juice." Yokina gulped as she looked at the glass. She then looked to the side, where her twin is, looking the same.

'It stinks..' Yokina silently thought, about to vomit just from the smell of the juice infront of her.

"What's wrong? Drink it." Muzan slams his hand into the table, startling the twins. Yokina flinchs, hand tucking into her twin's sleeve. Tears starts to form, as the scent got stronger.

Muzan's intimidating glare made the two cower in fear.

That's right. It's just like that day, when she first got forced to drink Muzan's blood. When the real hell begun.

Yokina's body was pulled to Muzan's side as he forced her mouth to open wide and poured the said juice. "Swallow." Afraid of everything, Yokina complied, tears falling down, before being thrown to the side. "Now you too." Seeing her twin, Yuutsuna drank the liquid and felt herself like burnt.

The younger twin, Yokina gagged from the blood she drank. Her body which got an impact from being thrown added the pain. She felt her whole body aching in pain as it suddenly all became hot.

"Argh, ugh- gah!" Yokina clutch into her kimono, gripping tight to her shivering body. 'It hurts, it's hot..-' tears falling down to the sides as her consciousness starts to slip. 'Help me, Yuu-nee..!'

She could hear footsteps. She couldn't identify whoever it is because Muzan's blood scent is covering all other smell. Her ears couldn't catch anything else either, because it's ringing. Her eyes are all blurry from the tears and consciousness fading.

"Yo----san!"

She weakly responded, "Yu..u....-ne...-" She passed out, energy drained out.

.

"He'll teach the two of you for now. Go." Muzan pushes the twin's back toward a tall pale-skinned man with long and spiky, black hair that he kept in a ponytail. He had three sets of eyes on his face with red sclera and yellow irises. His middle set of eyes featured the mark of Upper Moon One, and red markings resembling flames were seen on his face and neck.

He wore a purple-and-black-patterned kimono and black hakama pants tied with a white cloth. Seeing his eyes the twins yelped in pure fear and disgust. "His name is Kokushibo. I'll leave now then." Muzan quickly left the dojo.

Kokushibo observes the twins' antics. "Since Muzan-sama asked me to teach you two, I will train the two of you. I won't hold back." He announced, making the twins flinched. "Stop looking so pathetic! Stand straight! No cowering or hiding behind each other." He yelled out glaring.

"Listen here, I don't care wether you're girls or not. I will do as Muzan-sama's orders and shape you as I deem it." He told.

From that day the harsh training starts, starting from basic stands to martial arts. Rushing, the twins was forced to remember and do them well in roughly four months. Which is obviously impossible.

As those days passes, the twins broke. But Yokina, attempting to cheer her twin stayed smiling from time to time to get her sister smile too, which failed miserably.

After that four months, the two got into the stage where they know what their demon blood technique. It was Yokina's first. When she was being treated, somehow her blood technique got activated when the maid cleaned her wound. The maid came into contact with Yokina's blood and while Yokina's unconscious, she dreamt of that maid's past.

The maid just did as her duty and finished it despite feeling dizzy as the side-effect of Yokina seeing her past. Waking up, Yokina told what she saw and told Yuutsuna, which got heard by their bodyguard who told it to Muzan.

Hearing that, Muzan tries a lot of thing to know how to activate Yokina's blood technique. He asked the maid of what she did and she just told him that she was cleaning Yokina's wound when she's unconscious. From that small information, he experiments a lot of ways to get Yokina's blood technique activated.

Resulting another torturing session after the training.

Muzan then found out the conditions of Yokina's demon blood technique activation, which is she has to be unconscious and hurt. Hurt by herself or other, as long as her blood flows out and reached into someone else.

The range maximumly they've found is a year before the day Yokina used the technique to that person.

With that conditions in mind, Muzan attempts to know Yuutsuna's technique. Since they're twin, it's worth the try, right?
