Undesired Love, Sweet Revenge

Chapter 8 (A Meeting with The Devil)

"Who is this master you are talking about... Douma." Izumi held her stare, placing her blade back into its sheath.

"His Lordship? He's the creator and leader of all the demons and the Twelve Demon Moons." He waved off.

"If you haven't realised, His Lordship has been eyeing on you for some time now. He's interested in you."

Izumi was shocked. A demon? Interested in me?

Izumi just stood there, mouth agape. Why the heck would a demon, let alone the leader of demons, be interested in me?

Douma took the opportunity of Izumi's state of shock as he appeared behind her,

"But His Lordship shouldn't mind if I just played with you for a bit.."

Douma grazed Izumi's neck with his sharp nails ever so slightly, just before his arm came off in a blink of an eye.

"Douma, were my instructions unclear?" A hostile, cold voice hissed. Douma knelt down before him.

Izumi turned around to see a man that looked in his early 20s.

He had plum red cat-like eyes and short black curly hair. Izumi had to look up slightly to see his facial features. Why are guys usually so damn tall?! He has to be at least 180. Izumi scoffed, definitely not pleased.

Douma was still smiling for some weird reason, thought he was kneeling.

"No Your Lordship." The man, who Douma seemed to call 'His Lordship', then looked at Izumi, who in return felt chills down her spine.

She had her hand on the handle of her blade, when the man smiled.

"I don't think you'd kill your benefactor would you?"

"Benefactor?" Izumi was confused.

The man held Izumi's chin up, smiling even wider. Izumi felt disgusted and was just about to draw her blade when he said.

"We have a similar goal that drives us to do what we hope to achieve. You want your hands on Giyuu Tomioka while I want my hands on Tanjiro Kamado."

Izumi slapped his hand off, "I don't need the help of a guy I just met. I don't even know how you're my benefactor."

Izumi scoffed. "Douma, make sure no one comes near us." The man said as Douma nodded, before getting up and vanishing.

"Not scared I'll kill you? Muzan Kibutsuji." Izumi smirked, arms akimbo.

The man just smiled, "And how do you know my name, little demon slayer?" Izumi swiftly had her blade at his throat.

"I dare you, call me that again and I'll be gone with your head."

Muzan just smiled, whispering in Izumi's ear, "I'd like to see you try, little demon slayer~"

Izumi was seriously pissed now. Of all things, being called small was the most insulting. Izumi tried to behead him, but her blade didn't budge.

Knowing she couldn't do anything, Izumi retreated far away.

"Didn't you say you'll kill me, little Izumi?" Muzan snickered.

"Why would I do that when I know I can't," Izumi sighed in defeat.

"If you want to kill me, make it quick." Muzan gave her a look of confusion.

"When did I say I was going to kill you?" Izumi rolled her eyes.

"My dear 'benefactor' will kill me to let me reunite with my family."

Muzan walked up towards her, hands in his pockets. Izumi closed her eyes, accepting her fate.

Muzan P.O.V
I knew Izumi didn't think that far. She wasn't listening carefully to me either.

When I stood in front of her, I was laughing, humans are so frail, so stupid.

I did tell her that I wanted my hands on Tanjiro Kamado while she wanted hers on Giyuu Tomioka.

I guess she didn't really consider the fact that I can turn humans into demons.

I looked at her. She still had her eyes closed. Guess she really gave up huh?

I could easily kill her but I need her to accomplish my goal. After all, she's in the Demon Slayer Corps, which makes it so much easier.

I leaned in towards her ear, whispering.

"What if I want to turn you into a demon instead of killing you?"
