The first time Kibutsuji Muzan saw Tsugikuni Yoriichi, he thought he was week. Painfully so. He almost pitied him. Almost.
There was nothing noticeable about him.
Yoriichi was of slender figure. Sure he had muscles. But he had thin waist. He looked more like an omega instead of beta.
There was nothing to his presence as well. He was like a plant. No smell, no thoughts, no rapid heartbeat, no will...
Just nothing.
Muzan thought something might appear once he will draw his sword. But nothing happened. His sword was obsidian black. While Muzan never saw a sword like that (and he saw many of them, mostly pointed at him...), he didn't think much of it.
What caught his attention first was, that this weak - looking beta human was able to avoid his long range attack. The bamboo behind Yoriichi ( a considerable distance mind you!) splitted and fell to the ground. What was even more surprising was that this Yoriichi was able to keep up with his inhuman speed.
No one was able to do that until now. But both of them knew Muzan needed only one scratch to kill Yoriichi. So Yoriichi made his best to avoid all of his attacks.
But the only thing that truly shocked Muzan was, when his obsidian black katana turned burning red, erupted in flames and sliced his neck.
And something he still can't comprehend to this moment is, why his wounds refused to heal.
Why the scars that his bloody sword left on his body burned his skin to this day, like he was standing directly under the sun.
"What is the value of a life to you?"
Muzan heard him ask... Why?! He forgot such a thing long ago!
Muzan was pissed.
He was furious.
He should have been invincible!
But here stood man in front of him, who just nearly killed him and asked him such stupid questions...
The only thing he could do was to split his body and run.
Even so, that man - monster manager to destroy more than 1500 scattered pieces of his flesh.
It took Muzan 10 year to completely regenerate his body. But no matter how hard or how long he tried, the scars won't just disappear. And with them, the pain lingered as well...
"The real monster in this world is you, Tsugikuni Yoriichi. Not me."
But in that one moment, when Yoriichi wasn't cautious enough, Muzan smelled something interesting...
So he asked Kokushibo about it.
"What was the second gender of your brother?"
Because of the mark, Yoriichi should be dead by now... Hopefully.
"He was a beta."
"Hmmm..."
"Why do you ask, my lord?"
"Nothing you should concern yourself with."
And their conversation ended there. But Muzan was sure about what he smelled.... Tsugikuni Yoriichi wasn't a beta.
He was an omega.
But did a freakishly good job at hiding his scent if even his own brother hadn't realized it...
Well... He is dead now so it doesn't matter. It's a pity though... Tsugikuni Yoriichi was breathtaking after all.
