บท 10: Kokushibo and Muzan
Slowly putting down the wooden box she carried behind her back, and taking out the wooden katana that was always hidden inside her large haori, Kiyomi stared at Daki, other known as Upper Moon 6.
No, it was Daki and her brother, Gyutaro.
"Oh..?" Daki stared at Kiyomi, who was holding the wooden sword, with curiosity.
"Ms. Daki... what are you doing here this late at night?" Despite knowing the answer, Kiyomi still asked.
Knowing that she couldn't beat the Upper Moon demons with her current state, Kiyomi wanted to stall as much time as possible, understanding that her resistance was futile.
Smiling seductively, Daki started walking towards Kiyomi, who was frozen in fear.
Until she was just a few inches away from her, Kiyomi still just stood there, unable to move.
"What an interesting smell you have, little girl.." Daki bent down and lifted Kiyomi's chin.
Unable to stand it any longer, Kiyom unraveled all six of her tails in an instant and thrust her tails towards Daki.
"Ara Ara! What's do we have here? A young nine-tailed kitsune! You'll make a perfect gift for that adult!"
Skillfully evading the incoming tails, Daki let out a sadistic smile.
"Heh...."
*Sphlch*
"Pfft! Ugh... umph!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Kiyomi slowly glanced downwards.
A pale and slender hand had pierced through her stomach and she was quickly losing blood.
Her body was trying to repair and close the gap in her body, but the hand stuck in her abdomen prevented the blood from clotting.
"Ah!! How wonderful! How delightful! Marechi! Marechi! Ahahahahaha!"
Daki, smelling the blood of Kiyomi, quickly turned intoxicated. Her heartbeat started quickening and her vision slightly dimmed.
Drunk on the smell of Kiyomi's blood, Daki didn't notice the struggling Kiyomi whose face was also turning white due to the lack of blood, taking up her wooden sword, and swinging down on the arm that pierced her.
*Splat*
"F*ck!" Feeling the pain from her arm, Daki quickly took back her arm and regenerated it in an instant.
Taking this chance to run, Kiyomi didn't even take the wooden box she had previously laid on the ground and dashed in the opposite direction, away from Daki.
But she underestimated the speed and strength of an Upper Moon demon, after taking seven strides, a gust of wind blew on her back.
"Ha.... you should've just been an obedient little girl. Now you've forced my hand."
*Clack*
With a strong force hitting her on the neck, specifically, the carotid artery, Kiyomi's heart rate slowed dramatically.
With the dramatic decrease in heart rate and the gaping wound on her stomach, Kiyomi's last sight before she fainted from lack of blood pressure was the sadistic smile of Upper Moon 6, Daki Warebi-hime.
... A long time later...
"Hiss.. ugh.... f*ck! Cough... cough..." Holding the already healed stomach with a painful appearance, Kiyomi's eyes quickly adjusted to the dim environment.
What came to her vision was the vast maze of buildings with no visible end to it, each with a similar design, but all stuck to a different surface as if gravity's rules don't apply.
'The Infinity Castle?! Why am I here!? Right.. Daki, where is Upper Moon 6?' Bewildered by the fact that she was brought to Muzan's central base, Kiyomi sought to leave before being caught again by the demons.
Standing up with difficulty, Kiyomi reached out to the wall to stabilize herself.
"...??? What is this doing here?" Feeling the familiar wooden box in her hand, Kiyomi cautiously opened it.
Inside was everything that she had left in there when she tried to run away from Daki. The two bags and a pouch that was given to her by Koinatsu, a few pieces of clothing, and an intact wooden sword that had some splinters on it.
Putting everything back in and strapping it on her back, Kiyomi started to wander aimlessly inside the Infinity Castle.
"Where is the exit of this creepy place anyw-"
*Zeng~!*
'Sh*t! The Biwa Demon!'
Before she could finish her words, she was teleported to a flat platform.
Feeling seven extremely strong presence around her, Kiyomi didn't dare to even breathe normally, not to mention raising her head.
With cold sweat forming on her body, Kiyomi could do nothing except listen to the conversation.
"This is the girl I wish to offer to you Muzan-sama! A young nine-tailed kitsune!"
'Offer? Me, an offering?!' Kiyomi's anger rose slightly at the title given to her.
"Oh~? A nine-tailed kitsune?"
The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer.
Seeing the shoes in front of her, Kiyomi didn't dare move a single cell of her body, afraid that she'll be dismembered within the next second.
"Hyuck! Ugack!" Being lifted up with one hand squeezing tightly on her neck, Kiyomi finally got to see Muzan's face.
A man in his late twenties with unnaturally pale skin that can be easily confused as being unhealthy and sickly, curly black hair, and sharp, almond-shaped eyes. His pupils are vertical, like cat eyes, and colored plum red.
His mouth curled up in an arc, clearly happy with the new 'toy' he just received.
Kiyomi, whose windpipes almost collapsed by the pressure that Muzan squeezed on her neck, couldn't help but pull on his arm to help relieve some of the pressure on her neck.
Her six seemingly fluffy also couldn't help but be released.
Slightly surprised at the six brown tails and amused by the struggles that she given him, Muzan released the hand on her neck.
"Leave." Turning towards the Upper Moon demons, Muzan issued a command.
"Yes, Muzan-sama." Without a second thought, the demons all disappeared except one.
"Hmm? Do you have something to report to me, Kokushibo?" Muzan's voice turned slightly dangerous.
"... No, Muzan-sama." Kneeling down on one knee respectfully, the expressionless Kokushibo replied.
"Then what are you still doing here? Do you want to disobey me?"
"No... I want to make a request Muzan-sama.."
Intrigued, for it was the first time that Kokushibo, the Upper Moon 1 made a request to him.
"Ho..? Today is such an interesting day... first, is this girl brought by Daki, and now you? Heh.. go on."
With his six eyes, Kokushibo stared at the petrified Kiyomi.
"Might I ask for the girl?"
A moment of silence prevailed between the two and Muzan's pressuring eyes stared at Kokushibo.
".. Is that so... I see... Well then, for your loyalty to me, you may have her. Do whatever you'd like." Muzan responded, turning away from Kokushibo, he disappeared as the sound of a biwa sounding once again.
Kiyomi, at the disappearance of her main concern, breathed a small sigh of relief.
Turning her attention to the attentive Upper Moon 1, who was looking at her intently, she couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as she thought of something impossible.
Her eyes widened and her breathing quickened.

Snowy_Crystals Tails, very versatile. Think of them as Kaneki's ghoul tails. But her foxtails cannot extend as far and Kaneki's ghoul tails. Also sorry for the short chapter, I didn't feel much inspired today.
