Viola Spirit Flame

Requests: OPEN I’m a fan of CRK, MHA, and Demon Slayer. I also am interested in the paranormal and I am a believer in ghosts (BOOGARA FOR LIFE) but I am a skeptic when it comes to demons; however, I do not want to try to prove that demons are real because I do not want to mess around with demons. I am a Cancer ♋️ and a female. I. Plus I might do head cannons on my ocs. Wattpad account is Spitfire479 and it’s where the description of my ocs are mostly.

[spitfire759]

Hey everyone! I’m happy to announce that I am officially going to start posting stories and oneshots on here so I hope that you will enjoy the future posts so. Leave a request on my question box to request what you would like me to write. Also know that I wont be able to do smut but I’ll be able to do angst (if I can get through writing the post without crying because I tend to get emotional), yandere (this has been on my mind to try out), crossover oneshots/headcannons (by that I mean the reader having the personality of a character from another franchise), some characters x my KNY/MHA crossover ocs (btw for the mha part it’s because some of the ocs are some of the MHA characters’ grandparents/great grandparents), and other characters from fandoms x some of my other ocs (I have a long list of ocs no joke). So go ahead and post what you would like me to write.

Plus I will post a master list soon but to let you know that I can do CRK, MHA, KNY, Record of Ragnarok, and Cult of the Lamb. Stay tune. Remember! Stay Cool! Bring your imaginations to life! Peace ✌🏻

“So you have a little brother as well…?”

“Yes, I do, and I’m happy that you agreed to meeting him, Tsukikage.”

*Reiko said as she is leading a man to the spider house. The person with her is a half Yōkai half demon. Unknowingly to Rui and the other members of the spider family, Tsukikage is one of twin sons that Kokushibo had with a female Yōkai.*

*Tsukikage is a light skinned man with his eyes being crimson red and rather triangular, with two small black triangles just below his tear ducts and in the top corners of his eyes, making them resemble those of a bird. He has long raven black hair with red tips that he has in a high ponytail. He has a flame marking on the top left corner of his forehead stretching down his temple stopping below the eye. He also has one on the bottom right corner of his chin down his neck. He wears a dark purple variation of the demon slayer uniform with black boots. He wears ear cuffs with a pair of hanafuda earrings attached but they’re purple with a yellow crescent moon on them. He also wears small choker with a crow shaped charm.*

“Rui! I’m home! And I brought a friend!”

*Reiko shouts.*

(if you don’t remember.)

*Reiko has two pairs of arms and wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her legs bear resemblance to a spider as she has two digit claw toes that look similar to that of a spider. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept bang covering her right eye. Engravings are on her right eye reading “Lower Rank Onryō Two”.*

*It really has been quite a while hasn't it? The last time you were here, your little brother was here all by himself save for his cat and a small band of raccoons; But now He had re-collected his adoptive family, acquired two more cats as well as an mouse and a frog and the small band of raccoons has grown rather large. The raccoons are scurrying about the outside of the cabin your brother had come to call home, most of them playing amongst themselves, The trio of cats as well as his two smaller pets were lounging on the cabin's porch and the sound of laughter could be heard coming from inside the cabin while it's windows were lit with brightly glowing candles* "Tag your it, no tag-backs!" *Exclaimed a familiar voice from inside, before the voices owner answered the door* "Eh? Reiko!" *Rui quickly pulls you into a hug and behind him you can see multiple other demon's peaking at the door from various rooms behind him*

[spitfire759]

*Reiko laughs.*

“Hey, Rui! It’s been a while hasn’t it, baby brother?”

*Tsukikage raised his brows. The demons behind Rui looked at Tsukikage before shaking since Tsukikage’s appearance reminded them of Kokushibo and…..that man…Yoriichi…*

“You must be Rui…Reiko’s little brother…”

*Tsukikage spoke in a calm yet solemn tone while looking down as he is 6”3’ feet.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*After a minute Rui's adoptive parents and eldest adoptive brother subtly pulled the rest of his siblings back into the living room so they could sneak upstairs unlike Rui who was mostly unfazed by his sister's friend's appearance.* "It really has, where'd you disappear to for so long huh?" *He says half-scoldingly but mostly teasing his older sister. He looks up at Tsukikage curiously from where he is at about two feet shorter than him* "I am...who are you?" *He chirps, noticing the similarity between the man infront of him and Upper One but he did not want to mention it just yet, just incase*

[spitfire759]

“I’ve been busy. Mostly because of you know who…that bastard Seiichi”

*Reiko said in annoyance before looking at Tsukikage and then at Rui.*

“Rui, meet Tsukikage.”

*Tsukikage just nods before speaking.*

“…Hello…And yes…Kokushibo is my father…”

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"He's still pestering you? I thought he got grounded?" *He inquires, remembering that particularly long night. He supposed it made sense, Kokushibo had mentioned that he was an actual father once or twice a long while ago back when he was still in-charge of keeping an eye on the younger moons like himself and Ubume, the lower one before Enmu; offered her "help" with keeping an eye on them.* "I see...He mentioned being a parent but never any names, It is nice to meet you" *he holds out his hand, offering to shake*

[spitfire759]

“More like he finds ways to make himself more useful and take on the yakuza boss vibe…”

*Reiko muttered.*

“Never figured out how he managed to do that!”

*Tsukikage was silent before crouching to shake Rui’s hand. Tsukikage spoke.*

“I say the same to you as well….And my father has kept my younger twin brother, my mother, and I a secret as he does not want my home to be compromised as there is a possibility of Muzan coming after my brother and I…”

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Huh...That's silly. Look's like you will have to tattle on him to his mother again" *He remembered that worked pretty well last time. He shook Tsukikage's hand as best he could* "I see, well im glad he's doing a good job of that...admittedly I thought for the longest time that he was only referring to Tokito-kun's ancestor" *He wasn't sure if he had brought it up the last time he had seen his elder sister but he had decided to make friends with the Mist Hashira as they were close in age and personality*

[spitfire759]

*Reiko nods before Tsukikage raises his brow.*

“Who is this Tokito?”

*Reiko gestures Rui to not tell him as she is unsure how Tsukikage will handle the news.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"A friend of mine" *He says simply, quickly picking up on the fact that his older sister didn't want him telling her friend about his*

[spitfire759]

*Reiko sighs in relief.*

“Tell me more about him….”

*Tsukikage asked him. Reiko sweats more as she thinks Tsukikage might storm to find Kokushibo and kick his arse but Tsukikage wasn’t like that.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Luckily He had learned how to be subtle and give only just enough of an answer to answer their question but not enough to give to much information.* "Hes only a couple years older than me, he's very kind but he tends to hide it...he spaces out a lot but he's pretty smart." *He says, all of this was true but not exactly the information he was looking for*

[spitfire759]

“….You’re hiding something….”

*Reiko freezes before sighing and gestures Rui to tell Tsukikage the truth about Muichiro.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui gives him that sweet, adorable, innocent face* "What do you mean? You asked about my friend and i told you about him" *That was technically true, Tsukikage hadn't asked for anything specific* "I mean besides that he's your nephew who knows how many times removed"

[spitfire759]

“…He’s what…?”

*Tsukikage was silent before he sighs.*

“…He never told me….”

*Reiko pats Tsukikage’s back. Tsukikage calms down before speaking.*

“I’d like to meet him.”

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Or I guess, Half-Nephew? I'm not really sure how that works...though I don't know if Kokushibo-san actually knows about him, i can tell that they are biologically related from scent..." *He hums softly trying to think of how this would work* "I dunno when I'll see him next, he's been pretty busy lately..."

[spitfire759]

“Makes sense…Mind if you introduce me to your…family?”

*Tsukikage asked as Reiko is trying to calm the family down.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? I don't mind, just a heads up though they are a bit ehhh skittish" *He leads the way upstairs, knocking on the entrance to the upper floor. His younger siblings were huddled up to their father, while his mother was resting her hands on her other older sisters while his older brothers stood infront of them* "Guys, Reiko's friend wants to say hello, don't worry he's nice" *it would seem that you definitely have your fathers natural intimidation*

[spitfire759]

*Tsukikage nods and softly smiles to the little ones.*

“It is alright.”

*Reiko walks over to them.*

“It’s okay. He won’t hurt you.”

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*His two little siblings, a little boy and a little girl about seven years old watched you cautiously, the little girl more-so than the little boy. While his sister that is about the same age as him who was between them was giving a similar expression as to Rui when he wasn't certain about someone or something. His adoptive father speaks up, his voice deep and gravely* "Sorry about them, they don't really trust strangers especially Hana" *He explains gesturing to the little girl.* "she got kidnapped by slayers a while ago and now she and Izumi refuse to leave each-others side..." *Rui explains before going over to his little sister* "Hana, Izumi Its okay he won't bite-" *Then the shorter, more wirey if the older brothers speaks up* "doesn't help that you look like your pops who's pretty intimidating by demon standards" *He remarks rather bluntly, Rui sighs and sarcastically replies* "helpful as ever Masami"

[spitfire759]

*Tsukikage raised his brow.*

“I may look like him…but I am not him….”

*Reiko is seen brushing one of the female family members’’ hair.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Masami shrugged, It didn't seem to really matter much to him as he used the claw of one of the four spider-legs that came out of his shoulders to clean under his claws. Rui's adoptive older sister Oni was definitely the more cautious one of his other two older sisters so it was Rini who was allowing her hair to be brushed and being more cordial* "You do seem a lot more social than he is, the few times he has visited he has been rather reserved." *Rini explained though it was clear that she was not meaning it to be an insult. Then the eldest brother stepped forward to show his other younger siblings it was okay and offered his technical claw to shake and jokingly teases his little brother* "Rui you forgot introductions again, I'm Kaito by the way" "darn it, I knew i was forgetting something..."

[spitfire759]

*Tsukikage was silent for a moment before speaking.*

“Tsukikage…That is my name…”

*Reiko speaks up.*

“Tsukikage is usually not social but he does listen and willing to answer.”

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

A spider family xmas

*Rui decides to wake all of you up fairly early in the evening, far too excited to wait another minute. He had been waiting all month for this holiday and he hoped he had gotten it right. Presents around the tree? Check, snacks that are safe for both humans and demons are ready? Check, smaller presents in those weirdly oversized sock things? Check, nothing was on fire that wasn't supposed to be? Double check, he was fairly certain everything was as it should be. He even decided to be nice and include a present for Oni since she had been living with all of you for nearly a year and was more or less like that awkward cousin that just kinda stuck around. He had sent out an invitation to his best friend and honorary adoptive sibling Tsuki, He had also sent out invitations to his older sibling's and mother's respective partner's but he wasn't sure as to who would be joining and who wouldn't. He just hoped that any and all guests would behaves themselves while they visit.*

@rui-ayaki-lower5

Reiko: [yawns] Mornin….

[spitfire759]

(This is just to continue off where we left off since it’s loading so slow. Plus I tried to figure out when hand held phones were invented and apparently they don’t exist in the Taisho period!)

Kurai sighs as she nods.

Meanwhile

Reiko and Rui woke up revealing that they were just dreaming and never met Taīyo nor Yukio.

Reiko: *yawns* What a weird dream.

@wildfire317s-oc-box

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*You find Rui beside you rubbing the sleep from his eyes* "....huh....where'd they go??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It looked like they never existed….

(By the way. I’m gonna make it up that garakei, which are Japanese hand held flip phones, existed in the Taisho period)

Rui hears some ringing noises.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Or maybe time traveling shenanigans?)

"What is that?" *he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Maybe but the thing is that the phone is Reiko’s that was given to her by Seiichi in case he wants to call her to start her shift)

Reiko: *takes out a garakei that she had tucked in her obi belt and looks to see Seiichi calling and mumbles* F#%k….not him…. *answers and placed it against her ear* Seiichi…what do you want?…I told you…the deal’s off…you broke our deal when I earned enough money to pay for the medicine for Rui’s illness a very long time ago….

Meanwhile on Seiichi’s end

Seiichi is seen with a cig and is smoking.

Seiichi: Relax, baby~ I heard you were roughhousing at Kasai’s bar…..you were killing the slayers who were intruding and didn’t save any to have their blood drained or be turned into meat…if you keep making those kinds of noises…I’m bound to find out….I’ll let you off the hook if you do one little thing for me~

With Reiko

Reiko gets suspicious of him.

Seiichi: I’m feeling all needy on my lonesome….my office…lower levels of the hideout….don’t keep me waiting….wear something…………black.

Reiko hangs up and sighs as she puts back the phone in her obi belt.

Reiko: That bastard….

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

Meanwhile

*Tsuki takes Kurai's hand* "i don't mind listening"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: You see….

The scene switched to Reiko who is dressed in her usual clothes but they’re black with red web patterns. She is seen walking to Seiichi’s office as Kurai spoke.

Kurai: I did everything to make sure that my family doesn’t get torn apart like how my father tore apart his that he created with my mother….it went well…..but….my son Seiichi…..on the other hand…..he started to become like my father but….seeks pleasure…..in the most agonizing and twisted ways that will make you see him as a monster

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"I see...im guessing you are worried about him along with everything else that has been happening lately?" *Tsuki guesses* "It's understandable...you have received a lot of difficult news recently..."

Meanwhile:

*Usagi who had been on her way out runs into Reiko she seems surprised about the change of outfit* "Ah Reiko There You Are, I Was Wondering Where You Two Disappeared To, What are You Wearing?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I had a call from Seiichi….he said for me to see him but wear something black….don’t worry…. *reveals a reel of metal threads tucke in her obi sash* Its made of nichirin…I stole it from the Steel Yōkai Hashira….I’m able to weave my own threads to make them have the nichirin steel be an alloy infused in my threads.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"I Feel I Should Ask, Does His Mother Know He's Doing This To You?" *she asks remembering her own interaction with her great nephew earlier*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know….he’s the only Yōkai Demon who broke his connections with her. He is the one who turned me and Emi into a yōkai demon….he also severed Lady Kurai’s connection with anyone who may know about the abuse….he doesn’t want her to shut down his business….

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"I See...Though I Will Admit I Worry That Not Telling Her About It First May Cause Her To React Negatively....But If You Must I Will Not Stop You" *usagi gently pats you on the head and offers you her hand so you may follow her, it seems that her business here wasn't quite finished*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Lady Usagi….thank you….for taking care of Rui when I wasn’t present….also…I tried to tell Lady Kurai….but Seiichi….. used his clones to make me and Emi keep our mouths shut….

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"How So? I Would Like To Continue Helping You If I May, And Besides I Worry What Else He May Pull If He Is Left Unchecked. He Already Tried Something With Me Before He Realized Who I Was..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You mean Lust? That’s just how Lust is…Seiichi’s clones have a mind of their own. If Seiichi made it stronger by commuting that sin….

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Exactly....And Besides Your My Child Now As Well, I Adopted Your Brother It Would Be Unfair To Both Of You If I Didn't Adopt You As Well And A Mother Is Supposed To Protect Her Kids"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *bangs fell covering her eyes as she tears up and immediately hugs Usagi* …Lady Usagi…. *sobs as she ccidentally said* Okaasan…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Usagi hugs her back, little does anyone know that she is what the saying "mama bear" is based on* "There There, I Can Help You Tell Her, Or Tell Her For You If You Like...He Can't Do Anything To You While Im Around"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Thanks….mom…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Your welcome darling" *she gently leads Reiko back to where she last saw her niece, this needed to be talked about and addressed*

Meanwhile:

"By the way...my mother is worried for you too, but she doesn't really know how to say it"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I know…it’s just that I am still angry at my father for his actions…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"I dont blame you, I'm still mad at my birth parents for what they did...unlike me you can still help do something about it so it doesn't happen to anyone else"

[spitfire759]

Usagi finds Kurai’s room.

Kurai: *sensed Usagi’s presence* You’re allowed to enter…..

Meanwhile

Reiko enters Seiichi’s office as she prepares to defend herself if needed to.

Seiichi: *smoking a cig* Ah…you came… *turns around around with his chair* …Hello, Reiko~…

Reiko: What the f#ck do you want, Seiichi?

Seiichi: *gets up from his chair* Oh nothing~ *walks over to her* Just wanna see how my favorite doll is doing~ *sees Reiko backing away and up against a wall* Yah know, babe~ *immediately does a kabe-don (action of slapping a wall fiercely creating a ‘don’ sound* You had been very disobedient to me lately~ *grabs Reiko by the chin* ….and do you know what happens if you’re disobedient~? *whispers in her ear* I will put you in your place by showing you who is the boss of you…..and who owns you…..

Suddenly they hear a loud bang and looks to see Rui who is standing at the door as he knew that something was going to happen badly to Reiko.

Seiichi: Well. Well. Well….so you’re the brat that Reiko has been wanting to go back to~

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Usagi steps into to Kurai's office shortly followed by a small rabbit demon and a doll-sized doll demon who pull Emi in behind them before quickly scampering over to tsuki* "Kurai, There Is Something Concerning That You Need To Be Made Aware Of, It's About Seiichi. It Seems He Has Been Forcing Two Of Your Sun's To... Children Can You Cover Your Ears Please?" *Tsuki and her younger cousins covers their ears* "Thank You, Anyway It Seems He Has Been Abusing Emi And My Newly Adopted Daughter Reiko In Multiple Ways Including Sexually and Forcing Them To Keep Quiet About It To You With Threats, He Also Seems To Have Broken Off The Connection Between You And Him So You Would Not Find Out."

Meanwhile:

*Rui seems to have brought back up as well. Since Reiko is part of the family now he brought their aunt, older cousins and older siblings. Their younger cousins came with but he asked them to take emi to lady kurai to provide evidence. He is glad he sent a spider with Reiko when she left. A furious looking Yukio speaks first, snarling slightly while stepping in-front of Rui. As the eldest sibling he hated anyone who picked on his little siblings in the slightest* "And what right do you have to pick on my little siblings ya jackass" *Kuroko forces herself between Reiko and Seiichi protectively*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smirked, he was glad he snuck one of his spiders onto Reiko's kimono before she left. He had a feeling something was up and he was right. He was also goad he had decided to bring the rest of the family with, obviously he wouldn't stand a chance on his own but with all of his siblings, his aunt and his older cousins he felt pretty confident. Not to mention he had some tricks up his sleeve incase of an emergency*

[spitfire759]

(Btw I changed Emi’s last name to Yumekui)

Kurai: *eyes widened* I should’ve noticed….the way Reiko acted whenever I glance at her during the meetings…she would flinch even when I ask if something was wrong….I also should’ve noticed that something was going on when I saw her scar…

Seiichi: *chuckles* What? Whats wrong with having a little fun? A man has their own needs.

Kasai: You’re a man who use others for your own pleasure….especially my Reiko….

Seiichi: Your Reiko? *chuckles* Just so you know….I haven’t even done IT to her…and besides…I own her… *snaps his fingers summoning his clones* once she started working for me…she already sealed a contract to work for me…

Reiko: BECAUSE YOU TRICKED ME SAYING THAT YOU HAD THE CURE FOR RUI’S ILLNESS, YOU JACK-!

Emi creates some earplugs and cover the children’s ears.

Reiko: JACKASS C#%KSUCKING LYING B#%CH!

Lust: So harsh, Reirei~ Darling~

Suddenly the entire wall including the door were demolished as some tendrils, which reveal to be hair, and long whip like tendrils with the ends having a blade. The tendrils trapped Seichi’s clones. A dust cloud was formed after the wall was demolished and as it faded away, they see an angry Kurai. Her eyes are glowing plum red as her feet and legs looked to be resembling the hind legs of a fox. She has sharp claws which the nails are red. She has kitsune marking on her face as her hair is out of the ponytail. She is hovering over the ground as she reveal herself to be on her final form.

Kurai: SEIICHI AKUI KIZAKI!

Emi snorts when she heard Seiichi’s middle name.

Emi: That middle name suits him actually since it means sinful intention….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries not to giggle*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Usagi stands behind her niece as her daughter and her other two nieces scurry over their respective siblings and cousins as they all circle around Rui and Reiko protectively. Yukio grumbles something about seiichi being lucky his mother showing up otherwise he would have "fixed" his "problem" permanently (neutered him)* "You Are In A Lot Of Trouble Young Man." *Usagi says as she goes to Reiko and hugs her, deciding to let her niece handle her son as she sees fit and wonders what kurai will do*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: You will be stripped from your title and *cuts off Seiichi’s arms* you will not be allowed to use your yokai demon art again….AND….let’s have your ‘problem’ be fixed…. *looks at Yukio as she clearly heard him say something like that* You have permission.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Yukio smirks mischievously and transforms his arm into a swords blade* "Gladly" *he steps away from the others and with a quick swing of his arm/blade he slashes seiichi's "problem" off*

[spitfire759]

Seiichi dodged Yukio’s attack but gets cut in half by the waist.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Yukio quirked his eyebrows curiously before rolling his eyes and allowing the third one on his forehead to open and stare seiichi right in the eyes. He feels a strong chill run down his spine as a strange fear sweeps over him*

[spitfire759]

Seiichi: {No….NO! ….I had worked hard to reach this far!!!!…..Tch…I will not allow this to happen to me!!!!…..Seiichi….come on! Break free….Marise!}

Kurai: Wait a minute….I forgot to inform Marise that Seiichi is stripped from his Upper Sun title!

Marise played his shamisen teleporting Seiichi outside in a random cave. Seiichi was able to regenerate his arms and then rips out his own eyes. He regenerates them but they are the same but are crossed out. As night came, Seiichi regenerated his legs and spread his wings out and tail feathers. He flew in the sky flying to somewhere random and then landed but runs into Muzan

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Well that its going to be a problem..." "I cant teleport after him, Takara can you do anything?" "Ummm....theres something i can try, but i need a picture of him" *Takara starts focusing her demon art as gold sparks start swirling in the air as Tsuki remembers what shes doing* "Oh right you can use your wish powers to bring someone to you!"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: That won’t work because every time Ayano, who will be the new Upper Sun Four, tries to paint a family portrait of me, Kairo, and my children…Seiichi always backs out.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"It doesn't have to be painted or anything it can even be a drawing or something....oh wait duh, hehe silly me" *she bonks herself on the head and a picture of seiichi appears out of the gold sparks, its not one that anyone remembers taking but it is just a basic portrait style photograph* "this should work..." *she focuses her demon art again and the gold sparks swirl in the air faster as her eyes focus on the photo, and within minutes seiichi finds himself shooting through the swirl of gold sparks and into the wall. After which Takara has to sit down and she staggers to the floor where she leans against mine's legs as the sparks dissipate* "good job takara"

[spitfire759]

Seiichi: Dammit! Just as I met my grandfather…I GET SENT BACK HERE!

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Usagi facepalms and grumbles* "Oh Great, Thats Fucking Wonderful...." "Believe me that is probably for the best since...Rui didn't you mention that it felt like hes been in kind of a bad mood and sort of stabbish lately?" *Tsuki asks Rui*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Yeah, pretty often lately actually but this is the longest I've sensed him in a bad mood..." *Rui confirmed though he will admit he is a bit curious as to why muzan was in such a bad mood*

[spitfire759]

Seiichi: It was because I heard that Lower Moon One was killed…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Yeah that would do it, much as enmu annoyed him...." *he had a pretty good idea as to what had been going on with muzan and enmu for the last 17 years especially after suzuran was born*

[spitfire759]

Seiichi: Ah…I’ll sorta miss Enmu…he was one of my best customers.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Seiichi see's the veins along Rui's face start to bulge a bit* "I beg your pardon?" *he asked with a light snarl in his voice*

[spitfire759]

Seiichi: Enmu would pay me to let him spend some quality time with Emi….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see." *in this instance enmu is probably lucky that he hadn't made it and that the lower moons part of the twelve kizuki had been disbanded because if that were not the case, Rui would have risen in rank very quickly*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Now what?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "well now that he's grounded someone should probably go tell...what was her name...marise that he's been grounded so he doesn't try to disappear again....otherwise I don't know..."

[spitfire759]

Next day

Reiko came into Rui’s room with confetti in her hair. As she held a painted real egg but the yolk is not in the egg shell as it was replaced with confetti. She sees Rui asleep.

Reiko: HAPPY EASTER! *crushed the egg with her hand and sprinkles the confetti and the broken egg shell on Rui’s head.

(That’s my Easter tradition. It’s so much fun due to what you do after finding the eggs)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Lol truuuue)

*Rui wakes up and rubs the sleep out of his eyes looking confuses* "hmmmmmm...hm?" *he finds some of the confetti on his face* "aw cmon Reiko no fair" *he stands and playfully chases her around*

[spitfire759]

Reiko performed some acrobatics as she was running from Rui.

Reiko: Rui! You should hurry~ and try to look for some eggs~! Marise and Ari has the confetti filled eggs hidden around so you better find them before they are all found!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright alright" *he skids to a stop nearly falling over but he manages to catch himself before grabbing Reiko's hand and scampering off, pulling her behind him, its nice to see him so excited, he was always pretty good at finding things despite his poor eyesight* "c'mon lets go"

[spitfire759]

Reiko then picks up Rui and held him close after she made a third pair of arms appear and hold Rui close. Reiko then uses her main pair to create threads and swings around in the air.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui snuggles close and watches as everything whooshes past and occasionally slings out a thread to reel back an egg he found* "this is fun, reiko look how many ive found already" *he shows you the collection of six eggs that hes found quite proudly*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Six eggs! Great job!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thank you" *he smile up at her before spying one of the others coming in for a sneak-egging* "in coming"

[spitfire759]

Reiko uses her legs to secure Rui as she uses one of the confetti eggs and then swings upside down to smack the egg onto Yukio

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui holds on tight and watches*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*You manage to get Yukio right on the top of his head and he tosses the one he had in hand at you but ends up missing and accidentally throwing it between Mine's horns and hitting Nijiko right in the gut* "Nice shot" "oops" "woah!" *nijiko crash lands into one of the forest area's leaf piles*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: AHAHAHA! You missed!

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*this prompts nijiko to start chasing yukio around in the air. Down below you spot asaki and kiki chasing eachother and you see tsuki, kimi and rin sneaking up on mine* "AHHHH!" "HAHAHA" "catch me if you can!" "Im gonna getcha!!"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this causes Rui to laugh hard*

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a confetti egg was smashed onto Reiko’s forehead. The one who smashed it was Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks in surprise before tossing one at Emi with a mischievous giggle*

[spitfire759]

Next night

Reiko is currently fighting a Yōkai Demon who looked to be a sort of doppelgänger of her but is black instead of white. The colors looked as if to bear resemblance to a black widow spider. The yokai demon has a pixie bob cut and wears a sort of business suit. She has six red with yellow sclera eyes with four of them being small and across her forehead. Rui and Usagi were looking for Reiko as she was absent during breakfast.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quietly lands on the branch of a nearby tree and is about to call out for her before spotting her. He sneakily climbs down the tree and watches from the bushes waiting to see if his sister needs assistance* "....?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko gets pinned against a tree as the ‘doppelgänger’ has a thread against Reiko’s neck as well as revealing to have three pairs of arms.

???: Ya know, Reiko. I have despised you for a very long time.

Reiko: Tch….coming from someone who is a real piece of shit! Besides, no one likes you because they look at you as a b#%ch who looks like a femboy. I don’t have anything against femboys…I’m just saying that you look like one. Even your name is a male name…hehe…Kumo.

Kumo: Shut up! You’re nothing but a f#%king sl%t. I’ll show you who is the better performer and take your spot as the Upper Sun Six….

Suddenly Kumo ties Reiko up in her threads and makes the threads tighter.

Reiko: AGH! You b#%ch! I don’t even know what that worm Mihiro sees in you.

Kumo: Grrrrr! Harsh words coming from someone who looks nothing like a Spider Yōkai Demon.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui acts fast using his own threads to string up the doppelgänger high in the air and extremely tight before stepping out of the bushes and revealing himself and he looks absolutely furious as his threads go from their normal white to a bright bloody red* "What lowlife dares to disturb my family...?" *he asks with a slight snarl as he sends some of his spiders to get their adoptive mother and the rest of their siblings*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at Rui* Rui! She challenged me to a Yokai Blood Battle. She wanted to replace me for the position of Lower Sun One and then go after Emi for the position of Upper Sun Six!

Kumo: WELL YOU GOT THAT POSITION BY BEING A F#%KING SL#%T!!!

Reiko: I DID NOT! YOU’RE THE SL#%T! YOU CHEATED BECAUSE YOU SEDUCE MIHIRO TO WEAKEN THEM!

Kumo: B#%ch! You did nothing to gain that position!

Reiko: OH SHUT UP, KUMO! YOU JUST WANTED TO GET F#%KED BY SEIICHI AND ALWAYS HATED HOW HE WOULD ATTEMPT TO SEDUCE ME! YOU THINK I LIKED HOW HE TREATED ME?! ABSOLUTELY NOT!

[spitfire759]

Lexi (my persona oc) and all of my other ocs except one are running around gathering food, drinks, games, and sleeping stuff. Viola finished putting up a powerful virtual firewall.

Viola: HURRY! HURRY! TO THE BUNKER!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Is big Koku my dad but he's just not telling me..?

@tsugikuni-kokukatsu

That is actually a good question, unfortunately I don't have an answer for you...Besides Daki, Gyutaro, Nakime and Kaigaku I don't really talk to the upper moons much...

[koku-shibou]

I ... should probably ... be ... your older brother

[chibi-koku]

What's wrong with being a dad? :o

[koku-shibou]

It is ... strange ... to be ... a dad ... to the ... smaller version ... of myself ...

What ... is wrong ... with being ... a brother ...?

Nothing, I just like the title 'dad' more.

[koku-shibou]

Hm ... all right ... I will ... be ... your dad ...

[chibi-koku]

I have a dad now!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Congratulations mini-kokushibo...

[spitfire759]

You hear some shuffling as an open box flipped upside down is moving across the floor looking as if dragged. Two voices are coming from the box.

???: Tsukikage! How long do we have to be in this box for? I wanna meet our father, Michikatsu! It was it Kokushibo?

Tsukikage: Patience, Hikaru! We cannot rush!

[rronovee]

Me: *breathing heavily as I am trying my best not to immediately have a nosebleed as I mutter* …Hotaru Haganezuka’s name maybe cute well in the words of the Swordsmith Village Chief….but his face though….it’s so f#%king hot…that I just wanna…. *gets a huge nosebleed and faints*

"Can someone clean up on aisle four?!"

[spitfire759]

Viola (my main oc): *blushed but shook her head as she drags me away* I’ll handle it…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Not me just noticing i colored the wrong way)

"Oooookaaay" *he looks very confused*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah….it’s compli-

Suddenly Yukio knocks down Taīyo as he brings out what looks to be two war fans but they seems to resemble the tail of a peacock. Yukio revealed that he knocked down Taīyo on purple because Douma was about to attack Taīyo.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui now looks even more confused, they were still in lady usagi's mountain and he was the only moon who had any idea it was even here, let alone that anyone from the future or otherwise was even here* "what are you on about??? Douma doesn't even know where this place is"

[spitfire759]

Yukio was able to cut off ‘Douma’s’ head off. ‘Douma’ suddenly turned into a puff of pinkish smoke.

Emi: *sleeping on a cloud as the mouths on the palms of her hands are opened with pinkish gas/smoke coming out* Zzzzzzzzz….zzzzz

Yukio: That was the cause….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this causes Rui to burst out laughing*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo snorted as he tries not to laugh but ends up laughing anyways

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he gently shakes emi to wake her*

[spitfire759]

Emi wakes up.

Emi: Hm?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"You just scared the hell out of us you know that..." *he giggles*

[spitfire759]

Emi: Really? *giggles* It tends to happen.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Not me just noticing i colored the wrong way)

"Oooookaaay" *he looks very confused*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah….it’s compli-

Suddenly Yukio knocks down Taīyo as he brings out what looks to be two war fans but they seems to resemble the tail of a peacock. Yukio revealed that he knocked down Taīyo on purple because Douma was about to attack Taīyo.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui now looks even more confused, they were still in lady usagi's mountain and he was the only moon who had any idea it was even here, let alone that anyone from the future or otherwise was even here* "what are you on about??? Douma doesn't even know where this place is"

[spitfire759]

Yukio was able to cut off ‘Douma’s’ head off. ‘Douma’ suddenly turned into a puff of pinkish smoke.

Emi: *sleeping on a cloud as the mouths on the palms of her hands are opened with pinkish gas/smoke coming out* Zzzzzzzzz….zzzzz

Yukio: That was the cause….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this causes Rui to burst out laughing*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo snorted as he tries not to laugh but ends up laughing anyways

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he gently shakes emi to wake her*

[spitfire759]

Emi wakes up.

Emi: Hm?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Not me just noticing i colored the wrong way)

"Oooookaaay" *he looks very confused*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah….it’s compli-

Suddenly Yukio knocks down Taīyo as he brings out what looks to be two war fans but they seems to resemble the tail of a peacock. Yukio revealed that he knocked down Taīyo on purple because Douma was about to attack Taīyo.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui now looks even more confused, they were still in lady usagi's mountain and he was the only moon who had any idea it was even here, let alone that anyone from the future or otherwise was even here* "what are you on about??? Douma doesn't even know where this place is"

[spitfire759]

Yukio was able to cut off ‘Douma’s’ head off. ‘Douma’ suddenly turned into a puff of pinkish smoke.

Emi: *sleeping on a cloud as the mouths on the palms of her hands are opened with pinkish gas/smoke coming out* Zzzzzzzzz….zzzzz

Yukio: That was the cause….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this causes Rui to burst out laughing*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo snorted as he tries not to laugh but ends up laughing anyways

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Not me just noticing i colored the wrong way)

"Oooookaaay" *he looks very confused*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah….it’s compli-

Suddenly Yukio knocks down Taīyo as he brings out what looks to be two war fans but they seems to resemble the tail of a peacock. Yukio revealed that he knocked down Taīyo on purple because Douma was about to attack Taīyo.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui now looks even more confused, they were still in lady usagi's mountain and he was the only moon who had any idea it was even here, let alone that anyone from the future or otherwise was even here* "what are you on about??? Douma doesn't even know where this place is"

[spitfire759]

Yukio was able to cut off ‘Douma’s’ head off. ‘Douma’ suddenly turned into a puff of pinkish smoke.

Emi: *sleeping on a cloud as the mouths on the palms of her hands are opened with pinkish gas/smoke coming out* Zzzzzzzzz….zzzzz

Yukio: That was the cause….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Not me just noticing i colored the wrong way)

"Oooookaaay" *he looks very confused*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah….it’s compli-

Suddenly Yukio knocks down Taīyo as he brings out what looks to be two war fans but they seems to resemble the tail of a peacock. Yukio revealed that he knocked down Taīyo on purple because Douma was about to attack Taīyo.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I swear if this is somehow fucking with the whole time and space stream thing...." *he grumbles before skittering over to check on him*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: No it’s not….Viola told me that the portal is supposed to be a some sort of portal to a another world with the timeline being the same but if the demon slayers and Yōkai join forces. So whatever happens in the timeline…doesn’t affect my world….apparently that name that you said…triggered a memory….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No douma, upper moon two?"

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Yukio gets a headache as he was getting glimpse of memories rushing through his mind.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

Me: *blinks as I try to hold in the urge to squeal and hug you like a koala* *mumbles to myself* Resist the urge! You are here to do a family reunion. *sighs and then looks at you* Hey, Rui! I have a surprise for you! I think that you’ll be happy to see her, but Um. She is right now being difficult and is hanging out with her best friend who would love to meet you too.

In a forest

On a tree branch sat an 18 year old female demon with two pairs of arms. She wears a white short sleeved short kimono with spider web patterns on it with her white hair styled in a braid. Her feet looked similar to that of a spider’s leg with two hook shapes toes. Her eyes are blue with red sclera. She has a side swept hair bang covering her left eye. On another branch is another demon girl but she wears an outfit similar to the demon slayer uniform but the footwear are black boots along with a cap similar to a train conductor’s but has a curly ponytail coming out of it along with two lower ponytails which acts like mist/smoke. Her hair is pinkish magenta with turquoise streaks with golden yellow eyes.

The demon with the spider kimono is wearing a sad expression on her face.

*the little spider demon is surprised to find any of his family had survived the attack on their mountain that had taken most of them and had nearly taken him. He wasn't surprised to see a glum expression on the other spider demons face as he was the only one at the place he had come to call home, she probably thought he had a really bad tantrum and had ended them himself...but being a child he can't help but be excited that he wasn't alone anymore. He scurries over to the base of the tree before taking notice of the second girls outfit and hesitating* "hello..?"

[spitfire759]

The spider demon perked up and looks at Rui. A flash of human memories run through his mind as the older Spider demon reminded him of an older person who always played with him and rush to his side whenever he started coughing.

???: *female voice* Rui, you are not a burden to me. As I said, I will always love you and care for you.

A memory flashed showing a young woman with the exact same hairstyle as the older spider demon but instead it’s black hair. She carrying a bag on her back as she puts her hands on Rui’s shoulders. The girl was tearing up as she hugs him.

???: Rui, I’m gonna go on a journey but I will be back with a cure for your illness. Always remember that Big Sis Reiko always loves you. *hugs Rui close* You know what. Maybe when I bring back a cure. We could go fly kites. Would you like that?

Rui returned to reality as he saw the spider demon climbing onto a lower branch revealing to be 5’5” feet tall due to the part of her legs below the knee taking a similar look to that of a leg of a spider.

Spider demon: Rui? Is that….you? *looks at him as she climbs down the tree and then tears up* Rui… *starts to smile as she is happy to see him walking* You’re walking….You’re walking! *hugs Rui as she sobbed* …Otōto…I missed you so much…I told you that Oneesan would come back…

???: *comes down from the tree* Is that your little brother, Reiko? He’s adorable. *gives Rui head pats* Hi. I’m Emi. Emi Kishikurayami, but I go by Dreamcatcher. You though can call me Emi!

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Reiko...?" *the small spider demon teared up as he practically leapt into his sisters arms* "I know...I was just worried, since it had been so long...I thought you died, I have so much to tell you" *he explains through tears, he then looks up at Emi curiously and wipes his tears away* "It's nice to meet you..."

@spitfire759

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Another Sister? Yay!" *Rui exclaimed excitedly and grinned up at the pair before getting a more curious look on his face* "who??" *he doesn't recall hearing about any demons going by "Sloth" that could potentially cause trouble, and ever since their most recent raid on the mountain Rui has kept his ear to the ground for any new pillars he should be worried about. "Maybe she means enmu?" He wonders to himself.*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly pulls his sister's behind him, he had already lost two families already and he wasn't about to let someone take the start of a third, he was a moon after all so being the strongest as far as he knew it was his job to keep them safe even if they were older...* "Leave my family alone" *he growled lowly getting his threads ready for a fight, while at the same time recalling a secret tunnel to a safer area incase they needed to make a run for it*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui, don’t! He’s more stronger than you think!

Emi: They’ll cut you up in pieces!

Wrath: You should listen to your sisters, Rui

Lust: *sses Rui’s rank and burst out laughing* Lower moon Five?! You’re so weak! You’re not strong enough to beat an upper moon! *laughs* Even us! *reveals his rank at the same time as Wrath* Upper Sun Four!

Reiko: Your boss’s mother said that I have the potential to be an Upper Sun…didn’t she say that?…

Lust: True…but you never ate enough Yōkai! *laughs* But dear~ I suggest you behave or else the punishment will be harsher~ *continues laughing*

Emi: Back off!

Suddenly the two men were eliminated by someone doing a drop kick on Wrath while a bluish colored bomb landed into Lust’s mouth and made him exploded. Reiko and Emi smiled wide when they realized who came and saved them

???: Keep your filthy hands off my pals!

???: I hate it when men don’t treat women with respect!

The two rescuers revealed to be two girls. One being a fiery red Neko who is wearing a short sleeve flame themed kimono with a skirt that is above the knee. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail with a large bang brush to the right side. She held a bomb in her hand that hasn’t been lit yet. She has piercing turquoise eyes. The other girl has an athletic build with muscular legs and arms along with her height being similar to Akaza. She has pale blue faded to white hair tied into a high ponytail braid. She has a pair of bluish white rabbit ears along with green eyes and pale white sclera with a lunar moon marking on her forehead. Along her jawline, there are galaxy cluster markings. Her legs and feet look and bear resemblance to that of a rabbit as her legs are covered in white fur from the feet to above her knees. She wears a pair of black baggy shorts with white bindings and a black sleeveless jacket that is tucked in the bindings making it look like she’s wearing a makeshift sports bra.

Reiko: *looks at the Neko girl* Asahi! *looks at the rabbit girl* Chi-Ling!

Emi: We’re so glad that you came!

Asahi: Anything for my best buds!

Chi-Ling: I’ve gotten sick of being in the Infinite Manor doing nothing plus training became boring so I came along to find myself a sparring partner and to hang out with my pals.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I had to at-least try....I'm only lower five because I don't want to hear Enmu's whining and somebody has to keep idiots out..." *Rui grumbles quietly with his arms crossed and his kimono sleeves flopping over his hands with a faint blush covering his squishy little cheeks* "Thank you..." *he says a bit louder as he uncrosses his arms and acknowledges the new comers though he will admit he is rather confused about what is going on* "Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?"

[spitfire759]

Asahi: You’re welcome and besides. *boops Rui’s nose* We’re planning to join ya family! Well. Chi-Ling here might not but she might but only as a family friend though. Also did you say Enmu?

Emi froze as her eye began to twitch.

Chi-Ling: You shouldn’t have said his name…

They hear bushes rustling as Enmu appears.

Enmu: Ah~! Hello, Rui! I could’ve sworn you mentioned me~! *sees Emi and smiles wide* Emi! It has been so long! I’ve missed you so-!

Emi immediately punched Enmu in the stomach and then drop kicks him to the ground as she creates a rope out of her sleeping mist and tightens it as she plans to hit him like a piñata.

Enmu: Oh~~~ I never knew you were thank type of girl~

Emi’s eye twitched as she had him suspended in the air and drops the rope as she did and upward axe kick sending him flying. She then dusted off her hands and flips her hair as she turned to look at Rui.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui squeaks slightly at the nose boop having expected someone to try to squish his cheeks instead, he then realizes what she just said his eyes going wide* "Even more sisters??? Yay!" *Rui grins and then looks at her questioningly* "Yes I did...Why???" *as soon as enmu reveals himself Rui facepalms* "speak of the devil....what in the flying fuck is he doing in my territory without an invitation? For the second time this month??" *Poor little guy looks rather frazzled* "And who was the hantengu knock off??? Why are they after you guys???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Rui…the main body is the son of the Yōkai Demon Queen Kurai…I can’t say her full name or it will activate her curse. The name of the main body is Seiichi. He is known as Lower Sun Four and he tricked me into working for him because I had to get money to buy a medicine that would’ve cured your illness but it took me long to realize that he lied. Seiichi is only after me and Emi because we’re his “prized assets and prized merchandise”. He treats us as if we were his tools…he even had both of his sisters Yuikiko and Yumiko work for him.

Emi: You won’t have to worry about Enmu because…

She points at the direction where Enmu was thrown as a flash of pinkish red fire appeared far in the direction and they hear Enmu scream because (another oc of mine) cut off Enmu’s head.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?????" *he looks even more confused* "....As long as he doesn't die...for some reason his lordship is almost as attached to him as he is to me..." *he fiddles with the threads in his hands as he thinks* "if they are really that dangerous then we probably shouldn't stick around for them to put themselves back together again...come on i have a secret place we can go to" *he starts leading you all back to the run down shack he has come to call home* "I have friends who will let us stay with them a couple mountains over...they are under some pretty strong protection..."

[spitfire759]

They all nodded and followed Rui into the home.

Reiko: As long as we stay together, that’s all that matters to me, Rui. *hugs him* You’re my pride and joy.

Asahi and Emi hugged the two spider siblings as Chi-Ling spotted another red neko but is a male and seems to be older than Asahi.

Chi-Ling: Asahi…your brother Kasai is here.

Asahi: Oh and I almost forgot that you’re gonna have a big brother! Sometimes I think he prefers to be your brother in law because he has a thing for your big sis.

Kasai came into the shack as he then leans against a wall. He wears a black trench jacket exposing his toned body.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui greedily accepts the hug glad to finally be receiving some hugs* "thank you..." *he looks up to the young man* "eh? Oh hello" *he looks to asahi and then back to kasai his eyes wide* "a big-brother in law??? Cool!" *after being released from the hug he pushes a nearby low table to the side revealing a hidden trap door which he opens revealing an admittedly dimly lit underground tunnel, revealing a girl about Rui's age and size who looks very similar to him holding a lantern and smiling up at him until she see's his flustered face*

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *looks at her and then* Is she a friend of yours?

Emi: Aww. *pinches her cheeks* She’s so cute.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ah right introductions, everyone this is our little sister Tsuki, Tsuki this is our big sister Reiko, our big sister Emi, our big sister Chi-ling, our big sister Asahi and our big brother Kasai" *Rui explains quickly as he steps down into the tunnel* "please lead the way Tsuki"

[spitfire759]

Reiko smiles as she is happy to have a little sister.

Asahi: Where we heading?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"We are heading to my adoptive mother's territory, we'll be safe there as she's very protective of Rui and I and anyone whose friends of ours are protected too, that said please put these on" *she hands each of you a pendant with a dark purple stone from her pouch* "this will let anyone else we run into know that you are under her protection and mine" *for the demons in the group you feel an odd sense of calm come over you when your eyes meet hers*

[spitfire759]

Asahi: *snaps her fingers* You got it!

Chi-Ling and Kasai just nodded as Reiko and Emi puts on their pendants. Kasai, Asahi, and Chi-Ling puts on the pendants

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reveals his pendant which had been hiding under his kimono* "So does anyone have any questions?" *he says leading them into the tunnel*

[spitfire759]

All: No.

Later

They get to the territory as Kasai and Asahi has their hand being on fire but to help Tsuki light the way.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*after traveling through long dark tunnels, we all eventually come to a hatch and a ladder, Tsuki climbs up the ladder and opens the hatch and soft lantern light floods into the tunnels. She then helps the rest of you up and you find yourselves standing in one of the side wings of a massive underground hall (picture the mountain halls from lord of the rings and the hobbit)* "Were safe here...though its just past sunrise by now so everyone is asleep except for mother we should go let her know were all here" *Tsuki explains as she heads towards a staircase*

[spitfire759]

They nodded as they followed Tsuki to where their adoptive mother is. Reiko felt a bit scared as she doesn’t know what to expect.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui follows them after making sure there was nobody trying to sneak behind them and closes the trap door behind him* "Its okay Reiko she's really nice I promise"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *nod* Ok…

Kasai is on guard as he sensed Reiko’s fear.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui walks in after Tsuki and you all see a young woman who certainly has his lordship's family resemblance however her eyes are purple and she has softer features; scoop both of them up into a hug* "Oh right, Mother these are our new siblings and Reiko is my sister from when I was still human" *Rui explained excitedly*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Asahi, Emi, and Reiko flinched as soon as they saw her but calms down because she reminded them of their former master Kurai who also bears some resemblance to Muzan

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*eventually Rui and Tsuki are released from the hug and Rui excitedly shows you all inside the room which looks to be a giant library with a neatly organized desk and a few chairs scattered around* "She's his lordship's big sister but they're pretty much complete opposites"

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Chi-Ling, Emi, Asahi, and Reiko became shocked.

Chi-Ling: Wait…then that means…

Kasai: *looking at the woman* She’s…

Asahi: The boss’s mom…

Emi: Lady Kurai’s…

Reiko: ….aunt….

The six Yōkai demons flinched as they imagined different scenarios of what would happen if Kurai finds out.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*She gestures to the chairs welcoming everyone to have a seat* "That and he is unaware of the fact that I am still among the living. But anyway I should introduce myself my name is Usagi and as I'm sure you guessed I am Tsuki and Rui's adoptive mother as well as the adoptive mother of a few others who are asleep at the moment but if you stay here for the day you will probably meet them tonight" *she explains before she realizes what you said* "Eh? I think you are thinking of someone else, my only children are all adopted I'm the older sister that is only a year older than Muzan..." *she looks confused* "I take it you kids are in trouble with him or similar?" *she sits in the chair behind the desk which she rests her arms on and rests her head in one of her hands, Tsuki also sits nearby*

@spitfire759

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui decides to sit and hugs a small rabbit plush he had tucked into his obi before leaving the house in the woods* "I don't know much about it but yes something like that" *he fiddles with the plushies small paws and wanting to hear an explanation on what is going on so he can help prevent the possibility of loosing his last blood relative*

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

Reiko: It’s a bit hard to explain….

Asahi: You see…

Chi-Ling: It’s a long story…

Kasai: *sighs* Oh for crying out loud… *looks at Usagi* Your brother had five daughters but four of them were killed due to his anger towards the demon slayer corps for attempting to kill Reiki, his Yōkai companion and wife, which involved the daughters getting caught in the crossfire, Reiki was only able to save one that being the youngest that being Lady Kurai who grew up with hatred towards her father the Demon King and the Yōkai for causing Reiki to go into depression eventually having her become a stone statue as punishment for acquainting Lady Kurai’s father in his crimes. She created her own army of a crossbred species called Yōkai demons. She even has her own version of the Twelve Kizuki called the Solar Kizuki. If you want proof, well here is living proof in front of you. Asahi, Chi-Ling, Emi, Reiko, and I are yōkai demons. Now, I gonna grab myself some yuzushu…

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi looks shocked and she begins tearing up. She hadn't known and is now more hellbent to set things right, She had known for a while now that her brother was making a horrible mess that she would have to clean up in the end but she had no idea it had gotten this bad* "I-...I am so sorry...I had no idea. Please stay as long as you like, theres food in the kitchen; down the stairs its the first door on the right. For now I need to wake up my second youngest and go pick someone up....I can only hope it's not too late..., Rui if you know who asks you Suzu and Hana are visiting you in the forest for a change of scenery..." *she stands and scurries out of the room and you hear her sprint down one of the hallways as the door swings closed* "Okay then... I can show you the spare rooms if you would like after you all have something to eat" *Tsuki offers and stands up*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh shit...well I'm glad I have this place to hide out" *he stands and follows Tsuki to the door and thinks to himself "Then again now that I think about it this also probably means that none of the other kizuki are safe...That might mean i need to warn the others"* "Oh yeah mother is a really good cook for a demon"

@spitfire759

@wildfire317s-oc-box

[spitfire759]

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Sorry my signal was acting up)

"I dont believe so aside from my big brother Yukio's stash of blood-wine thats in his room, but I dunno for sure" *Tsuki explains as she leads the way. Upon entering the kitchen you all spot two smaller demons one looking like a six year old version of the cottontail rabbit version of a neko and the other looking like a small sentient doll both of whom look to be sneaking into what looks like a cookie jar* "Ha caught ya" *Tsuki cackles while the other two look rather sheepish* "Don't worry im not gonna snitch"

Elsewhere:

*Lady Usagi tiptoes out of the closet of one of her brothers few remaining children to find both they and their best friend who is upper moon two's only child; sleeping soundly. Quiet as a mouse she tiptoes over to a desk on the far wall and writes a note explaining that they were visiting Rui for a while for a change of scenery for either her brother or nakime to find. She then tiptoes back to her brothers child and douma's child, ever so carefully scoops them up into her arms and re-enters the closet. She will explain the situation to them when they wake up, after all what kind of aunt would she be if she left them there after finding out what she has.*

[spitfire759]

Usagi then sees a pair of Shoji doors open and sees a young boy with long black hair covering his right eye. He has a horn sticking out of the upper left side of his forehead. His exposed eye has a kanji reading Upper Sun Three. The ends of his hair are shaped like clock hands. Next to him is another boy who looks exactly like him but his hair is white and his horn is on the opposite side and his hair is covering his left eye instead of his right. His left eye has the same kanji reading Upper Sun Three. They both held shamisens in their hands as they are in another dimension similar to the infinity fortress but there are branches coming from the walls and floors branching out and acting as pathways and bridges. The two look at Usagi.

Black hair boy: She looks like Lady Kurai…

White hair boy: And the man she wants dead…what should we do, Marise?

Marise: Hm…I suggest reporting this to Lady Kurai…

Akito: *appears behind them* Report to my mother what?

Marise: Greetings, Master Akito.

Ari: Did you and your mother have a nice walk?

Akito: We did. Thank you for asking. *looks at Usagi and looks surprised* You remind me of my mother….

Kurai: Ah, Akito. Your father wants to discuss something with you.

Akito: Yes, mother.

Akito disappeared when Marise and Ari played a note on their shamisens. Kurai glances at Usagi as her (Kurai) turquoise eyes instantly became plum red indicating that she is angry.

Kurai: As I thought….I always told father that the past cannot be erased or forgotten….because there are remnants of the past that will always remain intact and will always come back to haunt him….for example…the sun hanafuda earrings that belonged to the slayer who nearly killed him…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*before any of them can even move an inch, Lady Usagi, the two children and another demon who had been in the closet and had her tail wrapped around Lady Usagi's waist vanish completely in a puff of multicolored smoke, and in that same instant re-appear in a room of the mountain. Mine, better known as the monster in the closet/under the bed had been given the general run down of the situation and was glad that only she and those she is in pretty much direct physical contact with can teleport between closets and beds* "Well that was a bit to close for comfort" "Your telling me, Should we wake everyone up for an emergency announcement or-?" "Probably not everyone, I will go tell Kuroko now but I will definitely wait to give everyone a heads up until the evening." "Alright I think I'm going to go back to sleep" *Lady Usagi nods and exits Mine's room to place Suzuran and Hana in one of the guest rooms before heading down another hallway to wake up the second strongest demon in the mountain*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui assists Tsuki and the rest in finding their new siblings some snacks and unsurprisingly there are a lot of snacks made for demons along with a decent amount of human snacks which Rui explained were mainly for Tsuki, Kimi and a couple of others* "Reiko do you want anything to eat?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure. I’ll have something to eat.

Emi: I prefer eating nightmares. I’m a Baku Yōkai Demon after all. The nightmares are really delicious.

Kasai: Got anything spicy? I want to destroy my record of how much spice I can tolerate.

Asahi: Oooo! I love it whenever Kasai does that. It tends to get intense and interesting when he test his spice tolerance and tries to break his record.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I have just the thing" *Rui says excitedly as he grabs a slice of a chocolate, strawberry roll-cake that Tsuki had made the night before and hands it to Reiko as it had been a favorite of his when he was human.* "Ooooh kinda like big-sis Mine, Theres probably someone in the mountain having a nightmare...as for something spicy..." *he looks through a few cabinets and the pantry before handing him what looks to be a jar of dry extra spicy tantanmen ingredients which includes what looks like a few whole ghost-peppers* "this should work, Kimi and Rin's big sister Tsubaki say's its really spicy..."

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Awww. I remember the times when I would be chocolate strawberry roll cake for you birthday. It was adorable when you got cake on your face when you ate a slice with joy.

Kasai: *eyes widened as he is shocked* Ghost peppers! I’ve been meaning to try these but a certain shamisen playing yōkai demon wouldn’t get it mostly due to being annoyed by me having him get me different types of alcohol all over the world. Ranging from gin to vodka…and to my least favorite….it was really strong but had a very hilarious effect on me…

Asahi: Oh yeah….

Chi-Ling: *facepalms* How could I forget about the….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister…dang. That one was a doozy. After seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!” After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* “They might take our live but you’ll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife’s dignity for all I care”.

Chi-Ling, Emi, and Asahi started laughing at his story.

(I tried to come up with something funny 🥲)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the story makes Rui finally break face and start laughing, he hears Kimi, Rin and Tsuki laughing as well* "oh man i wish i saw that sounds like it was funny" *he then looks up at Reiko with the faintest hint of mischief hiding in his smile* "hey Reiko, didn't you say you liked it when guys could make you laugh??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *blushes in embarrassment* Rui! Yes, I like it when guys make me laugh and it was funny though.

Kasai: I remember that when I was a human, my uncle was so drunk that he stupidly tied bird feathers to a firework rocket and said “Look! Imma make a bird firework!” He lit the firework making it shoot into the air and exploded. Burnt feathers came down and smelt like cooked chicken which made my uncle said “Looks like we’re having chicken tonight”.

Emi, Reiko, Chi-Ling, and Asahi laughed at the funny antic that Kasai’s uncle once did.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggled mischievously at his dear sisters expression before returning his attention to Kasai* "Bird feathers???" *he giggled at the story* "that kinda reminds me of a story my friend Takumi told me when i was human when he and his big brother got ahold of some firecrackers one night, Remember Reiko?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Oh I remembered that you used them to try to scare me.

Emi: I remembered one time when I had my first shot of beer, I was immediately out of it! I was immediately making illusions and clouds out my mist and I immediately passed out floating in the air on a cloud trying to eat it thinking it was wagashi (Japanese sweet)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I thought it would be funny" *Rui says with a mischievous grin as the Tsuki giggles while Kimi and Rin scurry off back to their rooms to get some more sleep, he then turns his attention to emi and asks curiously* "did it taste like wagashi??"

[spitfire759]

Emi: It did. But it tastes differently depending on the dream. Also if you ever have a nightmare, I will take care of it.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles a bit sadly. He had been having plenty if nightmares lately, about what he did...and worse yet what he feels in his heart that he would have been met with if he had died during the most recent slayer attack...he felt for sure that once he died his parents would have been disappointed, and the rest of his adopted family would have been furious and in his nightmares he had to face it; despite Tsuki telling him otherwise.* "I...I appreciate the offer"

[spitfire759]

Later

Reiko is asleep as she held Rui close like a mother hugging her baby. Emi makes a mouth appear on the palm of her hand which blows out lavender scented mist. When the scent hits Rui’s nose, a thought bubble manifests itself showing Rui’s dream.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui seemed rather restless in his sleep, once again having a nightmare. He was panicked and twitching in his sleep like he was trying to run and mumbling slightly but you cannot make out any words. In his dream he was trying to run from that scary water hashira but he just couldn't loose him and every turn led him past former family members that he had cruelly left in the sun to burn, and he couldn't stop crying and trying to apologize otherwise he would be unable to move. He didn't acknowledge the thought bubble at first*

[spitfire759]

Emi then eats the thought bubble which she ate like it was cotton candy. Once she ate it, she manifested herself into Rui’s dream. Emi got in front of Rui as she immediately eliminating the cause of his nightmare. She looks at Rui and whispers ‘sweet dreams’ making Rui fall asleep in the dream waking up in another dream in which is a sunny day and Rui is not a demon but a healthy young human. He sees Reiko who is also human but she is currently making a kite.

Dream Reiko: *looks at Rui and smiles* You’re awake! How was your sleep?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*some small part of him pushes against this, he knows this trick, Enmu has pulled it on him far to many times for him not to recognize it. But another part of him just lets it happen. In this new dream he "wakes up" with a shout looking frightened and seconds away from bolting. Once he takes a look at his surroundings he calms down from acting like a frightened rabbit to instead looking wary.* "Had a nightmare..." *his dream-self replies hesitantly*

[spitfire759]

Dream Reiko: *goes over to Rui and pats his head* It’s okay. Remember that nightmares are not real. They’re just bad thoughts. Hey…want to get your mind off it by flying a kite?

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*in his dream Rui looks down at his lap and fidgets with that one lock of hair that always dangles down into his face before speaking* "thats the thing...most of it was....but okay sure..." *his dream-self replies as he looks up still looking hesitant, he worries that this is some kind of trap and that at any second it will turn bad*

[spitfire759]

The two began to fly a kite together as the day went by so peacefully. Rui hears a voice that sounded like Kasai.

Dream Kasai: Rui! Reiko! It’s time for lunch!

Dream Reiko: Coming! *reels the kite in as she then picks up Rui and runs to their home as they see Kasai, who is also human, setting up the table.

Dream Kasai: How was it?

Dream Reiko: It was great.

Kasai: *kissed Reiko’s cheek as he sat down* I’m glad that the three of us are like a family.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*In the dream Rui doesn't seem to want to let go and is still trembling. He knows something is off and he can't help but look at the door almost expecting something bad to happen* "it was fun..." *his dream-self answers, it wasn't a complete lie it was fun and had he not subconsciously recognized this trick he probably would have enjoyed it more*

[spitfire759]

Emi: *speaks to Rui telepathically* It’s okay, Rui. Enmu is not causing this.

Dream Emi: *came in and she is also human* Ah! Rui! Reiko! Kasai, how are you?

Reunion: I’m going good.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui calms down a fair bit knowing that enmu is not the one in control somehow* "I'm doing okay" *his dream self answers*

[spitfire759]

In the morning

Emi was eating the other demons’ nightmares when Usagi entered.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*After another sleepless day, waking Kuroko and explaining the situation to her, making rounds around the inside of the mountain, explaining what was going on to her brothers child and douma's child as soon as they woke up for the evening, waking up everyone else for the emergency announcement and getting breakfast started, Lady Usagi finally decided that it was time to wake up Rui and the rest of her new (not so little) little ones. She gently knocked on the door before opening it* "Kid's it's time to wake up you've got a big night ahead of you"

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui wakes with a start, sitting up and looking around. His curly locks sticking out every-which-way* "hmmm?" *he questions sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Reiko woke up as her hair is out of the braid and is all curly as if it were natural. Kasai and Asahi came out of their rooms with their hair looking like lion’s mane.

Emi: *stretches as she is munching on a dream cloud that shows a nightmare belonging to Chi-Ling* Man, everyone’s nightmares were delicious.

In the dream, Chi-Ling is getting flashbacks of her forgotten past when she was a human.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi smiles softly at them* "well im glad to hear you enjoyed them. But for now its time for you all to get properly introduced and if you like i can show you around or you can explore on your own if you wish"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You can show us around. It’s best if we know our way around and prevent getting lost.

Chi-Ling: *sleepy as she has her hair tangled up with curls and looking like a lion’s mane* Emi…stop eating my dreams last…you always munch on it.

Reiko tries not to laugh at Chi-Ling because of her hair.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi chuckles softly before speaking* "Alright but breakfast and introductions first okay?" *she then leads them to the dining hall which naturally is right next to the kitchen, where you find multiple large tables and packed with demons of various sizes, strengths, abilities and ages. But the strangest thing of all to you all atleast is that they are all getting along, then over a slight step up that functioned as a stage of sorts where you find Tsuki and another woman waiting. The woman waiting with Tsuki on the stage has the horns, wings, tail and scales of a western dragon and some part of you sense's she is at least as strong as upper moon one.* "Attention everyone" *Lady Usagi's voice ring's loud and clear over the crowd and they quiet down to listen*

[spitfire759]

Kasai, Asahi, Chi-Ling, and Reiko immediately fixes their hair to look presentable. Reiko and Chi-Ling were able to put their hair in a low/high ponytail brai while Emi was able to eat the dream cloud before Usagi calls the crowd’s attention.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Lady Usagi then introduces each of you by name and explains that you are most likely going to be staying for a while for your own safety due to the contents of the emergency announcement earlier in the evening* "-And of course everyone is familiar with Rui and his staying here" *she ends the introduction with a polite bow to the crowd and she leads you to a mostly open table where you find Rin the little doll demon, Kimi the rabbit demon and and teenaged demon that looked like a young kitsune as she only had one tail and bright reddish orange fur with a camellia flower red dress. Tsuki also sits with you while Lady Usagi and the dragon demon go to sit with another group of demons at the next table over with a wolf demon, a demoness who looked like a black cat neko, a demoness with bright white crow wings, a demoness with an assortment of fish-like appendages, a demon with steel grey who was covered in blood red tattoos with gold horns, a tail and large bat like wings, and a demoness with three sets of dark purple horns, two pairs of magenta and neon green eyes, a teal tail and a pair of pink and purple bat-like wings. The Kitsune demon decides to speak up and introduce herself with a shy voice* "Hi my name is Tsubaki the fox demon, it's nice to meet you all my little sisters were telling me about you all this evening" *she turns to kasai with a sweet smile* "i hope you liked the tantanmen i made"

[spitfire759]

The five yokai demons have thanks and begin to eat their ramen. Kasai enjoys the taste. Chi-Ling hums as she is impressed by the delicious flavor. Reiko nods as she savored eating the food.

Asahi: This is delicious.

Kasai: Oh and if you’re cooking again mind adding some peppers in mine, I like eating any dish with the spice.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Aw thank you" *Tsubaki says with a smile before turning to kasai* "Oh I do as well, but the one I made for you and for myself takes a bit to kick in...should kick in in 3...2...1..." *the spice then hits Kasai like a runaway cart, Tsubaki however was expecting it. Tsuki is instead getting into some pastries while Kimi is getting into a bowl of berries and fruits and Rin watches* "So are any of you curious about whats going on around here?" *Rin asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *eyes widened a bit as a satisfying smile crossed his face and smoke came out of his cat ears supposed to indicate that he’s satisfied with the spiciness* Dang! That was good. You picked interesting spices.

Chi-Ling: No. We basically seen these things happen before. Ya know demons getting along with each other. Well not exactly but we’ve seen times when our species the Yōkai Demons get along. *remembers* Heh. I remember that I always liked kicking this one guy’s butt in a sparring match. He doesn’t like fighting women so I tend to call him a wuss.

Reiko: I’m starting to like it here.

Emi: Me too.

Asahi: Totally! *looks at Rin* So…how did you meet Lady Usagi?

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Tsubaki grins at Kasai proudly* "Why thank you, i grew them myself" *Rin nods as she listens to chi-ling and then turns to Asahi* "I actually met her through my adoptive mother Kuroko-" *she explains gesturing to the dragon demoness* "-last year after our house nearly burned down in a forest fire mama, tsubaki, kimi, the rest of our siblings and i had to move in with auntie usagi"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiling* Awww. That was so sweet of her.

Emi was eat her ramen as she looked around curiously in the room but froze when she laid her eyes one of the male demons in the room and her heart began to beat fast.

Kasai: Ya know, Tsubaki. I remember that I heard of two very peppers. One from America called the Carolina Reaper and the other was called Dragon’s breath due to it being very spicy hot that’ll make a human be unable to feel their tongue for a week.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah She's the best auntie" *Rin says with a giggle. Tsuki notices Emi's expression and follows her gaze curiously but it is blocked slightly by the tail of her cousin Asaki the white wolf demon which is wagging happily* "Emi is something the matter?" *Tsubaki turns to kasai with an excited grin* "Eeee i know, My cousin yukio and i have been trying to breed those two in my garden" *she explains excitedly while gesturing to the demon with steel grey skin and golden horns at the table next to them*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: But if you do manage. Let me know because I have a high spice tolerance and I want to see how much I can take of the spiciness.

Emi: *mindlessly makes mini thought bubbles shaped as hearts appear around her* Who is that guy?

(You choose which of the male demons might be a good match for her)

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(I mean there are only two that are visibly guys and yukio is into guys so its automatically asaki ^_^;)

"I mean we were going to go to my garden in the indoor forest area after breakfast to see if there are any sprouts, i might even be able to convince Suzu to help" *Tsubaki tells you excitedly, before tuning into Emi and Tsuki's conversation* "Eh? Oh thats my big brother Asaki" *She gets a mischievous smirk and calls out to him* "Hey Asaki how about you come introduce yourself wolf-pup" "Eh??? Oh!" *He turns in his seat to face your table* "Sorry completely forgot, I'm Asaki" *he says with a rather boisterous voice despite the sheepishness hiding in his smile, his fluffy wolf tail wagging excitedly and his wolflike ears pointed attentively*

(I have links to their profiles on my link tree)

[spitfire759]

Emi: *blushes as she immediately gets rid of her thought bubbles and casually continues eating*

Reiko: *looks at Rui with a smirk* We should get them together.

Kasai: Oh I also remembered that I told Rui and some you guys a funny drunk story last night.

Reiko: You mean when you tried your first….yay-gar?

Kasai: Yägermeister....It tasted terrible. It has more sugar and it’s consistency is like syrup. Plus it will make you feel like you drank too much cough drops. It’s so scary because after drainking a shot. You end up gagging. Like this *gags as a demonstration but kept his mouth closed* For six minutes. You can’t gag! Plus it destroyed me, because after seventeen shots, I was like *mimics an English accent* “You better be looking good with the ladies, son! Ya mum is expecting to have grandkids!" After twenty shots, I was like *fakes Irish accent* "They might take my life but you'll never take and ruin my dignity! You can ruin my ex wife's dignity for all I care". I act like a divorced drunk man.

Reiko, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Emi started laughing as they had remembered to have sneaked into the club to see him drink Yägermeister at the time of when it happened.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Asaki, Tsubaki, Kimi, Rin and Tsuki start laughing. Tsubaki's laugh sounds almost like a foxes bark. This draws the attention of the black-cat neko* "Mrrrp?" *she hummed questioningly* "You should have seen Yukio when he was drunk the other night he was trying to do a rendition of one of his favorite scenes in a play we were preforming and-" *Asaki starts to explain before the grey skinned demon rests his forearms and chin ontop of Asaki's head with a smirk* "What about me?"

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Damn. I would’ve said that you looked beautiful…. If I was drunk on Jäger.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Ouch, I just happened to hear my name and thought to see what my little cousin was on about" *he give kasai a shark-like grin with a mischievous flick of his long arrow-headed tail. He looks like he's only a year older than Asaki* "the end to that story goes, I tripped and fell on my ass and somehow knocked down the entire backdrop on their makeshift stage" "understatement of the year yuki-" "yeah" *Asaki cackles and the black-cat Neko chimes in*

[spitfire759]

Kasai: *looks at Yukio* Sorry you’re not my type. *accidentally drinks a mug of umeshu and chuckles as his cheek heat up and looks at Reiko* But she’s my type.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yeah I can tell" *he says with a smile, he ruffles Asaki's short white hair before returning to his seat* "He has a radar for that kind of thing...Oh right I'm Kiki by the way" *the cat demon says in a voice that is quiet and soft. Her tail swaying ever so slightly* "There are a lot more stories like that" *Asaki says with a chuckle*

[spitfire759]

Chi-along: When I had my first shot of chuhai, I didn’t get drunk. After seventeen shots, I still didn’t get drunk. After twenty five shots, i wasn’t drunk!

Kasai: Dang, woman! You can’t get drunk until a certain amount!

(I am not an expert on alcohol I look up online because I wanted to have an oc character who is an expert in alcohol.)

Chi-Ling: It was until I had my thirty fifth shot that I showed signs of being drunk! I was like *mimics an accent* “Ayer, Cherie!” One time some drunk randomly shouted at me saying “Take it off” and I said “No! You take it off!” I wanted to seriously beat the shit out of him. But I didn’t. Instead, I smashed a bottle of wine on that guy and that guy *points at Emi* was her ex boyfriend Enmu.

Emi accidentally snorted her drink from her nose a bit and began coughing.

Emi: *in between laughs and coughs* You smashed a liquor bottle on Enmu?!

Chi-Long: Yup.

Kasai: *drunk* I’m glad you did that because I hate wine…the reason is that *hic* You can’t accurately measure wine….you can measure real liquor. It’s called a shot. Plus you know after drinking enough times what you can handle and what you can’t handle, because people who drink a lot love to brag about their drinking abilities. They have their drinking numbers.

Chi-Ling: You’re right, but I don’t drink a lot. I just take one shot of chuhai every night and smash bottles of wine on some guy who tries to flirt with me.

Kasai: And I would be dragging their asses out the door.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the news that enmu got a bottle of booze smashed on his head causes Rui to start cackling and the other join in* "S-so thats why? Hahaha that why he showed up to one of the meeting smelling like alcohol??"

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Wait, what happened to him when they smelt the alcohol?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui shrugs* "Muzan-sama just thought that he had been hunting drunks the night before and one had gotten a swing on him before he knocked them out" *Rui explains with a mischievous smirk. Oh goodness now he has something to dangle over enmu's head if he needed*

[spitfire759]

Meanwhile

Marise is secretly in the infinity fortress because he developed a crush on Nakime and doesn’t want anyone but Nakime to know. Ari on the other hand is sneaking off to find Kasai and the others because he wanted to drop a bottle of champagne onto Enmu and Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*little do they know that they are being watched by hundreds of Ruis spiders, each of which is being ridden by one of Rin's little wooden-bead dolls on Lady Usagi's request*

[spitfire759]

Ari finds one of the spiders and smirks as he whispers to the spider.

Ari: Hey, I am planning to drop bottles of wine on Lower Moon one and upper moon three plus maybe Upper moon two. Mind if you help?

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*the spider does not reply, it seems to just be an observer rather than anything that acts as a way for you to communicate, behind you the hundreds of other spiders disappear into the cracks and crevices of the infinite fortress, creating a faint noise but the are all gone out of sight before you turn around, upon turning around the spider you did find disappears into a hole in the floor*

[spitfire759]

Ari: I thought those were Reiko’s…. *sees a spider that belongs to Reiko and picks it up* Yui. Mind if you tell Reiko to grab two bottle of wine.

Yui makes some cute spider noises and nods as she disappears and reappears in front of Reiko.

Reiko: *sees the spider and scoops her up* Ah! Yui! *nuzzles the spider with her nose* I missed you.

Yui makes some spider noises telling her what Ari said which Rui understands as well as Reiko.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*its pretty clear the Rui is definitely the more skittish of the pair. And He looks concerned when he hears mention of the infinity castle in combination with an unfamiliar name. He had also sent out messenger spiders to the rest of the kizuki's territories with a heads up of the general idea of the situation excluding his new hiding place or the fact that douma's daughter and his lordships child was staying with him (basically stating that some weird people came to his forest and he could sense that they were trouble)* "Who is that Reiko, should we be worried??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: This little spider is my friend Yui. The person Ari you’re curious about is someone who has the Yōkai demon art of teleporting by playing a single note on his shamisen and he’s actually a clone of the real one whose name is Marise.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*that revelation only makes him look more worried* "He won't do anything if he....?" *he lets the question trail off, he doesn't want to think about it but he NEEDS to make sure that Reiko, tsuki and the others in his new family would be safe if he found this place*

[spitfire759]

Reiki: Marise only cares about Lady Kurai, her mate, and her eldest son Akito who is really nice. Ari is a fun person to be around plus he just wants to smash a bottle of wine on Enmu and two other demons with the titles Upper Moon Three and two.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks a little less worried but not by much...after all he's seen first hand what those two "crackheads" as he's heard lord kokushibo refer to them as; were capable of* "Okay..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Emi, Rui and Reiko are at a random place in secret as they have bottles of wine in possession. A small trap door opens as Ari came through it by climbing with his hair being tentacles. He then makes a shamisen appear and plucks a string to make the trap door show Enmu, Douma, and Akaza in one place as the two masochists were talking while Akaza was annoyed. Kokushibo is at the side unexpectedly drinking tea as he was playing shogi against Akito. Emi smiles evilly as she held one of the bottles above Enmu and drops it successfully making it hit Enmu smashing it in the process.

Douma: Hm? Oh my! How did you get drench in booze?

Akaza: *ticked as he grabs a bottle of champagne from the table and planned to smash it on Douma* Shut up!

Reiko drops a bottle of wine on Douma just as Akaza smashed the bottle of vodka on Douma. Akito is just casually drinking tea with Kokushibo while having a radio play British music.

Akito: Nothing like old classic music to ease the tension.

Kokushibo: Indeed…. *moves a piece* …

(😂😂😂😂)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui unsure of what to do just opens the bottle and spills it on enmu's butt when he bends over to look at the glass* "....?"

(Lol)

[spitfire759]

Reiko held in her laugh as she stepped back to make some room.

Emi: All you have to do is drop the bottle onto them. *tickles him a bit making him drop the bottle onto Enmu’s back* …

Emi threw a bottle of champagne at Akaza making it shatter on Akaza. Reiko had all of the champagne and wine bottles hovering above. Ari used his hair to move Emi and Rui away from the trap door to make the trap door big enough for Reiko to drop all the bottles they have in possession onto Akaza, Enmu, and Douma. Reiko let’s go of her threads making a rain of alcohol bottles come down on the three members of the Twelve Kizuki. Not a single drop of alcohol landed where Kokushibo and Akito are. They continue casually drinking tea and playing shogi while listening to British music. Kokushibo looks at Enmu, Douma, and Akaza with confusion until he looks up. Akito looks up as well seeing Reiko, Rui, Emi, and Ari. The two Upper Rank Ones gave the four a thumbs up as a way of saying thanking you for making them shut up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks nervous once Kokushibo and the one across from him spot him, sure he would probably get away if it were lord muzan who spotted him but he was well aware that Kokushibo was not as lenient*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo: I will….let….you off the hook….if you do this again….make sure to inform me….so I can make sure that they don’t escape….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui yelped with alarm when Kokushibo appeared near him before quickly clearing his throat and trying to look normal and unbothered* "yes lord kokushibo...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly a bottle of champagne was smashed onto Ari as an angry Marise is behind him with anger.

Marise: You humiliated me….

Ari: It wasn’t me!

Marise: Lies! I saw a glimpse of white hair when the culprit who dropped it onto me.

Suddenly a bottle of wine was dropped onto Marise’s head. He looks to see a portal as a male pure crossbred yōkai demon is sticking his head out. His face and hair bears so much resemblance to Kokushibo but his eyes resemble to that of a bird and has white hair with the tips being red and his eye color is crimson red.

???: Haha!

Reiko: Wait….I recognize you…you’re the Sun Yōkai Hashira, Hikaru Tsuki.

Hikaru: *pops the p* Yup! Hehe

Kokushibo blinks as he saw that Hikaru bears resemblance to a women he had fell in love with.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui quickly grabs his new siblings and scurries away, he knows damn well this is not a fight he can win*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell out of the portal and disappeared as he reappeared in front of Rui and hugs him tightly and rubs his cheek against his.

Hikaru: So cute!!!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*his hair poofed out to the max and reiko knows that usually means black-out panic mode. And semi-expectedly Rui bites what he can reach before trying to scramble away*

[spitfire759]

Reiko chokes Hikaru with her threads decapitating him but only to realize that he is not dead.

Hikaru: Ouch! That hurt!

Reiko hugs Rui as she shushes him to reassure him.

Suddenly Tsukikage appeared only to shake his head and reattached Hikaru’s head and then drags him into the shadows by the collar

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*you feel Rui's heart racing, you then feel him hand you something that feels like a hand bell before you hear him mutter* "blood demon art, murderous eye basket" *which he then places over himself, reiko and his new family as a shield dome*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *closes her eyes she creates a web to make the shield dome stronger* Yōkai Demon Art: Thread Barrier, Defense!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he grabs the golden bell with spiderweb carvings from your hand with his mouth and rings it loudly. Moments later he is relieved to feel a tail dart between the webs and wrap around everyone like a lasso and yank everyone into a nearby closet, then a feeling similar to when he is teleported by nakime combined with a puff of colorful smoke and seconds later he finds himself, his new siblings and Mine tumbling out of Mine's closet back at the mountain* "so glad nakime puts closets everywhere...."

[spitfire759]

Suddenly Tsukikage pokes his head out of the shadows.

Tsukikage: I apologize for my brother’s actions. He tends to act like a child. I’ll leave you be.

Tsukikage disappeared

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Hey heads up I'm not going to be on much today)

*Reiko feels Rui jump slightly from the sudden appearance, but once the stranger has vanished he curls closer to his sister still a bit on edge, so far it seems this evening has been a bit much for the little spider-boy* "physically, mentally or emotionally...?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Physically. Yes. Mentally. Yes for me but no for Rui. Emotionally…not sure

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Oh you poor little dear" *After wiggling out from under the pile she gently pats Rui on the head* "do you guys want me to go get Tsuki-chan?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Go ahead

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*Mine nods and exits the room to go find Tsuki*

[spitfire759]

Later

Rui and Reiko were playing ayatori when suddenly they hear a shamisen being played as they were teleported to another dimension that looks similar to the Infinity Fortress but there are bridges that take form of huge tree branches. They are on a platform with a few other Yōkai demons including Emi, Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai. There is one yōkai demon that is a female with the body similar to a praying mantis however what is unique about her is that she has dragonfly wings and maintains a head similar to a human but also have two antennas curved back. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Six". There is a male serpent yōkai demon with the lower half being a snake. His scales are white but with black markings similar to a mamushi. His eyes are heterochromia; left being green while right being turquoise, with black sclera. He has engravings in his eyes reading "Lower Sun Four". Another female yōkai demon takes form of a female Naga. Her tail is similar to a yellow bellied sea krait but the yellow part is light blue. She has engraving in her eyes reading "Lower Sun Five". The one who takes position of Lower Sun three is a female with icy blue hair fade to white. Her hair is put into a low ponytail braid and wears an ice themed kimono over a demon slayer uniform. Her eyes are icy blue with pitch black sclera. She has snowflake markings on her cheeks and the middle of her forehead. Kurai appears to them in a form of how she looks like as a male.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui subtly grabs the bell in his sleeve with one hand and Reiko's hand in another*

Meanwhile back at the mountain:

*One of Rui's spiders goes to alert Lady Usagi*

[spitfire759]

Reiko hugs Rui close as Emi scoots over to comfort Rui.

Kurai: Bow and prostrate yourselves….. *notices Rui* Except for you, Reiko….I can see that you have…Lower Moon Five with you….

The other Lower Suns gasps. The upper suns, who are currently spectating the meeting, looked in shocked except for Chi-Ling, Asahi, and Kasai.

Kurai: *disappears and reappears in front of Reiko to examine Rui* I can see that he is your little brother….I will allow you to keep Lower Moon five…after all…you have been surpassing my expectations, Reiko…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui curls into a ball with his eyes closed, he's clearly scared. Scared enough that it sends an alert to a certain demon lord as well as to Lady Usagi, He then gets a familiar chill up his spine when he hears quiet whispers of the deceased in his ears. He can guess that Tsuki has figured out that he's been taken, which more than likely means that Lady Usagi knows, Which in turn means that the whole mountain probably knows and if not the whole mountain than atleast his non-currently present adoptive siblings, his adoptive mother, his adoptive aunt and his adoptive cousins. Reiko you notice that the one who Rui bit earlier has a large, dark purple swell where they got bitten*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is also scared as she held Rui closer.

Kurai: I welcome you to the family, Lower Moon Five….

Kurai walks away from the two as she goes back on her platform.

Kurai: I called this meeting to inform you that I have received information that my Father has decided to dismantle the Lower Moons…only Lower Moon One was kept alive…however, this doesn’t mean that you can slack off…I want you to continue consuming Yōkai and training to get stronger…remember…Upper Moon One is your main concern…he is unpredictable when it comes to his attacks…after all…he uses the second most powerful Breathing Breathing Technique…Moon Breathing…meeting adjou-

Suddenly Kurai stopped as she sensed Lady Usagi penetrating the Infinite Manor as she heads over to get Reiko, Chi-Ling, Kasai, Asahi, Rui, and Emi.

Kurai: *looks at Lady Usagi with plum red eyes* How?! How did you get in?!

Kurai makes eight whip like tendrils with blades at the end come out of her back and makes her nine tails appear and turn into obi sashes except for one and unleashed an attack on Lady Usagi.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*the attack barely leaves a scratch, and she does not say a word. The shadows from the surrounding area darken and start to move on their own until the actually become tangible and quickly wrap around Kurai's arms and legs, lifting him into the air. Her eyes are glowing brightly like amethyst lanterns. Several other sets of glowing eyes appear behind her until then right above her appear two massive glowing indigo eyes. Next to her stands a figure just as small as Rui with a similar appearance except her eyes are pitch black and she has a pair of daggers at the ready. A growl rumbles like close thunder from the direction of the larger set of glowing eyes before what looks like a western dragon twice as tall and thrice as long as an elephant steps forward and wraps its tail around Rui, Reiko and Emi with Tsuki, Kimi, Rin, Tsubaki and Nijiko scurrying quickly behind and standing infront of them. Then Usagi speaks* "I Will Only Explain This Once. I Am Not One To Be Trifled With And As Such Neither Is Anyone Under My Protection." *The Suns sense that The dragon is as strong if not more so than upper moon one, The fish-scaled demoness and the large one eyed demon-cleaver in her hands are as strong if not more so than upper moon five, the four eyed demoness is atleast as strong as upper moon six, the pair of girls standing on either side of lady usagi are both atleast as strong as lower one with quite a bit of potential and the small human girl has the strength and potential to be a powerful pillar as-is*

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *glares as she changes to her normal form and gets herself free* Tch…you don’t even know who you’re even talking to…I am the Yōkai Demon Queen….Kurai Kizaki…Formerly Kurai Kibutsuji……Reiko and Dreamcatcher are members of the Solar Kizuki….they uphold the positions of Lower Sun One and Two….

Suddenly Lady Usagi sensed a very powerful and terrifying presence that will make Hantengu pee himself. It was coming from behind her. The presence is from the one who upholds the position of Upper Sun Zero. He takes on a similar appearance as Kokushibo but the head takes form of a bird head that looks to resemble a black bird or crow. He has six crimson red eyes with golden yellow sclera. Around his waist, he has two katanas sheathed as he has his hands on them ready to unsheathe them. He has his hair tied in a ponytail with the strands of hair resembling feathers. His hair is black with purple tips. He wears a purple kimono shirt with black feather designs on it.

Reiko: *eyes widened as she looks at the person* ….Tsukuyomi-san… *looks at Lady Usagi* Miss Usagi….you can’t fight them! *looks down* The Solar Kizuki have ate and killed so many Yōkai…the blood of the Yōkai is some at to a Marechi and makes the Yōkai Demons stronger to fight! Upper Sun Zero is Lady Kurai’s strongest and is someone who you should not try to mess with!

Asahi felt unsure to barge in but felt scared. Akito notices and comforts her.

Tsukuyomi: *deep and dark voice* You better listen to Reiko….She is correct…about me…I am a Shikigami Karasutengu….Yōkai Demon…formerly…a Moon Phoenix Yōkai….known to be the rarest…

Seiichi: *chuckles* Same old Tsukuyomi…Amekami-san…you always liked to scare the shit out of others with your presence.

Tsukuyomi: ….It is because….to be feared…you have to…put up a threatening….aura…

Seiichi: Ah! Which is basically what you’re good at!

???: Ehehehehe! Yup! Like me~!

The voice came from a female Yōkai demon who takes position of Upper Sun Five. She is a young woman wearing a red spider lily themed kimono with a short skirt. She has two red spider lily bows on her hair which tied into two ponytails. She carries a scythe that has red spider lily design on it. She has red eyes with black sclera.

Girl: Hi! *waves* I’m Yuri! Yuri Higanbana! *does some handsprings and elongated her neck to look at you up close* Ooooo~!!! New friends~~~! What an interesting bunch you are! Do you like blood? *giggles as she twists her neck in a circular direction slowly and spoke as her voice slowly became demonic* Do you like watching people scream and cry in agony as they bleed out as you rip out their organs?

Kurai: Yuri! Behave yourself….

Yuri: Sorry! Hehehehe~!

Reiko: Yuri will always be the scariest looking one…out of the Solar Kizuki besides Tsukuyomi-dono…..

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"And clearly you don't know who you are talking to either. Unsurprising considering my baby brother, your father never has anything to say about me." *a shadow picks the presence up from behind her and dangles them upside-down as easily as a rag doll in front of her. Surprisingly she looks unfazed* "And for the record I let you loose." *She drops the second one* "Though I will admit I am curious, Just what exactly are they in trouble for?"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: I was just about to say that the meeting is adjourned until you barged in…and did you call my father your brother?

Kurai clenched her fist which immediately made the Lower Suns. Tsukuyomi freed himself revealing that he can manipulate shadows as well. He then disappeared and reappeared back to his platform away from the Lower Suns. Yuri also went back to her spot. The Lower Suns immediately scattered into hiding places. Emi and Reiko on instinct dashed to a corner of the room and hides from Kurai’s potential wrath.

Kurai: So all this time….. *eyes glowed* HE NEVER MENTIONED HAVING AN OLDER SISTER?!

Ari and Marise immediately teleported to their hiding place as Kurai unleashed her wrath destroying everything around her. Kurai calms down as she knew to act properly.

Kurai: Excuse my behavior…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Yes I've heard, Rui told me not long ago. From what I gathered he was having a temper tantrum due to having to many distractions at once and mistaking Rui's escape tactic for his demise. And after finding out that he was not dead he felt rather stupid as he should, though i meant what are they in trouble for with upper four over there." *she gestures to the hantengu knock off. Kuroko curls around her little devils and her scales become larger and develop a slight glow, while the fish scaled demoness forms a wall of water around her and the others. Usagi however is unfazed aside from an eyebrow quirk* "Oh yes, Though honestly I'd be surprised if he even knows I'm still around and cleaning up after his messes. If that's the case I doubt he told you that you have a half sibling as well? Im guessing because he didn't tell anyone about them until recently"

[spitfire759]

Lyria: *to Lady Usagi* Shut up! Don’t make her more angry!

The Lower suns were making hand gestures to tell her to quiet because they know what happens when she is angry.

Lyria: Do not anger her more! SHE IS TERRIFYING WHRN SHE IS MORE PI-!

SPLOTCH!!!!

Lyria’s head was ripped off by Kurai as she held it in her hand. Her eye twitched as she is even more pissed off by the fact that she had more siblings feeling that he was trying to replace her.

Kurai: That son of a bitch….

Kurai threw Lyria’s head back to the body which reattached her head. Kurai sighs.

Kurai: I’m gonna kill that fucking bastard…

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*a quiet but calm voice sounds from just behind Usagi* "Technically I am an "accident" that he decided to keep for experimentation...and the last one as far as I know" *Kurai see's an androgynous demon with their nose in a gardening book. They look like Muzan and Lower One at the same time and look to be about fifteen years old* "...Pardon?" "Conversation for another time auntie...Suzuran kibustuji, they them for tonight." *In the background you hear Rui trying to calm Tsuki out of her rage mode* "...Anyway...The point of this visit was to get Rui and his new siblings back as I had misunderstood and thought they had been taken as a result of their interaction with another one of your sun's last night, that is my bad. However I will be keeping Rui in my care for his own safety. And Suzu- at this rate...One moment..." *She goes and picks up Tsuki* "Hey hey hey look at me, settle down kiddo" *Tsuki's eyes and the moons light go back to normal and she doses off, Usagi comes back and hands her to Mine* "Anyway"

[spitfire759]

Kurai: *turns her back as she thinks about whether or not to let this slide* ….Since Rui…Lower Moon Five is a sibling of Reiko…I am not that cruel….I’ll allow you and the rest of your family to reside here in the Infinite Manor…this place is only accessible by calling for either Ari or Marise to teleport you here…this meeting is adjourned.

Marise and Ari played their shamisens teleporting them back to where they were originally except that Reiko and Rui are back at Usagi’s home.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

*A shadow remains where she stood and speaks in a distorted voice and decidedly creepier voice* "We have our own way, And besides I would like to continue this conversation soon." *The shadow vanishes*

[spitfire759]

Kurai remained silent.

Meanwhile

Reiko is currently humming a lullaby to calm Rui

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui still seems nervous and is trying to hide* "....hm?" *he finds that he is curled in a ball but instead of kuroko's tail he finds himself behind back in lady usagi's library and safely in his older sisters arms with Tsuki asleep next to him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: We’re safe now, Rui. Lady Kurai spared you because you and reminded her of her relationship with her sisters.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he still looks anxious but nods anyway* "O-Okay..." *hes rather frazzled and were muzan to look into his mind he would probably think he was under attack from a hoard of slayers or something* "what about the others?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: They’re also okay.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright..." *He is still a bit nervous but atleast now he looks like he is out of defensive biting territory*

[spitfire759]

Reiko started singing a lullaby that Rui is familiar with. It was the lullaby that she sings whenever he felt scared or had a nightmare

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he leans his head on her shoulder and actively tries to calm down until he starts dosing off*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: *smiles* Sweet dreams…

Few nights later

Reiko and Rui are outside chasing after Chi-Ling who ran off to go annoy a Yōkai Hashira named Akiro Yūrenagi who fights hand to hand combat mostly but has a katana strapped to his waist as he can use wind breathing.

Chi-Ling: Hehe…Can’t wait to fight him again.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui tries to use his threads to snag her and pull her back to them* "here's an idea, let's not and say we did"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Why even fight him?! Chi-Ling, you keep up messing with that Battle Wind Yōkai Hashira by trespassing on his territory!

Chi-Ling: I’m a martial artist and I crave for a great fight!

Chi-Ling is starting to remind Rui of Akaza.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"This is why have training rooms back home...Why not just brawl with one of the others?? Preferably one that isnt a hashira...." *this was beginning to remind him of akaza, usually this kind of thing would be rather entertaining, but that was when akaza was fighting with douma and not actively chasing down a hashira*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Akiro is fun to mess with

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*she then runs into a web which bounces her back closer to them which Rui created while she was distracted*

[spitfire759]

Chi-Ling: Dammit… Now I won’t get to fight him…. *realizes something and smirks* Or will I..

Chi-Ling looks behind her to see a green and blue line that only Yōkai and Yōkai demons are able to see. The line indicates the boundary of a Yōkai Hashira’s territory which every Yōkai is welcome to be within unless it is a Yōkai Demon. Whenever a Yōkai Demon crosses the boundary line, the Yōkai Hashira will immediately sense them trespassing.

Chi-Ling: He’s coming~~~~~

Suddenly a crash was heard a few yards away.

A male yōkai appeared. He is wearing a pair of baggy white pants with a white belt around the waist holding up the pants. A katana is strapped to his waist on the side. As the dust settles a bit, the yōkai reveals to have yellow gold with lime green tipped hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes are golden yellow and they have kanji engraved on them seemingly as if they’re done by himself and perfectly. The kanji reads Upper Yōkai Three. He has yellow markings on his body similar to Akaza’s but the ones on his face looked almost similar to Sukuna except that on his forehead is a thunderbolt marking. He is also wearing a pair of brass knuckles made of nichirin. The color of the metal is yellow mixed with lime green.

Chi-Ling: *smirks* Akiro! Long time no see!

Akiro: Cut the crap. I am sick and tired of you barging into my turf while I was in the middle of a fight with Upper Moon Three!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh great Akaza is here too" *Rui grumbles sarcastically*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eye twitched* You even dragged a friend of yours who is holding a kid?! Trespassing on a Yōkai Hashira’s territory means death!

???: AKIRO! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR FIGHT!

Akiro: *behind* SHUT UP! REMEMBER THE-! *looks at Reiko* Cover the kid’s ears.

Reiko covers Rui’s ears. Akaza appears and he’s mad at Akiro.

Akiro: *looks at Akaza* Remember the b#%ch who keeps trespassing. *points at Chi-Ling* That’s her…

Akaza: *looks at Chi-Ling* So you’re the one who keeps barging in…. *smacked Akiro on the head* YOU FOUGHT A WOMAN?!!! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I already know how to swear thanks to akaza and most of the other upper moons now that i think about it....also for the record we were trying to stop her"

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *eyes became covered by shadows* You ruined a child’s innocence?!

Akiro immediately starts to beat up Akaza which was painful for him due to Akiro using his nichirin brass knuckles

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"It was mostly Douma if anyone..." *the statement wasn't untrue, Douma being douma taught him most of the swear words on purpose, akaza's were mainly on accident*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: *froze* That womanizer?! Akaza…. *hands him a pair of nichirin brass knuckles* You’re gonna help me kick that womanizer’s @$$…

Reiko: *smiles darkly as she creates a web with her threads* Let me come…

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

".....Should i go let Kokushibo-san know you three are coming to kick doumas ass?? Also Gyokko was almost as bad..." *Rui explains looking at a roll of paper he kept which listed which of the upper moons taught him what words, and by the looks of it Douma and Gyokko were pretty close with Hantengu surprisingly being third*

[spitfire759]

Akiro: Yup

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Alright...last i checked it was on the way..."

[spitfire759]

Later

Gyokko is being thrown around by Akiro like a rag doll while Akiro trapped Douma in a chokehold.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*hiding behind Kokushibo and Reiko just watching the chaos*

[spitfire759]

Reiko is eating a bucket full of human eyeballs that she got from Emi.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*tugs on his sisters sleeve and once he has her attention he asks* "may i have one?"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Sure!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he snags one from the bucket before quickly popping it into his mouth*

[spitfire759]

Akiro smashed one of the pots with Gyokko’s face having the shards dig into the face. Akiro was so made that suddenly he sprouted a long whip like tail with the end being a scorpion stinger but disguised as fluff. Akiro snaps D EEEEEEEEEEE neck with his tail and stings him sending an electro shock through Douma’s body electrocuting him in the process.

Akiro: IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A MELTED SNOWMAN!

Akiro sprouted wings from his lower back and flew into the air and then flew back down and slammed Douma into the ground turning him into a pile of flesh and blood.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui watches curiously but got startled slightly by the sudden physical transformations*

[spitfire759]

Akiro then circles and wraps his tail around Reiko and Rui and snarls at Gyokko and Douma like a lion protecting his cubs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui reaches up and gently pats him and Reiko on the head*

[spitfire759]

The pupils of Akiro’s eyes became dilated as he laid down and rubs his head against Rui’s hand as he purrs and let’s out some growls but indicating that he likes being petting. Reiko smiles and then gives Akiro a gentle chin scratch. When she did, Akiro froze and collapsed to the floor as he fell asleep.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui giggle at first, but then he notices gyokko and douma getting back up, he then hides behind Kokushibo knowing they will probably listen to him*

[spitfire759]

Kokushibo pats Rui’s head to give him reassurance. He notices three pairs of eyes in the shadows targeting Gyokko and Douma. Kokushibo smirked and snapped his fingers giving a signal to the three pairs of eyes. A shadow manifested creature came out and smacked Gyokko and Douma to the ground pinning them down. Hikaru and Tsukikage came out and stabbed their flesh katanas into the both upper moon two and five’s heads.

Kokushibo: Well done….my sons….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui smiles up at them* "thank you very much...*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: You’re welcome! *wags tail feathers* You’re so cute!

Tsukikage: *smacks Hikaru on the head* Hikaru…

Hikaru: Sorry!

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui giggles as the feathers tickle him*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gasps as he dramatically clenched his chest and falls back as he ‘dies’ of the cuteness.

Tsukikage: *starts to tickle Rui with his wing feathers* ….I will admit…Hikaru is correct about you….you are adorable….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this makes Rui squeak and start laughing while trying to "protect" his more ticklish spots with his arms*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage continues tickling him but froze when he heard Rui’s laugh bring back memories of when he would tickle Hikaru to cheer him up. Tsukikage tears up as he gently hugs Rui. Rui felt a calming and serene presence like the moon when Tsukikage hugged him.

(Cool fact is that. Hikaru’s hugs are warm like the sun and Yoriichi. Meanwhile, when Tsukikage hugs someone, the person will feel at ease as they feel a calm and serene feeling like the moon.)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh?" *Rui hugs him back though he is curious as to why he randomly got a hug, but he's not one to refuse a hug as much as he loved attention*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage: You remind me of my younger twin brother….when he and I were infants….

Hikaru: *gets up* Oh yeah! You would tickle me to cheer me up.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Thats a normal thing siblings do to cheer eachother up? I thought that was just a Tsuki thing" *he asks curiously as he still doesn't remember much of anything from when he was growing up*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Yeah. It’s a normal thing for siblings to cheer their older or younger siblings whenever they feel sad or had a bad day. It’s mostly the older siblings who do that but there are times where the younger will try to cheer up the older sibling. Older siblings love to see their younger siblings smile. Not a forceful one but one that shows that they are happy.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ooooh okay, that makes sense now" *he looks less confused now*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru gives him a closed eye smile. (By the way I imagined his smile being a combination of Doma’s and Tanjiro’s. Doma’s on the look but with the warmth that is felt when Tanjiro smiles)

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he smiles back and pats him on the head*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru fell onto the floor and on his chin while laying down like a cat as he moves his tail feathers up and down enjoying the head pats and purrs

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*he also reaches to give tsukikage headpats as well*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Give Tsukikage chin scratches first and then the head pats. He loves the chin scratches.

@rui-ayaki-lower5

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Oh okay" *he gives tsukikage chin skritchies*

[spitfire759]

Tsukikage froze as he collapsed onto the floor and began purring like a cat. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the chin scratches.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*this made Rui giggle a bit*

[spitfire759]

Hikaru: Hehe.

Hikaru sees a strange light in the corner of the room and looks to see it coming from a hole to another room. He peeks through the hole and sees a portal.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Whats that???"

[spitfire759]

(Be prepared to me another family member….a Kny/MHA crossover oc of mine)

Hikaru: I don’t know but we should be quiet….

The portal reveals the other side to be in some sort of hideout with high advanced technology. Hikaru looks confused. A fifteen or sixteen looking boy walks out from the portal. The kid has dark brownish tan colored skin. He has a pair of cat ears and two cat tails but the end of the tails looks to be on fire but it is not at the same time. The color of the flames are blue. His hair is black with red highlights, which he has in a high ponytail with the hair being spiky and short with bangs on the side. The bangs and the hair coming out of the ponytail looked to be styled to bear resemblance to spider legs. His eyes seemed to be fiery blue.

Hikaru: His clothes look weird…

The dark skinned boy is wearing a dark purple hooded tactical jacket with neon red and neon blue flame patterns. Under it, he is wearing a black shirt with a neon red spider on a blue spider web pattern on the shirt. He also wears a pair of baggy sweatpants with pockets. He also wears a pair of black, red, and white sneakers. He has a spider neon sky blue web marking covering his left eye.

Boy: *looks around a bit* Dude…this looks awesome…time to go see how Nana’s lil bro looks like when he was just a kid.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks very confused* "Reiko whose this??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I don’t know…

The boy exits the room and walks into the room where Hikaru, Reiko, and Rui are in. He looks at the three.

Boy: Woah….that time portal worked! I’m back in the Taīsho Period! *looks at Reiko and mumbles* So that’s my pops’ mom….. *looks at Rui* And that’s….pops’ uncle….

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

*Rui looks at Reiko confused*

[spitfire759]

Boy: Oh! Yeah! The name’s Taīyo. Taīyo Kaefurea. I’m from the future where everything is more advanced. *points at Reiko* You’re my pops’ ma.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Okay??" *hes confused, last he checked not many demons could have kids let alone any that were completely human*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: I get it now! Yōkai demons can reproduce.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Eh? Okay???"

[spitfire759]

Reiko: Apparently. I’m a yokai demon.

Taīyo: Yup *pops the p*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Just curious what did you mean when you said "just a kid" in i guess referring to me?" *he asks curiously*

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Yeah. Back in my time, you looked like you’re the same age as me.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I see...i guess that means I inevitably figure out the whole changing what age i appear to be thing..." *he hums curiously*

(I low key have a theory that demon slayer, tokyo ghoul, deathnote and i guess mha now aee connected to eachother in some way)

[spitfire759]

(Fr)

Taīyo: *smiled as he then gave Rui head pats*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

(Fr fr)

*Rui happily accepted the head-pats though it was a bit odd to be receiving them from his great-nephew and smiles up at him*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: So Taīyo. Who’s the grandpa?

Taīyo: Oh? Gramps? He went by the name of Kasai

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Ha! I knew it Tsuki owes me five yen now" *Rui cackled triumphantly and mischievously*

[spitfire759]

Reiko: You were betting?!

Taīyo laughed finding Rui’s reaction being cute. A shamisen sound was heard as the five (Rui, Reiko, Taīyo, Tsukikage, and Hikaru) were teleported to where Tsuki is.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Maaaaaybe, WOAH" *Rui stumbles slightly*

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

(Soooo Mine's ability isnt the musical teleportation like nakime's its more like the shenanigans that happen in the movie Little Monsters with fred savage and howie mandel)

"Hmmmm???" *You all find yourselves somehow teleported into Tsuki's somewhat crowded room in her adoptive mother's mountain halls where moments ago she had been sleeping soundly but as she wakes up she sits up in her nest of blankets, pillows and plushies* "whas goin on??" *she asks sleepily rubbing her eyes*

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"No idea Tsuki" *He semi-explains as he looks around*

[spitfire759]

(Ok)

Reiko: Tsuki, this is Taīyo. He claims to be from the future.

Taīyo: Sup. I’m *points at Reiko* her grandson.

[wildfire317s-oc-box]

"Hello....?" *Tsuki looks very confused as well as still sleepy* "what in the magic time shenanigans....?" *she mumbles to herself wondering if she was dreaming and subtly pinches herself and upon feeling her pinch herself realizes shes in fact awake* "what time is it??"

[spitfire759]

Reiko shrugs

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"I dunno but i need a nap so scoot over please" *he curls up next to Tsuki and quickly doses off*

[spitfire759]

Two hours later

Rui woke up to the sound of arguing as he saw Taīyo having an argument with someone. He is arguing with a boy with long silvery white hair tied in a low ponytail with the ends looking feather like and the tips being silver gold. He wears a black cropped jacket with what looked like purple outlines of movie reels from the shoulder down the front. Under the jacket, the boy wears a red shirt with an ink dripping pattern on the shirt specifically around the collar of the t-shirt. He wears a pair of black baggy pants with a pair of black sneakers. He has a feather tail that bears resemblance to a male peafowl but the length is about four inches above the ground. He basically bears resemblance to Douma but his personality is different from Douma’s.

Taīyo: Yukio, I know you want to know who you used to be but you gotta chill.

Yukio: I know, Taī! But I had been getting constant night terrors about me LITERALLY eating women and getting the sensation of them tasting delicious. It disgusts me! Not only that. Blood everywhere on the floor. Skulls. I can’t handle it! I don’t want to lose my sanity because I have a crush on our friend Kimiko Chisaki!

Taīyo: No way! You like her?! Man! Good luck with Kumiko because she ain’t easy to get consent.

*Rui grumbles quietly as he covers his head with one pillow, reaches over to the side, grabs another pillow and flings it in the general direction of the loud voices* "to freaking loud......"

Taīyo: Sorry, Uncle!

*he sits up and looks around, Tsuki must have been out and about as he couldn't see her. He sleepily trotted over with a large blanket draped over his small form* "what are you even shouting about anyway?"

[spitfire759]

Taīyo: Well, this guy *gestures to Yukio* came out of the portal that I came out of, because he had been having night terrors about his past life and wants to find out about who he used to be.

Yukio: And if I don’t find out who I used to be I will soon lose my sanity and I don’t want to lose my sanity.

[rui-ayaki-lower5]

"Hm.....probably douma...." *he murmurs sleepily*

[spitfire759]

Yukio: Duobwa?
