A Troublesome Moment

The Infinity Castle was always a place that rarely any humans would be graced to see even once in their short lifetimes. Oh how he reveled in that fact and the fact that HE had such high privileges even amongst other demons. And why shouldn't he be proud? He had everything going good in his life right now.

He bested any challenger, earning him the title of Upper Moon One. Earning him a higher rank. He was the one who could order all other lower moons. He obtained a powerful position all due to skill. Every lower person bowed to his strength. He had a high position. Respect. Power. Money. Any luxury at a snap of his fingers. What more could he ask for? 

...Well maybe a break would be nice. 

Perhaps his (stubbornness and ego-) pride maybe(definitely-) clouded his judgement in one too many situations. But he was perfectly justified in his actions! ... Unfortunately the higher ups, specifically Kokushibo, had deemed him too immature for the situation and thus temporary stripped him from his rank in every way except in name until he proved himself actually worthy of it or until Kokushibo officially removed him from the Kizuki as a whole. So far he was lucky. He'd was only on final strike instead of completely being kicked, so until then he had to bite his tongue and keep his head lowered until he was in the clear...

Or until he graduated from this damned school!

Many looks were given to the Upper Moon as he stomped down the path towards a large menagerie of buildings together circling and constantly rotating. The school all demon children attended in this hellscape. However it wasn't the fact that a Kizuki Lord was present. It was the fact that he was a Kizuki Lord with a child walking behind him like a duckling. It was fucking embarrassing!! He didn't want to take him with him but he had his hands tied with being ordered by Akaza. Considering how the strong Upper Moon thrashed Sekido around like a ragdoll, it had been better to just agree to escort the younger demon and avoid causing trouble that might bring him more trouble, especially if Kokushibo caught wind of him 'disrespecting the ranks' again. Many other parents and other children looked on in silent surprise or awe at the sight of him leading a child to school. He has to get out of here as soon as possible. Disappear into the background as soon as he could. 

"You're grounding your teeth again."

In an instant he stopped and whipped around to face the younger demon with a look of barely held back annoyance. 

"Silence you little worm! You're only in my presence because it was ordered. Otherwise I wouldn't be bothered to be seen with a weakling such as yourself."

Unsurprisingly the younger, paler demon wasn't affected in the slightest by his demeanor. As much as he didn't want to be bothered by him, he could admit that the younger demon was wise beyond his years. Very level headed, and not bothersome most of the time as he remained quiet unless spoken to or when he decided to. If he hadn't chosen to purposely go against him then he might've said that he wouldn't mind if he was around but he only chose to point out (his flaws-) the obvious.

"You shouldn't talk like that when you know who my father is. It's a miracle you're even alive let alone considered a Kizuki at all," he spoke without even looking up at the webs he fiddled, "It's a wonder how you got in at all."
