"Back" - Muzan

Oh my god, it's finally a first person POV. Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS (🎅🎄), AND HAPPY HANUKKAH (🕎(is there a dreidel emoji?)) TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE HANUKKAH!!!! YASSSSS!!!!

It has been two days since I have given the order to retrieve Tanjiro, but it seemed that they had not made any progress within the time I gave them.

"You were to return Tanjiro to me by today, but I still don't see him, could it be that he is hiding from me?" I narrow my eyes on them. "Or have you not taken him yet?"

"No! No! Master we have him, but we hid him so that he hashiras can't find him!" one of the demons who knelt before me cried.

"Is that so."

"Yes! We will return him to you tomorrow, because the hideout is very far, and we won't be able to make it by tomorrow!" The other tried to cover.

"Lies. Who gave you pawns the power to lie to me, in my face?" I shot them a menacing glare.

"No! Master Muzan! We are sorry! Please give us one more day to get Tanjiro! All of the slayer corps are constantly surrounding him, so we couldn't!" They begged for mercy.

"And what makes you think that the situation will change?" I challenged. "You are all kizukis, the lower moons, which I have given my precious blood to, yet what do you do? You prove yourselves unworthy."

"No!-"

"No? You are opposing me? The great Muzan?"

"That's not-" I snapped their necks before they could finish their sentences.

"Really. People these days are so useless. Now I've got to find a loose wolf, and find new lower moons." I sigh and snap my fingers.

I quickly arrived in the butterfly mansion, which Tanjiro was staying in, and walked to the resident in which he sleeping in. Tanjiro seemed to have not noticed me as I walked in, and kept on staring a the ground, but the others certainly did notice, and ran to protect Tanjiro.

"Now now, don't be so hasty. I only came to pick up a dog I lost." I smiled at their determination to keep Tanjiro to themselves.

"No. Tanjiro is our friend, and we will protect him to the end." A very blonde haired boy replied.

I chuckled. "You hear that Tanjiro? It seems your friends really care about you. You are a very lucky guy you know."

No response.

"Well, let's go Tanjiro, we have some catching up to do." I get a small twitch in response. "Come on Tanjiro, I know you hear me, let's go home."

"Like hell that's home!" A guy wearing a boar hat and no shirt shrieks.

"Come home Tanjiro." I extended my arm.

"Like hell he's going with you!" Yellow haired exclaimed.

"Tanjiro. Home. Now." I said.

Tanjiro lowered his head, but followed as Muzan instructed.

"Well that was easier than I anticipated." Muzan smirked.

"Tanjiro!" The others were shocked.

"Eh, whatever. Let's go, you're being good today, so I'll give you a treat." I patted his head, and brought his head on my shoulder, and vanished.
