Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 3 Slay 4

2 hours ago before that happened...

Muzan lay Tanjiro on the bed. He settles beside him. Running his fingers through Tanjiro's hair. "I made you suffer....Didn't I?...Is it selfish of me to bring back my love?...I just want him back..."Muzan thought to himself. Laying his head on to Tanjiro's hands. Sobbing. "Decades....I lost you....Now you are here...is it selfish....If I feel that it isn't...why do I feel so bad...." Muzan said...Then someone knocks on the door,Muzan turns and notice that is Nakime. Nakime brought him out and talk to him..

"Basing on the symptoms you stated my lord...it seems that this is something about the will to replace each other. Lord Kamado's body is now inhabited with three personalities. One is the current 2021 year Tanjiro, the other is the demon self, you, my lord created back in 1912, that demon is also accompanied by Zankoku, who seems to be sleeping as far as I can see. The demon self was locked away as Tanjiro reincarnated..but with your blood, he awakens once more." Nakimem states.

In the bedroom...Tanjiro's hands grab the bedsheets in pain. Veins start to show, his head swings left and right. Then after some vast movements, he stops...he jerks a little...before opening his eyes. His red irises roll backwards. His cheeks start to crack, his mouth opens wider..

Currently...

"Oh I love to have some fun." Tanjiro said. He pounds on to Muzan with all four, Muzan in a swift movement takes a step away and grabs hold of Tanjiro and kicks him. Sending him out of the field. "How do I wake him up?" Muzan asked. Nakime answers "Stab him in the heart. He will stop, at the same time, there is a chance that all of the personalities will be fused with each other..It's all about his will..." Muzan looks at Nakime. It didn't feel right for him...but if this is the only way...So be it.

Muzan disappears. At this time, Crazy Tanjiro stands up, he roars. "Oh this world, it feels so different." crazy Tanjiro says. Muzan appears. Crazy Tanjiro looks at Muzan, drooling. "Thank you for throwing me out of the field. How interesting? Tell me darling...can I kill you once more?" Tanjiro said.

Muzan giggles before he replies "Let me get you first." Muzan rushes towards Tanjiro with his tail, Tanjiro jumps away laughing. Skeleton tails appears striking the ground where Muzan is standing. Muzan jumps up into the air, he spins. As he spins, he points his palms at Tanjiro, mouths open from his palms and it spits out a monstrous arm going forward at the speed of light, but it has no match for Tanjiro. Tanjiro appears behind Muzan and strikes him. Causing Muzan to crash land on to the ground with a loud thud.

Tanjiro lands on the ground. Walking towards Muzan "Haha! So nice...Such a good fight."Tanjiro said. Muzan stands up, he kneels to the ground, Tanjiro stops on his feet. "Lord Zankoku..ha...It was a very nice fight." Muzan states, which causes Demon Tanjiro to leak a sly smile. Muzan looks down, bowing to him. Tanjiro turns away laughing as he says.. "So fun! So thrilling! This world...feels so fresh! Sadly...I'm not Zankoku!"

*blood splattets*

Tanjiro looks down and notice a skeleton tail pierced right into him. He looks up and Muzan is standing in front of him, Tanjiro vomits a little blood, he grabs the tail and tries to move it, but he couldn't. In the matter of few seconds...Tanjiro faints.

His vision goes dark, but when Tanjiro arise from his slumber, he sees himself in the dark abyss. His eyes are his usual black eyes..He walks around through the endless pit of darkness, looking for an exit...but no matter where he goes, there is still nothing but pitch black. Then, a blood pool forms, creating a bodily form. The blood subsides and eventually it turns into Tanjiro himself? Tanjiro goes closer...closer....closer....The body open his eyes its the red ruby demon eyes staring at himself. Tanjiro screams, taking a few steps back. "Who- Who are you!" Tanjiro asked. Demon Tanjiro smiles, before saying "I am you....Well at least I know I am."Demon Tanjiro started walking. "Today is the final fight, I will take over you! Replace you so that I can live." Demon Tanjiro walks in circles.

"No no no!" Tanjiro yells at Demon Tanjiro. Demon Tanjiro laughs, and it echoed loudly. "There are no powers here, just you and your little old fist. Fight me, let's see who would die to get the body." Demon Tanjiro taunts. Tanjiro screams before rushing over to Demon Tanjiro, swinging his fist left and right, while Demon Tanjiro dodge gracefully as he states "Haha, you see, your little emotional wreck right here, will be your demise." Demon Tanjiro jumps and does a spin kick and it sends Tanjiro a few meters away. Tanjiro crash lands on the ground, he staggers up, rubbing his arm, before going at Demon Tanjiro again.

Again.
Ha! Again!
You are nothing Tanjiro!

Bruises after bruises after bruises. Tanjro gets himself up weakly as he pants. He looks at his arms, those bruises...it hurts...but it jolted a memory in him....All the time and effort he ran, to get to his parent's house after hearing the explosion....The moment he got there, people were holding on to him, screaming for him not to enter...the will of wanting to know made Tanjiro strong as he pushes people away. Once freed, he opens the door to the mess of debris and....the charred bodies of his parents. He falls to the ground, crying. Why....Why...Why me! Why me! I...I need to live....I....NEED TO WIN! Tanjiro looks at Demon Tanjiro with pure hatred.

Then something happens, a weapon formed on his hands. A skeletal sword, he grabs tightly running over to Demon Tanjiro. With all his might! Demon Tanjiro held on to the incoming sword, but Tanjiro's will to live is too strong. It pierced through his body. Tanjiro looks up to see Demom Tanjiro smiling as blood flows out of his mouth.

"You....will come to a point.....where you will decide...Who you truly are...Your fate has been sealed, you have always been a demon...you should never be align with Humans...Ha...Hahaha"Demon Tanjiro stated. Tanjiro looks at him his eyes twitching, as though he tries to accept it...

Everything disappears...

*Tanjiro opens his eyes*

His black iris turns Red Ruby. He settles up on the bed, grabbing his stomach the moment he felt pain. He looks at it and realised there is a bandage around him. He looks at his fingers which is now vieny and with black sharp nails. His wound in his stomach starts to heal up quickly. He watches it heal... "I am truly...a demon now....What that guy said in my dream....Why did he say that....I came here because of that mission...because of my past...how can I not align with humans..." He asked himself.

"No matter the case. I will accomplish the mission to find out where those Moons are hiding!"
