Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 3 Slay 7

2 years later...2023
As time goes by, Tanjiro works and feed as per usual with Muzan on his side.
Relationship grew amongst the people in the office. Tanjiro became one of the office workers there.
Meeting several clients a day....
And best of all, having to bond with Nezuko, even though Nezuko doesn't fully remember him. But they are best friends and Tanjiro is happy about it. Regarding the case Tanjiro is working on, Muzan have never spoken or given Tanjiro a chance to get in to the triad.

Nezuko settles on her desk typing out a series of text, her job is a marketing spy. Her job is to figure out what the demon slayer corps are doing. As she typed, a knock is heard behind her. She turns around and notice Tanjiro is standing there with two cups of coffee. He settles beside her watching her do her work while he drinks. "So what did you find out today?" Tanjiro asked, Nezuko turns the computer screen to him and he looks at it. "Demon Slayers, creating a fake antidote?" Tanjiro reads the article. Nezuko turns the screen back to her and continue to type as she says "A news company came up with this. Management have a liking to it, they want me to search it up." Tanjiro settles there.....slightly worried.... "Trust me. Technology right now is super advanced compared to the 1910s. We have the cure to turn you back into a human. So when you get back, we will cure you." His supervisor's voice came through him....

"Nezuko, how do you know if this article is authentic?" Tanjiro asked, to which Nezuko says "Well, we look at who is the one who posted this, then we look at the credentials. Like who they interviewed, occupation of that interviewee's. Etc. So far, basing of off this article it seems that it's true. It marked all my boxes." Tanjiro bits his lips.....if this is true....he maybe lied too by his supervisor...He leaves the room and heads to the bathroom where he contacted his supervisor, they met in a back alley. Tanjiro waited for his supervisor's arrival. Anxious. Then here comes the supervisor, at first all we could see is the silhouette of his supervisor, but as he comes closer, the moonlight shines on his face, revealing who his supervisor truly is. It's Giyu!

They had their conversation...

Giyu: What is it?

Tanjiro: This article that was posted. Fake cure? Is this true?

Giyu: What does it affect you?

Tanjiro: Affect me? When I started this mission, you told me that Demon Slayer have a cure to cure us!

Giyu: *grins* who do you think you are? You want a cure and you will get a cure? Don't be childish Tanjiro. You are serving the government. Your sacrifices will be heard off.

Tanjiro: No! You forced me to it! You took my life away and turned me into a monster! You lied to me! There are no cure! You wanted me dead!

Giyu:..Of cause..You will not be able to turn back the moment you feed. So even if we have the cure, it will be no use. You are just too innocent to think we have a cure. Continue to work on the mission if you want your name to be up high and not just an usual demon.

Giyu leaves. Tanjiro watches, fist clinching. "That's why I hated you. Even in my previous lives." Tanjiro said.

Tanjiro in a bar, drinking alcohol. He sighs, grabbing his glass bottle tightly. "How dare he...he made me do it. I had no rights to say no." Tanjiro thought to himself. "Kill him." Tanjiro looks around...Voices in my head, my urges..they constantly hunts him. Tanjiro grins as he thought about the pain of being lied too and he cries. A hand placed on Tanjiro's back, consoling him. He turns his head to see who it is... it's Muzan. "Why are you crying?" Muzan asked as he sits besides him. Tanjiro looks away, before walking away from him. He exits the bar, Muzan follows. Tanjiro staggers down the street. Muzan watches behind. Tanjiro cries. "I hated having to feed...I hate that I have a facade to cover...I hate that I was lied into doing it. Why...why me..." Tanjiro said to himself.

Tanjiro walks to a port, he looks at the scenery as Muzan stood behind silently watching. A few hours of looking at the rushing waves, something changed..."Babe." Tanjiro called, turning his around to Muzan, who's eyes lit up and comes over to Tanjiro. Back hugging him. They cuddle abit. "It's been a while since you called be Babe." Muzan said as he grins. Tanjiro didn't react for a moment before turning his body around. "Babe. I have been your secretary for the longest time...I want to change...I don't want to be a secretary anymore. I want to have what you have. I want to do what you do. I want no one to look down on me. I want everyone to fear me!" Tanjjro states with his red Ruby eyes shinning brightly. The willingness to change. "Why? Who looked down on you?" Muzan asked. Tanjiro look away and reply "It doesn't matter. I just want to be the one that makes people do my bitting. It's time." He goes to the railings and watch the rushing waves.

Muzan back hug Tanjiro once more. Seemingly agreeing to it. "Okay, let me just handle a few issues and I will see what I can do for you. My love." Muzan states. Tanjiro grabs hold of Muzan's arms. Stroking it.Tanjiro gives an angered gaze towards the sea...

Days gone by, Tanjiro settles on the chair, Muzan sits in front of him. Tanjiro playing with his fingers, tapping on the table. "Well. I remove you from the secretary job, you and I. We can have shares to the company, I know that I can trust you with it." Muzan states. Tanjiro looks away in a serious look, processing slowly what he just heard. "Now...when you have my shares, we have some other stuff that I would need to take care off. So you have to help me." Muzan stated. Tanjiro turns back, looking at Muzan as Tanjiro touches Muzan's hands.

"For the things you have given me....you will be the only one who can ask me for help. Consider this a privilege. Babe." Tanjiro states. Muzan smirks, pulling Tanjiro around the table to him. Making Tanjiro sit on his lap. "Of cause. I know you have some reasons as to why you would want this, but I trust that you will make our business flourish. Then you and I will be the Kings of demons." Muzan whispers into Tanjiro ears.

Tanjiro grins. "Give me a piece of everything my love. I will make sure that everyone knows our name." Tanjiro states.
