Me: pokes head out of void and yeets a crumpled piece of paper to readers, labelled 'chapter 12'

*sinks back into depression void afterwards*

——————————-

{third Person POV}

"STOP! LEAVE TANJIRO AND TAKE ME!" Rengoku screamed through gritted teeth, clutching his torn ankle while reaching out a shaky hand to grab his sword.

Douma smirked devilishly and swung his head around to face the flame pillar "you see, master didn't want you" he replied in a sing song voice, kicking the box which contained Nezuko next to him.

"Hm? What's in here?" He wondered, hearing a slight shuffling inside.

Shrugging his shoulders the upper moon decided it wasn't any of his worries and entered a portal made by Nakime

"Till next time!" Douma waved, disappearing through the portal with an unconscious Tanjiro slung under his arm.

He smiled to himself and placed the boy down in rather dark looking place. The demon felt happy about actually completing the job, and would most likely be rewarded with more of Muzan's blood as a result.

Grinning with satisfaction, Douma kneeled next to Tanjiro and brushed a strand of dark hair from his delicate features; Tanjiro did in fact look like a literal angel.

Beautiful long eyelashes casted a small shadow upon his round plump cheeks, silky medium long dark red hair laid messily on his forehead.

He just looked so pure.

Douma only wished he could have Tanjiro to himself but wouldn't dare go against Muzan. That was just a big no.

"Step away from the boy" a voice sounded from amidst the shadows, scaring the living daylights out of Douma.

He immediately sprung back and took a kneeling position with his head bowed "hello Muzan-sama" Douma greeted, eyes looking at the floor still.

"I see you've managed to get the boy for me" Muzan spoke, a hint of satisfaction present in his voice; showing he was happy with the ordeal.

"Yes master, he was going for a walk with the flame pillar. That's when I took him" he informed, not daring to look up.

"You can rise" Muzan stated, stepping out of the shadows to walk near the other demon. Douma slowly stood up and made eye contact with his superior, faltering a little under his malevolent gaze.

"You did well. Here" Muzan complimented, dragging his nail across his arm and letting it drip in a vile before chucking it to Doma.

The deamon lit up at the sight of the blood and bowed "thank you Master" Douma grinned, trying to contain his happiness.

"You can leave" Muzan said simply and shooed the other away, wanting to be alone with the one whom caught his eye.

With that, the upper moon seemingly disappeared. Probably out to reek havoc and eat some more humans, the norm really. Perhaps snack on some new cult members?..

Muzan's plum red eyes shon in the dimly lit surroundings as he lustfully scanned Tanjiro's body. He grinned at his delicate state and bend down to pick up the boy, holding him bridal style while doing so.

—————————————

"I'm home dear" Muzan greeted his wife, entering the front door still with Tanjiro in his arms.

"Hel- oh my! Who's he?!" His wife exclaimed, placing a hand upon Tanjiro's head to check his temperature. Muzan glared at the contact and turned away from her.

He never loved that women, nor the child. It was simply a facade to help him disguise his demon identity.

"I found him on the side of the road passed out, he didn't look like he had a family so he'll be staying in our spare room" Muzan lied, walking upstairs with the boy.

The lady smiled sympathetically and went to go tend to their daughter, who sat reading a book in the living room.

Muzan opened the door which was quite a excluded room away from all others, making it perfect if Tanjiro were to yell or make too much noice; it wouldn't be heard elsewhere.

Me smiled to himself and carefully placed him down on a single bed. Next the Demon king took his wrists and chained them to the sides, making him partially immobile except for the boy's lower half.

Once finished, he softly trailed his sharp nail down the side of Tanjiro's face "so venerable... and too Naive" Muzan whispered to himself while gripping the boy's face with his hand, making his lips pout and cheeks squished cutely.

Tanjiro's soft pink lips quivered as he took steady breaths in his unconscious state.

"Your going to be fun."

Rengoku stumbled through the gates with Nezuko on his back and holding his ankle with his hand. He was barely walking and was loosing a lot of blood through the deep wound in his back.

He knew Nezuko was important to Tanjiro so he couldn't just leave her. However, he was in so much pain, the world was spinning around him with every step.

Not to mention the fact, Tanjiro was literally just kidnapped by one of the highest demons after Kokushibou and Muzan of course.

"H-HELP!" Kyojuro spluttered, coughing up blood and collapsing on the dusty floor. He breathed heavily as Giyuu was the first to spot him and rush to his aid.

The water pillar immediately put pressure on Rengoku's back wound and put him in a position where he wouldn't choke on his own blood "tell me what happened" Giyuu asked as calm as possible.

"Tanjiro, he took Tanjiro..." Rengoku wheezed right before passing out, leaving Giyuu a panicked mess.
