UNDER EDITING - Blood Intake - Role Swap

V - ᴅᴘᴏᴠ

Third Person POV

"The... That's my..." he stares at his hand in horror as he sees that it was covered in blood of the people that he just killed. He tried to wipe it off with his haori but it was all for nothing, what he did could never be fixed.

He can't bring them back to life. And worse of all, it was his own family that he killed. "Wha... why did I do this??" Tears made of blood roll down his face as it dropped down to his already stained haori that he had just unequipped.

"My family... I killed my own family!" He breaks down in tears, forcing himself to lift his arms as he started hitting his own body with his clenched fist attempting to punish himself from doing such an unforgiving thing. "You... You don't deserve to live! Die... just Die!"

Using his sharp nails, he attempted to rip his skin off.

Using his built up arms he tried to rip himself apart.

He even tried to jump off a cliff.

But it was all for nothing, his body doesn't want to end itself. It kept on regenerating and healing on its own will.

"You should learn to accept yourself. You should accept that you're now a demon." The demon lord suddenly appeared nearby as he walked closer to the boy. Using his cold pale hands he lifted the face of Tanjiro to look at him."Received blood that is too little, yet you're different. You may even make it as a blood moon."

He grinds his teeth upon seeing the man once again. "You! You must be the one responsible for all of this!" A tick mark appeared on the demon lord's face. Such a disrespectful brat.

"How ungrateful, I've made you stronger than your pathetic human self." He threw Tanjiro off a cliff as the young child accepted his faith hoping that it all just ended.

As expected, he landed and broke a few bones. Yet he isn't dead. He regenerated in a blink of an eye. "I'll remind you that you've killed them with your own hands, don't blame your sin on me!" The demon lord suddenly appeared as he held the throat of Tanjiro pinning him in the ground.

"What do you want from me! Just kill me already!" Despite how disobedient the newly turned demon is, he couldn't help himself but to not kill the young child. Something about him is different, he just turned, yet his regeneration is as of a blood moon, no... his regeneration abilities may have even surpassed them.

Using his nails, he forcefully gave him his blood. He decided, that the young child wouldn't have any other choice but to obey him and be his follower. Being exposed to more of his blood, he slowly lost his consciousness, his sight got blurry as his muscles tensed as he could no longer move it. Everything ended up in pitch black.

"Muzan sama, I've never seen you this merciful." Another voice rose from the tree as it grinned. "His earrings. It's the same as that monster. He'll be the key for me to conquer the sun." An instrument strung as they got teleported out of the scene.

As the young boy finally gains back his consciousness, a demon rushed to tell the demon lord. "Muzan sama, it appears that the young boy regained his consciousness."

The demon lord who was apparently waiting patiently teleported to the same room the young kamado was in. Him alongside his table of potions which he was using to experiment all sorts of things appeared in the room. "Tasuku."

The young boy stared at the demon lord confused. "Who are you?" He asked bravely yet with innocence as it seems like he hasn't met him before.

"Ne... Ne... Tasuku kun.. don't you remember Muzan sama? The one who took you in and treated you as his own child?" The rainbow eyed demon shook his whole body as he never attempted to stop him.

"Tasuku.... Is that my name?"

A smirk appeared on the face of the demons in the room as they finally confirmed. He really did lose his memories from the trauma of killing his own family. "You usually called Muzan sama, Otousan. I can't believe you've forgotten him."

"Otou....san...?" Somehow saying those words to this man does not ring a bell. It's as if these words were stranger to him, it doesn't mean anything.

"Those filthy demon slayers attacked you, you were a tick away from disappearing from this world. You're lucky I Douma is able to save you." He grinned as it soon turned into laughter as his voice echoed around the room.

The demon lord summons uppermoon two to the infinity castle after the king of demons as the biwa woman strung her instrument instantly teleporting the rainbow eyed demon to the fortress.

"Ne..ne... Muzan sama... In what way can I serve you tonight?"

"There's a child that I want you to keep an eye on. A demon with a unique set of earrings." He spoke as he was fixing a set of book that he just previously read.

"My my, were you talking about the same earrings that a certain demon slayer who almost beheaded you was wearing?" Those were the words that came out of his mouth without thinking of consequences once he utter it.

In a blink of an eye, no even faster than that. The once peaceful head that was leaning on it's own shoulders was now in the hand of the same demon king. "You're lucky you are of use to me. If not, you shall decrease into ashes by now."

"I am indeed lucky, Muzan sama. To think of the master I serve is now holding my head, I can't think of any other situation that would surpass the pleasure of this moment!" The demon king then lets go of the head making it bounce in the wooden floor and eventually rolls staining the once clean floor with it's blood.

"So mean! Hmmp!" Was it disgust that drove the demon king to throw the head away? Was this unpredictable demon having an even crazier and worser personality than the reputation of their kind?

"I shall leave him under your care. Train him on how to be a demon." Those were the last words he said before the demon king was teleported back into his original location leaving the rainbow eye in the fortress alone with the Biwa woman.

Wow. I can't believe that it's already been a year or even longer since I rewrote Chapter 4. Well here we go, I hope the next one would be rewritten sooner!

Btw, it's just now that I've discovered that wattpad has it's own font feature. The button has been sitting on the top of my keyboard all this time! I can't believe I needed to download a different app for fonts in the past that may have caused multiple people to see the speaking sentences as a box! Well then, three years later and I finally discovered that, congratulations to me I guess.
