{third POV}

"You'll feel so much better Tanjiro" Muzan grinned, snapping his fingers to make a small human child appear before him. She had reddish-brown hair with shining lavender eyes, complimented with a floral themed Kimono.

She looked terrified.

And she was loosing blood from a gash on her arm Muzan had made to tempt Tanjiro.

The boy's slitted eyes vibrated with need, his mouth drooling even more at the sight "don't hold yourself back." Muzan lured, forcing the girl to take a step closer to Tanjiro.

"Where. Is. Nezuko" Tanjiro forced out through clenched teeth, never straying his eyes from the girl's blood.

"If you eat this human, I'll let your sister go" he stated, snapping his fingers once more; making Nakime strum her Biwa and change the surroundings.

The three shifted to a dark stuffy room. Dust circulating the air as the rattling of chains caught Tanjiro's attention.

"Nezuko!" He yelled, sprinting up to the iron bars where his sister sat chained on the floor. He desperately reached his arms through and attempted to get a hold of her but the bars were simply too thick and she sat far away.

"Nezuko! I'm here! Nezu-" Muzan stopped his screaming when he grabbed Tanjiro by the back of his neck; lifting him off the floor and shoving the boy's face next to the bleeding girl.

"Eat her and Nezuko will be free!" He yelled, making the girl cower against the wall in fear; tears welling in her soft lavender eyes.

Tanjiro gave in.

His whole body trembled in Muzan's hold, opening his mouth and widely as his teeth got dangerously close to the child's skin. Muzan's smirk grew with satisfaction as he watched the scene play out.

"I WANNA GO HOME! PLEASE!" The child is wailed, scrunching her vivid eyes in fear as she shrunk away from Tanjiro's teeth.

He froze.

'No no... what am I doing?!' Tanjiro thought in a panic, regaining a sense of his old self at hearing her desperate cries for her life.

Tanjiro growled once more, picking up his sword which laid at his feet and swinging it around to free Muzan's hold on his neck.

Muzan jumped back with ease, glaring at Tanjiro as he moved his body to protect the terrified child; sword pointing directly at the demon's neck.

"Your weak Tanjiro. You don't stand a chance against me without flesh" he hissed, trying to work his way into Tanjiro's mind.

"I don't want to kill you"

"Well i can't say the same for you" Tanjiro growled
back; eyes vibrating with rage as he glanced at Nezuko. Her wrists were chained to the wall along with a metal collar keeping her to the floor so she couldn't stand.

Tanjiro lunged for the demon, using sun breathing to land a hit on his arm. Muzan swerved narrowly to the right, surprised at the boy's speed and accuracy.

Sweeping his leg across the floor, Tanjiro tripped up the demon and clawed Muzan's cheek; narrowly missing his eye as the male sprung off the floor.

"You're fast..." Muzan smiled sinisterly, letting the deep claw marks in his face heal almost instantly.

Taniiro ignored his words once again and leapt onto the male with his teeth barred, ripping into his shoulder as Muzan whacked him away; making him rip of a piece of flesh in the process.
