Taken (muzan x reader)

12. Escape and capture

I hit the ground harder than I would have liked. The cold air struck me just as hard as the ground did. I was no longer in the infinity castle. I was...in an alley?

My surroundings were unfamiliar and to be quite frank I didn't even know what city I was in. There were loud noises and light at the end of the alley. I saw people, hundreds of people walking by all chattering to each other. So I was in a city then.

Apparently time was slightly different outside because it was night again.

I decided I had sat on the dirty ground long enough. I didn't know if I would be followed so I kind of speed walked towards the bustling crowds of people. I entered the commotion and was then fully hit by the busyness of it all. The sounds, smells and sights were all very extravagant.

Growing up in a small little village had its perks, but it truly was nothing compared to this. It was amazing. Even though I had no idea where I was, I still felt the need to move.

I rushed into the crowd and got lost in the colour. I was pushed forward and just kept stumbling on.

I wasn't sure where I was going I just knew I had to get away. I didn't know when Muzan would come looking for me. I didn't want him to catch me. I was going to find my way out of whatever city I was in and I was going to go back home and continue on with my life.

I walked for what felt like a long time before I was suddenly tugged back.

My arm was twisted behind my back and I was held in front of someone.

Hot breath fanned my shoulder and ear.

"Found you"

"Let me go"

"I've told you. You're mine..."

He paused.

"Do you know who I am y/n? I am the demon king. Do you really think you could get away from me?"

"You know I thought about that. I just didn't care."

"Oh, brave now are we."

He spun me around and pulled me close so I was inches away from his face. It was funny how he didn't seem to care that there were thousands of people around us right now. Not that they were paying us any attention.

His red eyes glowed bright. I couldn't help but swoon a little bit at the sight of him. He really was magnificent.

Then completely out of character, he kissed me. A deep kiss full of passion.

My eyes shot open wide. I was surprised to say the least.

My mind flashed back to the months he visited our house. Those were the happiest months of my life. Before I knew about him. He was so sweet and caring. He made me feel happy.

My arms wrapped around his neck and I felt myself accidentally enjoying the kiss. I knew I wasn't supposed to, but at this point he had already broken through my barrier of trying to hate him. He knew I liked him. Not the things he did of course, but him.

He squeezed my waist before letting me go. He had a look in his eye that said there were other thoughts taking control. He nodded at me. He wanted me to walk ahead of him. I obeyed.

He followed behind me not to close but close enough. I turned around to look at him again when I saw that there was a boy. He was younger than me and wore hanafuda earrings.

He bore a look of absolute hatred and there was fire in his eyes. He had a hand on Muzans shoulder and was clearly furious. I stopped walking and rushed over to Muzan and grabbed his arm.
