Taken (muzan x reader)

16. Back home?

We were riding in a carriage in what looked like the deep of the forest. Dense trees were on all sides. To my right sat Muzan, dressed in a black suit and his white hat. His black locks looked ever so soft today. He looked out the window to his own right and observed the view.

I saw something flash by quick. Grabbing Muzans arm I asked him in a scared tone:

"What was that?"

He leaned over and in my ear said his response in a cool tone.

"Demons"

"Why are they here?"

"To make sure we get there safely, without anyone trailing."

By 'there', he meant the mansion up in the mountains which he happened to own. Along with his infinity castle he also owned a lovely property a ways off from the main city, secluded and safe. I really still wasn't sure where he acquired the money for such things but I was not about to ask at he moment.

"What's it like?"

"You'll see in just a moment, we're almost there."

About 5 minutes later we rounded a corner and I laid eyes upon the most beautiful stone mansion I had ever seen. Not that I really had anything to compare it to, even so I still thought it was gorgeous.

"You're shitting me."

"Language! Is that really how a young lady should talk?"

"It's how a young lady should talk if she's just been told she's going to be living in the biggest house she's ever seen."

"You prove a fair point. To answer that question no I am not 'shitting' you; this is my other home."

"It's absolutely amazing."

"Why thank you."

We pulled up to the front doors and I exited the carriage myself, not caring for the formalities at the moment. Muzan got out behind me and followed slowly after me. I was sort of in a rush to look around.

I walked up to the large front doors and they swung open seemingly on their own. I took a few steps inside to realize that there were indeed people inside who had opened the doors. Two men. Two human men.

This was going in a direction I didn't expect. One thing I knew is that Muzan brought me here so he could keep a better watch on me. I'm not surprised though. The city was a big place and after running into that young demon slayer boy, i'd be cautious too.

Muzan came up beside me and placed a hand on the small of my back guiding me into the house with a warm smile. We toured around the big estate and like I had guessed, it was amazing. He really was lucky.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes it's incredible."

"It's yours now."

"Well i'm glad, it's going to be fun here."

"Are you hungry love? I can get the butlers to prepare you something."

"No i'm alright...actually I wanted to ask you about that."

"Yes?"

We walked into a door way for a little more privacy. It was an elegant bedroom, decorated much like the rest of the house. A very victorian look. It's doesn't appear to be anything like what the outside looks like.

"The butlers are human."

"Yes and what about that."

"Well you know I would have figured you'd get demons to work at your house."

"As a person who is highly wanted by pretty much every demon slayer, I have to maintain a cover, and having human staff makes it look good."

Then I clued in.

"I guess having a human wife would look good too now wouldn't it?"

"Darling you know I love you. That's not how this is."

Not that I was his wife yet, even though he said he'd make me mine-against my will of course, but I still got a little hurt thinking that he was just using me. After all that's happened it would be saddening if all this was just for his cover to look more human.

"Yeah"

I walked to the window and looked out over the forest that lay below. As I looked closer I saw something that looked vaguely familiar. Off in the distance I saw mountain ranges and...wisteria trees?
WISTERIA TREES. This couldn't be. Was that my home? I made sure not to look too long so Muzan wouldn't think that I'd found out.

He must know that the valley was this close. He didn't live far. Only about several kilometres.

Now that I think about it it makes sense. He would visit, which meant he lived close, but I didn't even think that this would be the place.

I made a mental note that i'd escape one day and go back to the valley, id have to return of course or it meant my family's heads.

"Come here."

I walked over to him and stood close as he ordered.

"I have some things I have to do outside of here but I will be back later. I want you to promise me you will not leave."

"I promise"

That was a bit of a stretch. I was most definitely going to leave as soon as his car departed from here. He cant read my mind so he'll just have to trust me.
