Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 3 Slay 17

A man walks through the big door to see Zenitsu, who is one of the Hashiras at this point. The man enters and it's Tanjiro. They look at each other.

Tanjiro: One life ago, I was wondering where you were. You were supposed to serve me and now you went back to being a Hashira?

Zenitsu: Tanjiro...

Tanjiro: You are lucky that they didn't know that you were a demon. Enough talk. Why...Why do human trafficking for Muzan?

Zenitsu: You have to understand we are just like every other demons. What's wrong we are just helping the demons to feed. Don't act like you don't feed on humans too.

Tanjiro: Feed my ass. They are being experimented on. What did you do to those Demons?

Zenitsu: Our slayers needed training don't you think?

Tanjiro: How could you!

Zenitsu: What I did was right, it's just that you don't understand. If we do these, the two sides get stronger! You are too soft, Tanjiro. You..living for centuries, dying again and again. You are weak Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: What about Giyu? Is he a part of these?

Zenitsu: Him? ha, of cause. How does it feel, Tanjiro, to watch everyone from your past lives here? Must felt bad that you are not as strong as us. 

Tanjiro: You know...You are right, one thing about me is that I take friendships with high importance, but you taught me not to. 

Tanjiro turns around and heads back to the door, he stops and says 

Tanjiro: When things are done, I will come back and collect your remains. 

A skeletal tentacle appears from the ground and it pierced through Zenitsu's head. It starts to suck Zenitsu's blood, feeding itself.

...

Nezuko wakes up and finds herself on her own bed, flashes of memories playing in her mind, she thought to herself what was that about, those memories...It hurts her to think about it as though it is still fresh, even though it had happened years ago. She leaves her room and finds Yushiro is in the computer room alone, she settles beside him.

Yushiro: You okay?

Nezuko: Yes I am. Just...Can't believe that Tanjiro is an undercover. He lied to us.

Yushiro: In the beginning maybe, but at this point, I am sure he isn't now. He had reasons why he is going to stay now. 

Nezuko: You seem to put a lot of trust in Tanjiro huh?

Yushiro: Well, one thing is for sure, whatever he told you, is true. I know it's gonna sound weird but at one point you were...

Yushiro explains to Nezuko about the history between Tanjiro and Nezuko...

Tanjiro opens his eyes and he is hanging upside down, resting through the entire day. A growing pile of ash forms in front of Tanjiro. The Ash forms into Muichro, his eyes like Rengoku, slits can be seen in the eyes. He placed a foot forward and kneeled in front of Tanjiro while Tanjiro is still hanging upside down.

Tanjiro: It took me ages to gain control of your soul. You know..After Kokoshibo had consumed you. I gave you ample amount of my blood, not even Rengoku had a chance. So don't disappoint me.

Muichiro bows and disappears. Tanjiro lands back on the ground and adjust his clothing. He exits his room...

Yushiro and Nezuko settles in as Tanjiro enters the room. Tanjiro turns to Nezuko, you can see the sadness in his eyes. Nezuko turns away which breaks the mood.

Tanjiro: I got some information. Those slayers are taking demons and making them a literal 'Target Pratice' for new slayers.

Yushiro: This is wrong. We have lives too.

Tanjiro: Never expect that the two sides which were fighting among each other for live, now working together. The fate cannot be altered like that.

Yushiro: We have to do something.

That night, Nakime is in her room, everything is so quiet. Mist starts to form around her. Then "First Form: Hanging Sky Distant Mist" a figure approaches Nakime, the sword lands but it hits the ground, as Nakime had escaped. She appears behind him, with her Biwa she strikes it which sends a stroke towards him. "Third form: Demisting Blast" Muichro spun and it destroyed the stroke. He returns and goes on with his first form.

Nakime blocks the attacks and Muichiro disappears. Everything went quiet and then suddenly a hand stretches out trying to reach the back of Nakime's head. Nakime turns and grabs his arm and pushes Muichiro away. He flops to the ground and slowly settles up. Nakime sees the slit eyes thus she knows, its a reanimated body.

"Who are you? Show yourself." Nakime ordered. Muichiro settles up and his eyes turns blue, the blue blood flows out of his eyes. Muchiro grabs his sword, he rushes over towards her, now with a speed much more superior than what it was, but instead he directs his sword on the ground, causing Nakime to fall to the bottom floor.

Nakime looks up and Muichiro is standing on the upper floor looking down at her. Muichiro turns away and disappeared. The deed is done.

The next day, Nakime reports to Muzan about it as Tanjiro is laying on the sofa, just looking at his nails.

Muzan: What?! You didn't kill him?

Nakime: He stopped the attack and left the room.

Muzan: It must be those humans.

Tanjiro: Do you think those humans had gotten some demon blood to resurrect some hashiras?

Muzan: Possible. We need to make sure it won't happen again.

Tanjiro: I think it already did.

Tanjiro settles up from the sofa.

Tanjiro: When Yushiro was in prison. Some demons seen a rengoku lookalike.

Muzan hearing the word 'Yushiro' it got him to go over to Tanjiro. Tanjiro watches him as he comes closer. Tanjiro stands up and now they are face to face.

Muzan: Why didn't you inform me?

Tanjiro: Well. I didn't want to ruin your mood so.

Muzan turns to Nakime.

Muzan: It seems that those humans have been screwing us over.

Tanjiro tilt Muzan's head to him. He goes close to Muzan's lips.

Tanjiro: I never really say it, but I didn't like those humans. To see that you are working with them, makes me freak. But since you know what you want then I didn't say anything.

Muzan:..Maybe you are right. We need to change.

Tanjiro smiles.

Tanjiro: I think its best that we send some warnings to those humans to stay in line.

Muzan: Hm...let's hold it up to the meeting. We need know what they are doing first. Let's wait shall we?

Tanjiro nods.

"Let's see if the one who is causing all those ruckus will show themselves." Tanjiro said.
