The Blood In The Night- Demon King Tanjiro Au

CHP4- The Forest

"I can't believe how much you have grown used to this Tanjiro....or should I say King Of Demons" Muzan said, like he was an irritating parasite that just wouldn't go away.
"Why can't I just have my own freewill, you just want me because I'm able to rule the sun" Tanjiro replied back, nobody was there it was just him, blabbering on at thin air.

"No, that is not what I intended. You were a rare kind, and anyways you were going to die. So I'm doing you a favour by giving you a chance to live as a demon, it is better than being a useless piece of flesh that dies when its reached its limits" "The human body also isn't as reliable, unless you are a demon then it's a different story." Muzan wouldn't stop ranting on about it, the dark haired boy got sick of the insignificant blabbering. 

Another demon was running around in this forest. It spotted Tanjiro and ran right at him, which was a big mistake, because it was the end for that demon. He split the lighter-haired demon in quarters, blood spilt on the ground, landing on Tanjiro's feet. Even though deep down, the real Tanjiro didn't want this, he wanted to go home, to see Nezuko... but instead this other side of him, was the bloodlust, anger, resentment and all of his other feelings.

Tanjiro set foot outside of the forest, with the horizon showing him the destruction from where it all happened. He got drawn towards it, running back over there at an extreme rate. He stood in the middle of the battlefield, he noticed somebody still here. It was Inosuke. A bit odd for him to still be here...

"Tanjiro, please come back... as a human, you were so kind.. you're smile, I miss that." The Boar Head seemed like he just lost his best friend, saying these comments but in reality, he actually started to get feelings for him. Now all that torments him, is his crushes wonderful smile.

Inosuke started walking away from the destroyed building, until he noticed Tanjiro standing there from a far distance. He stood there for a second processing what he is seeing. The dark blue haired boy, started to run, even though he was badly injured at this point it didn't matter.

Tanjiro was starting to growl, got into a fighting stance, he was ready to throw some hands.

Inosuke got closer and closer to him, until he stopped because he realised it wasn't worth it, he couldn't let his feelings cloud his vision. Inosuke started to walk away sighing, saying to himself he is such an idiot.

"Inosuke...." Tanjiro finally spoke and this time it was the real him speaking.

"I'm so sorry...I let you down." Tanjiro dropped his head, bowing slightly as of his mistake.

"It's nothing to be sorry about. We didn't have the antidote. We let you down" The boar hide boy was crying and it showed through his mask. Tanjiro felt so guilty, it made his chest hurt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tanjiro! I NEED YOU, STOP RESISTING AT ONCE!" Muzan yelled loudly in Tanjiro's Mind.

"CAN I ATLEAST TALK TO INOSUKE, PLEASE! HE NEEDS TO TELL ME SOMETHING!"

"NOW SHUT UP!!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Inosuke... when you were near the destroyed building, what were you saying? Also, how did you feel about me, not this, but the real me?" He asked tilting his head to the side, trying to ignore Muzan yelling in his head.

"I said that I missed you, your smile... I loved it" "I also said that i-i... i-i... like you more than a friend but you're a demon so.... guess I'll have to get over you" Inosuke said this in a very sad tone, he sighed. 

"Don't." " I will become human again, I promise." "This is my last message to you... make sure Zenitsu leaves Nezuko alone." Tanjiro laughed before it turned into more of a growl as Muzan had had enough of this. He was the one in control

He was the one to rule the sun.
