The Blood In The Night- Demon King Tanjiro Au

CHP5- The Reign Of Terror Begins

Tanjiro started to walk away from Inosuke as he was heading back to the forest. "let's go and create my army..." he started to walk faster with a grim smile on his face, he was ready to wreak havoc, it thrilled him to an extent.

Inosuke did a tiny wave even though Tanjiro was facing the other way, he sighed sadly walking the other way. Zenitsu was waiting for him since he couldn't just leave Inosuke out here by himself, it's too dangerous and anyways he is too reckless.

"Inosuke! Hurry up" The yellow haired boy yelled.

"YEAH YEAH, WHATEVER JUST SHUT UP MONITSU!!!" He replied yelling, not in the mood to be rushed around. After a couple seconds passed, Inosuke made it to his annoying cry baby of a friend, because he was rushing him, Inosuke wacked him around the head.

"Hey what was that for!?" Zenitsu exclaimed, confused what Inosuke's intention was.

"You just really annoy me.." He retorted, looking down at the ground, giving Zenitsu the idea something else was bugging the boar, he thought if he should ask what was wrong but instead he just let it slide.

"Let's go then" He said, already starting to walk ahead of the aggravated boy. "yeah yeah i'm going" he replied, walking faster than him, since he wanted it to be a competition, as usual.

Time Skip: 

Tanjiro's POV:

I felt more power coursing through my veins, it feels incredible! I could rule everyone, conquer the whole world even! Hopefully, I will be able to find my first victim, to become the first pawn in my army. I was heading up to this small village, so many victims to feast upon.... NO! I must save some of them to see their worth, and if worst comes to worst and they disobey me or join the enemy, then I'll hunt them down.

I'll torture them until daybreak, as their body burns, nothing will remain. Not even the bones.

I snuck my way around the village, making my way to this alleyway, a few homeless, a few animals. I did notice a demon amongst this alleyway, it's a smart move to be here as it is rather dark, no sunlight hits here. I walked further down the alleyway, until I made a stop, the demon was right in front of me, staring into my eyes, pesky beggar.

"Who in the hell are you!?" The dark-haired demon retorted, I smirked, which made the demon tremble, he didn't know what I was capable of, which is for good measure.

"I am Tanjiro, King of Demons" I announced proudly, the demon scoffed not believing what I said was true. "PFFT! Yeah right, do you really think I'm going to believe that crap" The demon bellowed out, laughing. "I'm Kurayami, used to be one of the twelve kizuki, but I wasn't good enough so my rank of Lower 7 was taken from me." "That shit you keep making up about being the King and everything is ridiculous" Kurayami finished in his aggravated tone.

"Oh, it's crap is it?" I asked, looking very outraged. To prove my point of being the King, I grabbed one of the homeless, and gave them a constant stream of my blood, which the human body couldn't handle this rapid transformation, destroying all of their cells in a matter of seconds. Kurayami watched, with a horrified look on his pale face.

"Do you believe me now?" I asked in a harsh voice. Kurayami nodded, "I take back what I said before, I totally believe you now" He replied quickly, not wanting any harm.

"What if I made a deal with you" I objected, giving Kurayami an option.

"What's that then?" He blurted.

"What if you could retake your place as Lower 7? Would you want to become a higher rank, if you showed me your worth?"
