My little demon slayer (Muzan X Male Reader)

real Chapter V.

"We should go find Giyuu and Sanemi," I said standing up and putting my hand out for Tanjiro. Tanjiro took my hand with a nod, and we headed towards the entrance.

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

The town was.. devastated. Blood was splattered everywhere, painting broken walls red. Those weren't even houses anymore, just ruins. The air was suffocating- ash and blood being the only things you could smell.

It felt like even mother nature could detect something was wrong. The sky got grey, and in seconds the rain drops stopped the fire from spreading.

The kind soul Tanjiro is, tried helping all the bodies that were stuck under the train, some at the edge of death, some already lifeless. Children laying under the train with no limbs and blood all over them, made me lost in thoughts. This was definitely the demons that had done this. With the smell, and the red eyes hiding in the shadows of the buildings, it was pretty clear who was behind all this. But why? He actually seemed kind of.. nice while that night together. For god's sake, he still and will be a demon, an evil being.

My eyes left the lifeless body, and instead they inched towards Tanjiro. Muzan hurt so many people. He will never stop, and that's just the truth. I should know this.

"Tanjiro.. she isn't breathing." I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. Tanjiro held the corpse of a small child in his hands. He seemed deep in thoughts, no emotion on his face. How could he go from being such a happy and nice person to this in only a second?

"Please, Tanjiro. We can come back later. We will help everyone, but we have to go. There are culprits behind this, which we can still stop from hurting others. Come on." That seemed to break Tanjiro out of his thoughts. He gave me an apologetic look, otherwise saying nothing, only helping me to get up from the ground.

I kept my hand on Tanjiro's shoulder. We kept looking around for the other two slayers, who in fact seemed to disappear, at the most important time too. The town was basically empty now, most people being evacuated. Though, humans were selfish. Some would do anything to save themselves, even if it cost the lives of others. This one child was standing near the broken houses, crying. He was no older than 5 years. he was terrified, poor little thing.

I couldn't keep watching, so I gave in and walked over to him with Tanjiro instead walking elsewhere to help others. "Hey little one," I knelt down to get to his eye level. "It's not safe here. Will you come with me?"

The boy was scared. He was shivering even at the slightest move I made towards him. He inched backwards when I tried to touch him.

"Hey, don't worry. I promise it will be okay. Your mom and dad are waiting for you." I tried saying, but he just wouldn't give in.

"Alright.. what's your name buddy?" I tried a different slower tactic. I really didn't want to leave this kid here, where the demon king probably was. Far worse there could be even other demons, maybe even the uppermoons.

The boy sniffled, wiping his teary eyes with his torn shirt sleeve. "Lucas.. M-my name is L-Lucas.." the boy finally said after a while.

"Lucas.. What a pretty name. Say, you go with me and I will give you this big toy. Hm?" I offered. I didn't wanna scare him, so maybe this was going to work.

"R-really?" Lucas' eyes lit up. I smiled and nodded, taking his smaller hand in mine, and opening my arms. The s bot jumped into them, refusing to let go. I felt so, so bad. And to think that I.. that I slept with the one who did this. I felt my throat closing up. I stood up with him, and slowly walked through the ruins.

Still, even with the boy in my arms, I was cautious. I could feel eyes following me, but I didn't know if I was just being paranoid at this point. But even then, I knew that my priority was making sure the boy was safe.

Remaining people were all running to the only entrance. That's when I gave Lucas to some seemingly nice enough people. I needed to take care of this. Needed to. I smiled at the boy. "After we meet again, I will give you the biggest toy you've ever dreamt off." I promised him. And with that, I parted.
