Here I laid crying, flames surrounding me, my home, and my unborn child. The smoke causing my eyes and lungs to scream for relief, I could hardly keep my eyes open anymore.

Laying in a fetal position as far as I could go due to my round stomach, I rubbed it so, as if comforting the child within. Muzans child. I couldn't get up, I was actually bleeding out atop of about to be burned alive, I was stabbed twice on my lower stomach and once on the shoulder. It is known, a demon such as Muzan Kibutsuji is feared, hated, & loathed. No one able to find a weakness or trying to act against him.
But once they found out about me, a human, bearing the child of a demon. There was an uproar, everyone flipping towns upside down just to find me. And once they did, this is what was the aftermath.

I hate it, I hate those who did this to me. But I also understand, Muzan has only showed me his kindest and loving side, he's a murderer and evil man otherwise... damn me for falling in love with him, but I do. And I won't stop.

My thoughts are interrupted by a large crack and support beam breaking above me, looking up, the roof caves in. Surprisingly little hit me, and with this the night sky was exposed, it was rather dark other than the flames lights surrounding me, rather peaceful really, stars shining bright above me. I want to see him, see him one last time before I die. I'm afraid what Muzan will do once I'm gone.

I try and take a deep breath in only to be welcomed by an overwhelming burning sensation, here soon I won't be able to breath...
I ready to close my eyes and for good this time until I hear frantic yelling.

"Y/N! Y/N WHERE ARE YOU!?!" I hear what's left of the house being thrown around, until the rubble was moved away to expose me. Muzan.

My face had instantly lit up, and through the pain, I let a smile consume my teary eyed and red face. Looking into his beautiful plum red eyes.

"Y/n..." he stops, pain written across his face before he hurls towards me to pick me up bridal style and quickly move into the forest, away from the smoke and flames.
As I'm gently laid in the soft grass I wince from the pain, yet still in his arms.

"Who did this to you," he's acts calm, trying to keep everything together, brushing my hair behind my ear and gently rubbing my arm.
"That doesn't matter now, just hold me...Please," I give a weak smile, tears streaming down my face.

He places his forehead against mine, a single tear coming from his face drops onto mine. Gently placing my hand against his face, I like to think this brings him at least a little comfort.

"Let me turn you, let me save you," he says softly.
But it was too late, I was slipping away, consciousness becoming increasingly difficult.

My hand slipped from his face, as did the life slip from my body.

(Taisho era)

"Muzan really slaughtered an entire village for revenge on his wife's death!?" Tanjiros face grows sad.
"Imagine how terrified they all must have been," his voice softens, as he places down the book which had the story, a soft thud being heard.
"Imagine how terrified his wife must have been!? I understand the town but they aren't the only victims," I say.

"Yeah, true. She must have not known what Muzan was really like, otherwise I bet she would never marry a man like that," Tanjiro adds.

"Enough sad and depressing stories! Wanna go get some food before nightfall? I know we need to kill the demons here is Asakusa n all, but we can't do that on an empty stomach," I stand up quickly, extending my hand to Tanjiro.
