"Tanjiro.. if you want to save your big sister Nezuko, become one of us." The man in front of him mused as he lifted his chin up with the tip of his finger.
The only thing he could do in that moment was nod as his body began to shake in fear at the...
Did that man... just call himself... Tanjiro's father!
Nezuko was outraged, she wasn't going to give up now--just because Muzan Kibutsuji was here... also known as satan in human form.
She would get her brother back no matter-
"Nezuko... I-I still don't really know who you are... but... if... you could... please.. don't kill... Muzan!" Tanjiro yelled, Muzan still holding Tanjiro in his arms.
Nezuko was holding back the red burning tears that were begging to be released. "N-no.. Tanjiro.. this monster... isn't a ally.... he's a fucking demon!"
Muzan chuckled lightly. "Well.. you said you'd kill every single demon on earth am I wrong?"
Nezuko flinched, she gripped her sword tighter, the red shined in the moonlight..
"Tanjiro is a demon Nezuko.. a very powerful one.. second only to me." Muzan explained, smirking at Nezuko's reaction. "Kill me... and no one will be able to control him."
No.. her younger brother was not a demon... he wasn't going to be second in power as well... Tanjiro isn't his slave... I...
"Giving up already? You're friend over there looks a little worn out." Nezuko immediatly turned around, Yushiro had a look of despair on his face. Nezuko wasn't suprised, he had just lost the only person who had made him feel happy.
"Give me back my brother now demon!" Nezuko said, charging straight for him.
Then out of the blue, a red flash came bursting through in between, it knocked Nezuko down in a instant, her body slamming into the hard wood floor.. but when she sat up, another body lay across the floor. Yushiro...
There stood Tanjiro, his face wasn't readable. He had an expression that was in between a protective look and a look of pity. Did he really pitty her? Was he being controled by Muzan?
Probably.
"Tanjiro.. of we work together, we can free you-"
Tanjiro shook his head. "You can't kill Muzan... even if I let you.. you wouldn't be able to... Muzan is immune to all attacks." Tanjiro said with a cold emotionless voice. It made Nezuko shiver.
Why... why did it have to be her brother... why Tanjiro?
Out of everyone.. why him.. why our family!
"Nezuko! We can't stay here longer!" A shout echoed behind me, then a flash took Tanjiro and Muzan away.
Giyyu..
"Nezuko what happened! Why.." Giyyu looked around to Yushiro holding the dead corpse of lady Tamayo, who was slowly turning into ashes.
Nezuko was in a fit of tears. "If I wasn't.. so selfish.. Lady Tamayo would be alive.. and Tanjiro.. would be free!"
Giyyu put a hand on her shoulder. "Nezuko.. things happen.. and now-- that you're a demon slayer, you'll see the true dangers of this world." But Nezukp kept shaking.
"One day Tanjiro.. I'll find you myself, and save you!" Nezuko yelled, hot burning tears rolling doen her cheeks, and Giyyu, lifting her up and jumping through the town.
Little did she know, someone was in more pain.
200 kilometers away...
"Tanjiro.. you've been very naughty.. and this calls for a.. punsihment.." a cold voiced chuckled.
The little boy strapped to the wall was crying.. because that little boy-
Knew exactly what was in store for him.
