The Dark Prince's Curse (Muzan x oc fanfiction)

Who is Who?

Akane's pov:

I always cried ever since that Hinami started to destroy my life. But in my mind I couldn't let that witch destroy me or my marriage. Muzan is my husband demon or not he is my husband.

I jolted awake as I realized I've fallen asleep an hour ago. I've always had the dream. That dream before I got my name, Akane. Before I became a child of the night. The night I opened a door for someone. It's now so much clearer. The man had a long, black hair that resembles the dark of the night.

I also remember that story Muzan told me. The story of Hinami. When she died. If only she wasn't destroying our marriage then she wouldn't be hated so much.

I sighed. I went out to eat since I haven't been eating for a few days. Muzan greeted me with a shocked face.

"Akane... You look glum! You look like someone who raised from the dead." He said and asked the maid to prepare my favorites. Muzan cares for me deeply now. Maybe it's still because of my blood. But who cares?

Then he asked the maid to apply make up on my face. It took her hours but she said I looked decent now. Muzan approached the bed I sat on and kissed me.

"Don't worry. We will make it out of this situation. Trust me I'll make it better. It may take a long time but I won't let you face this alone." He assured me.

Muzan's pov:

I sighed. I am not a genuinely kind person but I can't help but feel this commitment and deep attraction towards the woman I married.

I wasn't really a human to begin with. But I'm going to make sure she will get her reflection back. I asked Yunin to scan the whole house. Even though I was a demon Yunin didn't hesitate to help me. I didn't know why but he said it felt right.

"I know why... Listen I don't know who is the real Akane and real Hinami between the two females I'm sensing right now." He said. Yunin was also blind. So I knew he was really good. The only woman that is staying in our house now is Akane.

"I know that two women resides in your house. It seems to me that you found the key to break your curse Muzan Kibutsuji. You've got to choose between Hinami or Akane." He explains.

"If you don't know who is who then how will I be able to choose?" I asked Yunin.
"The only one who knows it is the woman with you now. The one you've been calling Akane. But she said that the woman who was snatching her reflection is Hinami."

I looked at Akane who was beside me.
"Seeker Yunin... I don't know who is who. I don't even know where I came from before I became an oiran. All I knew was I am a child of the night." She told him.

"You know you were someone before that. You just don't remember dear." That was Yunin's words before he left.

Akane's pov:

He knows about my dreams. That I was someone before that night. I just can't remember. All I know is Muzan's story and mine seems to be connected. If only I can scratch my mind a bit more maybe I'll know.

I tried to look at the mirror again. Again the mirror didn't reflect me. I was crying when I noticed that I'm becoming transparent. I am like a ghost !

"Hahaha! See? You don't even know who you are. You're not Akane or Hinami. Because I'm the real Akane. And Hinami is dead." She cackled and I shrieked. No! I'm Akane! What is she saying?

I slowly turn more transparent and I cried more. But it shouldn't end this way. I should fight back. I stood and sprinted for the door. I went to Muzan and he looked worried.

"What's happening to you? Why're you slowly fading away?" He asked which shocked me more. He immediately asked for Yunin again. He was also here yesterday.

"This is bad. We have to defend her from that spirit that tries to get her out of her body. If the spirit succeeds... Your wife will die. So you'll have to choose Muzan... This Akane or the one that claims to be your wife?" He asks him.

"How do we get her to safety?" He asks.
"We will have to talk outside." He said and took out a paper. This piece of paper was laden with holy water. He sticks it to every part of the room including the mirror. He also asked the maids to remove mirrors from my room.

And then he surrounded the whole room with salt.
"This will prevent the spirit from taking her. And Muzan... We will talk outside." He said and they left me.

Muzan's pov:

Yunin took me somewhere private.
"Muzan... Listen. That woman laying down there isn't even Akane. The real Akane is that spirit trying to take her."

It petrified me. What? But that doesn't make sense.
"I know it sounds ridiculous but listen. Years ago... A thousand years ago Hinami died so unexpectedly right? What I am sensing is a high level spell. A spell that transfers souls." He explained.

"So... What you're saying is Hinami is the person inside Akane's body? I asked.
"Yes. Somehow I can reverse this. I might be able to do it if I could know who was the witch that casted this on her. And if we do find her... Hinami will cease to exist in this Earth."

For the first time I was scared. I didn't want to sacrifice anyone. I don't want to give up Hinami. Or Akane or whoever she is. She's mine.

"Can we do anything else? Anything that could save my wife." I pleaded. This is the first time I plead for someone too.

"Will you be able to choose and sacrifice your life for her?" He asked. That got me thinking. If this was a trap I'll gladly fall for it. I'll gladly offer my life. Even if it means giving up my demon life so she could be saved. But...

"Would I be able to do it with my blood?" I asked.
"No. Mixture of your blood and hers will kill her quicker. So you can't get this through your way." He answered.

I sighed. "How do we do it then?"
