Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 2 Slay 8

If I stay...
He will know why soon enough...

Tanjiro walks away, he continues to stroll after the 'fun'. Then, "Seventh Form: Gale - Sudden Gusts." Tanjiro looks behind him and noticed the gust of wind, which this time, he managed to dodge it nicely and watch as it cuts down a tree. He turns back and he noticed Sanemi, he arrogantly looks at Tanjiro with a smile and tauntingly said: "How does it feel to be someone else's bitch to gain power?" Tanjiro looks at him without saying anything, Sanemi laughs and taunts "Must have felt so good to sit on your power house's dick huh? Pathetic."

"Second Form: Claws-Purifying Wind" He yelled, pounding forward towards Tanjiro with claws like wind, coming towards Tanjiro, but Tanjiro smiles as he jumps into the air, Sanemi going under him, with a surprise attack, Sanemi went into the air, changing the direction that he is going. Tanjiro shocked by it, he turns his body 360 degrees, barely missing the claws. Noticing Sanemi's back, revealed to him, he unleashed his tails and pierce him through.

"Damn it." Sanemi states as Tanjiro threw him several meters away from him and crash land against the hard ground. "Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation." A voice yelled, Tanjiro turns mid-air and noticed Kyojuro Rengoku rushing towards him, he has no place to run. He grits his teeth, then "You are not going to die on me." Ketsueki states as he appears in front of Tanjiro, with a swift move, he extinguishes the fire and kicks Kyojuro away from Tanjiro...

Then as the sun comes up, Tanjiro and Ketsueki disappears...Kyojuro stood there and just watch as he rest from the breathing technique. Before rushing over to Sanemi to aid him.

They appear back at their chamber, "Whew, had I not save you. You would have burned into a crisp." Ketsueki states, as he turns around, he noticed Tanjiro laying against the walls, he held on to his hip, bleeding out. Even his old dry wounds are bleeding. Ketsueki goes over to Tanjiro, shock by what he is seeing. He carries him to his bed, where Tanjiro is laying there in pain. "Why aren't you healing!?" Ketsueki said as he noticed that there is yellow stain on Tanjiro's fingers. "Snake poison. Shit." Ketsueki exclaimed.

Kyojuro settles on the ground with the injured Sanemi. "Have you done it?" Kyojuro asked to which Sanemi replies as he rubs his back. Removing a thick layer of animal skin and throw it on the ground. "Of cause, Obanai reminded me beforehand..It feels so good to know that Tanjiro is probably suffering now. Kagaya was right, that ass is riding on a powerhouse to get power. Ha." Sanemi states.

Ketsueki rushes to a part of the chamber and grabs some herbs. He rushes back and Tanjiro starts to spaz. "No, no. Don't lose to it. Tanjiro!" Ketsueki yells as he places the herbs on the wounds. "I need to give you my blood." He processes what he had to do before tearing Tanjiro's clothing and pierced him with his hands, infusing blood. "Take my blood, as much as you need!" Ketsueki talks to Tanjiro. Tanjiro starts to ooze out black blood from his mouth and eyes. "Come on." Ketsuki begs.

When Tanjiro starts to ooze out red fresh blood, Ketsueki stops. He removes his hands from Tanjiro's stomach and watches as Tanjiro calms down and slowly heals his own wounds, Tanjiro closes his eyes and rested as the herbs start to dry. Ketsueki looks at Tanjiro's wrists. His dried wounds, he feels it. "People were fighting against you, that they even use weapons that doesn't allow you to heal completely. If you were to know the real reason why I am helping you, I am worried that you might create massive destruction on us demons and better yet, humans. For now, I will try my best to keep that secret away from you." Ketsueki states as he places Tanjiro's hands back down. He runs his fingers slowly on his chest, just looking at him, he touched Tanjiro's face with guilt on his face, he leaves the bed after.

Days after, Tanjiro wakes up. His mouth tasted like rotting iron, he settles up and he noticed that his shirt is gone. He slowly climbs out of bed and grabs a coat, covering himself, he exits the room. As he walks down the silent hallway, he noticed something unusual, a candle light, coming from a room that he doesn't usually see. He goes over quietly and he hears something

Demon: Why not tell him? It simple things out?

Ketsueki: Centuries of lies have bestow upon us, it was a good thing that fate have landed between us. If not, he would still be living under the falsehood of his fate and life. I can't just tell him, he will not believe me anyways. As long as I stay with him, slowly he will realised the truth.

(Truth...What truth do I still need to know?)
