Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 2 Slay 10

Tanjiro walks to the sofa where he settles down and looks at Ketsueki as he smiles at him. "Will you lie to me?" Tanjiro asked to which Ketsueki shakes his head as he kneels to the ground in front of him. Tanjiro smirks, indicating using his finger to ask Ketsueki to come forward. Ketsueki bites his lips as he crawls over to Tanjiro.

Ketsueki stops in front of him as Tanjiro ask"I saw those portraits, tell me. Who is the one sitting on the throne with blood?" Ketsueki's eyes widen upon hearing it.

Ketsueki: You have seen the portraits...

Tanjiro: Do you think to have the portraits hanging in a hidden room will stop me from finding out?

Ketsueki: Never knew that you would find out that quickly. Of cause, the secret would reveal somehow.

Tanjiro: Tell me.

...

1000 years ago, even before the name years was a thing. An unknown planet to all called Planet Chronicle, demons rule the world. One true king that rules them all, a king called Zankoku, rain terror against on the demons. Due to this, many demons roam into the human earth to start a new life and to have freedom on what they are doing. Zankoku noticed that his powers are slowly depleting one day, his desires for getting absolute power, he felt that he had no choice but to reincarnate into a human. As ordered, Muzan and Ketsueki are tasked to find out his reincarnated body and make sure that they get him...

Ketsueki: We have found you. That is all.

Tanjiro: How do you know I am the one?

Ketsueki: Because your presence is exactly like Zankoku...We need to give you, your reincarnated memories, due to the fact that there is a password that you need to say, before opening the portal. That is when you will see that you are the one..I'm sorry but it's my fault, I once had the item while waiting for your return, but I lost it but I have corrected my ways and I found out where is the thing you need. It's at the demon slayer corps.

Tanjiro: Then let's destroy them.

Ketsueki: I already did. *Smiles*

On the other hand, in the ruckus, many killed from the demons who are roaming around freely. A monster breach the library there the demons snatched a necklace away..

Demons fought with the demon slayers, among the fighters were Zenitsu & Nezuko both practically lay out on the floors, weaken as they wonder...Why are the demons so powerful...Nezuko however thought of something more, wondering if Tanjiro, her brother is behind it. As her mind drifts, so the demons coming nearer to them...Covering them with a cloth and thus they went cold...

Tanjiro turns around as he noticed Ketsueki standing at the door looking at him, he gave him a sly grin as he walks over to him, Tanjiro can't comprehend as he watches Ketsueki reaches over from his back and tie a necklaces on him, he looks at Tanjiro before turning to the necklace. "They have successfully stolen the necklace for us. Now, this is not the end, but of the beginning. Let me bring you back to your world." Ketsueki said as he pulls Tanjiro by hand to the chamber of all three canvases. With a snap of his fingers, the canvases faded and it opens to a cave.

Several demon minions all wearing armour suits stood beside the walkway that leads to a purple crystalise tree. As they walk past every armoured minions, they kneeled to the ground in respect. Upon reaching the end of the walkway, Ketsueki smiles and turns to Tanjiro. He talks to Tanjiro in a respectful manner.

Ketsueki: Now it is officially here, my lord.

Tanjiro: My...Lord?

Ketsueki: Yes. What is the mere completion that your Child Muzan Kibutsuji have done to help see your days as our king, is merely complete without our lord unlocking his full memories. Now that we are here, and my lord have his necklace. He shall be able to unlock his memories and the one important thing.

Ketsueki turn to the tree and turn back.

Ketsueki: My lord will be able to open up the portal to Planet Chronica. Your homeland, Your world and Your ruling.

Tanjiro gave a questionable first.

Ketsueki: It is understandable that you don't remember now, because we haven't start the ritual. Soon, you will remember them. Your questions will be answered, my lord.

Ketsueki stands up as an armoured minion comes over while holding a tray with several items on it. Ketsueki settles Tanjiro on a chair, as Ketsueki removes the necklace's vile and gets a knife from the tray. He lifts Tanjiro's hands. He prick Tanjiro's finger and collects the blood in the vile. He place the knife back and heads over to the tree and collect a droplet of the crystalise water from the tree. Mixing it. and it glows bright red. He comes back and hook the necklace back on to Tanjiro. Then slowly the vile turns dull as Tanjiro's eyes turns bright red. He is absorbing the power from the crystal....

Now...See your past life...My Lord.
