Truth [DS Fanfic] Tanjiro×Muzan

Chapter 2 Slay 11

Tanjiro opens his eyes and he finds himself laying on a throne in a cathedral-like place. The cathedral is dark and the only thing that is giving him light, are the candles mounted on the walls. He sits up rubbing his eyes, it seems that he was asleep on his throne. Just the usual era of time in Planet Chronica. Two demons enters the cathedral and immediately falls to the ground in a kneeling position. Kneeling to him. He looks at them with an intense stare, slowly they tilt their heads and lookup. It's Muzan and Ketsueki. Tanjiro turns his head the other way.

Tanjiro: You imprudent fools. How dare you defy my orders! You two have a death wish is it now, my children? *Turns to them with a glare*

Muzan: My lord, I am sorry for the misunderstand-

Tanjiro: Misunderstanding is a lie. I am not misunderstanding anything.

Tanjiro reveals his tails and it goes towards Muzan, he is going to kill him for his silly actions, but Ketsueki stops Tanjiro's tail as he stands in front of Muzan, protecting him.

Ketsueki: My lord! Muzan did nothing wrong.

Muzan: No, I deserve to die!

Ketsueki: NO!

Tanjiro: ENOUGH!

His voice echoes throughout the place.

Tanjiro: Remember the time, that you as a human you beg for immortality? You said you will listen to me, always? But what are you doing now? Gathering my citizens and allow them to defy me.

Muzan: I am not like that, My lord. I am willing to take any punishment that you give me.

Ketsueki: Please, spare him my lord!

Tanjiro: *Cold eyes* I hereby sentence you, to the human realm and never come back to Planet Chronica. Since you like to gather people, then I don't think it would hurt for you to turn humans into one of our kind.

That night, Tanjiro enters his chamber, he opens the curtains to let the moonlight in, then it reveals his room, a room filled with chains. He feels the chains and looks at it, before turning to the walls...Which is filled of scratches. Little to Muzan and Ketsueki knows, but their lord is losing his control over his powers.

"Every era that goes by, I am slowly losing control over my powers. This is something that I knew that it will happen someday...Planet Chronica is my home and I can't just leave...I need to return to this world when I am full again." Tanjiro said as he closes his eyes. Chanting "May the dark revive my powers of entering this world, once again." He knows that the only way to be powerful again like he once was, was to reincarnate into a human and from there reviving his powers will lead to better control over himself. He gave his orders to Muzan and Ketsueki to find him after he has reincarnate, no matter the cause and that is that.

He walks through the valley of demons for the last time, as every demons are forced to bow to his arrival. He smiles before heading to a clif. The only way for him to reincarnate is to inject himself with poison, that is his only weakness.  Beside him sits several items. A knife, a vile of poison and a book. Alone, he kneeled in front of the blood ocean. Taking his knife, he slit his two arms which is the same wounds that Tanjiro in the current life couldn't heal. "Damaged my soul to break the vile to start the reincarnation process of healing and transformation." He said as he placed the bloodied knife back on the ground. Watching the wounds, he is so weak that he can't even heal his wounds. He nods, understanding and accepting that his powers are gone.

Tanjiro grabs the next thing to him. The bottle of poison. He place it on his fingers leaving a yellowish looking substance on his hands. He smiles and says "The only way to inject it in, is to-" Tanjiro forcefully stab himself with his fingers and it went through his ribs. The poison spreads... "This is the only way..."He said to himself. As he removes his hand, he weakly grabs the book and flip it. "My revival. Demonic of all demons." he said the password to opening up the portal before falling into the blood ocean. As he sinks down to the bottom of the ocean, he could feel the things around him...He noticed Ketsueki standing on the ledge looking at him smiling..Tanjiro widen his eyes, this is the first time he sees Ketsueki smiling like that, he knew that something was up...but his powers starts to deplate and slowly he closes his eyes and succum to the death of his.

Tanjiro came back to current world, he gasp as he starts to cough. The feelings that he felt is so real. So scary. Ketsueki looks at him with worrying eyes. He process Tanjiro's facial expression before turning his worries into happiness. He knows that Tanjiro got it, he can feel it.

"Now, my lord. Say the password and you will regain your throne!" Ketsueki humbly says with a evil grin.
