Little Demon Puppet

Chapter 4: Tanjirou?

We quickly got ready. I went to prepare my disguise.

I concealed my red irises behind an illusion. My eyes returned to their normal purplish-maroon color.

My nail retracted, and my demon marks gone. (A/N: Does that even make sense?)

Then I scratched myself while willing myself not to regenerate.

Muzan entered to room. "Are you done?"

"Yeah, lets go." I said walking to the door.

"Not so fast." he said.

I tilted my head in confusion.

I watched as he fastened a collar to my neck.

"We have to let those pesky slayers that you are my pet." he explained.

I nodded. The heavy chain connected to my neck weighed my body down, but I paid no heed.

Third Person POV

The Zenitsu, Inosuke, Nezuko, and the Pillars sat around the dining room.

"Thank you for the food!" they said in unison.

Then a lower ranked demon slayer crashed into the room.

"Demons have been spotted along the borders!" he yelled gasping for air.

All the slayers, grabbed their swords and rushed out the room.

As they arrived at the border, they were greeted by an ugly sight.

Uppermoons 1, 2, 3, and 6 were stationed near the wisteria flowers. They made no attempts on attacking.

What were they planning?

Then suddenly the sound of a biwa played. Out of nowhere, Muzan appeared.

"Muzan! What business do you have in here?!" Rengoku asked. 

"HEY DEMON GUY! WHERE DID YOU TAKE OUR GONPACHIRO?!" Inosuke screamed.

"Oh Tanjirou?" Muzan asked, raising an eyebrow.

Just then Uppermoon 2 spoke. "Your pet is ready master."

PET?!

Uppermoon 3 came out with Tanjirou on a leash.

All the slayers stared at him in horror. Tanjirou looked gruesome as ever.

"T-tanjirou?" Giyuu questioned, refusing to believe that the person in front of him was their ball of sunshine.

Tanjirou did not speak. Instead, he turned his head to Muzan, as if asking for permission to speak. Muzan nodded.

"What?" he finally spoked, looking annoyed.

"Now, now, Uppermoon zero, that's not how you speak to your fellow companions." Muzan teased.

Tanjirou only growled. The Pillars hearts fell. Tanjirou made no attempt to correct Muzan.

"I-is it true Tanjirou? Your an Uppermoon?" Zenitsu stuttered.

"Nii-chan, come back!" Nezuko cried. "We missed you!"

During the awfully long pause, Tanjirou reached for Muzan's face.

The Pillar's noticed that Muzan made no attempt to push the hand away.

Tanjirou's hand swiftly dug out Muzan's left eyeball.

The Pillars watched in disgust.

Tanjirou popped the eyeball in his mouth. As he chewed, his eyes turned into the same plum red as Muzan's. His nails grew and his wounds healed.

Tanjirou blinked. When he opened his eyes again, the kanji of Uppermoon Zero appeared on his eyes.

"YOU MONSTER, HOW DARE YOU TURN KENTARO INTO ONE OF YOUR SERVANTS!" Inosuke screamed. He charged forward only to be stopped by Tanjirou.

"LET ME KILL HIM DAMMIT!" 

"Why did you assume it was his idea, Inosuke?" Tanjirou asked, his eyes flashed dangerously.

"Y-you mean-" Kanao asked, unable to finish her sentence.

Tanjirou nodded. Then he smiled. The smile that everyone missed.

Then suddenly he said, "Akaza I'm hungry."

"Well then get your own food dammit." Akaza retorted.

Shinobu thought perhaps he ate human food like Nezuko? 

She watched as Tanjirou tugged on Muzan's shirt. "Muzan~ Akaza is bullying me!"

Muzan sighed. "Akaza-"

Akaza quickly stepped forward.

"Give Tanjirou your arm." Muzan casually said.

"A-arm?" Zenitsu quivered.

Akaza extended his arm to Tanjirou's mouth. And, Tanjirou ate it. "Yummy!"

The pink hair couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, Akaza stop hogging all the attention! Here Tanjirou, you can have my colorful eyeball!" Douma announced.

All hell broke loose as all the Uppermoons offered Tanjirou some part of their body.

All the Pillars shared one thought. 

"Tanjirou was long gone. He can't be saved because he drank and ate blood and flesh."

A/N: Oof I wrote this in the middle of online math class. My teacher is screaming at us because we weren't paying attention. HELP (T V T U).
