Stolen - Tanjiro

❤️Hi guys! So this is my first story, please don't judge! I hope you enjoy!❤️

As the sun started to set, I left the butterfly mansion to head back to my room. The sunset had a beautiful tint to it, an ombre of cotton candy pink, peach, and a soft yellow, the trees had gorgeous silhouettes. As I walked back, I thought about the last time I could spend time with his family under the sky. I clenched my hands into fists just thinking about my family's death. If only I had been there, they might have survived. As much as I was thankful that Nezuko is still alive, I had to avenge my family's death. First, I went to Nezuko's room to tuck her into bed and wish her a good rest, then I walked back to my room and settled into bed with Zenitsu and Inosuke.

"Welcome back Monjiro!" Inosuke remarked.

"Good to be back!" I replied.

Zenitsu cried, and ran to hug me. "Uwa!!! Tanjiro! Inosuke is being so mean! He was bullying me so much! Do something, do something!"

"I'm so sorry Zenitsu, Ionsuke, would be possible for you to not bully Zenitsu so much?" I asked.

"Never! I am Inosuke, God of the mountain! Raised by the boars!" Inosuke replied.

I heaved a sigh and crawled into bed. "Alright, well I'm going to bed now. Tomorrow we have a long night ahead of us, and I don't want to be late!" I then closed his eyes and started his total concentration breathing exercise. The others did as I did, and got into bed.

A gust of wind came and woke me from my dreams. I thought nothing of it and went back to bed. That's when I heard the rustling of bushes from outside. Uncomfortable, I got up and went to check outside. I didn't see anybody, so I started to head back into my room. As I did, I heard more rustling noises, and I went to go see who it was. As I got closer to the noise, there I saw it. Standing in front of me, in the middle of the Butterfly mansion, was Muzan.

"M-muzan?" I stuttered

"Who else would have been?" scoffed Muzan. 

"Why are you here?"

"I came here to pick up something that I forgot to finish off back in the mountains."

M-me?! I couldn't believe it. Did he come here to capture me? I quickly reached for the sword at my side, that wasn't there. " Muzan, I don't know what you're planning on doing with me, but it won't happen!"

"Oh? And why is that?"Muzan gave me a confused look.

You're in the butterfly mansion, which means if they see you, none of them are going to let you get me!"

"You think some pesky demon slayers are going to stop me?" Muzan said, completely offended.

Faster than my eyes could see, Muzan grabbed my throat, lifting me off the ground, and strangling me. I yelled, "Let go of me Muzan! I won't let you capture me!" I started flailing around like a young child whose candy got taken away.

People started waking up by the spur of things happening outside. Many went outside, and screamed, "Muzan!", while others ran away in fear. Once Shinobu woke up, she looked at Muzan, grabbed her sword, and started to attack, but still, Muzan was too fast. Nezuko, sensing that I was endangered, ran out, and came to help, knowing that I was in trouble, but saw Muzan and recoiled.

"Muzan! Let go of Tanjiro this instant" yelled Shinobu.

"Oh? But what if I don't want to?" replied Muzan, and in a flash, we were gone.
