Tanjiro kidnaps Kanao, as Sanemi was taken by Shinobu...
Ring...)))
Silence that can make your ears deaf.
Ring...)))
Sanemi opened his eyes...he was in a dark room. 'What happen to me...?'
Feeling fuzzy, he tried his best to squeeze his memories from the last event before he was even woke in darkness.
'I was...?'
Flashes of Butterfly demon.
Giyuu in a very bad fever.
The antidote shattered and wasted.
Giyuu regaining himself to stab his own vile of antidote to the demonic insect.
Sanemi finally remembered.
'T-thats right...!'
Shinazugawa Sanemi was abducted by Kochou Shinobu.
He hears it so well, the terrifying chill when the ex insect pillar told him his fate.
((~"you will be our Tanjiro-sama's precious meal~ you will come with us for the rest of your life~Marechi~"~))
The flashback ended.
Sanemi's eyesight finally adjusted to the dark room.
He can see it was an empty room with unfinished paint on walls and a rough ground.
It looks like a den for a vicious dog pet or something.
Sanemi did not have the chance to ask himself of where he is...because.
CREAK...
The metal door creaked open.
A shadow of light is there.
"Good eve Sanemi-san~" the voice of Kamado Tanjiro echoed in Sanemi's widely alerted ears. Sanemi is chained up at the cold floor. "Apologies if my demon guard was rough on you." Tanjiro says sincerely, "Then again it is your fault for not surrendering." Yet he blamed him and added.
"It is actually launch time already if you wanted to know how many hours passed since you had been sleeping. You were unconscious last night, and now is noon time...yes." Tanjiro nods on himself, he did not seem to care if the captive is up to listen already or converse. He continued to speak his thoughts.
"What I can say now is that, welcome to your new home~ I will accept you!" Sanemi moved his head to properly glare in his front, at the exit door frame there was the demon king in his black kimono and checkered green scarf.
Notable appearance is his left arm sleeve is torn, unaware what story it holds behind...Sanemi already thinks it is something he shouldn't even bother to know.
The 15 years old kid in his pony tailed long red locks with swinging hanafuda earrings...Tanjiro started walking closer and closer. Making Sanemi's heart panic...because he knows...he will be eaten by him...!
On the other side Tanjiro is actually thinking inside his head.
'Marechi, marechi, marechi...! I want to hurry and taste it! But...but I must not be rude, I have to do this in a peaceful way...!'
Those in hurry thoughts does not even display on his face at all, Sanemi had zero clues what is behind Tanjiro's smiling face for.
'Ahh...I cannot control it, I'm so hungry...It won't hurt to hurry up and make him submit to my bidding right?'
Tanjiro tries to ask himself.
'...right Muzan?' Or asking his somewhat father figure. Yet nobody responded, it was all up to his decision how to handle this tasty situation.
Tap,tap,tap,
Badump-badump.
"Damn it! Let me out of these chains...!" Is the best Sanemi can curse out cause he did panic a bit as Tanjiro got so near him. "Remove it...!" Tanjiro click his tongue in dismay, hinted a slight mockery of his fear.
"What can I do to make you submit to me...?" He blurts out. Seeing Sanemi still bothering to free himself despite the obvious impossibility to break the chains...
Tanjiro finally reaches him. He bend his waist to make his face meet Sanemi's whose stuck at the cold floor.
"Do not worry, you will not be killed. I will feed on you till the day you grow old~" knowing his fate to be feasted on is sealed. Sanemi decided to end this in a way of being sassy...yes, acting tough.
"Hahaha! Stupid! We, who has demon slayer marks...we only live till 25 years old...! So you loose!" It was a fact that he knows. So Sanemi will be glad if that will make Tanjiro fearful. Yet...Tanjiro had a smile on his face.
Tanjiro is dying to eat him,he mentally thinks of Sanemi.
'Why can't we be friends?' Trying to show the captive his authority...
"Is that how you will treat me? Fine, I will make a way for you to stay..." Tanjiro hovers above him as he caresses his cheeks.
"I wonder what memories you held dear~"
Cat irises buried into his human pupils. Sanemi is disturb.
"Don't fucking touch me...! Creep...!" He was feeling vulnerable on how Tanjiro is sitting atop on him while the finger nails with claws is carefully massaging his cheeks. It is like Tanjiro testing his skin if they were a good meat. Sanemi can only yell inside his fragile mind. 'I bet he is hungry by just my scent...!'
Sanemi had lost his wisteria charm during the battle with Shinobu. So he can guess Tanjiro is just pretending calm, he must be deeply craving already to dig in for a bite.
"Sanemi-san~ please refrain the use of bad words~ It is making me loose my appetite." The boy made a sad face, Sanemi is disgusted.
"Stop making that face! You...you demon!" Even though its true, Tanjiro was hurt. 'W-why am so triggered at his statement...?'
Trying to remain composed, Tanjiro wanted to be polite at his meal...manners on table.
'Dammit this is embarrassing...!' Sanemi is shivering from the touch of Tanjiro's exploring finger tips. He was harassing him without knowing...
Tanjiro continued to play his fingertips from Sanemi's cheeks, to his jaw...then it drops to his neck. Sanemi is afraid. "Fuck it! If you eat me...you won't become human again...!" Glaring with frustrated teary eyes, "How about your sister!? Aren't you gonna go home together?!"
Automatically Tanjiro frozed.
"Another one...?" His face darken, wondering why the boy is acting strange...
SLICE!
Hissing in pain.
"Ghh!" Tanjiro made a small cut to Sanemi's cheeks, adding a new scar to his body. 'Oops, I had done it...' not that Tanjiro can care much since he did done it.
Tanjiro leans to lick it.
"Mmm~" he purred, the sensation of a tongue wetting Sanemi's face was really ticklish. Sanemi tug the chains that has been binding his wrist and ankle in response of trying to escape this embarrassing situation of getting licked like an ice cream. "Ugh...!" He screamed in pure disgust. Tanjiro stops licking him and he was delighted at the taste of Sanemi's blood. "Aaah~ so tasty~" chuckling, Tanjiro puts his palms to his own demon cheeks that has a turned on red shades.
"Sanemi-san~ thank you for the meal...I had been suffering you know~?"
His eyes glowing so bright...those red demonic iris.
"I'm so happy~" Tanjiro giggles.
'Eughhh...' Sanemi who hoped to wipe the saliva traced at his face, he grit his teeth instead. Watching the excitement rising up to the demon king. Tanjiro bit his own finger as he let him know what he was doing. "Sanemi-san~I saw your memories...To think you had a very tragic past..."
Tanjiro lifts his left arm to the left side itself to allow his blood drop to the ground. "It's ok now. I will bring you back your precious person~"
"Huh?"
Sanemi thought Tanjiro would revive Kochou Kanae as she was actually his special person...in terms, he had a crush to Kanae back in the past...but since she died, his feelings for the girl also died along with the increase of his scars...
Tanjiro kept a friendly smile as his blood began forming a figure.
DOOM...!)))
Sanemi jaw drops. It was not a Pillar...it was...a familiar feral appearance, having undergone a growth spurt that put him at almost six feet tall. His hair is also much longer, worn in more of a mohawk style, the strands much longer and visible around his neck. It is also noted that he became more muscular and gained many more scars all over his body.
His outfit were a dark olive-green version of the Demon Slayer uniform, over which he still sported his old purple yukata.
"G-Genya...?!"
Same appearance, except his eyes were black. It look exactly the demon version of Genya when his little brother would transform temporary as a demon.
Black eyes.
Barking at the demon king whose still sitting on his abdomen. "Fuck you! How dare you toy with my memories of my little brother! I won't forgive you...!" Angry tears...angry veins. Tanjiro looks at him with very bored eyes...as if they were reminding you of Kibutsuji Muzan.
Shinazugawa Genya's replica spoke for the first time.
He was smiling down at him, "Oniichan..." Sanemi's heart raced.
'His voice...it's just like...Genya's...!' even though he knew it was fake...He cannot help but feel so broken to hear again Genya's voice.
'I always wanted to hear him one more time...I really, really...'
Sanemi is choking at his throat trying not to feel the sadness he felt that his little brother here existing again, "W-What...?", the lower demon guard Genya widen his 'little brother vibe' smile to him. It was obviously scripted.
"Oniichan, we can be together as long as you let Tanjiro-sama feast on your blood. Isn't great...? He won't attack any other people who has Marechi with them..." anger made it's way to his veins, more pump than ever. He death glares to the innocent demon boy.
"Fuck this...Tanjiro you are...indeed a DEMON!"
He knew this is a trap, Genya is created so that he will stay...but, no way in hell he is going to be tricked!
So he repeated his insult.
"YOU DEMON!"
Tanjiro shrugs though, "It is futile Sanemi-san~ Just offer yourself to me...my..." it sounded so possessive that is scared Sanemi more.
"You are My Marechi~"
The former demon slayer who headbutts him before, went to sniff on his flesh..."N-no...!" struggling again, Tanjiro is sniffing on him, he was purring...he was moaning. "I think am going crazy~ your smell is addictive, your blood...Sanemi-san...Give it to me..your everything~ every single drop of your blood~I will take care of you..." the boy's tongue and lips were snipping at his open wound.."Get the fuck off!" jerking his tied legs.
Tanjiro went to bite his neck. "Grah!" Arching his back from getting invaded in his private space. "S-stop feeding on me...! Disgusting little shit...!"
Meanwhile the other was...thinks, 'This is it! This is what I had been longing for...! This fountain of blood...It fills me so much...!' Tanjiro gulping down some blood from Sanemi's neck, he pulls out his fangs to warn the older guy. "Behave please."
However the man's moving body is getting a little pain, so he scolds him.
"Tsk, Sanemi-san, stop struggling...do not make me mad...I do not have tools to sip your blood, I has to sip on you directly. Forgive me." the wind pillar, it makes him so sick how the boy is like this...
Sanemi spats viciously at him. "Stop making that 'sorry' ass face when you are not...! Listen here! You are Kamado Nezuko's Big Brother! Not a sadistic piece of shit you are right now...! You are not Kibutsuji Muzan's-"
"Silence."
BADUMP~!
'W-what? His atmosphere...changed...!' A deadly presence. Sanemi can tell he made Tanjiro angry. Like...finally angry.
Tanjiro grabs his jaw and force them to be lifted to his level, hurting Sanemi in process. "Mhh!"
"I do not want to hear anyone bad mouthing Muzan." the wind pillar can only embrace his demise as a prisoner. "Kuhh..." clench his teeth in response.
Seeing how his Marechi had finally behave. Tanjiro let out his famous gentle smile as he wipes the sweat in Sanemi's forehead.
"Good boy...~" he complimented, then undressed Sanemi's demon slayer uniform to expose his shoulders.
Once again he took a bite. "Thanks for the meal~"
"...ugh!" It hurts.
'His fangs hurting my bones...!'
Sanemi's eyes were focus on the ceiling as he was being feast on by the demon king.
'Dammit...why I had become so weak...?' glancing to the replica of Genya, his precious little brother...still smiling at him, as if he should rejoice with them as Tanjiro's blood bag. 'Someone make this stop..!' Sanemi did not want to plead to anyone...but he mentally wished.
'Hurry and get your damn Brother...! Nezuko...!'
Sanemi's blood was been taken.
.
.
.
.
.
A couple of minutes later...
"Ahh..." Tanjiro feels so refreshed. "I'm sleepy now." He rubs his eyes and looks down on Sanemi.
"You okay...?"
The white haired victim is dozing off.
Sanemi is not responding but his eyes were looking at Tanjiro and Genya.
Tanjiro brushes some wet hair strands from Sanemi's sweat.
"Hmm...I guess you are fine."
Having a good meal, Tanjiro stops hovering above the almost naked Sanemi. His chest and shoulders were pretty exposed than the usual.
You can see the wild marks of biting onto his neck then to his collarbone.
Tanjiro seems to have gotten a bit excited for giving him two different types of bite marks. Sanemi was feeling anemic that he cannot say anything at all but stares at Tanjiro who is done with him.
Done harassing him take note.
Like a good boy, Tanjiro excused himself with manners.
"Sanemi-san, if you behave yourself...I will be changing your room from this cell into an 'actual' bed." Nonchalantly Tanjiro explained his plans to 'take care' of him...his product. "Until then, Genya-kun will be here with you at this...dark murky room. Sorry about it, but I must let you know that I do not wish to make things harder for both of us~" Dizzy, Sanemi rolled his eyes until he fainted.
"Jerk..."
Tanjiro didn't feel anything, he simply walked away. The metal door closed, only him and demon guard Genya were inside.
The time to be rescued...is still far away.
That is one thing for sure for Shinazugawa Sanemi's captivity will be a despairing and shameful life style.
...
The Next Day...
Here at the master's bedroom, this place is not Uzui Tengen's if you are wondering whereabouts Tanjiro brought Sanemi and Kanao is the hideout of Muzan's mansion so that nobody can rescue them.
'They are mine now from this day forward.' Tanjiro quotes himself.
A gentle sound of fabric catches his attention.
"Tanjiro-sama...here are your new set of clothes." Say's Kyoujiro who placed a green and black checkered kimono, then a black haori with red spider lily designs. Tanjiro is currently naked and facing the mirror. He was staring at his own pretty build body as his demon markings covering his important private parts.
Just a bit, Tanjiro is concerned on how he looks like.
"This body is a kid's body..." he look at his hands,"Sanemi-san is too big for me,maybe...I should grow up?" Tanjiro actually wondered if he can shape shift like Muzan. 'I honestly did not try to explore much my abilities...but with the power of Marechi's blood, I can now do as I please without getting out of control.'
The reason why Tanjiro has not used his powers at all besides the tentacles on his back and the Blood demon art is because whenever he bothers to extract such strength he gets very hungry,he didn't want to eat human flesh or go berserk again.
Tanjiro really tried to control his desire to eat by just wanting Marechi, and that it paid off..Tanjiro was satisfied with his self achievement of etiquette.
"Thank you." Grabbing the change of clothes, he began to put them on. Kyoujiro did help him a bit but the rest was done thoroughly by his lord.
"Hmm...I like it." Tanjiro smiles at his reflection with the new clothes. 'Now next is...' Actually he is excited on something else.
"Ok, you may go now Kyoujiro~"
Hearing his first name instead of 'Rengoku-san.' Kyoujiro knows he must take his leave. He bowed before dismissing himself, "Well then, I will go back to Shinobi Clan to keep watch on Uzui Tengen if he was keeping his promise at all." Tanjiro brushes his hair as he keep appreciating his image at the mirror. He thinks he looks good and seems to be really in good mood.
"Alright then, take care~" he says to his demon guard.
Kyoujiro wanted to ask but he decided to keep it to himself. Smiling, Kyoujiro leaves with a bashful smile as a respond to Tanjiro's kindness.
"T-thanks Tanjiro-sama."
With that he disappeared.
Properly wearing clothes, Tanjiro opens the window of his room.
The sun is very bright. "What a very nice weather~!" he says cheerfully. He look behind him to see the imaginary figure of Kibitsuji Muzan in his black curly hair version instead of the albino ones. "Don't you think so Muzan~?"
The imaginary Muzan smiled back with pleasure.
(~"Yes of course~ My Rising sun~"~)
Hearing such agreement, Tanjiro made his way to visit his other prisoner...more like he abducted her.
She was suppose to be an offering flower for Muzan since he likes flowers...however it is more like she is a present for Tanjiro himself.
Unaware that Tanjiro is reminiscence how he met Kanao, how he had the urge to talk to the almost muted beautiful girl...by all means he wanted to converse with.
Tanjiro doesn't even know what it was called nor remember that event in his life.
But...
'I want to talk to her...I wonder how her voice really sounds...!'
Like an excited kid Tanjiro runs at the hallway to go to the other side of the mansion that has a japanese style instead of modern ones.
'To the flower pillar!'
.
.
.

.
.
'I heard the sound of the coin...'
CLING!
'I was the one who toss it.'
The coin flips. Both Gyomei and Kanao stares at it, like a slow motion movie...they were both anxious. Anticipating the coin in the air if heads or tail.
'I closed my thoughts and give into the old me whose not thinking anything because the thread had snapped. A place of my mind that nothing would hurt...I won't feel the suffering.'
The coin's gravity went down, It will drop off soon.
'I was not looking forward for any future...and yet,why?'
Kanao thought she had it. She thought she caught the coin. However...she was wrong.
(("What a clever way to decide on killing my friend~ Ms. Flower Pillar~"))
'Ahh, when I blocked my emotions to win the battle...why do you have to appear now?'
Out of nowhere, a familiar face...a familiar voice appeared in between Gyomei and Kanao's vision.
'He caught it again...my coin.'
Tentacles on his spine, a smiling face with markings of the devil.
'The one who set me free to use my heart...I was distracted.'
Her blurry eyes becomes clear as the bright sun greets her.
"Tan...jiro...kun?"
"I'm afraid I won't let anyone kill further of my demon guards." Kanao's stomach was punched. "Ack!" gawking, she heard him. "You will come with me~" the tentacles threw her Nichirin sword somewhere stabbing the ground.
"W-what...?" she manage to ask, only for Tanjiro to embrace her like he owns her body. "You are mine now, Demon Slayer-san~"
Everything went blank.
...Kanao opened her eyes, it was a blurry world...
'ahh...where am...?' even though it was blurry, Kanao tried to remain calm.
'I can't see...' It was actually a bright place. Kanao is having hard time adjusting her blurry vision, before it finally able to recognize a beautiful garden. '...eh...?'
Kanao is currently at the floor, there was a futon, she stretched her right arm to try and reach the beautiful garden in front of her. 'Is this heaven...?' However why is that she can smell and have her own thoughts if she was really dead? Kanao frankly never believe in heaven or hell because it hurts her head. If not with the Kochou sisters trying to assemble the broken pieces of her...she won't even slay demons. She was nothing to be exact. Nothing a still doll with nothing to be proud off.
Moving her weak body, she heard a metal dangled.
CLING...CLANG...
Froze.
"What...?" finally she was fully awake.
She was in a Japanese room, where the garden view is available. There were no butterflies but there were lots of red spider lilies. Looking at her own body, her hair was down...the butterfly pin of Shinobu and Kanae were nowhere to be found at all. She was wearing a pink kimono with purple petals patterns and a white haori.
'S-Someone dressed me...?' it seems like her wounds had been patch up.
She was bare foot.
Until she spot the most important part of her body, her abdomen there is...
"I-I'm C-Chained...?"
Yes, A chain tied to her stomach, the end of the binding chains were actually a bit long. It was enough for her to move all over the room except going out to the garden. Sitting up, Kanao is reminded of something so scary... her eyes shakes in fear. '...I-it is familiar...'
badump...badump...))
It was her pitiful childhood memories.
'T-the rope back then in my waist...'
They flashes before her. Kanao remembered her childhood where she was locked up and always restrained with either a rope or a chain.
A fist of a man that she cannot even tell if it was her father, it punched her face.
(("You useless!"))
(("Kya!"))
Little Kanao was in pain, her world was in a spiral.
Then the next thing she realize was some facts.
The stranger told her.
(("Your parents sold you, you are my property from now on!"))
The human was not smiling, he was annoyed at her.
(("You should sell but...")) the man pokes her head and Kanao remained like a doll. (("Damn you are empty brain!"))
The bald man pulled her ropes.
(("Oh well,let us stroll around to see any worthy to purchase a useless child like you."))
The village was dirty, she was dirty. The insect fly passes before her ears yet little Kanao was not disgusted.
The thread in her head had been cut off after all.
"Ah!"
Clutching her head, the old memories and the recent memories resurface..reminding who took her this time.
It mixes and it pained her. "..I-I...am..?"
Gasp in realization...Tanjiro said something about taking her. 'I was abduct by Tanjiro-kun...! So that means..these chains were his doing...?!' The trauma of being bird cage, the trauma that made her thread in head snap to become a still doll...Tanjiro had made her experience it all over again...!
'No...no...' Kanao is shaking and chanted in her head,she hugs herself and whispered to talk to herself. "I do not like this feeling..I'm...scared...?"
Then a voice boomed in her ears, "You are awake." it was the Stone Pillar Demon Guard, Gyomei.
"S-Stone Pillar!" Kanao squeaked. To think he was been there...! Gyomei ignored her somewhat terrified self...he ordered her to be 'proper'. "Tanjiro-sama will visit you soon...please behave." That was all he said then he left. "W-wait up..." faintly she protested, it was not long that she was alone.
Someone knock at the open door as a sign of respect.
KNOCK,KNOCK...
"Hello~!" Glancing at the open garden view, the sun is not affecting indeed the demon lord. "Tanjiro-kun..."
"May I come in~?"
Tanjiro asks politely, Kanao made a hesitant nod as she remained still sitting at the futon.
Tanjiro was happy to see her acknowledgement of his quest, "Alright~ I will be intruding!" making his way near to Kanao's. He greeted her.
"Hello Ms, I already know you know my name since you mention it. So if I may instead~know your name?"
Stranger.
Such a stranger.
Kanao debated if she has to or what.
"..." Kanao was...hurt to be exact. Tanjiro tilt his head though, he was offended. But then again, he can smell it...she was scared.
"Not speaking...? You are not blind and mute right...?" he cupped Kanao's cheeks to have a proper look at her faded irises.
"You...you have a poor vision. How pitiful..." shivering at the touch, Kanao decided to comply to avoid getting more touched by his curious hands. "T-Tsuyuri..." Tanjiro stops cupping her cheeks. "Eh?" wetting her own lips. Trying to hide the fear in her heart as she was bind to stay at the futon.
"Tsuyuri Kanao is my name...and..." trying to add more information, the wish to make Tanjiro come back to his senses..."W-wev'e both survive the Final Exam in Fujikasane Mountain, Tanjiro-kun." Tanjiro frowns, "Not again...?" he was annoyed, but he tried to ask her with a rather 'calm' ones but hinting his impatience.
"What proves you that am the same 'Kamado Tanjiro' all of you speak of...?"
Kanao intertwines her fingers to fidget at Tanjiro's questions.
"Because...you are you Tanjiro-kun." Tanjiro sighs.
He made an Indian seat at the floor with Kanao whose at her futon.
"Kanao-san...I do not know if someone told you already but..you look very pretty. The reason why I took you, I has no really idea...but...I wanted to be close to you. Is that okay?"
Tanjiro is being a kid.
'He changed the topic...?'
observing the demon king...seeing Tanjiro wearing such elegant and authoritative outfit. Kanao frowns back. 'He...he is different.' Taking a deep breath, she wanted to be professional in the conversation. "If you will stop your plans by taking me, That is fine by me." she declared. But Tanjiro shakes his head and denied her proposal.
"No~no~, we are not enemies! If Demon Slayers will not fight me, there is no reason to be alarmed!" he glee. But Kanao kept her serious gaze into his. "Your mind has become twisted...but Do not worry...We can save you if you will just allow us." Because of the eye contact Kanao made into his red eyes.
Tanjiro's eyes soften, 'Ahh~? What is this feeling..~?' Feeling nostalgic.
"Hmmm...Your eyes..." suddenly Tanjiro's hands made their way to invade Kanao's long hair, as if Tanjiro was fixing them, to keep them away from her face.
"Eh...?"
Tanjiro catch one of her hair strand and he sniffed on it.
Something about Tanjiro's eyes looks lustful.
"I don't know why, I want to heal them..." his other free hand cups Kanao's right cheek and press his thumb softly to them. "...but I doubt I have any power to do so...Where did you get that? You are not originally blind right?" Kanao did not wish to struggle at the moment, she let Tanjiro play her beautiful straight black hair as the other hand was caring her, onto her cheeks.
There was no reason to lie... "M-My eyes..." she gains courage."...It was to save you." Gulping for a second. "T-that I was willing to get blind." but somehow she was impatient too. She insisted her beliefs onto his. "So please Tanjiro-kun...before I completely go blind, come back to us." Her voice was disappearing..."Come back...to me..."
Hearing her broken voice, Tanjiro moves away.
He cast down his eyes to the tatami. "I'm afraid I can't. I have things to do for Muzan...the one who took care of me." even though this demon slayer was a stranger...Tanjiro is not sure why is he even casually talking to her regarding his problems with his somewhat 'father' figure...or creator...he doesn't even know what is Muzan anymore.
"No Tanjiro-kun, those are false memories...false heart."
Kanao pointed out for him. Taken back. "Huh...?"
Kanao took his devilish hands to care for them, somehow this movement...
Tanjiro saw a memory of himself cupping a girl's hand to be inspired.
'J-just now...A memory in my head...is appearing...? T-this girl is...?'
Kanao made them rest onto his chest."It is the heart that drives someone...is what you taught me, So...I will.."
BADUMP~!
ACHE.
Tanjiro's bone shakes. 'T-this urge...!'
"G-guhh..." Tanjiro's heart thumping so fast that he was blushing. 'I want to...devour her...!' Heavy breathing. Tanjiro now...is actually growling?
"U-um.." Wondering why Tanjiro pulls away violently from her touch. Kanao was worried. "T-Tanjiro-kun...?"
Tanjiro clutch his head and grit his teeth. He was irritated. "S-stop...! My head hurts...!" he says. Kanao moved closer, "H-hey...What is wrong with you?"
"Be...silent...!" he yelled at her, stiffening from the command. Kanao was shrinking back to her futon. 'S-So Scary...Tanjiro-kun is angry...at me...!' Following the command, she kept on watch to the bipolar demon king. Tanjiro is trying to collect himself. 'Calm down...calm down...I'm here to talk to her...not to harm her...Yet why? Why am so tempted...?' Tanjiro is actually debating if he should touch the girl. He never felt such thing before.
The urge to devour someone other than Marechi. Something inside him is lustful. Tanjiro lost it. "Nevermind.."
"Eh?"
Tanjiro pushes Kanao to lay to her futon. "Kyah!" it was quite an impact and it hurt her back. "T-Tanjiro-kun...?" she thought Tanjiro will eat her...But...Tanjiro's hands made it's way to cup on her chest as he was sniffing her hair. "You see...You...smell so nice~ You look so good...~Kanao...san~"
'Hold on...is he...actually...' Realizing that Tanjiro was being a beast. Kanao pleads, she whimpers...a desperate voice.
"N-no! Stop it Tanjiro-kun! Don't do this...!" But Tanjiro was...touching her. Flustered face, Kanao grit her teeth and making her hands useful to push Tanjiro away whose now hovering above her. "No...!" punching him everywhere, it doesn't work. Tanjiro won't budge. He was enjoying the art of sniffing to her hair, her ears..her neck...then his hand's caressing one of her breast.
Tanjiro's eyes glimmered into wanting... "Kanao-san~"
Kanao cries out. "TANJIRO-KUN! STOP IT!"
*gasp*
Snapping back to his senses. 'Why did I...?!'
Pulling away, and removing himself on hopping above Kanao's almost undress clothes. "S-sorry! My biggest apologies K-Kanao-san!" he was really regretting his actions. He was trying to hide his face displaying shame. "I-I did not mean to touch you improperly...I..." looking down, he was serious. "I was just...I guess am attracted to you..." hearing such confession.
Kanao focus to fix her clothes and gave him a silent treatment. "..." both of them were not doing any eye contact.
Hell yeah, so awkward.
Tanjiro was being stupid, just because Kanao did not struggle so much..he thought he can do things. "Do you not like it...?" was his dumb question.
Kanao finally looks at his face. She was unreadable. "..."
Sweat drops from the demon lord. 'She is definitely mad at me. I didn't capture her for such thing...I'm so awful.'
Tanjiro made a heavy sigh and felt really an idiot. Scratching the back of his head..."Of course you don't...We just...met I guess..." standing up. "I will take my leave-"
Kanao interrupts him. "T-that's not it Tanjiro-kun." she stood as well. The weight of the chain were noisy caused by her movement. It caught Tanjiro's attention. They were standing still...Tanjiro waited for her next words...his ears were delighted yet felt bothered. Kanao said it so clearly.
"I do not mind doing it with you...but not like this, I wanted the human 'you' Tanjiro-kun."
Jaw dropping. "Huh? You want me to become human to love me back...?"
hell broke loose.
Tanjiro was debating if he should pursue this temporary puppy love or fulfill Muzan's wishes.
"Are you being serious...?"
Not far from the room, the demon insect had accidentally heard half way of the conversation that she ended up eavesdropping.
"I-If you become h-human again...I'm ok Tanjiro-kun."
Shinobu saw the girl that Tanjiro had abduct, even though she saw her for the first time...somehow her demon eyes widen as if she saw her somewhere before.
"Kanao-san...Sorry...I..."
Seeing their lord conflicted, Tanjiro turned his back. "Sorry! I will visit you next time!"
He ran off and passed by Shinobu.
Tanjiro bumps to her and she called his attention. "Tanjiro-sama?"
But Tanjiro ignored her and run the opposite way.
"Tanjiro-sama!"
He really went away in her vision.
"...Tanjiro-sama." Left puzzled, Shinobu stepped inside the room to see the flower pillar in chains.
"Hello there." She played formal. On the other hand Kanao is totally stoned stiffed, unable to control her shock and fear...Kanao said out loud. "Mas...ter...!" Surprised that the prisoner called her master, Shinobu laughs and waves at her. "Ara~ara! What a polite pillar! Am very flattered at such position but am no master!"
The wall that Shinobu had had been lowered. 'I thought I would dislike her but she seems to be a good kid.' Is her thoughts, so she approached her. Shinobu smiles like a gentle mother. "I'm a mere servant of our Lord Tanjiro. Please do treat me as equal of your position~am also a prisoner of him!" She claps her hand in delight.
"Maybe we can be sisters!"
Kanao is freaked out though, because Kanao is lost for words...Shinobu took her hands to force an acquaintance.
Shaking the other hand that isnt responding, Shinobu assured the scared fair maiden. "What do you say~? Um..."
'...it is the same.' Kanao smiles a little though her mind was somewhere else. 'Her face...her eyes...her finger nails...they are all demonic but her voice, it is just like the last that I talked to her.' Kanao regretted it, how she should have spoke to her more often. The time she found Shinobu was eaten into nothingness, Kanao made her first battle cry. She didn't want to admit that she wasted the times that she was able to talk to the Kochou sisters. 'However this is not master...' She told herself.
Kanao did not have tears, but she was sorrowful. Somehow seeing the replica of Shinobu whose acting similar had calm her soul.
"Tsuyuri Kanao." She says, "That was the name I was allowed to choose." Staring at the eyes of Shinobu with no fear, the insect pillar was feeling nostalgic that she cannot comprehend. "Neesan."
"Ara...ma,ma...?"
The insect demon almost blink twice that so easily...'She accepted my request?' That fast? 'Or is she acting to be able to off guard me and escape...?'
Trying to play along, Shinobu cheers ahead. "Yup! My little sister from now on~ Kanao~!"
They both have a soft laugh, Kanao thought for now. 'Maybe...it was not really that bad to be here.' However of course behind the back of her head she was also. '...Maybe I can convince Tanjiro-kun to go back with me.'
Kanao had her own resolve after all. 'I promised Nezuko-chan...I will do anything in my power to give her back her brother!'
While Shinobu thinks of her is this, 'Tsuyuri...Kanao-san...her words are like poisons flowers...for our beloved Tanjiro-sama.'
"Arara~since you are cute, I will look after you!"
"O-ok."
Meanwhile the shameless Tanjiro.
"Argh!" He ruffles his own hair as he was somewhere around a hallway, still in the grounds of the old Japanese residence, Tanjiro scolds himself.
"Why did I do that to a girl?!" Hating his self. "But I've ruined the supposed to be good impression!" His eyes spotted the koi pond that had been there, he walked towards it and looks down at his reflection. "No wonder am a demon..." for some reason the koi fish created some ripple in the water that his reflection was messy now.
Kanao's words echoed within them.
(( 'I want the human you.'))
Tanjiro narrowed his eyes, he glared at his own appearance.
"...Human?"
"Tanjiro-sama?"
Turning his head to his left, there was the demon fox who survived at Fujikasane mountains when he faced the Beast and Ice pillar. "Sabito..." is all he said.
Sabito walks forward to place himself in a position of friendly chat. "Is something bothering you Tanjiro-sama?" Sabito was not wearing his fox mask, there was no need to be ashamed of his demonic features not even his scar in his right cheek. "You were able to obtain the Marechi and captured one of the pillars..." he said in a praiseful tone. "Shouldn't we be rejoicing?" He was trying to comfort him with a smile.
Tanjiro made a sad face then looks back at his non human reflection.
"I...I don't know Sabito." He placed a hand in his chest.
"I feel really strange..." then he looks at the blue sky and the flowing white clouds above. "It was suppose to be a mission success however we lost Muichiro-kun."
Sabito was silent and he kept listening. "...Maybe I was just sad that Muzan was not praising me enough of my efforts." He clutch his chest with the feelings of disappointment. "Muzan is hard to please and I feel so rejected." He was not happy. "Am really fit to be the demon king?"
It was then Sabito snaps, "What are you saying such nonsense Tanjiro-sama!?"
He almost forgot his manners as he stomps his feet forward to yell at him.
"You are our king! We love you with all our heart not because you created us! You were so kind and full of compassion! To think you accept the demons and humans to be together is a perfect set up for a king to rule all...!" He was being pushy. "Be proud as a man should be...!" Tanjiro's mouth opens, Sabito who lost control of himself jerks away. He finally realized he spoke to much honesty.
"F-forgive me Tanjiro-sama!" He knelt right away. "I was not on my place!" Tanjiro didn't say anything until he burst out laughing. "Pff...hahaha!"
Sabito's fox ears lits up in curiosity. "Tanjiro-sama...?" Tanjiro's gloominess was taken off with a fresh smile. "I do not know why do I feel like you scold me before!" He is feeling good now. "Definitely strange but thank you Sabito!" Sabito smiles back at his creator's warmness. "You are welcome Tanjiro-sama."
Little bit Tanjiro know indeed...Sabito scolded him many times in Fujikasane mountain that being gloomy is a big no-no if you are real man.
Not that...he would remember.
After this incident Kanao spend her time at her room, chains still there but she has normal meals that Shinobu and Gyomei serves her. Gyomei and Shinobu switches the guarding hour on her. Kanao is thankful that Tanjiro had not tempted to visit her after that embarrassing thing happen between them. Of course Kanao knows she should let it in the past and focus how to get closer to Tanjiro without being devoured or monopolize.
'I can do this, am a Tsukugo.'
Her words of encouragement for herself.
'Am not a flower pillar for nothing to just be pluck out of the beautiful garden.'
Seeing her reflection at the small oval shaped mirror as Shinobu behind her combing her dark long haired down version.
'I will bloom to the fullest!'
Kanao wanted to be the flower to cure Tanjiro.
...
Then here is the other captive still trapped at the dark room with chains as well binding him at the floor.
"Oniichan."
The chain made a sound, Sanemi's wrist had bruise...fault of him trying to remove it all day long when Tanjiro left him with...
"Genya..." He said weakly. The demon Genya is visibly worried, to think he even copied the 'worry rat' fave of his little brother. "Are you ok?" He asks him.
Sanemi snarls. "You are not my little brother! Fuck off!"
Genya tried to approach him despite that he might get bitten by a wild dog.
"But-"
He was able to touch the tip of his hair.
Sanemi shouted at him with such rejection.
"Do not touch me!"
Genya furrowed his eyebrows and looks like he was pouting!
"...Oniichan, why are you struggling so much? Didn't you want to die for so long?"
Sanemi froze, to think the replicated demon even knows his deepest desires or wait...'Since they are created from my memories, Tanjiro must have seen it.'
Yes, Sanemi had always wanted to die when he killed their mother.
However because Genya existed, Sanemi cling to his sanity to live and fight more demons. To add more battle scars on his open wounds, Sanemi had always wanted to die that is why he was always so wreck less with his fights. He and Genya did have an argument once when his little brother was still alive, as if it was yesterday and one of his regrets.
(("Brother...you got new wounds, can't you fight without spilling your own blood?"))
Instead of saying thank you that he was worried for him, Sanemi is irate.
(("Shut up! I fight my own battle! Also you!" ))
And grabs Genya's collar.
(("Uwah!?"))
He spats at him with such anger.
(("Who told you to become a fucking demon slayer when you do not have the talent?! You idiot!"))
He roughly pushes him off, Genya hit the nearest chair and whimpered.
(("Hnn..!"))
It hurt Sanemi that he was violent to him but then again he thought being harsh on Genya will make him afraid and eventually follow his orders to just stay behind him forever...as normal.
"Dammit!"
Sanemi curses, the demon Genya scratches his head. "Uhh..." he trailed off, Sanemi pauses and stared above him since he was still glued at the floor.
"Sorry." Genya apologizes making Sanemi felt so stupid.
"...w-what the hell is that suppose to mean?!"
Sanemi is still angry but a little bit less max volume. Demon Genya smiles that resembles the real Genya, making Sanemi waver a bit but still glaring at the fake sibling.
"...I mean, for having Tanjiro-sama feast on your blood, and you sleeping at such cold floor." Genya crouches down and pats his head. "But it's going to be ok Sanemi oniichan..." even though it was fake, Sanemi was somehow moved by his words. "We can be together from now on...who cares about the world out there?"
'Ahh...dammit...' Sanemi closes his eyes, 'I feel so tired actually...' he started to recollect his memories how all his effortless struggles had been gone down ever since he lost Genya. 'Why do I keep fighting?' The fact that he was rejected to go to the after life after all the shits of death happen to him. '...I want to rest badly.' Clenching his teeth behind his shut lips. 'Give me a break already...' Unable to hide his weakness, Sanemi's angry fist had loosen to relaxed ones.
Genya noticed it and smiles more warmly, he thought to remind Sanemi the condition to have a better life in the hands of their master.
"Oniichan, do you remember? Um know if you behave yourself Tanjiro-sama will allow us to have a real bedroom?" He giggles, "But then again, I guess that is impossible...after all!" Sanemi opens his eyes and he saw the childish smile the demon Genya had displayed.
"Niichan is very hot headed! There is noway you will behave! Hehe!"
Sanemi gulps down,'Shit...am tearing up.' This is mental torture. Sanemi's fragile heart for Genya is just too much for him to handle now.
"Gen..ya...!" He started to burst out a cry. "Grrhh...Genya!" He pathetically sobs as this wrist are still bind with chains. 'I know it is fake! I know too damn well...!' But he was having those frustrated tears of a man who couldn't protect the things he cared for.
In vain.
"E-eh!? Sanemi niichan!" Genya panics as if he was a real human being to be concern at the Marechi whose going mentally injured. Sanemi speaks to his own mindm 'Even so...just for a bit, even if this is not a miracle...I just want to experience again to hear your laughter,to eat with you and talk to you...' he was looking so tender and broken to Genya's demon form. It was like the last time he saw him before he was turned into ashes.
How vexing.
'The things that I have torn apart myself when you had grown up individually...Am a cruel big brother...!' Sanemi thought it is okay to admit it,he wanted to be honest to himself for once...it doesn't matter if it was shaming him deeply.
"Forgive me Genya..." he sobs, "I was awful to you, I should have been kinder...!"
He bit his lip to punish himself for even sharing his vulnerable side to an enemy.
"But now..." he hiccups, "Now you are gone and you do not even have any corpse that I can mourn on!" He pulled again the binds of his wrist, more bruises and more lumps at his elbows that had been hitting the cold metal bar stand that kept him in place.
"Niichan..." the demon Genya pitied him and then he had an idea to cheer him up.
"What are you saying? Aren't I existing today?" He softly wipes the tears of the defenseless Marechi. "Praise Lord Tanjiro's kindness..." he was trying to brainwash him and Sanemi isn't dumb to catch it. 'I hate this...I hate myself...I hate Tanjiro...!' Allowing the fingers of his fake little brother, he was about to loose hope in this cell of darkness and regrets.
However his ears had rung.
Ring...)))
'What...?'
Sanemi heard something.
More like he remembered someone's encouragement.
((" Sanemi-san~!"))
He gasps.
(( "It's a new beginning Sanemi-san." ))
The memory of him and Nezuko having a dramatic argument when they first saw each other.
(("I forgive you, let's try our best to finish this properly."))
The smile of forgiveness that child gave him. That sweet little sister of Tanjiro's
(("I'm sure Genya-kun would like to see his cool brother."))
Instead of hatred, she showers her with compassion.
It clicked to Sanemi's despair.
'Wait, that is right...there is still salvation for me...'
A hope was there yet to be illuminate at his fate, Nezuko's words makes sense and is applicable today.
'If I can make it up to that kid...'
He was not yet abandoned to perish as someone's captive.
The fact that he hurt the Kamado siblings and never actually treated them nicely, or even have truly ask their forgiveness.
Now is the chance to redeem himself.
'Nezuko!'
To be useful as one of the lasts remaining standing original pillar from Ubuyashiki Kagaya's batch before Kiriya's.
Sanemi had stop shedding tears as Genya is busy comforting him.
'This is my last wild wind, I will make Tanjiro go back to Nezuko. If am able to, my sins will perhaps be forgiven...to have her smile like Genya again, I would like to see it through!'
Shinazugawa Sanemi had oath himself to fall prey to the demon king in order to repay back Nezuko.
'Before I die...!'
Creak~
"Hello, is Sanemi-san awake Genya?" Speaking of the devil there he is.
Sanemi immediately glares at him,noticing Tanjiro had changed his torn off clothes into new ones that looks more mature and elegant.
Tanjiro walks inside the room.
Tap,tap,tap...
"Ahh, I'm glad you are awake. Have you eaten yet?"
He asks sweetly, but of course they were not friends at all. Sanemi did not answer but he glared more. Tanjiro kinda expect he would curse him but surprise why he was silent. "Hm? You are not going to bad mouth me...?" Walking closer and he finally reached him, like a dejavu he crouched down to his level.
"That is strange...are you alright Sanemi-san?"
Pissed off.
"Of course am not ok! I'm freaking hungry asshole!" Sanemi heaves his anger, Tanjiro had sincerely said an apology though. "Oh! I'm very sorry...!" Turning his head where Genya is standing. "Genya, why didn't you brought your brother some food?"
Genya scratches his chin, "E-ehh...you told me to stay with him so I thought..." Tanjiro shakes his head and gently scold him. "Genya...I did order you that but it does not mean you do not have a free will." Smiling, he pointed at the doorway for Genya to leave them alone. "Alright now, go fetch Sanemi-san your big brother some food okay?"
Genya panics and runs off. "R-right away!"
Then he wave to Sanemi before he had completely exit the room.
"I'll be right back niichan!"
Once again there is the heavy atmosphere, and Sanemi is not willing to be crushed this time.
Silence...
"...liar." He says. Tanjiro hums. "I did not lie."
Sanemi arch his his eyebrows, "Yes you did. You never told Genya to feed me...you purposely made me hungry didn't you...Kamado Tanjiro?" He had a small evil grin that Tanjiro's face went blank. He started, "Kamado..." Tanjiro cuts him off quickly as he crawled to him. Zooming his face with slight threat,Sanemi did stiffen at the sudden act. "Are you going to tell me again am a brother of Kamado Nezuko?" Sanemi debated what and how to answer,but before he can even bother Tanjiro gave a heavy sigh and said it himself.
"Fine, let's say that she is indeed my little sister...if so..." he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Why is she not siding with me?" Still locking Sanemi in place, he long pony tail rolled to his right shoulder and hit Sanemi's nose tip. "Siblings should get along...don't they?" The Marechi refuses to open his mouth,but his eyes held the answers he wanted to seek.
So Tanjiro traveled his fingers to his face then to his neck, the same as the first that he tried to seduce him to obey.
"Say Sanemi-san...before you eat breakfast, can I have a taste of mine~?"
He had a puppy eyes but his lips were devilishly smiling.
Sanemi click his tongue and growled. "Do I have a fucking choice?"
Tanjiro chuckles. "Of course not! Hehe!"
Then he leaned to lick his neck and whispers. "Thank you for the meal~"
CRUNCH
"Ghh...!" Sanemi press his upper and under teeth, tightening his lips to shut and his wrist to stop trembling, Tanjiro continued to suck on him.
Smooches, the wet and cold evil tongue and lips of his...those painful sharp fangs.
"Ahh..." Sanemi moaned at how Tanjiro is sucking his neck. "Aahh...!" he was feeling sensitive and anemic again.
"Tan..jiro...!" his eyes were glimmering weakness, 'Bare with it...bare with it.' He convinced himself by gripping his fist so tight that his claws made his palms bleed.
'I need to get his trust that I won't escape...This shameful position, I have to make use of it!'
"WAh~!" Tanjiro exclaimed, "You serious?!"
Tanjiro suddenly took one of his bleeding palms. Limited action on his bind wrist, he let his captor tug it. "What are you doing Sanemi-san?" Tanjiro is frowning at it. "Don't waste your precious blood...!" Then he went to lick it off and sip on it. "Hmm~let me clean it up for you..." hearing the nasty saliva, those licking sounds from a feral, Sanemi feels vulnerable and totally disgusted.
'This beast.. '
It feels like he was getting raped. Feeling so insulted and humiliated. Sanemi made up his mind as he shut his eyes tight to control his body on reacting from his harassment. 'I will bare this! For the sake of her...!'
Sanemi sees Nezuko as alike to Genya, a younger sibling that he must protect and give joy.
Sanemi is willing to be Tanjiro's blood bag.
'Even if I become his freaking pet!'
There is no dignity left but honor to repay his sins, the wind pillar makes his own blown of fate...!
Truly the torture is not yet over...
The wind flower are dying for their goals.
