Chp.31

Bro I swallowed an ungodly amount of catnip and I almost jumped off my roof 

——————————-
{Tanjiro POV}

Ugh... where am I?

My whole body is aching, why do I feel so hungry?

"Shh he's awake!"

"Shut it idiot!"

I can't see anything... my eyes are fuzzy.

I hissed in pain and rubbed my throbbing headache, a sharp pain in my jaw and hands making my limbs numb. I need to eat something, my stomach feels so empty.

I curled in a ball and clutched my stomach in pain, sinking into the soft surface where I sat.

"Tanjiro, your ok. Just take a deep breath and focus on my voice"

I jumped slightly, this voice seems familiar. I can smell something sweet all around me... it smells so nice. I want to have more, I want to taste it.

I tried to focus my eyesight but all I can feel is that smell again.

"Tanjiro don't be scared" a different voice assured me, the sudden feeling of a hand on my shoulder making me panic. What if their here to hurt me!

My body jerked back as I swiped my hand blindly in the air, the same sweet smell filling my senses again but now much stronger. My hand felt damp... liquid?

I need to taste it...

I rose my hand to my mouth, licking the substance of my fingers.

What is this? It's so amazing...

"Good isn't it little one? Do you want some more?" I snapped my head to the voice, my fuzzy vision making out the figures of three males. Each of them was quite tall, two having long hair and the other short.

I wonder who they are?

Have they come to hurt me?

I looked at the floor, seeing many different people laying still; massive amounts of red covering them.

Are they alright? Should I help them?

I backed away a little when one of the long haired figures came closer to me, grabbing the arm of a person on the floor and dragging their body towards me.

"Here, there's no need to be scared. Just take a bite and you'll feel much better" he looked down on me, familiar rainbow coloured eyes shining with a tint of madness.

I turned my nose away from the person he shoved in front of me, wrapping my arms around my legs as I burried my face into my knees.

It smells so nice. I want to eat it but why does it feel so wrong?

Muffed voices whispered amongst themselves, their husky yet comforting tone making me lift my head.

Now the short haired one was in front of me, he rose his hands in front of my face, both of them cupped too hold a small pool of crimson.

That smell... it smells so delicious. I began to feel myself drool, opening my mouth as I slurped the liquid from his hands

Suddenly my tongue felt as if it was on fire, my stomach churning awfully as it felt as if I would be sick.

I spat the liquid out immediately, shaking my head side to side to rid myself of the awful taste.

"Why doesn't he like human blood?"

"Hold on... I've got an idea"

{third POV}

Kokushibo looked at the shivering boy on the futon, many massacred humans scattered on the floor meant for Tanjiro to eat.

Akaza stepped back and sighed, cleaning his hands from the blood which he had tried to tempt Tanjiro with.

Kokushibo listened to the two's conversation as he walked up to Tanjiro with an idea.

"Maybe he had a perplex palette like you Akaza-san?"

"Tsk, how should I know. He didn't want to eat the woman you tried to give him, and the blood just now was from a man so I don't know"

Kokushibo hummed and crouched down in front of the boy, taking his claw and drawing it across his wrist slowly; collecting the dripping blood in his palm before the cut closed up.

The two upper moons watched him curiously.

Tanjiro's slitted eyes seemed to glow vividly as he drooled even more at the smell of Kokushibo's blood, the upper moon rose his palm to Tanjiro's mouth; watching intently as he licked it off his palm.

This time he didn't spit it out, growling lowly as an indication for more.

The long haired male stood up to face the others "he doesn't seem to like human blood, he likes demons."

"My my!~ I'd let Tanjiro-kun eat me any da-"

"Don't fucking finish that sentence moron!" Akaza hissed, whacking Douma on the back of the head with his teeth gritted.

"Awww you're so mean Akaza-san~" Douma wined with a pout, striding over to a human woman who was sat barley alive in the corner; cowering with fear.

"Let's test that theory out shall we?" The blonde hummed and dug his nails into his palm, forcing the crying woman's mouth open and making her swallow the blood.

It only took a little while for her to transform, when she did Douma immediately grabbed her by the neck and hoisted the newly turned demon into the air, slicing his claws along her throat and shoving her in front of Tanjiro.

His little nose twitched at the scent, deep red claws lengthening as he slowly stood up of the futon and tackled the demon woman to the floor; biting harshly into her neck and eating the chunks of flesh that he ripped off.

"Well... I think we need to tell Muzan-sama about this..." Akaza spoke up, watching Tanjiro happily devour the woman till her regenerative abilities worked no longer and she was left unmoving and mutilated.

"How unique... I think Muzan-sama will be intrigued" Douma chuckled, waving his fan in the air as Tanjiro looked up at them innocently; licking the remaining blood left off his claws.

———————————-

As for everyone else; each of them were placed in a separate room in the infinity fortress with an alive human each.

Terrified screams echoes around the fortress as everyone started to wake, each and every human being devoured except for Ubuyashiki.

Everyone gave into the hunger... except for him.

Muzan intended to keep them in the separate rooms till they had calmed down enough to see Tanjiro again; or else all hell would brake loose...

{Muichiro POV}

I don't feel hungry any more...

But... I killed this person.

I looked down at my blood stained hands, dark blue claws sprouting from my fingertips.

I watched as the dead body of a man bled out freely in the corner of my room. Why am I trapped in here? How did I get here?

Tanjiro.

Is Tanjiro ok?

I need to find him.

He'll understand me right? He'll know I didn't mean to do it.

Tanjiro please.

I felt my body start to shake, my hair falling around my face messily as my vision blurred.

"Tanjiro help me"
