Notes:

So! Another week in Quarantine… and here I am again, bringing you another update from my overworked brain. Same situation as it's been lately. I'm in quarantine and very busy. Hope you all are doing okay. Please take care of yourselves and I hope you enjoy this. Let's bring each other a little joy in the face of this crazy apocalyptic-like state.

Anyways, it's a nice BIG update this week! Almost as big as Muzan's...ego (what did you think I was going to say? ?) You get a long chapter, and a special collaboration between myself and the artist that prompted me to write this fic (by tempting my sadistic side with a simple question 'what if Muzan makes Tanjirou beg for his blood?'). Plus it'll be another double update this week!

This chapter is a little late because there was some seriously time consuming heavy editing that changed its flow and the flow of the next chapter. I was also doing a lot of writing for future chapters, was preparing art for this chapter (the color collab), and writing for the next chapter as well x_x

The next chapter would be up by tomorrow or the day after. I have something to do for my patrons of another fic, some painting, then the final edit for that next chapter but my eyes hurt rn from all the painting / drawing I've been doing and all the sinful smut I've been writing (20k words in the past few days) so I'm going to look away from the computer and take a break for a bit. NOTE: Double updates won't happen often, it's just that I've been going even harder at writing than usual ah…

Confession: I had a little too much fun with bringing out Muzan's sadism and making him tease Tanjirou in this chapter... 🐺🐥


Chapter Summary:

(PART I & II) Now that Muzan knows Tanjirou's weakness, one that he could exploit toward his main goal of breaking his strong mental will, he proceeds with the aim of subduing him so that he could mark him as one of his own. Is this plot of Muzan's a tactic that could actually work? And what about Tanjirou's escape plan? Can Tanjirou carry it out and stand a chance of fighting back at this point?

Chapter 15: The Clueless Virgin: Ignorant

.•.

.•.

N.B.: Present; Location: Muzan's Mansion… Time: Late evening⏰

.•.

"And I have a lovely prediction for you, Tanji-kun," Muzan continued as though Tanjirou had not interrupted him, "You're going to lose that virginity of yours tonight~"

xxx

"AH!" TANJIROU PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF Muzan's strong grip and swung a punch at him. "Don't talk such nonsense!" He shouted as Muzan easily dodged. "You're a guy!" He swung his other fist at him. "And even if you weren't a guy, how can I lose my virginity to a rotten loser like you?!"

"Heh~~" Muzan grabbed Tanjirou's fist before it could connect with his jaw but in a lightning fast move, the boy's other hand came up to slap him across his face.

[[SLAP]]

"…!" Tanjirou was surprised when that slap had actually connected but his elation quickly faded away when…

"Heh~~heh~~"

Muzan was laughing.

"Heh~~"

That reaction definitely was not what he had expected from him and the laughter was such a rich, buttery sound, filled with much delight that it was obvious that his Master was genuinely having fun.

"Urrrrgh...!" Tanjirou snarled as his initial surprise abated and the anger boiling inside his heart bubbled faster to the surface.

Here he was, having had his first victory against him in weeks and Muzan was laughing as though it was a big joke.

I hate him...! !

"You crazy bastard!" Tanjirou tried to hit him again but Muzan skillfully stopped this attempt in mid-air and using the grip he had on both his wrists, yanked his body close.

"Ooooph!" The air left him in a rush as his naked body slammed into the powerful solid strength that Muzan was.

"Ah my boy~" Muzan cooed, releasing his wrists to place one arm around Tanjirou's waist, while the other smoothed its way up his back. "How did it feel to finally slap me? ~"

"Muzan...! St-stop..." Tanjirou twisted as the hand making its way up his back started to make him feel warm inside. It was a weird feeling, as though his breaths were becoming labored and a heat was coiling in the pit of his stomach.

"Tell me, little pet..." Muzan started, glancing to where his fingers had reached the nape of his neck, "...Did that little victory make you happy?" Muzan's fingertips did a slow, sultry circle before moving up to bury themselves in the hair at the back of Tanjirou's head. "Did it turn you on? ~"

"What?!" Tanjirou struggled as his face was forcibly pressed to his Master's chest by the hand that was pulling at the roots of his hair. "Meht me goaf (Let me go)!" He demanded in an enraged voice that was muffled against Muzan's blue silk shirt.

"What a wild kitten~~" Muzan teased, whilst barely exerting much strength to hold on to Tanjirou. "It's even more interesting to watch your futile rage unfold when you're a demon hybrid. Now you look as wild as your attitude has always been~"

"Mmmmmph!" Unable to speak, due to the mere fact that his face was smothered in Muzan's muscled chest, Tanjirou snarled and thrashed against him.

"Ah… you always make playing with you such a fun experience~~" Muzan whispered, lowering his chin to rest it on the top of Tanjirou's head. "It continues to be such a pleasure to train you~"

"Mmm~" A whisper of a smile took hold of his lips to guide them into a sexy curve as his sub's wild hair tickled his face. He mumbled, "And what luck it is that you're a virgin~"

"Heh~" Muzan laughed, the sound deep, masculine and sensual. "Thanks for saving yourself for me~ Now your mind would be even easier to break this way~"

"…?!" Managing to free his head from the strong grip that held it, Tanjirou looked up at the smirking male and yelled, "Get away from me…!" but the Demon King only smiled wider, definitely not intending to do as he was demanding. "I didn't save myself for you!"

"You didn't? Hm…~" Muzan's intense gaze studied him as though sizing up prey for a meal. "So what are you trying to say? That you don't have feelings for me?"

"…!" Tanjirou looked at him with wide eyes, unable to tell if Muzan was actually serious about this accusation or was just bullshitting in order to frustrate him. "No!" He roared. "How many times do I have to show you that I hate you?! If I liked you, would I be trying to cut your head off?! How could that mean I like you?! Are you insane?!"

"I ask, because you're behaving in a conflicting manner~" Muzan replied casually while Tanjirou fought him like a wildcat. "There's something more below the surface, my pet, so why not allow me to test out my theory and analyze the results? ~"

"There's nothing to test! I told you that I don't like you! And I told you to let me go!" The aggrieved boy shouted. "I don't want to test anything with you!"

"Tanjirou~" Muzan dragged out his name with a musical lilt so close to his ear that a reluctant shiver of erotic delight went through Tanjirou's body. "This is worth investigating~ There's no shortage of girls...and boys in the Demon Corps so I want to know what your deal is~ Because… from what I saw in your memories, you had your own little fan group. A bevy of beauties were actually throwing themselves at you in that Butterfly Mansion place."

"They are my friends!" Tanjirou hissed, not sure why it was that he found it necessary to explain this to Muzan. Was Muzan twisting his mind so much that he was trying to negate what he was beginning to see as a possible truth in his words? "Not going after them doesn't mean I like you! It just means I'm not some vile person to make my friends uncomfortable like that! And they were just being nice to me…there were no feelings there!"

"Sure~" Muzan replied, clearly not convinced. "A demon doesn't care about morality you know. They just do what they feel like doing. So, if you weren't a vile person then, you're a vile demon now. Are you sure you haven't been having unreasonable thoughts about those friends of yours in the past twenty-four hours? ~"

"No! I'll never think about hurting my friends like that! And demon or not, I still wouldn't go after them like some weirdo!"

"Because you have feelings for someone else? ~" Muzan asked suggestively. "Someone close by? ~"

"Shut up!" Tanjirou shouted, thoroughly pissed that Muzan had slyly boxed him into a corner with his words. "I'm so sick of you…!"

"Heh~" Muzan laughed as Tanjirou growled at him. "Okay boy~ Even if you say that you're not attracted to me, the fact remains that you were so busy training to kill me that you repressed your sexual expression and failed to partake of the things boys your age should. Hm…" There was a tense pause. "In that case, since your present condition is all my fault, do let me solve that problem."

"Huh? No…stop…!" Tanjirou argued, squirming as the hand at his waist moved down to roughly grab a handful of his left buttocks.

"Ah…!" He grunted as Muzan used that grip to press his hips to his thigh. The muscles in Muzan's thigh flexed and Tanjirou almost moaned. It felt good to be pressed up against his solid yet limber strength in such a rough and thorough manner but he was feeling so many things in that moment, that he was overwhelmed enough by his fear and anger to keep the desire in his body from showing.

"No…no…don't touch me…" The words left his lips in a whine as he looked up into Muzan's hot stare as that hand caressed his butt. "Ah…!"

"When I first saw you naked, I was surprised by how little your body was," Muzan told him. "All those thick bulky clothes you used to wear really did create quite the illusion~" He laughed. "Undressing you…removing your Haori, uniform, leg bands and socks while you were unconscious was quite an experience. Made me feel like I was playing with one of those Matryoshka dolls from Russia. You went from looking deceptively big to small and cute~"

"H-hey…" Tanjirou was so frightened that he was not in the right frame of mind to notice that Muzan had just referred to him as being 'cute'.

In his reality, he was trapped in a very disturbing situation. He had been to many places, faced down many demons and felt fear and anxiety countless times. But none of those experiences had unsettled him as much as this moment. This moment engendered a fear of a different kind. Here Muzan was, touching him in a place that no one ever had, while looking at him with such a hungry and focused stare.

And the way he was talking about investigating his possible romantic feelings for him made a chill take root in his spine.

I don't have romantic feelings for this bastard…!

Why is he doing this to me?

Is this the torture session he was talking about carrying out?

Is he intending to tease me with this stupid accusation and make me as uncomfortable as possible in order to mess with my head?

"No…!" With great effort, Tanjirou tried hard to pull away but was easily kept pressed tight to the other's body as the Demon King's hand continued to idly caress him.

"And while you've been vacationing here," Muzan went on, "You've lost a lot of weight in this past month. Your body has gotten more lithe, tight and firm…" In his quest to actively observe this, his other hand slid down the struggling boy's back to join in groping his buttocks.

"Ah…!" Tanjirou gasped, blushing hotly at Muzan's investigation.

"Your ass is still nice and firm, though," Muzan muttered at last, seemingly pleased by his analysis, but his hands remained on Tanjirou's backside so that there was now one palm on each cheek.

"M-Muzan…!" Tanjirou started hitting Muzan's shoulders harder to get him to let go but Muzan only smirked, giving him a perverted leer as he asked, "Can you really handle sex with me?"

"S-sex?"

"Yes~" Muzan chuckled darkly, as both hands squeezed Tanjirou's butt cheeks hard and pulled him up against his body again. "I'll spread your hips really wide you know."

"No…no…s-stop…!" Tanjirou was slightly gasping now. "Hnnn…" Muzan had strategically placed his left leg between his legs to separate them, and whenever his body was yanked close and his groin connected with the older male's hard, thickly muscled thigh, a shock of pleasure would go through him and a heat would flash across his face.

"Ahh...!"

At that sound, Muzan gazed down at the boy pressed up against him. His fingers were bruising his firm, smooth butt cheeks but Tanjirou's struggle had eased up quite a bit as though he was concentrating more on battling his internal response to him.

And it was clearly a fight that he was losing.

With lips slightly separated, Tanjirou's beautiful gem eyes were fixed on his stare with a disoriented glare.

His nostrils were flared and he was trying so hard to fight his pleasure response that it was almost pitiful.

A positively wicked grin creased Muzan's lips. Why? Because from Tanjirou's reactions to him, he could foresee that he would be the winner for their battle tonight.

Yes. Muzan Kibutsuji was a shrewd demon. He was not the Demon King by name alone. He did nothing without an overarching well thought out plot, had an excellent skill for reading people and with this situation too, by initiating this little act between them, he was gauging Tanjirou's reactions and carnal knowledge so that he would know how to act later on.

And his analysis told him the facts: a virgin like Tanjirou, who had zero awareness about the fact that at this moment his body was careening toward his first orgasm, would not be able to resist anything that he did to him.

If his budding arousal was already making him this helpless and pliant, Tanjirou would not be ready for the kind of sex that he wanted to have with him. Surely, he would be driven to the edge of sheer madness after he taught him all that he could make his body experience.

After his virginity is stolen, he would be so devastated that he would become a puppet that craves to serve me.

Muzan's grin settled into a condescending smile as his grip tightened to the point that his bruising fingers were cutting his skin.

A shaky, poorly concealed moan escaped Tanjirou's lips and Muzan looked down at how the boy's hands, that were once slapping at and pounding against his chest, were now balled up into little fists and grabbing at the material of his shirt's sleeves.

Hm~

And no matter how hard Tanjirou was fighting, his body retained its responsiveness to his touch, muscles flexing beautifully as he forced him to ride his thigh to the tune he had set.

"Ah…" Tanjirou grimaced.

Aah…

There was a sweet, burning sensation between his legs that exacerbated the pleasurably coiling knot in the pit of his tummy.

What is this…? He thought in a panic as he was pressed up impossibly close to Muzan's body again. Muzan pulling him forward like this had become something of a rhythm and with the sliding of the front of his hips against Muzan's rough wool pants, and the smooth silk of his shirt chaffing over his naked chest, Tanjirou wanted to…

Ah…

Ah…

"And Tanjirou…~"

Muzan was talking but Tanjirou was hardly processing anything that was being said to him. All he was aware of was the tingling sensation in his body, the fingertips biting into his skin, and the weird urge he was having to rest his head against Muzan's chest while his body was being moved like it was.

Ah…

It was not that he had suddenly become sentimental and wanted to cuddle him. He just wanted to hide his heated face away from the way Muzan's gaze was hungrily analyzing him.

"…and it's so good you're still fat here." Muzan stopped grinding Tanjirou's hips to his thigh and slapped his butt hard.

[[Slap]]

"Do you like that? ~" He demanded as Tanjirou yelped. "Do you like it when I slap you like that? Or do you prefer it if I hit you much harder? ~"

[[SLAP]]

He hit him again and as Tanjirou flinched from that stinging slap that echoed in the silence of the bedroom, his tail perked up and Muzan heard his barely concealed throaty moan.

Yes, although Tanjirou did not consciously realize it, he was totally into that kind of thing.

Oh...so he's turned on by rough play...~

"…~" A thoroughly pleased expression diffused over Muzan's face at this and he bent to whisper near his reddened ear, "You know...I like things like that… I like a lot of weird things…"

"Hey, stop this now! Are you some kind of creep?!" Tanjirou hissed, finally regaining his composure to push at his chest hard. Muzan's erotic whisper had completely sobered him up and his crippling arousal disappeared as his spirit regained the gumption to fight.

"Move...!" He shouted.

"Let's do lots of weird things together, Tanjirou…" Muzan continued in his same teasing and delectable accent that was driving Tanjirou crazy. "It will be no different than fighting…it will be—"

"Argh…!" Tanjirou's hands reached up, palms pressing against Muzan's chin to push him away as the Demon King bent to nuzzle his neck. He even tried stomping Muzan's foot but his Master was completely unaffected and watched him thrashing about with a calm expression and both hands still firmly attached to his buttocks.

"I told you to stop it!" Tanjirou shouted. "Why are you being so weird?! Stop touching me!"

"But didn't you just ask me to kill you?" Muzan asked, whilst grabbing a lump of skin on Tanjirou's butt between his thumb and index finger and twisting it hard. As Tanjirou gasped from the pain, he went on, "You told me that you 'don't want to be my anything,' that you want me to 'just kill you and get it over with'."

"That…!" Tanjirou started. "I didn't mean that you should do something weird—"

"Hm~" Muzan narrowed his eyes on him. "You can die from sex with me you know. You didn't specify the method that you wanted to die by…so how about we continue where we had left off in your dream? How about I kill you with pleasure?" He smirked. "Although…since you're a demon now, you might actually survive ~"

"W-what…?!" In the month that Muzan had had him there, the demon had never once looked at or tried to touch him inappropriately—even while he cleaned his body or tied him up naked on the bed to punish him—so all this was new to Tanjirou.

It was as though the normally restrained older male was either replaced with a new, lecherous one or was finally showing his true intentions.

Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?!

And why does he keep talking about having sex with me?

He can't be serious!

That can't be what he wants to do with me?!

I'm a boy!

That's right… He has to be lying. He's not serious!

No….no….no… Tanjirou had entered into a state of utter denial. The Demon King was basically groping his naked butt and a minute earlier he was forcing him to dry hump his thigh, but he was convinced that the other demon was just doing this to stress him out. There was no way he actually intended to follow through with having sex with him.

"You have turned out to be quite a surprise," Muzan said. "Not only do you have a powerful will, you're one of those very rare people who are resistant to demon blood. Your body fought my influence, but in the end I won the first stage because your mind has weakened."

"…" Tanjirou said nothing in response to that as he was too busy trying to focus breathe in order to calm the raging arousal in his body. His Master's mockery was the least of his concerns at this point.

"Now you're a hybrid of sorts," Muzan went on. "Because of our compatibility, your body obeys but your human brain, due to your stubborn willpower and resistance, will keep rejecting me and fighting your body's desire. I will win, though. How much can your brain fight the immense pleasure and stress before it gives in? I will break your spirit and put my mark on you."

A vision of Tanjirou, broken, beautiful and servile entered his mind.

Hm~

"Ah~~" Muzan sighed happily at the sudden thought he had had. "And how about after you're marked?" He asked. "Will you still fight me or will you turn into my obedient little kitty? I want to see that." A wicked laugh punctuated his ridicule. "I've been alive for a thousand years and have seen it all, so work hard to show me something interesting tonight, ok?"

He pressed his body closer to him and Tanjirou hissed, as though suddenly made aware of his presence again.

Not this again…!

Whenever he touches me like this my body feels weird…!

"Muzan—"

"Tanjirou," Muzan interrupted, whilst looking down at the face of the distraught and blushing boy. "You've already shown yourself to be capable of surviving the large volume of blood I gave you last night. No one has ever been able to do that before and I'm intrigued with the thought of what you can become~"

"But before you get to the point of becoming my loyal servant, I'm going to enjoy your ruination. I want to see what else you can endure taking into your body[1]~" A perverted smirk tipped one corner of his lips upward. "I want to see the reactions of one who has persisted in retaining the full memories and moral code of who he was, when he sees what's to come~"

Muzan's voice lowered.

"It's time for stage two to commence. I wonder if that will be the thing to break you? ~"

"What do you plan to—" Tanjirou pushed at him "—do with me?"

"Heh~" Muzan was wearing an evil smile. "Now that you're a demon I can finally upgrade my methods of torture. I can fuck you the way I want to without killing you[2]," he said in a crude, hot whisper.

"You keep refusing the offer to become my Moon, but I'm going to break your mind and mark you as mine," Muzan promised. "Think you can handle cumming on the dick of the one who killed your family and friends? ~"

"…? ? ?" Tanjirou could not make any sense out of what Muzan was saying to him. To him, it was all gibberish or a language he could not speak. "What?![3]"

.

"I can fuck you the way I want to without killing you…Think you can handle cumming on the dick of the one who killed your family and friends?"

.

'Fuck'…? 'Dick'? 'Cumming'…?

He had never heard any of those words before.

What is that?

But then slowly, the pieces of the puzzle started coming together in his head.

.

"A virgin, hm?"

"Can you really handle sex with me?"

.

Sex…?

Does 'fuck', 'dick', and 'cumming' have something to do with sex?

Everything he's saying right now all sounds dirty, but what do those words mean?

And why does he keep saying that he wants to do that stuff with me? Why is he acting like I'm a girl?

"..." The deep furrow in his brow was evidence that Tanjirou's thoughts were becoming more troubled.

Men don't have sex with each other, so he's definitely lying about planning to have sex with me…

"Ugh..." Tanjirou was beginning to get a feeling that he was completely oblivious about an obvious fact but he had no idea how to know what that fact was and this in turn was stressing him further.

Ah don't think about this too much, Tanjirou...this is exactly what he wants. He's definitely messing with you again.

Ah damn...I can't help but worry. I'm getting really stressed about all this…

"We're going to do the deed," Muzan explained gruffly, seeing that Tanjirou was not fully processing what was going to happen to him. "I know you're a country boy, but this level of ignorance and denial is a bit much, don't you think? Was selling coal and trying to kill me all you ever thought about in your life? ~"

"…!" Tanjirou stopped struggling and looked up at him with a pronounced glare as he bristled from those insults. "I'm not in denial!" He said through clenched teeth as his glare foretold all the ways he wanted to kill Muzan for humiliating him like he was. "You're being a weirdo! You're lying and saying things I don't understand! And you keep touching my butt!" Tanjirou tried to wiggle out of his hold but Muzan was still holding on to him securely. "Normal people don't do stuff like that!"

"'Lying'? 'Normal people'?" Muzan frowned before his expression evened out. "Ah…I see…" A second passed before he replied, "You're one of those clueless virgins who only know the basics about sex. You don't know that there are males who have sex with each other, don't you, Tanjirou?"

"Ah…." Tanjirou froze. "They...what…?!"

"That's why I've been touching you like this. That's why your body has been reacting to my touch too. I'm not lying at all. I want to have sex and your body wants me to put my dick in you." Muzan patted his butt. "'Fuck' is a slang for sex, 'cumming' is a slang for an orgasm, which is the height of pleasure that people reach during sex, and a 'dick', also known as a 'cock' is a slang term for the penis of a male. In the same way the male's penis gets erect to go into the female, it happens like that between males too[4]~"

Muzan was completely unmoved to be talking about this with Tanjirou and the look on his face remained placid and unchanged as though he was telling him what they were going to have for dinner.

"S.E.X," Muzan sounded out.

"…!" Finally, it hit Tanjirou as understanding dawned on him with the intensity of a sun he had not seen or felt in thirty-one days.

"Wh-wh…what…?!" Tanjirou's lips separated, then closed, then opened again and remained that way for a good minute before he started to crumble.

"No…no…" He frowned up at Muzan's stern face with a glare. "How would that even work?! I'm not a woman…!"

"Heh~" Muzan laughed at this. "Nice to see that you've already put yourself in the role of the one who will be receiving~~" He grinned. "So what if you're not a woman? I don't care. That won't stop me. I'll show you exactly where my dick will go~" His hand smoothed over Tanjirou's butt cheek. "I will mark my territory all over you. Nothing has worked to break your mind completely, but our session for tonight will be very...invasive. It will be implicitly focused on seeing if you can hold up to being made into a little whore. I'll give you so many orgasms your brain will self-destruct~"

"…" When all the emotion left Tanjirou's face and he stood stock still, with his mouth slightly agape as though he was trying to do mental math to calculate the area of the room without the bed and sink while factoring in what was going to take place next and the trajectories to defend against it, Muzan took that as an opportunity to act.

"...~" Pinning him with a focused stare, he released him, moving to unbutton his waistcoat. "You've been fighting me so much so far, but remember this, Tanjirou, the more you fight me, the worse this will continue to get for you until I get what I want. Your loss is pretty much guaranteed, so I suggest that you behave yourself." His sadistic expression suddenly seemed to be ten times more feral with wild eyes that anticipated his submissive's destruction. "If you do not heed my warning to submit peacefully, but choose to be troublesome, the loss of your virginity would be an experience you will never forget..."

"...?!" Tanjirou gasped as he felt a sudden tension in his muscles.

What...?!

Ah….

His initial confusion eased into a fearful sort of understanding. He knew what this was. It was the familiar sensation of having been placed under an active compulsion to freeze his movements.

No...!

His entire body was warm and he was unable to do anything other than move his eyes, swallow, breathe and blink. Muzan was definitely taking precautions in case he wanted to run.

Still, Tanjirou tried to overcome it.

"...?"

This one is stronger than the last…

But...I can't give up on my escape plan! !

"…! !"

He failed.

There must be a way to beat this...There must...!

Ugh...why...why can't I move?! Why is this so strong?!

Argh...

I'm exhausted...

Fighting Muzan's compulsions was difficult as his body belonged to his cruel Master and wanting to do the opposite of what it was commanded to do always took a lot of his energy.

Ah... Listlessly, his tired gaze went to Muzan as the Demon King's words went through his head,

.

"So, you've really never kissed anyone before?"

.

H-he…wants to kiss me…

.

."We're going to have sexbut our session for tonight will be very...invasive. It will be implicitly focused on seeing if you can hold up to being made into a little whore."

.

He…wants to have sex…With me...

.

A crude image of Muzan laughing at him filled his mind.

"S.E.X."

.

Sex...

.

Sex…?!

.

This can't be real…!

And, as he stood stunned, staring blankly at Muzan as the Demon King stared back at him, his situation brought back the memory of a certain discussion he had had with his mother a few years earlier.

I can't turn back, I can't return home
There's a deep, yawning darkness
A tender sound that makes you want to cry

Next Chapter Title: The Clueless Virgin PART II: Love

Next Chapter Teaser: Things intensify?

END NOTES SECTION- Where the Author discusses (makes fun of) their characters' actions from that chapter

(NOTE...I don't try to be funny in these notes. These are actual, genuine things that go through my mind while I'm editing. Tbh I'm full of sh*t):

-1 '"Undressing you…removing your Haori, uniform, leg bands and socks while you were unconscious was quite an experience. Made me feel like I was playing with one of those Matryoshka dolls from Russia."'

Author: Matryoshka doll …lol. Muzan actually compared him to one of those xD. And since the Muzan in this story has traveled all over in his quest for the Blue Spider Lily, it is natural that he would be familiar with the Russian nesting dolls. It's this:

(SEE TWITTER FOR IMAGE)

Big-in-clothes-Tanjirou, to teeny-tiny-Tanjirou… lolol (wow...I've been subconsciously using quite a few alliterations in this chapter) I'm laughing…

-2 'He hit him again and as Tanjirou flinched from that stinging slap that echoed in the silence of the bedroom, his tail perked up and Muzan heard his barely concealed throaty moan.'

Author: Tanjirou's brain is like 'Noooooooooooooo...!' but Tanjirou's demon body is like 'Slap me harder, Daddy!'

b) "I like that… I like a lot of weird things…"

Author: Groping his butt, whispering in his ear, saying crude and perverted things and making Tanjirou dry hump him - I just love how Muzan went full creep-mode in this chapter. And picture this; throughout the whole thing, Muzan is totally straight-faced lmao no shame. Run, Tanjirou...he's not lying...he's into some freaky things :o

-3 '"Mmmmmph!" Unable to speak, due to the mere fact that his face was smothered in Muzan's muscled chest, Tanjirou snarled and thrashed against him.'

Author: Get rekt Tanjirou. Suffocate in those big bara boobies (in case you're confused, 'bara' is a genre of gay love (like how yaoi is a genre) where the men's bodies are hypersexualized to show off their appealing nature. The men's bodies aren't slim and effeminate (as far as I've seen) and usually there are lots of big, nicely (or not so nicely) muscled chests, so I'm using this word like an adjective in the context of describing Muzan's beautiful pecs and the fact that Tanjirou is dwarfed by and getting a face full of manly boobs).

b) '…and the weird urge he was having to rest his head against Muzan's chest while his body was being moved like it was. It was not that he had suddenly become sentimental and wanted to cuddle him. He just wanted to hide his heated face away from the way Muzan's gaze was hungrily analyzing him.'

Author: Are you sure about that, Tanji-kun? Seems like you might be developing a fetish of wanting to bury your face in that big bara chest. No shame in that.

-4 '"I know you're a country boy, but this level of ignorance and denial is a bit much, don't you think? Was selling coal and trying to kill me all you ever thought about in your life? ~"'

Author: You forgot to mention Nezuko. He also thought about Nezuko-chan as well.

-5 'his lips separated, then closed, then opened again and remained that way for a good minute'

Author: Tanjirou was definitely doing the Pikachu face here lol…(SEE TWITTER FOR IMAGE)

I love it when Tanjirou makes those meme faces xD My other favorite one was when he did the taxidermy monkey pose.

b) '"I'll give you so many orgasms your brain will self-destruct~"'

Author: Not a bad way to go imo...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-6 'as understanding dawned on him with the intensity of a sun he had not seen or felt in thirty-one days.'

Author: I'm beginning to feel like Tanjirou in this quarantine. This is like his 'vacation' in Muzan's mansion, except without the torture and Muzan :(

(P.S. I laughed when Muzan said "And while you've been vacationing here...You've lost a lot of weight in this past month. Your body has gotten more lithe, tight and firm…"' Um, no Muzan. You're not Jenny Craig and this isn't some condo in Malibu that Tanjirou WILLINGLY went to to get a beach body.)

-7 'Pinning him with a focused stare, he released him, moving to unbutton his waistcoat.'

Author: Woooohooo striptease Muzan! *Throws a dollar at him* Take it all off!

*Sexy music starts playing*

b) "If you do not heed my warning to submit peacefully, but choose to be troublesome, the loss of your virginity would be an experience you will never forget..."

Author: J-just...listen to him, Tanjirou. He isn't joking. When a sadist gives you a warning, don't go ahead and cross them...

-8 'Sex…This can't be real…!'

Author: Once again, I can hear the Virginity Alarm blaring. (SEE TWITTER FOR IMAGE)

DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!

He escaped Shinobu, but can he escape Muzan? x'D


REFERENCES / IMPORTANT FOOTNOTES:

[1] "'…I'm going to enjoy your ruination. I want to see what else you can endure taking into your body ~"' Author: When you see what he's talking about, you'll understand why he's curious about whether Tanjirou can 'ENDURE' it…

[2] '"I can fuck you the way I want to without killing you"' Author: Geez! What do you plan to do?!

[3] The Clueless Virgin explained: '"…" Tanjirou could not make any sense out of what Muzan was saying to him."' Author: I know Tanjirou seems to be super clueless to the obvious, but that's only because we're seeing his experiences in this story through our perverted eyes and we know what Muzan is up to. It's like watching a movie where there's a bomb under the table and we're screaming at the protagonists to get out because it's sooo obvious that they're in danger but they are clueless because things seem normal, albeit a bit tense. Here, from Tanjirou's perspective, he has only received very basic education about the birds and the bees (aka sex) and while he is aware that Muzan has been touching him inappropriately since that tongue-in-the-ear incident in Chapter 9; he thinks that Muzan is just stressing him out and talking about sex with the goal of mentally frustrating him. And in his opinion, Muzan trying to stress him now is no different from how he's been mentally stressing him for the past 31 days.

And added to that he is a pure, gentle soul who doesn't know the more colloquial terms in sex like 'fuck', 'dick', and 'cumming', or even what an orgasm is. When he lived in the mountains, all he did was work and care for his family and when he set out after their death, all he did was train / fight demons. Sure, he worked in the Red Light District, but I figure that he's more the type to stay focused on his mission than focus on any crude words that were being passed around.

And in this story, he is not aware of the existence of gay love / sex. Also, as seen in canon he is just plain ignorant to others' interest in him (there are so many ppl whose lives he had an impact on and doesn't realize it). Then, let's touch on the subject of how little he focuses on himself. To Tanjirou, his goal is of greater value than himself. Remember how Giyuu and Obanai in the Dimensional Fortress arc had to shout at him to stop worrying about others and consider himself for once? I think this and many other examples through the series is evidence as to how little he values / thinks about his well-being esp when comparing it to something he believes he HAS to do. Another example is how he was broken and still went to the Rengoku household to deliver his sensei's final message to his brother and father. As the eldest in his family, Tanjirou's more the 'caretaker' type that's accustomed to being responsible for / serving / focusing on others etc., while mostly ignoring his own needs. It has become so much of a habit that that's just his modus operandi now. And then his goal to kill Muzan only made this behavior worse. Just like Muzan focuses too much on the Blue Spider Lily and a Demon that can walk in the sun, Tanjirou focuses too much on turning Nezuko back to human and killing Muzan. So to be in a position here with Muzan where the focus is 100% on him, where he is forced to come out of his one-track-mind 'kill Muzan' way of thinking, and where his body has a strong need that it wants Muzan to satisfy, one which he doesn't quite understand yet cannot ignore, he's at a loss. There's a lot he'll have to learn and get used to. Hence the reason why I've tagged this story with 'clueless virgin' but don't worry, Muzan will help to teach him about everything that confuses him :)

[4] 'In the same way the male's penis gets erect to go into the female, it happens like that between males too' Author: Muzan is explaining it in such a basic way so that Tanjirou could understand. Kind of like 1+1=2. Lol. It has begun…Muzan's sex education. This is where the story tag, 'Tanjirou Gets The Sex Education He Did Not Get In The Corps' comes into effect.


A SPECIAL NOTE (Contains mild spoilers for Manga chapter 201 in the second and fourth replies):

GUEST:Ohoho! I know the artist you're talking about! Ah yes...Such great art! The mouths in this story aren't based off of those, but it's hella close to the experience our boy will be having!

REN :Hello! Yep you're right, putting in all these details and settings takes time but it's a venture well worth the effort, because when all the puzzle pieces start falling into place, all the previous foreshadowing I've been doing will make sense. I'm happy that you appreciate it! That makes me happy and makes all this work feel enjoyable! Yay! I'm happy you like demon!Tanjirou's description! He's so cute! And LOL! You predicted Tanjirou's reaction so well! The poor boy did not appreciate Muzan's bluntness at all and here Muzan is again being even MORE blunt! Now Tanji-kun's gone into shock haha.

Awww I'm so grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to not only check this out, but to leave such a nice review. It's awesome that this helped to make you feel better and I hope that you got some rest! Thanks for the well wishes. I wish you the same! Please take care of yourself! I will do my best to take care.

Haha I wish this social distancing came with a Muzan! And aww yeah, poor Tanjirou is going to do his best to keep his mind strong. He'll be fighting so hard in the next few chapters that it's actually sad tbh. And you're welcome! Have a great day!

SERA REGALO: Hm great new Manga chapter, huh? I was at the edge of my seat! Sadly, we still are seeing no Nezuko...hopefully she won't be running for 11 chapters again :c

TANAKI NOVA: Hi! Welcome back! I hope that work isn't too hard on you. Ah I loved reading those reviews you left! Hehe seems like the Mangaka was redeeming themselves with chapter 201. Makes me wonder if they changed the route they were planning. 200 really felt like an end (albeit a bad one) but somehow 201 feels like really sharp turn. I'm very happy for it tho, but I'm also very cautious. I just know that the mangaka will pull a sneaky on me so I'm not going to put my heart out there for them to stomp on it...no way! I learned my lesson from the Rengoku arc ughhhh. Love all that you said about Muzan's character and how Tamayo got him so wrong. I agree 1000%! That's why I say that this 201st chapter feels like a make-up chapter. I'm guessing that a lot of fans weren't happy about the giant baby humiliation so the mangaka showed that he was inside the thing and also gave a reason for the baby transformation. Also, the wind pillar was my favorite part too. He legit woke up like 'fuk' ahahahaha. Poor guy!

' Muzan wants to make Tanjirou scream until he passes out... Damn Tanjirou doesn't know how lucky he is' - RIGHT?

' The sadism will go wild in this story? Good...I need it. Give our demon king vengeance.' -YES! The vengeance that he rightfully deserves! But I'm telling ya...you might actually feel sorry for Tanji-kun hahahaha

You're so right! Muzan is totally going to enjoy breaking his mind and (possibly) building "an obedient moon from the pieces"

I laughed at how vicious you were here: 'The final chapter should have Upper Moon Tanjirou killing his friends that survived. Being completely broken in and Muzan's lover. The point where he would never even think to question Muzan's will' --oooh man I love your sadism so much!

Thanks again for all your reviews and for always being so sweet! Try and get some rest, okay?

GUEST: Lolol waiting for Nezuko to be done with the running is giving me war flashbacks from waiting for Naruto to respond to Hinata's confession. I'm beginning to think that all Mangakas are sadists and they enjoy torturing their readers. When Nezuko was done running I was like 'finally' but then a few chapters passed and they showed her running again -.-

'Those descriptions though! They're so detailed, idk if should be embarrassed, horrified, or intrigued. For Tanjirou.' Be all of the above! Especially when chapter 17/18/19/20 rolls around. After writing those, I did a lot of self reflection about why I was motivated to write Muzan being so sadistic. It was fun tho...

You're welcome! I'm happy that these updates helped you! There'll be another set of fast updates this week!

GUEST: Ahahaha what do you mean? Everything has hit the fan with the last chapter, now everything is just getting worse and WORSE

GUEST: Ooh sheet I read the chapter! Biggest shock ever, although I was expecting it as one of the outcomes, t'was still a shock! I'll give my full thoughts in the next update :o

GUEST: Hello! I usually update weekly but + 2-3 days if there's heavy editing that changes the flow of the chapter, if I'm doing a lot of writing for future chapters, if I'm preparing art for that chapter, or if I'm doing a double update as well ;D

Have a good day and thanks for reading, everyone!
