YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE DEAR Y/N~" A chilling voice announced. It was December 27th, a day before your 10th birthday. You were helping around the village when you had a sudden urge to go back home. After a bit of internal debate, you decided to listen to your instincts and started to walk home.

After around 15 minutes of walking, you arrived back at the clan compound but something was different.

It was quiet. Too quiet.

You belonged to the L/N clan, a clan of demons that resided in the Village Hidden in the Clouds. The L/N's were usually quite loud, so it was a bit suspicious when there was a silence looming over the compound.

You stuck your nose in the air and sniffed, your clan had heightened senses seeing as they were demons. You closed your eyes, focusing on the smell until you caught the scent of something unpleasant. The scent of something that made your heart drop all the way down to your stomach. The scent of blood.

Your eyes widened. You rushed to your house, glancing at the dead bodies of other clan members along the way.

Tears welled up in your eyes as you saw the expression on all of their faces, looks of desperation, anger, and fear were imprinted on their features, stained in their own blood as they lie lifeless on the ground.

You had finally arrived at your household when you saw it.

Your house walls. Stained with blood. Your family's blood.

You were in a state of shock. Your breath hitched, hands shaking as you looked over to see your parents, lying on the ground motionless, your mother holding little b/n in her arms in a protective manner.

Y/N POV:

'Father... Mother...' I thought, looking at them with glossy eyes. 'But who could've done this? Father is our most powerful clan member, so who-'

"Hello, darling~"

I turned to see a man in a tuxedo, curly hair and bright red eyes, pupils slits. His Akumagan* activated in its first form.

"Muzan..?" I asked shakily. He was a distant relative of ours and was often away on trips, but he would visit us every few months and give us gifts he collected from far-away lands. I had thought of him as someone dear to me before, but now he was like a completely different person.

"Hm, I didn't expect you to be back yet... how troublesome." He said, looking down at me.

"Why did you do this?" I asked, trying to calm myself. He was clearly more powerful than me so it would be best not to make any rash decisions.

"Straight to the point I see... Well, I suppose there's no point in lying now," He started "I did it to prove I was superior to you measly demons"

"You- You killed everybody, so you could prove to yourself that you were superior..?" I asked him, disbelief clearly laced in my voice.

"Yes. I did," He told me, sending me a closed eye smile.

"I-I don't understand, WHY? I-I-!" I screamed at him. I was cut off before I could do anything. He pulled out a bamboo muzzle and advanced towards me. In one swift movement, he attached the muzzle onto me and punched me in the stomach, sending me backward.

"Ah, Ah Ah~ I don't think it's wise to yell at me, considering your current predicament. Also, I infused that muzzle with my chakra so you can't remove it. Think of it as a gift from your 'uncle' " He says menacingly, sending me another eye smile

I clutched my stomach, "MMM MM MMM!" I tried yelling, but the muzzle wouldn't allow me to form proper sentences so it came out as a high-pitched humming sound. I looked back at the traitor, blinking for a second. When I opened my eyes, I noticed something that made my heart hammer in my chest. He was gone. I darted my eyes around frantically in a search for him until I felt a presence behind me.
