Nezuko saw them, she knew right away she had to calm down first, then she pushed Muzan into the hut.

- What are you doing?

- The villagers are coming, could you hide for a moment?

She smiled when her two arms trying to push him into the hut, then closing the door before she could calmly step out.

- Is it this place?

- Yes, I'm sure about that!

Nezuko stood in front of two people of the villagers that were talking together, she smiled slightly, tilted her head slightly and politely asked them:

- What can I help you?

- This afternoon I clearly see that the bandit who is wanted outside stands talking to some people, but also threatened to kill me if I talk too much! Surely he is still here, cause I saw him bandaging very serious wounds!

- What are you saying? How can I protect a bandit without telling everyone?

Nezuko's eyes widened, her gentle voice intentionally gave off some anxiety to accompany her in the negative.

- Stop talking!

A man shouted at her, raising the torch high with the intention of letting his flame touch her flesh, burning mercilessly. And another men shouted:

- You're just a trash slave sold from the opposition, don't be s-

The men were shouting suddenly be silence strangely, leaving a static space from the trembling of those around them. In an instant, he and the person who was speaking was unseen from a knife coming straight, piercing through his throat from behind.

Blood falls, people around are shocked. Nezuko also widened her eyes, looking at the body that was killed in an instant standing still, slowly falling to the cold ground.

Then, the door to the hut opened, a tall men came out, but his face was as dark as possible.

- So, begin the attack earlier than expected.

- Akaza-dono doesn't find that interesting~

- Dare to let off insults Nezuko-sama is worth it.

The conversation between two men was intentionally loud, they rode their horses and carried swords.

Muzan stepped forward and put his arm around Nezuko's shoulder, hugging her to him, and then snapped his fingers, immediately as a sign, a horse came with a sword.

- BANDITS!! BANDITS ARE HERE!!!

- FIRE...HELP! THERE ARE FIRE HERE!!!

- MY CHILDREN ARE DEAD, HELP!!!

Screams roared through the sky, the limbs are now only big fires burning and people are constantly screaming in misery, crying and pleading to those who ride horses carrying knives.

- M-Muzan-sama...?!

Nezuko froze while watching the scene before her eyes right now. But a hand gently rested on her bright pink eyes, covering everything so she could see nothing.

- Shh...

His index finger rested on her small lips, whispering 'shh' next to Nezuko's ear. Then, he glared at a bunch of people who dared to insult Nezuko.

- Let them die by the worst way.

- Yes, Kibutsuji-sama!

One of the two men that still been here with their horse laughed, and the revenge for their 'future lady' resumed.

- Muzan-sa- Ah?!

Suddenly, Muzan picked Nezuko up, his hands gently placed her on the horse, then climbed up behind her, holding the reins to guide the horse and leave the village slowly, in order not to make her scared if it's too fast.

He didn't explain anything and made her a little scared if she argued, but at least she was brave enough to raise her voice and plead with him:

- Please, don't kill them...

She was quite worried because her voice was so small that he maybe could not hear anything. But Muzan heard all, he rested his head on her black hair, and his eyes closed.

- Love yourself.

He spoke, then straightened up again, continuing to control the horse. Nezuko was surprised, a bit dumbfounded because of his sentence. Although she was a bit hesitant, but she still asked him:

- Why do you want to help me? By doing so, now I have nowhere else to go.

- Then, come with me.

- Hah...what can I do for bandits?

- Well, I don't know either...

His voice pretended to be confused, then he rested his chin on her hair, an arm bandaged tightly around Nezuko, and he smiled:

- How about being my wife?

Nezuko heard that, but she couldn't even believe what she had heard. She widened her eyes, her cheeks suddenly blushed, her voice tried to be calm but couldn't hide her surprise:

- Y-You're kidding, right? I'm just a weak, small, normal girl, how can I be qualify to...

- You're not, you're perfect to be my wife.

Nezuko was once again surprised, turning back to look at him. His eyes were looking at her tenderly and showing a gentle smile.

- Let me help you. From now on you only need to be my wife, smile and live in happy every day.

Dum

The sound of Nezuko's heart beating, her bright pink eyes were still round, looking at him without blinking.

Kibutsuji Muzan, the wanted bandit that no one has ever defeated him, the cold-blooded bastard said even to women, but now he is extremely gentle, looking at her, Kamado Nezuko with his eyes of affection.

- I...

Muzan heard something from Nezuko's voice, but he did not hear immediately so he lowered his head a bit lower.

- What's the matter?

- I think...I'm in love with you.

Her pink eyes gleamed with dreamy hopes in each one, her eyes changed abnormally, different from the times when she tried to smile, now she exudes a charming beauty that is gentle, beautiful and pure...like an angel.

Muzan looked at her and he smiled, then he kisses her high forehead, tenderly responding:

- I love you too, love you...very much.
