You sat on your knees, helplessly as you mourned those you had just lost. Your hair covering your face as you had your back hunched, gripping your knees with your hands and leaving red marks as your body shivered.

In the distance you could hear the sounds of demons growling, the sound of corps members fighting or being devoured and the sounds of your friends fighting for their lives.

The familiar sound of your crow's wings flapping in the distance, the birds panting and dripping sweat echoing in your ears "Y/n!!... Y/n!!" The crow yelled continuously, his voice echoing in the long and never ending halls.

"I have a urgent message and delivery from Lady Kocho!!" The crow yelled his voice become more clear and closer and she spoke before flying through a small cubby in the wall  of the room. "We can't do this without you" the crow said as he throw a small brown knitted pouch at you, "that is that she wished for me to tell you" the crow said as he flew off.

You loosened the dirty brown string that kept the bag closed within the pouch had been a syringe containing maroon called liquid. The liquid having oddly notice bright red and light purple within it. The substance was a "cure".

You let out a sigh and you nodded your head, wiping your dried tears and you stood up and began to walk off. Heading towards the door you entered previously.

As you walked through the doors you noticed the area had been different, the halls, flooring, ceiling and this time there had been no doors.

You were met with a long hall that had dark brown wooden floors, walls and ceiling and the strong sensation of a powerful demon. An eye watering stench of blood hit you, wanting to throw up.

You covered your nose and muttered "God that's awful". "I can't" you muffled through your hand as you turned around to walk out of the door only for the door to be gone, where the door sat was now a hall, a long and miserable hall.

"Shit" you muttered. Horrid and blood filled screams echoed down the hall from behind you. The sound of screaming, ripping and tearing flesh filled your ears.

Without thinking you ran towards the screams, running straight down the hall. The longer you ran the closer you got the end of the hall. Soon seeing the end you began to run faster.

"Stop!!" A familiar voice yelled out from behind you, the voice being followed by the sound of a shutting door. "Yushiro?" You questioned as you came to a stop.

Turning around and examine the hall around you, finding nothing but a empty hall. "Hallucinating? My payment to the flower must be starting" you snicker as you began to run down the hall again.

And this time reaching the end.

Blood had been everywhere, splattered and panted onto the walls and floor. Body parts and organs had been everywhere, katanas and crows bodies decorated the area.

Your eyes widened in horror at the site.

In the middle of the floor was a huge square hole that seemed to go for ever.

"Rai failed I see" a deep and scratchy voice spoke out. Your eyes widened as you realized you hadn't notice the person until they said something.

"Muzan" you breathed out as you got into a ready stance. A tall male stood, his red piercing eyes glared at you. His long white hair sat on his shoulder. The male was covered in the blood of corps members.

By his scent, and the sounds he would make he had gotten stronger, much stronger. I can't fight him on my own, you thought. As you let go of your katanas hilt.

You ran.

You sprinted down the hall you came from, running as fast as you possibly could. But Muzan hadn't been running after you. Instead he was walking a slow and leisurely walk. He wore a grin as if he expected something to happen.

Hearing a shift in the wall you were passing. The chunk of wall you had been passing moved and slammed you against the wall on the other side.

A painful groan escapes your mouth as your body met with the other wall, hearing your bones crunch and break with the impact.

The wall reverted back to its original place. You fell on the floor landing on your stomach. "Dammit" you groaned, your body and breathe shaky as you wiped the blood dripping from your lip.

Dust in the air and landing on your skin.

You gritted your teeth together as you began to pull yourself up, your broken bones fixing the self as you stood up. You began to limp away, running your hand along the wall for support. You turned your head back, remembering who you had been running from. You looked down the long hall but saw nothing, Muzan was no longer behind you.

The shift of wind caught your attention, you widened you eyes as you knew he was standing in front of you. Afraid, you began to turn your head forward, preparing to turn around and make a run for it.

You stepped a foot forward, just as you were about to dash off a hand grabbed your shoulder with so much force. Your bones cracked under the man's fingers.
"Gah" you grunted in pain as you slammed both your eyes shut and gritted your teeth.

"You know if Muzan were to capture you, it'd be the end of the demon slayer corps and maybe a lot of humanity" Mariones voice echoed. "I know you don't like the training but take those people you care for into consideration"

Your heart beat echoed in your ears as you shit your eyes open.
"Get the hell off me!!" You yell through your teeth as you fisted your hand as swung it at Muzan.

The second your skin touched your hearts beat, a pain filled beat. Your eyes widened as your mouth dropped open, you gagged. As this pain was something new.

Muzan had the same reaction, his fist tightened on you, piercing your skin.

Both of you coughed blood up, your nose began to bleed.

Muzans grip weakened, taking that as an opportunity you kicked him on the gut, causing him to release you. You ran.

You ran down the long hall, gripping your chest as the sharp pain was still there.

Doors would randomly appear, the ground below you would vanish and the walls and ceiling would change. It was like something was trying to keep you back.

Some time had passed since you last seen Muzan. You continued to run around the demons lair of endless tunnels.

"Y/n" a familiar voice called out from behind. "Huh" you breathed out as you stopped and turned your head back "Yushiro?" You call out.

"Up here" he spoke out. Your eyes jolted up to the ceiling in the ceiling was a large hole. Through the hole was Yushiro.

Yushiro was grunting his teeth, as he sweated endlessly, the demons veins popping from his head. His fingers lodged into the head of a demon woman.

"Tanjiro and three of the Hashira's are facing off against Muzan as we speak, I can bring you to the battle" Yushiro grunted.

"I understand" you reply as a shiver went down your spine as you fisted your hand.

"Yushiro" you call out "hm" he says as he bods his chin up.

"I promise to avenge Tamayo" you say in a stern voice.
Yushiro's eyes had widened a tad at those words and the scent of disbelief he had was now no more "and everyone else" he says.

The floor under you disappeared, you began to fall.

Into a large white hall, below you was Muzan.
