As we pace towards our destination after being prayed over by the estate, we end up in the woods. "What was up with those dudes praying for us huh?" Inosuke says as we slow down to a slight jog. "Just wishing us luck, making sure we leave with high spirits." Zenitsu says as we look ahead. "Yeah, they were looking out for us Inosuke." Tanjiro says as he slows down a tad bit more.
"Why? Its none of their damned business so why the hell would they worry about us and our damned jobs?" We all look back at inosuke. Tanjiro puffed out his cheeks and began running a lot faster than before.

"Wait! Hey stop don't leave us in the dirt!" I yell as i try to catch up with tanjiro. Inosuke catches up and zenitsu end up behind us.

We arrive to the forest but before we enter one of our friends decides to stop. "Wait! Let's take a break." Zenitsu says as he drops to the floor tears filling in his eyes.

"Why what's wrong?" I say as i glance down at him.

"I-I...IM NERVOUS OKAY!" He yells causing me to raise an eyebrow. "Well we can't just stop, we have to fight." Tanjiro says as he begins to walk towards the forest. "Told you he was weird." Inosuke mumbles.

"WHATT? IM WEIRD?! YOU THREE ARE WEIRD IM THE NORMAL ONE!!" I stop and sniff around the air.
"Something is wrong..." Tanjiro and me share a glance then look at the entrance of the woods.

"Help..me." The boy says as he looks up at us. He looked beat up and bruised. "Help me!" He screams as he gets yanked away. "Don't let me die here! Please!" His voice faded away as he got pulled through the trees.

I huffed and run into the forest, deciding to follow him.
"Wait! Y/N!" I ignore the calls and look around my surroundings.

"Looks like there are many senses in the forest... I'll go farther right, they might be throwing me off." I run towards the right side of the forest avoiding objects in my way. So far I didn't notice anything but bugs here and there. Tons of spiders though. I frown. Maybe too many spiders. I look and find them crawling towards me quickly. I i decide to test something out and throw one of my (Lord Tengen's) sound bombs towards them, causing a good majority to disintegrate.

"Huh..this is some sort of demon art."
I say as i grip onto my sword. I allow one to crawl onto my hand, I suddenly feel my arm tense as if it were being pulled. I slice the tread that appeared from the spider and kill it. "Some demon is using a damned technique to manipulate body parts..." I smirk and begin to sprint. "Ill find you damnit!" As i run i immediately come to a stop. Im face to face with another demon slayer, they look beat up. I look around them and notice threads. But before i can cut them they swing their sword. For them i cut the threads and continue to go on my way.

The body then pops up In front of me again, causing me to huff in annoyance.

"Your alive, and being controlled, so I can't kill you."
It then starts attacking me, so I attack it back. While defending myself using defense, I look around and notice a tree with multiple branches.
I decide to let it chase after me, getting it tied into the tree and stuck.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of your trance." I say as they seemed to twitch in the tree.
I shake my head and continue to run in the forest.

After that run in i couldn't see any more manipulated bodies, but i heard the familar yells of...

"NEZUKOOO! Y/NNNNN!"
