    Upon Tanjiro's and (Y/N)'s crows squawking at them plus Zenitsu to run forward towards their next mission, they found a large mansion within a clearing hidden by a thicket of woods, the subtle complexities concerning sound and smell of a demon wafting from inside. Not only that, but they found two kids—a young boy and his younger sister—fearfully loitering outside, hesitantly informing them of how a demon had taken their older brother when they had been walking at night. Then, with the incessant beating of a Tsuzumi drum, a battered and bloodied boy shot out of the upper story window and fell with a splatter of blood onto the ground below.

    (Y/N) didn't need any more reason to go inside, immediately kicking the door in with her sword drawn, Tanjiro following her after trusting his box with the two kids. Zenitsu was dragged along after him, his hands tightening on the edge of Tanjiro green-and-black checkered Haori, wailing for him to save him. Unfortunately, the two kids had ran after them after hearing scratching sounds from within the box.

    "Get the fuck out of here, kids," (Y/N) scowled down at them, kicking in another door before walking inside.

    "(Y/N)-san, wait!" Tanjiro called after her, his eyes wide with worry as he reached out a hand to her.

By then, it was too late, though.

At the thumping of that same Tsuzumi drum, the room suddenly changed into an entirely different one. With every drum of sound, the room changed over and over again as (Y/N) turned where she was, her eyes narrowing in spite the longer she stood there. Finally, when the drumming stopped, she barreled into the hallway to begin her search. Yet, after thirty minutes of nothing, she could feel her frustrations reach a boiling point.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" She screeched in annoyance as she began to slice up the wooden floorboards and paper doors, the jagged fragments splitting into terrifying shapes that cast eerie shadows along the walls. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU, YOU DAMN DEMON!? GET OUT HERE SO I CAN FUCKING BEAT YOUR ASS!"

    Just as these words left her mouth, a trail of destruction following her wake, a lumbering demon appeared at the end of the hall, the most prominent feature about him being the small horn jutting from his forehead. Gritting her teeth, (Y/N) readjusted her grip on her sword before shooting towards the demon like a blazing inferno, her (E/C) eyes lit with a raging fire. Blood was splattered all over the demon's mouth and chest, suggesting that he had recently fed, a fact that only spurred the fury thrumming in her veins.

    "Hehe, come here so I can eat you, pretty girl!" The demon laughed as he stretched out his pudgy arms towards her.

    "SHUT THE FUCK UP, BITCH!" (Y/N) shouted as she jumped upwards just as the demon lunged for her, slinging her sword around to slice off his head in a flurry of bright red and yellow explosions that ensnared her in a show stopping setting.
