Lynn's pov

The sound of the two boys footsteps beside me, slowly began to irritate me. I was sure that the entire mansion could hear us with how loud they were being. "Where's Tanjiro?" Agatsuma-Kun said, I wasn't quite sure to who. He was sweating, clearly thinking of something terrifying.

"Uh, Mr. Zenitsu, Miss Lynn, is it just me, or are we just going round and round in circles?" Ahead of us, the hallway seemed never ending. Everything seemed to stretch out, from the hall to the shadows about it. They both abruptly stopped. "I knew it, I was starting to get the same feeling!" I rolled my eyes at the blonde.

"C-can one of you check to see if this room is clear?" Agatsuma-Kun asked us both, pointing to the doors at our right. I slowly pealed back the shoji doors to a crack. With one quick look, I had deduced that the room was empty. There was nothing inside of it, not even a light as the room was almost pitch dark.

I opened the doors the full way. "L-let's go this way." The boy moved ahead of us and into the room. I crossed my arms together keeping an eye out for ahead of us. The sound d of a drum was louder and much more apparent than the last few times. A gravitational pull flipped me forward. Caught off guard I stumbled with the two boys with me.

  They both scream and Agatsuma-Kun's eyes water. The first shushing door flies open to reveal a door that is the exact same as the room we had just exited. After passing that room, we entered another that was similar, but not quite the same. The only difference was the doors that we fell towards had a different pattern.

The smell was enough of a warning before the doors opened. The light flooded into the room as the doors opened. The outside was just ahead of us. We were violently flung out of the mansion.

Tanjiro's pov

A few more drum beats later and I was back into the regular floor. That didn't last long though, as he hit a few more drums to shift the room. Hoping from wall to wall, ceiling to floor. All of this was very tiring. The constant pull of gravity in different directions, and the occasional slash that tried to kill me.

For a few seconds, while in the air, I felt my memories take me back a few weeks. Back to the demon with eyes on his palms. Once again being thrown around. Where I broke many bones; smashed against walls and the dirt below every few seconds.

'I have to show this demon that a few broken bones will not stop me!'

Left and right, forward and backward. It came to the point that I no longer had the time to stand. I latched myself onto one of the ceiling lights, that way I wouldn't struggle and break anymore bones. 'I have to do something! Motivation isn't enough! I need to calm down, and think.'

With a quick slash form the claw attack, the ceiling light detached from where it once stood. This sent me flying back, taking a pair of shoji doors with me as I fell. I managed to grab onto a certain spot on the wall. 'That was close, I barely survived that!'

"Curses, this is so irritating!" The demon said his favorite lines. "I need to consume that marrchi before it's too late!" I swung myself past the wall so that I was standing on stable ground.

Well, at least, it was stable. Before the gravity shifted to the traditional floor. This time I landed on my back, wincing in pain. I kept one of my eyes closed, gritted my teeth to hold back a scream. 'I'm not even given enough time to think!'

On cue, the sound of claw slashes headed towards me. I pushed myself off and landed to the side of the slashes.

I then turned myself to look at the demon before asking him a question. "Hey you, what's your name?!" He started sweating, slightly taken aback by my question. "It's Kyogai." He answered, short and quick.
