Running through the infinity fortress, Tanjiro and Giyuu sticks together. Though Tanjiro was not only worrying about you, but him and Giyuu haven't ran into any upper moon demons yet.

That was then they both heard a trembling sound.
"What is this tremor!"
"G-Giyuu!"

From the tremors that grew more, Tanjiro smells a familiar scent, up the ceiling.

"From above! Stay back, Tanjiro!" Giyuu says.
Soon an upper moon demon falls from above.
"It sure has been a while. I'm surprised you're alive, being the weakling that you are, Kamado Tanjiro!"
"Akaza!"

So dark...so cold...just where are you anymore? You didn't know whether you were dead or not.

Your body was numb and you couldn't move.
"Hey, wake up. I'm not done with you yet"
You heard a voice. As you slowly open your eyes, you see the demon woman standing above you.

"I...I'm alive..."
"You were under my blood art. I didn't want to kill you that easily"

You tried moving but you felt pain all around your body.
"So...this was all a dirty trick?"
The demon smiles wickedly.

"You should take a good look at yourself" she points at your punctured side where the demon from the water grabbed onto you.

Your eyes widened with surprise and confusion.
"I told you. My illusion could either be real or not. However I want" she chuckles.

You grit your teeth and tried swinging your sword. But the woman puts her feet down your injured side and puts more weight into it.

"Gyah!"
The demon O'ren laughs sadistically.
"Is this it? The legend? How are you really the successor of Yoshida Akiko? What a joke...you humans just throw away your lives for nothing"

"Don't...don't underestimate...us...you...you were once human too...!" you grunt from the pain.

O'ren just scoffs.

"You are a naive, stupid, girl. I became stronger, more powerful. And I would never sacrifice myself for anyone. I'd live forever" she says. O'ren blushes in pure bliss as she felt satisfied being who she is now.

"You truly are a witch"
O'ren looks at you for a moment, scanning your features. That was when it grabbed her attention.

"You know, I did noticed something different out of you...something unnatural...are you carrying a fake eye?"

How did she...!

The O'ren's hand reaches towards your face.
"Why don't you reveal your true self. Show who you should been. You'll sacrifice yourself for someone's sake right? Then sacrifice your eye!" she smiles as she grabs your fake eye.

You were struggling and terrified as hell. You were scared and your heart was beating fast, to the woman's amusement.

And before you knew it, she snatched your replica eyeball.

"AAAAHHHHH"
O'ren smiles wickedly and watches your pain as you held your bloody eyelid.

"Gya, ghn, my eye!"

"...do you get it now? Being human, you feel pain, and being human you make many mistakes. It's time to face harsh truth that you'll never save anyone if sacrificing yourself. They will all die a gruesome death, just like you. You one eyed freak"

She kicks you, cracking some of your ribs, and sends you flying as you hit the walls. You started to go unconscious, and your breathing was slowing down.
