[ Warning, heaving cursing...]

''YOUU BITCH! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO OYAKATA-SAMA!!???'' a scream erupted from the behind the trees.

''OYAKATA-SAMA!'' cries of screams thundered throughout the woods, gaining closer towards the exploded site. ''It Muzan! Kibutsuji Muzan! This guy wouldn't die even if you cut his head off!'' Gyomei cried, trying to warn the incoming Pillars while trying to tackle the demon single-handedly.

As the Pillars approach the scene, they were greeted by the horrifying sight of thorns, protruding out of a single man's body, waving crazily in the air. The demon's deep red eyes stared at the incoming Pillars, all rushing at him from different angles.

''So this is Kibutsuji! What a Motherfucker!'' a curse flooded through Y/n's mind. ''We'll end your fucking life bitch!'' she cursed under her breath as she and the others closed upon the demon. Approaching that bitch, the Pillars, including Tanjiro, prepared their forms.

A wave of emotions bottled up inside of Y/n, crazed thoughts flooded in her brain. ''Focus, focus Y/n Damnit!'' she scolded herself, staring straight at the demon. Her breathing got heavier and heavier, her heart beat faster and faster. Her needs to slay that demon was so clear, yet she fears she would fail. Y/n concentrated on her breathing, drawing in a large amount of air.

Muzan watched the Pillars with his red orbs. They're quickly nearing him, he could be dead in one split second. This could all be over.

Then, a malicious grin spread across the demon's pale face.

In a blink of an eye, wooden doors appeared beneath the Pillars' feet, causing them to drop into separate columns. ''The fuck?'' Y/n cursed in confusion as she no longer felt the earth beneath her feet. ''Y/n!!'' a cry escapes from Muichirou's lips as he tried to reach for his beloved. However, the two quickly sank into the columns, separated.

''You seriously thought you could corner me?! You're all going to HELL NOW!'' the demon scream, letting out a burst of crazed laughter as he watches the humans sink into his trap.

===============================================================================

''What the fuck is this place??'' Y/n grunted, clinging onto a wooden platform which she had managed to grab onto, preventing her from plunging to her death. Panting, the violet-eyed girl pulled herself up onto the wooden platform, catching her breath. ''Mitsuri?? Gyomei? Muichirou??'' she frantically cried, silently in her mind. She didn't have time to waste her energy on shouting pointlessly.

Pushing herself up, the girl broke into a sprint, discovering the massive fortress. ''This place is a mess...who the hell puts rooms on the ceilings. I wouldn't be surprised if this was Muzan's place...' the girl remarked in her head, observing her surroundings as she ran aimlessly around.

Her goal was to search for anyone, anyone at all. Being alone in an unknown fortress isn't ideal to her. Suddenly, a demon pounced onto the girl. Reaching for her blade, Y/n smoothly ducked its attack and sliced it's head right off. ''A demon? This place must be some kind of demon's headquarters then...'' the girl concluded, keeping her blade back and proceeded to run.

As she ran, more and more demons threw themselves at the girl. Only to have their heads sliced right off and disappearing into ashes. ''Pitiful brats.'' The girl sprinted through hallways, corridors, sliding open countless rooms again and again. Just to find nothing but useless demons.

Y/n grunted in frustrations, slamming the door in a demon's face as it jumped at her. ''Fuck you, I'm not wasting my time with you.'' She cursed, running off again. All longed to see someone, at least any of the demon hunters. She begs to see Mitsuri, to see Shinobu, to see any of her friends again. To see Muichirou.

Tears start to well up in her violet orbs as she searches the rooms. She can't stand being alone in this place any longer, even her crow would be an expectation. As the girl slide open a wooden door, a figure could be seen in the distance.

Squinting her eyes, Y/n could make out human features. Smiling, she ran towards the figure, hoping it was a human. As she neared the figure, she saw an ugly boar head on that person. Inosuke...

''Inosuke!'' the girl cried, catching the attention of the boy. Before he could react, the girl engulfed a warming hug on the boy. ''(miss pronounced name) you're here?'' Inosuke stuttered. Pulling away, Y/n placed on a determined face. ''Yes, I suspect this is a demon's hideout or something, Muzan would most likely be hiding here...'' The girl explained.

''Ho Ho! That Idiot's hiding! He's too scared to face the Mighty Inosuke!'' The boy laughed, breaking into a sprint to who knows where. ''Inosuke!'' the girl cried, running after the boy.

================================================================================

As the pair ran, running pass rooms and rooms. ''Inosuke? Do you know where we're going?'' The girl panted, pulling the rush boy into a stop. ''Huh??? I thought we were following you????'' the boy questioned loudly. ''Why would you think we're following me???'' The girl questioned back, confused with the boar head's logic. ''You're one of those big flashy people! Those Hashiras???? Right? You should be taking charge.'' He explained, crossing his arms and puffing out his chest.

Y/n paused. ''Hashira? I'm not a Pillar...'' the girl stated, not believing a word he said. ''Well, you're always hanging around the pillars-''the boy started but was cut off by Y/n. ''Hanging around my friends doesn't make me a Hashira either you-''

The sound of loud banging and the slashing of swords could be heard from beneath the pair. ''Something's going on...'' Y/n whispered, looking the floor below them. ''Looks like someone needs Inosuke!'' the boy shouted, jumping forcibly on the flooring beneath them. ''Inosuke you're- ''Before Y/n could continue, the boy had broken a hole on the flooring, falling through it. 

The impact made Y/n fly backwards, crashing into a wall. ''Inosuke!'' the girl screamed, getting up and peering over the hole he made. ''Help!!'' A cry thundered from the other end of the hall. Y/n spun around to see a wave of demons washing against a group of demon hunter. 

The violet-eyed girl stared in horror at the helpless group before staring back at the hole where Inosuke fell into. Her violet eyes switched back and fore the two situations, debating. If Y/n doesn't help Inosuke he might be killed or badly injured. However, the group slayers seem to need her help more than ever. 

This isn't going to end well, is it?
