"...ki....sa...tsu..."

What the hell?

"Satsuki."

Her eyelids fluttering open,adjusting the sun shining directly onto her face but a figure came by,concealing them.

"Wake up,Satsuki. You slept for too long already."

That voice..

"Mum..?"

Her eyes came to a clear view, a pair of warm brown-honeyed eyes are staring down at her, her thin lips pulled to a serene smile. She blinks once—then twice,before got up hastily,

"Mum?"

"What is it? you don't look so well. Didn't Kyoko served you your lunch yet?"

Where is this? what the hell is happening? One moment i was

Is this a dream? am i in one right now? She study at the figure before her looking genuinely worried.

Yeah,that must be it-a dream. I was blind for God's sake,i can only see recently so this is not possible.

"I'm fine.." For now, let's play along.

"Is that so?" She tilt her head, "Well,if you are ready please come down to the Parlour,we have a very important guest to welcome. Dress up,alright?" she leans in,planting a soft kiss on the crown of her head before leaving her all alone.

She study her surroundings assuming it must be her room;this is her home. So she stood up only now noticing she is wearing a kimono-one she used to have back then.Huh, funny she doesn't remember how heavy this is.
  She exited the room,only to skid to a halt before running the opposite way- to the secretive basement her parents hid from her but she knows well where it is exactly especially when she was ended up dying from the Demon Progenitor attack on her first few mission.

It almost looked like a tomb with rough tunnels leading to a small temple underneath her home.There,stored so many scrolls she lost count piling up on one another. The red one though caught her eyes. She planted the fire torch into the dirt beside her,the fire flickering bright for her to read what's written.

Her fingers graze over the dried ink when she spotted few names much to her recognition,

"Rengoku..?"

She continue to read more,only to find out a boggling truth.

"Tsugikuni Yoriichi...the first Breath user.."

Of course-of course! It all makes sense now! My clan taught the first styles of the ability to the first Breath user-Tsugikuni Yoriichi,who then master them all within a short period of time.

Satsuki scramble to find another scrolls again,hasty in her movements too eager to find out more. She grab the green one next,

Tsugikuni must have taught and spread the practice to different users including the olden generation of the Flame Pillar. Her eyes scan back to the name on the first scroll,

"Which is the Rengoku..."

Of course, She remembers how Tanjirou constantly ponders about the difference between Flame and Fire; said the two might have a connection but he couldn't pinpoint about. Satsuki herself is more prone to use Flame than Water Breath because it was in her blood,she was born with it-she is a natural Flame Breath User. Maybe the reason why Kibutsuji Muzan knew about the Harukigahara partly was because they were involved in Tsugikuni's practice to defeat him.

Suddenly she heard footsteps behind that made her whirl around so fast,ready in her stances.But when the figure came to light, her heart fell,

"Father..?"
