SoulTaker

Chapter 10

Tanjiro was silent as he walked by the two harisha. Shinobu said, "you are short". " I wouldn't talk Shinobu ", Giyuu said. Shinobu was angry but had a smile on her face as she said, " I am only 5'4 Tomoika- San". Tanjiro didn't say anything and continued walking with them. They reached the Ubuyashiki Mansion as they entered. Tanjiro was tired a bit and passed out on Shinobu. Shinobu caught him and said, "Ara~ Ara~... His leg is injured...". Everyone was confused. Giyuu sad, "afternoon master- Sama...". Kagaya said, "so you got the boy... Mhm?". " yes...it seems he has three breathings techniques that never seen before ", Shinobu said, with a smile.

Awhile later, Tanjiro woke up and groaned in pain a bit. Sanemi said, " you are awake now?". "I guess", Tanjiro said. Giyuu said, " tell us... What is your name?". "Tanjiro... My last name... I don't really remember it", Tanjiro said, trying to remember. Obanai said, "how don't by our remember your last night?". "I been kidnapped at age 5...so I don't really remember my last name", Tanjiro said, calmly. Sanemi said, " Mhm... What breathings do you use ". " Sun and Moon are the main ones I normally used but as I done them both I made a new one called, "Eclipse Breathing" and my other sword... "SoulTaker"... The name is pretty explainatory ...", Tanjiro explained calmly.

Shinobu said, "how is your leg". " I've been through worse... This is nothing compare to what my life was", Tanjiro said, not realizing what he said. Giyuu said, "What do you mean by that". Tanjiro was silent for a bit and put his head down a bit. Until a guy came in and grabbed Tanjiro's throat and said, " you little shit... That should've been me that killed the lower rank...". Tanjiro was silent and glared at the guy and said, "Fucking punch me... But it won't turn back time...after all... Abuse is the answer in my life... Make one wrong move... Hit... Hit... Hit". Everyone was silent. Tanjiro said, " if I could... I would drug you like I did my kidnapper to escape that hell hole of a house...". The guy punched Tanjiro in the nose harshly. Tanjiro was calm and the guy left. Tanjiro touched his nose to see blood and said, "I will never escape the pain of being abuse...". Tanjiro sighed softly. Shinobu went to Tanjiro and held his chin up and wipes his nose and said, " Mhm... Abused huh". "Everyday... I been I have been drugged a lot as people did things to me...", Tanjiro said, looking at Shinobu. He had kind eyes, but has pain and wants to leave everything behind. Shinobu nodded as she healed Tanjiro's nose. Giyuu said, " Mhm... Sun and Moon were the first original breathings... And Upper rank 1 had Moon as his twin had Sun". Tanjiro nodded and said, "yes... They are my descendants.".

Later, Tanjiro was resting in medical room. Aoi said, " Master... He has been sleeping for 2 days now...". "I know Aoi... But he needs it... Those wounds on him... Aren't just from demons...", Shinobu said. Tanjiro mumbled, " stay...". Aoi and Shinobu looked at him. Tanjiro said, "stay...". Shinobu said, "Aoi go check on the other patients... I can stay here". Aoi bowed and left, shutting the door.
