We begin our tale in the Heian period, a time of great mystery, after all this is the period when the demons first appeared, now we will see the origins and life of the creator of this terrifying race...
Muzashi Kibutsuji was born in the worst of circumstances, she was practically dead, her heart did not beat, her eyes seemed lifeless, and her breathing was shallow, however after a whole 3 minutes, the child began to breathe and her heart began to beat, her eyes came a pale red and she had survived her own birth...
At the age of 10 however, Muzashi was diagnosed with a terrible disease, an unknown disease which would kill her before she even turned 25, her parents, who were an emperor and empress, worried greatly for their daughter, they called forth everyone they possibly could have, Doctors, Shaman, Sorcerers, healers. It had gotten so bad to the point where her parents prayed to the gods for a sign, for someone to come help and cure their daughter.
Muzashi on the other hand, had accepted her death almost 15 years before it was said to happen, as for now, she wanted to experience a childhood and play with other kids, however, because of her disease and her eyes, other kids of other Lord's and Lady's did not want to play with her, however, that was all she was permitted to see, as her parents did not want "filthy peasants" to corrupt or harm their daughter. But one night, desperate for some form of friend, Muzashi snuck out of her home, carefully dodging several armed guards and servants, until eventually she reached the castle walls, she looked back at her home and promised that she would return before morning, she then left her home and snuck out into the village below.
At first she hid amongst the commoners, cloaking herself in rags she found in an alleyway. She was about to go get something to eat and hopefully meet someone, when she suddenly bumped into a young boy only 3 years older than her.

"Omph" said the boy as Muzashi bumped into him. The boy then looked up and saw whom he had bumped into. "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going, I'm sorry for bumping into you madam." The boy said with his head down. "You shouldn't be apologizing, I should, I clearly bumped into you as evidenced by you on the floor" returned Muzashi. "Oh dear, my bad..." The boy finished. "Who are you?" Muzashi asked, to this the boy freaked out as he then stood up. "Oh dear, I forgot to introduce myself, Ahem, the name is Kamado Tanjiro, but my friends call me Tanjiro... Kidding! I don't really have friends... Would you like to be my friend?" Tanjiro asked.
Muzashi was already off to an amazing start, she hadn't even been outside the castle walls for 10 minutes, and yet she had already met someone to be friends with!
"My Name is Muzashi, and yes I will be friends with you." Declared Muzashi.
"Wonderful! Would you like to come over to my home? Fathers out hunting for boar so we will definitely be able to have dinner." Tanjiro said.
Muzashi then said yes and the two then went to Tanjiro's house where they played and waited for Tanjiro's dad to return with the boar. Once his father arrived, tanjiro and Muzashi ate together with Tanjiros mother and father.
