Demon slayer: Breath Of The Eclipse

Chapter One: Memories of the past

It was a cold winter morning. Tanjiro was getting ready to sell charcoal, the boy was wearing his usual clothes wich were a simple white kimono with a red haori, his hanafuda earrings were white with a red sun symbol and black lines surrounding the sun to represent the clouds, he also had long and wavey black to red hair that reached his waist with long bangs, like his father Tanjiro liked  to keep his hair in a Ponytail, his kimono  and black hakama pants were tied with a white cloth but his haori was left open and untied, the boy had the same skin color as his father.

'You know...that...you...neednot....do this ' Michikatsu said to his son as he kneeled down to wipe the black soot off Tanjiro's face, he was worried for his little boy....this was the first time that Tanjiro would be going out alone and by himself to sell charcoal...he worried about his child's well-being especially in this harsh winter, ' are you all right dad? i learned from you and your the best!' said Tanjiro trying to reassure his dad, the now thirteen year old boy wanted his family to have a good new years fest and wanted to buy his sister Nezuko a new kimono wich is why Tanjiro Insisted on heading down to the village and selling charcoal. Takeo, Hanako and Shigeru wanted to come with Tanjiro but father didn't let them, he reminded them that Tanjiro couldn't use the wagen this time so he wouldn't be able to bring them home when they get too tired to climb the mountain,the three young children were upset by this but Tanjiro promised them that he will buy them sweets from the village wich made them feel better, he then went to say goodbye to Nezuko and Rokuta.

'I put Rokuta to sleep so he wouldn't cry when you leave he has been lonely since mother passed away...every one has gravitate to you and father ever since mother and grandfather passed ' said Nezuko as she was carrying little Rokuta on her back. After saying farewell to his family Tanjiro took one last look at his family and waved them goodbye. Tanjiro took a big breath and began descending the mountain, this was home, for a moment Tanjiro just wanted to stand there and admire the trees but he had to get his family their new years fest and get Nezuko her new kimono. Tanjiro had arrived at the village that was situated at the bottom of the mountain where he was greeted by a sweet old lady. Tanjiro then began his round selling charcoal and helping the people of the village. A man came asking for Tanjiro's help the man was accused of breaking a vase, with his exceptional sense of smell Tanjiro was able to determine that the culprit was a cat. Tanjiro and his family were well loved by their village, they would always help the people when ever they came down from their mountain home to sell their charcoal and the people would purchase the charcoal to show their gratitude.

Tanjiro had finally finished selling his charcoal and was about to go home but Subaru an elderly man who lived at the village had warned that it was too dangerous to travel here at night due to demonic activity in the area and he insisted that Tanjiro should stay at his house for the night and return home the next morning. Tanjiro was capable of defending himself against demons he was a well-trained and capable swordsman and he had defended himself in the past. Tanjiro would always help merchants that were traveling by his area so there were many times where Tanjiro was forced to defend himself against bandits but old man Subaru warned that demons are not like any of the highway men that Tanjiro had fought before in the past and that he couldn't in good conscience let Tanjiro wander alone at night. Tanjiro obliged and agreed to stay at Subaru's for the night if only to ease the old man's conscience. Subaru was relieved he had prepared one of the spare futons and cooked dinner. Tanjiro ate his dinner and then went to sleep. Tanjiro felt sympathy for Subaru the old man had become very lonely since his family died he wondered if they were murdered by demons?....his warning reminded him of the stories that his grandfather used to tell him about demons, he was definitely going to bring his siblings with him the next time he visited old man Subaru.
