The Return of Legendary Slayer

Dance of a Heavenly Spirit

(.....) - Thinking
*.....* - Action

Narrator POV :

It has been 5 years since the day Tanjiro was born in Kamado Family. In those 5 years he never spoke a single word or showed any emotion. His parents thought that maybe he was mute. In that time, Kamado Family was also blessed with a girl child whom they named Nezuko. Nezuko being 2 years younger than Tanjiro.

Now we see a 5 year old tanjiro standing near his mother while his sister ''Nezuko'' was sleeping on their mother's back outside their house in the snowfall while his father was performing a dance ritual that was passed down from generations in their family by the name of "Hinokami Kagura". They performed this dance as an offering to The Sun God to keep them safe from injuries and illness. But for some reason, Tanjiro felt a familiar bond with the dance, like his body wanted to dance in the same way as his father. So he asked his mother-

Tanjiro : Mom, how can dad dance in such cold temperature even when he is ill and his body is frail ?

Tanjuro : *still dancing but shocked that tanjiro spoke for the first time and he is not mute*

Kie :*shocked that he spoke but still answered* There is a particular way to breathe that prevents you from exhausting yourself. When you will grow old you will also learn to perform the breathing and dance by your father.

Tanjiro : *hear what she said and looks at Tanjuro with See-Through World to read his movements and the way to breathe* (So that's how Father is able to perform the dance from sunset to sunrise)

Just by looking and implying the way Tanjuro breathe while performing the dance, Tanjiro learns Total Concentration Breathing Constant and movements of Sun Breathing.

Tanjiro : Mom! Can I also dance alongside Dad ?

Kie : *chuckles* Sure, if you want to. Give it a try.

Tanjiro goes near his dad and picks up another stick with bells around it identical to his father's one and starts performing the Dance.

Tanjiro : *starts dancing and his mark started glowing like fire*

In the midst of snow, Tanjiro and his father was dancing. Although it was Tanjiro's first time performing the dance, it looked more precise and beautiful than Tanjuro's performance himself. The child was dancing so gracefully that he looked more like a heavenly spirit came down from heaven to perform the dance. It looked like he was born with the talent to perform this dance. His moves representing the sun while his birthmark was glowing brightly like a sun in the night sky.

Tanjuro and Kie : *shocked by the beauty of the dance* (He really is blessed by Sun God) *smiles*

The sunrise followed soon and Tanjuro stopped the dance and even asked Tanjiro to stop but Tanjiro was lost so much into the dance that he didn't listen to the call of his father. He continued the dance till afternoon, his parents tried multiple times to stop him but to no avail. Tanjiro kept performing the dance for nearly 2 and a half days until he passed out due to lack of energy.

Tanjuro died soon after Tanjiro turned 8 year old after passing down the Hanafuda earring to him.

Mini Time skip
Tanjiro is now 11 years old. After his father's death, he stepped forward as the provider of his family and often went to sell charcoals in the nearby town to earn money for his family.

Today was the same day as usual, he was preparing charcoal to sell down the mountain in the nearby village or so what he thought. Little did he knew a incident would soon occur that would change his entire life...

Authors Note:
Yeahhh ! Just finished writing another chapter.
By the way, I think the chapters are probably too short. I will try to make them long but then it would take 5-7 days for a chapter. What do you guys think ? Should I write long chapters ? Or should I write short chapters but update regularly ?
Comment me your suggestion. Thanks for reading.

See ya in the next chapter "The Loss and Meeting with Devil"
