The Agatsuma clan has always been one of the major clans that joined the fight against the demons.

They have been entitled to use just Thunder Breathing, one of the five original breathing styles.

In the Taisho Era, the Agatsuma clan have secluded themselves away from the war of the demons to preserve their futures. But one unfortunate night, their seclusion was found by multiple demons. It was a one-sided massacre. Many women and children were killed and eaten, and the men who tried to fight were brutally slaughtered by a giant demon. Running from their destroyed village and home, a couple and their 6-year and 8-year old children made their way to a river that led down to a town. The husband and wife nodded at each other.

??: Zenitsu, Zenko.

The father said.

Zenko: Yes dad.

She said tearfully.

??: This is where we part ways.

Zenitsu/Zenko: WHAT?!

??: My children. You two will be heading down this river into that town and will do one thing. Survive.

Zenitsu: No. We don't want to leave either of you two here to die!

The mother kneeled down to her kids.

??: Zenitsu. Zenko. My sweet babies, no matter what happens to us, we'll always be right here.

She pointed to their hearts. Their farewell was suddenly interrupted by the demon who was hellbent on killing the family. The father unsheathed his sword prepared to die to protect his family.

??: Take one more step and I will cut you down in an instant.

He was then pierced by the demon's tail with a hole in his chest. He was killed in an instant, and the wife saw that her love one was gone, another demon appeared.

??: It wouldn't be fair if I hogged all the fun, so go right ahead.

The second demon lunged at Zenitsu, Zenko, and their mother. In her last moments she pushed her kids into the river and says her last words.

??: I love you Zenitsu and Zenko.

She was then fatally wounded, but she kept her smile. Zenitsu and Zenko was floating down the river as the two demons watch.

??: I'll finish this!

??: Don't bother. The real world in now in charge of this quadrant. Let it clean up its own mess. I've got several people to kill by the end of the day. Why should I allow myself to get behind schedule just to cover these mistakes? Besides, their just children. They're no threat to us.

The demon then changed back into its original form. 

??: Our mission is complete.

After many hours, at the break of dawn, Zenko found her way into the town without Zenitsu because when they were pushed into the river they became separated. She was still in complete shock. Everything and everyone she has ever loved was gone, suddenly life flashes before her very eyes as she remembers all the good times she has spend together. All she could do was cry. As she roamed the streets, she could hear many heartbeats, many noises, and conversations. Even when she sleeps, she finds it impossible to ignore the many things happening around her.

Over the next seven years. Zenko was trying her best to survive listening to her father's last orders. So, she would try and scavenge for food. Soon, she was found and taken in by a good family. They were cared and loved for.
