"Yoriichi Zeroshiki." The name was familiar.

9 years old you...

You fumbled with the photo album. As you dropped it , it landed on a page , you opened it. It was a tall man with his hair tied up. His hair was burgundy with red tips. He also had hanafuda earrings on , with a mark on his forehead. Staring at the photo you looked up at your mother.

"Who's this man?" She turned around hearing your small voice. She sat by you placing you in her lap. "Oh , him. His name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni." She answered you , but you were still curious about him. "Why is he in our family album?" She smiled softly.

"Yoriichi , as our ancestors and my mother described him as smart. He was friends with one of our ancestors." You stared at the photo. "How old is this man if he knows our ancestors?! Is he immortal!" She chuckled. "No , he passed on. Our ancestors knew him , about 300 years ago they were friends."

You sat comfortably staring at her eyes , they were a beautiful (e/c). "Your ancestor , Kashikoi Tsuki, a man who was intelligent. He befriended Yoriichi. After an incident where one of Kashikoi lost his child to a demon , Yoriichi taught him about his swordsmanship. Since Yoriichi knew Kashikoi knew nothing about samurais , he taught him. Yoriichi was known as the breath of sun user. But , since Kashikoi didn't know how to use it well , he made it simpler. Kashikoi was one of the first person to use a technique called rainbow. His technique came from the sun technique , it would create a rainbow. I don't wanna get too complex so I'll just leave it at that."

You nodded taking in all the information you just got. "After Yoriichi taught him , he left. Basically , Yoriichi helped our family get to know the world about swordsmanship and maybe you could become one too. I guess you could say Kashikoi and him were best friends , they were like the sun and moon."

You stood up stretching. "Well , it's time for bed. Don't wanna be up too late." She smiled leading you to your room.

Back to now...

"It's arms why are there six?" You stared at the doll as it moved , it did really have six arms. "It's arms? Well, according to my dad , this doll is modeled after an actual swordsman."

"They has to give him six arms, or they couldn't duplicate his movements." You blew the hair out of your face giving all your attention to the kid. "So who exactly is this person?" Tanjiro questioned.

"Sorry , I don't know the details either but it dates back to the Sengoku era." "S-Sengoku?! You mean it's more than three hundred years old? How has it not broken after all this time?" The kid watched Muichiro fight the doll. "It's construction is so superb that we can't hope to achieve that level even now. So if it breaks we can't fix it anymore. My dad died suddenly and I have no siblings. So I have to be the one to fix it. But I don't have the talent to fix blades or dolls."

"I see , so that's why." You stared at Muichiro in awe. "This person is amazing. He's just as young as I am , but he's talented." "Well of course! That boy is  a descendant of the sun breath users!" You automatically grabbed Tanjiro as you heard a high pitch voice. Surprised , you stared at Tokitou's bird.

"He's a Genius! He's completely different from you! Haha!" You let go of Tanjiro as he had stared at the bird. "Tokitou-Kun's crow? The sun breath is the original breath... so he really is amazing." You nodded your head at his statement. "But he doesn't use the sun of breath..."
