"Alright shut the f*ck up you damn f*ckers. I can't hear things properly if you're all gonna go at me."
"Michikatsu, could you please explain to us about how you're able to walk in the sun?" asked Oyakata
.

"How the f*ck am I suppose to know?"

"Are you f*cking serious?!!!"
"It's your own body but you don't know?!!!"
"How unfortunate."
"Haha such a mystery."
"I would probably forget anyway."
"This is so unflamboyant."
"...."
"Stop yelling at me! I never asked to became a demon so why are you all coming at me?!" yelled Michikatsu not looking very happy.
"I do apologise for everyone's behaviours Michikatsu, but we are all just curious about how you can walk in the sun without any consequences." said Oyakata.
"It's ok I guess, it's just you guys are loud and hurt my ears."
"The trial is over. You can go to the Butterfly Estate to recover now Tanjiro. I would like Yoriichi and Michikatsu to stay though if that's alright." Oyakata requested.
"We'll stay behind." said Yoriichi, Michikatsu nodding.
Tanjiro was then taken away by a kakushi but before he let them peacefully take him, he wanted a little revenge for earlier.
"Alright let the- Hey wait! Let me headbutt him! Please just once for hurting my siblings!" Tanjiro interrupted Oyakata getting hit by three pebbles.
"Don't interrupt Oyakata-sama, it's rude." said the mist hashira.
"We're sorry Tokito-sama!" the kakushi apologised before carrying Tanjiro away but not without scolding him.
"How could you interupt Oyakata-sama!"
"The hashira respect Oyakata-sama a lot you know!"
Oyakata turned back to the hashira and Kamado siblings and said, "Well then, let's start the hashira meeting." with a smile.
"Oyakata-sama, if I may ask, why did you ask these two to stay behind?" asked Iguro.
"Well, I asked for them to stay behind because they reminded me of two slayers." answered Oyakata.
Everyone was quite confused. 'Just because they/we resemble two slayers? Are those slayers that special?' they thought.
"Oyakata-sama, forgive me but I don't really understand. May I ask you to explain?" asked Kyojuro.
"Don't worry, there's nothing to be surprised for. I would actually be quite surprised if you know who those slayers were. There are quite a few of us after all. Plus, it's been about 500 years since those slayers died."
"500 years? But then how are these two so special? Apart from that brat being able to walk in the sun, I see there's nothing else so special about them." said Sanemi.
"I don't really have proof, I believe that they are the ones who will be able to destroy Kibutsuji."
Everyone was extremely surprised by what Oyakata had just said. Killing the demon king himself was definitely not an easy thing. No hashira has even seen him themselves in this generation, so how are some rookies who've never vomited blood training going to do something they haven't been able to accomplish?
Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Oyakata decided to explain his thinking.
"Has anyone ever heard of 'The tale of the Tsugikuni slayers'?" asked Oyakata.
Recognising the familiar name, Yoriichi decided to speak up, "We've only slightly heard of it from someone."
"Ah yes, please send Tamayo my regards next time." said Oyakata shocking Yoriichi and Michikatsu.
"Amane-sama has told me, but I forgot." said Muichiro.
"That's because the Tokito clan, are their descendants." Oyakata smiled, "The tale of the Tsugikuni slayers, a legend told by leaders and slayers down the generations. It was about two slayers who were brother named, 'Tsugikuni Yoriichi' and 'Tsugikuni Michikatsu'."
"The only thing the same is their name. It was their parents who named them, it must be a coincidence." said Iguro.
"Yes, that could be true however, that wasn't all. Tsugikuni was said to have a mark on his forehead representing the sun. Michikatsu who was the older twin had two marks, one on his forehead and the other on his neck reaching to his chin. Those were the things that made it easy for people to recognise those two."
"But aren't they just marks Oyakata-sama?" asked Mitsuri.
"They are, but the other slayers said that they had given the two some kind of power boost." replied Oyakata.
"So how did those two get so famous?" asked Uzui.
"They had nearly cut the head of Kibutsuji Muzan."
Everyone's eyes's widened.
"It was said that the friend of Michikatsu came back searching for Yoriichi and told Yoriichi that his brother was taken by Muzan. Yoriichi then rushed to the direction of the two and saved his brother from turning into a demon. However, in the middle of their battle, Muzan was able to turn Michikatsu into a demon when he was off guard. They were able to chase Muzan away but, Yoriichi had died while the sun was rising and Michikatsu was already disintegrating. The other slayers made it too late. When they arrived, Yoriichi's body lied on the ground lifeless while his older twin was slowly dying." told Oyakata.
"So then what happened to Michikatsu?" questioned Shinobu.
"He committed suicide." answered Michikatsu.
"....What....?"
"It seems like you know this story quite well Michikatsu." said Oyakata.
"I was......told about this story by......someone." the boy's gaze seemed like it was looking at someone next to him but there was no one seen. "The last part was something that I couldn't forget. It somehow felt.....painful."
"It seems this person you're talking about is quite knowledgeable. There are only a few who know of this tale nowadays."
"So that's the end? He just committed suicide?" asked Sanemi.
"That's right. He took his friend's nichirin sword and cut off his own head. His friend reached out not wanting him to but he was too late to stop his friend. I personally think that was a good thing though." said Oyakata.
"A...good thing? How is that a good thing?!!!"
"Perhaps his friend might have not realized, but it was less painful for him to die quickly than to wait for the sun to turn him into ashes."
To be continued...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tashio Secret~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-(My AU) There are only about 4 copies left that were written by slayers in the Sengoku Era about 'The tale of the Tsugikuni slayers'
-The person who told Michikatsu about the story was the spirit that looks like the older him who keeps following him around
-While the meeting was going on and they were talking about Tsugikuni Michikatsu's friend, a certain green haired demon sneezed in a place with lots of light
