Chapter VIII

Your POV

The weeks passed on as Giyuu pushed your limits in training. There were many days you were close to give up, but you wanted to become a better fighter.

You started to fall for Giyuu more and more everyday, but he was so hard to get to know. He didn't seem to want to open up or get to know you at all, and you felt like the feelings you had towards him were one sided.

You decided you needed some girl talk, so you met up with Mitsuri and Shinobu in her office. You were hoping they could help you further your relationship with Giyuu, since they probably knew him better.

"I don't know much about him, (Y/N). I'm sorry! But I am the Love Hashira, so you have come to the right place!" Mitsuri exclaimed. "I told you he would be tough." Shinobu said, not taking her eyes off her work.

"Have you tried switching from the pants to a skirt uniform?" Mitsuri asked. Shinobu rolled her eyes. "Um, no but I would be open to it!" you said "How is that gonna get Giyuu to open up to me though?"

"Do you really want him to open up to you? Or do you actually just want him in your skirt?" "MITSURI!!" she gave you an annoyed look. You slumped down in your seat and crossed your arms. "Fine," you muttered "you're right I obviously want him to want me back, but I do want a real connection with him." "If this makes you feel any better," Shinobu began " he must feel something for you too. I don't think he'd be able to stand anyone for this long if he didn't have some sort of feelings. Plus, he was very worried about you when you first got here!" That did make you feel better.

"I have an idea!" Mitsuri said excitedly " Why don't you get him to tell you one thing about himself each day, and you tell him one fact about you! That way he doesn't have to say too much a day, and it's something you get to look forward to!"

"That's genius, Mitsuri! I'll for sure do that!" you told her. "I'll go get you some of the skirts!" Mitsuri said as she walked out of Shinobu's office. " Do you know anything about his past?" you asked Shinobu quietly. "Sadly no, he's a very guarded person, so I can't imagine it's a pleasant story." You nodded as Mitsuri walked back in with the skirts. "There you go! Now go knock him dead! Shinobu! Why don't you start working on a love potion?" Shinobu laughed. "I'm not THAT good!"

You laughed as well and thanked both of them for their help. "Let me know how it works!" Mitsuri said happily. "Good luck!" they said simultaneously. You nodded and walked out of Shinobu's office, skirts in hand.

As you walked down the hallways out of the Butterfly Mansion, you heard the two loudest of the Hashira around the corner. You were going to go greet them when you heard one of them say you and Giyuu's name in the same sentence. You quickly ran into an open, empty room next to you without them knowing and listened to what they said.

"Do you think they're together?" Uzui asked Rengoku. "I'm not sure, but I could tell Tomioka had no intentions in sharing (Y/N) with Shinazugawa. I just wanted to meet her but he was not happy." Rengoku explained. "Very interesting!" Uzui said in his usual voice. "I don't want to spread rumors but Tomioka and I did go on a mission together recently and he was more talkative than usual." Rengoku continued, "I think he might be a virgin. He was asking me tips on how to get with a girl."

You gasped loudly, unable to contain your emotions. "Who was that?" Uzui said out loud. You heard them walk around the corner and into the room you were eavesdropping in. "(Y/N)! What are you doing listening to Rengoku and I?" Uzui said angrily. "I'm sorry!" you began to explain "I heard my name when you guys were talking and I wanted to know what you guys were saying! I won't tell Tomioka though! That would be weird anyways!"

"Well, since your here, what's the answer?" Uzui asked slyly. "What are you talking about?" you responded, trying to act dumb. " Are you two together?" Rengoku announced.

You looked down at your feet, "No, we aren't. But that doesn't mean I don't want anything with him. I probably picked the hardest Hashira to form a relationship with." "Ah! Well he definitely enjoys your company!" Rengoku said with a smile "And if you want someone that's easy, Shinazugawa will NOT stop talking about you!"

"Oh yeah...not really my type." Both of them laughed "I'm sorry for listening to you guys!" "Apology accepted! You know we can't stay mad at you for too long!" Uzui said in a cheerful voice and they made their way out of the room and began another conversation.

"He wants to get with a girl? Could it possibly be me?" Your mind raced with thoughts as you tried to connect them together. He never gave you a reason to think that he wanted you, but he never gave you a reason that he didn't. "Well then I truly need to know him better." you thought to yourself as you walked out of the room and out of the estate, excited to see Giyuu.

Giyuu's POV

"Is she with Shinazugawa?" I thought you myself worried. "Why do I even care, she's not my girlfriend." As I sat in the kitchen lost in my worried thoughts, the door opened. It was (Y/N)! She seemed to be in a good mood. "Hey Giyuu! I've been hanging out with Shinobu and Mitsuri!" Suddenly, I felt a lot better. She had some extra uniforms in her hand. "I wonder what's wrong with hers?" I thought to myself. 

"So I have an idea! Let's tell each other one fact about ourselves a day!" (Y/N) said. She was so adorable, it was hard to stay serious. "I'll go first! My grandmother calls me the cat whisperer because cats love me and they always come up to me!" Her eyes twinkled as she spoke. Her little story made me smile, which was rare. "Your turn!!" she said excited as she ruffled the top of my head.

"Um, well my favorite food is simmered salmon and diakon." I told her. "That sounds so good right now! Want to go get some?" she asked me. "Sure." she got up real fast and tugged me out of my chair and we went off.

What was she doing to me? I never imagined ever having feelings like this for anyone. I was starting to get upset with myself. "Everyone I've ever loved, dies." I thought.
