Half Found [Giyuu x Reader]

Ch.23 Past

(Y'all really thought I was about to post 1 chapter and dip huh?)

"Feeling devious, aren't we~?"

Shinobu had smiled at the two slayers who had been engaging in their lovey dovey activities.

"It's a good thing I bought 2 rooms."

Shinobu was clearly annoyed by the display so the two slayers immediately composed themselves before she got any more annoyed than she was now.

"S-Sorry Kocho-San..."

Y/n immediately apologized, trying to lessen her annoyance.

"Oh no, my dear Y/n-Chan, I'm more annoyed at your idiotic string since I know he'll never apologize."

Her veins had been popping out of her head while she smiled at Y/n and then at Giyuu.

"What should I be sorry for?"

Shinobu sighed and pulled on Kaki's rope as he tried to exit the scene.

"Well I just wanted to let you both know that we'll be 3 rooms down the hallway. Have fun~"

Shinobu gave a devious smile before walking out of the room with Kaki behind her.

———-

"Must you drag me everywhere?"

"I don't have any other choice. You don't look like you would listen to what I have to say."

Shinobu continued tugging on the rope, glancing behind her and seeing Kaki lag behind.

"So, Mr. Kaki, was it?"

"Yes?"

"What might be the story behind your ferocious arm?"

Shinobu opened the door to a ryokan room, allowing Kaki to enter before she did.

"And why would I feel the need to tell you?"

"I'll untie you if you do~."

"Sounds too easy."

"Fine, I was going to make you some Wisteria Tea to gulp down to see if it will calm down that arm of yours."

Kaki shuddered a bit but then he thought that it wouldn't be such a bad idea as he had never been near or seen wisteria before.

"Make the tea first and then I'll allow you to untie me."

"How demanding, coming from the one who had been whining about untying the rope all day."
Shinobu went to the small fireplace and picked up the teapot that had been sitting on top of a table.

She grabbed a small bottle from her clothing pockets and poured it all in the teapot.
After placing the teapot on the fireplace, she grabbed some tea cups and the liquid in the pot started getting warmer.

Kaki sat down on a futon and Shinobu sat in front of the teapot, in front of Kaki.

"Do you have any family?"

Shinobu asked after sitting in silence for a few moments.
"I had a mother. She's long since passed over to the other side."

"How long has it been since she passed?"

"About 4 years. She died around the time this unfortunate arm came along."

"You say it came along. What exactly happened?"

Kaki stood silent for a few moments before opening his mouth to speak.

"I was an idiot. A stupid 17 year old boy. Around that time I had found the love of my life, my string. I was lucky that she had been close to me as we both grew up."
