Little Kitsune's Destiny

Chapter 40

"And it seems you have brought her as well," He spoke, as their eyes narrowed at him in suspicion. "How are you feeling?" He spoke as they refused to answer.

Staying silent as the atmosphere had grew tenser the more they had refused to speak and answer their master's question.

"Ah, I must have gotten things mixed up," He spoke up as they only kneeled, digging their knee into the ground more as they gritted their teeth. "I see you have brought them here..." Before their eyes made contact with his. "What is the color of their eyes?"

"They are a bright, dark purple, but I don't see how that has got to do with the situation," Kyojuro said, willingly answering the master only shook his head and let out a slight laugh, smiling.

"Tell me..." He spoke, looking towards their direction as their eyes slightly widened at the pale lavender orbs that had met theirs. 'He's blind as well'

"If you don't respond, then what would you prefer we call you?" He asked, tilting his head a bit to the side as their nose scrunched up in annoyance.

"Why do you care? I am known as [Y/N], nothing more, nothing less," They responded with a venom-filled voice as they could feel the daggers being stared directly at them.

"Don't disrespect the master as such," One of them muttered as they only laughed.

"I am amazed to see a blind man be gifted with such respect," they mocked with a prideful smile as they were punched hard in the stomach, causing them to cough out blood.

"Disrespectful little shit," A voice grumbled before they felt another attack hit to come in contact with her back.

"If you are not willing to answer, I suggest you bring her out," The master spoke in an unexpectedly strict voice as they only scowled at him.

"Bring out what?" They muttered with a raised brow and a sneer. Looking towards the other hashiras as they only continue to kneel in front of their so-called 'master'

"What's with you and your master's nonsense?"

"It's either you speak and follow what he says or keep your mouth close," the black to purple-tipped female said with an index finger to her mouth as their face contorted in slight distraught.

"Just let me go and I'll be out of your way," They muttered, clearly annoyed at the situation they had so willingly brought onto themselves before dodging a punch, it barely grazing their cheek.

"Like hell, we'll do that"

"And why not, exactly?" They said, even more, annoyed that they're already willing to leave them alone, only to be pulled back in their grasp when they still refuse to do so. 

"I've done nothing to the corps. You just so happened to have captured an innocent civilian who does what they think is right"

"Innocent?" The male with the black and white haori said as they could see his brows scrunch up, probably feeling the same annoyance they felt but on a different level.

"Since when was a murderer like you considered...innocent?" His voice was laced with venom, exactly like a serpent's tongue as they merely clicked their tongue and groaned.

Breaking the rope binding their arms and legs together with a single pull before rubbing their wrists.

"Have I ever killed an innocent civilian?"

All the others bringing their guard up, staring at their figure intently, making sure they don't do anything endangering to the people at present.

"The people you killed were human," The flame pillar had stepped in with a deep frown, something known as unusual when you have gotten to know the hashira for long. "That doesn't make one innoc-"
