~Chapter 40~

"I still don't get why I must fight without seeing, Kyojuro." You said as Kyojuro tied a piece of cloth over your eyes, completely blinding you. Kyojuro smiled.

"Well! Sometimes, you could be fighting in complete darkness, or, in some cases, the demon might create a poison that may temporarily blind you. There are many other cases, so it's best to be prepared!" Kyojuro exclaimed, accidentally tying the cloth too tight, making you wince. Kyojuro quickly apologized as he loosened the cloth.

"So... I'll be fighting you." You said bluntly as Kyojuro nodded eagerly with a loud 'YUP'. You sighed. "If you want to kill me that bad you could just say so." Kyojuro laughed out loud.

"I'm sure you'll do great! You're so much stronger than when we first started!" Kyojuro gave you a closed eye smile, "Now, give me a high five!" Kyojuro held his hand up, his fingers spread. You ended up hitting his face instead. Kyojuro forgot you were blindfolded.

"Sorry." You whispered though it was clear you weren't sorry at all.

You took a deep breath, a drop of sweating trailing down the side of your face. This was the fifth round now, and so far, you have been doing a great job... at least, that was what Kyojuro was saying. You did end up pinning him onto the ground during the last four rounds, but something told you he was just going very easy on you, and any in a minute, he'd go all out on you. You concentrated on the movements of the air around you as you tried intensifying your sense of hearing, trying to locate where Kyojuro was. Strangely, the room seemed to be empty, almost confusing you, but you didn't let that get in the way. You turned around, grabbing the hilt of your wooden katana tightly. "Kyojuro?" You called out, but there was no answer. You started to mentally freak out, but you tried your best to act neutral.

Suddenly, you heard fast, soft footsteps up towards you. Your reflexes immediately reacted, causing you to turn around as you tried to block Kyojuro's attack with the wooden katana he held in hand. Kyojuro panted, pulling away with a smirk. "Didn't think you'd be able to get this one." He said. You mentally rolled your eyes, given how you still were blindfolded.

"Kyojuro, love, don't underestimate my skills." You said, only to get pushed to the ground on your stomach, having Kyojuro pin you onto the ground from behind. You scowled. I've let my guard down for just one second then this happens?! You tried squirming out of Kyojuro's grip, but it looked like he didn't want to let you go. Kyojuro knelt, reaching to your ear.

"What was that you just said?" He asked, whispering into your ear as shivers were sent down your spine. You squirmed some more, but it was no use.

"Let me go." You demanded, but Kyojuro didn't budge. Instead, he traced the back of your neck with his fingers, causing goosebumps to form as he softly started placing kisses on the spots he just traced with his fingers, making you squeak slightly. He then started to bite softly, causing you to bite the inside of your cheek. "Kyo— ah!" Kyojuro bit harder, shutting you up. Looks like he wanted you to stay quiet. He continued repeating his actions as you tried your best to keep quiet, afraid someone outside the training room might hear you. Suddenly Kyojuro stopped, leaving you confused. "What's wrong?" You looked to the left, only to hear someone clear their throat from the opposite side, causing you to quickly turn your head, your face turning fifty shades deeper.

"Hello, Giyu!" Kyojuro exclaimed with an awkward smile, immediately getting off you as he helped you up. You quickly took your blindfold off, blinking your eyes to adjust to the light as you found Giyu standing in the doorway with a flat expression, causing you to chuckle nervously.

"I'm just going to pretend I never saw that..." Giyu mumbled before turning to you with a soft smile, "Oyakata-Sama would like to meet you, (Y/N). The rest of the pillars are there too." Kyojuro's eyes widened.
