Crossed Katanas (KNY)

Chapter 19: 🎴🔥Yoriichi V1.0🔥🎴

Awww did I take that long? Hmm? Well anyway, here's chapter 19!

Shinobu: "Hey Kaitsuki!"

Kaitsuki: "Hm?"

Shinobu: "Where do you think you're going? Shouldn't you be training?"

Kaitsuki: "Tomioka-sensei is on a mission right now, same goes for his Hashira buddies. He gave me the day off."

Shinobu: "Then what are you doing with that grappling hook?"

Kaitsuki: "Oh this? I'm gonna go climb a mountain."

When he blurted out those words, Shinobu nevertheless was shocked. It felt like lightning struck inside her head. Of course she forbade the young boy from doing such dangerous things.

Kaitsuki: "Oh come on. It's not that dangerous, I do it all the time."

Shinobu: Giyuu, how did you find such a student! "No! It's too dangerous! Those cliffs are too high!"

Kaitsuki: "Fine... I'll go hike a mountain then."

Shinobu: "No. You're coming with me."

Kaitsuki: "Why?"

Shinobu: "Stop asking questions!"

Shinobu grabbed Kaitsuki by the hand and dragged him into the building. Kaitsuki was angry of course, but he just went along with it and did not bother to resist.

Kaitsuki: "So what now?"

Shinobu: I'll use this opportunity to get closer to him! "We're going to eat ramen!"

As a lover of ramen, rice and sushi, Kaitsuki was more than happy to go eat. He made a beeline to his room and changed quickly did a change in clothes. When he met up with Shinobu outside, she was wearing a purple kimono along with her butterfly patterned haori, while Kaitsuki wore white clothes covered up with his haori which he embroidered kanji on it. He also hade his mother's white, black and red colored jade bracelet, which Shinobu found weird.

Shinobu: "How do you have that bracelet? It's made of jade which means it's really expensive, isn't it?"

Kaitsuki: "This is my mother's bracelet. She is of Chinese descent and this is her family's heirloom which according to her, has been passed down for over 200 years."

Shinobu: "Interesting! Its colors even resembles a cherry blossom tree."

Kaitsuki: "That's because it's meant to resemble a cherry blossom tree. When my ancestors moved to Japan, they fell in love with the tree specie and wanted something to remind them of its beauty. At least that's what mom told me."

Shinobu: "Well that was a very interesting story, but there's ramen waiting for us!"

Kaitsuki: "Alright then let's go."

And soon the two made their way to a nearby town. There they ate their delicious ramen and even went fishing! While all this was happening, Tanjiro and Kanao had already made their way to the sword smith village's local hot spring, where they coincidentally bumped the love hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji.

Mitsuri: "Ahh! Tanjiro!"

Tanjiro: "K-Kanroji-san! Don't run here it's slippery!"

Mitsuri dashed towards Tanjiro and next thing he knew, Mitsuri was clinging onto his waist crying like a baby. Tanjiro was very puzzled as a hashira shouldn't be acting like that.

Mitsuri: "Wahhh! Tanjiro! Some guy just ignored me when I tried to say hi! Isn't that rude? And I'm a hashira! I should be respected!"

Tanjiro: "E-Eh... Kanroji-san-
