"Tomioka-San." Kyojuro spoke up, his eyes not leaving you. Giyu adverted his gaze from you to your smiling boyfriend who stood beside him, humming in response. "I would like to ask you to do something for me."

The black-haired man stared at the blond, wondering what might he possibly need from him. He decided to hear him out, letting him continue speaking.

Giyu pursed his lips as he adverted his gaze away, staring at the ground in front of him. Kyojuro continued to smile normally as he went back to look at you. "Of course, I can't be sure whether I'm right or not. But, I do know that you're the only person I can trust to do this. After all, I know that you care for her just as much as I do." Kyojuro gave Giyu a bright smile, causing Giyu to wonder how was he able to do so after what he has said. The young man simply nodded, not looking at the blond nor at you.

"I understand."

"What the hell?!" You yelled angrily when you saw Shinazugawa's figure by the mansion you were sent to for a mission. It seemed like the white-haired man was just as unhappy to see you. He rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue with a 'tch', which quite pissed you off even more. How come no one has told you that you had a mission with no-eyebrows? "What are you doing here?" You asked, ticked off. Shinazugawa scoffed.

"Oh, just wasting my time and answering dumb questions, sweetheart." He said with a fake smile, causing your blood to boil. You did not want to see his face, and you certainly did not want to have him tag along on one of your missions. You balled your fists.

"Why are you here?" You asked again. Shinazugawa clicked his tongue again.

"Obviously because I was sent on a mission. Jeez, isn't that obvious enough?" He answered. You mentally sighed, before straightening up your back. Bickering with an eyebrowless man with anger issues surely would not be useful at the moment. You were on a mission to slay another demon, after all, meaning you had to work with the man you least got along with, even if it were just for one day.

"Then I believe we both have a demon to slay. I was sent here to kill a demon as well." You stated. Shinazugawa scoffed.

"Listen, sweetheart. I don't want to be on this mission with you any more than you do, so how about you go back to your boyfriend and let me finish off this job?" Shinazugawa said, crossing his arms. You frowned.

"I'm more of a person who tries to take my job seriously. Demons aren't to joke around with." You said, earning another scoff from the eyebrowless man, "Besides, there has to be a reason I was sent to complete this mission with you."

"It's obviously because this demon is powerful. I was sent here with you to make sure that demon doesn't injure you and take your blood. It's obvious, isn't it?" You pursed your lips. As much as you hated to admit it, Shinazugawa was probably right. If you lost just one drop of blood to even one of the weakest demons, hell would break loose.

But, you weren't a fan of the fact that people assumed you needed protection. You understood that your blood was too powerful to be left with no one to make sure you weren't fatally injured, but you wanted to fully know the experience of being a demon slayer without having a white-haired eyebrowless man with anger issues to protect you.

Sometimes, you felt that having the eldest daughter of the (Y/N) family fight alongside the demon slayer corps wasn't the safest option.

"You're right." You said, and Shinazugawa made an expression that clearly said aren't I always? "That's why we need to start investigating right away." Shinazugawa rolled his eyes, mumbling a few inaudible words. The white-haired man then turned to face the mansion once again with a scowl plastered on his face.
