   IT WAS QUITE the journey on her way back to her home land. the mini white fox kept her a lot of company; chasing after butterflies and other flying insects that passed by them, overall just having a lot of energy. the total opposite of the girl who simply dragged her feet against the rich soil.

   finally becoming familiar with her surroundings, [name] placed her axe inside her bag. she planned on asking uzui to clean it for her, he always does a great job at doing so, and he sometimes he does it for free!

  "yo! [last name] has returned!" a loud voice boomed out loud. the girl sulked as her legs moved faster to try and avoid the loud red head that was somewhere close by. she pulled the hood of her coat over her head and continued her pace with her head down.

   sooner or later, she arrived at the large hut the hashiras would have their meetings. feeling extremely tired, she plopped down on the soft grass and looked towards the sky. the bright sun was still up, but it'll be down soon in a couple of short hours. she was glad she made it back before sunset.

   the girl felt a familiar vibration coming from the ground, she immediately knew it was giyuu. her special taught ability was vibration of movement, meaning she could sense whoever is coming in her direction from almost 10 miles away. if [name] becomes familiar with the vibration that's being gave off, she will be able to tell who it is.

   "[name]." the monotone voice coming from the dark haired boy caused her to quickly stand up from her spot and bow to show respect to him. "hi, giyuu." her voice low but not low enough for him to not hear her.

   the man nodded his head approvingly at her short greeting, "your clothes are bloody. visit the butterfly estate before tomorrow afternoon, that's when shinobu leaves for her new mission." he informed her, bending down to pick up her bag. she assumed he's going to take it so he could replaced the food and other utensils that was stored inside.

   [name] stiffly nodded her head, heat rising to her ears once she noticed he was still standing there. 'why isn't he leaving?' she asked herself, 'i think i did something wrong..' watching his eyes study her face before looking down at her boots.

  "where did you find that?" he questioned bluntly, gesturing towards the white fox that was sitting quietly next to her shoe. it looked around, studying its surroundings with their big [eye color] eyes before yawning followed by a small yelp.

   the girl let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. 'i thought i did something wrong.' "..instead of a crow, i was assigned to an arctic fox." she says, staring down at the white fox causing it to stare back at her.

   giyuu's eyebrows furrowed with curiosity as [name] had this weird staring contest with the mammal. this was his first time seeing someone assigned with anything else other than a crow. he had other questions about her one week experience but decided to ask her later when she settled in. "oh .. okay."

   after her tense but comforting conversation with giyuu, she bowed once again before deciding she should be the one to leave first. she was now extremely tired and hoped to get enough sleep once she arrived to the butterfly mansion to get herself cleaned.

   it was quite scary sleeping where a demon could easily gobble you up. zenitsu made it a lot easier though, she thought about how the boy never slept unless he was knocked out and even if he is knocked out, he was still moving around. [name] hoped he got the rest he deserves once he's back to his home land.

   "[last name]!"

   her eyes lazily blinked at the loud red head. she noticed his presence earlier, but was too tired to try to hide away from him. "how was your first trip alone? i see you have a few wounds." his lips turned into a slight frown, observing the red liquid that soaked into her white clothing.

  "it was okay." the girl answered, followed by a yawn. she tried wiping the tiredness from her eyes causing rengoku to awe at the sight. in his eyes, she was a true beauty and he could spend his whole day staring at her if he could.

  "just okay?"

  "mhm."

  "i see!"

   rengoku learned to understand [name] was a little shy. a little..? lmao. moving on, the man loved her quiet and awkward personality. he was truly an extrovert who took an introvert as his own. he kept the younger girl company until she reached the butterfly mansion. although she gave him short and quick answers whenever he asked her a question, he was happy that she took the time and responded back.

  

   after getting patched up by aoi, another one of [name]'s close friends, she was now eating steamed dumplings as she sat outside. the wrap around her torso, upper arms, and chest made it hard for her to move, but she managed.

   she haven't seen any other hashiras around, so she assumed they were out dealing with missions. giyuu stopped by earlier, letting her know he changed out the items in her sack bag and was in the process of cleaning her once worn clothing. [name] appreciated him. even though he tends to push the others alway, she'll always be by his side to make him feel included.

   once she finished her hot meal, she closed her bento shut before standing from her spot. nino, the fox, was gone. she still didn't know the gender though. giyuu tried checking for her but the mammal had no private area, it weirded her out the more she thought about it. maybe it was some type of spirit guide. anyway, [name] decided to use they/them pronouns on nino.

  "oh, hello [name]. i was just looking for you." [name] turned her head only to find shinobu's petite figure. her hair wasn't pint up like most times, it fell to her shoulders, shaping her face beautifully. the girl tilted her head with her eyebrows furrowed. "we're having dinner later on tonight. i see you've already eaten, but it'll be great for you to stop by." she continued on, the same neutral expression on her face.

   the [hair color]-nette only nodded in response. she so badly wanted to join them for supper, but her body ached horribly and all she wanted to do was sleep her entire life away. she knew she would have to get used to the tired feeling eventually.

   after the older girl walked off, [name] went back inside the mansion and headed towards her assigned resting room. she slowly laid her body on the cushion and dozed off as the sun took its time going down.
