"ara ara. ARA ARAARARARARARAARARARARA" a short woman screamed, throwing her pillows onto the floor. "ARARARARAR-"
"kocho-sama!"
shinobu turned to see an angry aoi who's eyebrows were creased, and her lips were meshed together.
"sorry, aoi-chan." "it's fine just- what is it?" shinobu laughed nervously, smiling at aoi.
the two looked at each other in awkward silence for about two minutes.
"just spit it out." aoi, said, tapping her fingers against the door frame.
"i- uh-uhm.. I.."
"what is it?" aoi tapped her foot impatiently.
"okay uh— i've been.. hmm.. i've been asked on a.. a uh.."
aoi's face lit up, all the previous anger had completely disappeared, as she charged towards shinobu.
"a date?! is that what you've been asked on?! a date?! is it a date shinobu-san?!"
"ehh.. you could call it that" shinobu answered, scratching her head.
"okay okay okay okay okay." aoi said, looking shinobu up and down. "so, when is it? what will you wear? where will you be going?— aha: who asked you out?"
"ara ara, aoi-chan! it's at three this afternoon, i have no idea what to wear, i'll be going to their house and.. the person who asked me was.."
"come on! i haven't got all day."
shinobu sighed deeply.
"tomioka giyuu." she replied.
"WHO?!"
"tomioka giyuu." shinobu said louder, wincing at aoi's sudden shouting.
a smile stretched across the blue-haired lady's face. "i knew you were into him!"
"pardon me?"
"nothing. let's get you glammed up then." aoi said excitedly, pushing shinobu onto a chair.
"wh-"
∘₊✧───⋆♥⋆───✧₊∘
shinobu gasped loudly, as a mirror was shoved in her face.
"what? don't you like it?" aoi asked worriedly. "o-of course i do! it's just— this is really me?!" she replied. to her surprise, she looked like her late older sister more than ever!
shinobu wore a silky, black yukata, flowered with purple and white flowers.
(it looked somewhat like this)

"well, of course it's you! who else would it be?"
her hair was half up, half down, and every inch of her shiny face was painted in surprise.
"well then, you have about.." aoi glanced at the clock on the wall. "about 3 hours! 3 hours to kill." she said, wiping her hands agains each other, and walking out of the room.
"wait, aoi-chan!" shinobu said hurriedly.
the petite lady stopped and turned around. "mhm?"
"ありがとう (arigatou)"
aoi smiled at her, then continued to her own business in the kitchen to find a particular pesky boy digging through her food.
"now, what can I do in the three hours." shinobu muttered to herself. "shoot." she said in surprise.
"where does tomioka-san live?!"
∘₊✧───⋆♥⋆───✧₊∘
"tomioka giyuu. you are the most unromanticperson i have ever met." iguro said impatiently.
"ouch." giyuu replied, flicking iguro a distasteful glance.
"you can't possibly wear that on a date."
"why?"
"WHY?!"
giyuu was currently wearing his usual haori, he looked like his usual self, like no special event was happening in three hours.
iguro quickly flicked through giyuu's wardrobe which only inhabited two duplicates of his normal attire.
"why do you only have the same clothes in here?"
"because."
"okay then." iguro grabbed giyuu by the arm and dragged him out.

giyuu was now wearing a dark blue, black, and white yukata. he wore his hair how he usually did, and iguro clapped his hands and smiled.
he was dragged to a clothing shop and was made to wear more than 15 clothing items until iguro was satisfied with his current attire.
"well then. you're ready."

"excuse me, do you know where a man named tomioka giyuu lives?" shinobu asked desperately to a white-haired man with a weird, red mask. 👺
she had been trying to find where tomioka-san lived for the pass hour and a half, somehow stumbling into a market, asking everybody she came across.
"tomioka giyuu, you say? yes, i do happen to know where he lives."
"thank goodness!!" shinobu said, relieved.
"but may i ask why you need it?" the man asked curiously.
"oh yeah- uhm. i was asked on a date!" shinobu said cheerfully.
"ahh.. okay well he lives along the hot people road path. by the forest at the foot of the mountain a bit to the east."
"thank you, kind sir!" shinobu said, already setting off to the given address.
as she ran, she deeply resembled a purple butterfly.
finally. giyuu's gotten a girlfriend.
urokodaki smiled under his mask, and continued to pick out fresh groceries from the bustling market.
