The 4th Wife | Tengen Uzui x Fem! Reader

When we first met...

Y/n's POV -

It was morning and Suma, Makio and Hinatsuru had already left for their mission. Tengen was also out on a mission, but I knew it wouldn't take him too long, so I decided to head over to Shinobu's to see how things were going. 

As I was walking, I noticed a group of kids running around in a field. So peaceful and carefree, its been a while since I was like that. 

From a young age, I had always been put to work to become something amazing. It was just me and my father at the time, until he met his now wife. 

He would train me constantly, and tried to teach me his breathing style (Stone breathing), but I could never get it. I tried all the others, but failed as well. I was honestly ready to give up. 

But Hana, my father's wife, who was a Hashira at the time, asked if I wanted to try one last breathing style before I gave up completely. I agreed, and that's how I learned spirit breathing.

I'm glad that Hana believed in me. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have met Uzui. 

It's actually pretty funny how we met... 

Flashback - 

I have just been named the new Spirit Hashira. It was a very excited to say the least, but I have a lot to live up to. Hana is counting on me. 

I had been given a quick summery of all the other pillars, and I saw no issues. I don't think I'll have a problem making friends. 

- 

Master: As you all know, Y/n L/n will being joining us as our new Spirit pillar. Please make her feel welcome. 

I stood beside the Master, looking at all the people I would be working with. 

Y/n: Hello! I hope we can all work well together! 

A flash a smile and wave slightly. Tough crowd, no one barely even looked at me. 

I walked over and stood in line beside them all. I was next to a tall, white haired man with a red mark on his face. I starred at him, trying to figure out his skill level, but he caught me and gave me a glare. 

Man: What are you looking at? 

Y/n: What's your breathing style? 

Man: Sound, the flashiest of all the techniques.  

I nod, not completely sure what he meant. 

Man: The name is Tengen Uzui. 

Y/n: Y/n L/n. 

Tengen: I know. You got style. 

I smile at him, and he blushed slightly. He seemed so cool, and strong too. However, I was glad to have met him. 

Master: Y/n, if you don't mind, would you showcase your ability's for us? 

Y/n: Of course! 

Master: Tengen, could you spar with her? 

Tengen: Sure, you ready? 

I turned to him and smirked. I may be small, but I'm not weak, that's for sure. 

Y/n: Are you? 

I giggled and he smirked back at me. 

- 

And that's how it happened. I never would've thought that I would be Tengen Uzui's wife, but it's the best decision I ever made. 

The only problem is that his family knows nothing about me. He was instructed to only have 3 wives, nothing more, nothing less. 

However, even though it was his choice to marry me, I can't help but feel second to the others. I can understand, but it makes me sad to know that this part of my life has to be hidden away. 

After a bit more walking, it had already become dark, but I had made it to the Butterfly Mansion. I let myself inside, since me and Shinobu were good friends, and made my way to her room. 

I pulled the door open, but she was already asleep. I smiled at her, and closed the door behind me. 

As I turned around, I was startled to see Shinobu, standing wide awake behind me. 

Shinobu: Y/n! Did you need something? 

Y/n: Ah- No, I was just wanted to see how everyone was doing. 

I stuttered and she noticed as I hardly ever did. 

Shinobu: Are you okay, Y/n? Do you need more medicine- 

Y/n: Shhhh! Don't talk about it out loud! 

Shinobu: Have you still not told anyone? It's nothing to be ashamed of. 

Y/n: I don't want anyone worrying. 

Ever since I was 6 years old, I had suffered from an illness. It's called Hyptoplasia.

It means my organs to snap like bones. (If this is a real illness, please tell me the actual name!!!) (a/n: so months later I found this is a real illness, sorry to all the people suffering from this and if I have made any mistakes in describing it let me know)

Only three people know. My father, Hana and Shinobu. I told her because of her expert medical knowledge. She was able to make a medication for me, so It hasn't been happening a lot for the past few years. 

I haven't told Tengen the exact illness, only that I had one. I don't want him to worry even more about me than he already does. 

Shinobu: Well, you should everyone when you are ready. Would you like to stay the night? 

I looked out a window. Seeing how dark it was outside, It was probably best. 

Y/n: That's a good idea, thank you. 

Shinobu: It's not a problem at all! You are always helping people, it's good to get rest. 

She showed me to a guest room. I changed into a spare robe, and slipped under the cold sheets.

(A/n): Qotd - If you had to have one breathing technique, what would it be? <3
