YOUR EYES WERE DOWNCAST, as you walked through the hideout's garden. Tears clouded your vision, but they never really streamed down your face.

You gripped the hem of your dress, feeling ashamed of your actions.

You looked up to see the gray skies, the clouds heavy, until you felt droplets of rain wet your face.

It dripped, and dripped, until it was heavily pouring.

Your heart felt heavy, but a small smile was plastered across your face. You took steps, until you were swirling around under the heavily pouring rain, the heaviness of your heart slowly disappearing as you enjoyed the rain's company.

You were completely running around the garden like a child, dancing and swirling with a sly grin plastered across your face.

You didn't care if you looked childish, if you looked dumb or stupid.

Father always call me dumb anyways.

You giggled as you sat on the bermuda grass, immediately feeling exhausted so you completely laid down.

Peace filling your mind.

But little did you know, you were being watched.

Dark dull eyes watching you from the mansion's balcony. He was confused. Why were you playing under the rain? Are you a child? Besides you could get sick the next day, you'll just burden him more by sending maids and a doctor to take care of you.

Or,

He's not just enjoying how his right-hand man was staring at you as if he is star-strucked?

Kakucho stood not that far away from you, his gloved-hand gently gripping the umbrella as his eyes never left your figure.

You look indeed stupid laying on the ground while the rain is heavily pouring.

But his sight caught the genuine smile etched on your face.

He was about to scold you for soaking yourself in the rain but seeing you smile, his mind almost stopped functioning.

You looked so precious. So fragile and vulnerable.

Before he could even knew it, a small smile appeared on his face.





The wooden railing of the balcony broke as Manjiro's palm bled.
