Hashira Meeting

Tomiokas POV around 1 pm

"Maki, I'm gonna head out now, I have a meeting and I'm not sure when I'll be back so, just make lunch for yourself." I said.

"oh what a shame, I was gonna make salmon daikon." Maki said sarcastically. I stopped in my tracks, and turned to her.

"Salmon Daikon?" "mhm." "What a bitch move." I muttered. I opened the front door and began heading to the main building. I walked for around 2 hours and I bumped into someone while still walking.

"yikes! I'm so sorry- Oh Tomioka-San! You must be on your way to the meeting right?" The love hashira asked.

"uh, yes." I replied. "Well, since we're both going, may I walk alongside with you?" Kanroji asked.

I thought about it and I nodded. We both began walking together at each others side.

"So, Tomioka, how are you doing now? Do you have scars? You should show them like shinazugawa-San!" Kanroji asked excitedly.

"Uh, I'm doing fine. Yes I have scars, and I don't think showing them suits me." I replied, again.

"Wow, that's the most I've heard you say! You have such a soothing voice, you should speak more! Why don't you speak more?" She questioned.

"Thank you? I don't speak a lot because, Kocho says nobody likes me. It's true, so yeah." I answered. She looked at me with puppy dog eyes, tears began forming in her eyes.

"I apologize, did I say something wrong?-" I was cut off by her crying.

"WAHH-Tomioka-San! Why didn't you just say that! I like you! I can be your friend!" Kanroji wailed, she then hugged me and didn't let go. I dragged her around until we got at the mansion, with almost all the hashira already waiting.

Everyone who was there stared at me and Kanroji, I lower my head and whispered to her.

"Kanroji, let go, they're all staring." I said. She opened her eyes, still embracing me, and realized everyone was staring and was red from embarrassment. Shinobou just stared at me and her. I quickly looked away and Kanroji let go and walked next to Iguro, who was death-staring me. I walked over to Shinobou.

"What was she doing?" Shinobou asked. "Uh-Nothing. Are we late?" I replied. She is obviously didn't believe me and sighed.

"No, some of us just got here. We're discussing about you, correct?" She asked again. I nodded. Two younger girls came out the door and chanted in sync.

"The Master will arrive shortly," They both said and walked back in. Everyone looked up at them and formed into a line.

"What do you think we'll be discussing today?" I heard Kanroji ask.

"Probably that dumbass water pillar and the uppermoon. It was only upper 4, someone as useless as him shouldn't even be in the corps." Iguro replied to her.

"Iguro-San! Don't say that ever again, that's really rude." Kanroji defended me. I couldn't help but look down.

"Tch, Kanroji you know he's right. He couldn't fucking slice the demons head off, what makes you think he'll be able to slay a weaker demon? Me and you both know Tomiokas just a useless little cunt who thinks he's better than us. He should've just died out there." Shinazugawa added to Iguro and Kanrojis conversation. I gripped my sheath, how would he know? He hasn't even gone near an uppermoon. He's just a shithead who just says shit because he wants too. I was stuck into thought until I heard the girls voice again in sync.

"The master has arrived." We instantly kneeled down, "We wish for your Good Fortune, Oyakata-Sama." Himejima said. "Thank you, my children." A soothing voice said. We all lift our heads, still not getting up.
