Chapter Eight

~Next Day~

The first thing Genya did when he woke up was change and rush to the Butterfly Mansion to visit Muichiro

The whole time he was walking to the Mansion, his mind was just on the Mist Pillar

"I hope Muichiro is doing okay. Well, of course he is, Lady Shinobu is taking care of him." Genya quietly muttered to himself

The leaves crunched under Genya'sfeet, and the trees rustled from side to side

The walk was long, but it was peaceful, as there was no 110 pound human being on Genya's back that time

When he arrived at the Butterfly Mansion, he trotted over to the room with the beds, the door being wide open

He stepped inside, and turned his head

Then, Genya spotted Muichiro

He quietly jogged over to the Hashira, and stood over his bed

"Muichiro." Genya called

Muichiro was staring at the ceiling, not knowing Genya was there

"Muichiro." He tried again

At the point, Genya knew his voice wouldn't work, so he shook Muichiro's shoulder

"...Huh..? Oh, hi Genya!"

Genya smiled

His smile and his voice are irresistible, I can't get over it

"Hey Muichiro! You feeling better?"

Muichiro rubbed his head, "Yeah, but I'm a bit dizzy. And a bit sore. Also, why am I here again?"

Genya sighed, and explained everything

The mission, how Muichiro fainted, how he had to carry him here, and how he was overworking himself

"Take breaks, Muichiro. You don't want this happening again." Genya advised

"Hashira don't take breaks." He retorted sassily

Shinobu, who was completely forgotten about, butted in, "Tokito, taking breaks is a great way to rest your body and health. And since your body can't handle big clumps of stress, you might need to start taking breaks every once in a while."

Muichiro rolled his eyes and he agreed

"Me and Kanao have some things to take care of. I trust you both that you won't mess anything up?"

Genya and Muichiro nodded, and the Insect Hashira strut away with Kanao by her side

After Shinobu and Kanao left, Genya and Muichiro were left alone

"So...who's been covering my missions?" Muichiro asked

Genya replied jokingly, "Really?! Well, if you really want to know, then okay. Your missions have been canceled."

"Oh, okay."

And the awkward silence commenced

For a brief moment, Genya and Muichiro were looking at each other, lost in one another's eyes

As they both snapped out of their trances, Genya saw the clock

"Oh shoot! I have some things to take care of too! Will you be okay, Muichiro?"

Muichiro, who was about to fall asleep, tiredly nodded his head

Genya turned to the beds, "Bye Muichiro! See you tomorrow!"

As he was walking back, he saw a black and teal blue waving to him

He waved back, and started to walk home
