Never Be Apart ( Tomioka Gyiuu x Shinobu Kocho Fanfic)

Hashira Meeting

3rd Person

"Hmph! I wonder what this meeting's all about. I hope it will be flashy!"

"Tch, well whatever it is....I'm sure that the Master has more information."

"What kind of cloud is that again? The name....of it...Oh I don't remember."

"Ah...I pray for his at most recovery and at ease for whatever the cause is."

Tomioka

It sure is a few of us than last time. Only Tengen, Sanemi, Gyomei, Muichiro and I remained in the gardens. The rest of Hashiras are on missions.

Kocho.... My mind wandered to her face. Her annoying way of speech.

"The Master of the Mansion has arrived."

We heard the girls say as they led the Master to the open area.

We bowed to him.

"My Children, it brings me great joy to see you all here again. But I must conclude that I will not bring you great news." He began.

"Master whatever it is that you are unable to fight. Please allow me to lend you my strength." Sanemi spoke up.

The Master smiled at Sanemi's willing to fight. I wish I had that kind of will. I clenched my fists unknowingly. I felt a nudge on my shoulder. I turned to the Hashira. It was Tengen Uzui-the Sound Hashira-.

"I appreciate your eagerness Sanemi. However, I have important news. Shinobu Kocho, has been taken by Muzan Kibutsuji." He said.

The garden was quiet. Almost too quiet.

"What?!? That's impossible!!! Master are you sure!?!" Sanemi shouted. He turned towards me. Hatred and Anger written all over his face.

Sanemi stepped of place, glaring at me. "You bastard!!! You've got a lot of nerve coming here!! What the hell you're trying to pull here? What's your deal huh?!? You got Shinobu taken and now she might be dead because you, Tomioka!!" He unsheathed his sword, pointing at me.

I looked at him with content and at most bored. I too unsheathed my sword.

He grinned while laughing. "I guess you should have went with her, Tomioka. Like you always do. Maybe. I bet that this was your fault to begin with!!! To let her die!!" He accused me.

I grunted gripping my sword's hilt. My hands were shaking. Normally, I'd ignore Sanemi's threats and his outburst. But this.

How dare he accused me of sending Kocho to her death!!!!

Sanemi chuckled at me once more. "Give it your best shot, Water Pillar." He taunted.

Before I could strike him. I noticed Master was listening to us. And Tengen's hands were on his dual swords.

Tengen stepped in front of me. He gave me a look saying 'not now'. I placed my sword back into its sheathe.

He then addressed Sanemi. His voice was loud and serious. "Sanemi, enough of this. Let the Master finish speaking. What would Rengoku do if he was here listening to your words, hmmm." Tengen called out to him.

I saw Sanemi gritted his teeth while glaring at me but he calmed down when hearing Tengen's words about Rengoku. He faced the Master. We kneeled on the ground.

"Master, on our behalf of Tomioka and I...forgive our outbursts." He spoke.

I on the other hand looked bewildered. "Our outbursts" more like yours.

The Master smiled.

"You have the whereabouts my children. You all are dismissed." He said to us.
