Giyuu Tomioka, a quiet soul, becoming a Hashira was his biggest mistake. He only wanted to be a demon slayer to avenge his sister and best friend death, not the highest rank of being one, he would tell Kagaya-sama but he doesn't want the others to think that he is better than them let alone weaker than them. He was the hated water Hashira, not a single person liked him besides the kamaboko squad, they were the only ones who liked him, beside Muichuro. He enjoyed being alone but one person has to ruin it. He always looked at Misturi, seeing her as her oldest sister but would get slapped if he stared for too long, it has caused him to flinch a lot at any movement or noise.

He walked to his estate, he had just gotten news from Kagaya-sama, which was another mission, this was his 10 mission this week, he couldn't even sleep or rest, the master apologized deeply for this but knowing Tomioka, he said it was fine, he got a few stuff ready and he was quick to start walking out the entrance of the butterfly mansion, a few of his fellow hashiras spotted him and made comments, causing him to walk even faster, but a certain insect crossed his path, "Oh, Tomioka-San." she said coldly, not wanting to speak to him, "Kocho-San..I'm sorry." as he said that he moved out of her way and finally left the butterfly mansion, he sighed from relief and went to the place where the mission took place, a demon has been roaming around there, killing people before their best wedding day, sounds familiar, right? he forgot his home town name but it had to do with Fukushima Prefecture or so, that's what his sister said before she died, let alone to have the town think he's crazy.

He arrived there at night, it was 1:40 right now, he walked up a hill and saw a familiar house, seemed abandon, he enter the house and saw old blood let alone with some ripped cloth on the ground, he explored the house and everything came at him at once, this was his home town, his home, the blood of his sister, the cloth on the ground, the closet where he hid, the glass on the floor, he slowly walked over to his sister room. Once he found it, he laid on the futon and started crying, the same sobs that was from the same child who lost his sister, the child crying into the futon and gripping onto the haori of his brave sister. Sobbing quietly was all you can hear, the town was peaceful at night, not a single person dared to go into the Tomioka's  household. The rumors, oh the rumors that ran though the town when he was a child. How pathetic for him, a hashira that barely showed emotions, crying in the house where the demon appeared that day.

He flinched at a sudden loud scream, he immediately got up, grabbed the handle of his sword and ran towards the scream, he wiped his tears along the way, he knew it was the same demon from 15 years ago, he stopped where the citizens at the town were gathered at, some men trying to pull of the 'person' off the lady, her fiance  watched in horror, the women had a hug claw mark on her leg, sobbing loudly. The demon stopped and turned his head, "Oh my. Is that...The same child from 15 years ago? Giyuu Tomioka?!~" The demon asked, the town looked at him, shocked to see how grown he was, he walked towards the demon and in a split second, the demon head was cut off, the town watched as it faded away, yelling, "I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!! I SWEAR I WILL! I WAS ABOUT TO BECOME MUZAN-SAMA KIZUKI!!" Tomioka did not care, therefore he had avenged his sister's death by slicing the demon head off, it was an easy task, "T-Tomioka.." one of them said, "Not a word. You'll think I'm crazy again. that was a demon. 15 years ago." He walked off, more like disappeared, leaving a med kit in the injured lady hand, her fiance helped. He was too tired to deal with anyone tonight. he wanted to sleep, resting was all he wanted.

When he got back, he went to Kagaya-sama estate, there was a meeting there, all the other hashiras there, "Kagaya-Sama. I'm back." his voice was slightly cracked from wanting to cry but he managed not to do so, "Tomioka, fill us in on your mission!" the master clapped his hand in a joy-ish way, "Fukushima Prefecture town. at 2:10, a demon spotted harming an engaged lady." Kagaya smiled, "Thank you Tomioka, you may go rest, you went 7 days without sleep." He nodded and started slowly walking to his estate, he heard someone running after him, he was too tired and ran to his estate, he managed to escape the others and lock his doors and windows, he laid on his futon, he pulled out a box filled with red ribbons and bows. He stared off into space, holding the box close to him, drifting off to sleep, humming a tone.

It was morning now and as usual, he didn't get any mission from his crow except a 3 day off, he was happy with that but had to deal with someone who also had their three day off, Shinazugawa Sanemi and Obanai Iguro, the two that hated Giyuu the most, he slowly went outside and looked to his left and right before walking inside the medical estate to pick up his anti-depressant and his daily breakfast, he was the only Hashira that would be an early crow, when he entered the medical estate, he froze as he saw Sanemi and Obanai, Sumi gave Tomioka his pills and food, "Tomioka-San!! Here's your pills and breakfast! the usual! Need anything else?" Giyuu just smiled which was barely noticeable, "No Sumi..thank you." he bowed and quickly left the medical estate, not wanting to be questioned by those two. he made it safely to his estate, he opened the pill bottle and put 2 in his glass cup of water and drank it quickly and he ate his breakfast,  as he finished, Sanemi kicked his door down and stared at him, "Oi! Shit head!" he cracked his knuckles and laughed like a maniac, Obanai just watched, "This is what you get for ignoring us and for staring at Misturi!" Obanai yelled, Tomioka just closed his eyes and took the beating he got, he deserves it after all for just being rude and thinks he is better than everyone.

The two left the bleeding Tomioka on the floor, small tears rolling down his face, he wished Sabito was here but no, the stupid hand demon had to crush his head and ate him, he helped himself up and sat up, everything was dizzy, he wanted to go to Urokodaki  house, he finally decided it was time to go pay his fatherly figure a visit, he cleaned himself up and got ready and disappeared into in thin air, he arrived at Urokodaki place and knocked on the door, the door swung open and there was the old former Hashira, "Ah, Giyuu!" He hugged the Raven haired male who hugged back, he trained himself to not flinch around his trainer who cared deeply for him, they both went inside and sat down, talked for a bit, had tea and much more! How kind of the former Hashira! "Well, I have to get going" Tomioka stood up and hugged Urokodaki before waving goodbye and leaving, he once again disappeared into thin air.

There was a question that had bothered Giyuu the most, and it was "Why?" why did the other hashiras hate him? why do they even talk to him if he's so bothersome, They have told him to go away so many times and then they say that they need him to do their missions, that was the only thing he was useful for and they when he comes back injured and on the verge to die..

They just don't

CARE SO WHY DO I STILL EXIST?! WHY AM I SO KIND AND USELESS?!
