2nd Chances

Part 12

(2 months later)

He completely spaced out as he hugged onto her from behind, his chin being placed on top of her head.

"G-Giyuu, what are you doing?" Shinobu said doing her best to wrestle his large arms off her.

Too late, all the others had noticed the commotion.

Giyuu finally snapped out of his trance like state as he remembered where he was.

He had zoned out after a meeting. His eyes quickly looking around before he realized what he was doing.

He let go immediately upon noticing the others looks and stares.

"Sorry." Giyuu mumbled as he stepped back.

Their relationship was supposed to be private, and he may have just accidentally screwed that up now.

He spent a rather lonely 4 weeks without seeing her even once, so of course he wanted to be with her. He just may have subconsciously did so when he wasn't paying attention.....

He scolded himself mentally, how could he keep such large secrets safe but something like this he let slip out.

A rather eager Mitsuri rushed over to the two immediately.

"OHMYGODIDIDNTKNOWTHATYOUTWOWER-"
She excitedly squealed in one breath.

Shinobu instantly moving her hand to cover Mitsuri's mouth.

"Please don't." Shinobu begged as she shushed Mitsuri.

"Tomioka, I didn't know that you had such a relationship with little Miss Kocho." Tengen said as he fast approached them.

Giyuu exhaled a heavy sigh, if there's one thing he didn't miss it's definitely Tengen's brown nosing.

Mitsuri and Tengen had seen them hug once and now they were going to probably blow it out of proportion.

Actually, everyone saw what Giyuu did, which only made it worse.

Shinobu's eyes shot daggers into his back as he watched Tengen trot over.

"I didn't know you were one to hide such things." Tengen said with his fingers on his chin.

"It wasn't hidden, we just never mentioned it." Giyuu said, half lying.

Tengen's grin only widened since he knew it was almost definitely a lie.

Like a sudden blessing befell onto Giyuu, Sanemi spoke.

"Oi, leave em alone." Sanemi lightly shouted across the courtyard.

Tengen's head slowly turned to his left, he eyed Sanemi and Kanae before smiling and immediately walking towards them.

It seems that, for the moment, Tengen would not bother them.

Unfortunately, as soon as shinobu let go of Mitsuri's mouth she immediately began speaking again, although at a much quieter level this time.

"I didn't know that you two were together!" She said  with a face of disbelief.

Shinobu tugged Giyuu over to her and gave him a look saying 'you deal with it'.

"We, ummmmm....." he didn't know how to respond.

Giyuu decided to tell the truth, the metaphorical cat was already out of the bag anyway.

"We......are." He said while staring at Shinobu.

Mitsuri's face immediately lit up even more then it did prior.
