Sanemi Shinazugawa POV

The sweet floral smell stirs me wake. Feeling her feminine body pressing against me as I open my eyes. I slide my fingers up her arm and gently hold her hand.

Nora

Slight snores coming from her petite figure. She looks very peaceful sleeping in my arms. Unlike the memories of her last night. I close my eyes as the images and sound return to my mind. I shiver from a lasting sensation.

Was I too rough with her?

Blushing at the memories. She makes me feel powerful. Her witty remarks and how she is quick to give my attitude back to me.

I like her

Except... She will never compare to Kanae. The love I had for her. Kanae brought out the good in me. Nora brings out.... a different side of me.

Then why did I open up to her?
I told her things I've only said to Kanae.
I barely even know Nora.

Nora is loud and full of anger. Regardless this thought makes me smile. I was too rough. I left marks all over her body. Trailing my hand over the bruises.

I want to make her breakfast.
Should I apologize?
No she liked it.

Carefully I slide out of bed without waking her. Pulling the blanket up around her naked body. Leaving her alone as I slide on a robe to head downstairs. Lighting a few lanterns around my estate as I prepare to cook for her.

I don't want last night,
to be the last time.

"Happy Birthday!~"

The sound of multiple people screaming out. All of them leap out of hiding places around my kitchen. I grab my chest from the fright. If I hadn't been distracted thinking of Nora, I would have sensed their presence.

Shinobu is standing with a cake in her hands. While the other Hashira begin to cheer and sing. Tengen is looking up at the ceiling as he can hear what the other's can't. A girl's footsteps running from my bed to a nearby window to escape.

The annoying off pitch singing has me grouchy. Muichiro is looking around with more confusion than me. I glare at Giyuu who is leaning against a wall singing softly under his breath.

Then Tengen walks over and pats my back. I barely hear his whisper, "Sounds like you already had a celebration last night."

Trying to ignore him as Shinobu walks forward with a smile just like her sister. Seeing it pains me. Kindly she says, "Make a wish."

Typically I would quickly blow out the candles and demand they all leave. Except this time I smile slightly. I actually have a birthday wish this year...

I want Nora.

I exhale a huff of wind to seal my wish as the candles blow out. My obnoxious colleagues clap their hands for me.
