Scars Of Love | Iguro Obanai

08

Excitement and fear filled the insect pillar's veins as she raced towards your room in high hopes, being able to hear a hopeful news about you was something. Mitsuri was following behind her too in joy for their friend, you were finally showing positive signs. Are you going to wake up anytime?

She could only smile at the thought of you fluttering your eyes open for a long time, Mitsuri missed you so much just as much as Shinobu does. And the love pillar couldn't wait another second to see your smile again, she would have to call the others if you wake up today.

"We're better off without her."

Her bright smile was immediately replaced with a frown when Iguro's words surfaced on her thoughts like an ugly dead frog on a beautiful lake, she almost forgot about him and now his words came back to haunt her.

"Kanroji." Mitsuri blinked as she turn around at the mention of her last name.

The love pillar's eyes held a surprised look to see the water pillar standing in front of her with his usual stoic expression.

"Tomioka-san!" she exclaimed in surprise while he only gave her a nod as an acknowledgement of her presence.

This guy was definitely calm and tired by fighting off demons, she can tell by the bags under his eyes. He's been on patrol, Mitsuri wondered if he was wounded.

Her eyes widen in realization.

Right! He might be wounded!

With a now panicked look on her face, Mitsuri tried looking around for the other butterfly girls available in the estate before also trying to check on the calm pillar in front of her in case he suddenly collapse and needs to be carried in one of the rooms.

"I'll just look for the girls! Please stay right there Tomioka-san!" was all she could say before Giyuu held her wrist firmly.

His hazy blue eyes stared at her panicked ones "I don't have any injuries, I simply came here to visit [Last Name]."

Oh.

Mitsuri slowly calmed down as his words sunk into her head, she gave him a smile in return. Relieved that there was nothing wrong with her co-pillar, even though they weren't close with each other. The love pillar still cares for her comrades, and just by hearing the reason why he's here in the first place filled her heart with warmth and joy.

Giyuu was known to be distant and alone as he wasn't very communicative with everyone, also it didn't helped when most of the pillars can't tolerate his presence for being aloof.

But when you joined and became a pillar, Mitsuri always find you approaching the quiet man whenever you can. Despite how cold he was towards you, it didn't really stop it from creating colorful conversations with him until the love pillar witnessed the thing that was impossible to see.
