SaneGiyuu: Wind and Water don't get along

PART 7: THE KYOTO STAY

Giyuu and Sanemi walk together.
There were many houses on the side of the road.
There was a big house on the left side of the road. A beautiful young lady wearing a pastel green kimono was standing at the entrance. She waves at them.

Sanemi asks Giyuu:"Do you know her?"

"I don't know her."Giyuu responds.

They stop by the entrance of the house.

"You must be the demon slayers!"
She smiles warmly.

"Welcome!"
"You two will be staying here, in this house. We have heard that you have come to slay a demon. We were told to get the house clean for you to stay."
The girl said cheerfully.

"Ah! Thank you for the warm welcome!" Giyuu replies.

"So, let me take you to your rooms and also show you all the rooms."

"Sure."

"Oh! I almost forgot, how impolite of me! My name is Mochiko Nakamura. Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too. I am Tomioka Giyuu and this is my friend Shinazugawa Sanemi."

Sanemi looks at Giyuu when he mentioned Sanemi to be his friend.

Without realising it, Sanemi blushed and was flustered.

"Let's go then!"
The girl was very cheerful.

"Yes, sure."

The girl takes Giyuu and Sanemi inside the house.
She shows them all the rooms while Sanemi and Giyuu follow her.

"So this is the bedroom, this is the bathroom and this is....."

Sanemi looks around the house.
It is a simple but a pretty house, with plain decoration. There was a big window near which, was a big cherry blossom tree. The little pink cherry blossom petals would fly and land near the window.

It was a beautiful sight to see indeed.

"Thank you for your visit to Kyoto! Enjoy!"
The girl leaves.

"The house is pretty, isn't it?"
Sanemi asks Giyuu.

Giyuu doesn't respond.

"OI TOMIOKA!"

"Hmm?"

"I asked if the house is pretty!!!"

"Oh...yeah."

Giyuu sits down.
Looking at Giyuu, Sanemi sits down too.
Both facing the opposite direction.
Giyuu facing the window with cherry blossoms while Sanemi facing the door. Both rest on each other's back but Sanemi just leans on Giyuu calling it his 'rest position'.

Giyuu sighs.

They didn't want to speak or say anything. So they were silent. They both wanted to enjoy the silence.

A little later, Giyuu says:
"We will have to sleep during the day since we will have to slay the demon at night."

Sanemi nodded with agreement.

"We should take a bath." Says Sanemi.

"Hmm."

"You can go first Shinazugawa-San..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Fine then."

Sanemi gets up and leaves the room.
He comes back after half an hour.

"I'm back. You can go now."

Sanemi comes to the room wearing a pastel green kimono similar to the one that girl was wearing. He looked very neat with his soft white hair bouncing out.
Also, his chest wasn't revealed like it was in his uniform.

Giyuu turns around and looks at Sanemi. He looks at Sanemi's feet traveling all the way up to his hair.

Giyuu had never seen Sanemi looking like this ever, so he was a little stunned.

Why the heck is Tomioka staring at me like this!?

"WHAT!?" Yelled Sanemi.

"You look good." Said Giyuu looking as tired and uninterested as he always does."

Sanemi gets irritated again...
