The next morning I was sitting in my futon drawing, still at the old mans hut. They explained a few things to me about being a demon slayer. I had woken up at 3 in the morning and got board and searched the hut. After an hour I knew the whole layout of the hut and how to escape if anything bad happened. After doing that I decided to draw the room I was staying in and at six in the morning Giyu walked into the room seemingly randomly.

I quickly drew my handgun "One move I'll shoot you" I said in an emotionless tone. Giyu looked visibly shocked and raised his hands showing he didn't have any weapons "Don't shoot. I only came in here to wake you up for training it's alright" I slowly started relaxing but kept holding the gun. Giyu walked towards me taking the gun, I didn't fight back letting him take the weapon "I never heard your name" Giyu mentioned. 

"My names Rhea" It felt weird not being an assassin anymore. Every time someone talked to me I resisted the urge to kill them, for some reason drawing calmed my mind. I only drew once though "nice to meet you now lets get to training" Giyu walked out of the room still carrying my handgun.  

After the training session I barely managed to walk into the hut. Right as I saw my futon it all went black. My eyes slowly opened feeling the sun beating down on me. "Ugh fuck what time is it" I sat up and looked at my watch. 6:30!!! I was supposed to be training an hour ago. I ran outside seeing Giyu staring at my handgun not noticing my presence. I began feeling the urge. I held my breath shutting out the urge. It was comfortable but also annoying here with Giyu and Urokodaki, it's almost like they're making me forget my training. It's making me angry.

I walk over to Giyu tapping his shoulder "Sorry I'm late I over slept" I walk over to the dummies and grab my wooden sword. "It's fine". I started using the water breathing forms "Water breathing first form water surface slash" I weaved in between the traps Giyu set up and decapitated the dummy 

"You're getting a hang of it...I-I'm proud of you" Giyu had a small smile and a blush on his face "Thank you" I didn't care if he was proud of me but I had no choice to be polite it was the right thing to do. I trained for the rest of the day before walking to a nearby hot spring to relax. I took off my clothes and slowly walked into the hot spring all of the cramps in my body going away as I sighed in relief 

I felt Giyu's presence behind me. "did you follow me here?" I was too tired to say anything else "I decided to check on you" I nodded my eyes still closed. I hated how vulnerable I was right now but the hot spring was way too relaxing 

"Can you put your breasts away?" I opened one of my eyes raising an eyebrow. My heart was beating really fast and that's never happened before "What?". I was really confused now. I wanted to beat him for saying that. "Sorry" Giyu muttered as I closed my teal eyes. Moving around before completely relaxing "It's alright...." I paused for a moment "Tomioka why are you so cold". He looked shocked and seemed to think for a while. "Sorry I pushed it I didn't know it was a sensitive subject" 

"My family was killed by a demon, my sister died protecting me when her wedding was the next day. I was determined to be mentally ill and when I was being transported away I escaped. Urokodaki found me and trained me along side a boy named Sabito. He was killed about during final selection." he interrupted. I felt shocked. One thought was going through my head, what would've happened if our roles were reversed. What would've happened saw Giyu that night and not me? Would he be a murder, would he be like me.

I felt something different in my heart. My eyes watered up "I'm so sorry". Giyu looked shocked that I was showing an actual emotion. I slowly stood up wrapping a towel around my body while turning to look at Giyu. I was so confused why was I feeling like this. It was so weird, I held one of my arms out and Giyu realized what I was doing an hugged me 

His presence was warm so warm, It was comforting. My whole body felt warm almost like I was never an assassin. I liked this feeling. I slowly wrapped my arms around Giyu melting into him. He held me close for a while I wasn't able to keep track of how long. "Lets go inside it's getting late" Giyu pulled away and started walking back to the hut 

I stayed up late that night thinking about a lot of things. I had completely forgotten about being an assassin. I grabbed the book of blank paper and began drawing,
