Shizen no Kokyou. (Shinobu x Male Reader) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 14

The last afternoon, Shinobu Koucho had steeled her heart and rejected Y/N L/N.

Currently, she was with Kanao following her as they were roaming in the garden, when her crow comes up to her and starts to speak in a grief filled voice.

Shinobu's Crow: Upon the aftermath of the battle at Mugen Train, the Flame Hashira, Kyoujuro Rengoku has been killed in action!

Shinobu's sword falls out of her hand.

Shinobu: Rengoku, huh...?

Her eyes suddenly widen as she starts to run.

Shinobu: Y/N...!

---

Y/N: ...

Dove: Y/N... Say something...

Y/N: ... Tell the workers... To prepare the dummies... I'm going to train...

Dove: I asked you a question, Y-

Y/N: *glaring at the bird* You're a messenger of mine. Nothing more. Don't forget your place. Do your job and send the message.

The dove sighs.

Dove: Fine... I'll send the message... Master L/N...

---

Y/N was in the training room, his sword in his hand, and he was glaring at the dummy in front of him.

Y/N: Nature Breathing. Second Form. Wrath of Nature.

He sends a HUGE strike, followed by multiple smaller ones, as the dummy is obliterated to nothingness.

Y/N: Another.

The workers quickly replace the dummy in fear as Y/N gets in his stance again.

Y/N: Total Concentration Breathing. Nature Breathing. Second Form. Wrath of Nature.

Even more destruction follows, as Y/N looks at the destruction with a blank face.

Y/N: Another.

We see that the area was completely destroyed from Y/N's "training".

Worker: Umm... Master L/N, we're out of dummies... You... You destroyed them all... Even the ones meant for the other Hashiras to train... And you're using your sword instead of the training sword at top of that...

Y/N: Are you questioning my decisions...?! I. Said. Another.

Worker: But-

Y/N clicks his tongue and sheathes his sword before walking out of the destroyed area.

Shinobu: Y/N!

Y/N turns around and sees Shin- Koucho.

Y/N: What is it, Koucho?

Shinobu clenches her fist at Y/N calling her Koucho.

Shinobu: ...

She hugs Y/N tightly.

Shinobu: I know I'm the last person you wish to talk to... But if you do, then I'm here... I'm so sorry about Mr. Rengoku...

Y/N does not hug her back, instead, he keeps staring at Shi- KOUCHO!, with his blank and expressionless face.

Y/N nods and pushes her away with slightly too much force as he turns around and keeps walking.

Aoi was worried sick. Her hands were shaking terribly, her eyes darting left and right, as she kept running as fast as she could.

She was looking for someone.

A certain boy.

A certain "horse-voice" boy, to be precise.
