I'm deaf..not ignorant.

6. Sleepover

(POV Giyuu Tomioka)
I woke up. I was feeling strange. Right, I was at the flame estate. And in his bed. I forgot that he wouldn't just bring me to my home. I must have passed out there.. I got out from his bed and walked over to the kitchen. Rengoku was there, making some foor. I got to him. "Good morning...I should go home now.." I said and felt uncomfortable because I just SLEPT in the house of the man I have feelings for. That was too crazy and I didn't want to spent any other minute in that estate. I needed time alone to calm myself down. He lookef at me with dissapointment in his eyes but then nodded on my idea of leaving because he didn't have any other choice then agreeing. He gave me some box with food and lot me go. As soon as I got home, I opened the box. There wasn't anything special about it, just food. I got the idea of eating it for a second but then I looked at my waist and quickly changed my mind. But still, I didn't wanted to waste Rengoku's cooking so I decited to give it to my crow Kanzaburou. He really enjoyed Rengoku's food so I was glad that atleast someone could taste it. I was lucky I have Kanzaburou because the food would be somewhere in the trash by now. I felt that I wanted to give him something in return for his kindness. I started thinking about the facts I knew about him. I only knew the things that some of the kinder hashiras wrote down about him in the "How I like my comrades" book that I found in the hashiras library. I knew that he likes food, color red, his family and.. then I finally figured out whwt I will give to him. It was a free hotel room in his favorite city in the state France called Paris. I knew that he liked France the most besides Japan so I was thinking that might be a great idea. But then, it hitted me. We are hashiras, we can't just leave the HQ like nothing for a 'vacation'. That could never happen. So I just looked at the ceilling while laying in my bed and thinking. Then someone walked into my room. I looked there and saw the snake guy. Right, Rengoku told me his name. Obanai. "Can.. you please leave?" I said quietly, hoping he won't say anything and just go away. I didn't have the mood to be bullied right now. Instead of leaving, we walked over to me and gave me a paper. Then he left. His behaviour towards me was unusual, it felt unreal. I looked at the paper, thinking it will be some kind of threatening or some bullshit about me. But actually:

All hashiras!
There will be a hashira sleepover at the sound estate! Everyone is welcomed. If you would like to go, come around 6PM. There will be food, drinks and a lot of fun.
Mitsuri Kanroji & Tengen Uzui.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Someone invited me somewhere. Who was this Tengen? I knew Mitsuri, Rengoku told me about her but Tengen? Never knew he exits. It was probably the sound hashira as said from the location. 6PM..maybe- "What am I thinking?! I can't go! I would only be a bother.." I yelled at myself when I started thinking about going.

Around 6PM, I saw someone at my door. I got there and opened. Rengoku was standing there, without his usual corps uniform. He had a red kimono with little "fire-ly" ends like on his haori. He looked at me curiously and gave me a note: 'Why aren't you dressed up? We're gonna be late to the sleepover!' Said the note. I sadly looked at Rengoku and said. "I'm not going. I will only be a bot-" Rengoku grabbed my wrist, which made me stop in the middle of my sentence. He came inside my house and started looking for my kimono, although I said that I can't go. He found it and gave it to me. 'You're going. Dress up!" He wrote on a piece of paper and lot me read it. I shaked my head in dissagreement but he was too convinced that I must go. Just because he wanted to, I changed into the kimono and came to him. Did it complete the favor I had for him after he gave me the food? I didn't know but I just followed him. We came to this huge estate with a sign of the sound on it. I walked in and Rengoku knocked on the door. I was a little bit behind him so I didn't need to speak. This tall, white-haired man opened the door. He had jewelry all around him that I was thinking that he must be uncomfortable wearing all of those. It must have been the Tengen Uzui from the letter. He immediately started talking with Rengoku and we got inside of the estate. It was really beautiful, nothing like mine. I barely had any furniture at my estate but this place had paintings on the walls, expensive vases and more. But when I looked at Rengoku, he was gone and so was Tengen. I was left all alone at a unknown house with people that didn't know that I can't hear them. I walked to a corner and tried to ignore everything around me but then...
