Fluttering Hearts Unveiled

Chapter 7

Sanemi scowled ahead at Giyuu, they were still waiting for Shinobu to arrive or they would've pulled each others hair out "What are you staring at, rat face" Sanemi growled

Giyuu rolled his eyes "You were in front of me"

Sanemi pointed ahead "Yeah, like you'd look at me for no reason!"

"Stop yelling, you feral child" Giyuu teased 

"I've a mind to punch you in the face" he muttered

.......

"Sanemi" Giyuu called out

Sanemi held in the urge to throw his disposable chopsticks into his eyeballs "What?!"

"Do you hate me?" Giyuu asked, he tried his hardest to make his words not sound cocky

Sanemi's eyes widened and he blinked at him continuosly before saying "Yes"

"Why?"

"Everything about you pisses me off" Sanemi said

"That's no reason though?" Giyuu said air-headedly

"Because you think you're better than all of us, you stay away because you think you're so different from the other Hashira"

Giyuu's eyes widened and he blinked at him "I stay away for reasons I'd rather not tell. And I don't even deserve to be the Water Hashira"

"What the f**k is that supposed to mean!?" he said aggressively

"I'm not the Water Hashira!" he yelled, he lost control, no thought behind his words

"Of course you are! Look at yourself!" somehow Shinobu didn't hear the argument

"Sanemi, how many demons did you kill at final selection?" he asked aggressively

"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?" Sanemi felt like throwing something at him, he looked around and there was nothing compatible for throwing

"ANSWER MY QUESTION" Giyuu almost punched the table

"Twelve. Now what?" Sanemi crossed his arms

"Guess how many I killed?" he said, almost about to cry

Sanemi rolled his eyes "I don't know, and I don't care" Giyuu looked persistent so he answered "Seven."

"Zero. I had to get my a** saved by someone else, and they went and got killed"

Sanemi stayed speechless for a while "So you were weak as a child, multiple children die during final selection. Look at you now" He thought about Giyuu's words
"Let me guess, you think the guy who saved you should've been the Water Hashira?"

Giyuu nodded

"Then f**king think about your words and realize that you're wrong. We've all thought these thoughts, we've all felt unworthy, we've all failed ourselves, and we've all lost somebody.
So swallow your pride and do what your dead a** friends want you to do"

Giyuu's eyes widened, some tears formed in his eyes

"What, you're now a crybaby? Pathetic" Sanemi rolled his eyes back

"Shut up, you a**hat" he wiped away tears, he looked mad, but he wasn't

"What's this? Huston we have a personality" he smiled, knowing he had succeeded in toughening up the tall child in front of him

'"Thanks for whatever the hell you just did to me" Giyuu looked up and leaned back of nothing, he fell back onto his back

"I keep forgetting how stupid you are" Sanemi looked at him in disgust

Authors note: In case you don't get it, instead of apologizing to Giyuu for picking on him, Sanemi practically told him to stop getting depressed over s**t he couldn't control and was in the past. He was trying to toughen him up.

He looked towards Shinobu and ended up staring at her for a while. Sanemi took notice of this and threw his chopsticks at his head

"What the hell was that for?" Giyuu said, rubbing his head

"Stop staring at her, it looks creepy" Sanemi rolled his eyes to the sky

"Still though, why do you always throw something at me when I talk with Kocho?"

"Because I don't like you talking with her"

"How wonderful can someone get at explaining?" Giyuu said sarcastically

"Why you-" he took a breath and exhaled "Because you look and act stupidly around her"

"But why are you acting like an overprotective brother around the two of us ?"

"I've no idea what you're talking about, I act completely normal around you two" He muttered

There was a silence

"But" Sanemi started, he looked away, he couldn't say it normally. "If there is a world where you love her, don't. For the love of god, don't. Just get over it and swallow those feelings"

Authors note: I just realized it looks like this is SaneGiyuu, IT ISN'T. He's saying not to love Shinobu for other reasons. HE ISN'T JEALOUS, OKAY? I dislike SaneGiyuu

Giyuu blinked rapidly at Sanemi "What? Why?"

Sanemi looked down at his mug "Do you?"

"Maybe? But why do you have anything against it"

"I have two reasons, one is because she's like a sister to me, and I hate you"

"And the second reason?"

Silence filled the air

"Sanemi" Giyuu said forceefully

"I can't tell you, it's because of a promise I made to Shinobu. I can't tell you what it was"

Giyuu felt skepticle on whatever Sanemi was talking about, he knew the he didn't like Shinobu, but what could h possibly have against him liking her? He concluded that he was just being protective, but a voice said there was something else going on
