Meeting You Again -Sabigiyuu- (Requests open)

Not a hallucination

Giyu's Pov

My skin feels like it's trapping my organs in me. My bones are keeping my soul in a trap. I cannot be free I do not know such thing as real freedom. Is that the reason people kill? To let the victim have a release to the feeling of the freedom they themselves dream of. I am not sure and not ready to find out either.

I was breathing. That's good in this situation. But my breathing was slow and not peaceful. Every breath i took felt like fighting for a real feeling of being alive.

After what seemed like hours i am faintly able to open my eyes. I bolt myself up on the bed to a sitting position. It felt like it had been years since the feeling of fresh air hit me, the light of nature luring me into the woods to explore and the sight of life.

I would not let myself lay back, no not anymore. I have laid on the bed for too long. As my thoughts are spreading i am not sure if it's my thoughts or me speaking.

The little steps are what brought me back to my senses outside of my mind once again. I bring myself to raise my head to see no one else than Kocho standing there. She was wearing her hashira uniform perfectly on place and her dark hair up as always only leaving few strands of hair free with the purple color floating free in the slight wind.

Her face expression was a little shocked but i could not blame her. I must look quite horrible after the endless hours of being trapped without any signs of life or seeing the light of nature ever again.

"Tomioka-san?" Kocho asked with a gentle smile on her face. I tried to answer something but i took too long to process words for her to speak again. "How are you?" i hear her ask me without bad meanings, at least not any i can hear nor see.

"Where's Sabito?" That's the first thing i could get outside of my mind. The only thing i could ask right now. I needed to know if the man i truly care about is alright. "Sabito-san is resting, if you remember he was turned to a demon in your mission." Right that.... Well not like it really matters he's still the love of my life.

"When will i see him?" I ask her truly curious nothing else. "After the moon has risen" she made it sound poetic as always. "Can i go for a walk, with someone?" I really need some fresh air if anything and the slide door being open is not enough for me.

Kocho takes a deep sigh. "No matter what i will say you will go anyways.. let me company you on your walk" i nod my hear as a response. I try my best to get up on my own and actually succeed. "Wait- Kocho?" I ask realizing something.

"Yes Tomioka-san?" She looked my way with the sweet smile on her lips. "Is Rengoku alright?" I remember him being there before darkness but i don't know now how he is. "He's good back to his duties" Kocho sounded very glad while giving out the good news about Rengoku's current condition.

"That's good... We can't loose an important and cheerful member... I would be sad if I didn't make it in time to help him-" i recall the situation that night even if we were both at the same time on the fight. I had to maje sure all the unranked demons kept their distance.

"Well Tomioka-san let's head out, shall we?" Kocho walked before me leading the way outside.

The moment i take my first step outside i can feel the cool breeze hit my face lifting my hair out of the way and a free feeling rush through my veins. How i love the feeling of nature.

"Enjoying yourself Tomioka-san?" Kocho asked me and i could hear the hint of teasing in her voice but that's just her treating me like normally, not like a patient.

"Quite yes-" i say as we both continue our way outside. While walking i look above me seeing all the free leaves flying in the air. "I wonder if Shinazugawa could do that"  i thought to myself. I mean he is a wind breather after all and a very skilled one at that.

On our walk we get closer to the usual Hashira hanging out spots. Well not for me but what i gave noticed while actually slowly warming up to the others. And while walking i make sure to watch before me.

Not far in distance i see familiar hair colors making out it's Mitsuri, Rengoku, Igoru and surprisingly Shinazugawa. As we walk closer i start to hear yells and finally make out some. "Tomioka-san!!!" I regonize Mitsuri's voice.

We get close enough that i can do a little awkward wave at them abd get two excited ones from Mitsuri and Rengoku. "Good to see you Tomioka! Up and well!" I forgot how loud Rengoku is. But i don't mind he keeps me awake at least. "You too..." I say too to him i'm not sure if he heard me as he just nodded in response but I hope that wasn't awkward.
