Little Cutie

2

Three days went by. The sun was rising. Shinobu kept checking on the young girl. Well today. The young girl felt the sun's warmth on her face. She groaned as she rubbed her eyes. She sat up in her bed and removed her hands from her eyes. The young girl looked around the room she was in.

There was two extra beds. Along with bedside tables and closets. The girl pulled the blanket a bit more up. Still scared on what is going on. She decided to get up. The young girl got up from her end and slowly walked to the door. She justed reached the door knob as she turned it. She opened the door and walked out of her room.

The young girl played with her gown as she walked down the hallway. She walked more down the hallway and smelt food. The young girl followed the smell as she saw a room. She peeked inside and saw a girl with two pigtails. The young girl watched as she made different food. Aoi was cooking breakfast for the patients.

Aoi turned to put some food on the tray. She stopped as she saw a figure peeking into the kitchen. Aoi noticed it was the child. "Hello there" Aoi spoke softly. The girl flinched a little, but stayed behind the wall. Aoi knew what the girl was going through. Shinobu had told everyone. Just in case the girl wanted to explore the place. Which she did.
"It's ok. I'm not gonna hurt you" About went closer and bent down to her height. The girl traced the lines on the wooden frame.
"May I ask your name?" The girl stayed quiet. As she looked down at her feet. Aoi thought, but smiled.
"My name is Aoi" she looked at the girl.

The girl stayed quiet as she kept her eyes on the ground. Aoi noticed that her hair was (your hair colour) and it was very long. As well as her eyes were (your eye colour).
"You must be hungry?" Aoi asked, but she got no response again. Aoi sighed as she grabbed Mochi. The young girl looked at the Mochi as she tilted her head. Aoi gently handed it to the girl. The girl looked at the little squishy food. "try it. It's good" Aoi spoke. The girl took a bite and her eyes sparkled.

The swallowed the piece in her mouth as she took another bite into her Mochi. "You like it?" The girl nodded her head as she finished the Mochi in her hands. "What's going on here?" The girl yelped as she hid behind Aoi. Shinobu heard Aoi talking to someone. She saw it was the little girl. The girl stayed behind Aoi as she walked forwards towards them.
"Hello there. I'm Shinobu" she smiled softly.

The girl looked at the two as she noticed the Haori on her shoulders. The girl slowly walked forwards to Shinobu. Shinobu watched as the girl came forth. "May I know your name?" She spoke. The girl looked down at her feet. With her hands behind her back.
"It's ok" she smiled as she got off the floor.
"I'll send a message to Iguro. I'm sure he would love to know that our little friend has awoken" she said as she walked out of the room. Aoi looked down at the girl.
"Let's get you back to bed" the girl nodded her head. As she followed Aoi. Aoi opened the door for her. The girl walked into the room and went back on her bed. Aoi pulled over a table to go across her bed. On top of the table. She had put colouring pencils and a book.

"Stay here while I bring you some more food" the girl nodded again as she looked down at the table. She pulled the table closer and opened the book. The girl grabbed the pencils and thought about what to draw. She thought until a flash of the man that saved her. The girl started to draw on the paper.

As the little girl was busy drawing. The door had slid open. "Little one" she looked up at the door and saw Aoi. She watched as Aoi walked into the room with a tray of food and medicine. Aoi walked over and sat the tray next to her drawing supplies. "Here this will make you feel better" the girl gently took the cup that was full of medicine. The girl drank the medicine in one go and gagged.

"I know it tastes bad, but it will help you" Aoi spoke as she got up to give the other patients there food. The girl grabbed the fork as she started to eat the food in front of her. She munched on the food happily. As it was delicious. On the other side of the door.

"I'm glad you came Iguro" Shinobu smiled as the Hashira.
"I read your message. So why am I here?'
"To see the little one. She is awake" Iguro raised the eyebrow.
"You sent me a message and I'm here because of the brat?"
"Yep" Shinobu smiled. Iguro sighed as he looked at the door.
"She doesn't talk yet. She is a very shy girl" Shinobu explained.
"I'll leave you to it" she walked off. Leaving Iguro behind. He groaned and opened the door.

He looked inside to see the girl drawing on the table in front of her and only half of her food gone. The girl was colouring in the last part of her drawing. She heard the door close. The girl looked up and saw Iguro and Kaburamaru around his shoulders. Iguro walked up to the little girl as he sat down on her bed. Kaburamaru slid down his arm as he sat on the girls lap. The girl looked down at the white snake. As she gently reached out her hand.

Kaburamaru hissed a little as he looked at her hand. Kaburamaru gently rubbed his head in her hand. She giggled a little as she patted the snake. Iguro watched as the two bonded. Most people were scared of his friend, but the little girl loved him.

Kaburamaru rested on the girls shoulders. As the girl looked up at the male. "His name is Kaburamaru. Incase you were wondering" the girl patted him under the chin. As she nodded to the male.
"May I ask your name?" He asked nicely. The girl tilted her head and then her face widened. Iguro watched as the girl quickly grabbed the drawing and showed him. Iguro gently took the picture and saw him. It wasn't the best drawing, but he knew it was him. Iguro looked at the girl as she rubbed her eyes. Iguro gently put the drawing down.

The girl shook her head as she grabbed it again and handed it to Iguro.
"You want me to take it?" He asked. The girl nodded. As Iguro gently took the drawing again. The girl rubbed her eyes again. Iguro put the drawing in his pocket. As he pulled the blankets over the little girl. Kaburamaru slid up Iguros shoulders. "My name..."
"Hm?" Iguro looked at the girl.
"My name is y/n" she muttered but Iguro was able to hear.

With that she fell asleep in her bed. Iguro got up from her bed and walked out of the room.
