"Why are you acting like this?" I asked
"HMM! I don't get how someone like you can get so close to my master."
That is Ginko. Muichiro's crow. She seem's to be proud of Muichiro and what he does. It reminds me of a mother figure. Whatever the case is, i'm glad that she cares about him. After all, he looks like the type of person that needs encouragement, a shoulder to cry, laugh, or smile on.
"Are we near?" I asked
"I'll tell you when we get there. Now stop talking to me!" Ginko said
"HEY. DON'T TALK TO HER LIKE THAT YOU PIGEON!"
Ginko turned around.
"IM NO PIGEON. COME SAY IT TO MY FACE." Ginko said
My crow landed on my shoulder.
"Lucy...." I whispered
"PIGEON" Lucy said
"I DARE YOU TO SAY IT AGAIN." Ginko said
"Im sorry, I didn't know you didn't know how to spell. P-I-G-E-O-N!" Lucy said
Ginko and Lucy started to argue with each other. I tired separating them.
"PLEASE STOP ARGUING! YOU ARE ACTING LIKE CHILDREN."I screamed
They were about to start fighting when I hear someone laugh. I quickly turn around and see Muichiro. His face was now serious. Did I miss his look of laughing? Again?! Ginko quickly flew to Muichiro's shoulders and started to rub on his hair. I put my attencion to Lucy.
"Are you alright?" I ask her
Lucy nods. I take out some treats for her.
"Here." I said
She eats it and flies on top of my head. I giggle.
"I'm glad you came." He said
"Well, I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said with a smile.
I swear I could see Muichiro turn red.
"C'mon. We are near my estate." He said
The village he lived at was peaceful. Not many made noise and everyone minded their own business. Something to expect from him. It wasn't a small house. It definitely showed that someone with money lived there. He showed me around. By the time he finished, I was hungry.
"I made sure to have lunch ready by the time I finished the tour." He said
"Oh thank you so much!" I said
He takes me to a courtyard and a small picnic was set up. Me and Muichiro sit down and wait for a few minutes. Two kakushi come in with some tea amd lunch.
"Today for lunch is almond tofu." One of them said
They put the plate on my face.
"Oh uh..."

Muichiro POV:
I started eating and realized that Y/N hasn't touched her food.
"Are you a picky eater?" I ask
She shakes her head.
"N-No it's not that" She said
"Then what is it?" I ask
I put my chopsticks down and cross my arms.
"It's just that...." She said
Did she seem nervous or embarrassed?
Either way, she started to play with her hair.
"I'm allergic to almonds." She said
She looked at me with a small smile.
How can I miss that?! I should have done more research or ask someone.
"I'm sorry." I said
I quickly took the plate and set it aside. I bowed.
"My apologies. I should have asked first." I said
"It's fine. It was my fault for not telling you earlier." She said
Great, now I have nothing to feed her. And I was always a terrible cook. I look around for any Kakushi but I don't see any.
Great, when I mostly need them, they disappeared.
"Can you show me where the kitchen is?" She said
I look at her.
"I'm still kinda hungry." She said
I take her to the kitchen.
"You don't mind, right?" She said
"Not at all. Go ahead." I said
She smiles at me. My heart went faster and I could swear that my face was turning red.
End of Muichiro POV
                                      ————
I look to see what I can do. I started to cook some rice. I saw some potatoes and started to peel them.
"Do you know how to cook?" I asked Muichiro
"No.." He said
"Have you tried learning?" I ask
"Not really... I always burn the rice at the end." He said
I giggle.
"Wow, that's concerning." I said
I finish peeling the potatoes and start to boil them. I compose my sleeves in order to cook and start to make rice balls.
"You know, I didn't know how to cook as well." I said
"Really?" He asked
"Yeah. I came from a very rich family. My parents always said that I should marry someone wealthy, that way I never have to do stuff around the house." I said
"Looks like they were wrong about marrying a wealthy person." He said
"Well yes, but after me and my sister left, we realized that... we knew nothing. They always kept us from functioning properly." I said
"That's sad." He said. "How did you learn got to cook?"
"My master taught me. She said that after every battle, is good to have a good meal." I said
"Your Master sounds wise." He said
"She is... I wonder how she is doing." I said
I finish doing the rice balls and set them aside. I drain the potatoes and let them cool.
"Do you think... I'll be able to marry someone?" I ask
"I do." He said "Why do you think that?"
"Well... it's just that everyone likes my sister more than me. She was more gentle, kind and generous. To be honest, if she were to be alive, you would be head over heels for her." I said
"I doubt that." He said
I shrug. I start to smash the potatoes and making it into a mix. I put some cheese inside the potato mix and make some small bites. I grab a pan and fried them. After that, I grab a plate and serve it. I wash my hands.
"Tada! Doesn't that smell amazing? Cmon Muichiro. Try one." I said
He grabs some and starts to eat. His eyes lit up and see some tears forming.
"Are you alright?" I ask
"I'm fine." He said with a smile.

Taishiro Era secret:
  After Muichiro tried Y/N's cooking, he got reminded of someone. It tasted the same before everything was taken from him.
   Muichiro tried to act like his usual self around Y/N but he couldn't. He always tried to be around her, but not too much.
   Muichiro sees Y/N as a red panda. In his own words, "she is cute. Her hair and eyes are cute and beautiful. To be honest, it's hard sometimes to get reminded that she is a Hashira. Her fighting is elegant and beautiful. Truly one of a kind."
