After a little while of lying down, I forced myself to wake up. It must have been a 2 already- oh shit. The cats. I quickly get up and go for the cat food. I place the right amount on each small plate. I think I got all of them right. 1- 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-18-19-20. Yup, that's enough. I put each plate on the ground and wait for each cat to eat. Slowly the cats start to come out and eat the food on the plant. We have way too many cats. It's all most like he brings a new one each mission. Well at first he did before I told him off
"Your feeding the cats" he hear a voice behind me
"Yeah I thought it would-" I turn around to see the large man crying with a plate of cat food. I sighed and spoke "You can put it on the side for any strays that come here and eat" he did as I said and put it on the side. I'm pretty sure that the pillar training is happening right now. Why is he here? No wait it starts tomorrow. Wait. The cat charm! "Gyomei wait right here" he looked confused as I ran to my room and grabbed the charm I bought for him. I run back and hand him the small cat charm
"Here"
"What is it?"
"It's one of those cat charms you buy for good luck" Tears began to fall from his eyes. He just stopped crying, god.
"I got this for you ever since our little argument we had the other day " I awkwardly laugh but when I see his face I realize it's not a laughing matter.
"Sorry"
"Thank you for this, once ag-" We hear those annoying crows circling us yelling
"Kcaw! Master is calling a meeting!" That thing! It Kept yelling! I swear on my dead mother I'm gonna kill that thing.
"I'm sorry, I'll be back soon" he kissed me and quickly turned, grabbed his axe and chain and ran. Wait he kissed me? I was left standing there with his 20 cats. I walked back into the house and sat down. What do I do? This sucks.

It's late. Like really late. I already ate dinner and feed those damn cats again. I sat in my room waiting. My eyes were caught by my naginata display right in the middle. My old uniform was folded and placed in a box underneath my naginata. I got up and grabbed it. I sat back down and read the engraved words on the bland, "Destroyer of Demons" The weapon was specially made for me, but due to my height, it was much a larger weapon. It was amazingly made by my swordsmith. He was mad when I requested this. I grab the box containing my uniform and open it. It was pretty basic, I chose the pants because it was the easiest way for my fighting style. It is all torn up With slashes and rips all over it.  I didn't order anyone to fix it. There was no use, I wasn't a hashira anymore ever since that mission. It was about a small village. At first, it was calm, I honestly thought it was a false alarm. Until I saw that thing. It was freaky, it was a guy in a vase. He conjured a lot of these fish things. I thought it was over and let my guard down. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm, I turned around and now there he was standing. Or something with a vase in his hand ?! I don't remember a lot of it. All I remember is the pain. He poked out my eye letting it bleed all over my face. I remember after the eye injury, I still tried fighting, but he cut off my ring and pinky finger off my right hand. I fell and he ripped off my leg. It was so much pain. I remember crying, but the crying burn from my eye was gone. I felt a slash against my stomach. So many cuts all around my body. All I could hear from him is his making a "work of art" I was gonna die. I couldn't live anymore but then he came. I knew that voice, I could tell he was crying. It was right before sunrise so that demon ran away and left me there bleeding out. Gyomei was gonna run after him, but I asked...well begged him not to leave me. Gyomei held me until the medics arrived. The medics did the best they could before I was sent to the medical mansion. There my father came to tell me what a disaster I was. I was later sent to my father's estate and married off to gyomei. What a terrible memory
Speaking of gyomei, where is this giant? I hear the door on the gate open. I peek my head to see the man of the hour. His swinging back and forward, that's unusual?
"Gyomei? Where have you been?"I go up to him
"Ren" he grabs me and hugs me. What?
"I'm so so s-sorry!-Hic- I should have t-told you!!" He buried his face in my chest Oh my lord his drunk!!?!
"I'm s-hic!-sorry that I left you!" He started crying and got my clothes wet
"I-it's fine let's just go to bed" I pat his head
"Okay" he didn't put me down, he walked All the to our bedroom holding me. We get to our bedroom and he plots himself on his futon still holding me.
"Ren?"
" yeah?"
"Can I kiss you?"
"Hm sure"
he lifted his head out of my chest and kissed me. It wasn't a quick pack, it was long and passionate. He moved his hands down to my ass and squeeze? He broke the kiss shoved his head in my chest and fell asleep. He's gonna be an asshole in the morning but it's funny to see him like this.

I woke up an hour before he did, just in case I made him some tea and breakfast. He wakes up groaning with his head on the pillow. I carry the food and tea to the room and place it next to him.
"Well good morning"
"Hmmm" damn he got a hungover
" I made you breakfast and tea"
"Hmm"
" be ready, you have to go train those children "
"Hmmmmm" I get up and walk out. I chose the shoji and walked outside. I might go into town today. Hm sure. I walk out the fence around our property and I see a couple of demon slayers walk up to me
"Excuse miss?"
"What?" God, I hate kids
"Have you seen a man? Like a really big man?"
" are u brats looking for gyomei?
"Yes! How did you know-"
"Wait right here" Ugh I'm gonna beat this man's Ass
I walk back to the estate and so straight to the room where he is sleeping. I walk in to see him getting changed
"You might want to hurry"
"Why?" He buttoned up his shirt while asking
"Cuz those brats are looking for your"
"Oh no!"He finished changing and ran out. Hmm, I might just stay in today. I decided not to help out in this year's pillar training. I hate kids.
