chapter 6, sparring (this chapter contains explicit language.)
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.
You smiled contently at the empty clay bowl of curry that sat adjacent to you, a warm feeling in your chest from the meal and the person sitting across from you. Your eyelids flickered up from your lap to sanemi briefly, although your glance was short, you felt your heart flutter at just the sight of him. You're lucky he wasn't facing you to see the flush on your cheeks.

'One day I'll stop falling for you, Shinazugawa-san... although, until that day, I'll be waiting for you.' [ laufey reference : 3 ]

"(L/n)-san?.. (l/n)-san! Are you listening to me right now?!"
You were forced out of your daydreams by the sound of Sanemis scoldings, you weren't even aware of the fact he was talking to you.. he infatuated you.
"Ah- forgive me, please! I'm sorry, I was spacing out.. what were you trying to say?"
You replied quickly, feeling slightly guilty as you spoke. A guilty smile teased the corners of your mouth as you spoke. The small irk mark on his forehead disappeared at your voice, he wasn't sure why it made him feel so calm.. it's not like he had much experience in the crush department.
"As I was saying-"
He scoffed, clicking his tongue before he continued to speak, his bowl of food now too was empty
"Are you ready to continue sparring? It's already the afternoon, and it's not like I want a visitor tonight."
He continued, it was partly untrue.. he wouldn't mind if it was you staying for the night in his residence, you were a safe person for him. Or something like that, at least.
"Oh, of course! You can go practice now, I'll quickly wash up the bowls."
You said with a content smile as you stood up from the table you where once kneeling at. You hurriedly collected the two clay bowls you ate from and brought them to the sink, rolling up the sleeves of your haori as you pumped water into the sink.

Eventually, you hopped down from the engawa on the side of the residence to the dusty side-yard. Your katana was next to Sanemis, propped up neatly on the closed shoji doors, a bokken in your hands. He didn't hesitate before charging at you, a green tornado like tunnel surrounding his bokken as he charged.
"Wind breathing, first form: dust whirlwind clutter."
He shouted out, you quickly jumped up, your foot using the wooden sword as leverage as you launched yourself up in the air behind him.
"(Style) breathing, fourth form: (insert b/s name here, idk D;)"
You said while swinging your bokken at the back of his head. When he didn't move, you hesitated, stopping the swinging action as you landed behind him. A dumbfounded and confused expression plastered on your face. 'Why didn't he move? Is something the matter?' Was all you could think before he finally whipped around, his eyes wide.
'And how the fuck did she move that quickly?? Looks like I'm not going easy on her anymore.' Was the single thought that crossed his mind before he charged at you once more.
"Wind breathing, sixth form: black wind mountain mist."
Was all you heard him utter before he appeared in front of you, his sword about to push through your lower jaw. Luckily, you nocked his sword out of the way just before it hooked your jaw like a fish on a hook. You darted to your side as you hit him in the small of his back before you dashed out of the way again, widening the gap between the two of you.
You winced at the sound of your bokken coming into contact with his body.. you knew it didn't hurt him, and the entire point of sparring was to deal damage on others. But on him? The thought wasn't pleasant.
"And here I was thinking you where more weak then Kocho."
He uttered out as he stood up straight once more, clicking his tongue. Clenching his sword tightly, cracking his knuckles.
