A sanegiyuu story

Chap 3

(Giyuu's PoV)
I nod when Sanemi mentioned getting to the forest fast, I knew it had to be something to do with finding shelter but I was confused. There's a little inn not too deep in the forest- pretty cheap as well. Many demon slayers such as I had used it when in the area before. Did Sanemi not know? I had even brought money along in case we had to stay the night, the owner a little old woman always kind to me. I should probably use this has a chance to stop by if anything even if not staying the night.

"Shinazugawa, if your thinking about were to spend the night there's an inn not to far in this forest." I say my usual blank tone-trying not to sound rude , stepping closer to the shade of the tall trees and the dangers of demons and wild animals that remain within them.
"It's pretty cheap, we could stay there-." Sanemi had cut me off, interrupting me. He spoke with a harsh tone clearly annoyed just by me speaking. "Oh please it's not like any of us brought money. And even if I did it's not like I would pay for your shitty ass."

Oh... I don't like it when he calls me shitty though I suppose he doesn't like me at all. The wind is loud and echoey because of the towering trees. We walk along a small and narrow trail in the forest, twigs and leaves crunching under our feet with every step. I let the uncomfortable silence stay not wanting to put myself in the position of trying to speak to aggravated white head. That would be a little too awkward ngl so I continue walking behind him.

The sun shining a bright orange
hue through the trees. The sun was setting, what a pretty sight. Sabito was always pretty at this time of day ( btw he's referring to Sabito has the sun set cause he's dead lol). The sun was also making Sanemi's hair look purple again- it reminds me of the colour from the wisteria flowers though it doesn't have the bright glow and darker shade.

As we get further into the forest the trees get thicker, blocking out more and more of the orange sun light. We continue walking following the trail. I then see a little building not far in the distance. The inn! I always forget the name, sucks on my part I guess. I then start walking towards the inn, stepping infornt of Sanemi who was clearly confused by my sudden motivation and where I was headed.

I hear Sanemi scoff before he speaks. "And where are you off too?." I continue walking not bothered by his question and I only answer when he picks up his walking pace, now walking beside me. "The inn, I brought money. Join me or not I do not care..." I say blankly not really bothered where he's stays. after all why should I care?

(Small time skip , Sanemi's PoV)

We were now standing right outside the inn. It was an old building, clearly neglected in some areas but looked cosy enough for a night. I sigh and run my hand through my white hair. I looked up again, seeing the inn sign which read 'Oak Inn'. I turn to face Tomioka- his expression was that shitty blank one as always and he avoided my eye contact. I roll my eyes at his ignorance before I spoke. "I'm staying with you in the inn, I want my own room I'll pay you back."
My voice was cold and annoyance crept into it.

Giyuu then started to speak. "... I only have enough for two rooms,one here and one on the way back...". His voice was blank has well has his facial expression like normal but there was some sort of tiredness behind his eyes. I guess the walking really got to him- pathetic even I'm not that tired from just walking though I suppose he only just got back from a mission and was sent on another one...

I groan annoyed that I'm gonna have to share a room with him.
We walk in the inn and was greeted by a little old woman , she seemed oddly fond of Tomioka.
"Ohhh hello dear , how have you been? It's been a while since you've last visited." The woman stated in a kind and caring voice, rushing towards giyuu and standing a decent space away.

I rolled my eyes slightly surprised that anyone would care about the guy. I step forwards towards the lady before I spoke. "Look lady , where's the inn keeper we're looking to stay the night." My tone  annoyed but slightly polite. The lady's eyes narrowed and she looked up at me. "I'm the inn keeper,watch your mouth boy!" She rised her voice  at me to which I grew angry in return. My stance stiffened and I took a step closer and grabbed the witch by her collar of her kimono.

my tight grip soon interrupted by Tomioka. His hand wrapping around my wrist and squeezing slightly in a threatening manner. His face now scrunched up in what is it? anger? I've never seen him express that much emotion. "shinazugawa, your apart of the demon slayer corps. Your going against policy". Tomioka stated, his grip on my wrist tightening. I grunted  before dropping my hold on the old hag and smacking his hand away, grabbing Giyuu fucking Tomioka by the collar. Getting up in his face i shout. "who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do? huh?!"

Sanemi's POV

My outburst was shut down by the old hag hitting me with her God damn walking stick and threating she wont serve me, Tomioka paid for the room and was broght there by the witch herself. Tomioka and I were soon left by ourselves. There were two futons laid out for us with sleeping yukata's[or whatever the tradional mens sleeping clothes is🥲], a small table low to the ground filled with food and a desk with a oil lamp sitting on it. Lighting the room with a orange hue. 

i huff irritated by what happened before hand. i stomp to the futon farest  from the door and grab the yukata before storming out the room heading for the hot spring, leaving shitty face Tomioka standing there alone.

The hot spring wasn't the nicest by far but it was also some what calming to say the least. I sat in the water, leaning on one of the bigger rocks behind me. the water warm on my skin and scars that have a history of reopening. Lost in my thoughts my mind somehow drifted off to Tomioka's angered face. His brows scrunched up and eyes narrowed.. For some reason that expression doesn't sit right with me. Big void eyed. Blue as well, hard not to get lost in- wait a minute why the hell ami thinking about that shitty face asshole? How dare he think he's better then everyone else though his hand wrapped round my wrist didn't feel so bad- "Sanemi what the hell are you thinking, get your act together!-" i grumble frustrated ,gritting my teeth and grabbing a fist full of hair with my right hand.

"oh Sanemi, so this was where you went"

"Tomioka?"
