The Water Hashira

The Sleepover

Giyuu pov: I headed over to kocho's mansion that my crow guided me to and she sent a request that the rest of the hashiras will join me and kanroji. She specifically told me to make some food for them when they get here so it is all prepared. I felt okay with it and when I tried finding my way to the kitchen a girl by the name of Aoi showed me and said to not do anything stupid, as I nodded in agreement. I looked in the cabinets to see what was in there to find to soba, and other ingredients to make rice balls, and simmered salmon daikon. Mitsuri said her favorite was sakura monchi, so I prepared 170 of them on a plate just for her, with another few dishes. Daikon, ohagi, and more cold soba. Aoi made red bean paste buns as I helped her with it. I knew another dish, and it turns out to be Shinobu's favorite as well. Sweet chopped, grilled ginger with green and matcha tea. Kanroji loves black tea so I decided to make some just for her since she's kind to me as nd deserves a reward od kindness.

Shinobu pov: I send a message from my crow telling her to make some food for the rest of us since they wanted to eat something when they get there. Making a new pillar cook isn't really kind of them but since she was already there I thought it would be okay, but they had to pay her back with something. I walked with Kanroji to her place to get her stuff packed, like clothes, and a blanket incase I run out of storage. She and I talked about how Tomioka was quiet but opened up to us since we're girls and understand everything. When she was done we went back to my mansion and as I opened up the door, it smelled like heaven.

I went to find Aoi watching from the doorway and startled her and asked her why she was right there in the first place. She pointed her finger at me and what I saw was dishes, of plates, bowls of foods just for everyone. She even made a special dish of me...Ohhh how sweet of her. I'm starting to like her more and more. She is up to so much surprises I must say. I let her be and went to get kanroji settled in for tonight as I changed out of my uniform and into something more comfortable for slumber.

Shinobu- Mitsuri-san!
Mitsuri- Yes kocho is there anything you want me to do?
Shinobu- Not really but come with me to the kitchen. You'll be surprised.

Shinobu pov: Me and Kanroji headed into the kitchen as kanroji was surprised as me when I saw the amount of food Tomioka made.
Mitsuri- OH wow that looks so delicious even the smell of it is heaven. Don't you think so Shinobu-san?
Shinobu- Oh yes she has out did herself. It probably tastes greater than it already looks.
Mitsuri- Mhmm! I Agree!

Shinobu pov: We both headed back into the livingroom to hear that knock at my door and opening it to Tengen and Rengoku surprised with muichiro by their side. I moved out of the way to let them in and the first thing they did was smell the food from the kitchen. Both said it was enjoyable to smell as they settled their futon as muichiro went somewhere exploring my mansion. We chatted for a bit and heard another knock to see Iguro coming in as Gyomei has holding Sanemi over his shoulder mad, just like a child.

Shinobu- My-my what happened this time Gyomei-san?
Gyomei- Shinazugawa tried to escape not until I caught him and knock him out and brought him here as he woken up when we arrived.
Iguro- Yeah I tried stopping him, but that's when Gyomei showed up.
Gyomei- Well I hope you all enjoy your sleepover tonight bye-bye-
Giyuu- Gyomei-san....Gyomei-san.
Gyomei- Is that Tomioka?
Giyuu- Yes it is me.  Before you leave I want you to try out my new dish I made. Would you give it a try?
Gyomei- Sure I'd be glad to.

As he opened his mouth and Giyuu placing the small bit of food. He melted into delight and ate more of it as if all the others thought it was magic. Seeing Gyomei melt into a taste of food had them surprised.

Giyuu- So what do you think Gyomei?
Gyomei- It was divine and good. You are a good cook with that talent you cook make money or a fortune, but it was good enough to place your life in others safety. Farewell everyone.
All- By Gyomei.
Tengen- Okay question... Are you magic because we never seen him melt like that before!
All- Yeah/ We never had/ What did you do to do that?
Giyuu- I don't know....maybe it's because I've been learning to cook when I was 5 or 6.
All- WHAT?!?!?

All of their mouths hanged opened as she made her way to the kitchen and continued to cook more food for the big appetizing people, like kanroji and mostly Rengoku. She then proceeded to make more rice balls and grilled them along coding them in miso soup sauce. Then in the livingroom were the hashiras talking to each other and making more jokes as they laugh, well except Sanemi since he was propped in a chair tied to not make any movements. But quite he scootched his chair into another part of the mansion losing sight of them for once. Once he made it to a different location the house he smelled the food cooking, and it smelled great and gave them a good reason to bless them for making the food.

Behind the door was someone cooking so he then started making scratching noises hoping for that person to hear and help him out to get out of the chair, and ropes. As he heard the person appear to the door opening it to find.......TOMIOKA!!
Sanemi- WHAT!!!!

Everyone heard him and did not realized he disappeared in a blink of an eye. He regretted shouting as he thought real quick and told her to help him out and hide him in the kitchen so he won't be found. She looked at him in such confusion and dragged him in there and put him in the cabinet below her. Everyone was in the search of Shinazugawa as they looked everywhere and then Shinobu thought of the kitchen. Barging through the doors was kocho which startled Giyuu.

Shinobu- My bad tomioka but have you happen to see Shinazugawa by any chance.
Giyuu- Sorry I haven't is there something I need to know?
Shinobu- Well ue seemed to have gone missing just moments ago and we can't find him. You sure you haven't seem him anywhere not even in here?
Giyuu- Again I haven't well I'll keep an eye out for him.
Shinobu- Okay everyone is here now so probably bring out the food when we're done playing a game. Sound good tomioka?
Giyuu- Yes sounds good. Bye
Shinobu- Bye.

Giyuu makes sure she wasn't there anymore as she checked it was clear as Shinobu headed back into the livingroom.

Giyuu- Okay you can come out now.
Sanemi- Oh good. Thanks Giyuu for hiding me.
