It was the next day.

As sunlight streamed in through his window, it illuminated Sanemi's still sleeping form. He stirred groggily, blinking his eyes open before letting out a yawn as he climbed out of bed.

"Guess it's time to get moving again..."

Sanemi splashed some water on his face, washing off the sleepy feeling.

He drank some tea, stretching his arms as he made his way to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.

Giyuu tossed around in bed before finally waking up. His eyes adjusted to the brightness as the sunlight filled the room, entering through the window.

He washed his face, staring into his own reflection in the bucket of water.

He gasped softly, a small blush creeping up on his cheeks.

"Shinazugawa-San..."
He muttered under his breath.

He shook his head, sighing out helplessly.

It was a beautiful sunny day, Giyuu made his way to the Mansion, where Kagaya usually sits, but he wasn't there yet.
Almost everyone was there already. Giyuu tried to look for Sanemi, but he wasn't there. His eyes still kept searching for him.

"Good morning, Tomioka-San!"
Shinobu wished, smiling sweetly.

"..."

"Ignoring people isn't good, Tomioka-San..."
She looked up at Giyuu, whose cheeks wore the light shade of red.

Is Tomioka-San... blushing?
Shinobu could hardly believe her eyes.

Giyuu stared into what seemed like blank space. Shinobu followed his gaze, her eyes slowly shifting to Sanemi, who was laughing and talking with Obanai.

Shinazugawa-San?
She wondered curiously.

"So, how did your mission with Tomioka go?"
Obanai asked.

"Actually, it went pretty good. He's actually not so annoying and didn't bother me much..."
Sanemi replied.

"I see..."
Obanai said, a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"To be honest, the demon we encountered there, was seriously the ugliest fucking demon I ever saw..."
Sanemi said.

"Couldn't be uglier than you..."
Obanai replied.

"The heck did you just say!?"

"I was just joking."
Obanai replied.

"Yeah whatever, by the way, where is Tomioka? Is he here yet?"
Sanemi asked, almost sounding impatient.

"I don't know..."

Sanemi's eyes travelled everywhere, trying to look for Giyuu in the middle of the other Hashiras. He saw him soon enough, only to find that Giyuu was already looking at him.

Sanemi blushed all of a sudden, smiling at Giyuu. Giyuu smiled back.

Shinobu and Obanai stared, their jaw dropping.

"What the hell, Shinazugawa? Did you switch up that fast?"
Obanai sounded a bit irritated.

"What happened in that mission, Tomioka-San? You need to tell me!"
Shinobu asked, her genuine curiosity getting the best of her.

"We just talked a little... Tomioka seems nice, I swear!"
Sanemi insisted.

"Shinazugawa-San talked to me nicely."
Giyuu said.
