"My Butterfly" (Shinobu x FEM Reader)

Chapter 5

Shinobu's POV:

Once I was finished talking with Mitsuri, she was ranting about something Iguro did. Simp. I looked around for Y/N and my eyes landed on the hashira table. She was smiling and laughing with the others. Cute. I walked over and took a seat near her.
"Hello Y/N! I see you've made your way here." I said happily.
"Oh hey Shinobu! Yeah, I had to ask a kakushi though hah." She replied with a grin on her face.
The other pillars were still talking with each other but I noticed my sister took sneaky glances at me and Y/N. What does that mean?

Kanae's POV:

When Shinobu took a seat next to me I almost spat out my food when they addressed eachother with their first names. ALREADY!? They've been friends for 2 hours and they are already in first name basis. My sister is down bad bro. I got up and tugged on Mitsuri, " Hey Mitsuri, can I talk to you real quick?"
She nodded and said bye to Rengoku and Sanemi. I scuttled away with her trailing behind.

"Whats the matter Kanae?" She asked quietly. I responded with a smirk, "Nobu and Y/N are on first name basis." "EEHHH?" I slapped a hand over her mouth. "Yes, already. I think we should hold off on the plan for now, to see if my sister has the mentality to actually bag someone." Still with my hand on her mouth, she mumbled a quick mhm before I let go.

"What should their ship name be?" Mitsuri asked, directing the question at herself. "Omg. Lightfly, Get it? Lightning and Butterfly," She made a boom sound effect. "Lightfly!" I snickered at her playfulness and looked back at the table. I'm happy for her. She has found somebody after years. Atleast this gives me more time to go after Sanemi. "Come on, lets go back now. They are probably wondering where we have been."

*Timeskip, 4 hours later.*

Y/N's POV:

Since it was almost midnight, I headed towards my room. I didn't realise that my room was along the hallway from Shinobu's. Atleast I know where she is if I have any issues. Opening the door, I thanked the kakushi that was helping me and walked in. It was the exact same as I had left it; bed straightened, mirror on the dresser and the window was still displaying the training grounds. I strode towards the closet and picked out some silk pijamas. Changing out of my uniform and into the nightwear, I hung my haori and closed the closet doors. After that, I decided it was time to sleep. The bed was comfy, very comfy. The pillows were soft and cold(top tier combination) and the covers were just perfect. I soon enough drifted off into a dream.

*Dream*

"Daddy where is mom?" Haru asked. We were walking back from the market after buying her the haori and necklace. "She is at home my boy, don't worry." My father replied to him. Suddenly I got the metallic scent of blood. It was strong, and it was sort of familiar but I couldn't pin my finger on who it was. "Dad, what is that smell?" I asked. "Kids, stay here. Daddy is going to go see mommy." He placed Haru next to me and stumbled into our wide-open front door. The realisation hit me; it was our mother's blood there.

The reason the scent was so familiar.. it was the person's who gave birth to me. I dropped to my knees and hugged Haru. I looked back at my home and saw my dad angrily marching out to us. I was going to embrace him until he grabbed the hem of my shirt and flung me to the ground. "This is your fault Y/N." He shouted. "It's your fault shes gone! If you hadn't taken your time in choosing that awful pendant the demon wouldn't have attacked her!" Okay I was full on sobbing now. This is not what happened? I don't remember this. Suddenly, my dad's once caring voice turned into a distorted sound of a demon growling. I quickly stumbled backwards, still on the floor. "It.is.your.FAULT"

I woke up. Somehow I was on floor, pouring of sweat. The door slowly opened, light pouring in from the hall.
"Y/N? Are you alright?" It was Shinobu. She scurried over when she saw me on the floor, quickly helping me back up to the bed. "Why are you on the floor?" She questioned, positioning herself next to me wrapping her arm around my back in attempt to comfort me.
"I'm sorry for waking you. I just had a bad dream is all." I turned to face her and smiled. "Alright. I will be heading to my room again. Goodnight." However when she tried to walk off I grabbed her hand. She turned around,confusion plastered on her face.

"Please. Stay." I said quietly; turning my head away in embarrassment of what I had just asked this magestic butterfly.
"Okay. I will stay with you for tonight." She whispered back. I scooched along on my bed and she clambered in. Too far to back out already, I lowered myself down and buried my head in her chest. Her heartbeat was fast, was I doing something wrong? The fatigue caught up to me and I soon fell asleep, still positioned in her chest.
