"Sanemi came by this morning." Tomioka was sipping on his green tea while she cleaned her sword. She'd taught Tomioka about sword maintenance and he was fascinated by how much better his sword worked with a little bit of maintenance. She kept him on his feet the entire time she was there and, though he refused to admit it, he did learn a few things from her during the course of her training. One thing he really appreciated was how disciplined, prompt and polite she was. It was like having an efficient robot at home and he enjoyed her company.
"Has he left?" She didn't bother looking up from her sword.
"He has. But you should go look outside." He said.
"Again?" She asked.
"Again."
She opened the door to Tomioka's house to peek outside. Sanemi had once again filled his entire yard with flowers.
"What do I do with so many flowers in my yard?" Tomioka just blinked at them.
"Burn them." She walked back to her room to change into her training clothes. Whatever little love and other feelings she had for Sanemi had snuffed a long time ago.
After a month of training with Tomioka, she felt like a new person.
"I'm eternally grateful for everything, Giyu san. Should you require anything from me in the future, I hope you know that I'm indebted to you and will do my best to carry it out." She bowed.
"You do well, Miyuki." He wished her well, "I hope you continue with the same spirit. I will report to Master immediately."
"Thank you."
"Are you headed to Rengoku san's next?" He asked and she nodded.
"Don't forget to take sweet potatoes on your way." She was now what he'd considered to be a 'friend.'
"I'll do that!" She waved before she left his compound.

She saw a smaller boy with hair similar to the Flame Hashira's cleaning the yard.
"Good morning," she peeked, "this must be the Flame Hashira's house."
"Which one?" The boy looked at her.
"Kyojuro... san." She blinked.
"He's training in our backyard. Please come in. You must be Haganezuka Miyuki. We've been expecting you." He said before introducing himself, "I'm Rengoku Senjuro."
"Oh, you must be his little brother then." She gently smiled at him and he nodded, "yep! Wait- I smell sweet potatoes."
"I brought some for you. I hope you like them."
"My father and I like them, but Aniue loves them! Thank you. Please come in." He said before running in to get his father, "Otosan, Haganezuka san is here."
The older Hashira looked very obviously drunk but that didn't seem to bother Senjuro much, or that's what it looked like at least.
"What do you want?" He asked her.
"I'm here to train with your son. Ubuyashiki san sent me here."
"Your scar!" His eyes went wide, "you're one of those sun breathers! Are you here to belittle me and my sons??"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Don't pretend like you're not here to rub it in our faces. I know what you lot are like! So what if you use the original breathing?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." She hadn't a clue about who her parents were, and she didn't bother looking for or gathering any information about them since she was more than happy with her adoptive father.
