A Specific Butterfly | ShinoGiyuu 🦋🌊

Together again

Shinobu POV

It was a gloomy day today, not a lot of birds were out, even the crows. There were only a few hashiras that would be doing missions today, and one of them would be me.

Master had requested for me to meet him in order for him to let me know who I'll be working with. I found it odd, however didnt question it.

Master was a very wise man, questioning him would just mean doubting him, which rarely happened. All of the hashiras respected him, as he lifted up into his arms when we had no other.

I was adjusting my haori when i heard a faint knock on my door. Who could it possibly be at this time? Now now shinobu, dont be immature. You arent a bitter woman, are you? No! Im not!

I sighed before walking over to the door, adjusting my smile as i turned the handle. A smaller figure was seen as she rubbed her eyes before bowing as a reaction to me opening the door.

"Hello, shinobu-sama." Kanao said, as she raised her head. I giggled at the gesture before patting her head softly. "Now now kanao, you dont need to do all of that, do you?" I replied softly as i moved my hand. Why was she here so early anyways?

"Well, i wanted to say i will be going on a mission today." She stated before pausing, soon replying, "With tanjiro." She stated. Ah, tanjiro! That sweet boy. He can be annoying sometimes. Especially that sense of smell.

"Alright, i wish you the best on your journey and make me proud kanao, alright?!" I stated, smiling in a reassuringly manner at her. She smiled before bowing at the kind words i said to her. "Thank you, shinobu-sama." She replied, smiling. That smile. That smile was so genuine. I wish i had one like that. Oh how lucky you are kanao.

She soon walked off slowly, her cape flowing in motion as she did. Kanao Tsuyuri a Tsuguko of mine. What a pure soul she was, i wish her the best for the rest of my life, and i entrust her with everything i have.

I soon turned over to my desk. Oh, right! That mission, i do hope im not late! I ran over to my desk before shoving all of the intoxins i held back into my built-in-closet.

I found myself walking on the fresh painted concrete below me. I was just on time, thankfully. I slowly began to approach master, watching his natural smile as he stared down at tomioka-san. Wait. Tomioka-san?! Why is he here? And is he doing a mission today too?

"Ah, kocho-san." Master said as he recognised my footsteps. It was very intimidating how he did that, but no one dare question his intelligence.

I crouched down as i bowed. "Good morning, master." I then sat down properly. There was a silence before he began speaking again, "Im sure you are both wondering why you are here, correct?" He asked politely, smiling purely.

I looked over at tomioka-san nodding, and i knew to reply for the both of us, "Yes, oyakata-sama, we do not know why the presence of both of us are needed here today." I stated, bowing in apology.

"Well then," Master giggled softly before replying, "I have entrusted both of you today to partake in another mission together." He stated, i gasped softly. Tomioka was completely unfazed, which was annoying.

I didnt know what to do. I didnt want to upset master, but i seriously wasnt in the mood to deal with tomioka's ignorance today. I like him, but his ignorance can get the best of him sometimes.

"Okay master. We will carry out this mission to good results." He replied, bowing slowly. I repeated after him as master smiled. "Thank you, you two." He stated before dismissing us.

"Ara ara tomioka-san, it seems we are both partners once again!~" I poked him on his arm while we walked. He tried to shove me off multiple times, but i just ignored him. He deserves to feel how i feel.

"It seems so, kocho." He replied. Did he think him replying would make me stop? Pfft. How cute of tomioka!

"Wow, you are very talkative today, tomioka-san!" I replied after letting out a faint gasp. I wasnt wrong, tomioka was acting like he was under the influence of something.

He began to walk. Great, seems like i spoke too soon! Well, it was normal anyways. I shouldnt expect higher from him if hes just always going to ignore me.

We suddenly found ourselves walking through a forest, sticks breaking, leaves rustling, crickets chirping, it was just a normal forest! Are you kidding me?! I dont want to wait here for a stupid demon to come out! Get a hold of yourself shinobu. I sighed.

"It seems like the demon is hiding," Tomioka spoke up. If that wasnt obvious already. "We have to be cautious, kocho. Look around your surroundings." He finished. Why is he babying me? Im a hashira too! Obviously i know what to do!

There was a warm feeling on my shoulder though, it felt open and like air was going in it. Wait. I got slashed?!

I stopped walking as tomioka continued, then stopped as he noticed me. I took out a bandage and began to treat the wound as he watched quietly. "See." He said, under his breath. What a brat. No.

"Ara ara tomioka-san! Dont think i didnt hear you!" I said, smiling noticeably fakely, trying to hide how agitated i was behind my front.

"Sorry." He replied as he turned, walking off. Sorry? What is this feeling? I didnt even notice but my cheeks were boiling. I felt to see if there was any blood, but no result.

So what was this then? What are these odd feelings? And why do they only happen when im around tomioka? Wow. Tomioka. I dont forgive you for what you are doing to me.
