Chapter 4: Race to Spider Mountain

(Y/n) opened his eyes. He sighed and stretched, sitting up from the comfort of the blankets. He carefully got up and left the room, making as little noise as possible. He grabbed his satchel and walked outside. He sat down on the porch and looked up at the stary night sky. He smiled basking in the beauty of the milky way galaxy as is shone down upon him from lightyears away. He pulled out his journal and began to sketch the view. He heard movement beside him and looked to see Tanako was sitting beside him. He studied her face, and they didn't speak a word to each other. She began to blush "(Y/n) why are you just staring at me?" The boy chuckled, "Sorry, I just thinking about how beautiful you are." Her face grew even redder, and he laughed again. (Y/n) went back to sketching the stars and Tanako rested her head on his shoulder.

The two sat in silence, simply enjoying the company of one another. (Y/n) put his journal back in his satchel. The two held their hands together and intertwined their fingers. It was soon long enough that the sun was starting to rise. (Y/n) could hear the blood rushing into Tanako's face but waited for her to say something. She spoke softly "(Y/n)... Do you remember Yushiro? What he said about you?" He sighed and closed his eyes, thinking back, "Not really." She picked her head up off his shoulder and looked at him, "During the fight with the Temari and Arrow demons. When Yushiro called you, my..." (Y/n) smirked, "Your boyfriend?" She nodded, embarrassed. (Y/n)'s smile grew, "What about it?" She asked, "Would you be my boyfriend?" (Y/n) smiled happily at her, "I would love nothing more."

Tanako smiled. The two slowly inched closer. They kissed gently, it was inexperienced, but both were in states of euphoria. They pulled away from each other both of their faces red and breathing heavily. (Y/n) was the first to speak, "Wow."  Tanako smiled, "That felt amazing."  (Y/n) remarked softly, "I'm glad you think so." They went back to watching the sunrise and went quiet for a few minutes. (Y/n)'s face grew serious as he went into deep thought. Tanako noticed this and asked, "What's wrong?" (Y/n) exasperatedly sighed, and he turned his head upwards, "I'm worried about what I'm going to say to Zenitsa..." his face went to disappointed, "Or even Inosume if I even come across that bridge." Tanako frowned slightly, "I was thinking about that last night." (Y/n) leaned back, using his arms to hold himself up, "Mmm..." Tanako started, "Well... I suppose we're going to be working a lot together now. So we're going to have to grow close so we can rely on each other and help each other." Tanako then smiled, "So we can be a family. As long as we care for each other and get equal treatment, I'll be happy." Tanako looked back at (Y/n), who seemed to be in a state of slight confusion, "What's wrong now?" (Y/n) closed his eyes and smiled, "Nothing. Just thinking about how amazing you are, Tanako." The two traded smiles once more. (Y/n) stood up, "Let's go eat breakfast."

At breakfast (Y/n) sat quietly, eating his rice, when suddenly Inosume reached over and felt his face. She seemed to be in thought as (Y/n) stared at her and accepted his fate, resolving to sit still. She felt his face for a few more moments before retracting her arm and announcing her deduction, "You need to shave (Y/n)." This sudden conclusion caught him completely off-guard and glanced at his other two teammates to see Zenitsa and Tanako nodding in agreement.  "Where did this come from!?" he shouted.

After finishing breakfast and a quick shave, the silver swordsman went outside to meditate. He sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes. He slowed his breathing and felt his muscles relaxed. "(Y/n)!" he heard his name called. He opened his eyes to see himself in an unfamiliar place, "What the fuck?" He then saw Naracia standing in front of him, "There you are (Y/n)."
"Where am I?" he asked, standing up. "This place is in a sort of purgatory to put it. I can help you train your mind here while keeping your body intact. You decided to go and get burned, so this is my only option," Naracia said while walking away. (Y/n) followed her, "Woah, Woah, Woah. Purgatory?" The armored woman turned on her heel to face him, "Shut up. I'll answer your questions later. You'll use this place to train in techniques and your mind." (Y/n) reached out to grab her, but she was suddenly just gone. He fully stood and looked around.
