Chapter One : Other Hashira.

I sat in the garden. Waiting for the other Hashira to arrive. I was with Oyakata-san. "Child. Where is your usual smile? Last time I saw you, when you were a child, you were very cheerful." Oyakata-san said. "Everything's fine. It's nothing to bother yourself with." I replied.

I sat at the pond. Oyakata-san made his way to the platform he usually stood at. And the other Hashira made their way in. No one seemed to notice me until Oyakata-san pointed me out. "Children. I am proud to say that we have a new Hashira." Oyakata-san announced as he pointed to me, my back facing everyone. I turned around to reveal my face. "Her name is Y/n L/n. She's 11 years old. Making her the youngest person to be a Hashira. And the fastest at a month. Everyone's jaw dropped." Sadly we do not have a residence for l/n yet, so she will under Muichiro's care. "Everyone's jaw dropped even further. Except for the long-haired boy. He seemed to be looking at the sky, daydreaming.

"Oyakata-sama. Please forgive me for interrupting. But I have to ask. Why can't she live in the butterfly estate?" Asked the black to purple-haired women with a butterfly patterned haori. "Shinobu-san. I'm afraid I can't explain now." The girl nodded in response to Oyakata-san's words. "Muichiro. Now that y/n is in your care, I must ask you to fulfil a request. Please protect her to the utmost of your ability. She's very important to me and my family." Oyakata-san's words left everyone except the boy jaw-dropped. "Oyakata-sama. I'll do as you command." Said the boy I described day-dreaming earlier. So he's Muichiro. I thought. Oyakata-san gave a nod and a thank you. "That concludes this Hashira meeting. You are all dismissed." Oyakata-san went back in his estate. Leaving me and the other Hashira.

"Ohayou! I'm Mitsuri Kanroji! It's nice to meet you! I'm so happy that we have a new addition to the Hashiras!" Said the girl with pink to green hair. Her chest was very revealing. "Hi. Nice to meet you too, Kanroji-san." I give a fake smile. "C'mon everyone greet her!" Kanroji-san exclaimed. "Hello, young one. I am Kyojuro Rengoku. It's nice to meet a friendly face around here! Also, I can comment that it's very impressive that you became a Hashira in just a month. Our records here have been two months!" Rengoku said cheerfully. "Hehe, I didn't really expect to get a record. I didn't expect to be a Hashira either."

Everybody greeted me and started asking me questions about my Nichirin Breathing. It was nice to see a lot of welcoming faces except for these two men. Their names were Sanemi Shinazugawa and Iguro Obanai. They were really suspicious of me. After everyone left, it was just me and Muichiro. He led me to his residence and where I'll be staying as a Hashira.

"I still don't get why I have to take care of you, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't want to, it's just why me? Maybe it's cause I was near your age. " He said as he stared blankly at the clouds. "Muichiro-kun, how old are you?" I ask curiously. "I'm 12. I'm the one who became Hashira in two months." Muichiro stated. "That's very cool," I said as I gave him a thumbs up and a fake smile. Muichiro took a glance at my smile then averted his eyes back to the sky.

"Put away that smile of yours. Faking one will just get you hurt in the end."

A / n here's the Muichiro y'all wanted.
