Chapter 4

"I'm stupid, I'm sorry."

Shinobu silently sits on the floor. Her frown on her face not showing any expression, she continues to space out whilst staring at a wall "Kchu?" A inaudible voice calls out. Slowly getting more audible and clearer. "Kochou!" Shinobu flinches surprised "U-uh... Did I startle you?" Tanjiro says worriedly and Nezuko looks at her worridly as well "... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." "Oh, well, do you know Urokodaki?" Tanjiro asks but Shinobu shakes her head. "I was trained by someone else." "Whoa! Really? Who?" Shinobu goes quiet for a bit as she fiddles her fingers with Nezuko's small hands. She can't tell him that information. "Sakamoto" "Sakomo-" Tanjiro suddenly smells something odd about Shinobu. "Kochou, are you lying?" "You're really nosy aren't you?" she says bluntly "E-eh?" Shinobu then realizes that she broke her character. She shook her head and returned to the cold expression "Why are you here?" "Well, because Giyuu said to keep talking to you?" "Annoying me for a week is not a excuse." Shinobu rolls her eyes

'Besides, Tomioka hasn't even sent a letter of apology for being irrational. Argh, do I have to send him the letter?' Shinobu unknowingly thought aloud and Tanjiro heard it. "Umm, not trying to be nosy, but, have you and Giyuu... Gotten into a fight?" "It's none of your buisness." she scoffs. "Besides, don't you have to chase the heart of the butterfly?" " 'Chase the heart of the butterfly'? " "I meant Kanao." "Oh! I thought you were referring to Giyuu." "Why would I? He's awful. But then seeing you two as a couple would be... Strange." Tanjiro tilted his head to the side confused "Why's that?" "He's unbearable to say the least." "Ah, I see." Nezuko jumps out of Shinobu's lap and tugs on Tanjiro's sleeve, pointing at the main door. Signaling that they're outside "I think we should go now, thank you for the small talk Kocho." he stands up and bows respectfully, Shinobu returns it with a nod. Nezuko crawls in the box and Tanjiro carries the box on his shoulders "I'll assist you to the exit." Shinobu stands up then leads him to the exit.

Muffled voices can be heard from the other side, Zenitsu and Inosuke we're fighting and Genya was trying to calm them down. But then they froze when the door opened "Ah! K-Kocho!" Zenitsu stuttered "Weakling!" Inosuke exclaimed but then Genya shutted him up "Good afternoon, Kocho..." Genya said in a shy but kind voice "Thank you for letting us stay Kocho!" Shinobu nods "Stay safe." she waved goodbye to them. Then shut the door.
Caw! Caw!
Shinobu looked up and saw the flying messenger fly in. "Message! Invite! Butterfly! Mansion!" The messenger exclaimed "Hm." she humed then stepped out of the estate. Making her way to the butterfly estate.

Shinobu knocked on the door and Aoi immediately opens it with Giyuu beside her "Come in, Shinobu." Tomioka says 'calling me by my first name? Skeptical...' he leads them to his room.
"Now that we're alone, I apologize for lashing out on you. That was very irrational on me." he bows but Shinobu stops him from doing so "Don't. Let's get this over with and stop calling me by my first name." "The usual Shinobu." Giyuu chuckles and Shinobu pouts. As Giyuu looks closer at Shinobu he finds that to be quite cute of her. But he snaps out of the thought "as I was saying a week ago, I didn't want to handle the butterfly breath. It feels as if I was not suited for it. so, I thought it to you. Because if anyone would suit handling what I've stopped and start it again, it would be you." "My, I'm flattered." Giyuu chuckles and Shinobu scoffs. "Say, why did you wait a week to apologize?" "Well..." Giyuu thought about it "Giyuu finds Shinobu mad being cute."

"I never lie."
