I was watering some of my plants since it was a pretty clear day. I heard tomioka would be returning from one of his mission today.

somewhere during noon, I went to the headquarters as the master had called for me. I put on my uniform, flattened out my kaori and placing my nichirin sword with me. tying my hair into a ponytail, putting a little bit of lip balm to make sure i wasn't trying to chapped my lips out.

as i arrived at the headquarters, i spotted tomioka. a smile formed on my face, walking towards him and waving.

"hello~," i chimed, "how did your mission go?"

"fine," the male replied shortly. i rolled my eyes. silent as ever.

"how are you?" he asked eyeing the little bandage on my left cheek, "you should all be healed by now."

i winced at his words, "this?" pointing to my cheek, "i was training and kinda accidentally slipped and cut myself with a rock."

he stayed silent before a sigh came out, "be careful next time," placing his hand on my head and ruffling my hair slightly.

is he,,,,,,getting comfortable with me....?

tomioka took his hand from my head and seeing my face beat red, concerned was evident in his eyes, "are you ok?"

"huh? y-yeh," stuttering by the sudden contact.

"lord oyakata-san has arrived," the twins chorused holding hand leading the master to the front. ammediately both of us went on our knees greeting him.

"good morning master, hope all the blessings may be given apon you," i spoke politely, giving a small smile. the master thanked me.

"good morning my beautful children, giyu and y/n," he replied, "it's a lovely day today isn't it?"

"yes master," tomioka replied.

"i've requested for this mini meeting at the headquarters to talk about kahira yamato, as we know is y/n's sister," master paused, "condolences. such a horrible fate that was brung towards you y/n."

"it's alright master, thank you for your concern," i said looking back at the ground clearly was still saddened by the mission.

"i shouldn't have let you go on that mission," master stated. i shook my head and gave him a sad grin.

"no. if i wanted anyone to kill her it would be me-or tomioka-san," cringing by the way i was talking formally of tomioka's name despite being the same age, "atleast i was able to know the truth behind my parent's and sibling's death. and i'm grateful to have one last sight of her."

"very well then," master smiled, "you are very strong y/n, i'm proud of you."

tears were threatened in my eyes but i suppressed it. having to talk about my family was very hard for me.
