Our Little Secret

chapter 25

The next day

" So tell me again what happened. " Giyu spoke looking at the girl sitting on his desk while he was in the midst of going through revision notes for his class.

" Your sister played us she knew all along but said she trusted you so it wasn't an issue. " Shinobu said as her head leaned back into open air. Giyu only raised a brow as a gesture for her to continue which she happily did.

" Well it all started out awkward like..... "

Flashback

Sanemi and Shinobu sat quietly in the living room waiting for Totsuki, the silence was strangling the two in awkwardness. After the normal greetings and introductions Totsuki had led them to the lounging area and asked them to wait while she prepares tea. Sanemi felt so out of place here but still he kept to himself and remained neutral as if the whole situation didn't phase him though internally he was panicking he knew of Shinobu's lack of self-control at times which could land them una bad place. Shinobu herself was debating whether to act as free spirited as Totsuki had wanted her to be before or act humbled like a person who's come to beg. Finally after a long while the person of interest stepped into the room with a tray in hand she moved gracefully to the small coffee table in the lounging area and set the tray down. She sat down and straightened the kimono she wore while sitting upright with her face stitched with a stern expression that chilled the two to the bone.

" My father in law wants me to be a more respected so he thought I ought to act like a noble wife. " She finally spoke before she relaxed a bit and let her usual smile return to her face. " So how'd I do for my first time? " The two both let out a sigh of relief though Sanemi's was more audible that Shinobu.

" Uhm intimidating. You seem quite natural at it though considering Giyu I'm not surprised. " Shinobu retorted with a gentle smile. Totsuki looked at her a little while Sanemi tensed up again. As he was about to apologize and scold Shinobu he heard Totsuki giggle.

" Yeah I suppose so. Speaking of which where is my dolt of a brother? " She spoke her kind voice calmed.

" Oh I'm sorry he couldn't make it but I was in need to speak with you. " Totsuki tilted her head to the side and gestured the girl to go on. Shinobu took a deep breath and finally let her smile drop. " I don't know if you'll actually approve but Giyu and I lied to you. I'm not a nurse in training I'm actually a student at Kimitsu highschool and Giyu is my math teacher. We know this relationship is wrong but I just can't let go I love Giyu to much so please forgive him. " She said as she bowed her head almost smacking her head against the table. Totsuki sat upright and looked at the girl as if she's the strangest creature in the world.

" Shinobu raise your head. Honestly this is strange but I trust Giyu so I approve. " She said with a gentle smile shocking the two who expected her to act rather brash or even get a bit defensive. " And besides I knew from the day Giyu introduced you. "

" What?! " Shinobu asked with a slightly gapped mouth.

" Yeah Nezuko speaks about your interactions with Giyu alot. I recall how she complained their older brother didn't spend enough time with them because Shinobu-senpai was a trouble student always getting detention. " Totsuki said with a small giggle as she saw the look on the young girls face. A teasing smile soon replaced her giggles then she wiggled her eyebrows. " Though now I gotta wonder was it actually detention or were you messing around with my little brother. " At those words Shinobu turned a deep shade of red.
