• Befriending Tomioka-san •

Y/n's POV

I was just told by my crow that I had to go on a mission with Tomioka-san, and since I've wanted to become friends with him, i thought this was the perfect opportunity.

I was heading where I'm supposed to meet him, and then worst the ever happened.

I tripped over a rock.

In front of people.

I quickly got up, dusted my uniform and ran towards an empty alley, my face flushed red with embarassment.

I just stood for who knows how long and decided to go again.

-----

I

had finally reached the place where I was supposed to be meeting Tomioka-san. I saw him standing there and looked like he had been waiting for a while. I walked towards him and looks like he hadn't noticed that I had come.

"Hello Tomioka-san! How are you?" I asked him.

"Hey y/n-san, I'm fine." He answered.

"It's just y/n, not need for y/n-san."

"Okay then y/n."

There was awkward silence for about 30 seconds.

"Should we get going then?"

"Okay."

We both started walking, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask him, but looking at the conversation we just had, i don't think he will be interested to answer them. None of us spoke for about 10 minutes, so there was just crunching of leaves on a sticks. I was looking everywhere and walking cause i didn't want to trip over something again.

We reached the destination, and both of us immediately spotted the blood in the floor. Both us quickly grabbed on to our swords just in case.

Suddenly two demons appeared in front of us, we both already knew what to do. I took on one demon and Tomioka-san took on the other one.

"Moon breathing, first form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace" i quickly drew my sword and slashed swiftly in a singular horizontal motion in a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic crescent blades, being able to cut off its legs, but it made no difference as the grew back immediately. I looked in its eyes to see if it was a lower moon or an upper moon, but it was none other than a normal demon, but then how was it able to regenerate so quick?

"Oh is that all you've got little girl?" The demon said and grabbed a long stick and started swinging it in random direction. None of them hit me though, i looked over towards Tomioka-san saw that he had just cut off the demon's head.

"Moon breathing, second form: Pearl Flower Moongazing" before I could've actually used the moon breathing form, i was hit on my stomach with a stick. The blow was really hard, i was coughing up blood and couldn't move. Tomioka-san rushed over towards me.

"Are you okay?"

"I guess."

"Can you move?"

"Not really."

"Okay then you sit, I'll take care of the demon."

I sat there looking at Tomioka-san fighting the demon, and i can understand why he was the one of the strongest Hashiras.

"Water breathing, second form: Water Wheel" he leaped and vertically spun forward in the air while releasing a flowing attack in a circular motion, being able to cut of the demon's hands. The demon wasn't able to regenerate it, i figured that he had coated his sword with wisteria poison.

"Water breathing, fourth form: striking tide" he made multiple consecutive slashes while twisting his body and sword in a flowing to deliver multiple blows simultaneously, one of the blows cutting the demon's head off.

He walked towards me after the demon had died.

"Are you able to stand up?"

"I need to try."

He held his hand out so i could get up, i got up but as i started to walk i fell down again.

"Okay well hop on my back."

"What?"

"Hop on, i will carry you to the Butterfly mansion."

"Thank you."

-----

Tomioka-san had dropped me off at the butterfly mansion, because i still wasn't able to walk. I wanted to return the favor to him once I was okay again. I remember that he liked simmered salmon with Daikon, so i could amke that.

Shinobu had come in with my results.

"The demon had hit you on a vital point y/n-chan, that's why you aren't able to walk."

"Will I ever be able to walk again?"

"Don't worry, you will be fine in two to three days, stay here at the butterfly mansion till then."

"Oh then sure."

-------

Just figured out that Giyuu and and Sanemi are 21 and y/n is 17 but it's just 4 years, and my parents have the same age difference.

But anyway if you don't like then fine.
