A New Flame (Sanemi x Deaf Reader)

Chapter 29

-3rd Person POV-
(Y/n) ran into the courtyard to put the goldfish into the pond before running back inside to her room passing her brother Senjuro on the way. He was slightly worried at her movement so he followed her to her room as she left the door open for him, letting him know it was okay to come in.

‘UGHHHHH! HOW IS HE SO OBVIOUS!!!’ (Y/n) yelled to herself as she kicked her legs on the futon letting Senjuro know that she was frustrated. Feeling bad, Senjuro rubbed a few circles on her back before she decided to sit up and look at him.

*Sanemi-san is sooo OBLIVIOUS!!* (Y/n) signed, clearly upset while her brother wanted to know if he needed to plan a murder with his father or not.

*Why do you say he is oblivious? Do I need to “talk” to him?* Senjuro signed with a serious mood, but was curious about how the night went.

*I tried to tell him that I loved him, but he didn’t understand me since I decided it was such a “great” idea to talk instead of doing something I was comfortable with… I’m such an idiot.* She signed before grabbing her hair in frustration.

Senjuro then hugged the female as she released her hands to her side before waiting for her brother to respond to her.

-Senjuro’s POV-
‘How dare Shinazugawa make (Y/n) upset… I’m sure Kyojuro-san would probably kill him if he found out…’ I thought, smiling at the thought before sitting back on my legs, sitting straight up.

*What did you say to him?* I asked her wondering if Shinazugawa just misheard her. She looked at me for a second before getting slightly embarrassed. *I told him that I loved him…* She said, looking away avoiding eye contact.

I looked at her unamused as I didn’t understand why she would be so embarrassed since I am literally her brother. *How… did you say it? Didn’t you say you said it?* I signed to her after getting her attention again.

“Da… Tsuki….” She said aloud before signing to him. *That’s how I said it.* I felt bad as now I understood why Shinazugawa misunderstood. ‘The moon?’ I thought before signing to her again.

*What did Shinazugawa think you said?* I asked, thinking he might have thought she said the same thing I did. *He thought I said “the moon…”* She responded looking a little down, but I don’t blame her. Her crush didn’t like her.

I would be upset too…

*You did say “the moon,” you said “da tsuki” instead of “daisuki…”* I signed, hoping that she won’t get discouraged with talking since she has a beautiful voice. *I guess… that would explain it… Thank you Senjuro.* (Y/n) signed with a beautiful smile, but I had a feeling it might have been forced.

I looked over to my right as I heard the sliding door open as our father Shinjuro came into the room. °What happened? How was the date?° Shinjuro responded as he sat next to me across from (Y/n).

~After catching him up~

°Oh, that sucks… Do I need to hit him once?° Father responded with a smirk and hit his fist into his hand. I laughed a little since that was the same reaction I had, but (Y/n) simply told him that won’t be necessary.

-3rd Person POV-
°(Y/n), have you finished packing your stuff since I asked you a few days ago?° Shinjuro asked, before standing up toward the door before turning to see (Y/n)’s response. (Y/n) sweat dropped since she had completely forgotten about packing. 

°(Y/n)! You were supposed to be done packing and ready to leave to your brother’s pillar estate as it was requested by the Ubuyashiki family themselves. They requested you to be closer to the mansion as it will be quicker to the butterfly mansion and closer to the Ubuyashiki family.° Shinjuro signed a little panicked before picking up (Y/n) under her arms to her room.

°We just got time for some clothes for now until the kakushi comes. So let's hurry up…° Shinjuro said/signed after he put down (Y/n).

-(Y/n)’s POV-
~After a few minutes~
The kakushi soon arrived at the estate as they were here to help me move my clothes and uniforms to Kyojuro’s old estate, but he spent his time on the weekends with me and Senjuro as father used to not spend time with us back then.

It was about 10am or 11am once me and a few of the kakushi were carrying some boxes to the estate. They all tried to carry my boxes that I had, but I insisted that I should carry it since this is my stuff.

We were walking for a little bit before I noticed that I meant one of the kakushi before. I bent forward to catch her attention. I got her attention soon after doing that. She looked over to me and closed her eyes, but I had the feeling that she was smiling.

We got to the Pillar estate as it was around the same size as my family house, but I didn’t have a problem with that since I had multiple guest rooms. I noticed that one of the rooms wasn't empty as it was filled with different types of greenery. The bed was a dark spruce wood frame as the fabric was a tealish color.

I looked for the nearest kakushi as they set down the little boxes I had in a pile before pulling over one of the male kakushi. I pulled out a notepad before writing down, “What the deal with this room being filled? Not like it’s bothering me, but I was just wondering.”

He held out his hand asking for the feather as I handed it to him. He soon gave me the notepad back as he stood there next to me. It said, “Oh, this is the estate's kakushi. They keep an eye on the estate while you are gone, and most estates have more than one, but Rengoku-san had some strict rules and training, so most of them left, except one. She will be the one to look after you after your missions when or if you get injured.”

‘Oh that’s pretty cool actually.’ I thought to myself as I bowed slightly before giving the male kakushi a thumbs as before handing him the notepad again. ‘Who is the estate’s kakushi?’ The notepad said, but a female kakushi came and leaned over the male kakashi's shoulder before looking me in the eyes.

*I am.* The shorter female signed. I looked at her for a minute before remembering her from the butterfly estate a few days ago. *Wait! You're that girl I talked to a few days ago.* I signed back as she led me into her room.

She turned to me as she sat down on the bed laying down before sitting back up again. *I am Matsumi Moki,  I am 24, and I know the Mist Breathing Style as the Pillar taught me a few things, but he soon forgot, so here I am…* She looked back up to me with her teal eyes before getting embarrassed.

*Wait! Sorry! We're here for you, I shouldn’t be sitting…* She signed before quickly getting up and heading to the door. I laughed a little before following behind her. Other kakushi came up to me holding some of the boxes. Moki turned to me telling me where I wanted them to put the boxes.

*Oh, ummm? You can just set them there for now, Ima go through them later if that’s okay.* I signed as Moki translated for them.

‘Maybe this won’t be so bad living away from Senjuro and father. I mean I do have Nora to message them.’ I thought as I waved the other kakushi off before laying on the floor stomach up.

‘Ima take a nap…’

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have decided to with this story in one of my multiple decorative notebooks that I have and decided it was best to write one chapter a day in it so I won't over work myself through the night.

But thank you so much for all the support and if y'all have any ideas, but let me know. I do take options 😁

I hope you all have a nice day or night. Toodals!
