All of the Hashira sat patiently, chatting and catching up. Tengen was discussing his wives with Mitsuri - Obanai just glared, Rengoku and Gyomei were discussing nature and Shinobu was poking fun at Tomioka. Things were as they should have been, except two individuals were missing.

"The master has arrived!" A Kakushi announced, bowing as he opened the sliding door for Master Ubuyashiki, who entered out onto the engawa with a smile that met his eyes, his kimono dragging on the floor behind him

Instantly the chatter of the group fell silent, and all eyes were on him, wide and attentive,

"Hey. Where are the weird kids?" Tengen leant over to Obanai, whispering with a chuckle, and Obanai snickered in response, then leaping onto a tree branch,

"Hello, my children" Kagaya waved, looking around for you, yet he couldn't see you in front of him, you weren't in your usual spot either, "It appears we are still missing two Hashira, let us wait for them before the meeting begins" he then sits down on some cushions the Kakushi laid down for him,

"Master you are so considerate!" Gyomei cried, bowing,

"Yes! Let us hope Sanemi arrives soon. Do we have a guest today master?" Rengoku loudly asked, his large smile lighting up his aura,

Just as Kagaya was about to reply two sets of footsteps could be heard from the entrance of the estate, and joyful chatter followed,

Around the corner came two blobs of white hair, both different shades and glowing in the sunlight. The two of you had large smiles on your faces, which made Kagaya feel an unwelcome sting in his heart.

"What is this feeling? I thought Y/N took all the pain away?"

Mitsuri clasped her hands together, running over to the two of you, "Awh Sanemi, is this your new girlfriend? You are so cute!" She exclaimed, interrogating him as she grasped your small hand,

"Who would want to date that?" Sanemi snapped, moving away from you, but you just laughed in response giving him a harsh slap.

"Sanemi is right, she isn't much to look at" came a spiteful voice, "Besides if she isn't a Hashira she should leave" Obanai spat from his tree branch, staring down at Mitsuri and pulling out his sword, aiming towards Y/N

"I'd appreciate it if you could address me directly, mister snake" you sneered, smiling up at him, You looked unbothered but your aura was something else,

"Sorry we are late master, we were just catching up" Sanemi bowed, a cautious smile on his face as he harshly dragged you along and away from Mitsuri,

You wouldn't meet kagaya's eyes, "Yes, sorry Master Ubuyashiki" you mumbled

"Speak up! You are in the presence of the master! Have some respect" Obanai's voice commanded, making a hue of pink cover your cheeks in embarrassment

"Who does this guy think he is?" You thought to yourself, rolling your eyes

"It is alright my children, I understand it has been a while" Kagaya replied in a displeased manner, yet his soothing voice calmed you, "Let's get the meeting started shall we?"

You frowned, Kagaya wasn't one to usually show his true emotions in front of the Hashira, something must be wrong,

"How lovely it is to see you again mis-" A loud and boisterous voice began to say before you slammed his big head into the ground, his mice scurried across from underneath the engawa to their master, trying to pull you off him,

A smile graced your lips, but it didn't meet your eyes, "Be quiet, the master is talking" you whispered harshly, holding his head in place until he nodded. Gasps could be heard from behind you yet you just looked forward,
