My eyes open, and it takes a while to recollect my memories, until the coldness of my clothes remind me of the little water accident I had earlier. I don't even remember how or when I slept off. I strain my eyeballs to look up, and I notice the sun had almost mostly set.

I wonder if my wound has gotten better, so I idiotically press it and-. It was a bad idea, I suppress a groan coming from my throat as it throbs again, my eyes water from the pain, though I wasn't going to cry, the water just came out on it's own.

Shit! I can't afford to lose water, who knows when those stupid people would even remember that I need food, I think to myself, my stomach groaning in agreement. I catch the tear that rolls down my face, putting it in my mouth... Salty, I taste it carefully. 

I'm more than sure, it's the solidarity and lameness of being kept in this room, that has made me kind of stupid, but oh well, no one seems to have thought of me so it's fine.

Just then, the door swings open and of all people Uzui marches in, as flamboyant as ever; he always says that doesn't he?

"Shinobu, look how lousy you look in that bed." he says, but more like yells, can't tell the difference with him.

"Hey." I say with a neutral face.

"You can't even speak flamboyantly, oh nah, you never have." he says with slight disgust and sarcasm.

"Ah-"

"Sh, I don't want to hear another lame thing come out your mouth." he abruptly held out his hand in a stop sign way, "At least not as tragic as what the others, and this rainbow eyed demon told me- I swear I could have killed him by mistake if the others didn't intervene..." he looked at me with utmost disapproval, "That you're the demon's wife!" he wailed, putting his head in one of his hands with shame.

"Bro what!?" I snap in fury.

Uzui looks at me with a cold eye.

"Didn't I tell you to keep quiet, young lady?" he asks rhetorically, "Have you gone mad though?!" he frowns at me.

I don't say anything, thinking of an answer.

"Ah I see, you may speak." he clears his throat, and I glare at him.

"I'm not in a relationship with Douma." I say finally.

"Tch you even called him by his name." I fiddles with some random bracelet he had.

"But really, it's not like that at all." I complain, Uzui had a way of making people look bad and he was doing pretty well right now.

"Hmmm, whatever." he sighed sitting on the bed next to mine, "But all I want to say is tha-" his eyes widen, his breath hitching suddenly.

"Uhh, are you okay?" I ask confused.

"Ah Shinobu! I see, you want to do a forbidden love!" he stands up, his eyes legit on fire, "That's... That's okay I suppose!" he calms down a bit, "Better than all the cringe moves Giyu was going on you back then." the guy rolled his eyes with a chuckle.

"If you don't shut up, I'll make your face unrecognizable, your flamboyant face would look like the floor." a cold, depressed voice speaks up.

We both look towards the door, where Giyu leans at. Giyu, making moves on me? I laugh in my head.

"Speak of the devil." Uzui rolls his eyes, "But, Giyu, I was joking." he smiles sheepishly.

"I don't care whether you were joking or not." he frowns before turning to me, "Shinobu, how are you feeling?" his voice soft.

I was about to say I was good, but then my brain had other ideas, I felt my face heat up, and I couldn't get the words out.

"Ah- yes, me good, sorry I'm okay." I mumble breaking the way too long eye contact we just had.

"Hmph." I hear a sigh from Giyu.

When I look at him, he has an almost unnoticeable smirk on his face, and I had to take a second glance because, I've never seen Giyu smirk like that. Maybe my eyes were just playing tricks on me.

"Sheesh, I'll leave now, this is too much." Uzui stands up, leaving the room.

He walks out the room without saying a word, and silence falls on us. The door slams shut all of a sudden.

"Have fun." I hear Uzui's voice.

I look at Giyu, who's already looking at me and I clear my throat awkwardly, not sure of what to say. He walks over to my bed sitting down at my feet.

"Shinobu, you confuse me you know." he looks at me in the eye, and it takes a lot not to look away.

"How?" I manage to keep my face from blushing, and I maintain a small smile.

He sighs, "Well, for one, you clearly like." he pauses, "Douma.", he looks at me again, "But at the same time." he moves closer to me, and closer, until his face is right in front of mine, "You blush so hard when I'm close to you." I feel my cheeks go on fire, I look away from him, "Like this." his voice goes dangerously low.

He touches my face, and I blush even harder.

"But, I'm not complaining." he whispers.

I look at him surprised. Since when did Giyu seem so horny?! I couldn't help but take in his scent. This would be the second time I've been this close to him.

"And then, back when you kissed me." he held my face tighter preventing me from looking away, "It's fake right?" the smirk I saw earlier was now clearer, and you couldn't miss it.

"Giyu..." I'm lost of words.

"It's okay, I'm not forcing you to tell me anything." I sits up adjusting his clothes, "It's just, I hate seeing you with him." he looks at me with his normal face.

The door bangs open, and the air in here suddenly gets a bit cold.

"If you want to say such things, say it to me, not her." I hear Douma's voice at the door.

Giyu turns to Douma, who has a neutral look, but I could tell he was mad.

"Douma, it's not really-" I try to explain.

"Quiet." he interrupts me, my heart pangs in a sudden pain, this was the harshest I'd ever seen Douma get at me.

"Alright if you really want me to say it.", Giyu stands up, from where he sits and walks up to the Upper Two, "Stay away from Shinobu.".

All of a sudden the air in the room picks up and Giyu receives and unexpected punch from Douma in his abdomen. I'm taken aback.

"Douma, no!" I raise my voice.

Giyu holds his stomach, slightly shocked but quickly recovers.

"Oh, this is how you want it huh." Giyu spits.

"Don't tell me what I should do with Shinobu." Douma says icily, albeit his face which was neutral.

Suddenly Sanemi rushes into the room.

"Are you guys serious right now?!".
