A/N: I think this story has enhanced my writing abilities. I took my English final and I was surprised by my writing lmao. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR VOTING FOR MY BOOK/STORY/WHATEVER!! I APPRECIATE IT!!!

 I walked out of the Ubuyashiki estate, relieved that the Master gave me a day off after that injury the demon gave me. 

Hmm what should I do today? Bother someone...? I was thinking when I bumped into a familiar person. 

"Oh, Rengoku-san! whatchu up to?" I said in a bubbly tone. Looking down with a cheery smile, he said, "I'm about to head on a mission! On a train," a train? oh the Mugen Train.

"Don't die on me Rengoku-san, promise me okay?" The Flame Pillar lifted up his pinky for our usual promise shake.

We made this the first time we went on a mission together, promising that neither one won't die. He was like one of those weird but cool uncles. 

I put out my pinky, crossing it with his, then connecting our thumbs, "Promise~ Chu~" I said.

"I Promise" he smiled.

"Haha, I'm serious though don't die," I nudged his shoulder, he gave his laugh and waved me off. 

Well what do I do now? "INOSUKEEE!" I saw three people run past me. um...okay.

"SORRY Y/N WE HAVE TO GO TO A TRAIN," train? Rengoku-san? three idiots? should I be worried?

"Ha...it's alright, be careful." they continued to run off. Didn't even say bye...this day off is boring.

OH I CAN BOTHER MUICHIRO, is he on a mission? I tilted my head to the side to think. "I don't think he is...or is he?" I mumbled. 

"Who what?" a familiar voice crept behind me. "Muichiro don't do that, I could've attacked you."

"That's not likely I'm pretty skilled." He told me in a monotone voice. Ouch okay, forgot that I literally tripped him last time.  I roll my eyes and I can see Muichiro looking at me.

My heart was beating faster and I controlled my blush. HEART STOP DOING THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!! 

"I was thinking maybe we can spar together?" he asked. After that comment? no.

"Yea sure, I've got nothing else to do," I smiled and grabbed my bokken. Then we headed to the training grounds together. 

Bokken = Japanese wooden training sword, usually the size or shape of a katana.

"I'm not going easy on you Y/N," iM nOT GoInG EaSY oN yoU, like I was gonna go easy on him.

I started off with a swift attack aiming at his ankles. 

He blocked my attack and attempted to land a sky attack on me. Annoying mf. I blocked It with my wooden sword and the force of it made me stumble back.

Alright that's enough of this. I fixed my posture and my fighting stance, not taking my eyes off my opponent, which happened to be Muichiro. Y/N calm your damn hormones. 

He came running at me aiming for my side. I did a quick turn and prepared for a breath move. Ice Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Ice.

I attempted to to a slash but he grabbed by foot making the ice being formed turn into water. How did he manage to-

"Ah shit-" He threw me across the battlefield. i managed to get up and he decided to make a move of his own.

Breath of Mist, Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze, He unleashed a furry of slashes at me. 

Dodging every slash carefully one managed to hit me, BRUH THAT BURNS

Frustration filling my head, I went up to him and attacked him out of anger. I'm being careless again, oh no...

Muichiro ended up pushing me on my back on the ground, still having that blank face on. "Ok you win," I sighed and tried to get up.

This bitch won't let go of me. "Um...Muichiro you can get off now," GET UP BEFORE I KICK YOU....and start hyperventilating. 

 I could see him staring into my soul. I can't help it anymore and start to blush a bit. So I wrapped my legs around his waist and twisted my torso so I could push him to the side.

"Congrats you landed an 'attack'," An irk appeared on my head when I heard him say that. 

"GO HOME MUICHIRO," I slapped his back and started to walk to my estate. 

So much of a day off, I'm exhausted now, and slightly injured...EVEN MORE.

I felt something, grab my hand, I turned around and saw Muichiro staring into my eyes again. "You gotta stop doing that..." I mumbled under my breath. 

"What was that Y/N?" he tilted his head to the side, clearly confused. Fuck bro, why is he so cute...

"Nothing, nothing," I waved him off and continued to walk, now run, to my estate.

Once I was inside I peeked out the window, and I saw Muichiro there still standing in the same position where I left him, looking down at his hand. Is he smiling?! NUH UH I'm becoming delulu.

[Spoilers he was smiling :)]

I took a shower and put comfy clothes on and when to the floor. Lying on the cool floor always hits the spot...

I hear someone knock on the door and I don't wanna get up. They can just leave. That's when the knocking became louder. Just ignore it...

My door bursts open showing a long-haired boy with blueish tips. "Muichiro...what are you doing here, my poor door didn't deserve that."

"I'm bored." He came and laid down right next to me. "You know you're a very pretty person," he just says out of the blue. He can't just burst in and say that!!

"Are you sick?" I get up and look down at him. He doesn't look sick...unless...NAH I'm being delulu again. 

"No Y/N, I'm just saying the truth." He assured me, okay I guess maybe I'm not crazy or delulu.

He gets up and pats my head, having a little smile on his face. What is he doing to me?? 

"You hungry?" He shakes his head no, good cause I'm not cooking.

★ Time Skip ★

The period of darkness started, which meant it was the perfect time for demons to come out. Rengoku-san and the other idiots are still out...are they okay?

Muichiro was still at my estate having a peaceful nap. After the events that happened today, I don't think I can look at him the same.

"CAW CAW I HAVE A LETTER FOR MISS TOMIOKA!" My face got hit by a letter that was thrown by my crow.

"Use my first name Atlas, and WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" My crow attempted to make an escape out the window, but it hit the window. Stupid bird.

A letter from Obanai-san?  I was reading the letter, and my eyes widened, come. now. I'm not asking.

"Hey Muichiro," I nudged him on the shoulder to try and wake him up. 

His eyes were wide open when he heard my voice. "It's time to go, I'm going to Obanai-san's estate." 

"Fine," he picked up his katana and accidentally whacked me with it while trying to adjust it on his hip belt.

"WHY IS EVERYONE AIMING AT MY HEAD?" 

He left using the back door and I prepared myself to go meet Obanai-san. Stupid Obanai, calling me in the middle of the night, actually...BEFORE DAWN. Did I forget to sleep...?

I walked towards his estate seeing him on that same branch he was always on. 

"You know, eventually your fat ass is gonna snap that branch and I'll laugh." These people need to let me sleep, I'm cranky.

He rolled his eyes at me and landed on his roof, I followed them after landing gracefully on the roof as well. "I need love advice."

"psh..BAHAHAHA NUH UH, NOT-... NO-.....AHAHAHAH," I playfully started to hit him. Calm down before he attacks me.....HAHAHA

"STOP LAUGHING I'M SERIOUS! the others would judge me."

I started to think of what the others would say to him...

Shinobu: "Ara Ara~ you're finally expressing an emotion~"

Uzui: "FLAMBOYANT! I remember when I asked out Suma.......then Maiko.....then Hinatsuru(continues babbling about wives)"

My Brother: "...."

Muichiro: What did you say again? I was spacing out...

Sanemi won't even bother talking in a polite manner....then there's Gyomei and Rengoku, Rengoku is on a mission, and Gyomei, he could've tried him at least.

"Okay I see what you mean," I shrugged.

"Since you're with that airhead, I thought you'd know," he commented and had a smug look on his face.

"FIRST OF ALL, WE AREN'T TOGETHER!!!"(yet) 

"That seems unlikely to stay that way," I punched his shoulder, "....well....THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME!"

"Muichiro can be...forgetful but he's good for you, your energies complement each other. I can see my 'little sister' be with that airhead."

My face had pure shock written all over it, "um- I.... yes." "ANYWAY LET'S MOVE ON TO YOU AND MITSURI-SAN," I forced a laugh to try to change the subject. "What did you wanna ask?"

"Should I confess? Or wait, or should I wait for her to do it? Or-" 

"Okay relax," I cut him off.

"Honestly, I think that you should be the one to do it Mitsuri-san can be really shy at times, but also it's good to like slowly do it like express your feelings about her with respectfully small things. The small things matter Obanai-san....they really do." I look up into the sky smiling.

"But Obanai-san in this world, happiness may not last forever, so please don't wait too long. Shit man why am I getting so deep with this."

"When did you become the older, wiser one?" His eyebrow perked up. 

"Hahaha....just some experience that's all." I smiled at him.

He patted my head and the daybreak started to come. "Thanks Y/N, you're my favorite Hashira, and 'sibling'," 

"Aha~ lets gooooo," I start laughing

Two crows started to swarm around us, "FLAME PILLAR, KYOJURO RENGOKU WAS DEFEATED IN BATTLE WITH UPPERMOON 3! FLAME PILLAR, KYOJURO RENGOKU WAS DEFEATED IN BATTLE WITH UPPERMOON 3!" They screamed in unison.

An audible gasp came from my mouth, "What...how? He promised...He- no I won't believe it."

"Y/N-" I jumped off the roof and started to walk away. He promised me he wouldn't die!  I could already feel the tears form. No stay strong....until you reach you're room Y/N.

I got back to my estate, locked the doors, and closed every curtain. (dw she's not emo) I don't want anyone to see me in this state. Just gotta calm yourself down, you'll be fine tomorrow right? 

I laid back in my bed and looked up at my ceiling. 

That's when memories came through, from when I first started as a Hashira to now.

"You have some good passion kid! Let's train!"

"UMAI! Y/N YOU'RE A GOOD COOK!"

"Burning sensation in your heart? For Tokito-kun? I'm the flame pillar but that's out of my league ahah."

"I promise"

In this world, happiness doesn't last forever...Those words repeated again and again in my head. My heavy eyes closed and I went into a slumber. 

Okay towards the end I started to get personal lmao, Bruh I have 2 finals tomorrow and 2 the next day then another 2 the next. SAVE ME.
