I woke up from my unconscious state, and I wasn't in front of my brother's house anymore, instead, I was, from looking around, probably in the Mist Hashira's estate. It's so dusty in here.

Wait why am I even here in the first place? I looked around to see if I could find I guess my now, boyfriend. Were we even together? We sorta just confessed I guess... I looked at the couch, and I saw him peacefully napping.

I glanced at the clothing I was wearing, and I realized it wasn't mine, my cheeks flushed a visible red hue and I thought of all the possibilities of who could've changed me. "Muichiro!" I yelled out.

He stayed in his position before, not moving an inch. Bro he's really fast asleep.

 "MUICHIRO!" I suddenly yelled and I saw his head look up. His tired eyes looked into mine and I questioned him, "Who changed my clothing?" I pointed at the clothes I was wearing.

"Well...I asked Kanroji-san to do it...since I didn't have your consent," I saw him tilt his head, probably trying to remember the events. 

"Ah okay." There was a brief moment of silence until he started talking again, "Didn't you want to go somewhere today? I don't really remember where..." 

My eyes lit up when he mentioned it, "Oh yea the Hot Springs!" Hm maybe not the ones in the swordsmith's village, I don't wanna be carried there.

Muichiro nodded his head in response to my excitement. I grabbed both of his hands and dragged him out the door, "Come on Mui! It's the hottest time of the day~" 

I heard Muichiro sigh and didn't bother to stop me from dragging him away. 

We walked towards the neighboring village where they had some hot springs. Most of the Hashira go to this one because of the good service and food. "Muichiro~" He looked up at my eyes. "Hm?"

I started laughing and smiling, "It's so pleasant walking with you haha," He stopped in his tracks and stared at me for a good few minutes. 

"Your smile...it reminds me of someone..." The comment he said made me blush like crazy, and I looked the other way attempting to hide it. 

I could already feel the warm steam coming from the hot springs and I ran up to one of the pools. 

"Ma'am you have to pay first..." I stared at her blankly, I never had to pay before?

Muichiro walked right past us and was able to go in without paying. "Hey why can he go in but I can't?"

The person at the front started cackling and pointing her finger at Muichiro and then at me, "He's a HASHIRA, you're NOT," I gave her the most disgusted face someone could make.

"Um. I'm a Hashira?" I stared at her, even if Muichiro didn't express any emotion, I swore I saw him trying to keep a laugh from escaping. How does she not know I'm a Hashira but she knows Muichiro is one? This bitch gotta be biased.

"You're just saying that now." A vein appeared on my forehead when the words came out of her mouth. I'm so close to knocking this girl unconscious and then running inside...

"She's a Hashira alright," I saw Tengen appear out of nowhere with a towel covering him. 

"Tengen-sama are you being serious? This lowlife cannot be a Hashira." FUCK IT THAT'S IT I'MMA PUNCH HER.

"Lowlife? The only lowlife I see here is you...maybe Tengen-san, but Y/N here is the Ice pillar." I hear Muichiro mutter the Tengen part and I almost started laughing. 

"Oh my goodness Y/N-sama my dearest apologies!" I saw the girl bow before me and I held in the cocky smirk I was about to let out. Y/N be the better person...be the better person...fuck it.

"That's Tomioka-sama to you." I said in a deeper voice than usual and dragged Muichiro towards the hot spring. 

At the corner of my eye I could see Tengen following us, why is he following us? This is supposed to be a TENGEN-FREE ZONE with only ME and MUICHIRO.

Before entering the hot spring I asked Tengen a question, "Why are you still here?" I turned around to see a suspicious Sound Pillar smirking. 

"I need you for a mission, specifically in the Entertainment District." I looked at him with disgusted eyes, "For what?"

"No." I heard Muichiro right beside me, looking more annoyed than he usually is at Tengen. 

"Come on! I need 3 girls to be undercover in the 3 houses to find my wives." From those words, I could already imagine the things I'd have to do in order to go undercover. What if they want to sell me to some old geezer before I find his wives?

"Um...does Oyakata-sama agree with this? Plus I don't think my brother would be very pleased."

"The master just told me I was allowed to use any 3 girls as long as they agree, AND WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR BROTHER." 

I could feel Muichiro's annoyed energy radiating out of him, if I had to be honest, I was kinda getting on my nerves too.

"My answer is no, goodbye Tengen-san..." I turned around to face Muichiro, placing a big smile on my face.

"Now let's continu- TENGEN-SAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT ME DOWN!" I felt him grab me and put me on his shoulder. He started running away. IS HE REALLY KIDNAPPING ME? "LET GO!"

I tried to release myself out of his grip but the more I tried, the more it hurt. "You're gonna help me in this mission," He let out a proud smile. He's proud of child abduction?!

My Ice breathing is useless since I can't move my arms...maybe I should really create a new 9th form...damn if this was a demon I'd be dead.

Mist Breathing, 7th Form: Obscuring clouds. Oh fuck.

Mist surrounded the area causing both me and Tengen not to be able to see. In an instant, another pair of arms grabbed me out of Tengen's grasp and punched him in the stomach causing him to fall down. 

The fog/mist cleared away and it revealed me in Muichiro's arms and Tengen on the ground shook from the attack that was clearly supposed to be used on demons.

"Ugh, fine I'll find some other girls then." He went away quickly causing wind to blow in both Muichiro and my faces.

I hurriedly grabbed Muichiro's hand and walked towards the hot springs once again, passing the annoying front desk person.

"Alright...back where we started," I smiled at him and went in the water. We were both only half naked(meaning like swimsuits) since it was a shared-gender spring(and they're underage obviously).

I sighed and closed both of my eyes, enjoying the nice steam soaking into my skin. 

I opened one of my eyes to see Muichiro doing the same.

"You're staring." Both of my eyes widened from the sudden comment and a light blushed stained my cheeks. 

"Haha...no I'm not..." I denied it.

"Sure N/N, whatever you say...but it's cute though," I could see a faint smile appear on his lips. 

(N/N is Nickname)

EH WHAT...WHAT HUH NO UM. "UM THANKS HHAAHAHAHA is it getting warm in here?" I started to use my hand as a fan, trying to not make my blush obvious. I'm definitely making it obvious.

"What's wrong N/N, can't a boyfriend express their feelings for their girlfriend?" Once he said that my mouth went wide open. I guess he saw my shocked expression because he started to smile bigger than he ever did.

"Muichiro your smile is pretty!" I went up to him with such awe in my eyes. I could see a tint of red appear on his face. Yess payback~

"You know Y/N...I never really heard about your past," I heard this attempt of changing the topic and his smile went back to his dull expression. Welp that didn't last too long...

"Oh my past?" I went deeper into the water, "That's a story for another time Mui," I put on a smile so he wouldn't have to worry. 

He shrugged and nodded his head. Maybe I can tell him after this.

I was about to speak when I heard two familiar voices speaking to each other in the hot spring over. 

"Y/N what are you doi-" I put my hand up shushing him and listened in to the conversation the two people were having.

"Iguro-san! you never told me you liked hot springs," I heard one of the voices say, "Yea..." the other voice said. 

"I think Obanai-san and Mitsuri-san are over there...maybe on a date~" I whispered to Muichiro. He looked over to me nodding his head unamused. Or maybe not on a date because Obanai is too scared to confess. 

I rolled my eyes at the thought and looked over to Muichiro, "Carry me on your shoulders so I can spy on them hehe," I gestured for him to come over. 

"Do I have to?" I could hear the annoyance in his voice while he walked over. "Please?" I put both of my hands on his shoulders, smiled, and looked in his eyes. This is my number one tactic to get what I want~ it should work.

"Fine..." He picked me up and put me on his shoulders. I took a look at the other hot spring and thought for a bit. I'm pretty sure this is a violation of privacy..aka illegal. WHATEVERRRR.

I continued to listen in for a bit longer. "Aw Iguro-san you got me some Sakura Mochi~?" He nodded his head and looked the other way. 

The laugh I let out was a bit loud causing both of their heads to turn to me. "Y/N?!" I heard Obanai shout. 

A sigh came from Muichiro and I motioned him to let me down. "WE GOTTA RUN NOW!" I started to shake Muichiro in a panicked state.

I grabbed his hand once more and ran as fast as I could away from Obanai. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit, worth it tho~ I got the blackmail I needed. 

Muichiro following behind me, I led us to my Estate where I locked all the doors and windows. "Don't worry Muichi-"

"Y/N YOU CAN'T HIDE, I'MMA BREAK DOWN YOUR DOOR." not my door again...

"Don't worry Y/N I'll protect you." I saw the grip he had on his katana tightened and the serious look he had on his face.

"First of all, I can protect myself, second, no fighting pillars Muichiro." He went back into his relaxed state, sitting down, crossing his legs. 

I heard steps on my roof and my eyes widened, ah shit not the roof...

"CAW CAW OBANAI IGURO NEW MISSION, NEW MISSION!" I heard his bird shout. Thank you Obanai's bird. 

"That was more scary than I anticipated." I let out an awkward laugh.

"Y/N TOMIOKA AND GIYU TOMIOKA, NEW MISSION ALERT! HEAD WEST!" I saw my bird In my house, he somehow entered.

I looked over at Muichiro, "Well I guess I have to go..." I smiled and got up, but I felt a tug on my arm.

Before I could've realized what he had done, he embraced me in a hug, his grip was tight. "Be safe okay?"

I put on a calming smile and pat his back, "I won't Mui." 

We both walked out the door and parted our waves. I stayed put for a while waving him goodbye.

On my way to meet my brother, I saw the menace himself once more. It appeared that he dressed up the trio as his girls for his mission.

"I see you found new candidates Tengen-san?" I let out a laugh and stared at the monstrosity Tengen created. 

"Well...have fun being a girl I guess..." I walked past them and saw my brother waiting for me towards the front. 

"Hey Y/N...you ready to slay demons?" I nodded my head and let him lead the way.

So um I'm going on vacation on the 13th-20th so I'll post a chapter on the 12th, and after my vacation I'll post another one on the 23rd hopefully. Maybe I'll try to use my phone to create a story during the week but chances are low.

Thanks for all the votes and views~ hahaha
