Chapter Ten- Eyes like rubies.
Shizukana's pov
Time...The thing that keeps everything balanced. Time keeps everything...In check...Time...
"Isn't he just beautiful?." A man sat next to a woman lying on a futon holding a cute little baby boy with dark black hair and Red Eyes." what shall we call him Mizu?". they sat in silence before the man spoke up."Shizukana Shisen, Because of his silent gaze". The women held the child close to her promising that both of them would never let him go...
I grew up having a normal life in a normal village, my family were just normal wood smiths creating your everyday needs. We weren't very wealthy but we made do with what we had. I grew up not talking very often. I would often find myself staring at walls never knowing why I was there. "Shizukana are you okay?" they would ask me I never had a response.
The kids at school hated me...They feared me for no reason. "Everybody welcome to your first year of Shōgakkō" (A/N-elementary school in English.) "we will start by introducing your selves amongst your classmates."
Everybody moves around and began to introduce, But I did not move. I simply just stared ahead at the wall not even acknowledging the people trying to talk to me. "hello, hello!" they would say but I wouldn't hear them.
'What is so important in telling other people my name?' he looked up at the girl who was yelling to get my attention "finally you've acknowledged me, my name i-". "Go... away there's... no need to... talk to me."
I went back to looking at the wall.
'they hate me, the fear me...but why?'
I remember a day where I sat outside thinking to myself until a kid threw a rock at my head, I could feel the blood trickle down the side of my head. 'But why bother to look at the culprit?'
All the children looked at me surprised how I had not reacted to such a blow to the head.

"he's a monster you hear? stay away from him, just look at those red eyes.
"I heard that he can't feel anything."
That was true... I cannot feel anything, I could not feel pain, I could not feel love. I only felt...nothing.
Until that night
I was in my room doing nothing but staring at the ceiling. There were a loud crash and a scream coming from the living room area. I should've been scared, or at least curious, enough to go investigate. But I didn't. I just sat there not having a care in the world about what was going on around me. Until there was an arm wrapped around my body and my face was lifted up to reveal my mother's face. " Shizukana listen to me, You have to run far away! go get away from here and don't look back."
But... I didn't listen I just sat there and looked at her face, My mind still in the clouds of thought
'What is she saying? should I be listening? should I do as she says if I listen?'
The door that she had closed was knocked down to reveal a man. His face was a pale yellow and he had odd silver hair with red at the top along with black drip marks below it.
He also had a redshirt on with a Black cape. But what stood out to me the most was his eyes. They were rainbow-colored.
Never in my life have I ever been so fond of something other than my thought's
"Run...Please..." she pleaded, but I didn't hear her, those eyes they were so beautiful but still held the look of evil.
Before I knew it my mother's lifeless body was on the ground, blood pooled underneath her body. Those eyes, his smile.. the blood that splattered on my body. the blood dripping on the floor creating a constant patterned drip. " Hmm, Why aren't you afraid, why aren't you screaming or crying right now? I just murdered your mother and father"
I ignored him and continued to look into those eyes. There was something in them I couldn't remove my eyes of there gaze.
My hands moved towards his face "your...eyes...so...beutiful..." he didn't even move his body as my hands touched his skin.
something inside me flared to life something...that filled me with a strange feeling a feeling that made me want to kill to gouge out those rainbow-colored eyes.

'nobody...left... I'm alone' i walked along the side of the road drench in blood and sweat wounds littered my body from the many nights outside without shelter. I was alone still feared as I walked the streets gaining an odd face from the other people.
'Why couldn't I be normal? why couldn't I just live without feeling anything?...why can't I just think forever"
"Hey, kid are you okay? Are you lost?". A man ran up to me and looked over my disgusting form. "how long have you been out here?". No reply "are you hungry?" no response. I looked up at the man to see that he had yellow hair and a nice smile, but that didn't matter. He had a weird marking on his forehead.
Two years later
"hold your stance and grip the hilt of your blade. Breath in...Breath out..."
"Follow my every step...". The man Shifted his feet apart then he gripped the hilt of his sword. I followed 'what is the point of doing this again?...' "time breathing. First chime Strick of the grandfather clock..."
the air around him shifted as the hilt of his blade came to halt halfway out of his sheath. 'why am i...doing this again?...there's that odd feeling again'
One second he was there then the next he wasn't. " young man utilize your mind to alter time..create a ripple and use it to your ability. When your mind is clear enough you can do anything"
'but why...am doing this?...when did I get here?
*present day*
the cool air ruffled the leaves of the trees outside the Butterfly estates as a very familiar boy walked along the corridor. Ready to Start his training today 'i can' wait to learn this new technique it will help me boost my stamina and my lung capacity.'
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"come in." I walked in and greeted Shinobu-san "good morning Shinobu-san!". I bowed down before lifting my head back up to see her usually smile. "come, sit down next to me so we can start your training".
I obliged and sat next to her. "today we will begin your lung capacity enlargement" I nodded. "first I want you to breath in and out slowly .." I closed my eyes And breathed in and out slowly.
(meanwhile, they were training a certain somebody was talking to his newly adopted son)
Giyu's pov
"you have to train harder..."
"I already do..."
"then why do you fail your missions?"
"I don't always fail it was one time"
"still you let the demon get away, it's still out there killing people"
"I'm leaving Otōsan"
"do not call me that...Just call me giyu"
"okay Otō-i mean Giyu"
"I'm going to train"
"be back before dinner"
"I will. Also Father I overheard somebody say that you have no friends. Why is that?"
Giyu's left eye twitched
"I Have friends..."
"Like who, you never talk to anyone except for me and Shinobu-san, and that Tanjiro boy"
"will you just go already?..."
they young boy left giyu alone
(A/N-this is a very awkward conversation isn't it?)
