Giyu's pov
It was a few days before the mission, and quite unfortunately, Giyu was sent on a mission to fight two lower moons. He was mildly wounded so it wasn't something to fuss over and go to the Butterfly Estates for (well at least in his opinion they were mild wounds). But...Something made him want to visit the insect hashira. It was quite an odd feeling.
As the pillar made his way to the Estates, he spotted that odd boy from the meeting looking forward while slashing at pieces of wood. 'wait no...His eyes are closed he not even looking. well not surprising, but for a kid that old...'
"Hey... how is your training going?". This was Giyu's way of starting small talk. Though the kid seemed to not of heard his call to him. "Hey, can you hear me?."
The boy stopped Slashing at the wood stumps. and just opened his eyes and looked forward. "My...Training?...".
"Yes, aren't you training?". The boy's eyes became distant. a few minutes passed and he still hadn't answered.
'what is wrong with this boy?...maybe he can't hear very we-'
"I...Don't...Train...I don't...Do anything... How did...I get here?..."
'the boy was just training, how could he say he wasn't? never mind I'll just leave'
I made m way down the rest of the way to the butterfly estates, upon arriving I see Aoi and Kanao training. " Hello, Tomioka-san!"
I turned to once again gaze into those elegant purple eyes. "Hello Shinobu-san, I have come for some medicine". She beckoned for me to follow her to her office. " so what do you need Tomioka-san?"
"Just some ointment for some bruises I might get..". she nodded and went over to one of her cabinets to retrieve the medicine.
"her you go Tomioka-San". She handed me the medicine jar, but much to my dismay I winched and some blood dripped from my chest 'uh oh...I just broke my act'
"Tomioka-San are you hurt?". I looked away not answering her question "Tomioka-san answer me.". Her voice was soft but urgent.
"I assure you that I am okay.". her violet eyes bore into his like daggers
"take off your Haori and shirt". giyu looked at her dumbfounded
"Wha-".
"NOW". her voice was still soft but very demanding.
Giyu obliged and took off his Haori and his uniform shirt. " ", She pointed to a cushion on the floor. "Shinobu I'm fine it's just some-"
She covered his lips with her finger as she took off the bandages that he had put on himself. 'poorly wrapped' She removed the loose bandages and her mouth dropped open when she saw the wounds covering his chest. "how is this okay! You have several deep cuts and 3 broken ribs!". She looked up at me, the expression of anger filling her face that usually held a gentle smile. "Why do you care anyway? it's fine I can still fight, right? so it's nothing to worry about. Besides, you have other patients to worry about then me."
He went to get up when he felt a hand Smack the side of his face, on his left cheek. It left a red welt on his face. He was shocked.
He looked down at her. Her head hung low looking down at the floor.
"Why do I care?... Why do I care?..." she looked up at me tears filling up her violet eyes. 'What have I done'. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS TO SEE YOU IN PAIN. IT HURTS ME SO MUCH THAT I JUST CAN'T...DO YOU EVER WORRY ABOUT YOUR SELF?! DO YOU EVER WORRY ABOUT NOT HURTING YOUR SELF. WHY DO YOU FIGHT RECKLESSLY?! BEFORE YOU KNOW HOW OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU FEEL, HUH!? IF YOU WERE TO DIE I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FORGIVE MY SELF!"
Multiple thoughts ran through my head at once. I couldn't reply. My mouth hung open bobbing up and down like a fish gasping for water.
"I CARE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!". she stopped yelling and started sobbing. "I love you Tomioka-san...So much that when you get hurt my heart feels like it's being torn apart."
She wrapped her arms around my torso and pulled me close to her. "please don-"
I interrupted her with a kiss. It was slow and passionate. Her lips were so smooth, it was like he was put under a trance. Her eyes widening with surprise before she closed her eyes and accepted. She ran her hand through his jet black bangs as they explored each other's mouths. He pulled away, lifting her face up to meet her eyes "Shinobu I"m sorry... I didn't know you felt this way. I sorry I hurt you in such ways."
She pulled him in for another Kiss. "please don't Ever fight recklessly ever again. can you promise me that?." He nodded holding her close to him.
They sat there in silence before they were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Master there is somebody that wants to talk to you". "I'll Be out in a minute thank you Kanao-chan".
Her footsteps retreated back away from the door and down the hallway.
"you go to the main building and rest, I'll be back later, okay?". Giyu nodded before he watched as she made her way out of the room. "Shinobu wait!".
She turned around and looked at him with those elegant purple eyes once more. " is it okay if I rest here instead?". There was a moment of silence before she replied "I don't mind"
She then turned and left.
Tanjiro's pov
'time to train my body'
Tanjiro hummed to himself as he walked to his usual training spot to see that there was somebody already there. "Hey! I haven't seen you around here, want to train with me?"
"...Sure...".
'he has red eyes!? is he a demon...wait no he standing under the sun and there no scent that demons give off on him'
Tanjiro removed his Shirt and tied it around his waist. "okay you go first". Tanjiro gave him a smile as the boy nodded.
"Breath of time. Strike of the grandfather's clock" 'wait! Breath of time?!
The boy disappeared right in front of Tanjiro's eyes. he was to fast for Tanjiro's eyes to keep up. 'smell his blade smell his blade, my neck he's aiming for my neck!'
"Breath of the sun god. Heki-ra no ten, Blue Heaven!" I unleashed my vertical spin slash to block his sword.
The two blades clanged together as they fought. Tanjiro hopped back preparing his next attack, but he was too slow.
"Breath of Time. the cycle of the sun and moon" 'where did he go?', *sniff sniff* above!, wait below!? Think of a move that can counter his attack!'
"breath of the sun god. Shakkotsu En'yō Burning Sun!" *chink!* Two blades collided into Tanjiro Nichirin blade. 'two!?'
"breath of time. chain reaction..."
Tanjiro sense of smell wasn't working so good at the moment so he didn't have a choice but to jump behind a tree. But as he jumped behind it it was sliced in a two, before exploding into 12 pieces.
"breath of the sun god. Hirin Kagerō Solar Heat Haze!"
Breath of time. Day's final hour!"
They both ran at each other executing there attack. "Gaaah!" Tanjiro screamed letting all the power fill his body evenly.
But even that attack wasn't enough.
*CRACK!*
Tanjiro looked at his sword to see that it broke into three pieces.
The mysterious young boy stood behind him sliding his sword into his sheath. "when did I get here?.." he said looking forward.
Shizukana's pov
*years ago*
"Shizukana remember these moves they will come to great use to you one day."
The man handed him a paper that read as so:
Breath of time: Strike of the grandfather's clock
Breath of time: the cycle of the sun and moon
Breath of time: chain reaction
Breath of time: Timeless slash
Breath of time: aging burn
Breath of time: Endless gaze
Breath of time: sword of the lost hour
Breath of time: the strike of dawn
Breath of time: Dead man's Final Breath
Breath of time: Times final chime.
Breath of time:?
"remember these keep them in your heart, and let time slow down around you."
Shizukana was trained and train to learn the way of these moves except for the last one. The man Had always said this when Shizukana asked about it which was a lot since he could never remember if he had asked. " never use that move unless you really have to. Only use that form unless you ready to pass.".
The man would never tell him about the empty space with the question marks.
but the one thing that Shizukana would always remember were these words
"Only use that form unless you ready to pass"
