Everything. I remember it all, gasping for breath at 3 something in the morning has just become normal for me, i wish my pain would wash away.. but it won't anyway think so hard over nothing won't do me any good, "Let today be a good day.." i tell my self that everyday it makes me feel better about waking up. I got up took a shower got dressed, stared at my kimono and cried, as much as i wished it relived my pain.. looking at it brings those devastating memories back, but at least I'll never forget them.

"Tomioka-san~! You know you over sleep right~? this is your third time~!" Kocho was poking me, "Tomioka~! Answer me~!" She continued to poke, "Wha.." i was going to say something, but I couldn't i felt a lump in my thoat.. "Tomioka~! this is exactly why no one likes you~! always so distant ~!" I'm not distant.. am I..? I stared at her, deep in thought though i was brought back by the twin letting us know Master had arrived. I zoned out for awhile until my name was called, i looked at him, "you'll be going on a mission to [whatever Giyu village name is] and Shinobu will be accompanying you"

My heart stopped... finally that lump in my throat left like it never existed, "sorry Master but, i must refuse." Senemi was admittedly on my head, holding me by my collar, "YOU ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT! JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO MASTER THAT WAY?!" I just stared at him, "you spitted..on my face.." i felt like i was going to throw up.. just another thing to make me remember that horrid place."Thats quite enough." Master told senemi guessing he wanted him to let me down. Anyway I wiped my face off, "TCH!" i flew to the ground with a thud, "ow.." i looked back at the master, "i understand that is your past village, in which it will help defeat the demon quicker."

after a long deafening silence.

"No"

"YOU BASTARD I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

rengoku and Tengan held him back, while The master stared at me, "Tomioka, it'll be quick." I stared, and stared. "Plus~! I'll be there~! I'm very fast you know ~! don't tell me you don't believe in my speed~?" My gaze shifted to Kocho, "OF COURSE HE DOUBTS YOUR SPEED!! HE JUST THINK HE IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN US!!" I don't think that.. if anything you guys are extremely amazing. is what i would've said if that lump didn't appear in my throat again. "Fine, I'll do it." Kocho smiled and so did master, even though only one of those were genuine.

At Giyu's home town!

this is straight up bullishit. i had to change my kimono and cover my hair and WEAR A MASK. just so I wouldn't be recognized. "Ara Ara~! Tomi-" I slapped my hand over her mouth, I didn't know how sweaty i was getting till a drop of sweat fell in my eye. "Don't say my name at all, call me Hazuki till we are done with this mission." Kocho looked surprised but nodded, i hope she doesn't make a slip up, who knows what they'll do to me for escaping now that i am older. My first punishment was horrid.. Anyway enough about that,

we continued to walk and i lead us to a inn to stay at for 1 week. "We might be here awhile." i looked at Kocho who looked like they were in deep thought, wow I didn't know she could think. "Why can't i say your real name?" "..." i didn't respond, What could i say? "oh the town folk thought i was mentally ill because i said that a demon killed my sister but they didn't believe me so they sent me to my uncle and he locked me up and i escaped 5 months later." obviously not. "Tomioka~" i stared at her "Don't." i looked at her "To~! mi~! oka~!" i heard footsteps, slowed breathing, They were spying. i opened the door quickly abd grabbed whoever was out there and dragged them in, Shinobu stated in surprise, "To- Hazuki-san.. what are you doi-" Crack goes the sound of his neck, only thing i felt was fear, who knows what would have happened if he told that man..? Kocho stared at me shocked, "Wh-why did you do that?! He is a human not a demon what was the point?!" i looked at her with a pissed expression, "If you had listened to me in the first place this wouldn't have happened!" Kocho looked angry but at this point i don't care, "Will maybe if you told me WHY i would have taken you seriously!" i gritted my teeth, "do you ever think thats something i don't wanna share? have you ever considered-..." I shut my mouth and regained my composure, "nevermind. Help me get rid of the body." She said nothing and we both hid the body,

During the battle (look i ain't finna write all that extra shit- )

Kocho was struggling to attack the demon, I was landing hits but he regenerated incredibly fast, I landed on a nearby tree. "KOCHO! COME HERE!" She came over to me and followed as we moved to a further spot, "I'll distract. you use your poison." Kocho shook her head, "i think its better if i distracted it~! and you cut its head off! its a bit faster~!" i didn't complain and just nodded, we went on with the plan it worked!

of course not without me getting injured. it used it's demon art on me... we don't know the effects but its fine, i don't feel any different.

(pov switch!)

i still can't keep my mind off what Tomioka did at the village, why was he so terrified?

best not to ponder on it for now, "Tomioka-san~! I saw that demon attack you~! it looked like it l-" Tomioka fainted and fell forward, no i didn't catch him. sorry not sorry~! anyway it was a real hassle getting him back, but for some reason he got lighter and lighter the more i walked, i paides not attention to it and continued, "Stupid Tomioka-!"

BACK AT THE WHAT EVER U CALL IT PLACE FOR HASHRIAS.!!!

HOLY FUCKING WISTERIA!!!!

is this child Tomioka!?!?!?

what happened - how? when? oh wait thats why he got lighter on my back! thats solves one question! so its a demon blood art! thats what it hit him with, "i should inform Oyakata-sama.."

!Oyakata-sama called a meeting with all the hashria thanks to Kocho note!

"The master has arrived"

"Hello everyone, i have some interesting information about Tomioka."

"Oh my! i wonder what's happened to him!"

"i couldn't care less about that egoist!"

"what did he do now?"

"i pray nothing bad has happened, Namu, Amida Butsu"

"Who is he? oh wait .. is he that o- what was i just saying?"

'This will be a hassle taking care of him'

"I Hope My Dear Comrade Get better soon!"

"I hope what ever happened, made him more flamboyant!"

The master put a single finger to his mouth,

"thank you, now back to the topic, nothing extremely bad has happened, but it seems he was turned back into his younger self."

all the hashria screamed, except Shinobu and Muichiro.

"WHAT?"

"Hm?"

"I'll be sending a note to his sensei, seeing if he can help take care of him till he gets better."

with shinobu, oh no he woke up-

i walked into the room with Tomioka to find him in the corner, franticly breathing and looking around, "Ara Are~! you are quite frightened.." he looked at me, i saw something shine in his had.. my scalpel? what in the world was he- he got up quick and charged at me, completely silent, if i didn't see him when i did..i would have been another Gyomei.. only in one eye though!

"Calm down~!" "W-what do you want with me?! where am i.. Where's Urokodaki-san?!"

So many questions.. "One I want nothing to do with you~! Two you are at my estate~! and Three he should be arriving soon~!"

the door opened and Aoi came in, "oh Shinobu-sama who is he?" i looked at her "This is Tomioka-san!"

"Who is he? oh wait .. is he that o- what was i just saying?"

I Chuckled at her reaction,

Sorry sorry- two chapters in a short amount of time? yeah i will admit i rushed a bit, i have so many ideas! i won't spoil but I'll try and update lots more chapters! maybe two a day? actually no most likely depending on how my life goes if i have free times, anyway THANKS FOR READING
