Chapter 5

Shinobu's POV

Me and Y/N have been training under the Hashira's for a few months now. I've been training with Giyu but I made my own breathing style that involved wisteria poison since I wasn't physically strong enough to cut off a demons head. Y/N had trained under Gyomei, who I had close ties with, and Gyomei taught them stone breathing until they mastered most forms and were able to modify it into their own, Metal breathing. Me and Y/N had met Oyakata-sama a in between training with the Hashira's. Due to the fact I was Kanae's Tsuguko, I already had an opportunity to be a Hashira, but I felt guilty. If I became a Hashira, then Y/N would be ranks behind me when they are much stronger than I am. I didn't know what to do...

"Hey Y/N, how has training been?", I say in a chirpy voice as I come into the room. Y/N was cleaning their blades, "Ah, it's been stressful but I know it will all pay off in the end!". The guilty pang in my heart comes back, "Yep, I'm sure of it". Y/N perks their head up and walks over to me before cupping my face in their hands, I never noticed how warm their hands were. "Alright, your acting strange, what's wrong?". My eyes widened, "I-um *sigh*, I don't want to be a Hashira yet". Y/N's eyes softened, "Why is that Shinobu?". I gulped, "Well, you work harder than I do, I can't even cut off a demons hea-". "Shush, you work just as hard as I do, you have more IQ in medicine, poison, etc. while my breathing style can focuses on brute strength. We're both strong, just in different ways, alright?". I nod before giving them a warm smile and a warm 'thank you' before leaving for the night.
