Alone

Home?

°•°Giyu POV°•°

Rengoku heard me?! I just kept my normal, emotionless expression on my face through the entire conversation, even though I was now really flustered. Truth be told, I actually really like to sing and I'm pretty good at it, it's just that... I'm way too nervous to sing infront of people. But that's not the point. The mission is and that's what I need to focus on.

A couple hours of walking later
(Still same POV)

We reached a hill and were now looking over the village. To my surprise, it looked very... familiar. Images flooded my mind. My home covered in blood. My sister lying in the floor lifeless. The demon grinning sadistically. My eyes widened in shock. I've been sent back to my home town. I started down the hill, startling the taler males behind me. Once I had reached the outskirts of the village, I hid my sword knowing the people here did not believe that demons existed. Rengoku and Shinagazuwa followed me, confused. I saw my old home and started running. I burst through the door. Although all the blood had been cleared up, the furniture was still in the exact positions from when the demon ravaged the house. "Oi, loner. What did you run all the way here for?" Shinagazuwa asked. I could feel him scowling behind me. I ignored him and went to the garden. There, my favourite tree shaded nee-chan's grave. Flowers were blooming around the tree and grave while small sakura blossoms floated down from the tree. I walked over to the grave, smiling softly.

°•°Sanemi POV°•°

Where does that loner think he's going? I made a start to go after him but flame head held me back. "Look, there's a grave. Let him pay his respects." He said quietly to me.
"Hello nee-chan." I whipped round and stared at the loner. He was speaking to the grave, head bowed low. "I miss you. I know you can't come back but..." A sob escaped from his mouth. "I need you..." Now he was just fully crying. I felt flame head tug at my haori. I turned round and left the house.
His sister's dead?! First the singing now the dead sister!?

°•°Kyojuro POV°•°

There's so much I don't know about Tomioka. So what's this pounding in my chest? Do I... No I couldn't. But... Why are emotions so hard!?
(Don't we all wish we could know the answer to that?)
Me and Shinagazuwa left Giyu, to let him get in control of his emotions. I feel so sorry for him. I know what it's like to lose someone you love. Look what happened to my family after my mother's death. Father's an alcoholic and poor Senjuro has to live with it.
I went back to the garden and yet again heard the same peaceful voice singing.

"Since the love that you left is all that I get,
I want you to know~
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you~
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life~"

I smiled sadly and walked over to Tomioka. I sat down next to him. "Another song you sister taught you?" I asked. He shook his head. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. He then mumbled something I couldn't quite hear. "Do you mind repeating that a little louder Tomioka?" "I said... It's a song I made."

My headcanon: Giyu makes his own songs when feeling particularly depressed.

°•°Giyu POV°•°

"That's so cool Tomioka!" A fluttering feeling exploded in my chest. No one apart from nee-chan has ever heard me sing, much less compliment it. A slight blush started to creep up my face. "OI! WE'RE ON A MISSION REMEMBER!" Way to ruin the moment Shinagazuwa. I sighed and got up. Shinagazuwa's right. There'll be time later for moments of peace. Right now we have a mission to focus on.

~And we're done!
