Unneeded drama

°•°Shinobu POV°•°

Tomioka-san's not gay? Isn't he? He's supposed to be mine! I was supposed to make feel worthless by saying no one likes him and then I would say I like him! He'd have to stay with me since I would be the only one who 'likes him'.

(Yea I'm really making Shinobu the worst person ever. Sorry Shinobu fans. It's for the plot.)

Why does Rengoku have to butt in? He's a good person. He should to stay away from things that aren't his. (Melanie Martinez lol)
They both left the restaurant. Tomioka followed a request from Rengoku. Rengoku used Tomioka's first name. There's no other way. One things for certain, he will be mine.

∆At the water estate∆

°•°Kyojuro POV°•°

Me and Giyu arrived back at the Water Estate. Giyu quickly walked inside. He turned back to look at me.
"Please... never again." I nodded. I understood where he was coming from. He never goes to our hashira get-togethers and the one time he does come, chaos happens.
"Nothing like that will ever happen again. You have my word." I smiled and walked back to the Fire Estate.

∆The next day∆

°•°Giyu POV°•°

I woke up and went to the garden of the Water Estate. It was peaceful, like usual. Since no one usually came to the Water Estate, I had made the garden for animals to live peacefully. There were many trees, most with bird nests, koi ponds and fox, badger, rabbit and racoon burrows. I sighed. At least there was no drama here. Just me, the animals and the sounds of nature. That was, until I heard a knock at the front door and a familiar voice.
"Tomioka! Come out we know your there! It's very unflamboyant if you keep us waiting!" Uzui Tengen, the sound hashira. And, as usual, everyone else is with him. I sighed and walked over to the door. I stood there hesitantly, unsure if I actually wanted to let them in. In the end, I opened the door.
And there everyone was. The eight other hashira. "Would you like to come in, or are you just going to stand there?" I asked. They all walked in. Since no one apart from me and Kyojuro had been here, everyone was looking at the interior of the water estate for the first time. "Wow Tomioka-san, I didn't know you were so good a decorating!" Kocho chirped. "Eee! There's a garden! With bunnies!" Kanjori squealed. I walked over swiftly. "Kanjori, please do not make loud noises." She looked up at me and nodded. Kyojuro came out from the kitchen holding small bowls of feed. "This what you need Giyu?" I nodded and took the bowls off him. "Thank you, Kyojuro." I went outside. The rabbits looked over, acknowledging the presence of the others. I knelt down gently, placed the bowls down beside me and reached out to scoop up a rabbit. I sat down cross-legged, the rabbit nuzzling up to my chest.

°•°Mitsuri POV°•°

Tomioka can handle animals?! That's so cute! I bounded over to Tomioka and the bunny. Rengoku was sitting next to Tomioka, feeding the little bunny.
"Tomioka, can you teach me how to pick up the bunnies?" Tomioka nodded and looked over to the others.  "Who else wants to?" Everyone else came over, eager to touch the  little fluffballs. Even Shinagazuwa came over.

°•°Kyojuro POV°•°

We spent a couple hours with the rabbits. Everyone was surprised at how easily the rabbits swarmed around Giyu, but I guess it's because of his usual calm demeanor.
Kocho spoke to me. "Rengoku, do you mind if we talk? In private?" I nodded and we walked back inside.  She glared at me.
"Stay away from Tomioka-san." Who does she think she is?
"I think I won't thank you very much. You just want to manipulate him.
He's been through enough!"
She looked at me, surprised.
"And you know that because?"
"He told me. Everything. You don't help."
She smiled. "I think you'll find-"
I cut her off. "I think you'll find nothing you do helps him. He has been depressed before and you wouldn't help him with that."
Kocho froze. "Tomioka-san has had depression? Oh no. Now everyone will know. "Let's just go outside. And don't you dare do anything to Giyu." She nodded and we went out. We walked over to the others.
"What did you guys talk about?" Kanjori asked. "Probably nothing good." Iguro said.
I laughed nervously. "Hey Giyu. Feel like singing?" He looked at me and nodded slightly. He took a deep breath and let his gentle voice serenade us.

"I was listening to the ocean,
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
And it vanished away from my hands, dah~
I had I dream I was seven
Climbin' my in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waitin' in patience for me, dah~

And I was running far away,
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows~
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain~

But no, take me home
Home where I belong
I can't take it anymore~"

Giyu finished and looked at everyone.
"Wow Tomioka! Your so good at singing! I bet even the birds are jealous of you!" Kanjori clapped her hands happily.
"Your voice is very flamboyant!" Uzui laughed. "I guess it was good." Iguro mumbled. Shinagazuwa said the same. Kocho stayed silent. Himejima clapped.
"You are very talented Tomioka." Tokito was still stroking the rabbit. "It was calming. The rabbit seemed to like it." I wrapped my arm around Giyu. Kocho glared at me. I glared back. Nothings going to come between me and Giyu!
