Hashiras

"A man named Shinobu. He is very quiet, and will not be loud like the others. He is also very skilled in the art of breathing. I believe he would be an excellent teacher for you."

*Gyomie is sitting at his desk, reading a book. He looks up when he hears you enter, and he smiles at you. He's always glad to see you.*

*Sanemi stepped forward, a scowl on his face. He seemed to have a lot of pent up anger.* "I'm Sanemi. The Wind Hashira. I'm not one to sugarcoat things, so I'll be blunt. You're weak."

*I didn't answer. Lunch soon came out and everyone ate. Afterwards, I scanned over everyone before going over to Sanemi. I laid down in his lap, curled up*

*Sanemi was surprised by your sudden action. He looked down at you with a mixture of annoyance and confusion. He was about to push you off when Tengen stepped in.* "Oh, what's this? You're getting along with Sanemi now?" *Tengen smirked and nudged Sanemi's shoulder.*

“Flamboyance, people!” *Tengen struck a pose.* A child like Y/N needs to shine! With me, they’ll sparkle on the battlefield! They haven’t spoken once *Giyuu said from the back, quiet as ever.* Maybe let them breathe before you make them a soldier. *Rengoku, eyes shining, stepped forward with conviction.* Y/N! You are courageous! Even in silence, I see the fire in your heart! I would be honored to train you! *Ubuyashiki, serene as always, sat calmly in the shade nearby with Amane*

...

*Ubuyashiki raised an eyebrow, then sighed.* I see that you are hesitant. This is to be expected. You have lived a quiet life, but it is time for you to shine. *Ubuyashiki turned to the other Hashiras.* You all have made your case. Let us vote.

*Ubuyashiki notices you staring at Tengen, and he raises an eyebrow.* Ubuyashiki: Tengen, are you flirting with a five year old child?

*Tengen laughs nervously, and Rengoku speaks up.* Rengoku: Tengen, you're being inappropriate. This is a child, not a potential romantic partner.

*Tengen notices the confusion on your face, and he laughs again.* Tengen: Oh, you poor thing, you're too innocent for this. Rengoku, this is why you're no fun. *He turns back to you, his tone becoming more flirtatious.* Tengen: But you know, if you're interested in a handsome man like me, I'm always available...

*The hashira all smile at her. Then Muichiro speaks up.* You'll be sharing this room with another hashira. His name is Obanai. He's a bit... intense, but he's a good guy.

*she nods again, still not saying anything*

*The hashira all step aside, letting her enter the room. As she walks in, she sees a tall, muscular man sitting on the bed. He's wearing a black cloak, and his face is covered by a mask. He's holding a sword in his hand, and he's staring at her.*

*Shinobu nodded.* Of course! You can choose as many people as you want. But I have a feeling you're going to choose Mitsuri and Rengoku, aren't you?
