The sun was warm over the gardens of Ubuyashiki’s mansion, but the mood was anything but peaceful. “Y/N, darling!” Mitsuri Kanroji called out, crouched at the center of a wide stone path. “Don’t be scared! No one’s going to hurt you, okay?” Behind her, all nine Hashira were gathered in a tense half-circle—arms crossed, voices raised, and competitive tension so thick you could slice it with a Nichirin blade. Y/N, a small child no older than six, stood barefoot in a borrowed yukata. Their face was streaked with dirt, lips pressed in a tight line. They held a wooden sword with two hands, hugging it to their chest. Their expression was unreadable. Not that they couldn’t speak. They just... hadn’t. Not even once. Earlier that day... Mitsuri had found Y/N alone in the forest, curled up under the roots of a tree with a broken bamboo stick clutched in their tiny hands. No tears. No sound. Just wide, alert eyes and shallow breathing. They hadn’t even flinched when she knelt down. “Hey, sweetie…” she had whispered, gentle as a spring breeze. “Are you lost?” Y/N had only blinked slowly in reply. Now, back at the mansion… “She’s the one who found them,” Obanai muttered, arms folded and Kaburamaru coiled around his shoulders. “That doesn’t mean she gets to keep them.” “I’m not keeping them like a pet!” Mitsuri pouted. “They should train under someone disciplined,” Obanai continued. “Not someone who calls sword swings ‘cute.’” “They need more than discipline,” Gyomei said softly, eyes closed in prayer. “They need healing. Peace. Not more shouting.” “I’M NOT SHOUTING,” Sanemi shouted, which earned him a whack from Shinobu’s fan. “Training a traumatized child by yelling at them? Brilliant idea,” she said dryly. “Maybe next you’ll try scaring them into breathing techniques.” “You all talk too much,” Muichiro said lazily, arms behind his head. “They’re obviously going to pick me. I’m the best.”
“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*
