he hated how she talked he hated how nice she was to everyone he hated how much of an air head she was he hated her voice he hated the way her lips moved when she talked he hated the way her eyes lit up when she saw him he hated the way her hair drifted in the wind he hated…
i do not feel like being here at all. he thought to himself.the hashira had been called to the ubauashiki mansion to find out which kinoe would be chosen to become the next hashira.
the last lightning hashira had passed after attempting to take down upper moon 3. he was a well respected individual and sanemi was saddened to find out that he had been killed, that's just what it's like being a hashira sanemi thought to himself.
even though being a hashira is a highly respected and well paying job, the mortality rate is extremely high most hashira don't make it past their 30’s and only 1 out of 9 hashira get to retire.
all of the hashira were kneeled in front of the main area were ubayashiki usually announced and informed the hashira. he could still smell the fresh rain in the air from last night. sanemi respected ubayashiki but he disliked how he made them kneel on the grass because the grass is always wet during the rainy season so whenever he has to kneel it usually leaves his knees damp.
the group were all discussing who could be the next hashira could be. they were sharing their best guesses and who they wanted to be chosen.”i'm pretty sure it could be your younger sister Kanae san”. rengoku shared loudly with them in his usual tone.
sanemi didn’t bother joining the other hashiras conversations he disliked most of them they usually got on his nerves but he still showed respect to them (against his will).
”i agree, she's a talented slayer and has a good future ahead of her she would be a great choice for the next hashira you trained her well kanae ”.giyomei replied. Kanae smiled at them and put her nape."You guys are too kind”. she said humbly.”but i would be proud of her if she became a hashira she definitely deserves it.”
sanemi rolled his eyes at their sappy compliments and just wanted to get this over with so he could go back to his mansion.”hey sanemi you haven't been talking that much who do you think could be the next hashira?” tengen boisterously said. all of the hashira looked at him and sanemi let out an internal sigh. he thought about the question for a few seconds and started to talk .”well i guess a guess a good choice would be-.”
sanemi was cut short when the doors to the mansion were suddenly opened by a kakushi that quickly scurried to the side to let ubayashiki gracefully walk through.all of the hashira quickly fell silent and looked at ubayashiki. the sakura leaves drifted gracefully through the air as ubayashiki slowly made his way to the front to sit down
his condition wasn’t getting any better actually it was getting worse. the last time he saw him a few months ago the curse was only up to his right eye but now it completely engulfed the other eye. he also looked more tired, more sick, more dead.
“i have gathered you all here today to announce the new piller. it is truely a shame that raiden has passed he was a wonderful slayer and comrade but throughout the seasons new flowers shall bloom to take the places of the old ones.” he announced.
ubayashiki had to be the only person in the world that sanemi could bow to nobody else even came close. he will always follow what he says without a doubt and would never go against his word.
the kakushi timidly walked from her spot towards to the door and opened it “now i announce mitsuri kanroji as the new love piller”!
ubayashiki exclaimed and gestured towards the door but nobody came out.
the hashira looked around in confusion and ubuyashiki waited for a bit and then asked the kakushi if something happened to her but she didn’t know what was going on
“so when the hell is she coming did she just leave?” he snarled in annoyance “it’s alright sanemi i bet she just got caught up in something.” he said with a soft smile.
“IM HERE!!” a high pitched voice yelled form the hallway suddenly a girl with bright pink hair fading into green was stopped at the door holding it and catching her breath.
“ah mitsuri what happened?” ubuyashiki asked with a slight hint of shock. “IM SO SORRY! their was this lady and she needed some help…..”her voice faded into the distance all sanemi could think was why HER of all people to become the new hashira?
