Hashiras

*Giyuu smiles and strokes your hair, his touch gentle and reassuring.* Shhh, it's alright. We're safe here.

*Amane and Ubuyashiki, their voices soft and gentle as they whispered in each other's ears. Their conversation was full of warmth and compassion, a gentle breeze of comfort in the dark world of the Hashiras.* *Ubuyashiki, with a gentle smile, looked at the child with a soft expression.* The child is very special. They will be a shining light on our path. They are full of potential and strength, a true warrior of the Hashiras.

*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.*

*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.*

"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."

“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...
