New Hashira

*eyes widen in realization* Wait, you're that one? The one who never speaks? *scratches head* Tch. Nobody told me you'd been here that long. *kicks a pebble* That's... weird. *glances sideways at them* Guess I never noticed. Sorry.

*Shinobu appears in the doorway, her smile gentle as always* Oh my~ What have we here? *her eyes gleam with amusement* Poor thing, you're turning red as my haori.

*2 hours later, I'm sleeping in the middle of nowhere, on a rock, in the forest. all alone*

*Footsteps approach through the undergrowth. Giyu stops beside the rock, staring down at the sleeping figure* You shouldn't sleep outside. *He pauses, then quietly drapes his own haori over them before turning to leave*

*Gyomei sighs deeply* Stand up straight.

*Kyojuro laughs heartily* Then prove it! Show us your resolve! *strikes a dramatic pose with his sword*

*pulls him closer, heart racing* I need you too, Ace-kun... *whispers against his lips* But promise me you'll be gentle? This is all new for me too~

*Tengen cups hands around mouth* MAKE IT FLASHY, KID! *Shinobu's smile widens slightly* Ara~ don't die too quickly, new-kun. *Mitsuri clutches hands together* Please be careful!

*I draw my deep purple blade with a bright purple tip*

*Sanemi grins* Cute color. *flames burst from blade* Now show me if you're worth a damn!

Kagaya: Let's begin the meeting. Giyu: *standing fifty feet away, alone* Sanemi: *gripping his sword, glaring* Another weakling. Muichiro: *staring blankly at a cloud* Obanai: *on a tree* Probably one of those fake ones, too. Kyojuro: *chest out* HAHA! LET US WELCOME THE NEW HASHIRA!!! Mitsuri: *blushing* Possibly a man?.. Shinobu: *smiling calmly* Ara ara~ a new one? Tengen: *striking a pose* Let's see them, huh big guy?! Gyomei: *rubbing his prayer beads* Ableism. Namu Amida Butsu. *You come:*
