Warning: Ships you might not like

It was morning, already. It felt too early to wake up. But I knew I had to wake up.

I yawned. I was still very tired.

"Hmm? Oh hey Kanao! You're awake early!" I said. Kanao was standing in front of the door.

"Good morning Kanao!" I greeted. "..." She tossed a coin. 

"... Good morning Haru." She finally responded. I'm not a very patient person, so I don't like it when she tossed her coin. It takes too long.

"Oh, you two are already awake?" Mitsuri said, she was rubbing her eyes. "Yup! Kanao was up super early!" I shouted.

" I see! Let's get ready!" Mitsuri responded. We smiled and nodded.

(Ikashi Pov)

I woke up early. I still felt exhausted.

"Oh wow.. I'm up early." I muttered.

I got off my bed and looked at Finnikoshi. He was still snoozing...

Speaking of snoozing, let's see what's happening...

(In his dream)

(Third person Pov)

*Oh hey Finn!" Haru greeted Finnikoshi. They promised to meet each other here, a wonderful place.

The place they picked was a park with some trees and colorful flowers. There was no one there, just the two of them.

"Haru chan! I'm glad you could make it!" Finn greeted her. They hugged each other.

"So why did you call me here, Finn?" Haru asked, curiously. 'She's so cute omg-' Finn thought.

"Oh! There is something I wanna show you!" He answered. He blushed as he held Haru's soft and small hands.

"Really? Now that's a surprise!" Haru commented. Finnikoshi just smiled gently at her. Haru smiled at him too.

"Now, can you put this blind fold on?" He asked, with a black blind fold in his hands.

"Huh? Why do you want me to wear it?" Haru asked. "So that it would be a surprise, Haru chan!" Finn explained.

" And I can trust you, right?" Haru asked. " Of cource Haru chan!" Finnikoshi answered, excitingly.

" Alright, alright. Fine." Haru responded. She smiled, gently as she put the blind fold around her head.

"I will take you somewhere, ok?" Finnikoshi said. Haru nodded with a smile.

'She's so beautiful!' He thought as he brought her to a beautiful place.

"Alright!" He yelled as he got rid of the blind fold.

Haru gasped. She has never ever seen a view so beautiful before. There were many sunflowers and different types of roses everywhere!

"Wow! It's... Wonderful!" Haru commented. 

'Now is your chance, Finn!' He thought.

"Uhm, Haru chan." He said. "Yeah? What is it?" Haru replied, with sparkles in her eyes.

"I- I.. I like you Haru chan! You're so funny, pretty and smart! You're the nicest person I've ever met! And I like you, no, I love you!" He confessed.

Haru looked at him, surprised and blushing.

"A- and not just because you're pretty! You're also smart, nice, kind and strong! Your food is delicious!" He continued.

" You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen too! That's not a lie! I've always liked you, even when I first met you! You are the best person I've ever seen!" He screamed.

Haru chuckled a little.

"Oh Finn..." Haru mumbled. 

" I don't care if you don't like me back! I just wanted to say my feelings to you!" He continued yelling.

" I.. I love you! And I can never stop this feeling! So.. please. Don't laugh at me.." He muttered.

" You're really the girl of my dreams! You are perfect! Just like everyone else is, but... You're different to me! I never felt like this. When I meet you, my heart keeps pounding hard! I truly love you, Haru chan!" Finn said things that he would never say to anyone else.

Finnikoshi offered her a red rose. He meant those words for her, and he'll never ever take it back.

"I love you, Haru chan. I would appreciate it if you accept my true feelings to you!" He said.

" Finn I.." .

.......

" Wake up!" Someone said.

"Huh?" Finn mumbled.

Haru suddenly started to disappear.

"Heh?? Wait!" Finnikoshi screamed and tried to catch her, to only see...

"Wake up little cousin!" Ikashi yelled, making Finnikoshi awake.

"Huh?!?!" Finnikoshi yelled.

(Finnikoshi Pov)

" Heh?? What? Where's Haru chan??" I panicked. " We're you dreaming about Haru? What a loser." Ikashi teased.

" Hey!" I screamed.

" Now come on! We're leaving!" Ikashi shouted. " Huh?? Where??" I asked.

"To a restaurant, of course." He answered, coldly.

He walked away.

'To a restaurant?' I thought.

I got up and stretched a little. I jumped down to the floor and chose a nice Kimono.

The Kimono was a light shade of grey with black & white flower designs on the bottom.

'This is so pretty! I bet Haru chan gave him this.' I thought. And boy was I very much correct.

I brushed my hair and tied it in a high pony tail. I usually/always have it in a low ponytail. It's always nice to try a different style.

(Also, I don't think I said how they look like- I'll explain now.

Haru- Dark brown eyes, black back length hair, almost pale skin tone.

Ikashi: Hazel eyes, black short hair

Finnikoshi: Hazel eyes, brown hair(middle length), light skin tone

That's all! Sorry- )

I wore a black haori to top it off! It looked quite good. I liked it.

I walked to the dining area.

(Haru Pov)

I chose my og kimono to wear. I love it. I think it's very pretty. It was a tradition anyway.

I wore my og Haori too! I love this set of!

I brushed my hair. It had and still has a lot of knots so it hurt a little but it was barrable.

I tied my hair with my golden sun hair clip. I tied only half of my hair though, I find it pretty that way.

Kanao just chose her ordinary pink kimono. She always wear that. Well, I can't complain, I also always wear this Kimono.

Mitsuri chose the same one too. Their hairstyles were the exact same.

"Let's go guys!" Mitsuri yelled, dragging us out.

" I love restaurants!" I muttered.

Once we went to the dining area, we saw the others.

"Hi brother! And hi Finn!" I greeted them.

" Hey!" Brother greeted back. " H- Hi Haru chan.." Finn greeted me back too. Although he was blushing really, really hard.

"Hey! And no greetings for me??" Ikashi childishly yelled. I ignored him.

"Where's Tomioka San?" Mitsuri asked. "Hmm? Yeah, he isn't here.." Finn commented.

" Huh.. strange." I said. "Tch, he's probably in the bathroom or still sleeping or do." Brother said.

" Do you think so?" Mitsuri asked. " Probably." I commented.

(What actually happened (which I totally didn't make because I forgot about his existence) ):

(Flash back(might not be accurate))

(Third person Pov)

"Well, it's getting kinda late. Maybe we should sleep?" When Mitsuri suggested, Tomioka wanted to say that he's gonna leave, but..

"Good idea! Then..." 

... Haru just had to interrupt.

Tomioka knew they wouldn't listen so he just left. And no one noticed him leaving.

(End of Flash back)

(Finnikoshi Pov)

"But, it's a meeting! For all hashiras and tsugokus! So he will come!" Mitsuri yelled.

Haru chan nodded, angrily. I barely noticed that she muttered something, but I couldn't hear what she muttered.

(Haru Pov)

"God damnit Tomioka! Why do you have to be a hashira!" I muttered quietly.

" Well let's get going. We don't wanna be late, do we?" Brother said. Everyone agreed.

We all started running to the restaurant.

Once we got there, we saw the others through the window.

We rushed in.

"Hey, they are here!" Shinobu said. "Huh? Oh hi guys! You guys are just in time!" Rengoku yelled.

" Hello!" I yelled. " Is Tomioka there?" Brother asked. 

"Why do you care, Shinazugawa?" Uzui teased.

" I just- don't want to waste our time!" He screamed. He blushed a little.

" Yeah sure~" Shinobu teased. " I'm telling the truth!" Brother yelled.

" Just sit down. No need to be noisy." Obanai said. I nodded, quietly.

We all sat down.

"So Tomioka San isn't with you? Should we wait for him then?" Shinobu suggested. "Nah, we'll just lose our precious time." Uzui commented.

I nodded slowly and quietly.

"Yeah, I don't want to waste our time on him." Iguro commented. "Tch, then let's start chatting or whatever." Brother said.

" Guys, should we really start this meeting without him? I mean, he's a Hashira too!" Mitsuri muttered.

Silence came.

...

"I agree with Mitsuri San. He also has a right to participate." Shinobu commented. Almost everyone stared at her in a expression.

"... Whatever." Iguro said. 

"Of course he agreed! He's a simp for Mitsuri!' I thought. " Let's just sit down and wait then!" Rengoku shouted.

Everyone (almost) came in an agreement. So we all sat down. The Tsugokus sat on a table next to the Hashiras.

We just started chatting about non-important things. Master allowed us to eat while we discuss about demons and such.

I mean that's why he chose a restaurant-

About 10 to 20 minutes later, Tomioka finally came here.

"What took you so long?!" Brother yelled. "..." Tomioka didn't say anything. "Ugh, of course. He says silent." I mumbled loudly.

Tomioka seemed to have heard what I mumbled, but I didn't care at all. I rolled my eyes.

"We can start the meeting now!" Rengoku yelled. The Hashiras nodded in agreement.

(Finnikoshi Pov)

We, Tsugokus talked and talked about some things. Eventually, we talked about a specific theme.

"Why do you guys want to be a demon slayer?" Ikashi asked, which changed the whole mood.

"... Who wants to go first?" Haru chan asked, slightly annoyed.

...

"... Who?" 

...

"Uhm. I guess I'll go first?" Ikashi muttered.

...

" Ok..."

" Well, my family got killed by a demon. I hid. I was a little bit of a coward. It found me, but luckily Shinazugawa San killed it." Ikashi explained.

" That's rough, buddy." I commented. Haru chan nodded. Ikashi looked quite sad. Kanao chan stopped smiling.

"Uhm, who wants to go next?" Ikashi asked.

...

" I'll go..." Kanao chan mumbled.

"Me and my siblings were abused by our parents. I was sold, but Kanae nee-san and Shinobu nee-san saved me." She explained.

" O- Oh.." Haru commented. I couldn't even think about the pain she's been through.

"Well.. I guess I'm next?" Haru chan said. We slowly nodded.

" Well, we lived in a such a noisy place. So we basically moved to grandma and grandpa's place. And my sister was dumb enough to think that we hated her so she killed them. Then she stupidly became a demon so I fought her until I got unconscious. Sanemi killed it and brought me here." She explained like her past was boring and not tragic at all.

Although she explained her past like... That, I could see pain and sadness through her eyes.

"O- Oh, that must've been sad." I muttered. "Eh. It's ok, it's all in the past." Haru chan commented.

" I am next I think!" I said, rather cheerfully. I may have made the situation worse.

"So my family had this tradition so that every girl must become an Orian at the entertainment district and marry a strong samurai. But I was born as a boy so I was a disappointment to my parents. I had to become a samurai. I was forced to do harsh training. They even send me off to train somewhere! But thankfully, Mitsuri found me!" I explained.

" Oh.. thank God Mitsuri found you!" Haru chan said. I nodded. " That's rough." Ikashi commented.

"Oi brother, have you found a girl yet?" Haru chan suddenly asked. "Huh? What's with you and that question?" Ikashi yelled.

" I'm just a supportive younger sister!" Haru chan responded. " Ugh." Ikashi muttered.

"Have you?" I asked too. "Hey! Not you too!" Ikashi screamed. "Have you??" Haru chan and I asked, in sync.

" No! Now shut up!" He answered. " Aww, my brother really has no luck with the ladies." Haru chan teased.

" Hey! It's not like you're better! No one has ever loved you romantically and truly!" He yelled.

'... Except me..' I thought.

"Oi!!" Haru chan yelled back.

They argued. Again.

"Hah, typical siblings..." I muttered.

(Giyuu Pov)

(Before the Tsugokus conversation)

"It's nice to chat together!" Koch commented. Almost everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

I had the window sit at the corner. I didn't mind. I didn't want to get attention anyway. I sometimes just zoned off.

They all just discussed about the demons and such. They didn't talk to me. But Shinazugawa sometimes yelled at me for not saying anything. It was kinda annoying.

"Guys! We're pretty much done with our discussion. So should we talk about something else?" Kanroji suggested.

" Sure, Kanroji. Anything for you." Iguro simped as always. Pretty much everyone agreed so we just decided to talk about other things.

(Shinobu Pov)

Mitsuri decided to talk to me! I thought it would be a nice, friendly conversation, but..

"Shinobu chan! Do you have a thing to Tomioka San?" Mitsuri whispered. " H- Huh? Wh- what do you mean, Mitsuri?" I asked.

" Oh~ You're stuttering!" She teased. I blushed quite hard. " No! Of course not!" I almost yelled that out.

" Shinobu chan! I can tell that you do! I'm the love pillar!" Mitsuri yelled. "... Ok, maybe. But please, don't tell anyone else!" I whispered.

" I won't, don't worry!" She whispered back. I was very nervous and blushing a little bit. I really wished that she wouldn't tell anyone.

(Also, a lot of things might/will change. I'm sorry for not telling ya earlier!)

(Rengoku Pov)

(If I change Pov it means that we're going back to when Mitsuri said her first sentence or so for a while!)

"Oi, Rengoku!" Uzui called. "What's up, Uzui!" I yelled. "Let's talk about Flamboyant things like the food!" He said.

" That sounds interesting!" I yelled. " I know. The food looks Flamboyant! Do you Flamboyantly want a drink?" He asked.

" Sure! That'll be delicious!" I responded, loudly. He smiled in return.

"Uzui! Are your wives doing alright?!" I ask- yelled. "Yup! They're doing Flamboyant!" He answered.

" Speaking of my wives, they are super Flamboyant!" He commented while ordering a drink.

" I agree! They are indeed wonderful! You're lucky to have them!" I commented, loudly. " Yup! I sure am!" He responded.

The rest of our wonderful conversation went with him talking about his wives. I find it nice that he cares about them!

(Obanai Pov)

I ordered two drinks. One for Kanroji and one for me. I went to her but she was talking with Kocho so I didn't bother.

Instead, Shinazugawa came up to me with a blank look.

"Oi, Obanai! What are you doing??" He loudly asked. "I'm holding two drinks. I wanted to give one to Kanroji but.." I answered.

" Can I have that one?" He asked. " Sure. But take two of them. They are for c-" I was cut off by Shinazugawa giving one to Tomioka.

' Couples..' I continued in my mind. ' What is wrong with you, Shinazugawa? Those types of drinks are for couples! And you chose the worst option, Tomioka!' I scolded him in my mind.

Shinazugawa stared at me weirdly.

"Why do you have a disgusted look on your face?" He asked. "I uhm.. nothing." I muttered. 

We basically talked trash about Tomioka or talk about Mitsuri or so..

(Giyuu Pov)

The others started talking to each other. I just sat down and ordered a small cup of water. I think I saw Kanroji and Kocho looking at me every 20 seconds, but I didn't mind it.

I drank my cup of water. I didn't buy anything much expensive. I needed my money for other things.

Then suddenly, Shinazugawa slammed a drink on my part of the table. I was surprised. And I was even more surprised when I noticed..

..it was a couple drink..

I was surprised and I felt like I was blushing.

' He.. gave me a couple drink? And I'm sure he was holding the other one! Don't think about it, he probably didn't know that.' I thought.

(Shinobu Pov)

(Present time)

' Why is Tomioka San blushing?' I thought. I looked around him and saw a couple drink.

' Eh? A couple drink? Did he buy it for himself? No, a couple drink comes with two cups! Then who has the other cup?' I thought.

I looked around and I didn't see the other cup. ' I guess the waiter gave him a solo one.' I thought.

(Third person Pov)

Shinobu continued to talk with Mitsuri and ordered some dessert for both of them. They talked about how to get Giyuu's attention quietly.

But little did Shinobu know, the other cup did exist. Thank God Sanemi drank the other cup quickly or Shinobu would've been so sad.

Sanemi is a fast drinker, just like Haru.

(Muichiro Pov)

(Back in time)

The meeting was finally over. I wanted to be alone but Himejima talked to me.

"So, Tokito. How are you doing?" He asked. "Fine." I answered. "The weather today seems quite nice. Is the sky blue?" He asked, again.

" Yeah. Pretty much." I responded. " I see." He replied.

" Would you like something to drink? How about milk?" He suggested. " Sure." I responded. He ordered a cup of milk and water.

I blankly looked at the sky while drinking milk. "What was that cloud called again?" I mumbled. 

(Kanao Pov)

(Back at their conversation)

After a while, they stopped arguing.

"Hey guys, wanna drink? I'll pay!" Ikashi suggested. "You're paying? Then sure!" Haru chan yelled. 

"... Sure." I agreed. " That sounds wonderful!" Finnikoshi Kun commented. I heard and saw Ikashi chuckling. I wondered why, but let it slide.

(Third person Pov)

Little did they know, Ikashi was planning to..

(Guess! (If you want))

A: Show off to the Hashiras/Tsugokus

B: Try to get a girlfriend

C: Try to make the ship (Haru x Finnikoshi) sale

D: Do the opposite of C

And the answer is...

B!!!!!!!

...

Yes, B.

He wanted a girlfriend.

Seriously?

I can't even believe it. (Lies)

(Finnikoshi Pov)

Ikashi suddenly suggested for us to get a drink. And he's paying! I got quite excited. I'm not that much of a foodie, but I do love food.

But do you know what I love more?

Drinks! Duh-  What did you expect?

So I asked for a cup of strawberry drink. Haru chan asked for a plate of fruit Mochi's and Kanao asked for lemon juice.

Soon, the waiter came to us.

"What'll you guys like?" He asked. "Uhm we would like a cup of strawberry drink, a plate of fruit Mochi's, a cup of lemon juice and a plate of dumplings, please." Ikashi said.

" That'll be coming up in about 25 minutes!" The waiter informed. He walked away. 

"Damnit! It wasn't a girl.." Ikashi complained. "Wait, were you trying to flirt with a waitress??" Haru chan asked. Ikashi slowly nodded.

"Pfft, you're really hopeless. Trying to flirt with a waitress." Haru chan teased. "Hey! At least I'm trying!" Ikashi yelled. Haru chan rolled her eyes. 

"I'm not trying to make a random person fall for me or anything. I need to get to know about him more." Haru chan explained.

" Oh~ So you do have someone in mind?" Ikashi (tried to) teased. " And what if I do? What are you gonna do about it?" Haru boldly responded.

" I- uhm-" Ikashi panicked. Haru chan chuckled loudly. I chuckled a bit too.

"How many minutes do we have again?" I asked. "Erm- about 18 minutes." Haru chan answered. "Thanks!" I said. She smiled in return.

(That's all for this chapter! I would like to right more, but I don't think I can right that much in a chapter-)

Taisho secret:

Ikashi: Well, I guess I'm gonna be here often.

Ikashi: It's time for a Taisho secret! 

Ikashi: In Finnikoshi's dream, Haru acted the same and didn't just accept his feelings, because Finnikoshi liked her the way she was and he didn't want to make her say yes. How sweet!

Finnikoshi: Hey! Don't say it like that!

Ikashi: Whatever little cousin

Ikashi & Finnikoshi: *Fighting and arguing*

Haru: Well, I've 0 idea what today's Taisho secret was, but I'm sure it was a nice one!

Haru: Good bye! Have a nice dream Tonight!
