『3rd Person』
.•.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.••..•.•.•.•.••..•.•.••.•.•.

A knock was heard from outside the shoji door of the small cabin Urokodaki owned, which made the students look over towards the sound in confusion.

"Makomo, what did you do?" Sabito sternly questions as he looked at the said latter out of the corner of his eye. Makomo frowned at Sabito question, feeling offended that he would think she did something. "I didn't do anything!" Makomo replied, pouting at up at Sabito. "If anything, I bet you did something!" Makomo exclaims as she pointed her index finger in Sabito face, which in response for him to lean back with a frown of his own as well. "No i didn't!" Sabito retaliates, glaring down at the pale little girl in front of him as he got the same look right back.

Both of them looked over towards the raven haired boy, the sudden attention on him made him flinch a little.

"I..I didn't do anything..." Giyuu mumbled, but loud enough for both of the duo to hear. Before any of them could speak up, another knock was heard. The three of them looked over towards the door once again, Sabito soon realized that they all were too busy arguing and didn't open the shoji door for the person who was behind it.

Sabito walked over and halted right in front of the shoji door, feeling very embarrassed that he didn't open the shoji door and just instead argued with Makomo.

Sliding the shoji door open, his eyes widening after the shoji door was slid open all the way. The other two eyes widen, Giyuu mouth agape in shock. The familiar kitsune mask covered the face of the familiar person Makomo and Urokodaki knows, stood right in front of Sabito. "(Y/n)?!" Makomo blurted out, her voice having a little hint of joy in it.

The said latter turned their head towards Makomo, watching how Makomo came running up to them and hugging their leg with a wide smile on her face.

"What are you doing here? You're earlier than usual.." Sabito questions (Y/n) as he crosses his arms. (Y/n) turned their head from Makomo to Sabito, they stared at Sabito as silence soon dawned upon the four of them. Sabito was about to speak up before (Y/n) started looking around all of a sudden. (Y/n) gaze landed on a wooden sword before pointing at it, the three students eyes followed where (Y/n) was pointing.

Three wooden swords sat there leaning against the wall. "You wanna train with us?!" Makomo exclaimed as she looked up at (Y/n) flabbergasted, but her aqua eyes sparkled with excitement. Giyuu grinned a little at the thought of training with somebody new, especially when it was (Y/n). Sabito looked surprised, not really expecting (Y/n) wanting to train with them. But after a few seconds, he smirked before grabbing three of the wooden swords and handing one to Giyuu, Makomo. Sabito handed (Y/n) the last wooden sword, only for them to shake their head. Sabito tilted his head to the side, confused at the rejection. (Y/n) showed their bandaged hands, which for some reason, seemed a bit small to the trio. But they dismissed that, trying to guess what the masked person was trying to tell them. "You're...hurt?" Sabito questions as he observed the bandages wrapped around (Y/n) hands, noticing a (s/c) gap between a bandage. (Y/n) shook their head, making their hands into fists. "You're mad?" Makomo questioned next, (Y/n) shook their head again. (Y/n) points at the wooden swords, then at their self, then put both index fingers over each other pointing both left and right, making a 'X' sign. Then points at their hand and turns them to fists and punches the air before stopping and looking at the three students.

It was only a minute of pregnant silence, the three students looking very confused.

"Oh! You're gonna use your hands instead of wooden swords?" Giyuu exclaimed after he dropped his fist into his open hand. (Y/n) nodded vigorously, Giyuu started cheering after that with a wide grin that reached his ears.

Sabito just smirked and walked out the door with the wooden sword over his shoulder, Giyuu following and Makomo following after. (Y/n) watched them walk out the room, carrying each of their own wooden swords to train with. "Hey (Y/n)! You coming?" Sabito called out to the masked person, waiting outside with the other two raven hairs. (Y/n) nodded and walked out of the room, sliding the shoji door after before catching up to the three children.

But (Y/n) should've seen what was changing in those three when they were around them..

•.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.••..•.•.•.•.••..•.•.••.•.•.

As time passed by, the feelings for (Y/n) got worse for Giyuu and Sabito.

Including Makomo.

Sabito, the strongest out of the three, surprisingly became obsessive towards (Y/n). Constantly asking (Y/n) what took them so long to come back, where did they go, what were they doing.

He wanted—no..he needed to know everything they were doing and where they went. He needed to know everything, every. single. thing. About (Y/n). Sadly, he could only find out more things about (Y/n). But he was glad that he found out some things about (Y/n), drilling it deep into his head and cherishing it. Like how (Y/n) would just tilt their head at a question they don't wanna answer, or how they try to show what they're gonna do or something, even noticing that they have a habit of picking at petals.

Sabito will also always walk around with you all the time, if possible.

It isn't really that shocking if Makomo is clingy towards (Y/n). The little, pale girl is always by (Y/n) side. Ignoring a pair of glares sent her way. She never leaves (Y/n) side, constantly clinging onto (Y/n) leg with a bear hug, enjoying how close she can get to the masked person.

Makomo will forever, and always be by (Y/n) side. But if somebody ever tries to take her spot, she won't be that much friendly to them.

And lastly, Tomioka Giyuu.

Giyuu seems to be kinda obsessed towards (Y/n) also, yet—he also has something towards the masked person. Giyuu started keeping things that was gifted to him from (Y/n), treasuring them and admiring them. Even when they're not much of a use object. A brush to use for writing? It's his favorite brush to write with already. A piece of ripped clothing from (Y/n)? He's cherishing it and keeping it in his kimono. Giyuu will collect everything (Y/n) leaves behind, secretly hiding it away somewhere with other stuff (Y/n) either gave to him or they've thrown away. Everything that is from (Y/n) is something he will treasure and cherish.

The three of them adored (Y/n), observing each move they make.

It was shocking that they were able to hide that part of them they felt towards (Y/n), but Urokodaki soon started to catch on what was happening every time (Y/n) came over after a while. Most likely Makomo.

At first, Urokodaki thought she was just very happy with a new person around.

That is until, he noticed some very odd things Makomo did. The first one he noticed was from Makomo. He noticed how she got even more clingy towards (Y/n) each time they came over, noticing every now and then how she acts different around (Y/n) than with her two best friends.

She smiles more towards (Y/n) than towards Sabito and Giyuu, she hangs more with (Y/n) and talks to her more.

Urokodaki wasn't so sure about Sabito and Giyuu, sense he couldn't see anything odd they might be doing. But he had a feeling they were also hiding something, yet—he couldn't find out what it was.

He only noticed one small thing though, the same thing going on with Makomo.

Both of those boys were always right by (Y/n) side once the masked person appeared in their sight. Rarely ever leaving their side, nor ever wanting to leave their side.

.•.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.••..•.•.•.•.••..•.•.••.•.•.

It soon came to the day to where Giyuu, Sabito and Makomo were going to the final selection, determined to become a demon hunter. But most importantly, to protect you. You were their first priority, they needed to protect, they needed to be around you, they needed you to be with them.

You stood next to Urokodaki in front of the shoji door, your head tilted down a little to show that you were looking at the wooden floor of the small cabin owned by Urokodaki.

"(Y/n)." Urokodaki calls out to you, still looking ahead as you and him wait for his three students to come out of their rooms.

You didn't answer, you knew Urokodaki would know that you would still listen. "Do you..hope they will survive...?" Urokodaki hesitates on asking you, but still asked anyways. You nodded after good minute of silence, still finding the floor interesting.

"(Y/n)! Urokodaki-San!" A cheery voice broke through the silence, a familiar male voice that you knew.

Looking up from the floor, you saw a raven haired boy, blue eyes that were exotic with white pupils of his own. He wore the same red kimono, same black hakama pants, but had a white cloth tied around his waist.

That raven haired, bubbly, boy was Tomioka Giyuu.

Giyuu stopped right in front of Urokodaki, smiling up at him with his own brave smile.

Giyuu turned and looked at you, giving you a bigger smile as his eyes closed. You only gave him your usual stare as an response. It was a bit shocking that the raven haired boy gotten taller, he was already about your height or a inch shorter than you.

He looked to where he just came from, smiling at the familiar two people that he's known since he became a orphan.

"Sabito! Makomo!" Giyuu calls out to the duo who were walking towards the three of them.

Makomo smiled softly when her eyes landed on you, she walked over to you and gave you a hug. Her small arms wrapping around your torso. Makomo did grow too, but she was still smaller than you were.

It was only a split second when Sabito and Giyuu face expression became a frown, somehow, Urokodaki was able to see those frowns that dawned upon the boys faces fast enough. Urokodaki wondered why they frowned for a few seconds before shaking it off. He smiled behind his tengu mask as he watched the three of his students interact with you, big smiles on their faces. Soon, the fun moment ended as you all remembered about the final selection. All of you walked out of the small cabin, Urokodaki's three students walked a few more steps in front of the both of you before stopping. You stepped forward before doing something that shocked the three students. You hugged all three of them, you arms tightening a bit after the trio returned the hug. Stepping back out of your grasp, they smiled sadly at you and Urokodaki. Giyuu almost seemed like he was about to breakdown right there. But he held those tears in, not wanting to cry in front of his friends, teacher and you.

Urokodaki stepped forward, giving Sabito, Giyuu and Makomo something.

He gave them warding masks.

The trio were In awe at the warding masks, feeling the texture of it. They looked up at you and Urokodaki, feeling a pang of sadness when they knew that the final selection is a death wish, and if they died, that means that both you and Urokodaki will be all alone. Sad and devastated about their deaths. Now that's when they all couldn't hold it in anymore.

Giyuu jumped in Urokodaki's arms, tears streaming down his face as he hugs his own master. Sabito and Makomo joining in the hug after a minute of watching, crying also. It was a sad, crying, group hug. (Y/n) just watched from the side, feeling an emotion they really don't know. They felt mixed feelings. They couldn't explain the emotion they were feeling, nor find out what emotion it was.

That's when (Y/n) snapped out of their thoughts when they felt a hand pull them in the group hug before feeling arms wrap around them.

(Y/n) breath hitches at the sudden action, not really experienced in this kind of thing. After a few seconds of (Y/n) trying to progress what just happen, their arms made their way around the four people they cared for the most. Joining in on the sad, goodbye hug.

'What is this feeling..?'
