Eight; Shinobu Kochou…. Will she take the hint?
Shinobu, having had enough of being beaten up every time she had gotten better, was now standing in front of the water estate, ready to walk in when she heard Shi, yet again.
"tick .. tock times nearly up" The tone in the girls voice was cold and hard, it sounded like she would actually die this time if she waited any longer, with that thought in her mind she went across the bridge and into the water estate grounds, where the Tomioka's lived.
Giyuu was laying outside on the grass, staring up at the stars. Shi was inside, reading a book on the couch but she could very much feel the girl's eyes lock onto her the moment she passed by the opened door. "Tomioka-san~"
Shinobu flinched when Giyuu looked over at her from his spot in the sky "Kochou?"
"I came to apologise, my teasing may have come across up you as bullying-"
"You're the fifth one to apologise to me, is something going on?"
"Ah! No, I just felt bad about treating you so harshly."
"Ah, okay, I forgive you then."
The eyes disappeared and Giyuu looked back to the stars, Shinobu walking away, she lived to see another day.
