Sanemi

Sanemi had never been a big fan of Tomioka, the Water Hashira. He was always aloof and quiet, distant and annoying. This greatly irritated Sanemi. Nevertheless, on the orders of Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, he was sent to deliver a message to him.

Deep within the bamboo forest, Sanemi gripped his sword hilt, weaving his way through the bamboo stalks to reach the Water Palace. He muttered something to himself until he finally reached the palace gates, which he pushed open forcefully, the message still in his coat pocket. As he muttered something, someone bumped into him. Instinctively, he wrapped his arm around the person's waist to prevent them from falling.

When he looked to see who had grabbed him, it was a girl. She was smaller, but a spitting image of that damned Tomioka Giyu... and yet, she was incredibly attractive. Although Sanemi feigned indifference with mock sarcasm , "Tch, clumsy girl. Watch where you're running... "he muttered hoarsely, his arm still wrapped around her waist, without hesitating to look away from the palace. How had he managed to win over such a captivating girl?!
