Giyuu and Obanai had been put on a mission together that night. It was dark as they walked, but warm. The summer air was almost suffocating in its heat, persperation dripping slowly down their faces.

They ignored this, however, quietly walking through the forest as they searched for any sign of the demon(s) they were sent to kill.

They came to a stop, eventually, both freezing when they heard a sound somewhere far off. Their eyes met and they nodded, listening closely for the demon. Then, upon having some vague sense on where it was, they ran towards the sound. 

The ground was grassy and their footsteps were muted by it as they weaved through the trees, spotting the demon instantly. Obanai propelled himself up, jumping off a tree and unsheathing his katana as he did.

Giyuu stayed on the ground, his katana held up and ready as he charged forward, slashing at the demon.

The demon, not having expected them, nearly got it’s head cut off by Giyuu’s katana, but moved back at the last second.

Obanai moved behind the demon, landing on its back.

The demon flipped him off, making Obanai have to steady himself. The demon, distracted, didn’t notice Giyuu as he quickly slashed off its head, watching it topple down immediately.

“Is that all?” Obanai asked quietly, as they watched the demon disintigrate. 

“I doubt it. They would not send two Hashira, were it so,” Giyuu murmured. He glanced down at the head, noting the number on one of the demons eyes. “A lowermoon.”

Obanai nodded. 

They turned and continued to walk through the forest, fully on guard. For several minutes, they walked in silence, before, almost at once, both sensed a demon nearby—from opposite directions.

“You go that way, I’ll go the other,” Obanai said, immediately running off in the direction he’d sensed.

Giyuu sped off to the opposite direction, finding a small group of demons bickering about something. Quickly, before they noticed him, he decapitated most of the demons, killing the remaining right after.

Then he sheathed his katana, walking back to where he figured Obanai was, still looking around for any other demons.

He noticed Obanai up ahead and sped up slightly.

Obanai stood in the middle of a clearing, the demons he’d sensed mostly disintigrated now. Small fireflies were flying around him, making him look almost ethereal. He turned, noticing Giyuu, and gave him a nod. 

“You found them?” Obanai asked, stepping forward. He didn’t seem to be paying the fireflies much attention as the flit around him, a small glow lighting them all up.

Giyuu nodded breathlessly, unsure why he was so drawn to Obanai suddenly. “Yes.”

“We should stay here a bit, I don’t know if that’s all of them. The sun will rise in about…” Obanai paused. “I forgot.”

“Two hours,” Giyuu replied quickly, moving towards Obanai. 

“Right. Two hours.” 

They stood side by side, the fireflies moving as if to make room for Giyuu in the clearing, although they hovered around the Hashira.

It was silent, with the faint sound of cicadas somewhere in the distance.

Giyuu moved slightly, facing Obanai. 

Obanai looked up, meeting his eyes. “Hm?”

“Nothing.” 

Obanai gave him a perplexed look, his hair framing his face in the light. Kaburamaru, who sat on Obanai’s shoulders, seemed to notice something Obanai hadn’t and appeared to be smiling to himself.

“Alright,” Obanai murmured.
