Today, the head of the corps hosted the meeting, Ubuyashiki Kagaya. Yet as you waited, the other Hashiras came one by one. Instead of Kagaya entering the room infront of them, it was his wife, Lady Amane. She bowed her head down slightly as an apology, before speaking. "I heavily apologize for the wait. It seems like Kagaya's condition had.. Worsened. From this day on, you are unable to see him." She said, your eyes widened slightly, surprised by the revelation. So was the other Hashiras shocked, including The Mist Hashira-- Tokito Muichiro, whom always seemed to be in his own world.

You haven't been a Hashira for that long--- Serving the corps as a Hashira for just two years already. You were seated just in front of Iguro Obanai, The Serpent Hashira. He was always so quiet yet his serpent, always coiled around his neck seemed to like your presence. You had been sent on a couple of missions with him, but that was it. You glanced over your shoulder just to see Kaburamaru, his snake trying to get down from his neck to try and accompany you instead.

"Oi.. Now's not the time for your bullshit, Kaburamaru.." Obanai whispered as he stopped the snake from doing so. Your shock subsided for a few moments as you let out a quiet giggle watching him struggle.
