*Isamu continued to clean his sword, occasionally glancing towards Kanri before looking back at his sword. It was the happiest they had ever seen him. The others pieced together the story quick enough, though judging by his behavior, it seemed he hadn't told her.
"It's alright. He'll be back to normal soon, no doubt."
*He turned to the Kakushi.*
"Since Tomiko has asserted her claim on your neck, I'd suggest riding with us."
*The other Kakushi, a boy, seemed incredulous.*
Kakushi (M): "So what, you expect me to drag this cart all by myself?!"
*Isamu raised a hand.*
"Relax. You'll have assistance."
*He hailed another Kakushi and explained. While not happy, he begrudgingly accepted.*
*And thus they were off.*
(If you would, can you name the female Kakushi? I haven't named her yet because she was based on a different OC, but I'm tired and can't think of a decent Japanese name, and you know more about Japanese stuff than I do)
Kakushi: "On the contrary, I actually like being out and around. I'm one of the more active Kakushi. Isamu takes me out on trips with him more than others."
(In case you couldn't tell, this is the "someone" from before. I've always had an idea in the back of my head of a Hashira being romantically involved with a Kakushi, and I've even explored it before. It works pretty well considering how the Kakushi/Hashira relationship is often less master-to-staff and more peer-to-peer)
