Breath Of The Flower

'Kocho Yuna'

Enmei stared at the direction of the woman who will soon be his teacher. Teacher?

"But father, she seems to be a demon slayer, what does she plan to teach me?", Enmei asked his father, his head tilting slightly and his eyebrows furrowed.

"*cough*, she won't be teaching you how to read and write as I'm sure you already know that", he sent a knowing look towards Enmei, "But she will be teaching you how to fight."

His pale blue eyes widened, "But father my eyes, I can't see".

"But you still manage to get around the house fine".

"I- we- our family never becomes a demon slayer, isn't it our job to lead them?"

"True, but that is because we were born weak, we had no other options but to support them"

"Still I can't- I want to support aniue-!"

"Enough! Enmei I know you want to support your brother but that doesn't mean you will follow him forever. Learn from the people at their perspective, not from afar. You were blessed with a good body, I don't want you to waste it. If you are really that against it you don't have to become a demon slayer, just learn from Yuna and learn some self defence."

"Yes father..", Enmei replied slowly.

"Good, in the mornings you will have attend your lesson with your brother and I, and in the afternoon you will go to the butterfly manor and attend classes with her two daughters".

Hearing that their little banter was over, Yuna turned to the young boy and smiled, "It will be a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to work with you, Enmei-sama".

"Ok~".

After exiting the room Enmei bumped into his elder brother. "Ah- Aniue!".

Kagaya looked at his brother and smiled, he lifted his hand and patted his small head.

"Isn't that great? You've always wanted to enter the demon corps"

"No- I wanted to.... supported you as much as I could"

"If you enter then you will be of great help to me"

"Really!", Enmei exclaimed as a big smile spread across his face.

"Yes, and to do so you need to rest early for your class tomorrow"

"It's hard to believe that he is your brother~", a gentle voice made its way to Kagaya's ears.

"Yuna-san, please don't say that about him"

"Not at all~ I just think that what you said just then, about wanting him to join the corps was the same as getting rid of him"

Kagaya's eyes narrowed as he glared at the young lady in pink, "Please don't tease me, you know what I meant".

"Yes Yes, you sure love your brother don't you~"

A small blush crept onto Kagaya's face but he quickly calmed down, "I hope you have a good day, please send my regards to Kanae and Shinobu". After leaving those words he quickly left.

"Please follow me Enmei-sama", a strict voice snapped Enmei out of his daze. He was currently standing outside the butterfly manor. The sweet scent of flowers overwhelmed his sense of smell, and the quiet peaceful area calmed him down.

"Ara~ it's nice to see you again Enmei-kun", the sweet voice of his teacher echoed through his ears.

"Well let me introduce you, these two girls are my daughters, Kanae and Shinobu"

"Hello~ I'm Kanae", a sweet and childish sound came from the eldest daughter.

"Shinobu", stated the smaller girl.

"Fufu Kanae is 8 this year, so she is 3 years older then you and Shinobu is 6, meaning she is-"

"1 year older, so I will be your older sister! Call me nee-san!", Shinobu interjected, "hehe I'm no longer the youngest now that I have a younger sister!"

""Younger sister?"", Enmei and Yuna said at the same time.

"Yup, look at Enmei-chan! She's so cute... even though her name is slightly boyish"

"I'm actually a boy...", Enmei said suddenly.

""Eh?"", both girls stared at him with confused faces.

"The Ubuyashiki family usually dresses their sons as girls since young", Yuna explained.

"Why?" Asked Kanae.

"It's because we are born weak. I guess it's easier to treat us as girls..." Enmei muttered.

"Wait doesn't that mean Kagaya-chan is a boy?" Kanae's face paled.

"Aniue?" Enmei asked.

"Pff- Hahaha", Yuna couldn't stop laughing at her daughters.
