i really hope i actually wrote it down somewhere.. back when i was really into the clan au i had an idea for an offshoot where giyuu goes on a escort/guard mission for a high-profile merchant that was passing thru their southern valley & ended up coming home w more shinobi than he left with

something something he was idly chatting with one of the caravan workers & instinctually launched out to catch a lady who was about to break her face on the ground. that lady was suma. cue the grateful waterworks that immediately turns to complaining about why she was running so fast she tripped, very quickly stopped when she noticed how soft the fur on his cloak was and started complimenting him on that before makio eventually showed up and dragged her off. Very Confused Giyuu left in their wake

later on a big buff guy stopped by to talk to him, tengen thanking him for helping one of his wives out that turned into a neat little conversation & an invitation to chat w the whole group sometime when hes free. giyuu ended up making friends with the quartet and found that they were Uzuis who fled their clan because they disliked the harsh training practices & what it meant for their future, so he ended up offering a spot in his clan for them. they accepted and once his mission was over they follow him back to the tomioka clan compound & yadda yadda bam theyre Tomiokas now, new clan ensemble and whatnot
