After the whole hospital ordeal, Rengoku became restless and seems to be in a deep thought. His grim face shocked the other hashiras. Who wouldn't be? That man seems to be not acquainted with the word grim or frustration. He has always been the brightest and blinding hashira together with Uzui.

"Do you think Rengoku-san is a little bit different?" The Love Hashira - Mitsuri finally voiced out everyone's thought

Iguro, the Serpent Hashira shrugged, "He became weirder, probably because of that woman." He clicked his tongue out of distaste, just the thought of that woman's name rolling out of his tongue --

The young mist Hashira stared at the said man sitting in the farthest corner away from them, his orbs observing him. He didn't said a word but indeed, the man is a bit weirder.

Shinobu, clapped her hands together earning everyone's (except Rengoku) attention. Her usual sarcastic - fake smile plastered across her beautiful face.

"Anyway, I completely forgot this one until now! I still have the demoness' bag in my possession and I still haven't opened it. It wouldn't hurt to take a peak, no?" She said in a cheery voice while holding up the familiar bag of [Y/N]

Uzui whistled, "That's some expensive bag she got there."

"Hah?! That's the least of our concern!" Sanemi growled, taking the thing roughly, away from her

He carelessly zipped it open and turned it upside down, letting the contents fall down the hard tatami floor of his estate.

Everyone sighed as nothing really extraordinary fell off, except being ridiculously valuable. Aside from a black gold accented purse, a bottle of expensive sweet scented cologne, old but still pristine looking journal and a golden locket, nothing seems to look suspicious.

"Ha, demons got some taste!" Sanemi laughed sarcastically

He picked up the journal and proceeded to open it, a photograph then fell off from being squeezed between the pages. It landed perfectly on it's back, revealing a family picture of five people, each one held a warm and happy expressions.

"Oi dumbasses, look at this!"

Pairs of eyes landed down the image, recognition dawning them. Arrays of gasp and reaction flooded the room.

"The [L/N] family!"

Giyuu flicked the image to the back. From there, they read the black cursive words that were neatly written.

December 28th,

This photo belongs to Jonathan, Freya, Theodore, Livius and [Y/N] [L/N]

PS: I love you guys! Though we're always so loud and rowdy, I think our family is the best. I'm happy I was born.

"W... Weren't they dead?" Mitsuri asked

The Stone Hashira nodded firmly, "The are. Slaughtered by demons. If I remembered it correctly, Oyakata-sama told me she witnessed the gruesome image of her dismembered family. Although her brothers' body were not found, they were considered passed."

"So in other words, Himejima-san, she married her supposedly enemy. Does she knows it?" Iguro said

"I don't know. We only could investigate in this matter and maybe try to get her in our side." He sighed
