The two of you walked in silence, you walked a few feet behind the male 'Tokitou-kun has a nice scent, he smells like dust and rain... What a pretty scent' you thought as your cheeks tinted pink.

"Gaah, that's weird!" You yelled out as you covered your head with your arms "What's weird?" Tokitou asked as he suddenly stopped to look at you.

"What? No no, nothing" you replied with a nervous tone, he stood there staring at you not saying anything "What'd I say?" He mumbled 'What!? How'd he forget...' You thought as you then remembered a conversation with Shinobu.



"Tokitou-kun has problems memorizing things right after there said or shown to him" Shinobu said, sitting at her desk as she continued to write formula's for healing antidotes "So basically short-term memory loss?" You spoke out.

"Kind of, if he doesn't consider whatever what said or shown to him important then he'll forget it, I have yet to see him forget something that was said to him by Oyakata-sama"



'Right, not important' you thought as you began to walk behind the male once more. After some time the two of you arrived at his estate, his estate was quite large just like the other hashira's home's but Tokitou's estate didn't feel like a home.

It was quite empty, it smelt old and abandoned and there were dust bunnies in the corner 'Does he really live like this, it's so... Not homey' you thought as you eyed the inside of his estate.

You stood alone in the entryway of his home, he asked for you to wait in the entryway because he wanted to go check something before bringing you to your room. "You can come in now" Tokitou spoke out.

You looked up and saw the male standing before you "Follow me, I'll bring you to your room" Tokitou spoke out as he began walking down the halls, you following behind him.

'I forgot to buy her something to sleep in... hopefully she doesn't notice' Tokitou thought as he walked into an empty room. The room was dull and dark the only thing in the room was a futon in the corner, the futon looked as if it had been thrown in the room.

"I'll leave you be," Tokitou said as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"huh, this is something" you mumbled as you placed your hand on your hand and looked around the room "it's so dull and boring" you mumbled as you walked towards the poorly folded futon in the corner.

'it's all wrinkly as if it's been used? Does Tokitou-kun have other guests over?' you thought as you used your hand to rub away the wrinkles. You sat on the bed and plopped your bag off and in the corner of your eye you noticed something on the bed.

"Hair!?" You mumbled as you picked up the hair "Gehh!? Does Tokitou-kun have other women here!?" You panicked as you jumped off of the bed before getting a whiff of the hairs scent "Oh, it's Tokitou-kun's hair" you mumbled with a deadpanned expression before tossing the hair aside. 

"Wait? Did he give me his futon?" You mumbled under your breath as a smile formed on your face.

"Ah, I can't allow him to sleep on the floor" you spoke out as you set off to his room, you walked into the hallway and followed his scent of dust and rain and the faint sound of his breathing. 

You soon arrived at a door and behind this door was Tokitou-kun "Uhm, Tokitou-kun" you mumbled and knocked on the door before sliding his door open "Huh" you breathed out as you saw the male fast asleep in his room.

Tokitou was sleeping with his back against the wall with his sheathed katana in his arms, you had walked into the room and began analyzing the male 'He looks like a baby when he sleeps' you thought as you brushed a few strands of hair out of his face and tucked it behind his ear.

You then stood up and went to retrieve the futon from your room and brought it to Tokitou's room, you had placed the male in the futon and then went back into your room.

You then knelt onto the floor as you dug through your bag inside the bag was a small pouch with a wisteria symbol on it within the pouch was wisteria.

Wisteria would often cause you nosebleeds, runny noses, headaches or sometimes it'd cause you to throw up but it still kept demons away. So you decided to bring it with you.

You had planned on going to a nearby village and purchasing a few things for your room and Tokitou-kun and his home.

You placed the wisteria sash in the pocket of your pants, placed your katana's under your belt and then used your haori to cover them up.

"I feel like I'm forgetting something" you whispered as you closed the door to Tokitou's estate.
