Chapter title: The prank

Third person pov
__________

After their first date, Kyojuro and M/N went on a few more. Kyojuro was finally completely healed now which M/N was happy about but also a little sad because he enjoyed being able to take care of him. "Do you think we should tell my Oto-san about us?" Kyojuro suddenly asked while he was resting his head on M/N's lap and had strands of hair being twirled around on M/N's index finger.

"Oh yeah, we haven't told him, have we? Do you think you're ready? Do you think Shinjuro would be accepting of us?" M/N was probably worried just as much as Kyojuro.

"He's my Oto-san and he likes you so he'd probably be ok with us. I just feel like we shouldn't hide our relationship from him."

"Alright, let's do it." M/N agreed and waited for Kyojuro raise his head off M/N's lap so he could get up. They did so, walking to the entrance.

Suddenly the Shoji doors slammed open, almost breaking "hurry, M/N, Kyojuro, Tengen is coming!" It was Mitsuri, warning them.

The two were confused for a second, then remembering their plan. She had explained that everyone was ready and the two needed to get into character. She claimed that Muichiro was hiding. Instead of them making a fake body, Muichiro decided that he'd actually play the part and was rolled up in some nasty smelling bed sheets. Man was that kid brave. He made sure to have some of his hair covered in the fake blood and stick out of the sheets a bit, going in Tengens closet. The other Hashira were out panicking in their own ways. Kyojuro and M/N tan out the house, spiting Tengen on his way to his estate. "Tengen!" M/N called out. He didn't really notice too much wrong with him except some blood covering his face that was wiped off but still left little streaks. "Tengen! We can't find Muichiro. He disappeared last night and Oyokata sama said that he wasn't on a mission!" M/N fake panicked.

"Crap, seriously?" Tengen was confused but everything started to click, why Mitsuri was running around in a panic, why Giyuu had been walking around, looking for something, how sanemi actually had an expression on his face besides anger. "This may sound sending but I'm going to my estate to go change." Tengen claimed. Tengens wives then came up, Suma crying from the news. Mitsuri had caught them up on the situation. Kyojuro and M/N we're glad they were safe. They allowed him. Tengen walked away to his estate.

Kyojuro had told his crow to tell everyone about how Tengen was going to his estate. People gathered there, sneaking in, peaking through the door to Tengens room where he was changing. Obanai was covering Mitsuris eyes. Tengen went to open his closet, only then he uncovered them.

Once open, Muichiros lifeless body wrapped in smelly bloodstained blankets fell from the closet. The fall looked so real, Muichiro hadn't even tried to break the fall. Suma screamed at the top of her lungs, Tengen and Makio screamed too with Hinatsuru clasping her hands over her mouth, starting to cry. "Mui!!!!!" Tengen shouted and held Muichiro in his arms. The sight was unsettling to him. He unwrapped him from the sheets, seeing his injuries and perhaps he could save him.

Muichiro continued playing into it. He make his breathing ragged and shallow. "He's alive!" Tengen told his wives in a panic. Hinatsuru came to first, she then checked his pulse.

Muichiro slowly opened his eyes "Ten...gen... is that... you?" He asked weakly. All the Hashira were amazed at how Muichiro kept playing into it and what an amazing actor he was.

"It's me! It's me! What happened? We need to get you to Shinobu!" He held onto Muichiro with his only hand. He was going to hold his face with his other hand when he remembered he had lost it. Muichiro noticed and he got worried. He decided to end the prank. He jumped out of his arms yelling. Everyone fell over outside laughing hard. "What the hell?!" Tengen shouted. He was shocked about what happened. He was literally pranked so bad. "You assholes! I trusted you!"

"Aw man, that was so funny. Nice going Muichiro, you did great!" Sanemi complemented.

"I almost fell for it." Mitsuri admitted.

"Thanks guys... but Tengen... what happened to your arm?"

"Oh, I lost my hand." Tengen said like it was no big deal. "I'm actually thinking about retiring."

"You lost your hand?!" M/N and Kyojuro ran up to Tengen, checking his arm. Low and behold, his left hand was gone and his eye had been smashed in just like Kyojuros was.

"What happened?" Kyojuro asked, holding onto Tengens arm weakly.

"Upper Six was there." Tengen started

"Daki, and Gyutaro?!" M/N shouted out their names. The other Hashira were unaware of M/N's closeness with the Upper Moons so they didn't expect M/N to know their names.

"Yeah, I was actually kind of scared." Tengen admitted.

"Did you kill them?" Obanai asked like that was the only thing that mattered.

"Yeah, I did," Tengen explained the fight. Everyone listened intently. M/N was trying so hard not to cry. Everyone but Kyojuro and M/N left now. Kyojuro had been hugging M/N through the whole explanation. The moment the others left, the waterworks started. He sobbed "M/N, I'm sorry, I had to." Tengen apologized

"I know. I know. It's not your fault. You're a Hashira, it's your job, it's my job too. It had to happen sooner than later. I just wish I could have said a final goodbye to them. I loved them so much. They were my precious Aniki and Aneki." M/N hugged to two so tight. After a whole of comforting, M/N was able to relax but he wanted to go back to his estate. He told Kyojuro yay he just wanted to be alone for a bit. Kyojuro didn't want to leave him alone when he was so sad but he had to oblige with his boyfriends wants.

"I'm worried about him." Kyojuro frowned once M/N left

"Me too. I almost feel bad for killing them." Tengen admitted. He didn't know M/N would react so badly. He was practically screaming while he cried. He should have expected him to react like that, they were his family after all. "I think it's best to just listen to him and leave him be for a bit.

"You know, we were going to come out to my Oto-San today but I'm not sure if he wants to leave the house for a while. I hope he'll be ok for missions. He's probably going to go in one soon." Kyojuro clenched his fists. He didn't like seeing M/N hurting. He hasn't seen him this sad since M/N told him about the day he left his demon family.

Sunset came and Kyojuro left to go home. "M/N, I'm back." Kyojuro called out. He walked into the room to see M/N sleeping with Senjuro. He seemed to have tried comforting him. Kyojuro smiled at the sight but noticed that M/N had some tears streaking down M/N's cheeks as he was sleeping. He wasn't having a good dream. Kyojuro got ready for bed, he had been debating on waking up M/N or not but he decided against it because he figured it had probably been hard for M/N to fall asleep. He got on the futon behind him and spooned him. He fell asleep, holding onto his sad boyfriend. He really hopes that M/N would feel better the next day.
