He sighed deeply, looking around the room one last time, ensuring every possible crevice of the space was occupied with his belongings. He smiled with a look of accomplishment.
The only thing left to move was a small woven box. He set it carefully atop the luggage. He walked out of the small cabin and closed the door. He smiled again, happy to have a place of his own, after so long.
There's something special about the final piece of luggage, when you have no other responsibilities and a fresh start to life... A life with no demons... A life filled with peace...
"Finally... I'm so excited! I've never been in retirement before!" The boy, (Y/N), happily stated. His tail swished back and forth as his smile grew 10x brighter than how it was a few seconds ago.
"Ke-Ke-Ke! Of course, you've never retired before!" The smile on the Shiba's face melted narrowly. The high-pitched voice belonged to Matsuemon, the Kasugai Crow gifted to him, who chuckled at the slightly annoyed (Y/N). "Now, pick me up!"
(Y/N) looked down at the bird in annoyance and pity. After his recovery, the dog constantly fed the bird as a 'thank you' for accompanying him on his dangerous journey. His constant babying caused the bird to gain... some weight.
Sighing, (Y/N) picked up Matsuemon and gently placed him on a small futon perched on his desk. The bird chuckled awarding and snuggled into the little bed with glee.
'Now what?' (Y/N) thought, placing a hand on his chin. He winced, slightly embarrassed by the loud, almost thunderous sound of his stomach. Matsuemon looked up at him, a sly grin on his face. "Someone is hungry."
