Tanjiro was kindly hanging out with Rengoku. Tanjiro was soo happy that Rengoku finally agree to hang out with him. 'Its great that I 'ask' him to go out with me.' Tanjiro thought in his mind.

What actually happen;

"But Tanjiro...." "No but! You're soo mean! Uwaa!" Tanjiro start to cry like a very childish kid that can't get the thing their want. Rengoku was tired to dealing with Tanjiro. He need to go to the black market in some hours. Rengoku look at Akira wish for a help. Akira notice the face but Akira only bowing to Rengoku wish for a forgiveness from him that he afraid he cannot help with that.

When Tanjiro become like this, it really is something that's very troublesome. There was once when Tanjiro also become like this because Tanjiro was trying to search for the book he want with Akira but they can't found it at anywhere in the library. It take around almost 6 hours before Tanjiro giving up. The next day, Akira found the book inside Rengoku room. 'What the...' That's what Akira thought that time. He have to handle Tanjiro for almost 6 hours just to find the book that was actually inside Rengoku room.

Rengoku give up. He look at his watch. He got 4 hour before the black market open. He should be there 30 minutes before their start selling some stupid thing so he got only 3 hour 30 minutes to go out with Tanjiro. He didn't have much time but it's was not a free thing to get to hang out with Tanjiro so this is the only time Rengoku have right now. He sigh in tired breath. "Okay but not too long 'kay?" Rengoku said. Tanjiro stop crying and change into a happiness that appears in his eyes. "Okay!" Tanjiro said.

------------------

"Rengoku san! Look at this!" Tanjiro said and run to one of the shop. It's a pet shop. "What is it?" Rengoku said and smile. "It's a puppy! He kinda look like you Rengoku san! Aren't the pup look cute?" Tanjiro said. For some reason, Rengoku felt the stab into his heart. Tanjiro call someone else cute. Even if that someone was a pup. He's soo jealous. Rengoku look at the innocent puppy eyes. He glare at the dog as the dog start to move to the backwards because it got scared.

Tanjiro was curious by the dog sudden action. "What's wrong? Did something scare you?" Tanjiro said and got confused. He seem sad seeing the puppy getting sad. Rengoku huffed in jealousy. He grab Tanjiro hand drag Tanjiro away from the shop. "Eh? Rengoku san? What's so sudden?" Tanjiro said.

Rengoku bring them somewhere far from the shop. "Where are you dragging me to?" Tanjiro said in a tired sound in his voice as he start to get tired getting dragged. Rengoku stop as Tanjiro also stop. "Rengoku-" Tanjiro mouth was covered as Tanjiro lip's was touching together with Rengoku lip's. A.... kiss. Rengoku pull his mouth away. Both blushing like hell.

In Tanjiro head, he was screaming loudly. Rengoku kiss him. Rengoku look a bit at Tanjiro that was still blushing. He sighed. He look at his watch and shocked that he's been hanging out with Tanjiro too much overtime. He got only 15 minutes left. This time Rengoku need to hurry as fast as he could. He carry Tanjiro in bridal style and run to the parking lot.

Rengoku switch his clothes and change Tanjiro one too. Tanjiro could see that they're wearing more like a formal clothes. They get in the car as Rengoku tell him to. "Um, Rengoku san. Why are we wearing a formal clothes?" Tanjiro ask since he been kinda confuse right now. Rengoku look at Tanjiro that sitting beside him. "We're going to the black market." Rengoku said. "Oh. Wait. Wait. What?!" Tanjiro was shocked but Rengoku just ignore the boy and keep driving. "H-Hey Rengoku san.. do I really have to come with you?" Tanjiro said as he start to get a bit scared. "Yeah." Rengoku said. "But I-" "You can chose anything if you like. I'll buy it for you." Rengoku said. "O-okay...." Tanjiro said and sit properly in silent.

Since Rengoku drive really fast, they got arrive there in 10 minutes. He walk a bit rush not to make people think he's in panic while holding Tanjiro hand. They reach the room that full with people and a stage in front of them. Tanjiro could notice that people are wearing a very good looking rich clothing but the thing that Rengoku notice that Tanjiro don't is people is staring at him. Rengoku touch Tanjiro shoulder to catch the boy attention as Tanjiro turn his head above to look at Rengoku. "Stay by my side." Rengoku said. Tanjiro could only nod. He was just nervous.

Then those people keep selling a random stuff. Rengoku doesn't seem like being interested in anything they give. "Okay! For the next one, we have a bracelets! Those are made by the real gold, silver and diamond!" The man said. Tanjiro could see the bracelet catch his attention. Rengoku notice that Tanjiro have been looking at those bracelets. "Something catch your attention?" Rengoku ask as Tanjiro flinch in shock. "Oh. Umm. That red-black bracelet look beautiful don't you think? The one that made by diamond." Tanjiro said and smile. Rengoku could see that Tanjiro like the bracelet.

"We start with 500$!" The man said. "600$ for the silver one!"
"550$ for the gold one!"
"670$ for the diamond one!"
"700$ for the gold one!"

Until for all of sudden,

"800$ for all the bracelets!" Ms. Rokky raise his hand and make everyone look at him. "Very well! All the bracelets for-" "900$ for all the bracelets!" The all look behind which is Rengoku the one that saying that since he's the one that raising his hand. Everyone start whispering. "How come he like to buy something?" "Aren't he just sit there silently? Why does he want the bracelets?"

Tanjiro couldn't bear those whisper. He look at Rengoku in worried. "Rengoku san. Why did you buy it with such a amount of money?" Tanjiro said but sadly his words are ignored by Rengoku. That woman click her teeth in annoyed. "970$ for all the bracelets!" She said again. Rengoku look at her. He make a smirk and raise his hand again. "1050$ for all the bracelets!" Rengoku said.

Now everything is getting noisy. "Excuse me Mr. Rengoku. Aren't you make a sudden change just for this bracelets? It'll be look more better on me. 3000$ for all the bracelets!" Ms. Rokky said. She then smirk at Rengoku. "Back off stupid guy." She said. "Oh then I'm very sorry." Rengoku said. Tanjiro was actually being a little bit calming after see that Rengoku stop. But if the woman take all the bracelets, she should be also take the red-black bracelet too.

Rengoku sigh and smirk like a criminal. "I change my mind. 1 milion$ for all the bracelets!" Rengoku said. The man was screaming in happy. "Sold to Mr. Rengoku!" The man said.

"Rengoku san. I told you not to aren't I?" Tanjiro said look at three glass box that full with bracelets that he's been holding. "No thanks. I'm fine."
