Akaza pov:

I was not looking forward to this mission, I already have to do missions as a Hashira. But I don't think that is what was causing the sinking feeling in my stomach. Guilt. Kokushibo trusts me so much.... I just don't even know what to say to myself. It's like there's nothing I can say to make myself feel better, that except I'm doing this for the good of the world. I was snapped out of my thoughts by voice. "Are you all right my darling." Darling. He calls me fucking darling. I want to cry. "Yeah just thinking of a long mission. This is going to be."  I said, trying to get the tone of my voice back on track. "Ah yes, I suppose so. But I have been here before not for a mission quite like this one, but for a mission nonetheless, This place is basically just a vast amount of plane, barely any villages."  "Hm"

Time skip

Kokushibo pov:

We've been walking for a couple hours now, and still barely have spoken. I am unsure why that is but the only possible conclusion I can think of is that maybe I have upset him. To be fair I did not tell Akaza that he would have to go on this mission. Maybe he wanted to prepare? I sigh out loud. I'm just being paranoid, but something has heavily been weighing on my mind lately...

My late wife.

I feel as though I must tell him about her. I had not told him about her, even when he was a demon. But I feel like I'm obligated to. But something is holding me back I feel something I have not felt for so long. Guilt.. Is it bad I cannot remember her name? Is it bad? I can not remember her sent? Is it bad I cannot remember anything about her other than vaguely features of her face? Yes, I must tell him. I look up and we had just arrived at the top of a very tall hill, it seems we have arrived at our destination. "Akaza we are here." I say. He looks up he was clearly in deep thought too. He looks in front of us. "Damn you were not kidding about this just being planes, and this is gonna suck we have to make our way all the way down this hill."

I grab his hand in his eyes dart from the planes to my own eyes. I gave him a small smile. "You will not fall now, for if you do I will pull you back." I said, offering as an answer. His eyes widen. And I see a mix in those eyes love, surprise, and... guilt? I brush that off thinking maybe I'm projecting. As we're walking, a small bunny hops not stopping, even when in front of us. "Well it looks like we're eating good tonight." My eyes widen they dart to Akaza. "Surely you don't mean eating-" Akaza burst out laughing. "Nah nah I'm joking with you! God you should've seen your face!" He said his laughing still had not eased down. I let out a chuckle myself.

A few moments later, I speak again. " I know a village a hour or 2 from here. We must Get going towards it for the sun will be up soon." "Oh shit! That's why we need to get you to there soon. Wait, which direction Is it?" "West" He stares at me for a moment. "Bitch I never learned my directions just point to it." I stare at him for a moment. "My dear, sometimes you surprised me on how you became a Hashira." I say as I point to West. "Okay rude number 1, number 2... RACE YOU!" He screamed, giving himself a headstart. "My love we are not children." I say, watching him run off with the speed of a Hashira in amusement. Very well then if he wants to act like children, then we shall. I quickly glide after him, passing him in a few seconds.

I will tell him when we get to the village...
