"say yes to heaven.."
"say yes to me?"

IT WAS A SUNNY SUNDAY  morning and Kaori attached her nichirin sword to the white belt of the corp's uniform. She stared into the tall rectangular mirror, seeing how her shoulders down to the detached sleeves of her uniform were a little too revealing. 

'Ah... the sleeves are a bit...'

'I bet this is Kanroji-san's idea... there's no way Kocho-san would let this pass... and the pants...' She looked around, trying to find something to cover it up and that's when she spotted something in the corner of her eyes.

It was the haori that she had for a long time, the familiar black and crimson red fabric. Her eyes turned hazy and blank when she saw the haori. 'Ah... that...'

"It's cold you might get sick. You should wear something that covers your body during nighttime, Kaori."

"You can have that," The six-eyed demon exclaimed, coating the small figure of the girl with the oversized haori.

"Really?? It's very pretty so no takebacks!!"

"Sheesh... I thought I got rid of everything related to him..." Kaori sighed, crossing her arms as she eyed the haori. "But I don't have anything else to use at the moment so..."

Kaori grabbed the haori and tried it on, it still fit since the haori was big. The haori isn't that long, it only reached her upper thighs, covering her belt and a small portion of her pants.

However, the sleeves were still loose and big but they only reached slightly above her wrist  – it was still comfortable for her to move around. "Ah well... I could use this for the meantime..."

The once small white ragdoll cat that the girl owned had grown bigger, he pushed his soft furry head against Kaori's leg while meowing softly. Kaori gazed downwards – seeing the adorable feline's face.

"Hmm, Sho?" She hummed, crouching down and petting the feline's head as it purred. "Wah... you've grown quite a bit now~!"

She giggled softly when the little feline dropped onto the floor, rolling on the ground – showing her his furry belly. "You better eat well, alright? You're so cute~"

Kaori rubs the cat's belly, feeling the soft vibration of his chest due to the purrs. She got up with a relieved smile, "Well then, I'll go greet Kocho-san. I'll play with you later, Sho!"

Kaori got out of her room, closed the door behind her and started walking to the entrance. "Tomioka-sama!! I'm going to go to the butterfly mansion!!"

She yelled, knowing that the water hashira could hear her from upstairs with his keen hearing. She put on her zori which has dark crimson wood and black straps. She opened the door of the mansion and got out, closing the door behind her.

As she headed out, light flutters turned into heavy ones as they got closer towards Kaori who glanced to the side – seeing the familiar crow flying towards her. She brought he index finger up as the crow landed there.
