Yoriichi had no destination in his mind. He just let his feet take him. He was aware of his surroundings. He was aware of the ground under his feet. He only looked forward. Soon his feet left the small town and now he was staring at a large tree in front of him. Yoriichi moved himself down at the base of the tree. He crosses his legs and stores his swords away in the storage seal on his arm. He leaned back against the tree and closed his eyes, cutting his sense of human sight. He always did this whenever he left lost or conflicted. It would calm the fire down in the forge. Allowing him to take control of the heat back. The first thing to get cut off was his sense of hearing, followed by his sense of smell, he no longer could feel the touch. What followed next felt like an explosion as his transparent world expanded.

The Transparent World was more than a form of ocular extrasensory perception that altered the vision, allowing anyone to perceive other living beings as if they were transparent. It allowed the person to be able to see the inner workings of their and other people's bodies. Notably, it allows a person to perceive the flow of blood, breathing, muscular contractions and joint movements of the creature they are looking at. Potentially, one can use the transparent world's power to see inside an enemy's body as a way to predict and evade their opponent's attacks, as well as to find openings for their own, strikes.

That what, the Transparent World is in its most basic form.

It is more than that. The demon slayers had only been able to scratch the surface of what the transparent world could do. He had his doubts but he had a theory that the OG Yoriichi had this advanced version of the transparent world. The redhead could not see or hear his surroundings. His mind could feel them without his touch. He could feel what was their strongest point and what was their weakest point. The information just exploded and flooded his brain. Yoriichi's.mind strained at the information as darkest quickly took him.

Yoriichi blinked his eyes as they slowly opened. He found himself surrounded by a familiar abyss. He sighed when he found himself here.

Kaguya: It's been a while.

Yoriichi turned around. He found himself looking at a very familiar and famous face. For some reason felt a small smile come to his face.

Yoriichi: Hey.

He gave what someone of Kaguya's status would either looked at as a pathetic way to greet someone or as an insult maybe even both. A small almost non-existent smile made it on Kaguya's face and Yoriichi would have missed it if he wasn't...well Yoriichi. 

Kaguya had been alone the in abyss of her prison for so long. She had given up keeping track of time a long while ago. All that was left was her and her prison. Her only hope was the Zetsu she created to break her out of here. Then out of nowhere, He arrived. His arrival was...out of the blue. His presence was abnormal and his personality even more so. It was in all sense of the word opposite to her ever-serious personality yet she felt drawn to it. Maybe that old human saying that opposites attract each other was true. Their first meeting has left Kaguya to think and lot about. When she cleared her mind of the doubts that consumed her. Kaguya missed the redhead's presence. He brought warmth like the sun to this empty infinite darkness but Kagua never kept any hope that the man known as Yoriichi would appear again yet...deep in her heart she knew she wanted to see him again. 

After their first meeting, Kaguya began to keep track of time. She mentally created a clock in her mind to keep track of time. Now, when she met him again her heart fluttered ever so slightly slightly. She had been waiting for this moment to come. When her eyes landed on him. She took in his appearance. He was taller than the last time she saw him. His hair was longer yet still in a high ponytail. He wore clothes of the same design and style however these clothes were bigger indicating he put on even more muscle. Kaguya was tempted to use her byakugan to look under his clothes but stopped herself. Finally, her eyes looked into his unique cross-like eyes that shined brightly. They filled her with warmth when she looked at him, however...something was wrong.
