Kyojuro seemed to be visiting with a younger one who looked much like himself, laughing and talking with them. They seemed to be making jokes that were funny only because they were stupid. "Haha! So... My little Sen, how have you been?" The younger one laying in a cautious spot right in Kyojuro's lap, he seemed to be laughing harder than the adult, as expected. He stopped laughing and looked up at his lookalike, "Mm... It's been- difficult.. b-but I've been okay."

Akaza noticed the smaller lookalike in Kyojuro's lap, and felt a pang of jealousy run through his cold blooded veins. He cautiously watched the lighthearted scene, making sure not to be seen or heard. He let himself fall from doing a pull up, letting his arms rest before he did another pull up and stayed there in order to see better.

"Good. Better than terrible, right?" Kyojuro chuckled, ruffling the little one's hair before gently pulling him into a hug, digging his face in his hair. "I guess you're right." Feeling Kyojuro ruffling his hair and dig his face into it, Senjuro chuckled and leaned into the hug. "What are you doing?" He asked with a curious smile.

Again, Akaza felt the jealous tendencies, he stayed quiet as he looked at the two of them, his mind racing with curious thoughts. Who was this small version of him? Brother? Cousin? ...CHILD? He let himself fall again but due to the weakening strength in his arms, bro nearly slipped off the ledge of the window. He quickly grabbed hold of the ledge with his hand instead of his fingertips, making a little noise outside the window.

"Loving you." Rengoku replies playfully, taking in the little one's scent and savoring the moment of him in his arms. "Well... It's after dark my little Sen, and you should head home to rest. Have someone walk you there, okay? I unfortunately cannot, I wish I could." "Awh.. okay.. " Senjuro, too, enjoyed the moment before he felt the arms around him removing themselves. He stood up, being given a kiss on the forehead by Kyojuro. "I love you." He quietly spoke, hearing a 'I love you too' before being sent out the door.

Akaza cringed as his grip on the ledge made noise. He forced every muscle in his body to be stiff and completely still. Then slowly relaxed enough to do a pull up and peek back into the window. He saw the small lookalike leave and silently watched Kyojuro, noticing his sad expression, in which he took a deep breath and put on a smile, then slowly turning his head to glance out the window. He doesn't ever remember opening it or having anyone else open it, so he guessed Shinobu did while he was asleep. Although, he questions how long it's been open for. With that, he lays back down and sighs, already accepting the boredom that comes along with the time for healing. He really hates it, but he tries clearing his mind before falling asleep. The pink haired man saw saw him turn his head and immediately fell down, hanging off the ledge once again. He stayed there before he peeked up at him, seeing he was going to sleep, he climbed onto the ledge and gazed at Kyojuro while he slept. Trying not to be creepy as possible.

Rengoku slept rather uncomfortably, stirring ever so often. But he managed to stay asleep... For the whole next day. Akaza was in his hidey hole, not sleeping due to yesterday so he was painting instead. Art was one of his things he would do when he was bored, he did a variety of things art related, he painted, sketched, sculpted once in awhile, did whatever he could with what materials he had. Right now, he was painting fireworks on a black canvas.

All of a sudden during a deep slumber, Tengen knocked on Kyojuro's door, barging into his room and yelling, "KYOJURO!! ARE YOU OKAY..?" He ran over to Rengoku's bedside. "Ahh! Uzui!! He was sleeping... :<" Mitsuri slowly walked in, "Sorry." She apologized, sitting at the end of Rengoku's bed. Startled, Kyojuro jumped up, questions being throwm at the poor guy. "W-Wha... I- I'm fine?" He could barely even comprehend. "WHO DID IT. ILL KILL THEM WITH ONE SLICE." Tengen was for some reason getting worked up. "Uzui! Calm down! Please?" Worried about Rengoku, she gave him a soft smile.

Akaza silently painted small strokes of red and blue on the canvas, adding tiny details to the lights. He continued doing this all across the canvas, creating a scenery of fireworks illuminating the sky with their bright lightings. He continued to paint, adding small details here and there until soon enough his firework scenery was completed. He finished it off with his signature at the bottom, white paint, so it shows, of course.

"I.." Rengoku paused. "...I don't exactly remember-" What? No way he lied. Was it a lie..? "..What did they do to you..." For a moment Tengen became sad. Very worried. "What do you remember, Kyojuro..?" "Hey, it's okay."  Kanroji gave a worried smile, trying to comfort the two. "What? It's not like I have memory loss, Uzui. I just... May not remember what happened during my mission." Kyojuro sat up, wincing slightly. "Kocho said you had an Uppermoon." Uzui raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms before sitting beside Mitsuri on the end of Kyojuro's bed. "Well, he may have remembered then." Mitsuri told Tengen, then looking at Rengoku. "You've been sleeping a lot, right?" Kanroji had seen that he nodded, then she gave Uzui a look of 'See? I was right.'

Once Akaza finished signing his name, he stood up from his stool and backed up to gaze at his finished product. He was happy with the ending portrait. After he cleaned up his painting area, he sat down with his sketchpad and pencil then began sketching... the Hashira's broken blade..? Since when did he have that..?

Tiny cliffhanger! Now, this story might be a little delayed... I may have wrote too much- uhm anygays.
