➷Only During the Night➷ // ☆Renkaza/Akaren Fanfic☆

🌟Conversational⚠️(?)

What upppp, *cOuGh* anyway, my brother finally started roleplaying with me again so yippie! I apologize for croaking(dying lmao) in general, I could've kept updating my Backstage story but I didn't.😔

[QUICK NOTES]
I'm kind of changing my writing style, if that's what you call it, often and I feel bad for that too. So from now, when a character is thinking I'll probably put it in bold. When someone talks it will still be in italics. I'm also trying to space out paragraphs- ☠️

Words: 1,398😚

Hours past and Uzui still refused to leave Kyojuro, keeping Mitsuri with. Shinobu also dropped off some food for the three of them.

Akaza, who had fallen asleep in his bed drawing various sketches of the Hashira's broken blade, even sketched the Hashira based off memory. After soundlessly sleeping, he woke up with a small groggy sound, inhaling slowly before sitting up from his bed and his artwork. A pencil stuck to his cheek when he rose, confused, he picked it off and tossed it by his sketchbook filled with sketches.

"Hm. Maybe I'll find it later." Rengoku told his two visitors figuratively, with a smile. He then started munching on the food Shinobu gave them. "Thank you Kocho!"

"Thanks Kocho!" Was heard from Tengen, chowing down on food.

As Mitsuri began eating as well, she ate at a decent pace. Still a bit faster than normal people. Next thing she knew, she heard both of the boys say 'umai' perfectly in sync. She was confused for a moment before catching on that Rengoku said it because of his state in injuries and Tengen said in just to be a tease. She held back a chuckle.

After Rengoku took his share, he let the other two finish before he took the food tray on the nightstand beside him.

"...Hey, Kyojuro? What does your scar look like? How big is it? Does it still hurt?" Tengen began overflowing Rengoku with questions, almost giving no time to answer. He then stood up, only bc he was getting sore from sitting in the same spot for so long.

"Yeah... how are you doing with all your injuries? Kocho told us how shocking it was for you to even be awake!" Mitsuri whisper-yelled, "I-If you're comfortable enough to show us. I get it." She comforted, referring to as in case the injury looked too harsh.

"Ah, it sure does, I would be sleeping if it hurt too much." With that, Rengoku slowly unbuttoned his shirt showing his two concerned visitors what his scar looks like. Though it was bandaged, he knew how to put the bandage back on since he'd paid attention to how he even took it off.

"Oh.. my.. Very flashy of you to even be managing, Kyojuro!" Was heard from Tengen. All he did was stand there flamboyantly, his hands on his hips. A certainly expected answer.

"I-I... how! Are you sure you feel alright??" Mitsuri slightly covered her mouth in worry, trying her best to not seem rude, but comforting, in a way. 'A scar like this makes Rengoku-san look so strong! How awesome of him. It's a miracle for him to be alive.' She told herself in her head.

"Yes, do not worry so much, Kanroji." Rengoku seen that Tengen was 'examining' the injury and began checking for others, of course, after approval.

Tengen leaned in and sat on one knee temporarily, checking Kyojuro's injuries. He tried not to make it seem like he was... eyeing him, but he respected Rengoku enough to earn trust. He was his best friend, after all.

Mitsuri's gaze switching between the two, she tried changing the subject again. The silence was enough awkward as is. "So, Rengoku-san... a-are you going to uhm.. r-retire? I-I, just had a thought, considering how injured you are. I mean, I hope you do not, b-but I will respect your ch!-" She was cut off her own sentence.

Once the one and only Uppermoon three rose from his slumber, he raised his arm and covered his mouth while he yawned and stretched, exhaling afterwards. Then he collected his art supplies and put it all away, glancing out in the world to see that it's nearly dark.

After looking outside, he watched the sun go down then climbed out of his hidey hole and walked in the forests. He strolled along and along until he saw an opening which happened to be a field. He recognized the area around it and figured it was close by the mansion his sweetie was at.

He sort of wandered around the area to familiarize himself with it. He picked some pretty flowers and walked in the woods for a little while. Then he heard water nearby, he followed the sound and found a small river. He saw a waterfall connected to it, he stood by some rocks and gazed at the water for a few moments, completely dazed by it's beauty.

"Kocho says that I have to be here for about... well, months. In order to even begin training." Rengoku had cut off Mitsuri with a huff, a little saddened because of it.

"Damn. Well that sucks." Tengen stood up again, hands still on his hips.

"Aw! How unfortunate... we'll be here for you, Rengoku-san!" Mitsuri replied, hoping for a response for her question.

As the blue striped demon lost himself in the waterfall's beauty, he slowly came back to the world and took a deep breath of the warm misty air. Afterwards he made his way to his original destination; the butterfly mansion.

"As for your question, Kanroji... I-" Kyojuro sighs. "Cannot provide an answer just yet." He replied, a sudden boost of positivity in his tone. "What about young Kamado, the yellow haired boy, and the boar head? Are they alright??" Feeling as it is part of his responsibility, he wanted to make sure the boys made it out fine, hoping they each were in a easier state of injuries than he, himself was.

"I've not taken the time to check, I just got back from a mission today. Seeing you immediately after." Tengen started walking/pacing around the room, but not in any manner of nervousness. It wasn't exactly boredom, he just felt as if he needed to move around to prevent being sore due to being so still for a certain amount of time. "Kyojuro, I hope you will heal greatly so that the three of us, two of you, or even the two of us are able to go on missions again. If you wish to retire, then I will forever remember your title of honor. The way I view you will never change!" He exclaimed enthusiastically, not even noticing that what he just said had sent chills down Rengoku's back. Why..?

"I have not had a visit with those three, either. I hear they aren't in the best conditions, but they are doing well. They have been sleeping a lot. Speaking of sleep... Rengoku-san, are you sure you don't want an?-" Mitsuri gets cut off, again... this time by the sound Hashira.

Akaza slowly made his way towards the butterfly mansion, making his journey past the Wisteria trees and the solid dirt beneath him. He took his time since it was still early, quietly jumping the wall and then climbing up to Kyojuro's window to hang off the ledge once more.

ANNDDD another tiny cliffhanger. Well, 2 of 'em? Eh- Heh, I may have spilled a lil too much tea again sooo uhm. The next chapter might be a delayed- Especially since my brother starts school in like 2 days, including today. I start school in 4 days.
