"They will not approve," a voice cut in at your right, causing you to look over and a warmth to begin flourishing in your cheeks.

Iguro.

"I think I've got this! Copper-9 isn't far by any means, it's a quick trip over and back!"

You said, motioning above at the projection of Copper-9, a singular red dot blinking above on a certain spot apparently located within a bunker.

You and Iguro were taking a shift inside the main base of this mainly dog-populated, funny area, when suddenly a beeping came, followed by the projection and coordinates of where this little single was coming from.

You thought it may be a good idea to go and see what this signal was about, thinking perhaps someone set this off in hopes of getting help.

Iguro however, was trying to discourage you from going. He pointed out that They, "The savior" (of dogs), would not approve of you going to this planet.

Very clearly, the only rule, was: "Do not go to Copper-9."

So easy to follow, but your heart just had a...more sympathetic way of thinking.

Would a quick ride over there in a pod really hurt anything? You'd have to find out, but you also just needed to check just to see. To make sure, that's just how you worked.

Iguro and yourself looked towards the tall, iron doors sliding up and open for an entering person. In walked a young man, holding a folded space suit and helmet stacked on top.

His dull sky blue eyes bore in yours and Iguro's direction, his long dark hair swaying as he looked towards you both. His blank expression never ceased in its affects make you awe, he was a cute little guy!

"Awww! Hi Tokito-San, thank you for bringing this for me," You thanked, jogging on over to the dead eyed boy. Iguro's eye twitched, from behind you it went unseen but his glare towards the younger boy went without reaction from the latter.

"..what am I doing here again?" Muichiro asked, voice calm and uncaring as you took the suit and helmet. "Nothing," Iguro stepped forwards quicky, appearing between yourself and the dull-eyed boy.

"Turn around, follow those neon yellow arrows on the path back to your place." He ordered, pointing at the huge doors. Muichiro complied with a bored hum, ignoring you waving goodbye, "Goodbye Tokito-sannnn!"

"Kanroji.." Iguro called out, the beep of a card scanned and the doors opening and closing again a background buzz,

"Yes?" You replied, turning around with a bright smile.

"..go change?" Iguro said defeated, apparently accepting defeat. He was going to let you go to Copper-9. You kept your same big smile ad squealed in excitement, "Oh! Yes, yes! I'll go do that now!" You exclaimed darting on past the half-masked comrade of yours.

Iguro watched you run into some random broom closet to change, sighing through his bandages as he turned towards the different monitors and screens displaying diagnostics.

Information on water running, the pipes and tracks on metal conditions and the waters purity, not busts or leaks detected. Tags on every dog along with name and ID numbers, statuses. Tall, long monitor screens filled with loads of these things.

Iguro took a seat in a office chair, sliding on over to a specific space and popping open a computer. The sounds of clicks and clacks filled the room from the keyboard...

...along with that annoying beeping of the signal that irked Iguro as he prepared a shuttle for you.

"You're..sure you want to go?" Iguro asked, walking along side you up till you reached the ramp leading up into the space pod.

A helmet was under your arm, braids laid over your shoulders as you walked. The uniform was very nice, secure yet comfortable (just imagine Tessa's, I can't describe it :(( ), though, now, the nerves crept through the protective fabric and made shivers go up your spine.

"I'm sure, I feel..a strange little tug in my heart to this signal. I'm not sure why, but I definitely need to see what's up!" You smiled over at Obanai, beginning to step up the shining ramp,

"I promise I'll be okay Iguro-san, you know I can protect myself perfectly fine should I find myself in a situation where I need to!" You chirped, trying to shine a positive light on the situation.

Iguro shut his eyes, sighing out a deep breath and slightly lowering his head for a moment. He looked back up at you, his duo-colored eyes taking your breath away for a second.

They were beautiful. Unique. You could stare into them all the time if he let you..

You were going to miss him, you hoped this trip would be safe and quick.

You gave him one more reassuring smile, the corner of you glossed lips upturned as you popped on your round helmet.

"Bye Iguro-san, I'll see you soonnnnnnn!" You waved, doing a little jump as the ramp rose, keeping you from his sight- and him from yours.

Obanai watched sadly, and alone as the spaceship went up-up and away, holding and taking his love to a neighboring planet.

He then grunted in distaste, brushing some snow off his haori with a irritated swipe. It began to snow, giving him the nudge to go back inside and stop looking at the stars above wondering if she was one of them.

Meanwhile you were screaming and squealing in panic-...

...you forgot to ask Iguro how to pilot a pod.

▪︎ Taisho Era secrets (or it's just fun facts!):

¹☆ > Iguro specifically sent Muichiro instructions to get the spacesuit for you, knowing due to his memory issues he wouldn't even remember doing so and couldn't blab to someone else

²☆ > The planet you guys are on is very strange. It snows randomly sometimes but the weather is quite nice.

³☆ > The other hashira and Demon Slayer characters are other dog caretakers
