I know there had been a ton of Kadzuki stuff lately and that's not what most of you came here for and this will be the last one centering around her for a while. I'm just trying to build some stuff up for later. ;)
--------------------------------------------
"Again I'm really sorry about your father..." I muttered an apology while climbing back into my basket.
After what happened we quickly check to make sure he was okay... well... Kadzuki and Senjuro did while I was to busy panicking in the background. Talking about I'm too young to go to jail. Kadzuki reminding me that I was a demon and jail was the least of my worries.
We just left him there, the sibling saying it was better if we did. We all weren't to bed, they only had enough beds for each member of the family that was living there. So I either had to sleep on the floor or snuggle up real close to Kadzuki. Well... I choose the latter.
It was early the next morning and Kadzuki and I were preparing to leave and continue towards our mission.
"Ah! Really don't worry about it. After you guys went to bed he woke up and went to buy some booze. And really, this happened when Tanjiro stopped by... it's a normal occurrence now..." Senjuro said to put me at rest.
I forgot Tanjiro came here a while ago. After he woke up for the first time. It wouldn't be nice if he prepared me for this tho. Which is disrespectful since he didn't. "Huh..." Was all I said as kadzuki picked me up with the basket with one hand and put me on her back.
"Alright! We're heading out!" Kadzuki exclaimed happily as she rubbed the top of Senjuro head. "Kyojuro should be here in a day or two, so keep a lookout! I'll see you around!" She waved at and began to walk off. I did the same while pulling the lid to sit on top of my head. So the only thing showing was my forehead and eyes.
After we walked a yard or two I decided to spark a conversation. "So where are we headed again?" I stared up at the backside of Kadzuki's face, seeing nothing but a load of hair, the back of her jaw, the tip of her nose, and her eyelashes.
"An old court palace from the Edo period. it's two the east, not far from here. We should get there early in the night if we don't take any breaks."
"Hmm... A court palace huh?..." I paused to think for a moment. "Like a palace, emperors would have their wives stay at? Those weren't very common even when courts existed. Mostly the wives would have their own estate..." I questioned. Interested in seeing a court palace. You don't see them often in history books or scrolls.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I'm guessing this place might have been an experiment to try and dave space but the wives probably weren't getting along..." She paused for a moment. Deep in thought. "I don't know. But it's old and still manages to stand. Reports of weird noises coming from it and the villagers nearby said hey can't find a way to get in... Like it's completely blocked off."
"Hm... strange..." I mumbled.
We continued to walk for a while. I watched different trees pass by, watched some flower shimmer, and glow in the sunlight as we went by. Watched fished swim around in a stream we passed. Gazed at some open fields with ling whispy grass flowing in the wind. I hummed pleasingly to myself as I listen to the nature around me and feeling the wind comb through my hair.
All of this was stuff I took for granted before.
I released a small pleased sigh as I took in my surroundings. While glancing around my eyes got caught on the sun shining on Kadzuki's exposed shoulders. I turned my head fully to look at the tan exposed skin.
While I was subconsciously staring I noticed the muscle moving around as she walks. I let my eyes trail further down her exposed upper half of her arm. Finally noticing that she was pretty built. I could see the definition in her arm. The Ridgid shades making up her arm.
