'The warm feeling when the two bodies meet, the complete feeling when the two souls approach, the complete longing when both pairs of eyes stare'

Yeah, that's what Kanroji is feeling right now. A longing he could no longer endure. The owner of Light Green's eyes was pensive, while staring at the sky that looked bright at that time.

It did not feel like for 1 year he had lost a person who was able to make his heart soar high and scratched in an instant. Kanroji closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the gust of wind that was quite comfortable for him at this moment. His eyes opened again when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind,

"Araa. araa. you're here apparently."

"Ah, Shinobu-san?" with a flash Kanroji stood up and smiled knots towards the girl he called - Shinobu - one of the surviving Hashira today.

"Rengoku, take us all to the Fireworks Festival, you want to come with us-?" Shinobu looks very careful when saying the word 'Fireworks Festival' he, afraid of hurting the girl in front of him.

"Of course I'll come along, Shinobu-san!" chirping him who seemed happy when he heard the news he was waiting for every year, Shinobu patted Kanroji's shoulder for the second time as if to say,

'What's wrong, if you can't come, we can't force you.' Kanroji nodded in understanding while maintaining the smile he always showed to those who knew him.

Exactly, at 7 pm the green-eyed girl wears a Pink Yukata, with a Sakura Flower motif surrounding her Yukata. The hair that is carried out lately and slightly tucking the decoration around his hair makes it look charming. He then rushed to the Sumida River to enjoy the Fireworks Festival. The beauty of the swordsman made the person who looked at him as if he was hypnotized by himself.

Sumida River, where the Fireworks Festival takes place or often known as Hanabi Festival. Earlier, Shinobu said she would wait for Kanroji to be on the banks of the Sumida River along with the other Hashira.

Kanroji looked at some people who had crowded the area of the Sumida River, as usual every year many people came to this place, as well as many people, either to remember the 1 year event or just enjoy the beauty of the 20,000 Fireworks that have been prepared.

"Here, Kanroji!" he shouted when he found out that Hashira Cinta was in confusion looking for her existence.

"At last Kanroji came! Take it easy I will take care of you to replace her." said one of Hashira who was welcoming the arrival of the mochi-haired girl.

"Rengoku-san, there's no need to overdo it like that." she chuckled softly.

Rengoku, the Fire Hashira only smiled wryly when he realized that there was a sad smile inside Kanroji. If he could, he wanted to hug the girl to just give her a hug, a hug that would let him slowly detach from the man, but Rengoku is too afraid to hug Kanroji even if only 1 second.

'Kanroji, promise. If one day I am born again into a human being, will you marry me?'

Without realizing that his tears were dripping on their own, Kanroji recalled the incident. Something he never wanted.

#Flashback On

Tuesday, 09/03

Today is a very happy day for Kanroji. The reason is, tonight he will go enjoy the Fireworks Festival together with the man he likes. In fact, Kanroji has prepared clothes that are suitable for him, namely pink Yukata and brownish ties, of course with cherry blossom motifs that he really likes. Yeah, this is one of the Yukata giving people who's gonna ask her out tonight.

"Uwahho! I can't wait to wear this." she said, standing in front of the mirror holding the Yukata.

Time continues to rotate every second, it does not feel the clock has shown at 7 pm.

Kanroji hurried to get ready. It didn't take long, just 30 minutes she already looked beautiful with the Yukata she was wearing and a little makeup stuck to her face. Kanroji smiled with satisfaction towards the glass when fascinated with his own performance.

"Is this really me?" Kanroji held both of his cheeks, as if not believing that this was really him. He was still faithful to look at the glass in front, until a knock made him inevitably leave his dressing table.

"Ah.. Iguro-san is?" the mochi unraveling girl was slightly surprised by the appearance of the man she called out to - Iguro - that, she was the Serpent Hashira.

It is clear that there are red bursts on both cheeks of this man, it turns out he was amazed by the appearance of the girl tonight. He could not look at Kanroji any longer, he could have died in this place,

"You ready?" Iguro turned his gaze towards the side while covering his face with one hand. Kanroji who looked at the strange nature of Iguro frowned.

"Guro-san? You all right?" he said a little worried and Iguro shook his head quickly.

"Let's go." the man who was shorter than him was holding out his hand in front of Hashira Love. Hashira happily received Iguro's hand.

Walking side by side with someone, under the moonlight and the dim lights on the street is one of Kanroji's wishes. He gazed at the several stars that seemed to shine brightly while joining hands with Iguro making his heart flower at this time. The man glanced at Kanroji who was enjoying the view that night.

The two of them continued to walk until they reached a bank of the Sumida River. Yes, they will enjoy the beauty tonight accompanied by colorful light above the sky.

Several people were gathering around the Sumida River, preparing to enjoy the Fireworks that would glide over the sky. Unexpectedly, a hysterical shout from the end of the River made the night a bit rowdy, Kanroji frowned and stared around. While Iguro kissed some of the Devil's presence around the Sumida River.

"Stay beside me, Kanroji." he said while preparing the katana he had brought before, Iguro was afraid that there would be events that were not wanted and turned out to be true.

The tringg!

A demonic figure suddenly appeared in front of Iguro, the man's reflexes instantly fended him off with his katana.

"Kanroji, go. Let me face this demon" he said, holding back some attacks from the demon in front of him.

"Oi oi! Are you sure you can face me alone?" he underestimated Iguro.

"Close your mouth! I can't lose to a lowly demon like you."

"Ck, so confident."

Iguro continues to fight with one of the demons and tries to keep him away from Kanroji. He did not know that his girl was fighting was busy facing the demons as well.

Kanroji glanced around, many citizens have been killed because of the actions of the Devil. His eye beads caught some of Hashira who happened to be in the Sumida River. He breathed a moment, at least there are friends here who also fight like himself and Iguro.

The man immediately rushed to search for Kanroji's whereabouts after killing some of the Devils blocking his net. His eyes widened when he saw the girl was injured by one of the demons Kanroji was facing. He rushed to help the girl and slashed the head of the demon that dared to touch hers.

"Stay here, let me and the others face them." Iguro guides Kanroji carefully, fearing that the girl might get hurt.

"NO, IGURO-SAN! DON'T GO THERE! YOU COULD DIE!"

Kanroji screamed hysterically when the man with his full name - Iguro Obanai - left him wounded by the actions of Muzan's men. Yes, a surprise to the Hashiras, not only the ordinary Devils that Muzan sent, it turns out that he sent the Devil 13 months on the night of the Fireworks Festival. Iguro intends to kill the devil, the devil who hurt the person he likes.

"Please treat him, don't let him go" he said before Kanroji shouted hysterically.

Wh why?

Why would he force it against a 13-Month Demon? What if he dies? You idiot! Stupid iguro-san!

"GUMA-SAN!!" call him once more, hoping Iguro returns.

"GET RID OF ME! I HAVE TO HELP IGURO-SAN, I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE IN VAIN!"

'Kanroji, let's meet again in my next life if I don't survive and at that time I will express my true feelings..' that was the sentence that Iguro said before leaving Kanroji who was injured due to the Devil's attack.

I kept running around, hoping to find something that would calm my heart.

Relax, because you can still smile.

Relax, because you're still next to me.

The wind continued to blow incessantly, scattering to and fro following the footsteps that continued away from the crowd. Like a dawn that never gets tired waiting for a beautiful night.

Flushing flashes of rosy hearing perfectly, forcibly breaking through even no matter to anyone.

"No, you can't leave without my permission!"

His breath was hunting as soon as his bead looked at the man lying helpless, his cry breaking as he knew who he was. The man who always accompanied his days, who always made him smile but suddenly he lay under the cold asphalt, which was,

"GOD-SAN!" The man smiled faintly as soon as he realized the arrival of the figure of the girl he had been waiting for ever since. His weak fingers tried to reach a face full of tears, a face that Iguro will miss later.

"It's okay, Kanroji." he muttered so quietly.

"If I were to be reborn into a human being..."

No, don't talk anymore.

"... I want to be with you at all times, Kanroji."

Thats enough. Stop talking nonsense, Iguro-san!

Again, he uttered nonsensical words. Why does he like to say such things?

Wh why?

Wh why?

Kanroji tightly hugged the man's lifeless body, his tears continued to fall without hentin as if understanding the condition of the owner.

In fact, my wings seemed to break by themselves when I saw you were lifeless.

"I promise.I will repay you.I promise Iguro-san!" he cried incessantly in front of Hashira Snake's body.

#flashback Off's.

That night should be a very happy night for the girl who is enjoying the atmosphere of Hanabi Festival tonight.

The Fireworks continuously filled the sky nonstop, and he unconsciously sobbed again making Shinobu who was beside him swiftly hug the girl,

"Here, he's quiet there.."
