Arriving at the shrine, He stopped to admire the shear beauty of the plants surrounding the shrine. Elegant flowers in vivid hues, trees towering over like  guardians- It was truly a sight to behold.

“Do you think anyone is inside?” A curious question.

ONCE through the gates and at the shrine’s entrance, Taroutachi takes the time to look, and to listen–for human voices, or the soft tread of Kogi’s footsteps as he walks on tatami indoors.

He is met with silence.

“No people, at least.”

“Kogitsunemaru-dono doesn’t seem to be here either.” He takes a step towards the building, where a series of steps lead up to a closed door, and sits down on the stairs, beckoning Hotarumaru to join him.

“Now we wait. It shouldn’t take long.”

Already, the undergrowth around them is stirring–with bright eyes and flashes of fur from curious souls attracted by the presence of two tsukumogami in their realm.

Hotarumaru happily complied with the others invitation to sit next to him.

“ Where do you think Kogi went?”  he looked up at Taroutachi and tilted his head slightly. Hotarumaru hadn’t encountered everyone yet but he just assumed everyone else was here in this new world, since Kogi owned his own shrine.

“ Ohh~!” He perked up at the sight of rustling fur just beyond where they sat and pointed.

“ Did you see that!?”

This girl caught Hotarumaru’s attention quite quickly, she was wearing bright colourful clothes, different shades of pinks and yellows dressed the other girls body. While something like this wasn’t exactly new, seeing a certain other oodachi robed in extravagant furisodes, the style of clothes was something he has never seen.

“ Uwaa~ those colours are so bright! They’re really pretty!”

I’m really lacking in threads on here sooo like this for a non-event starter from are dear hotaru! capping at three for the time being!

He looked at the extended hand for but a moment before happily accepting it. His hand was easily engulfed by the others larger hand and it felt warm.

As long as it really wasn’t too far, Hotarumaru didn’t mind walking for a little while.

“ Foxes are cute! I really like their fluffy tails the most~” He looked up at Taroutachi and smiled.

[taroudachi-deactivated20180709]

IT was natural for him to smile back, so he does–all the way to the gates of the shrine. 

“Let’s pray for blessings first, for aruji’s sake.”

“And then, we can see if the keepers of the shrine are here.”

By that he means–the foxes, of course.

“ Heh heh~” He makes a happy little noise as the other squeezes him.

“ Mnn~ kay…” Protecting his master came first and foremost to him, what good a sword would he be if he didn’t?

“ Oh, no I’m not tired!” Jumping down from the taller one’s back he dusted himself off a bit then looked up at Taroutachi’s face- “ Is it a fun surprise?” His eyes lit up at the mention of something unknown.

[taroudachi-deactivated20180709]

HE thought of the foxes there, of the lone white messenger who had become a friend, comforting him in troubled times and leading him to secret places.

“Yes, I believe so.”

“If you are there, it should definitely be ‘fun.’”

Hotarumaru, a sword repaired by fireflies. And Taroutachi, a sword dedicated to the gods. Entering Inari’s realm like this–would their presence alone be enough to warrant an audience? Foxes were carefree creatures, but also fickle–but the oodachi was sure Hotarumaru would be welcomed with open arms (and a tail).

He extended a open palm, inviting the other to take it.

“Come. It is not far.”

And should the smaller oodachi accept, he would take them past shops and street corners, past crowds of curious eyes and the roar of busy intersections, into a wooded corner of Sector 004 and up a tall, tall flight of steps until they had ascended to quietude again.

“Do you like foxes, Hotarumaru?”

[hxtarumaru-blog]

“ Wha wha whaa!!” It’s as if the ground was roaring and suddenly Hotarumaru was thrown off by the shaking, almost into a crack.

Crumbling-

      Falling-

The buildings went in almost an instant and destruction ran rampant all around.

“ Ohh!? Sweets?” His face lit up at the other swords question. “ Sure I’ll take it!” Happily swiping the remaining chocolate from his hand and nibbling on it as he spoke, “ I didn’t think you’d like stuff this sweet.” Now that the taste has spread through his mouth.

[usumidori-blog]

“It was gifted to me, and the situation was one where it would’ve been rude to refuse. The merchant thought I might like it, but I don’t think sweets fit my palate very well.” 

…Or perhaps this particular chocolate is just excessive; he doesn’t know when he hasn’t taken much time to experiment.

“I was thinking to get some for my brother as a souvenir of sorts, but maybe there’s something else I should choose.”

[hxtarumaru-blog]

Hizamaru’s brother, Higekiri, to Hotarumaru was a sort of scary individual, but someone who is admirable in terms of his strength and willingness to lead , something he looked up to, something Hotarumaru wanted to become.

“ Hmm”- Hotarumaru pondered the others statement, what would Higekiri like? Certainly not something this sweet. “ Nnnn... AH!” an idea popped into his head after a few moments, “ How about something hand made?”

[hxtarumaru-blog]

“ Sneak me? Am I not allowed in? Boo that’s not fair!” pouting a bit he buries his face into his shoulders more. He should be allowed to be with his friends! But also now gaining the knowledge that his master, Saniwa, was also within the city made him feel even more at ease.

Maybe -

      Maybe- this so called city wasn’t going to be a bad place after all.

[taroudachi-deactivated20180709]

THIS is familiar, too–the lighthearted banter between swords, Hotarumaru’s pout as clear as day, even if Taroutachi cannot see it with his own eyes.

“I am sure no one will stop you if you tried,” he replies seriously–because the oodachi is strong, and Hotarumaru has proven himself with the mantle of leadership again and again in battle. “But do not forget our master.”

“He is human.” 

“We should do our best to follow the rules and protect him.”

He’s gone full circle by now, and Taroutachi stops before his sword, the other still resting on his back.

“Are you tired, Hotarumaru?” he tries to look behind him again, seeing a shock of pale hair and the edges of a hat. “If you are willing to walk, then there is something I wish to show you.”

If he remembered correctly, then Kogitsunemaru’s shrine should still be open this time of day.

“…This chocolate really is too sweet. Do you want it, Hotarumaru?” 

Even after his small experimental taste, Hizamaru still has a big chunk of it left–courtesy of a sweet woman at a confectionery store, who gifted him a rather large sample when he’d admitted to never have tried any in the past. Given it’s beyond rude to simply throw the remainder away, he really hopes the oodachi will accept his offer. Otherwise… well, he could work on nibbling at it for the remainder of the day, if he really committed himself to it…
