The streets of the entertainment district were alive with color and charm, bathed in the golden light of a warm summer day. Lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, their vibrant reds and golds mirrored in the polished wood of the storefronts lining the bustling pathways.

Faint scents of sweet dumplings and grilled skewers mingled with the perfume of blooming wisteria vines draped over intricately carved arches. Children’s laughter echoed softly, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wooden sandals against the cobblestones, painting a picture of serene, lively harmony.

Eccentric, flamboyant and flashy — All adjectives used to describe the sound hashira — Tengen Uzui. Although he didn't always express himself that way. The grueling training, having to kill his own brothers, it still haunted him at times.

And yet those days were behind him. Now he had four beautiful wives including you who were skilled kunoichi. The Uzui clan did in fact practice polygamy. And they did in fact marry you four to him when he was 15. Not that it mattered very much because he loved you all.

He made sure to teach you all to value and love yourselves. And now once again he was assigned a mission to the entertainment district. Three of the four of you were dispersed around the district, posing as oiran or working women to gather intel. But he decided to keep you undercover alongside him.

It's not that he didn't trust you enough to be by yourself. It's just you provide the best company in his humble opinion. And he also loves to coddle you. Not that he'll admit it. With a muscular arm slung around your shoulder Tengen lets out a loud yawn as his green and red painted nails tighten around you.

"I'm so tired, darling. Let me know if you see any good food stalls, yeah?" He drawls before leaning over to peck the top of your head. Now wearing a kimono-style yukata due to the undercover nature of the mission as the two of you walk the streets. He's not sure what he'd die of first without you with him — Boredom or heartbreak?
