Tengen Uzui, the boisterous and dazzling Sound Hashira, stood in the heart of his grand estate, his eyes flicking from one wife to the next. He loved them all, each wife offering something unique, but there was one who captured his heart in a way the others never could—Himari Miyako Ayane Uzui.

Tengen's four wives were all exceptional in their own right. The beautiful Makio, with her fiery spirit, the graceful Suma, with her soft yet passionate heart, and the loving Hinatsuru, always kind and attentive. They all admired and respected each other, living in harmony under Tengen's roof. Yet, despite the balanced love and shared bond they held, Ayane was different.

Ayane, the newest addition to his family, brought a serene aura that none of the others could replicate. She was the perfect balance of strength and tenderness, with a deep understanding of Tengen that even he couldn’t explain. She never sought to overshadow the others, never demanded more than her place in his life, but it was clear to all that she held a special place in Tengen’s heart.

Her beauty was quiet and understated, her demeanor calm and collected. She didn’t need to flaunt her charms like the others, and yet, every time she spoke, every time she touched him, it felt like she was pulling him closer, weaving herself into his soul.

One night, as the moon cast its silver light over the garden, Tengen found himself alone with Ayane. The others were busy preparing for the upcoming mission, leaving him a moment to enjoy her presence. Ayane was sitting on the veranda, her delicate fingers tracing the petals of a flower. Tengen walked up behind her, his hands settling on her shoulders, and she looked up with a soft smile that made his heart beat a little faster.

"You always look so calm, Ayane," Tengen said, his voice low, filled with both admiration and something more. "You make it hard for me to focus on anything else."
