Kousai stood on the edge of the water, the sand between his toes, hands in his pockets of his swim trunks. The sea breeze gently brushed his his face, caressing his cheek like a mother caressing the cheek of her child. For a moment fond memories resonated in his mind, able to vividly see every memory. though he couldn't deny that part for this was due to Takaya's Blood Demon Art, forcing to relive memories from his past. It had been a quite a bit since he had thought about things before his brother's passing, warm memories about his parents, and talks with his grandfather. That was a family dynamic that he has missed, never being right with his parents after leaving home. There was at the very least one thing he kept from his folks to always remind him of better times, his guitar which laid upon a towel on the beach.

A smile etched itself upon face, his shining with a fondness for the life he did have. He peered over the clear blue ocean, wanting every moment to be like this. Kousai had spent so much time fighting, so much time worried about life and death that he did get to have many moments like this. There were times that he did get to be truly happy, his head turning slightly so that Himari was in his periphery while his niece's face flashed in his mind. Maybe today would give them all a chance to remember the peaceful lives they once lived before becoming slayers.
