Tengen's POV.
Hinatsuru, Makio, Suma and I were all sitting around a table, a nervous energy overflowing the room. "What did you wanted to talk about?" I asked, giving Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma a pointed look. "We know it's Shinobi tradition to have three wives but it feels like we're missing someone. Like we need a fourth person." Hinatsuru started. Suma looked away nervously.
I paused, thinking about what she said. A fourth spouse?

*timeskip a few months*

I was on the porch looking out at my garden. "Makio, Hinatsuru, Suma," I turned "I'm going to look for a fourth spouse. You all said it feels empty here for some reason whatsoever so I'm going to respect your wishes."
Makio and Hinatsuru nodded. "It's probably time anyway." Makio said.
I later arrived at the demon slayer corps HQ. I saw Kyojuro making my heart skip a beat.
"Oh, hi, Tengen!" He exclaimed, bounding up to me. "Hi-" I began, soon to be cut off.
"Tengen, I heard you'll be going out for a while." Master Kagaya said, dipping his head respectfully. "Oh! Yeah, about that. I will have to go for a month or so to search for a new wife.
Everyone was saying how it felt 'empty'."

Kyojuro's expression dropped as he looked down to the ground, who became suddenly very interested in his shoes. "K-Kyojuro do you want to come?" I stuttered, stumbling over my own words. He raised an eyebrow. "For such an occasion like this that seems odd but alright."
Great. He thinks I'm weird now.

Kyojuro quickly gave me one of his priceless smiled before he murmured a quick sure as he scurried off to pack his items. I met Kyojuro at the front gate, greeting him with a small wave.
We sat in an awkward silence before Kyojuro began. "So.. Where do we start..?"
"I'm not sure. We just have to wait to run into some crazy other Shinobi lady and try to marry them." I scratched the back of my neck. Kyojuro's jaw was hanging open.
"Thats how you get married?!? Since when?!" I snorted, laughing until I had no more breath left. "Of course not! I was kidding! We usually get arranged through our houses but that's not going to happen." Kyojuro looked down, his face tinted a soft pink. "Would you like to get something to eat in the meantime?"
My eyes widened, face flushed a light red. "Oh- sure."
