The moon was shining brightly down on the waters of hidden lake. A lone figure sat, cross-legged on the old dock built and forgotten long ago by whoever once lived in the area. A straw hat covered the figure's face, with the exception of his muzzle; which, like the rest of his body, was covered in a layer of reddish orange fur. He wore a long sleeved, light purple yukata* that covered just about his entire body. His tail poked through a hole that had been cut through the back of the yukata's bottom half. On the figure's lap layed a sheathed katana* with a seemingly over-decorated handle and guard.

The waters stirred as something slowly trailed across the lake. The quiet sound of a single paddle cutting through the water reached the fox-man's ears, which poked through two holes cut into his hat. He grabbed his sword and stood up calmly, slightly leaning on the handle of it.

"You are late." He said, tilting his hat up a little so that his striking blue eyes could be seen.

A soft thud was heard as the person in the boat stepped on to the dock. He knelt down and leashed the boat to one of the support beams before facing the kemono*. "No, Yuden ." He smirked. "You're just early." He said, walking up to Yuden. He was about a head taller, and dressed in simple cloth shirt and tan pants. His hair was short, almost crew-cut short, and jet black. He had a fairly muscular build, which one could easily see.

"I imagined that after so long, you'd have realized that our definitions of late and early are completely different things, Tenshi." Yuden smirked, turning and walking to a nearby sakura* tree. "So," he said, picking a single sakura petal off the tree. "have the hunters left yet?" Yuden had been isolated to this abandonned lake ever since an even larger amount of 'demon' hunters started appearing in Kyoto.

"Most of them." Tenshi replied. "It's down to the point where you can go back to Kyoto if you'd like."

Yuden thought for a moment, rubbing the single petal between his leathery fingers. He turned and looked over at Tenshi. "I would like to return." He said.
