Many people will argue over what makes a man.... This is no an issue an issue that I am willing to fight over; However, I will say that who he knows is intricate indeed....

The temperature was several degrees lower on this day than it had been the whole past week.... It was a sign that winter was beginning.... Two men had been traveling for quite some time now with each other and it had been quite a a few days since either had see another person.... After nearly two weeks of continuous travel they came upon their destination.... The capitol city of Kyosadou stood vast before them with monumental gates agape.... Both were eagerly awaiting the day of rest and relaxation that lay before them.... Anxious as they were, neither could resist pausing to take in the grand scenery.... Just beyond the entrance was a wide bridge that was equally amazing in architecture, which spanned nearly a half mile over the Jiang Dong River.... The men gazed over the edge at the clearest waters they'd ever seen while walking towards the city.... Thought their arduous journey had taken them through dangerous and grueling locales, both seemed to fit in well among the citizens.... Their clothes were remarkably tidy as both had a sore spot for cleanliness.... Thus the royal blue and crimson red yukatas failed to stick out among the crowd even though it made an odd combination side by side....

"Once we cross this bridge we'll finally have some peace...."

"It has been a long time hasn't it?"

"Yes, as soon as we find an inn to take us up for the night I'll be off to finish up a few errands.... I'll probably find my own place to eat for tonight.... Besides, I want to look for some entertainment.... It's been far too long since I've had any fun...."

Now that's one thing that we can agree on.... I already have my festivities planned out.... There'sa good money in my pocket and I plan to treat myself well tonight...."

Well then it seems that only one thing remains.... Since we're splitting the bill for our lodging we need to decide on how much are willing to spend.... I don't mind a nice place, but lets not over do it...."

Nice.... Not fancy.... Agreed...."

As the travelers disappear into the crowd at the end of the bridge a wild looking foreigner stops at the spot where they were talking and leans far over the guard fail, gazing into the water....

"It looks like we've found our mark...." Claimed the wild one excitedly....

A dark plain looking man stops beside him....

"It does indeed.... We should stay close and watch their actions.... Once we have dealt with those two no one will be in the way for us to achieve our goal...." The Dark one blandly spoke....

"Those two may not pose much threat, but our goal.... They happen to be the two most fierce warriors in the world mind you...." Stated the wild one with a queer look....

"We'll be fine...." The dark one stated....

"Oh.... Aren't you the protagonist?" Scoffed the wild one mockingly....

"What?" Asked the dark one confusedly....

"Nevermind...." The wild one muttered....

At that, both men disappeared into the crowd....
