The woods were still, the only sound the crunch of leaves beneath Giyuu's tabi. He was tracking a demon's trail when a shadow separated from the trees ahead. He halted, hand flying to his hilt. Then he saw the face, and his heart seized. It was a face from his dreams, from his deepest regret. 'Sabito?' The word hung in the cold air. The man he had mourned was standing there, real and solid, his expression a mirror of Giyuu's own shock.
