No one dared to step close to the unknown Samurai, the Samurai is a woman that was for sure. The kasa hat she wore covered her face making her aura ominous, her hair was tied in a low ponytail. She was always seen holding her katana, The police had tried to stop her a few times but it was deemed to be futile so they gave up seeing she has no ill intentions.

She always stopped by a restaurant and always order only water everytime she visited. She was strange, there was not much information about her. 

She had gotten herself the title "The Wandering Samurai" and "The Unknown Samurai" because of that.

Sitting down under a tree, no one seemed alarm as they had gotten used to her presence. They only ignored her and pretend as if she wasn't there or as if she was just a normal person. 

"The edict says no swords and you've got one" A young woman voice spoke drawing the attention of the unknown Samurai. 

"You're Battousai!" The young woman accused while pointing her wooden sword at the man, the unknown Samurai only watched the familiar young woman she had saw a few times.

"You're evil deeds end here. Ready!" She swing her sword as the man dodge in surprise, this earned a chuckle from the unknown Samurai. 

The young woman swing the sword over and over again while the man dodge trying not to get hit. The way she holds her sword, the way she swung it, it was clear that she was a beginner. 

"I'm not him!" The man tried to reason, the scene was amusing to the unknown Samurai. The man fell but she can clearly see that he did that on purpose. 

"Your humble servant is naught but a poor wanderer" he said trying to catch his breath

The young woman takes a good look at him and lower down her wooden sword.

"You believe me?" The man smiled while getting up

"Then why do you have that sword?" She asked

The man pulled out the cloth covering his sword "This is a back-blade" he explained 

"A back-blade?" The young woman asked in confusion 

"See?" The man pulled the sword out of its sheath making the young woman cautiously steps back "the cutting edge is on the back"

"The opposite of a normal sword" He presented 

"That won't kill..." She said after inspecting it, the man smiled in triumph "no" 

She handed him her handkerchief "thank you" the man smiled

"Who is that man?" He asked her while looking at the wanted poster.

"He claims to be from my fencing school. He kills people and leaves letters. Just like the old days" She explained and bowed walking away.

The man walks away too before stopping and turn towards the tree where the unknown Samurai was sitting before "huh?"
