The last thing he remembered, was finding a resting spot with Sagiri. It was in a relatively clear spot of the Island, so they could finally take a break and relax. Sagiri kept an eye on him, however, even as they fell asleep.

When he woke up, though... His 'executioner' was nowhere to be found. Sagiri wasn't there. He looked around, bewildered. Did she go to look for food or something? He thought, blinking apathetically. Maybe I should go find her.

Then, before he could really blink, Gabimaru was falling through a portal. Who knew what the rift took him too, but when he came back to his senses, his eyes widened slightly.

This wasn't Shinsenkyo... or Japan, for that matter—or, at least, not his Japan.
