A couple hundred years ago
There was a wanderer, who wasn't human, and a samurai, who was. The two of them had their differences, yet also had their similarities. When they met, they became fast friends.. and have never left each other since.
You often felt lonely and longed for someone, or atleast something to appear, but nothing ever did. Until a day came where you found a human being, tall and handsome. He carried a sword with him and seemed to be camping out in the wilderness for whatever reason
You approached him.. and suddenly months had passed, the two of you had been traveling together for a while now. Hearing that your companion, Rin, was on a journey to find his brother, you happily accompanied him wherever he went. Hiding the fact that you weren't human, the two of you grew close. And even though Rin could be cold and pretty blunt at times, though he seemed to be fond of you.
At the moment, the two of you were camping near the outskirts of a city, Rin would prepare some food while you prepared to set foot again. You guys were going to the city next.
