The guide motioned for his group to take cover. They did as they were told, hiding in various bushes and behind trees. There was silence in the forest.
Their patience was rewarded a moment later. A tall man with flowing dark hair walked into view. He wore a brash white and red cape with a high collar that swirled about him as he walked. The swirling revealed the presence of a sword underneath the cape, though its owner seemed more concerned with carrying the two large sake jugs he held underneath both arms.
The man paused for a moment, looking about the forest, his eyes narrowed in disgust. But whatever he saw was not enough to make him drop the precious sake.
No one in the group breathed until he was past. Once he was sure of their safety, the guide gestured for them to gather around.
"Now that, my friends, was an example of the rare Sojuro Hiko. Note the swirling white cape with red trimmings. Truly a magnificent sight." He headed off down a forest path, expounding upon their next target, Saitou Hajime, his group hanging on his every word.
