After with your battle with the Unicorn Bushi darkness started setting in.  The team divided, Togashi Udon (Skip) , Akodo Kuno (Josh), and Suzume Sousha (Rishard) went off to the nearest road shrine while you, Shosuro Keshijo, and Hida Oku went to the nearby stream where you found an abondoned hut.  Oku decided to get some rest and Keshijo went to the stream to purify his spirit.  You took watch plus the quiet is relaxing.

As you walk the area your mind wanders.  "Did I get myself into too much trouble this time?"  You come to the stream and in the distance you spot Keshijo doucing himself in the cold stream water, weapons and clothes on the bank leaving him defenceless.  An arrow passes near his head hitting a nearby tree.  He doesn't react and moments later walks to the arrow pulling a piece of paper off it.  He reads it and it bursts into fire moments later.  You never do see who fired the arrow but you are positive it came from the trees.  Keshijo dresses and leaves for the hut.  No traces were left of the mystery person (people?)
