Ucchi sat crisscrossed against the wall, his sword sitting against his shoulder.
He hated the thing, but a swordsman was nothing without his sword and besides..he could not bare to part with it. No, he really couldn't. He had attempted to discard it before only to find that he could no let it go no matter how hard he tried.
He hated to admit, but it was a part of him now - the Wizard Hunter.
It had been two weeks since his ressurection. He had spent the night in many different places, attempting to adjust to this strange moden world. Three days ago, he discovered this abandoned shrine from the Sengoku Era. He liked being here for it felt like home.

Nichol walked up to the old shrine, taking in the view in full detail. He'd been told that the shrine had a connection to his family, and decided that he had to visit it for himself. Despite being abandoned, the shrine was in rather good condition, and felt very warm and inviting.

Ucchi grinned, "Time to eat!"
He lifted the lid of his stew and tasted it - just right. Luckily, this shrine had a decently stocked kitchen and Ucchi knew his away around him. A samurai's first duty is to his lord, his sensei would say, but his second duty is to his stomach.
"Itadakimasu!"

Feeling a bit uneasy, Nichol decided to enter the shrine, looking to see if he could find a place to rest, and hearing a voice that sounded strangely similar to his, yet at the same time, quite different.

Ucchi was enjoying his meal when he heard a faint noise that sounds suspiciously like footsteps.
He shook his head, no one ever came to visit this shrine. It's walls withered and its god forgotten.
Truly the best place for a man that did not wish to be found.

As Nichol walked towards the source of the voice, he began to hear the sound of chopsticks, and increased his pace.

Ucchi stood perfectly still. The footsteps got louder and closer.
There was no doubt about. Someone else was there, but who?
The wizards he had tried to kill? But that was not his fault, his will was not his own at the time.
Besides how would they know where to find them. They do have powerful magic at their disposal..
Ucchi dropped his chopsticks and quietly slid in next to the old beaten down fridge, a perfect blind-spot for anyone coming in through the kitchen's only entrance.

Nichol entered the kitchen rather quickly and abruptly, but kept himself calm, speaking clearly. "Is someone here? I was told this shrine was abandoned, so I didn't expect a caretaker. Or are you a vagrant desecrating this shrine that my family protected for generations?"

Ucchi then hopped out of his hide place and rushed at Nichol, only to land at the man's feet in a humble bow.
"I apologize, I did not know this shrine belonged to your family. Please forgive me!"

Nichol looked down at Ucchi, then tilted his head a bit, curious. "S...Stand. I want to get a look at your face."

Ucchi nodded before slowly standing back up.
"Hmm," he said when he finally came face to face with the man, "You look familiar, have we crossed paths before?"

Nichol gasped, pointing to his own face, then to Ucchi's, then his own, and back to Ucchi again. "You...look like me."

He scratched his chin as he examined Nichol's face, "Are you sure? I do not see it."

Nichol reached into his jacket pocket, pulling out a mirror and holding it beside his face, reflecting Ucchi's face.

"Aaah, maybe.." he shook his head, "No, I apologize but I do not see the resemblance.
