A collection of unconnected drabbles about various characters. Most of these take place before the start of the series, so there won't be spoilers.

what's in a name
"Magatsu." Anotsu Kagehisa said the name slowly, as if tasting it. "Magatsu Taito."
He nodded, watching his boss from the corner of his eye, seemingly nonchalant but in truth nervous, and annoyed about it.
"As good a name as any. How do you write it?"
Still quiet, he carved the word on the tree they were leaning against. Anotsu stared at it intently, face as impassive as ever. "I see," he finally said, and nothing more.
They sat in silence, swords resting at their feet in the afternoon heath, the sign for "bad luck" drawn on the tree between them.
I just found it kind of interesting that the kanji for Magatsu is one that means "bad luck", "disaster," or "villain." Magatsukami would be "evil gods"...
