Setsuka walked along the streets by the stunning silver moonlight, bored. Apart from disobeying her master's last wish and trying to track down his killer, life was pretty dull. At the end of the road, there was a patch of grass next to a little river. She sat by the river and watched the pink Ume (Cherry blossoms) fall into the river. She thought of the time she had nowhere to go and wandered a town, just like what she was doing now. And she played the images of her being shunned by almost everyone because of the way she looked, and how that kind, warm-hearted man had taken her in.

"I heard you crying loud,

all the way across town.

You've been searching for that someone,

and it's me out on the prowl,

as you sit around feeling sorry for yourself.

Don't get lonely now.

And dry your whining eyes.

I'm just roaming for the moment, sleazing my backyard.

So don't get,

so uptight you've been thinking about ditching me.

No time to search the world around,

'cause you know where I'll be found,

When I come around."

Setsuka wondered why most of the people had looked upon her with such cruel eyes. It wasn't as if she was the most ugliest woman in the world. In fact, she was beautiful. Her silky black hair was long and plentiful, but she had it in a stunning Geisha-like hairstyle most of the time. Her eyes were the deep blue of the night sky, and they were elegant, even though native Japanese people would have brown eyes. Her face was whiter than a Japanese person's face, but was radiant nonetheless. Her long, silk Kimono mirrored her beauty, light pink with vibrant blue and yellow at the edges and a big brown obi.

"I heard it all before,

so don't knock down my door.

I'm a loser and a user so,

I don't need no accuser,

to try and flag me down because I know you're right.

So go do what you like.

Make sure you do it wise.

You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing,

was ever there,

you can't go forcing something if its just not right."

Setsuka watched the Ume glide above the calm water, and fall. She reminisced the way her master praised her for her skills in Iaido; she was a quick learner. She devoted herself to the training, just for him.

"No time to search the world around,

'Cause you know where I'll be found,

When I come around."
