Walking in the dark, Umashi glanced up at the crescent moon above that signified just as much the ending of a month as it did the symbolic end of an era. Recognizing that he no longer would need to have to feel the strong urge to protect and shelter those around him in the light of day, he appreciated the time that he'd now have to pursue other things that would strike his fancy. For him, the ability to now seek his own interest was one that greatly excited him, time alone with his family, time alone with his wife, and indeed time alone with himself. Walking to the rendezvous point through the dark expanse of the Greater Fire Country allowed him to truly reflect on all the adventures that he'd had up till now.
Stopping upon hearing the sound of a twig breaking, Umashi turned around, quickly grabbing a scalpel from his pocket and aiming it right around where the neck of his opponent should have been but he stopped short of striking the blow. Standing before him was a man who looked exactly like him minus the fact that his eyes were a piercing shade of gold. Kin Joka raised his arms in a manner speaking to not wanting to get assaulted as he chuckled and took a step back. "Chiiiiiil, Umashi! You gotta stop being so uptight! Besides, you wouldn't knowingly shank your doppelganger . . . would you?" Resting his scalpel, Umashi put it back in the pocket that it had come from. "You'll be surprised what I'm capable of, especially when it's as talkative as you are . . . Besides, you really need to stop doing that, it's unsettling." Mimicking Umashi once more, the Tsukumogami contract being morphed inti a more distinct looking personality but still remained looking like Umashi.
