Once upon a time there was a man under the sign of a crane. A man with silver hair like the snow and from such purity, wandering through the night of a cold winters day. He was hungry, hadn't eaten since three days as he reached Edo. As he crossed a bridge, he stopped halfway as he broke down. As he looked up he saw a pair of feet with sandals, then he lost consciousness. The next day he awakened from the sunlight tickling his nose.

//Was this all a dream?//, he asked himself.

He layed in a warm futon, next to him sitting an older wife as a man entered the room. He said that he was lucky he was found on such a cold day even animals don't come out of their warm shelter and he could have died from this and starvation. The old couple gave him a soup and said he should rest there until he felt better. A few days later he gained back the power to stand up and noticed a turmoil outside the room. As he followed the noise he saw a man lying on the ground and the older man kicking him. The white-haired man already understood this wasn't some nice family as more than a bandits hideout for he missed his purse and jewelery. First of all he didn't want to risk his life for the man on the ground, thinking he was just a small servant of these thiefs and leave. One last glance fell upon the man lying on the ground as he stopped by his feet. Instinctively the white-haired draw his sword and killed the punisher, stopped the ones trying to attack him for killing their boss. As it stopped the moon had already risen to the firmament. He put his sword away and reached his hand out to the person in front of him.

"I'm the prince of the north, Tsurumaru Kuninaga.", the white-haired introduced himself. "As thanks for rescuing me I'll give you back your freedom. As though it would be a greater pleasure for me if you stay with me, my friend."

The person with blue eyes looked frightened, yet surprised and repined with himself for a while, then took the hand offered to him. "Thanks for rescuing me. I'm sure I would have died soon from his behavior. I'm Mikazuki Munechika, you can call me Mikazuki, my lord. It would be a great honor if I could serve you.", the blue-eyed answered and earned a head-shaking from the other one.

"We are one under the moon. Be my friend, not my servant. Follow me and be welcomed in my family." The blue-eyed was speachless, never experienced such kindness. As he stood up, he smiled and finally left this place in freedom with the man under the crane to a new world...

The end...
