Tsukugi

One very lucky plant, two identical daggers, and an unwavering belief that strawberry milk solves most problems. Tsukugi was never suited for the sprawling society of Waterfall City; the constant bartering and chatter of the plaza were a grindstone on their nerves. They preferred the quiet company of the rushing water at the city's edge. It was there Mesuokami found them, not seeing an outcast but a hunter who moved with the patient certainty of a predator. An invitation was offered: join the wolves, hunt the demonic. Tsukugi agreed, but on their own terms. The shades stay on, hiding any flicker of camaraderie they might accidentally show. The milk is for them alone. They are an asset to the pack, but never truly a part of it.
