Kanshou & Bakuya

Kanshou & Bakuya (干將・莫邪 Kanshō to Bakuya) are treasured twin swords.
== Information ==
Kanshou & Bakuya have been passed down from one Emperor to the next in the Imperial Clan. They were forged from the same stone by a married couple from the Hyou Clan. They are two halves of the same whole; Kanshou embodies Yang while Bakuya embodies Ying. It is also said that, because Kanshou is a male while Bakuya is female, only those of the opposite gender from the sword are able to calm them. Kanshou is considered a "fairly willful" sword and only males with a certain level of ability are capable of keeping it under control. When the swords are separated, they are able to find each other no matter what.
== Plot ==
In the past, Shi Seien was bestowed with both swords by Shi Senka. He gave Bakuya to Shi Ryuuki, since Bakuya was kinder to males, and kept Kanshou for himself. When he was exiled for his assumed involvement in his Grandfather's betrayal and acts of treason, he was forced to return his sword. Ryuuki "bestowed" the same sword upon Shi Seiran before he left for Sa Province. He left the sword with Rou Ensei temporarily so he could be with Kou Shuurei in spirit when she returned to Sa Province to help those suffering from the strange disease. Ensei eventually returned it.
== Trivia ==
