Summary: While Shiori and Kohaku are shielded, someone else unexpectedly confronts the dark miko.

Shiori and Kohaku are relieved; the Elder’s scepter keeps them well cloaked within a shield, but Shiori doesn’t know for how long, and when she starts to feel the scepter draining on her youki, she tries to maintain her composure.

Kohaku, on the other hand, is more concerned with watching the scene unfold. The dark miko is talking to her brain-washed wolf youkai followers, proclaiming success with this past week’s mudslide on the villagers who spurned them.

When they murmur their collective affirmation, Shiori’s eyes narrow as she sees the dark purple energy pulsating from their eyes, which is more evidence of the miko’s control. What made the priestess turn dark, and why did she need to recruit youkai followers?

“It appears we have an audience,” she says, and instantly they freeze as her gaze circles around the forest. When her eyes do not fall on them, but to her left instead, they become interested in the new person on the scene.

The bushes rustle as a silver-haired boy steps out, and Shiori can’t believe he’s any older than her or Kohaku. Though, she and Kohaku remain silent as the young boy - no, wolf youkai, confronts the miko.

Shiori wonders if the boy even has a fighting chance, and she supposes Kohaku is speculating that as well.

“Vile woman, release this curse now!” he says, circling around her as the other wolf youkai growl at him.

“What are you going to do?” she challenges, and the teenage wolf is already baring his teeth.

“I'm going to get my brother back,” he says, staring at a younger boy in the crowd, controlled by the miko and taking offense against him. He continues, “And I swear, on the honor of my ancestors, I will kill you for turning Shinta against me!”
