Summary: A teenage Shiori wants to do something more with her life, and everything changes when she meets a traveling pack of pacifist bat youkai, as well as a handsome demon slayer.
Next Generation: Shiori Chronicles
Chapter Sixteen: The Underdogs
Shiori looks up into the sky, hearing Tomoe's caw as she soars above their camp. With her, the raven youkai brings Kirara, the large fire cat youkai who once traveled with Kohaku's sister Sango but now fights and travels with him.
Well, except for these last months when Shippou's needed her help for defending his people.
Kirara and Tomoe come back without the kitsune, and Shiori feels a pang of regret at not being able to see the fox again.
Kohaku and Kai are both alerted by Tomoe and Kirara's arrival, and Kohaku watches as Tomoe circles around them in the air, waiting for him to hold out his arm so she can perch. She crows at him, holding out her foot with a scroll tied around her leg.
Kohaku frowns instantly when he reads it. “Shippou cannot be torn away from the kitsune in the West. He was even reluctant to send back Kirara.”
“She'll still be a formidable ally,” Shiori says, patting the large cat's pelt as she lands between her and Kohaku. Kirara turns and nuzzles her old friend, but she meets Shiori with a sniff. Shiori tenses for a moment, hoping the cat youkai will accept her. Tomoe stares at her as well, and Shiori can't help but feel awkward in front of Kohaku's youkai friends. Tomoe cocks her head slightly before she flies into the sky again after Kohaku thanks her.
Kohaku turns to Shiori, his touch surprising her. “This is it, everyone. We are the only ones going up against the miko.” He squeezes Shiori's shoulder lightly. “I'm counting on you to tap deeply into that Elder's scepter.” He gives her a confident nod. “I've seen it do tremendous things.”
But Shiori doesn't know if she shares the same confidence.
