"Long ago in Ancient Japan, it was said that a great shaman came into being by the name of Shiro Kitsune. Shiro traveled all over Ancient Japan and had a reputation as an exorcist and spirit handler. Countless people hired Shiro and in a short amount of time, he became very rich. He married a noblewoman from Kyoto and it was rumored that they had a child: a girl. In the meantime, nobles at the court of Kyoto began worrying that the shaman would one day decide to take control of the Japanese government and overthrow the nobles. They plotted against Shiro and decided to invite him to a special dinner next a river. During the dinner, one of the nobles took Shiro to the river and while pretending to chat in order to distract him, another pushed the unfortunate shaman into the river, where he was swept downstream and never seen again. Assassins who were hired by the nobles then murdered Shiro's wife. However, they were unable to find the girl. All they found was a diminishing blue fire and the crumpled up remains of a book…"
Yoh yawned, "Nice story Manta," Manta sighed. He knew this would be Yoh's reaction.
"I did a little searching, and I thought that this was kind of interesting. Don't you want to find out what happened to Shiro Kitsune's daughter?" Manta asked, hoping to get a positive reply from Yoh.
"Nah, its okay. Hey, it happened like 2,000 years ago so why worry," Yoh put on his headphones and started humming. Manta sighed again and looked at Horohoro.
"What do you think of it?" he asked.
"I don't know…" the blue-haired boy said. He just continued to stare at the television that was on. At the moment, Anna came in and threw Horohoro out the window.
"What did I say about taking the T.V.?" she yelled after him as she switched the channel and watched her show. Tamao and Pirika came in and sat next to Anna to watch with her. Manta, defeated, took out a book to read.
Meanwhile Ren prepared to walk back from the cemetery where he was spending a little time alone. 'Horohoro and the others are so annoying,' he thought. Night was approaching, and suddenly a great light fell from the sky and landed behind a hill with an explosion nearby. Ren ran to see what the commotion was all about. Up ahead, a figure of a girl laid unmoving on the ground.
"Oh, gee its only a girl," he said, half ready to leave the girl unconscious on the ground. Ren looked at the girl's face. She had light blue hair and was dressed in a white kimono. He sighed and carefully picked her up. Ren headed back to Yoh's house.
Back at the old inn, Horohoro teased Ren when he came back with his load. "Who is she?" he asked mockingly as Horohoro looked at the girl and suddenly blushed.
"Found her at the graveyard. Fell from the sky. Any more questions?" Ren said, daring someone else to ask something. Everyone started arguing until Anna yelled at everyone to be quiet and made Ren take the girl upstairs to a spare room. It was getting late.
"Look, we'll solve this mystery tomorrow, but everyone get ready to sleep right now!" Anna shouted above all the racket. "It's like you want to wake her up!" The crowd dispersed.
About an hour later, Ren stared at the ceiling wondering about the stranger. "Who could she be?" he thought as he turned around and fell asleep. Outside, the wind softly blew and the leaves rustled under the crescent moon.
