A girl in white kimono sat on the tree; in her mind were replaying the events that had occurred earlier. That is no ordinary Shinma…to able to create a barrier that even shinna could not dispel. It is very certain she is one of the few.

"Miyu, what are you thinking about?" her servant came to her side, he had his mask removed and was looking very concerned, she had became extremely quiet after that battle; even more quiet than usual.

Miyu looked at the night sky and to larva; her expression unreadable. "I have met with that Shinma a long time ago. " Miyu closed her eyes; memories of her past floated to the surface.

"Come out from wherever you are hiding!" it was a small town; very foggy and lonely. She was standing on the roof watching her surroundings with a flame in her hand. She had not been guardian for a very long time and the first few Shinma who attacked her were anything but strong. However that was changed a strange presence called her to this place, the stench of a powerful Shinma. She had found it not long ago, but it escaped her flames.

A noise on her right alerted her and she moved away just in time to see her prey pouncing at her.

"My Flame!" Miyu summoned; she directed her fire towards the Shinma; a fox with nine tails. She dodged it easily and jumped towards her too quickly and sinks her teeth through her arm.

The fox smiles with contempt; "You shall perish here, guardian." She spoke using telepathy, Miyu clenched her fist; all of the sudden, the fox released her jaws and ran away leaving Miyu on the ground blood flowing to the ground from her arm.

Miyu breathed in deeply and saw that Larva was still looking at her with those eyes; "Please don't worry, I was just remembering some unpleasant things." Seeing that she was reluctant to talk, Larva let the matter rest. However he had a hand on her shoulder, "What are we going to do about shinna?"

"That Demon have taken her, we cannot quite forgive." She replied calmly and played with the ends of her hair while looking over the city. It is very quiet here and especially in this cemetery; there was no one talking. Larva placed his mask back and disappeared; another thought came to her, why did that nine tales say that she knew Shinna?

Meanwhile, Larva was travelling the night skies. Miyu had said nothing however she wanted him to locate Shinna. He just knows; because he knew her for very long and only he can understand what she wanted. Larva came across an abandoned temple where the scent of Shinma was very strong, not only because nine tales was one but it was also due to shinna's status as a Shinma. He entered the deserted courtyard with caution.

The fallen leaves crackle loudly as he strides through them; the hem of his clothes brushed the ground. Larva peered around at his darkened surroundings carefully. And true enough, the nine tales walked out from one of the broken rooms. Her tails were glowing with a bluish hue and she grinned widely when she saw who it was.

"So the guardian herself would not enter the fray?" she spoke with such slyness that even bought the muscles under Larva's eye twitching. But he said nothing except raising his arm, preparing for a fight.

The Shinma shook her head and bristled her fur; "Your opponent is not me."

A large force slammed into Larva from the side; he was flung against the far side of the wall. Larva slide to the floor, he could not move his arms at all. Larva pulled up his sleeves only to find several poke marks all over them; toxins? However he could not be let off guard, the brave servant stood up and revealed his scythe, and the fox had not moved an inch after speaking; it was watching with pride.

"The oldest Shinma that ever lived, have you wondered how it would look like?" The Fox said with much content; color from Larva's face was draining away slowly however he forced himself to stay awake. He must get more information for her, in order for her to send the stray shinma into the darkness. "Who…?" Larva was surprised that his voice could sound so weak; the scythe from his hands dropped to the ground with a loud thud and so did he. The energy had slipped away from his body and the objects around him were becoming blurred and not distinct. However even in the little conscious he had left; Larva saw another creature standing next to the Fox demon, though the form was not the same. He could tell who that creature was; Shinna? With that last realization, Larva fell to the ground. "Miyu…"

"Larva?" Miyu who was resting in that tree woke with a strange feeling in her chest; as though someone had tried to pulled air from her lungs. Larva is in danger. The white kimono girl stood up and step off the tree; she vanished into thin air.
