Then all around the meninou froze and scarlet. Only he was able to move in that shadowy world frozen, where the temperature dropped several degrees and the scenery was morbid and uncomfortable with the atmosphere, making the child feel noticed by someone who could also strangely moving. Yashuhiko was still armed with the ancient sword and brandished it, preparing to attack whoever was.
  A creature covered with a black coat and hiding her face in the shadows, watching every move the boy, whose hearing was ascertained for any minimal noise. The stranger threw an arrow at Yasuhiko, who was hit in the right shoulder. He tried to launch a coup, however, did not reach the enemy. Soon, the strange out of the shadows and appeared before the boy youkai.
  The stranger took off the coat and hood, however, his face was still hidden in the shadows of his dark hair and dense, making clear just dress, gray and they were held to a sheathed sword and a bag of arrows on his back. In the hands, the bow was made of gold with the detailed design of youkai as the sword Yasuhiko discovered.

When Yasuhiko arguments would gather to talk, he hears his name Nishihara screaming in the distance, coming up in a few seconds. Shiraname - so was the name of the stranger - soon focused his gaze on the girl, who looked at the boy for a moment, looking away, embarrassed.
- You owe me explanations, kid - Shiraname replied, eyes closed - you can have the life of your father back, only this girl agree to be bound to me.

  She became even more flushed, however, accepted before Yasuhiko could protest. The stranger motioned for him to approach him and she obeyed, keeping her brother answered.
- One life for another, our father deserves to live.
