=== The Onisu Unleashed ===
In 1159 below the Kaiu Wall Hirariko was attacked by the onisu Kyofu and the heshin was filled with terror knowing that she had yet to fulfill her destiny in this life and feared Meido would be like the horrible emptiness she felt while under control of the Lying Darkness. A wandering nezumi, Yoee'trr, knocked the Phoenix clear of the demon's weapon. The nezumi fought the Onisu fearlessly and relentlessly; Hirariko, inspired by the nezumi, used a Riddle to convince a water kami to strengthen Yoee'trr allowing him to pummel Kyofu to death. Yoee'trr offered the Henshin to come with him to his tribe to tell of their encounter. Hiraiko gave the nezumi a jade goblet that she had managed to save from a burning temple in Otosan Uchi. 
=== Nezumi Conflicts ===
The Tattered Ear Nezumi Tribe had been killed by an unknown foe when Hirariko and Yoee'trr arrived to the burrow. A Crippled Bone pack led by Nir'um'tuk took them. They were journeying with a Crab bushi, Hiruma Tsuneko, and all came to see Old Stick. Hirariko talked with Hida Hio and Tsuneko while Yoee'trr was in a nezumi meeting and was commanded to tell the other nezumi tribes what had happened to the Tattered Ear and to find and kill the attackers.
