=== Scorpion Tactics ===
In 1200 Iweko Seiken had to visit each of the Great Clans before he returned to Toshi Ranbo to become the Emperor Iweko II. Fuyuko was tasked to show off the wonders of the Scorpion which would keep the Lion from attacking while he was present. She realized that her Lord's wife, Bayushi Kanihime, had opposed her efforts. Kanihime had spread a rumor that keeping Seiken ‘trapped’ in Scorpion lands was not wise, and that the Scorpion were willing to give up half their allotted time to receive Seiken and cede it to the Lion. She arranged that once he became Emperor Iweko II would make up the loss of time in Scorpion lands by sending his sister Iweko Miaka, who would visit strategic points along the path of Lion's attack. The stalling tactic would hold the Lion forces at bay. Kanihime also told that Fuyuko would become one of the teachers of Kaiko, her daughter.

=== Rise of Jigoku ===
In 1200 the rebellious Spider Clan had the upperhand in their goal to rule the Empire. Bayushi Nitoshi offered to the enemy leader Daigotsu Kanpeki his services, and the services of half of his Clan. The Scorpion Clan Champion had delivered to Kanpeki the heads of the Crane Clan Champion Doji Makoto and the Phoenix Clan Champion Shiba Tsukimi to prove his allegiance. Fuyuko and her fellow courtiers Makiko, Bayushi Jinn-Ja, and Shosuro Yamazaki were demolished, with their clan ruined at Court. In audience with Iweko II she asked for the right commit seppuku as an entire Clan to absolve the Scorpion name. The Emperor refused the request, as he wished the Great Clans to be united, shortly before the Spider stormed Toshi Ranbo. Nitoshi and his Clan were instrumental to secure the Iweko family, denying Kanpeki's real target, Iweko II. Blood Moons, by Mari Anne Murdock
