In 1123 O-Ushi moved to the Kuni Castle, where she had a meeting there. Her father appointed her as liutenant of her brother Sukune on an expedition to the Shinomen Mori. The Nezumi Rememberer of the Tattered Ear Ros'ku had found an armor in the Cave of Bloody Ghost Fire, within the dreaded Shadowed Swamps, which would be Kikyo, the armor forged by Hida Osano-wo for his lost brother Hida Atarashi and which in the 10th century was supposedly lost in the ill-fated expedition led by the General Hida Chuku into the Shadowlands. The Crab expedition faced many dangers in their way to the Cave, such an encounter with an onikuma, the disobedience of Hida Amoro while fighting a gashadokuro, or the madness of the Witch Hunter Kuni Kana, but eventually Sukune managed to retrieve the armor and return it back to the Hida Palace, but without its mempō, which was not found with the set of armor. For his success, Sukune assumed command of the reserve army at Kuni Castle.

They joined the defenders sneaking through the escape tunnels, but the holding was already beyond any possible defense due to leadership of Akuma no Oni, an Oni Lord not seen in centuries. O-Ushi rallied the remaining forces and made their way to the docks, to escape through the sea onboard the Poison Tide, manned by its Mantis crew.
