( Thunder Mist Mountains, Near Yakujin's Lair. )

Night falls over the Thunder Mist Mountains, Yakujin decides to visit the cliff, to witness the beautiful nightfall that falls down under the sakura tree she's at.

" Ah, what a beautiful night, as always... "

" Can I always enjoy this in peace forever more? " Yakujin asks as she witnesses the full moon, her ears are tingling, hearing the sound of wolves from a place far away.

" Geez, the wolves are so loud in the night, it disturbs the peaceful essence of it. " Yakujin says while sipping the sake she brings to her sightseeing place.

"( Well, it is already part of their nature setting, my master... )"

"( You can't blame the wolves for being loud, instead, I find them more useful in deciding the time when there is no watch with me... )"

"( Like roosters in the morning, their voice often reminds me what time it is within this forest. )" said the voice.

" Right, right... " Yakujin says to herself.

" *Sigh* " Yakujin sighs and flaps her tail as well as her Peacock wings.

" Show yourself please, I feel like talking to a ghost over this very day. " Yakujin asks the voice who was constantly talking to her, finally appearing herself in her humanoid form.

" Well, wasn't I a 'ghost' already? " said a woman spirit who wore a Black-red Kimono as she poured more drink to the Chimera Master.

" Of course, my dear Servant, Akafushi. " Yakujin says to Akafushi, who finally appeared herself in her humanoid spirit form as she accompanies the Kitsune Chimera Master for the night.

" My master, are you really going to feast on the boy? " Akafushi suddenly asks which makes Yakujin surprised.

" Why do you ask that, Akafushi? "

" Do you have any affection for him? " Yakujin asks Akafushi to say that she felt so pitiful towards Shiro, telling Yakujin that a boy like him shouldn't be sacrificed like that by the Villagers.

" So what do you want me to do, return him? " Yakujin asks with a higher tone.

" You know I can't, Akafushi... "

" Even if I return him, would the villagers accept him? " Yakujin asks which makes Akafushi realize as she sighs.

" No, they won't... "

" Once given, a sacrifice must not leave their fate or even return home... "

" Or else, those villagers might've believed they would receive any plagues or catastrophe if that happened. " Akafushi remembers.

" I will eat the boy, Akafushi... " Yakujin tells her after getting into her drink which made her high for a bit.

" But..., not now... "

" Eating him wouldn't even considered as a snack... "

" That's why I'll wait for him to grow up, I'll wait for him to be more edible enough to satisfy me *Slurp*, " Yakujin says as she looks at her two tails.

" I'm still far gone, from what my greatest potential could be... "

" Bah, you better grow up fast, Shiro... "

" I want your blood to evolve me further... " Yakujin says as the two women Hybrids watch the full moon in peace as they enjoy it.
