  "Do you have any idea what you are doing? That girl is bad! If you met Ryou's sister, the you should know who she is right?" exclaimed Tsukuyomi. Baranohana just finished setting up a summoning ritual. There were six black candles, five on the outside of the star she drew on the ground in the basement, one in the middle. Baranohana, ignoring her dead aunt, began waving her hands. She murmured Shikyou's name many times. The red star she drew began to glow. The house began to shake. The candles began to float. The red flames suddenly turn blue, as a woman appears. She had yellow hair, a white bow in it, a dark colored kimono, with green lacing, and hypnotic red eyes. The house had stopped shaking by now. The candles were no longer floating, but the flames remained blue. Baranohana bowed in front of Shikyou. 

"Please, my lord, please help me," said Baranohana softly.

"What appears to be the issue, young lady?" growled Shikyou. She didn't appear very happy with being summoned.

"I need you to help me stop an evil hannya," said Baranohana, who was now looking into Shikyou's eyes. At this point, Tsukuyomi's spirit had disappeared, in fear of Shikyou's wrath.

"What is this hannya's name?" asked Shikyou, who's red eyes were staring right in Baranohana's soul.

"Her name is Rōzudesu. She wants my mom's power. My mom's name is Rōzu. My grandma...is actually a ghost...making my mom half ghost...and so am I...." Baranohana looked away.

"Hm, I've heard of Rōzudesu. She hates me just as much as I hate her. What is your name, young lady?" Shikyou said. Shikyou's face had softened a little as she felt Baranohana was afraid. Shikyou could tell she was going to cry, as the thought of Rōzudesu killing Rōzu scared Baranohana.

"M-my name is Baranohana," She said.

"That's a pretty name," said Shikyou. Baranohana smiled a little bit.

"I suppose I can help you," said Shikyou. Baranohana's smile grew.

"Don't get too excited now!" barked Shikyou.
