Rin Fujiwara has always seen the things that hide in the dark. Shadows that breathe. Spirits that linger. A whisper of power curling beneath her skin. After a supernatural attack, Rin is taken to the Fujiwara estate - an ancient place ruled by a Great-Grandmother whose spiritual strength is matched only by her cruelty. Here, yokai walk the halls.

That girl was a slave the moment she was born. Being the daughter of a slave, a golden-haired, green-eyed, European slave bought by a Persian merchant, the first two years of her life were spent traveling the world in a caravan; drifting from place to place, to more lands than most could recite, before she herself could even recite anything at all. Eventually, they would end up in the distant far-eastern island called Japan. Her merchant master traveled there to do some trade, and as always, brought her, her mother, and a few others with him. However, only around a month after their arrival, a sudden earthquake rocked the mountain their caravan was passing through, setting off an avalanche that threw them all down a steep valley. And the world was quiet. The only sounds were coming from the leaves and the Persian merchant, who, beset by labored breaths, kept repeatedly calling out a particular word for hours on end, until the moment he died. That word was 'Parsa', his homeland. That was Parsee's first ever memory.

Six years after having been sentenced to life imprisonment for the massacre of her entire village, Shun Shutsuki is recruited by the master of Gushiken Paranormal Organization and taken out of prison. Shun is the possessor of the Godai Shakujō, a hereditary ability of the Shutsuki Clan, which appears only once in several generations and manifests itself in the form of a powerful anti-monster weapon. According to Kagami Gushiken, the master of the Organization, Shun wasn't herself during the massacre; she was possessed by a demon. However, this does not appear to be the entire truth; only Doctor Tsunan Hitachiin and the Master seem to know exactly what happened that fateful night. Evidently, the other members of the Organization are not at ease- to say the least- with the idea of having a "mass murderer" amongst them, with Tsunan's fan-club being particularly averse to Shun's presence within the organization. Even if monsters are absolutely real, none of them believe in the existence of demons and much less in demonic possession. Everything becomes complicated when Naoto Higaonna, an ex-member of the organization- who is now working as a high-school teacher- kills a group of students out of the blue before committing suicide. Things become even more complicated when the members of the Organization discover that Shun is constantly being hounded and persecuted by a certain Tadashi Honjō, with whom Shun seems to share a long-time bond. Who is Tadashi Honjō? Or rather, what is he? But, above it all, who is Subaru? What is Shun hiding so desperately? Will she be able to survive within the Organization? Will she return safely from the missions assigned to her? Author's Note: This story is dedicated to all the fans of manga and anime.
