Himemiko, a being that had vanished from Shinga and now the country is in total chaos. The sudden return of yakuma changes things for the armies as they thought they would no longer be a problem. Right now, Runa, a young mysterious girl is facing trouble as she collects Himemiko's Sacred Treasures.

Later that night...

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky. The stars twinkling along with the moon, brightening the dark lands of Shinga as the animals of the night came out to do their business.

At the same time, the old castle's architecture blended in with the cooling night as the shadows from the trees gave it a spooky aura, scaring off any travelers that dared to get close.

But at the same time, inside one of the rooms, Runa couldn't sleep. She was just staring at the dark outlines of the objects in the old room of the castle. After the encounter with Uesugi Kenshin, the Takeda Army is spending the night here, where Runa knew they are going into war with the Uesugi Army by the following day.

The moon's rays shined through the cracks on the doors in the room Runa was sleeping. It brightened up the mood in the gloomy atmosphere in the room.

The raven-haired beauty sighed as she recalled what happened after Kenshin left.

Flashback:

"Now, do you know what I want to say the most?" Shingen asked, placing his hands on his hips in a scolding manner.

"I'm sorry... for going... alone...?" Runa guessed, not seeing the problem in all this.

"You heard my voice when I told you not to go alone, right?"

"Maybe..."

"Then..." Shingen placed his hands on Runa's shoulders a rather roughly, shaking her thin body in the process. "Why did you go alone?!" He shouted, clearly angry by his tone.

Runa was shocked by the anger in Shingen's eyes. It raged deep like a burning fire of pure anger was going on a rampage. Literally. He was shaking her like a mad man when he didn't get what he wanted.

"BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU WERE CAUGHT, YOU KNOW!?"

Runa flinched a bit at the tone of his voice.

"Do you fully understand how much danger you were in?!"

Runa nodded weakly, intimidated at the face Shingen was making. "Y-Y-Y-Yes... I-I-I'm sorry..." She whispered, looking away.

"That's enough, Shingen." Hanbee cut in. He walked over to him and pried his hands off Runa's shaking shoulders. "Runa-chan and the rest of us could see you have made your point."

Shingen inhaled deeply, calming his fiery rage. "Masakage, Masatoyo."

"Y-Yes?" Masakage stuttered.
