Taishuu

Mirumoto Taishuu is an Dragon Clan bushi. He traveled to Crab Clan lands to met Hida Kuon. Taishuu asked Kuon permission to travel to the Shadowlands to become the Dragon Clan ambassador on the City of the Lost, but Kuon refused. Taishuu explaind that Mirumoto Rosanjin had authorized him to offer Kuon the release of their hostage, Kaiu Sumata, and that he wanted Kuon to retain custody of the Dragon hostage the Crab had. Also, Rosanjin promised no Dragon would fight the Crab for the Scorpion for any reason. Kuon refused again. Then, [[Moto Akikazu, an Unicorn Clan shugenja, told Kuon that he could watch over Taishuu on the [[Shadowlands. Kuon accepted that Akikazu would join Taishuu on his journey. Taishuu and Akikazu continued their travel until they reached a ruined fort. Inside they found a strange ruby with a soul imprisoned. Then, they were surprised by two Lost samurai, Daigotsu Koshiro and the husk of Moto Tsume. Akikazu easily destroyed Koshiro, but when he was ready to confront his old body, Taishuu demanded that he flee with the ruby, to leave him to follow Tsume to see Daigotsu. Moto Tsume didn't want the ruby to be destroyed, so he accepted, but Akikazu was enraged. He finally accepted to return to Rokugan, because his mission was to find the ruby, but he swore to kill Taishuu when they meet again. But Taishuu does not care, as he knows he will be destroyed by Rokugan forces when he become Lost.
