And they did. A year later, Hisoki grew up fast. Like really fast. He grew up from a precocious infant who can talk, read, write and walk on his own to an 18-year-old. His human father taught him everything about humans and the outside world. Yaketsuku was a member of the Ninja clan and he took his son to train him in ninjitsu when he grew bigger. His human mother did as she promised by feeding him good food, bathing him and giving him toys and books. Hisoki grew to enjoy his new life in the outside world and he could make friends, go on fun adventures and learn about the world and the way of ninjitsu. However, Hisoki never forgot his tanuki family and missed them when remembering his old memories as a tanuki.
That morning, Hisoki was thinking about visiting his tanuki family, so he asked his human parents about it during breakfast. Yaketsuku was hesitant about meeting his son's original family, but Maho happily agreed and was excited to meet the Tanukis. They packed their bags and went on a journey with Hisoki's Tanuki family. They had some adventures while on their way to the home of the Tanuki family.
After a journey, they finally left the outside world and walked their way to the forest where his tanuki family lived. Despite being reborn as a human, Hisoki still keeps his tanuki powers, and he shape-shifts into his original form, a Tanuki. He ran to the hut and knocked on the door. But there was no answer, so he waited for a few minutes before he knocked again. Again, no answer. So he waited, then he knocked again. Still no answer. He repeated again and again. No answer!!
He borrows one of his human father's weapons and uses his Katana to slash the door open with a Katana. It spooked him and his human parents what they saw. Inside the hut is a mess.
They looked around and saw a piece of white fabric. Hisoki picked up the fabric and saw that the Fabric had a logo on it. It is a logo of a two-horned skull. His human parents widened their eyes when they saw the logo. Maho spoke first.
"I saw this logo before! This belongs to one of the yokai hunters!"
His human parents told him about yokai hunters. Some captured Yokai hoping to sell them, while some killed Yokai as a bounty. Hisoki shudders with fear when he learns Tanukis are very rare and hard to find.
"The Yokai hunter must have captured them! We must save my family!" Said Hisoki, clenching the fabric in his hand. He look at his human parents and he said shyly "I mean my tanuki family n-not you... b-but I still considered you my family since my h-human mother accidentally eat me and later gave birth to me"
