Fuko's wind is destroyed by Recca's flame. She attacks him again, and his flame goes through her wind. He dodges her attacks and cracks the controlling orb in the Fujin. Fuko calls a tornado to shield her and Fujin. While inside the tornado, Fuko cannot breathe. Domon tries to break through the tornado and save her, but is thrown backwards. Recca's flame also cannot penetrate the wind barrier. Recca tells Kage Houshi that he will promise anything if she will save Fuko. He watches as his cap is lifted over the wind barrier by a stray gust of wind and lands inside next to Fuko. This gives him an idea and he has Domon hurl him over the barrier. On his descent, he shatters the orb with his flame. Fuko wakes without most of her clothing and Domon offers her his coat. Kage Houshi pierces her own heart to prove to the group that she is immortal. She was the woman who sent Recca into the future four hundred years ago, and because of this is cursed never to die. Mikagami Tokiya watches the group from the shadows outside the school gate. The next day, Fuko talks to Yanagi while Tokiya introduces himself to Recca. Tokiya asks Recca about the previous night, but Recca avoids the question and Tokiya walks away. He creates a sword from the water in a fountain in the park. Kage Houshi appears and asks Tokiya about his dead sister, Mikagami Mifuyu. Tokiya remembers his sister's death seven years ago. Kage Houshi tells Tokiya that Recca was trying to steal Fuko's Madougu like the robbers who killed his sister to obtain Ensui. Tokiya walks away from Kage Houshi, refusing to work with her. Recca asks his father about his mother. When he mentions feeling as if he is being watched, his father sends him to buy cigarettes. Tokiya appears and fights Recca. He questions Recca about his sister's killers, but Recca knows nothing of the incident. They fight again and Tokiya forms Ensui from the water in a nearby fountain. Tokiya remembers his sister giving him Ensui before she died. Recca's flame is extinguished by Ensui and Tokiya cuts Recca. Tokiya stops as Yanagi arrives, stunned at the resemblance between her and his sister. Ensui disperses as he looses the will to fight. Yanagi runs past Tokiya to aid Recca.
