Kourin tells Sugimoto that it was she that saved her when she first arrived and not Keiki. She then tells her to come with her - and she does. Now Asano and Yoko are alone and hungry so they decide to rob a pair of people for food. Yoko remembers seeing the kid in the town before and can't go through with it but, even when they are offered food she refuses thinking that they cannot trust anyone. Asano tells Yoko that he wanted to go with Sugimoto but that she wouldn't let him. Yoko feels more and more alone. Suddenly a pack of Kiki attack them and Yoko fights them off but Asano falls off the cliff near the river. After stabbing the white Kiki leader, Sugimoto and Kourin appear. Sugimoto attacks Yoko telling her she's always wanted her dead. Kourin stops her at the last second after she injures Yoko's hand saying that now she's wounded, the youma will finish her off.
