Yuyi is mystified that Kyoshiro could be Demon Eyes Kyo. The episode resumes with the battle between Demon Eyes Kyo and the snake demon. He tells his story. He was once a samurai named Jimon serving Akashi Zento-sama under the command of Terumasa Ikeda, a brave general and husband of Tokugawa Ieyasu’s daughter. During the Battle of Sekigahora, he killed 200 warriors, but there was one greater than him. One whom he could not stand against. He looked into Demon Eyes Kyo ‘s red eyes and knew fear. Then the meteor hit, and when Jimon awoke, he had his snake body. These monsters from Sekigahora are called Kenyou.
During the battle, Jimon uses his rotating tail as a shield, but he is no match for Kyo and his Muramasa. Using the Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Satsujin Ken (The Dark Wind of God Murdering Sword technique), he defeated the snake creature.
Yukimura and Sasuke leave as soon as the battle is over, leaving Yuya to fend for herself against Kyo. Kyo tells her he was locked inside Kyoshiro’s body for a long time. She has short-lived visions of the 1,000,000 Ryo reward money, but Kyo quickly makes sure she knows her place. Yuya tells him that she won’t die at his hand. She won’t die until she finds the man with the cross-shaped wound on his back. Amused, Kyo lets her live. There is an inner struggle, and Kyoshiro gains control of the body. He is happy that Kyo didn’t harm Yuya.
They begin their travels during the night. Yuya thinks she knows a shortcut to a nearby village. They come to one, and Yuya admits she thinks they’re lost. Suddenly, a woman jumps on Kyoshiro. She asks if he’s really forgotten her, the priestess Okuni of Izumo? He admits he doesn’t. She explains that when the Western Army lost the Battle of Sekigahora, the warriors of Ishida Mitsunari fled from the rule of Tokugama Shogunate. They are hiding throughout the land. Because she loved Kyoshiro so much, she betrayed God. She roamed the country in recent years and found her way to a village populated by these hidden warriors. Okuni learned they harbor military money, and she was almost killed for it. Okuni also knows that Kyoshiro is Demon Eyes Kyo, a man who exists solely to destroy humans.
Terrified of wolves closing in on them, Kyoshiro and Yuya take off running towards the village, hoping that will be a safe spot to rest. They lose Okuni in the process. The villagers they find have laid down their swords for a quieter life. Later that day, Kyoshiro notices a strange man with light hair watching them. He disappears when Kyoshiro sees him.
The man with light hair is White Crow. He is a member of the Sansai Shuu, a group of three assassins who work for Kitou Genma. Black Scorpion and Red Tiger are the other members. Okuni also seems to be working with them.
