The Twelve Kingdoms: The episode opens right where the first episode left off. Youko is flying with Kaiko and just as she is giving her the situation they are attacked by a youma and Youko falls. Elsewhere Sugimoto is with Keiki's youma, Jyuusaku, and they too are attacked. Sugimoto falls but is saved by a group of youma. Youko awakes on a beach only to find that she isn't in Japan anymore. She looks over a sea that has several whirlpools within it. Youko then discovers she has a magic ball on her sword that allows her to heal wounds. While searching the landscape Youko comes across a small town. She goes around asking if anyone knows Keiki. Only to get attacked by the townsfolk. Her hinman takes over and tries to fight the villagers but there is just too many. She gets tied up and taken to a prison. In her cell she finds Sugimoto, who has also been caught. Sugimoto reveals to Youko that her face and hair are changing since she arrived in this world. They get taken to meet with a council that tells them that are what their people call Kaikyaku. Sugimoto realizes that for some strange reason only Youko can understand and speak the language in this land. Meanwhile in a different part of the forest Asano is being led by another one of Keiki's youma. They hear a noise and go to investigate. Keiki and Hankyo are attacked by opposing youma and Keiki is put under a strange spell by what would appear to be a unicorn. Just then Kieki also turns into a strange unicorn creature. Asano sees this and runs. The council tells Youko and Sugimoto that they will be taken to a office to have their fate decided. They are tied and and put in a wagon with guards. During the trip they are stopped and the guards find Asano. He is tied and put with them. He tells them how he saw what happened to Keiki.
