Naoe...

Why did you release me from the mirror?

I don't know.

It's just...

It's just?

I...

...love you.

Chapter 2 Tiger's Eye

Lord Kagetora... is that him?

Tachibana, is there something wrong?

No, nothing at all.

Why is he here?

Sorry, I'm late.

Oh no, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule.

This is the man that wants to buy the Mandala.

Nice to meet you. I'm Watanabe.

Watanabe?

Sit down. Let's talk business.

What is the meaning of this?

Well, business negotiations are done.

Let's have a toast to completing such deal.

You too, Mr. Watanabe.

You'll have to excuse me. I have other plans.

I see, that's too bad.

I'll see him off.

All right.

I never thought I would meet you here.

Mr. Rairen Shimozuma.

You are?

Nobutsuna Naoe.

From Uesugi...

A short while ago, I was told several of our men vanished and...

...I sensed something very strange.

What do you plan to do with the Mandala?

I don't want you interfering with us anymore.

As far as Murashige Araki is concerned, we'll handle it peacefully.

Murashige Araki?

Tell your master that we rule the lands near the palace.

All of you just be quiet and watch!

Negotiations have been finalized.

Tomorrow, we will exchange the item for cash.

It seems like you have something to say.

Why the hell are you here?

I was told by a friend from my college days that...

...the chairman was being troubled by a female spirit.

I was asked to look into it.

So I'm doing double duty as a secretary and bodyguard.

Why did you let Rairen go free?

We can't interfere with a lawful business negotiation.

Have you forgotten that you are a man of Uesugi?

You can't even put that title on a resume.

Even if I take care of vengeful spirits, I can't make a dime out of it.

For 400 years, you have been doing good for the sake of humanity.

You must really love people.

Naoe!

Why are you upset?

You don't like the fact that I acted all by myself?

Or is it because...

...you don't approve of the way I've affiliated myself with someone else?

You become jealous if your dog is friendly towards another person?

You're like a small child.

He's a good person... the chairman, that is.

He knows how to stand tall above others very well.

He's trustworthy and reliable.

He's a good example for you to follow.

Are you saying I'm not reliable?

I feel very sorry for the person who has to follow a leader with no abilities.

You asshole!

If you have something to say, spit it out!

Let me go!

You bastard!

Stop struggling.

Take a look.

You are very weak.

You can't beat me with your power.

I was acting nice, but you've been very naughty.

Tiger's Eye...

This violent glow drops everyone on their knees.

Let me go, that's an order!

I'll shut that arrogant mouth of yours.

What are you doing?

I want to do it with you.

Enough with the jokes!

I don't have the time to deal with your crappy game-playing.

You think this is a game?

If this isn't game, then what the hell is it?

Let go!

Then I'll show you what I'm all about.

Quit messing around!

Are you afraid?

You can't accept me because you're a man?

What the...

Then...

...you should be a woman.

It's very simple.

I'll use my powers to let you possess a female body.

You're a masochist, so I'll give you all kinds of bizarre excitement.

It'll be very passionate and embarrassing as well.

So that's who you really are?

You deceived me.

I feel like a fool to have followed such worthless scum like you all this time!

Yes, you are a fool.

You latch onto other people's weakness with your kindness.

You let them trust you, then you let them go!

I've never seen such ruthless scum as you!

I'll never think of you again. Who could understand you, anyway?

You really don't know anything.

Those words you speak eventually become the components of victory.

You never tried to understand me.

Every time I tried to leave, you showed off your strength to overpower me...

...and to make me submit.

You never wanted to provide me with anything.

I'm not going to let you understand.

I don't want a bad winner like you to understand anything!

Winner... what do you mean?

Is it that fun...

...to watch losers in despair?

No! It's not about winners or losers...

That's the only relationship we can have.

I have no clue what you're talking about!

Then maybe I should make you understand.

I'll make you understand! Takaya!

S-Stop...

You shouldn't have sealed your memories.

But even without your memories, you still manage to beat me.

It's all your fault for appearing in this time period.

Don't question my loyalty to you.

Why...

...did it have to be me?

If it was someone other than me, that person wouldn't have felt...

...this much pain in loving you.

Anyone would have been fine... to succumb to your needs.

Naoe...

I detest you.

I want to break it off.

I want to win over you.

I don't want to lose you.

Naoe...

I...

...don't care what happens!

I'll squeeze you to death! I'll violate you with this body!

Nao...

I'll destroy everything!

S-Stop.

Stop it, Naoe!

S-Stop it!

If you're going to blame someone, blame your older brother.

Stop.

Don't let it get too tight.

Stop!

You're a jinx on the Hojo.

Stop it!

Shit...

Why...

Why do I have to remember these things?

Takaya.

Don't touch me!

Am I the winner?

Am I really the winner?

Answer me...

...Nobutsuna Naoe!

Lord Kagetora...

Yes?

Oh, we've met before.

Yes?

What?

I understand. I'll be there soon.

What's wrong?

That was from Mr. Agi.

The chairman left after being called out by someone.

Where is he?

Maruyama Park.

I can't sense the aura of one of the followers I sent to track down Rairen.

I guess she was caught and taken care of.

Was it that flashy looking woman?

Yeah, I guess they retaliated for what I did before.

But the Ikko sect aren't the only ones after the Mandala.

Murashige Araki is also after the Mandala.

If that man is Murashige, then the chairman is in grave danger.

What is it that you want to talk about?

I believe we met once before.

If it's about that Mandala, it's already in someone else's hands.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Even if you threaten me, there's no way for you to get it now.

Please!

Burn that Mandala!

What did you say?

Within that Mandala rests many spirits that bear a grudge against me.

If those spirits are released, who knows what would happen to me?

I don't want to be sacrificed.

Please burn the Mandala so that those spirits won't be released!

So that's your true intention, Murashige Araki?

It's been a month, Murashige.

Rairen Shimozuma!

You're the guy from...

You escaped from our hands.

Are you that afraid to become a sacrificial lamb?

I'll never be one of you!

You want me to be a sacrifice, so that you can use those spirits for war.

I will not allow such a thing to happen!

You don't know when to give up.

For the lives of the 700 people who were lost because of you...

Accept your punishment!

Never!

I will never return to you!

Dishonorable fool.

I will not return, Rairen!

Seize him!

What happened?

Who are you?

I won't let you have him!

I had to help you since you were so pathetic.

You are...

You must be a Possessor.

Who are you? Name yourself!

My current name is Ayako Kadowaki.

I used to be known as Haruie Kakizaki, a vassal of the Uesugi.

Uesugi...

I see, you're one of the Yashashu Clan.

I didn't know they had a woman.

You'll be sorry if you don't take me seriously!

There's no point in an unnecessary fight. Hand over Murashige Araki.

Murashige Araki...

We will protect him.

I don't know what you've planned, but you're not gonna take him away!

I'll say it again. Hand him over.

A monk should act like a monk and concentrate on praying!

You fool!

More, more!

Chairman, sorry I'm late.

Haruie!

Kagetora!

Kagetora Uesugi!

Take care of them!

Exorcise him now!

Huh?

I said take care of Murashige now!

But...

You found out he isn't your lover, right?

Get rid of him now!

Then, the Ikko sect's plans will fall apart.

I won't let you do that!

That bastard!

It's an order! Do it, Haruie!

Just as I expected...

Why are you standing around?

Sorry.

Wait!

Stop right there...

No!

Haruie!

Sorry.

Naoe!

Get out of my way!

Uesugi!

You're very annoying!

It's enough!

Bastard!

What shall we do, Lord Rairen?

Go after Murashige! I'll send Rairyu to get the Mandala.

I understand.

That Uesugi, he's making us look like a bunch of fools.

I'll show him what we can do!

What is it with that Mandala?

How come so many spirits are trapped in that Mandala?

There are spirits trapped in that Mandala?

Is that what they told you?

They said there are spirits inside the Mandala with a grudge on that guy.

He said he didn't want to be sacrificed. He also told me to burn it.

I'm confused.

If spirits from the Araki Clan are trapped in it...

You were safe.

Sorry I made you worried.

Did something happen?

I have no idea. Murashige Araki and sacrifices...

Naoe!

We're going to the Kurama Shrine. The Mandala is there.

They're after what's inside the Mandala.

Before they use it for evil, we should exorcise it completely!

Don't you lay a hand on the Mandala! That's an important item!

The only thing we'll do is exorcise the vengeful spirits inside the Mandala!

We'll take care of the rest.

Wait, Tachibana!

You're my secretary! I won't let you do this!

You don't have to be his bodyguard anymore.

Good job, Naoe.

You can stop playing secretary.

A pet dog can't change from one master to another on his own.

How sad.

Mr. Agi just called a short while ago.

The service isn't over yet...

I'm begging you.

I understand. Please wait a moment.

Murashige should be taken care of immediately.

Take care of him?

We should take care of him before the Ikko sect uses him for their evil deeds.

That man is a Possessor.

If we were to exorcise him, we'd need to kill him first.

Then kill him.

If there's no other choice, then we need to kill him.

You have changed.

I never thought I'd hear those kinds of words from you.

If someone doesn't step up, then many lives will be in danger.

We can't solve any problems without making sacrifices.

Haruie can't kill that man. He looks just like her lover from the past.

Then, you go and kill him.

If Haruie interferes, then kill her too.

Having Murashige around will bring everyone misfortune. Kill Murashige.

If anyone tries to interfere, kill them too.

This is an order.

After all, you can never say no.

Thank you for waiting.

So this is the Mandala...

It's really something.

It looks like the hairs of the deceased are interwoven around here.

I see that the power inside is very strong.

It'll be difficult to release all the spirits and exorcise them.

Can you really do such a thing?

We can't do this halfheartedly, but in here...

...the divine powers of the Bishamonten are quite strong.

Plus this person knows how to open the door.

This is...

Normally, it would be best to shred them and burn them but...

You don't want to do that, right?

I understand.

Can he get the job done at this pace?

Naumaku Sanmanda Bodanan Abiraunken.

Lord Kagetora!

Let go of me! I'll exorcise them!

I'll do it! You don't have enough power!

You can't do this alone!

Lord Kagetora!

What the hell? It's not working!

These vengeful spirits are odd. They're being protected by someone!

What?

There's only one reason why we can't get rid of them.

The Ikko sect!

It's too late for you now, Uesugi!

I must first thank you for releasing the spirits of the Araki Clan.

Eishou?

No, you're Rairen's...

Rairyu Shimozuma! My brother told me to say hello.

Rairen's younger brother...

So he was protecting the spirits!

Playtime's over.

You will become food for the spirits of the Araki Clan!

Lord Kagetora!

He's messing with me!

You bastard!

Lord Kagetora!

Listen, spirits of the Araki Clan!

You can't escape from this Mandala with your hair interweaved!

Do as I tell you!

Finish them off for good!

Are you all right?

These leather pants were quite expensive.

Kagetora?

He is...

...toying around...

What the...

An exorcising power?

No.

Get far away from this mountain!

Stop!

Lord Kagetora!

Lord Kagetora!
