After being unhappy being unranked Kaoru tells his Inukamis that Keita must choose new ranks for them. Kaoru's Inukamis thus set out to try and win Keita's affection doing anything they can to be ranked higher than the other. This is all hindered however by a magical pot that Keita tries to use to rank them if he gets what he wants. Karou's Inukami's then end up wanting to fight one another but are told by Sendan, and Nadeshiko that they should work together and abandon the order, the pot is later sent floating down the river.
