Mikage while exploring the Ryujoji's hideout, was attacked by Shiro/Taiko Daiyu and was heavily injured. Sai finds her as Mikage stumbles out and collapses in front of him. He brings her home, treats her and then hugs her, but Jiyu sees everything and runs off. Mikage tells him to protect Jiyu and that the Ryujoji grudge lives on. As soon as she runs outside, a possessed Shiro appears and attacks her.
