Shigemori explains to Yoshimori that within the Urakai is a group of demon tamers called the Yagyou who are an operations squad of the Urakai, and that the leader of the Yagyou is Masamori Sumimura, Yoshimori's older brother. The next day, Yoshimori, and later Tokine, comes across a patissier ghost named Masahiko Tsukijigaoka, who is having trouble passing on. Masahiko tags along with the kekkaishi to hunt down a possible ayakashi. Inside the school, they find a male ghost named Murakami Masanao with a scythed hand, who had died in a car accident. Yoshimori prevents him from attacking and offers him a chance to see his daughter one more time before he rests in peace.
