Yusuke says that the messengers might be loyal to Raizen, a non-human eating demon, but they eat humans. He smelt it on the one he fought's breath! They lied to him about that.The messengers confirmed this, but say they were hesitate to tell Yusuke the truth in the beginning because of his human ties. Yusuke tells them that its all right; it's their way of life.

The three mesengers then tell Yusuke they will return for him in a week and then they disappear.

Once they are gone Kuroko appears, having listened in. She tells Yusuke he is not worth protecting like she had thought. She tells him that she had orders from Spirit World to kill him, but had refused to and had thought they had something in common. So she would have protected him from Spirit World, but after him calling eating humans a way of life, she wants him gone.

As Yusuke leaves Kuroko's husband runs over to him, telling him that in his future there will be a fight with his friends that will end in blood.

In the mean time Kurama receives a message from Yomi asking for his assistance in the approaching battle and Hiei also recieves a message asking for his help in the battle, except Mukuro wants his aid.

Yusuke later tells Keiko that he will be going to Demon World and doesn't know when or if he'll be back. Keiko runs away from him, telling him that when he gets back he'd better tell her so she can introduce him to her new boyfriend.

Yusuke comes to Keiko's home later that night. Her father tells her to make Yusuke dinner. She does, annoyed though. When she is about to leave, Yusuke tells her to sit with him. He informs her that tomorrow is his birthday and that by his 18th birthday he will somehow return and then they will get married. Before he leaves he tells Keiko he loves her and as Keiko watches the street from her room Yusuke waves to her, promising his return.
