One morning, at the end of one of their usual arguments, You Keika learns about the life and death relationship between a Youmeishi and their spirit shadow, as well as the weaknesses of this from Tanmoku Ki. Along the way, Keika learns about the Tanmoku family's treasured sword (the Rakugetsu sword) as it is being taken to the family mausoleum in preparation for the pledging ceremony. He then finds himself under attack by Shito Ritsu who bears a strong grudge against Tanmoku Ki. When he soul is about to be broken apart Keika reaches out for the sacred sword...
For the first time, I couldn't 
understand Tanmoku Ki's feelings.
للمرة الأولى، استطعتُ فهم مشاعر تانموكو كي
Ich habe zum ersten Mal
Era la primera vez que no comprendía
los sentimientos de Ki Tanmoku.
