After several children killed in a highway accident come back to life as Shikabane, Makina is dispatched to kill them. However, Ouri Kagami unwittingly interferes when he helps one of the Shikabane escape, mistaking her for a normal child, and irritating Makina. Makina's counterpart, contracted monk Keisei Tagami, and his fellow anti-Shikabane monks at the Shouhouha Kougon Sect assist Makina in taking down the child Shikabane.
