With the identity of the red-masked man seemingly revealed, Rekka and Kouga work together to hunt Sendinbale, a Horror that uses written characters as gates that was released by the red-masked man. Sedinbale hunts Kaoru, who is close to finishing her storybook. Due to viewing the battle between Rekka, Kouga and the Horror Kaoru finally finds out about Kouga's Seal of Destruction and that he has a short time left to live. Though the news upsets her greatly, for his sake, Kaoru resolves to maintain a strong facade in front of Kouga, so that he can continue to be an effective protector. Rekka admires Kaoru for this and, before departing, conjures a new Makai Dragon for Kouga.
