    Origin

    ===================

    Sorata Arisugawa was taken from their parents when he was three-year-old. His mother cried to let her child, but it was his destiny to go at Kongobu Shrine. Chu, the hoshimi of Koya Mount, taught him Buddhism arts and seal’s art. But Chu raised him like his son too. Sorata was a joyful kid even if he knew his destiny. Indeed Chu predicted him that he would protect Kamui Shiro, but he would die for the woman he would love.

    Introduction

    =============

    Years past, 1999 arrives; Chu sends a goho to Sorata in order to have a talk. Chu tells Sorata that the time has come to go to Tokyo. He must join Kamui. Sorata founds Kamui, but he is fighting Daisuke Saiki. After the fight, he tries to talk to a wounded Kamui, but Fuma Mono brings him at Togakushi Shrine. He can just wait the right moment to enter in contact with Kamui.

    The events were not convenient for Sorata. But Sorata doesn’t lose his day when he saw a man (Yuto Kigai) on the top of a tree. After few jokes, Sorata creates a kekkai in order to fight Yuto. Yuto understands they are both concerned by the “Jour de la Promesse”.

    The fight between Sorata and Yuto begins. They introduce themselves: Sorata Arisugawa, a high school student and Yuto Kugai, a city hall official. Sorata uses his electrical power whereas Yuto counters with a weapon (a kind of whip with a saï in each extremity). The fight is a succession of attacks, jokes and compliments until the arrival of Fuma. Sorata and Yuto are astonished because no one could enter a kekkai except those who are concerned by the “jour de la Promesse”. Fuma, upset, thinks that Sorata and Yuto are responsible of Kamui’s injuries. They decide to stop their fight and Sorata cancels his kekkai. There is no destruction. The Kekkai is perfect. Yuto left to go at the Yamanote line whereas Sorata tries to introduce himself to Fuma as a friend of Kamui. He also tries to explain everything about the end of the world.

    Kamui wakes up under the sight of Fuma Mono who just felt an earthquake. At the same moment, Fuma and Sorata arrive. Kotori is confused and Sorata doesn’t help her. During the dinner, Sorata tells to talk to Kamui in privacy. Fuma and Kotori accept and let them alone. Sorata tells Kamui that he tried to contact him earlier, but he was attacked by Daisuke and Arashi before. Kamui loses his temper and asks Sorata if he is with them. Sorata explains he is a monk from Koya mount and was sent by the hoshimi of his Shrine. Indeed he called Sorata by the intermediary of a goho. The hoshimi said that Kamui would return to Tokyo.

    Sorata tells Kamui that he knows Kamui lost a parent recently. Kamui, upset, attacks Sorata. But Sorata succeeds to calm down Kamui explaining that it was the hoshimi who told him about his mother. Kyogo, during this time, feels the introduction of an intruder inside his Shrine. A fight begins between the young intruder and Kyogo Mono. Even if Kyogo fights with the Sacred Sword, the ribbon of the intruder is superior. Kamui and Fuma receive the call of the sword and go to the Shrine. But it was too late, the intruder kills Kyogo.

    Arashi Kishu

    ==============

    A conversation begins between Sorata and Kamui. Sorata explains that the hoshimi told him that the sacred sword would be stolen by a Dragons of Earth and that the sacred sword would be appeared to Kamui with another shape. Kamui reveals he came back to Tokyo to take in his possession the sacred sword. Sorata tells him even if he understands Kamui’s distrusts; he must understand that he has the destiny of the Earth in his hands. A woman enters in their conversation. She is the high school nurse. She introduces herself as Tokiko Magami, the younger sister of Kamui’s mother. Kamui didn’t know he has an aunt. Tokiko responds that her sister left home before Kamui’s birth. She explains she and her sisters are Magamis. She reveals also that Toru explained her that Kamui is the son of a special person and he would be born for the Earth.

    Kamui and Sorata feel the creation of a kekkai. They decide to go at the Togakushi Shrine and let Tokiko. She tells them to come back if they want to know more about Toru Shiro, Magamis and Kamui’s destiny. Kamui and Sorata arrive and see Arashi Kishu. She explains she is here for Kamui, she knows about Sorata and she tells them that another seal was there. A tension is felt between Kamui and Arashi. Sorata tries to calm them down. Also, Sorata that Arashi will be his chosen one. He invites them to go at Tokiko’s house. When they arrive, they found the house in fire. Kamui confused, assimilates this event as his mother death and tries to save her. Sorata stops him whereas Arashi explains there is nobody inside. They decide to leave the place under the sight of a woman lightly dressed.

    Kamui, Sorata and Arashi are in a restaurant due to the invitation of the Koya’s monk. Kamui, upset to lose time decides to leave them. Sorata succeeds to stop him when he says he knows something about the Magamis, Kamui’s family. Kamui seats again and listens to Sorata. The monk from Koya’s mount explains that each Magami’s member is a kagenie, a substitution doll. A Kagenie is a great magician who takes on him the misfortune of another person. Sorata finds logical that Kamui’s mother was a Kagenie. Kamui tells them that his mother died in a fire. Arashi explains that the person associated to Toru is on fire. By this information, Sorata guesses that Arashi came from a Shrine. As the Sumeragi chief is a man. He guesses that Arashi came from the Ise Shrine. Then suddenly Sorata looks with attention Arashi’s face and tells her again she is his chosen one. Finally, Sorata becomes serious, pays the addition and asks Arashi to lead them to Diet Building where the Yumemi princess lives.

    Attack

    =========

    When Kamui sees that the Yumemi princess is Hinoto, the one who showed him Kotori’s death, he becomes completely mad and tries to attack her. Sorata stops him whereas Hinoto apologizes herself and begs him to listen to her. She thanks Sorata to have protected Kamui. Moreover she tells that she is happy to meet one of the seven seals. Sorata responds that he is also glad to meet her because the hoshimi really appreciates her. She explains that due to their common destiny: to see the future. Sorata does a joke on Hinoto’s age and then he pushes Kamui to talk to Hinoto.

    After this talk, an inugami does its appearance. Everyone wait the arrival of the seal who owns the inugami. Whereas Kamui observes the inugami, Sorata teases Daisuke. But he isn’t in the mood to joke; he continues to think that Kamui isn’t the real Kamui. Sorata contradict him saying he knows Kamui is the real Kamui because Sorata is one of the seven seals. It is at this moment that the inugami’s owner arrives. She’s a fourteen-year-old teenage who introduces herself as Yuzuriha Nekoi from Mitsumine Shrine. She apologizes to send Inuki, his inugami; but she didn’t find the way to get down. She asks everyone to introduce themselves. They do it, except Kamui. It is Sorata who introduces Kamui. Yuzuriha teases Kamui. Kamui decides to leave. He says he isn’t concerned by the “jour de la Promesse”. Daisuke upset provokes Kamui. They begin a fight when everyone falls in an illusion created by one of the Seven Angels. Arashi uses her saber, Sorata his electric powers and Yuzuriha transforms Inuki into a sword. Kamui, upset by this loss of time, uses his telekinetic powers to destroy this illusion. This mirage breaks into cherry tree petals. Hinoto concludes that the illusion was created by the sakurazukamori. An earthquake is felt. Sorata protects by instinct Arashi. Kamui, exasperated, leave the Diet Building distressing Hinoto. Sorata reassures her telling her that Kamui has still something to protect. Sorata, Arashi and Yuzuriha discuss about the other seals.

Sorata explains when he was a kid the hoshimi told him his future. Sorata would be the protector of Kamui; but it is for the woman he would love that he would give his life. And Sorata decided to chose Arashi when he saw her. Arashi changes of conversation and talks about the other seals. Considering that Arashi is the hidden miko of Ise, Sorata is the most powerful monk from Kongobu Shrine and Yuzuriha came from Mitsumine Shrine, Sorata thinks that Subaru Sumeragi must be one of the seven seals. It is at this moment that the woman lightly dressed enters in the conversation. She explains she just left her work to bring a message to Kamui from Tokiko. She reveals she burnt Tokiko’s house at her demand. She introduces herself as Karen Kasumi, one of the seven seals. She tells them to say to Kamui to protect the sacred sword. She must return to her work. Sorata asks her which Shrine she comes from. Karen, amused, tells him that she comes from the Flower, lets Sorata a visit card and leaves them into a flame show. The card reveals that the Flower is a soaplands of Shinjuku.

    Kotori and Kamui fall in an illusion created by the Sakurazukamori, Seichiro Sakurazuka. Sorata and Arashi could not enter in it. They must wait.
