Nanami and Kirihito work their way through the underworld and tangle with the kami in control down there. Nanami uses her power to trick her way into staying so she can rescue Kirihito (who she promised...though I really wish she didn't feel obligated cuz I think we'll all regret it later). Tomoe risks everything to be able to rescue her, returning to his full youkai form for the power but this causes him to be imprisoned by the upper Kami and he is not sure he wishes to return to being Nanami's shinshi. However, he discovers some things about himself and about this crazy human kami and things return to some form of normalcy. However, a visit from a surprising source gives Nanami an idea of a larger plot going on...seems there is more to this story then first meets the eye!NEED THE NEXT VOLUME! I loved this volume the best since this is the volume where Tomoe has finally acknowledged and realized his love for Nanami, and I love how he comes to her rescue yet again. Nanami has matured quite a lot, and Tomoe is getting closer to finding out the mystery of his pass human lover.SPOILERS;WARNING:SPOILERS TO EVERYTHING:Nanami wakes up to find herself in the land of the dead with Kirihito. Yomoisu-Okami(kami enshrined in land of the dead) let's Nanami return to the human world but not Kirihito since he's a spirit in a dead body. Nanami doesn't want to ditch Kirihito, so she eats the food of the dead so that she can stay in the Land of the Dead also(but really the food she ate she changed before eating, so really she didn't eat the food in the land of the dead). Nanami rescues Kirihito from the darkness. Meanwhile Tomoe has just received message about Nanami, and he sets out to rescue her. Izanami finds out that Nanami deceived her, so she orders her to be captured. TOmoe has been transformed back into an ayakashi(no longer bound to Kami) so that he can rescue Nanami. He rescues Nanami and Kirihito disappears w/ his helpers(for now). Tomoe thinks about whether to become Nanami's Shinshi again, and in the end he kisses her while she's sleeping, making him her Shinshi. Tomoe realizes that he likes Nanami. Mikage believes it's not the time for Tomoe to remember Yukiji(his ex human lover) yet, he wants Tomoe to choose Nanami.
