Ep. 3: Kabane verliert seinen Kopf an Kitsune-Obersuperintendent Inari, überlebt jedoch dank Shikis Eingreifen und Inugamis Charme.

Inugami sends Kabane, Shiki and Akira to see Superintendent Yokō Inari, a kitsune lady who is also a member of the Shinjuku police, that works with the detective agency. Before going, Inugami hands Kabane a good-luck charm. Guided by a kitsune girl named Kon, Kabane is brought to see Inari, who tricks him into handing over his lifestone – that can prevent Kemono's thirst for human energies – and decapitates him. Kon is then sent to take care of Shiki and Akira, but as her disguise as Kabane fails, she sets fire to the building with her tail. She reveals that all the staff here have been enthralled by Inari's pheromones and illusions and so are like mindless puppets unable to feel even pain. With his thread, Shiki steals the briefcase containing Kabane's decapitated head from Kon and throws it at her, allowing Kabane to almost bite her shoulder off, knocking her unconscious. Kabane, with his head now out in open space, regrows his body and Shiki formally recognises him as his buddy. Together, along with a fainted Akira, they meet Inugami outside the station who had predicted everything. Later, as Inari plans to mass-produce the lifestone and break down amicable relations with humans, it reveals itself to be a tanuki charm instead with an illusion spell cast on it by Inugami. In a rage, Inari kills her driver. After dinner, Kon barges into the agency's headquarters intending on taking Kabane's head despite her hunger and her injuries, but Inugami subdues her. A human suddenly enters, bringing the smell of Kemono with him. (Source: Wikipedia)
