12화: 마키가 치사토에게서 새끼 고양이를 받지만 버려진 집 정원에서 신마를 마주한다

12

A man named Maki recently lost his kitten and is upset about it. Fortunately for him, Chisato finds a kitten on the way to school, so she decides to give it to the man. Though he first refuses to take care of the kitten, he changes his mind afterward. He goes to an abandoned house where he meets a mysterious woman, a cat lover herself. She absorbs the spirit of the kitten into a white rose she holds in her hand, planting it in a garden of flowers full of feline spirits. Maki believes that the cats should be free to wander than to be bound into flowers. However, this angers the woman, as she transforms in a shinma called Ko-Jyoh and tries to absorb his spirit. Miyu arrives and burns down the entire garden, then banishes Ko-Jyoh back into the darkness. She then puts Maki into an eternal sleep, which leads him to take care of an imaginary kitten.
