Love Trap.Miaka and Tamahome talk to each other with the help of Chichiri's powers, arranging to meet the next day in Kutou. Yui overhears their conversation, and is heartbroken upon learning of Tamahome's planned departure and his rejection of her. Yui runs into a surprised Nakago, who gives her a small parcel. He tells her that it is a way of keeping Tamahome there in Kutou with her, and Yui accepts it. In Konan, meanwhile, before Miaka sleeps, she makes a wish upon the stars to really be reunited with Tamahome. When Miaka wakes up the next morning, Nuriko gives her a special doll, which, when a couple's names are written on the doll which is in turn buried in the ground, supposedly makes a couple's love eternal. After having written hers and Tamahome's names on it, Miaka is unnerved to see it break before her very eyes, thinking of it as a bad sign. In Kutou, Yui takes the pill inside the parcel Nakago had given her and tries to put it into Tamahome's food while he sleeps—something she fails to do. When Tamahome wakes up and looks for Yui, he overhears Nakago and Yui's conversation and learns the truth. Miaka leaves to meet Tamahome, along with Chichiri, Tasuki, and, unbeknown to them, Mitsukake's cat Tama. Soon, they find the meeting place Miaka and Tamahome had agreed upon, a gigantic tree. However, when Tamahome tries to talk to Yui, Yui feeds him the dark pill through her mouth, rendering him unconscious. Miaka, Chichiri and Tasuki are caught unawares when, instead of whom they had been waiting for, they are met by Yui, Nakago and a regiment of soldiers.
