Episode Title:
Nurarihyon and Yohime.
Episode Description:
400 years ago, the Nura Clan is starting to become the most feared clan in the land. They are different from the other yōkai clans because they do not bother (kill) humans. During this era there is a beautiful woman named Yohime who is said to be "God's gift" because of her power to cure any kind of illness and injuries. Yohime's power is abused by her father who demands huge amounts of money from the people who want to be cured. Yohime's father also controls her movements and keeps her isolated at home, unaware of the outside world. As the news of her beauty and special healing powers spreads, she becomes the target of the Kyoto yōkai, who want to offer her liver to their leader, Hagoromo Gitsune. Nurarihyon has also heard about Yohime and becomes interested in her. One evening, Nurarihyon appears in Yohime's room and declares his interest. Some time later, Nurarihyon again appears in her room and he takes Yohime to the Nura Clan hideout in order to introduce Yohime to his comrades. To their surprise, Nurarihyon asks her to be his wife. However, she doesn't answer and insists that he not visit her again. The following night Yohime's mansion is attacked by yōkai and all of the onmyōji looking after her are killed. When Nurarihyon arrives on the scene, the lone surviving onmyōji reveals that Yohime has been captured by Hagoromo Gitsune's clan.
