She meets several other characters, including Uzuki Senba, an Oni slayer; Tzuzura Wakasugi, a girl accompanied by a white fox; Sakuya Asama, a friend of Kei's mother; and KEI-kun, a strange boy who happens to share Kei's name.
Though things start out peaceful, they quickly go to hell with the appearance of [[BigBad Nushi-sama]], an evil [[{{Orochi}} snake god]] from long ago, and his twin Oni followers, Nozomi and Mikage, who are fully intent on consuming Kei's blood. Kei and her new allies must protect her from the threat, and learn of the supernatural secret contained in her blood...
