Summary
Teito and Ouka meet and Teito is shocked to find that Ouka does not have wings and they in fact belong to her Fyulong dragon, Kururu. They then bid each other farewell and Teito runs off along the roofs, only to find that he had left Mikage behind.

Ouka, meanwhile is in the city, curing the ills of the people who live on the streets. She comes across a man who is being harassed by the slave dealers, Carl and Parl, due to the fact that he owes them money. Ouka stands up for the man and gives the slave dealers some jewellery in order to the cover the man's debt. The slave dealers realise that the jewellery is worth way more than the man's debt and decide to attack Ouka in order to get more of her belongings.

Teito arrives and kicks Parl in the face. He then helps Ouka to escape and the two walk together for a while, talking about themselves. Teito is surprised that Kururu can talk and attempts to teach Mikage how to talk too. Ouka tells Teito that she wants to help people in the world.

Carl and Parl arrive, seeking revenge for being beaten and chase Teito and Ouka out on the ice. Whilst they skid away, the children look at each other in the eyes and seem to remember meeting each other before but not entirely remembering the circumstances behind it. They manage to escape the slave dealers.

While they wonder about the smell of incense getting stronger, a Wars suddenly attacks them.
