When Ririchiyo returns home for the New Year's festivities, she is hesitant to admit to her family that her bodyguard is also her boyfriend. Over the past several months, the other supernatural boarders at Ayakashi Hall have become more like a real family to her than any she has ever known. Never have these bonds been more evident than when danger threatens one of her new friends...

Since moving to Maison de Ayakashi, Ririchiyo has resisted lowering her guard around her fellow boarders and classmates. But the feeling of being different, of being abnormal, is something all who possess demon blood share, and Ririchiyo finds herself taking the first tentative steps toward friendship with Roromiya and Watanuki. But the devotion of Soushi, her Secret Service agent, still remains a puzzle. Ririchiyo can no better explain his attentions than she can her own growing attachment to him . . .

At first, the residents of Ayakashi Hall are baffled by the discovery of a time capsule containing letters in their own handwriting, apparently from their future selves. But Natsume's ability to see beyond confirms the truth, and he is overwhelmed by the future he glimpses. The others aren't sure they want to know the full extent of what is to come when it has so obviously rattled Natsume and their later selves. Even with that knowledge, what can they do differently to face the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?!

Efforts to reunite the members of Ayakashi Hall take an unexpected, tragic turn when one of their number falls in the battle. The death of a close friend serves to strengthen the remaining throwbacks' resolve to prevent the grim outcome relayed by their future selves, even if it means exposing the dark truth of one of their most trusted allies...

The threat of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons has driven the residents of Ayakashi Hall to take refuge at their family homes--whether they like it or not. But when they're apart, the situation seems even more hopeless. One by one, the group reassembles at the apartments that brought them together. Whatever the future holds, they will face it as a united front!
