Ga-rei

Ga-rei

:Sister-figure of Kagura Tsuchimiya who turned evil because of the power of sesshouseki. Also, she was the person who killed Kagura Tsuchimiya's father. She was killed by Kagura herself and has turned completely evil in her afterlife. She was extraordinarily talented when alive and slaughtered over 70 ministry agents by herself, and defeated the head of the Tsuchimiya clan and his spirit beast Byakuei. As an evil spirit, she becomes even more powerful. She tries to awaken a great demon sealed in Tokyo, and seals a piece of sesshouseki in Kensaku. For this, she incurs Kazuhiro's wrath, and he takes away her own sesshouseki. She dies when the demon is re-sealed.

; nihongo|Kidoumaru|鬼童丸|:A spirit who helps Yomi. He is a swordsman in samurai attire, and is very powerful. He is critically injured by Kyouko, but not before he almost kills her. He is finished off by Kagura.

; nihongo|Kazuhiro Mitogawa|三途河 カズヒロ|Mitogawa Kazuhiro:A boy who used to belong to the agency. he was captured by the sesshouseki and became one of its minions. He was the one who gave Yomi her sesshouseki, and later took it away. He mentions a "Lord Tamamo" as his overlord, who may be the one behind the recent incidents involving the sesshouseki. After Yomi's death, he is next seen participating in the Juugondou coup as Shizuru's sister's underling. He removes Kagura and Kensuke's souls from their bodies, and takes them to a spirit dimension he calls "Tamamo Garden" (Seaweed Garden), where they encounter Lord Tamamo.He uses insect-related magic, and seems to have powers related to the sesshouseki, such as being able to remove the souls of people who possess them. One of his eyes seems to contain a sesshouseki.

; Lord Tamamo:The successor to the Kyuubi, he is the mastermind behind the sesshouseki-related incidents that have occurred, and Kazuhiro's overlord. He used to be a demon-user who became an evil spirit of incredible power after death. He is first identified in chapter 19, when Kazuhiro removes Kagura's and Kensuke's souls and takes them to Tamamo Garden. When Kagura attacks him, Tamamo intervenes and reveals himself. Tamamo tells them to fight and search for the ten sesshouseki, and that the one who collects them all will control the Kyuubi, and be its true successor.Lord Tamamo doesn't seem to have a discernible personality, and appears quite inhuman, however more may be revealed in later chapters. -

piritual Beasts

; nihongo|Byakuei|白叡|: Kagura's beast. A dragon with chains wrapped around it. The chains also connect to Kagura and whenever Byakuei gets injured, Kagura will get hurt also. He is one of the most powerful spirit beasts on earth. He was sealed in ancient times and has been passed down to the head of the Tsuchimiya family for generations. A lengthy ritual is required to seal Byakuei inside the recipient, and Byakuei is never completely released, as he would break free of the seal and devour his owner.:In the fight against the immortal demon, Kagura tried to fully release Byakuei as she thought she was going to die. While she didn't, Byakuei's seal had been weakened, and he started going out of control. Kagura initially wanted to kill him with the power of the Kyuubi, but is now reluctant, as he is the only family she has. She is currently keeping him under control, but their fate is uncertain.

; nihongo|Nue|鵺|ぬえ: Yomi's spirit beast, is at nearly the same level as Byakuei.

; nihongo|Kurofoudo|黒四駑|くろふぉーど: Shizuru's spirit beast, was originally sealed within an iron knife, but Shizuru drew him out. He utilises lighting-based attacks.

Terms

; Sesshouseki: A stone made by the crystallization of the Nine-Tailed Fox's spiritual power when it was defeated hundreds of years ago. There are several spread all over the world. As the power that they are made from is inherently evil, they tend to corrupt their user's minds and consume their bodies and minds, in return for temporarily limitless spirit power. There are two in Kagura's earrings and one in Kensuke's body, near his heart. Kazuhiro appears to be their "keeper" of sorts, as he gave one to Yomi and later took it away. They are the reason for Yomi's metamorphosis into an evil murderer, and are extremely dangerous.: A person who possesses sesshouseki will have advanced regenerative abilities, and may even be able to slow their aging, as demonstrated by Kazuhiro.

; Shikigami: Paper spirits used by Kyouko in her magic. They are pieces of papers with incantations on them that can be used in several different ways, such as making them into paper giants or barriers. The papers with incantations used are known as Fuda

; Houjitsu: Spells used by most spirit-users, usually preceded by a lengthy Buddhist chant, that usually create some sort of nature-related attack such as a lightning bolt. They are used in conjunction with hand seals.

; nihongo|Juugondou|呪禁道: Taoist magic that developed in the shadow of Onmyou, and was later banned. Its practitioners were driven underground, and reformed under the guise of a smuggling syndicate. They have since resurfaced.
