As prophesied by the stargazer from Kouya, Sorata was to become one of the Dragons of Heaven and would protect Kamui yet give up his life for a woman.

Kotori is Kamui's childhood friend and sweetheart. When they were little, Kamui saves Kotori from falling from a tree and since then, they've shared a close bond. In the library, a few days after Kamui's return, Kotori tells Kamui how she wants to go to a dyeing plant and create the color indigo even if it takes ten or twenty years.

Unfortunately, Kotori is unable to achieve this dream as she must sacrifice her life for the two Kamuis, both whom she loves dearly. As revealed later by Princess Hinoto, no matter which path Kamui chose, Kotori was bound to die.

In her death dream before saying farewell, she gives Kakyou a message to relay to the men she loves. Kakyou reveals this message to Kamui in a later episode and the message gives Kamui strength in his resolve.
