Having come to Kisegawa from Oushu with his followers, Yoshitsune finally sees his brother Yoritomo. Yoritomo orders Yoshitsune to watch over the Heike troops on the other side of Fujigawa River. Yoshitsune’s followers complain about the triviality of the assignment but Yoshitsune calms them down and urges them to work hard. Their accomplishment impresses Yoritomo. One night, the Heike troops at Fujigawa River mistake the sound of the flock of waterfowl for an attack by the Genji and quickly retreat. After they are gone, Yoshitsune finds a dancer who could not move because of her wounded foot. The dancer is Shizuka who once saved Yoshitsune in Kyoto when he was being pursued by the Heike. Back in Kamakura, Yoshitsune, for the first time, meets Masako who is dazzled by his presence. In Kyoto, Kiyomori is furious with Koremori as he led the troop which was scared away of a flock of waterfowl at Fujigawa. Yoritomo asks Yoshitsune how he feels about turning against Kiyomori who he once looked upon as father.
