However, Umibozu has set up a bet: if she can shoot Ryo with a paint capsule, she can marry him. However, Ryo puts a monkeywrench in that bet when he requests a night with Miki if he can evade her attacks.

Ryo continues to evade Miki's attacks as Kaori requests Umibozu to stop the bet and marry Miki. Umibozu responds with a statement that makes Kaori believe that Ryo has a mistress (when in actuality, he is talking about Ryo and Kaori themselves). Angered by this, Kaori seeks to have Miki "kidnap" her so to lead Ryo to a trap.

Ryo's client is a young girl with a unique telepathic ability to read minds. However, Ryo is smitten by the girl's nanny, a woman with martial arts skills. The young girl, Sara, is entranced by Ryo and his abilities, despite the fact that his mind is filled with "Mokkori" most of the time. It turns out that Sara is the only daughter of the head of a large family conglomerate and that many of her relatives are after her. Sara also runs into a disturbing fact: that Kaori is secretly in love with Ryo.

Sara is instantaneously jealous of Kaori's love for Ryo, but is able to come to terms with her feelings and cements a friendship with Kaori. Meanwhile, henchmen try to hire Umibozu to kill City Hunter but Umibozu instead gift wraps them for Ryo. They find out that Sara's Uncle was responsible for her father's death, and is trying to have Sara killed so he can inherit the family estate. Ryo decides to confront the Uncle directly.

Ryo runs into Kasumi Asoh, the "flying tush object" he met several years earlier. Kasumi is now 19 and is set to go into an arranged marriage in which she wants no part of. She thus masquerades Ryo as her lover, much to the disapproval of her grandmother, and Takeshi, Kasumi's arranged husband. Takeshi uses unscrupulous tricks against Ryo, by first hypnotizing him into believing that Takeshi's "mokkori" is bigger than Ryo's then when Ryo finds out about the hypnosis, hypnotizes Ryo in a state in which he can no longer experience "mokkori".

His mokkori "kidnapped", Ryo must try to defeat Takeshi in a showdown between thieves by stealing a magic mirror. But when Takeshi is able to obtain the mirror using another hypnotic trick, Ryo does not pursue. He mentions that there is a secret behind the mirror and that it was never meant to be stolen. Thus Takeshi has lost but Kasumi's grandmother discovers that Kasumi has fallen in love with Ryo. She then forbids Kasumi to return to the family estate and thus Kasumi boards with Umibozu and Miki at the Cat's Eye.

During a visit to Hideyuki's grave, Ryo comes across a woman visiting a grave being accosted by two men. It turns out that the woman, Ayako, was visiting the grave of her late husband, a Yakuza boss. The two men are determined to be from a rival Yakuza group. Ryo notices deep emotional wounds in Ayako as he notices her having trouble resuming her passion of painting.

It turns out that a rival Yakuza group is fighting Ayako's group for control over a large park. When the rival group starts a fire in the park, Ryo assists the friendly Yakuza in preventing a disaster and later on dispatches the rival group. But Ryo also must find the source of Ayako's pain and enable her to live a normal life again.

Ryo notices that he is being watched by Kozue, a 12 year old girl confined to a wheelchair. When he pays her a visit, Kozue remarks that he is the second person to notice her, the first being a mysterious man with a beard. Kaori suspects that Ryo is using Kozue to get to her much older sister. But when the mysterious man attacks Kozue, Ryo decides to have Kozue and her sister live with him until he can figure out what is going on.

Kozue begins to enjoy life with Ryo and decides to try to set him up with her older sister. Meanwhile, Ryo finds out that Kozue was wounded by an unknown man who had killed another over a deal gone bad, and the bullet stuck against her spine is the cause of her paralysis. The arrival of Detectives Iwadate and Saeko also begins to complicate matters. With Kozue scheduled to undergo an operation which may allow her to walk again, Ryo realizes that Kozue may be in greater danger than initially thought.

Kaori discovers Ryo in bed with another woman and angrily leaves him as a result. Ryo, with no recollection of the events the night before, decides to strike it up with this woman. What he does not realize that the woman, Rumi, is the daughter of a powerful Japanese politician. In his anger, the politician hires Umibozu to take out the City Hunter and retrieve Rumi. But Ryo realizes that some men are also after Rumi, led by a mysterious woman named Sarah.

After Ryo, Saeko, and Umibozu are able to thwart an ambush set up by Sarah, her group, the Black Army, makes a ransom demand to the Japanese government with the threat of blowing up a nuclear bomb in the heart of Shinjuku. With the information on their hideout from Rumi, Ryo decides to take the Black army on. But when he realizes the truth of Sarah's identity, he finds that he is unable to shoot her.

Reika calls up Ryo to go on a date. At the same time, she refers Kaori to a fortune teller. There, the fortune teller informs Kaori that she may be a danger to the one she loves the most, Ryo.

A woman named Sayuri Tachiki approaches Saeko with a request to meet her long lost sister, who happens to be Kaori. Because Kaori does not know the truth of her existence, Ryo decides to take Sayuri on as a "client" and have Kaori interact with her to see what happens. Ryo then notices that someone may be after Sayuri. When Sayuri notices that Kaori is training with a gun, she becomes angry at Ryo and fearful that her sister may end up with a horrible fate in the underworld.
