Thinking, he might have returned, but used some undercover human disguise, the entire group went undercover to the Obon Festival, using Kanna as bait. As stated by Inage, the blood was only something the demon did to create fear and better taste in the marked victim. While Kanna, was busy dancing with an old man, fog started to fill the entire area, and the group was separated. While at first they suspected Tanahashi, to be the demon in disguise, he was only used to separate the group further.
