Inuyasha plays with Buyo as arrives Kagome until she felt surprised that Inuyasha have arrive to get her, as her mom asks to have dinner.

While Miroku, Sango, and Shippō wait, Hachi has arrived and warned them about the panther demons. Miroku was curious that they're looking for Kagome, and Kaede asked what do they want, Karan answered that she wants the shard of the Shikon Jewel. The rest of panther demons came and start to attack. Kaede use an arrow to scare them away and the panthers go on a retreat. As they left, Sango knew that it's a good that Kagome go home like she did, Miroku agreed and she must stay a little longer and stay away from the panthers as Shippō said that Inuyasha went to get her.

As Inuyasha and Kagome have returned to the Feudal era, Miroku Sango, Shippō, and Hachi, have warned them about the panthers. Meanwhile, one of the panther leaders go provoking Sesshōmaru, as the panther apparently holds a deep grudge against his family and wants to settle the score. Sesshōmaru rises to the challenge. Sesshōmaru tells Rin to stay with A-Un until he along with Jaken come back. They encountered the first time (the second time for her friends) until she gets kidnapped by the demon-panthers, and her friends speed to her rescue. Kōga joins in the pursuit.
