Hakkaku and Ginta are running along opposite sides of a river, panting. Two fish swim by, and the wolf demons leap into the river. They both get hold of a fish, but the fish squirm out of their hands and swim away. Hakkaku and Ginta are then sitting on the riverbank, complaining about how hungry they are. The wolves standing next to them howl in complaint, and Hakkaku tells the wolves to bear it a bit longer. Ginta says they could've attacked a human village a little earlier, but Koga ordered them not to bother humans any more, as he was afraid it would make Kagome mad.Suddenly, someone yells, "Look, there's a river, Jaken!"Hakkaku and Ginta turn around, just as Rin jumps out of the bushes. A few of the wolves take a few steps towards Rin, but Hakkaku and Ginta scold them. Rin stands still, remembering the time she was attacked and killed by wolves. Jaken then jumps out of the bushes, and Rin dives behind him. Jaken reminds himself Rin was once attacked by wolves, and he orders them to leave the area. Ginta says, "Why should we? Who do you think we are?" and Hakkaku adds, "We're the trusted henchmen of Koga. I'm Hakkaku the shrewd one!" and Ginta continues, "and dimpled Ginta!" They ask if Jaken remembers them now, and Jaken says, "Never heard of you. Cower in fear, you two! It has been several centuries since I began serving lord Sesshomaru! Crossed through three thousand worlds have I, his most loyal follower! I answer to the name Jaken!" Hakkaku and Ginta say they've never heard of Jaken or Sesshomaru, and Jaken yells at them for insulting his master. They get ready to fight each other, but Sesshomaru steps out of the bushes and stops Jaken. Rin jumps up and hides behind Sesshomaru. The wolves begin to step back and hide behind Ginta and Hakkaku. Hakkaku asks if Sesshomaru wants to fight, but Sesshomaru gives them the death glare and they shrink back. Hakkaku and Ginta claim they aren't afraid, then they run off with the wolves at their heels. After the wolves are gone, Sesshomaru asks if Rin was going to catch fish. She smiles and says, "Oh, yes!"Somewhere else, Hakkaku and Ginta are leaning against a tree, trying to catch their breaths. Hakkaku thinks they'd met Sesshomaru before, and Ginta says the name Sesshomaru rings a bell, but he isn't sure who this Sesshomaru is. They then decide to run back to Koga.Koga and the InuYasha gang have crossed paths once again. As usual, InuYasha and Koga are quarreling, telling each other they're both looking for Naraku and they end up running into each other. Koga then runs over and flirts with Kagome, and Hakkaku and Ginta come running down a path towards the group. Koga asks if they found anything to eat, and Ginta confesses they didn't. InuYasha overhears the conversation and butts in, telling them not to attack any villages. Koga says he'll catch a boar in no time, and everyone is confused, as Koga even tried to eat Shippo before. Sango says he doesn't want Kagome to hate him, therefore he doesn't attack villages any longer. Kagome digs around in her backpack and hands Koga a bag of chips. Shippo screams and says, "That's the last of Kagome's ninja snacks!" Koga takes Kagome's hand and says, "So you're worried about me." InuYasha separates them and grabs the chips from Koga's hands. They start arguing and snatching the chips from each other. Kagome tells them to stop, but of course, neither of them listen. Ginta turns to Kagome and asks if she's ever heard of Sesshomaru. Kagome says, "Sesshomaru is InuYasha's older brother." The two wolf demons cringe, thinking about InuYasha and Koga. Hakkaku asks what Sesshomaru is like, and Kagome says, "He doesn't get along with InuYasha, he has an evil sword named Tokijin, and he's extremely strong and a bit cold-hearted."Koga jumps down behind Kagome, and InuYasha lands a few seconds after with a huge boom. They continue punching each other, and Kagome states that Koga and InuYasha could fight like that and they'd never kill each other, but Sesshomaru would never hesitate to kill his opponent. Hakkaku and Ginta shoot glances at each other, and Kagome adds, "But maybe he's changed lately. He doesn't seem as cold-hearted as before."A few loud booms come from a few feet away from Kagome, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and Kagome runs over to stop InuYasha and Koga's tussle. Meanwhile, Hakkaku tells Ginta, "I guess we have a dangerous opponent." Ginta replies, "Good thing we didn't engage him." The wolves come up, barking as if there's a problem. Hakkaku and Ginta speak to the wolves with barking noises, and they realize the wolves once attacked the girl that was with Sesshomaru.Sango complains to Miroku that she's tired of InuYasha and Koga's argument, and Miroku says, "I think it'll end soon." As soon as he finishes his sentence, Kagome gives InuYasha a sit command, and he gets launched into the ground like usual. Koga takes the chips, telling Kagome he'll think of the food as a token of her love, and runs off with Ginta, Hakkaku, and the wolves at his heels. The InuYasha gang heads off to the next village, as they had planned before Koga interfered.Meanwhile, Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta are walking towards where Hakkau and Ginta ran into Sesshomaru. Koga is acting carefree, eating the chips, while Ginta and Hakkaku are fretting, thinking they'll run into Sesshomaru again if they continue the way they're walking. Koga tells Hakkaku and Ginta there's a river up ahead, and he wants to stop and rest there. Ginta and Hakkaku insist they keep on going, but Koga says he's thirsty. Hakkaku tells him to go upriver, and Ginta tells him to go downriver. Koga asks why they should go to all the trouble, and Hakkaku and Ginta back off. They don't want to tell Koga about Sesshomaru, because knowing his personality and being a rival with InuYasha, Koga would try to start a fight with Sesshomaru and get himself killed. Ginta tries to tell Koga to go a different way, but Koga asks why the two keep ordering him around so much. Ginta says he's not ordering Koga around, but trying to warn him instead. Hakkaku and Ginta try and pull Koga away from the direction of the river, but he turns and yells at them to follow him, not the other way around. Hakkaku yells that he and Ginta don't want to follow, and that's why they keep stopping Koga. Koga gets mad, and tells the two to go back to the mountains if they don't want to listen to him. After a few more comments, Ginta and Hakkaku give up and run away.Off in the outskirts of a village, the InuYasha group is walking around. A demon bursts out of the trees and tells InuYasha to hand over the sacred jewel shards the group has. The demon tries to grab at Kagome, but InuYasha cuts its arm off before she gets hurt. Miroku then throws a paper spell seal at the demon and it explodes. A few villagers approach the InuYasha gang, admiring their strength and telling them how the village had been tormented by the demon. Miroku says there'd been an increase in demons lately, and one of the villagers invites the group to spend the night in the village. Everyone but InuYasha is happy with the invitation. Kagome tells InuYasha they can look for Naraku the next day, and they should stay the night in the village.Off in a forest, Hakkaku and Ginta are searching for food. Ginta complains and says he doesn't understand why Koga was so harsh to them when the two were only trying to protect him. A large moth flies out of a hole in a tree, and Ginta stands staring for a minute before he realizes he just lost something he could've eaten. Hakkaku is picking around in a tree with a big stick, and he finds a pear-like fruit and pops it in his mouth. To his surprise, the fruit tastes horrible, and he spits it out. Ginta thinks Koga's too arrogant, just because he's the young boss. Hakkaku wonders if they should run around with the InuYasha gang instead, and Ginta thinks it's a great idea... until Hakkaku mentions InuYasha. A big, purple demon smashes the tree Hakkaku and Ginta were standing near and asks what the two were doing in the forest. Hakkaku and Ginta scream and take off running. Hakkaku stumbles and falls, and Ginta zooms right on past him. Hakkaku screams for him to wait, and the demon's footsteps are heard pounding behind him. He gets up and catches up with Ginta. He then says, "Ginta, you're mean! Koga would never abandon a comrade!" Ginta replies, "That's cuz he's Koga!" Hakkaku blames the whole event with the demon on Koga, all because he didn't listen to what his two friends were saying. But, even though Koga is rough, he cherishes all his comrades. A breeze blows, and Ginta and Hakkaku pick up Sesshomaru's scent. They then remember Koga was up ahead too, and the two fear Sesshomaru and Koga will run into each other.The two wolf demons imagine Koga and Sesshomaru running into each other. Koga talks like he would to InuYasha, calling Sesshomaru a 'disgusting mutt'. Rin points and tells Sesshomaru he was the one that set the wolves loose that killed her, and Sesshomaru's eyes turn red as he gets ready to transform into his true form.Hakkaku and Ginta have a fit, and they know they have to do something, but they don't know what.In the forest, Rin is riding on Ah-un with Jaken a few steps in front of them and Sesshomaru next to the demon horse. Jaken stops the horses, noticing that there are two wolf demons blocking the path. Ginta and Hakkaku tell Sesshomaru to turn around, and Rin begins, "Lord Sesshomaru, they—"Ginta and Hakkaku reintroduce themselves as 'Ginta from hell' and 'slayer Hakkaku'. Jaken rolls his eyes to himself and says, "Sounds different from earlier on." Ginta and Hakkaku once again try to turn Sesshomaru away, but he gives the two his death glare and they shrink back. They then start beating each other up, trying to show Sesshomaru their 'powerful moves'. Sesshomaru is getting frustrated, and he hisses, "Make way." Of course, this frightens Ginta and Hakkaku, and they start dancing around, then try to tell Sesshomaru to leave again. Jaken stares at the two wolf demons, his jaw dropped. He thinks, don't they value their lives?? Sesshomaru walks past Jaken and towards Hakkaku and Ginta. He says again, in a harsher tone, "I said, make way." Ginta and Hakkaku briefly remember what Kagome said about Sesshomaru not hesitating to kill his opponent. Just when they think it's the end, Koga comes out of nowhere, standing on a ledge of rock looking over the forest. Koga and Sesshomaru look at each other for a few seconds, then Koga asks, "Who are you?" He jumps down from the rock ledge and notes that it smells like InuYasha. Hakkaku and Ginta tell Koga that Sesshomaru is InuYasha's older brother, and Koga shouldn't mess with him. Koga says a few random comments, and Sesshomaru walks towards Koga. It seems like Sesshomaru's going to kill Koga, but instead he just blinks. Koga turns around, and the demon that had been chasing Hakkaku and Ginta earlier bursts out of the bushes and runs for Koga, yelling for the sacred jewel shards. Koga and Sesshomaru defeat the demon together, and Koga smirks and says, "Thanks for nothing!" Sesshomaru's eyes narrow. Suddenly, Rin screams for Jaken's help. A centipede demon jumps up behind Ah-un and tries to eat Rin. Jaken jumps and tries to hit the demon with his staff, but the demon knocks him out of the way and tries to kill Rin. Sesshomaru and Koga both jump to save Rin, but Koga gets to her first and kills the demon. Rin looks at Koga, confused, and he walks past Sesshomaru, who says, "Unnecessary inteference." Koga replies, "Feeling's mutual." Jaken and Hakkaku and Ginta are both confused at their leaders' behavior. Koga walks up to his friends and tells them, "Let's go, guys." After Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta are gone, Jaken asks, "You're letting them go? Koga's wolves were the ones that attacked Rin." Sesshomaru answers, "If he tried that again, then I'd kill him. But right now, I'm after Naraku." Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta are sitting under a tree, talking. Koga gives the rest of the chips to his friends, and they thank him. Koga asks why they said all that crazy stuff earlier, and the two confess they thought Koga would start fighting with Sesshomaru. Koga asks why, and Ginta and Hakkaku tell him it was because of his rivalry with InuYasha. Koga says he'd defeat InuYasha one day, but he didn't have any problems with Sesshomaru. Koga thinks they were worried over something stupid, but Ginta protests that Sesshomaru may have tried to start a fight with Koga. Koga asks why again, and Hakkaku and Ginta remind him of what happened with Rin and Koga's wolves. Koga doesn't understand why Sesshomaru lets Rin tag along with him, and Ginta and Hakkaku press their hands over his mouth to silence him. Koga breaks free and says, "You guys think I'd loose to Sesshomaru? Well then, I'll go settle this right now!" He starts to march off, but Ginta and Hakkaku pull him back, trying to convince him he's much stronger than Sesshomaru. The next morning, the InuYasha gang is headed out of the village when Koga comes up and gives Kagome flowers. Kagome pushes InuYasha away and takes the flowers, then Koga runs off. Miroku notes that Koga changed a lot since they first met, and Sango says, "It's all your influence, Kagome." Shippo says, "InuYasha must learn and grow up more," which gets him a pounding.Hakkaku and Ginta are waiting on a hill with the wolves. Koga runs up and flies past them, shouting, "I'm gonna find Naraku today!"
