Summary
A flashback narrative six months after the events of The Final Act finale. InuYasha and Kagome fight Ne no Kubi that Kikyō sealed away right before meeting InuYasha, over 50 years ago.

Over five years later, the fourteen-year-old daughters of Sesshōmaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time itself. In Feudal Japan, half-demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her twin, Towa is sucked into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi's younger brother, Sōta, and his family.

Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a demon slayer working for Kohaku. But to Towa's shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her and her childhood.

Joined by Moroha, the only daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome, the three young women travel between the two eras on an adventure to regain their missing past and resolve the crisis that is more dangerous than Naraku and the Shikon Jewel ever were.
