A rock theme begins as Chiyo is shown turning as her black hair waves in the wind. As the music changes, her eyes are zoomed in to show sad looking eyes. "What should I protect?" The title is shown before it fades away to show Chiyo standing with Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara. "Without a doubt, there was only one thing: An echoing cry, a sound made in vain within the deep forest." Kagome is shown running over to them and Shippo jumps down to the ground from Sango's Hiraikotsu and smiles up at Kagome. The music changes as Koga is shown with gritted teeth as he growled. "The reason I could hold back my tears, was because of the warmth when our fingers touched!" The music speeds up and Chiyo is shown standing alone as the wind is shown blowing her hair and she held her arms up to stop it. "A future without you is a future without meaning!" Koga is shown jumping over to attack Kagura before Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Shippo also appear and attack at Kagura, Kanna and Naraku. "I'll never let go of you again!" Light flashes and Sesshomaru is shown walking with Rin and Jaken before a woman with duel-colored eyes and black hair flashes like a ghost while she looked to be sleeping before Sesshomaru is shown multiple times wielding one of his three swords. "The world I see with you is a world I've never seen before!" Light flashes and Chiyo is shown either playing with Inuyasha's ears, Shippo's tail or Kirara in general while the others just laughed at Inuyasha getting angry. "We travel across time and space on a distant journey!" Light flashes as Chiyo and Koga are shown back to back as Koga wields metal claws on his right hand while he looked to be growling. The music slows down as the two fade to silhouettes and the title is shown.

[The Next Day]

"How are your wounds today?" Kagome asks.

"Better, I'm just confused why Koga just came and dropped me off with you guys. I planned to stay a couple more days with the guys." Chiyo says.

"It's bad enough that you smell like wolf." Inuyasha says.

"Yeah, well, deal with it." Chiyo says in annoyance, "I'm sure it'll just be worse later."

"How was Reiki?" Sango asks.

"Reiki showed me something." Chiyo says.

"She showed you something?" Miroku asks.

"On the moonless nights, her powers of sight are stronger, but regularly she can implant images into people's minds. It's how we communicated all this time. Koga asked how we defeat Naraku..." Chiyo says.

"Well? What did she say?" Inuyasha asks.

"She showed me the last faces that Naraku will ever see." Chiyo says.

"And? Who's faces?" Inuyasha asks.

"Everyone here plus... Kohaku, Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken." Chiyo says, "Minus... Koga and I."

"What does that mean that you two won't participate?" Sango asks.

"Because... Reiki knows... that she'll awaken with Naraku's death." Chiyo says.

"Yeah?" Inuyasha asks.

"And I won't want her to wake up alone. So, when the time comes... Koga and I... We'll go. We'll make the trip to her so that she'll wake up. I'm... I'm the only one who knows when that time will be." Chiyo says.

"No doubt... That makes you a target for Naraku." Miroku says.

"Exactly." Chiyo says.

"And Koga thinks he can't protect you." Inuyasha says, "That explains why he dropped you off here."

"Yeah..." Chiyo says as she looks down. Chiyo sits on the back of Kagome's bike that Kagome pushed. Everyone walks together.
