A few years after Kagome returned from her final visit to her world, the group of friends gets together again, and goes on a mission of sorts for Old Keade. They journey to a small village in the mountains, and find out about a certain "guardian deity" of the village's children. The adults, convinced that it's some 'living god', ask the group to capture it and imprison it in a shrine they built, so that they may always have it. But not all things are as they seem. And not all dog demons have instincts to fight each other upon sight. Especially the outcast. With somewhat different features from the majority of other dog demons, he was exiled from his home, and wanders the lands, searching for.... well, anything. A home, a companion. Anything to soothe his wounded spirit.
