With the final battle against Naraku looming over feudal Japan, Sesshomaru seduced an unwilling Kagome, resulting in her pregnancy. Kagome doesn't want to have the child, and Inuyasha is incapable of handling a situation of such exquisite delicacy. Kikyo wanders as a wraith between the worlds, and her unhappiness has a reason, a reason that will create havoc in the feudal world.  But all these events are woven into a pattern which has been set since the very beginning of time......

Sesshomaru is responsible for a chain of islands reserved for demons, and he finds himself discovering that a human, Kagome, has captured his eye.  His beliefs about humans are thrown to the wind as he discovers how aluring they can truly be.

Sesshomaru has been looking for a way to get back at InuYasha ever since the Tetsaiga was left to him.  One day the opportunity finally knocks when he needs a girl that can see the jewel shards to help him find Naraku.  He takes Kagome captive and they both find themselves discovering a whole new side of one another.
