Naraku has been destroyed by Inuyasha and his companions, marking the beginning of their separate journeys. Sango is searching for her brother Kohaku, while Miroku returns home. Meanwhile, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou embark on a mission to collect the remaining shards of the Shikon Jewel. However, this peace does not last long as the full moon rises each night, bringing with it impending danger. Kagura and Kanna set out in search of a mirror that holds the ruler of eternal night, Kaguya. To free her, they must gather five items and deposit them into the five lakes of Fuji. Freeing Kaguya means putting Inuyasha and his companions at risk from the new threat they will face.
