Plot
Several years after the events of Inuyasha: The Final Act, Sesshōmaru and Rin's four-year-old daughter Towa is separated from her twin sister Setsuna and gets stranded in the modern era, where she is adopted into her paternal half-aunt Kagome Higurashi's family, raised by Kagome's younger brother Sota and his warmhearted wife Moe. Towa becomes close to her younger adopted sister, six-year-old Mei, who is Towa's "substitute" for Setsuna.

One decade later, when the twins are fourteen-years-old, Towa is reunited with Setsuna, who comes to the modern era through the vast time-traveling power of the mystical Sacred Tree of Ages. During their separation, Setsuna became a hardhearted, feisty demon-slayer working under Kohaku and does not remember her past as they and her dreams were stolen by the mythical Dream Butterfly. In order to restore them, the half-demon twins embark on an adventure while accompanied by their quarter-demon bounty hunter cousin Moroha, who is the feisty, hard-as-nails fourteen-year-old daughter of Kagome and Inuyasha, and who also has no knowledge of her parents; except that her mother is an uppermost-level human priestess and that her father is half dog-demon.

At times, the vital essence of the Sacred Tree of Ages finally reveals itself after many centuries of dormancy, warning them that a longtime rival of their deceased paternal dog-demon grandfather is planning on warping time itself, since Sesshōmaru refuses to fight him directly in place of his father. At the same time, it is holding the teenage Rin in stasis for Sesshōmaru because of her fatal connection to Zero, the elder sister of Kirinmaru and creator of the seven mystical Rainbow Pearls, whose mighty demonic abilities rival those of the Shikon Jewel itself.
