Many years after the events of Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru's daughter four-year-old Towa is separated from her younger twin sister Setsuna and gets stranded in the modern era, where she is adopted into Kagome Higurashi's family, raised by her younger brother Sota and his wife Moe.

Ten years later, Towa is reunited with Setsuna, who came to the modern time through the vast power of the Sacred Tree of Ages. During their separation, Setsuna became a demon-slayer working under Kohaku and does not remember her past. In order to restore Setsuna's memories, they embark on an adventure while accompanied by their cousin Moroha, who is the teenage daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi and also has no memory of her parents.

The Spirit of the Tree of Ages reveals to the trio that an old enemy of their paternal dog-demon grandfather is planning on warping time since Sesshomaru refuses to fight him. At the same time, it is holding an adult Rin in stasis for Sesshomaru for an unknown reason.
