Author's Summary: Something is amiss in Inuyasha's forest...he can feel it, Miroku can feel it... even Kaede warns Inuyasha to be careful when the gang goes in search of a jewel shard that was stolen from a nearby village. Inuyasha doesn't heed her warnings, of course, and winds up biting off more than he can chew when the group breaks up to cover more ground.

Who is this mysterious cat demon, and what does she want with the hanyou? Whose is the ethereal voice singing eerily to Inuyasha in his dreams? And why does Miroku seem to be haunted by the painful memories of something he tried so hard to forget?

Two lives need not cross directly to be linked...and sometimes friends end up finding out too late to undo mistakes of years gone by. What else may lie common in Inuyasha and Miroku's pasts besides a burning hatred for Naraku? And will any of them be able to stop the awesome power of their shadowy new nemeis?
