Kagome returns home to relax, hoping to take her mind off of Feudal Japan for a while. Unfortunately, the high school is preparing for a cultural festival, much to her chagrin, being suggested by her friends to be an understudy for the cultural festival. It is realized that Naraku has nearly all the shards of the Shikon Jewel, eluded by only a single shard that cannot be found anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, Miroku urges InuYasha to prevent Kagome from being kidnapped a second time. Kagome is frustrated that she must be the star attraction of the cultural festival, yet she is able to appreciate her active role in participation. InuYasha goes to the present to fetch her, only to learn about the upcoming cultural festival.
