Ayame, granddaughter of the northern wolf yōkai tribe leader, searches for Koga to unite the northern and eastern tribes, recalling his childhood marriage proposal. Simultaneously, a mouth incarnation of Naraku attacks indiscriminately. Koga decides to flee with Kagome Higurashi to protect her, leading to a confrontation with an angry and jealous Ayame. The narrative reveals that Koga previously saved Ayame from the terror of the Birds of Paradise. During that rescue, he promised to marry her during the night of the lunar rainbow, a vow that complicates his current interactions with both Ayame and Kagome as the threat from Naraku intensifies.
