Times Change: A Demon's Dog Pen [Episode 66428]

by Proteus

Kaede looked around the decimated woodlands, everywhere her teenage eyes could see there was broken braches strewn about, and burn marks everywhere. But it was only one this that concerned her, Inuyasha's tree, the sacred oak that had held the demon dog still for years had been blown to bits.

However the murderer of the miko's older sister was still bound into eternal slumber by the last arrow Kikyo had fired.
