As Kagome enjoys a refreshing swim, her clothes are
stolen by a monkey. Inuyasha chases after the monkey upon Kagome's
request. The monkey takes the clothes to a boy sitting by a tree. The boy
thanks the monkey, Hiyoshimaru, but quickly notices that Hiyoshimaru
didn't bring him any food. Inuyasha and Kagome appear and demand that the
boy give Kagome her clothes back. Later, the boy introduces himself has
Nobunaga; which excites Kagome, thinking he's Oda Nobunaga. But she soon
discovers that he's Amari Nobunaga. Nobunaga excuses himself because he's
on an important mission. Off in a village, a group of girls are being
taken to a nearby castle. As this is going on, the villagers talk about
the rumors they heard regarding the summoning of women. Nobunaga,
Hiyoshimaru, Kagome and Inuyasha watch in some nearby bushes.
Meanwhile in the castle, a man's frog-shaped body is
wrapped in cloth asks Princess Tsuyu if she's comfortable, she says she
is. But when she asks about the women he's been gathering, he's angered
and tells that it's none of her concern. That night, Inuyasha, Kagome and
Nobunaga sneak into the castle. Myouga notices that the people in the
castle must be under some kind spell, since they're all asleep. In the
castle, Nobunaga searches for Princess Tsuyu. He eventually finds her and
she is woken up due to Myoga sucking her blood. Tsuyu is glad to see
Nobunaga, her childhood friend. Kagome notices that Nobunaga has a crush
on the princess. Tsuyu explains that ever since the lord fell into a lake
he's been different. Nobunaga explains that when her father heard the
rumors he sent him to rescue her. Inuyasha hears the lord approaching and
gets ready for battle. The Lord attacks Inuyasha. Inuyasha cuts the cloth
on his face to reveal that the lord is actually a toad. Kagome detects a
Shikon shard his right shoulder. Myoga identifies the toad as Tsukomo a
lord demon. Despite Inuyasha and Nobunaga's efforts, Tsukomo runs off with
Tsuyu.
Inuyasha, Kagome and Nobunaga follow Tsukomo and see
that he put Tsuyu (and the other girls) into frog eggs. Inuyasha attacks
Tsukomo with Tetsusaiga, but Tsukomo uses the souls to heal his wounds.
Nobunaga frees Tsuyu from her egg. Inuyasha uses Tetsusaiga's dull side to
knock out Tsukomo. The real lord takes control and is in disbelieve about
his actions and asks Inuyasha to kill him. Nobunaga tells him not to,
Inuyasha eventually agrees and tells Nobunaga that the rest is up to him.
Tsukomo takes control again and attacks Nobunaga, who tells Kagome and
Tsuyu to run. Myoga tells Kagome that Tsukomo's weakness is heat. Tsukomo
appears in front of Kagome an Tsuyu. Using a candle and hair spray, Kagome
sends a wave of fire towards Tsukomo, which chases out of the lords body.
As Tsukomo is flying away, Inuyasha takes the Shikon shard from it. Tsuyu
is happily reunited with her lord, much to Nobunaga's dismay. The next
day, Kagome and Inuyasha say farewell to Nobunaga.
