The story opens with a young Inu-papa separated from his mother, and his subsequent quest to find her again. Along the way he meets various other characters who help him become stronger and learn more about himself, eventually leading to his final role as a ''youkai'' lord.
The story is somewhat of a PatchworkFic in that it borrows Inu-papa's character design from ''"[[Manga/InuYasha Inuyasha]] The Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler"'', but otherwise derives its canon only from the manga. It attempts to maintain a [[OriginalFlavor similar tone]] to the source material with a balance of humor and drama, however it will habitually devote much more time to character analysis and social commentary than the original ''{{Manga/InuYasha}}'' series.
