Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo cross paths with Miroku, a lecherous monk with a "black hole" in his right hand. Miroku explains that his black hole (Wind Tunnel) came from the evil Naraku, an extremely evil shapeshifter who cursed his grandfather and his descendents with the Wind Tunnel. Inuyasha also learns something new about what happened to him and Kikyo, long ago.
