At the narrow desk before him, at the centre of the room, sat Essek, straight backed and hands steepled, his form swallowed by the heaps of books and maps about him.

Summary
Set just after the Makai Tournament and before Yusuke returns to Human World, this story delves into the nature of the relationship between Yusuke and Kurama. Now that the dust of the fighting has settled and the three worlds are seemingly at peace, Yusuke decides to embark on one last quest, a pilgrimage through Demon World with Kurama as his guide. The duo will face trials by three ancient rites that will help them come to terms with how they feel about themselves, their future, and each other.
