Story: Kagetsu is a member of a feline tribe, who at age 60 becomes a male or female depending on his "mate." (we'll call him a "he," since he calls himself "boku") One snowy day, Kagetsu approaches Tsuchimikado Arimasa, a priest/shaman, and tells him that he would like to bear his children... The 2-part OVA is from one of the story arcs, Aki Kyogen (Autumn Threat), of the manga. The kage-musha of the Shogun is attacked by a man in a dark robe and a gold-haired panther. The shogun accuses Arimasa of conspiring to kill him, and Arimasa and Kagetsu escape into the mountains.
