Story of Inuyasha

---

Kagome Higurashi is a modern-day young girl who lives with her family by the old Higurashi shrine. Unbeknownst to Kagome, she is the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo, former keeper of the Shikon Jewel "Jewel of Four Souls" (Shikon no Tama). One ill-fated day, Kagome locates an ancient well near her home and is abruptly transported through the well and into a feudal Japan, inhabited by demons. There, she encounters half-demon Inuyasha, son of a powerful dog-demon father and a human mother, who is pinned to a tree by an enchanted arrow. Kagome frees Inuyasha from the tree before she learns that all of the demons, including Inuyasha, are after the Shikon jewel in her possession. To prevent the jewel from being stolen, Kagome accidentally shoots it with the enchanted arrow, shattering it into thousands of pieces. The evil Naraku also seeks the jewel for his own reasons. New allies, Kagome and Inuyasha, join forces with Shippo, a small fox-demon, Miroku, a monk, and Sango, the sole surviving demon-hunter, in order to combat Naraku and recover the fragments of the "Jewel of Four Souls".
