About
the Inuyasha series:
Kagome is your average schoolgirl living in present day Tokyo. She was
brought through an ancient well by a demon to the past. There she finds
out that she is the reincarnation of a deceased priestess who guarded
the powerful Shikon jewel, which has the power to fufill any ambition
of man or demon. The jewel was reborn into her body. After saving the
jewel from one of the many demons after the jewel, it shattered, and the
Shikon shards were scattered across Japan. Now, Kagome must team up with
the half-demon InuYasha, who stole the jewel 50 years ago to be stopped
by Kagome's previous form, to retrieve the shards before they fall into
the wrong hands.
