<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">The story begins in Tokyo, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  Japan<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">, with a fifteen-year-old middle school girl named Kagome Higurashi, who lives on the grounds of her family's hereditary <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  Shinto<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">shrine. When she goes into the well house to retrieve her cat, Buyo, a centipede demon bursts out of the enshrined Bone Eater's Well and pulls her through it. As she leaves the well, Kagome appears in the ancient Sengoku period<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">of Japan. During the demon's previous attack, a magical jewel known as the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls (Shikon no tama) was embodied from Kagome. She then becomes the demon's target and it tries to consume the Jewel and kill Kagome. In desperation, Kagome unseals the half-dog demon, half-human InuYasha who was placed on a tree fifty years ago by Kagome's incarnation <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  Kikyo<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">, the young <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  miko<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">of the village in charge of the Sacred Jewel who had, upon her death, requested that the Jewel be burned in her funeral pyre so no one could ever abuse its tremendous power. Although InuYasha destroys the centipede, the Sacred Jewel is later shattered into numerous shards that disperse across Japan. Even the individual shards are capable of granting great power of the whole entire Jewel, and are eagerly sought by humans and demons alike. InuYasha and Kagome set out to collect the shards to avoid disasters caused by the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls.

They are mainly opposed by Naraku, a devious and powerful collective, shape-shifting half-demon who manipulated the initial conflict between Kikyo and InuYasha, Sango's clan's destruction and was responsible for Miroku's curse. Naraku collects the shards for himself and continues setting up traps on InuYasha and his companions to take Kagome's fragments of the Sacred Shikon Jewel. Other people they find are InuYasha's older half-brother Sesshomaru, who wishes to kill Naraku after he tried to manipulate him, Kikyo, now partially resurrected with a fragment of Kag ome's reincarnated soul/spirit, and a wolf demon named  Koga, most of whose comrades were killed by Naraku's forces.
