Story of InuYasha
Kagome is a 15 year old girl who lives in modern day Tokyo. On her 15th birthday, she is pulled through the Bone-eater's well by a demon and travels back in time to Japan's Fuedal Era about 500 years ago. It is here that she meets Inu-Yasha, a half-demon who tried to steal a powerful jewel called the Shikon Jewel a.k.a. The jewel of four souls, in order to become a full demon. However, before Inuyasha got away with the jewel, the priestess who guarded the jewel, Kikyou, used an arrow to seal Inu-Yasha magically to a tree forever, before herself dying due to an arrow wound. She had the jewel cremated with her, and now Kagome, who is the re-incarnation of Kikyou, has brought the jewel back to the Fuedal Era 50 years after Kikyou had died , and releases Inu-Yasha from the entrapment spell. Not long after this, the jewel becomes shattered due to Kagome shooting an arrow at it, now Inu-Yasha must to team up with Kagome in order to collect the shards, and they meet many friends while doing so, and many enimies as well.
