The Story: Kagome is a normal high school student who lives in an ancient shrine. One day, while looking for her cat in one of the old buildings of the shrine, she's pulled into an old well by some kind of monster. When she wakes up, she discovers that she is in feudal Japan! She finds a boy there named Inuyasha, who is half youkai (monster)-half human and has been sealed in a deep slumber for 50 years by a powerful priestess, for trying to steal a jewel of great power which belonged to the priestess. Kagome finds out that she herself is the reincarnation of the same priestess that sealed Inuyasha, and that the incredibly powerful magical jewel, which is called the Shikon no Tama, or Jewel of the Four Souls, is inside her own body. But a monster steals the Shikon no Tama from her, and Kagome, not knowing the special powers she possesses, accidentally shatters the Shikon no Tama into thousands of pieces while trying to get it back. The shards scatter all across the earth, which is bad because even just a shard of the jewel, when in the wrong hands, can cause great destruction. Kagome feels like she has a responsibility to find all the shards because she scattered them, and Inuyasha also wants the Shikon, because they would give him the power he wants to become full youkai. Though their motives are completely different, Inuyasha and Kagome team up to find the lost shards together.
