Her family is of miko and houshi (priestess and priest) decent whereas in their family only Kagome possesses spiritual powers. The shrine houses an old dry well called the Bone Eater's Well that Kagome was pulled down into on her fifteenth birthday three years earlier.

It has been three years since she first fell down the well and ended up in the past. She can also pass through the well from the past to the future any time she chooses so she is not stuck in either era.

Setting: A warm spring day where the temperate feels almost summery. The sun shines down strongly upon the forest floor of the small open clearing as only wisps of clouds attempt to block its light. There are cools breezes that blow through the many trees. The grass is a vibrant green, soft and crunchy as nearby plants bloom their flowers creating a prism of colors. Birds forming a chorus of sounds perch high above in the trees. Small animals scurry across the forest foot happily gaining nuts and fallen berries.
