Modern-day junior high school student Kagome Higurashi, who lives with her mother, little brother, and priest grandfather at the family shrine, splits her time between school work, friends, and gallivanting through the Japanese feudal era, which she can access via an old well on the shrine grounds. She's been journeying with the half-demon Inuyasha, the monk Miroku, the demon-slayer Sango, and cute little fox demon Shippo in their quest to collect fragments of the mystical Shikon Jewel, which can empower the demons that run rampant in that era. Chief amongst their adversaries is the powerful, scheming half-demon Naraku and his primary incarnation, the Wind Sorceress Kagura, who have caused Inuyasha and crew considerable grief in the past. They must also occasionally contend with the wolf demon Koga, who sees himself (rightly or wrongly) as a rival to Inuyasha for Kagome's love; the undead priestess Kikyo, Inuyasha's former love; and Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru, who has never gotten along with Inuyasha. As Kagome's posse searches for the final few fragments of the Shikon Jewel the other opposition includes a demon tree, a dark priestess, demon bats, a clan of panther demons, a new incarnation of Naraku, and Jaken, the henchman of Sesshomaru, who decides to make his boldest move yet.
