InuYasha(犬夜叉)is a popular manga series written by Rumiko Takahashi. The story centers around a time traveling middle school student and her friends (a half-demon, a lecherous monk, a kitsune, a demon slayer, and her nekomata companion) in the Sengoku Period(战国时代) who seek to restore the Shikon no Tama and keep it out of the hands of the evil Naraku.
The story begins in feudal Japan with InuYasha, a hanyō stealing the Jewel of Four Souls(四魂之玉), a jewel that can increase anyone's powers enormously, from a village. He doesn't get far before Kikyo, the young miko of the village shoots InuYasha with a sacred arrow, sealing him forever to the Sacred Tree. Mortally wounded, Kikyo tells her younger sister, Kaede, to burn the jewel with her remains to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
In modern Tokyo, a junior high-school girl named Kagome Higurashi is on her way to school. She stops in the well house of her family Shinto shrine to retrieve her cat, Buyo, and a centipede demon bursts forth and pulls her into the well. Kagome miraculously fends off the demon and emerges from the well in the Sengoku period of Japan.
Not knowing where she is, Kagome wanders around a forest near the well. She spots the Sacred Tree off in the distance and proceeds to towards it. When she reaches it she finds InuYasha, who is still sealed with an arrow to the tree, asleep. Villagers seize her and take her to the old miko, Kaede. Recognizing that Kagome is the re-incarnation of her sister Kikyo, Kaede tells the story of Kikyo and InuYasha.
The centipede attacks again, and Kagome is forced to release InuYasha to kill it. After defeating the centipede, in order to prevent InuYasha from taking the Jewel of Four Souls, Kaede casts magical prayer beads around InuYasha's neck so Kagome can subdue him.
Then the jewel attracts more demons. And in a battle against a carrion-crow the jewel is shattered into numerous shards.
Kagome and InuYasha set out to collect the shards and restore the Jewel of Four Souls. Along the way they befriend Shippo, a fox demon, Miroku, a monk, and Sango, a demon-slayer. The group often encounters InuYasha's brother Sesshomaru, Naraku who tricked Kikyo and InuYasha into turning against each other, and Koga, a wolf demon in love with Kagome.
