Shikon Jewel Introduction

Kagome is transported to medieval Japan and discovers InuYasha, beginning their quest to collect Shikon jewel shards.

Kagome Higurashi, an ordinary modern Japanese schoolgirl, is transported five hundred years into the past through a mystical well located behind her family's shrine. In medieval Japan, she discovers InuYasha, a half-demon warrior imprisoned by a sacred arrow fired by Kikyo, a powerful priestess. When a demon attacks, Kagome's spiritual power awakens, allowing her to purify Shikon jewel shards. Realizing her unique ability makes her valuable, InuYasha and Kagome form an uneasy partnership to collect the jewel shards scattered across medieval Japan, with the understanding that collecting all shards will grant a wish to whoever gathers them.
