Who is Kikyo???
Mood:  surprised



Kikyou is a priestess from the Warring States Era (I think that's it). She is a very powerful Miko with incredible archery skills. She once guarded the Shikon no Tama and maintained its purity. Demons from all over tried to steal the jewel from her, but she killed them all. Until one day, a half-demon named Inuyasha tried to take it from her in order to become a full demon. She refused to kill him because he was half-human. So instead, he followed her around, and before anyone knew it, they had fallen in love.

Kikyou was blessed with supernatural powers and therefore, could not live the life of a normal woman. She constantly held responsibility, taking care of everyone, and guarding the jewel. So, she and Inuyasha decided one day that he'd use the jewel to become human, and therefore the Shikon would disappear and Kikyou will be free of her powers, and could live the life of a normal woman, allowing she and InuYasha to finally be together.

But things did NOT go as planned. An evil, shape-shifting demon named Naraku took on the form of InuYasha. He approached Kikyou and struck her down. Of course Kikyou didn't know that it wasn't really InuYasha, so she died hating him for "betraying" her. Then Naraku convinced the REAL InuYasha to break into Kikyou's village and steal the Shikon Jewel. Kikyou, bloodied and bruised, caught up with InuYasha, and with her last ounce of strength, she used her Enchanted Arrow to "kill" him, and she told her younger sister, Kaede, to burn the Shikon with her body.

Now you know about Priestess Kikyo. She should NEVER have InuYasha. Grrrr >:/

Fifty years later, Kikyou's ashes were stolen from Kaede's shrine, and a witch resurrected her in order to steal the undead Miko's powers. Kikyou saw InuYasha and she tried to kill him, thinking he betrayed her fifty years ago. She eventually learns the truth about her death, and now she's after Naraku.

Who is Kagome Higurashi????
Mood:  special



Kagome Higurashi was just a normal teenage girl living in Tokyo at the Sunset Shrine in the year 1997. Then, on the day of her fifteenth birthday, she stumbles into an old well on the shrine that her family cares for. A centipede demon grabs her and demands that Kagome give her the Shikon Jewel. Having no idea what the demon is talking about, she panics and somehow emits a purple light from her hands that appears to kill the demon.

After climbing back out of the well, she sees that she is in a forest. Running to where her house should be, she finds a tree with a boy pinned to it. Then villagers from a nearby village attack her thinking she is a shape shifting demon. The priestess of the village, Kaede, notices that Kagome strongly resembles her dead sister, Kikyou.

During their conversation, the demon attacks again. Kagome runs to the tree that the boy is pinned to, and after being injured by the demon, she releases the boy. The boy immediately demands that she hand over the jewel. By this time Kaede arrives and places a magical necklace on the boy that will immobilize him when Kagome says the word "sit". Kaede explains to her about the boy, Inuyasha, and how he was pinned to the tree. She also concludes that Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyou.

Later on in the day, the jewel is stolen by a crow demon and is shattered into many pieces which become scattered all over the land. Being the reincarnation of Kikyou, Kagome is also blessed with a sixth sense enabling her to find the jewel shards. She has also seemed to inherit some of Kikyou's archery skills, though her powers are still seriously under-developed.

Now you know Kagome. ^_^

Who is InuYasha????


Inuyasha is the main character along with Kagome, and is the namesake of the series. His name translates into "Dog Demon", and is one of two sons of the Lord Inuyoukai. Inuyasha is a demi-youkai, meaning he is half-demon and half-human. His brother, on the other hand, is full youkai and dispises his brother for being a half-breed.

Because of his bloodline, Inuyasha inherited the powers of a demon and some of his fathers characteristics, including his eyes, fangs, claws, dog ears, and hair. He also has the ability to heal incredibly fast in his demon state. He is as strong as most full-youkai, but he does have weaknesses due to his human heritage. On the night of a new moon, his demon powers vanish and he becomes human.

Fifty years ago, Inuyasha was in love with the pristess Kikyou who was the gaurdian of the Shikon Jewel [Shikon no Tama]. An evil demon known as Naraku turned them against each other, and Kikyou pined Inuyasha to a tree with a sacred arrow. She died then after.

In his quest for the Shikon Jewel, Inuyasha meets Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. Everyone but Kagome and Shippo has reason to hate Naraku.
