glo the story The Shikon no Tama or Jewel of Four Souls can increase a youkai (demons) strength by many fold. The hanyou (half demon) Inuyasha (his name literally means 'Dog Demon') wanted the Shikon no Tama to become a full demon. Set in the Sengoku Jidai The series starts with Inuyasha attacking Musashi's village with the Shikon no Tama in his hands only to be struck through the heart and pinned to a tree by an arrow, sealing him there. The arrow belonged to the miko (priestess) Kikyou. Kikyou then takes the Shikon no Tama back and dies from a serious battle wound. She is then cremated with the Shikon no Tama to try rid it from the world so it doesn't fall into the hands of evil again. Forward to present times. Higurashi Kagome (last name first) was a normal japanese school girl, living with her mother, grandpa and younger brother in an old shrine turned into a house... until the day of her 15th birthday. Kagome gets mysteriously pulled back to the Sengoku Jidai through an old well near her house by a weird centerpeid woman saying that Kagome had the Shikon no Tama. Kagome repells the monster using a strange magical power. She climbs out and instantly realises that something is wrong. Looking around, she spots the 'goshinboku' ('old god tree'), a tree close to her house, and rushes off towards it. When she reaches it she finds a sleeping Inuyasha pinned to the tree. She walks up to him and notices that he doesn't have human ears... and tweaks them while Inuyasha still sleeps. She is then captured by some villagers and taken to Musas hi's Village. Kagome then meets Kaede the village priestess who notices that Kagome looks remarka bly like Kikyou... her deceased older sister. Anyway to cut a long story short, Kagome got kidnapped not too soon after but a crow demon disguised as the leader of a group of bandits, the crow demon takes the shikon no tama, Kagome fires an arrow at the crow, hits it and in doing so, shatters the shikon no tama which then scatters all over fuedal Japan. Kagome and Inuyasha then must collect all the fragments of the jewel together and restore it to its former self.
