Kagome was an ordinary school girl until she was attacked by a large demon that appeared from an old, sacred well in the back of her home. Transported to a mysterious feudal world, she frees Inuyasha in order to save her from the very demon that dragged her into this feudal era.

    Through a hilarious "sit" spell, which causes Inuyasha's head to come smashing to the ground when Kagome yells "Sit", Kagome travels with Inuyasha in the search for the Shikon no Tama. She's very caring, but skilled with the bow, which carriers with it the power of a priestess that she has within her.

    Inuyasha is a half-demon (a hanyou). He fell in love with the priestess Kikyo, who guarded the Shikon no Tama. Though determined to become human, Kikyo and Inuyasha are turned against each other from the ever mysterious Naraku.

    Though headstrong and inexperienced when he is awakened from the barrier placed on him by Kikyo, he gains much experience and power. He eventually turns more good then evil, aided in part by his love for Kagome.
