Kagome Higurashi

Kagome Higurashi is a 15 year old Japanese schoolgirl. Her life consists of going to school and hearing legends from her crazy grandfather. She never believes these legends until one day she is pulled into a well in her family's shrine and she meets a centipede monster. The centipede monster wants the Shikon No Tama, or Sacred Jewel of Four Souls, from her. Kagome fights the demon and is transported into a village of Feudal Japan, or the Sengoku Jidai period. She there mets Priestess Kaede and then meets the hanyou, or half-demon, InuYasha, who is pinned to a tree with an enchanted arrow. She then meets the centipede demon and awakes InuYasha to battle it.Kagome realizes the Shikon No Tama is inside of her body and gets hurt by the centipede monster and it emerges from her body. She frees InuYasha and then he defeats the centipede youkai easily. Then InuYasha and Kagome are against each other as Kagome realizes that he isn't the hero. Then the Shikon No Tama is stolen by a Carrion crow and Kagome shoots it with a arrow with it's foot attached. The Shikon No Tama is then shattered into tiny pieces, hundreds... thousands.. who knows.. and then InuYasha and Kagome must now search for the shards. Kagome then is told by Priestess Kaede that she is a reincarnation of Kikyou, a great priestess. They meet many friends and enemies along the way.
