About This Book
InuYasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale (Sengoku Otogizōshi InuYasha, lit.
"Warring-States Fairy-Tale Book: InuYasha") (romanized as INUYASHA), is
a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi.
The story begins in Feudal Japan, when the half-demon InuYasha steals
the Jewel of Four Souls—a magical jewel that enhances the power of and
can grant a single wish to the one who wields it—from a village.
InuYasha desires the gem in order to turn himself into a full blooded
demon. InuYasha does not get far before Kikyo, the young miko of the
village, shoots him with a sacred arrow that indefinitely seals him onto
Goshinboku, a sacred tree in the nearby forest. After being mortally
wounded, Kikyo tells her younger sister, Kaede, to burn the jewel with
her body to prevent it from falling into the hands of evil.
In modern Tokyo, a junior high school girl named Kagome Higurashi is on
her way to school. She stops in the well house of her family's Shinto
shrine to retrieve her cat, Buyo, when a centipede demon emerges from
the well and pulls her into the Sengoku period of Japan.
Not knowing where she is, Kagome wanders around a forest near the Bone
Eater's Well. She spots Goshinboku off in the distance and proceeds
towards it. On the tree, she finds InuYasha, who is still sealed in an
enchanted sleep. Villagers seize her and take her to the old priestess,
Kaede. Recognizing that Kagome is the reincarnation of her sister Kikyo,
Kaede tells her the story of Kikyo and InuYasha.
The centipede attacks again, and Kagome is forced to release InuYasha
from his enchantment so he can kill it. After defeating the centipede,
InuYasha tries to take the Jewel of Four Souls from Kagome. In order to
thwart InuYasha and to save Kagome's life, Kaede places magical prayer
beads around InuYasha's neck so that Kagome can subdue him.
The Jewel of Four Souls attracts more demons, and in a battle against a
carrion crow demon, the jewel is shattered into numerous shards that
spread all across Japan. As the individual shards are capable of
granting those who embed it in their bodies with great power, it is
sought after by many demons as well as some humans.
Kagome and InuYasha set out to collect the shards and restore the Jewel
of Four Souls. Along the way, they befriend Shippo, a fox demon; Miroku,
a cursed monk; and Sango, a demon-slayer whose brother was possessed and
forced to slaughter their father and the other demon slayers. The group
encounters many friends and foes during the adventure, including
InuYasha's older half-brother Sesshomaru; Kikyo, who died 50 years ago
but, was resurrected with part of Kagome's soul; Naraku, who tricked
Kikyo and InuYasha into turning against each other; and a wolf demon
named Koga, who is in love with Kagome and whenever he and InuYasha meet
they constantly bicker.
Eventually, the Shikon jewel is reassembled by Naraku, who is then
defeated by InuYasha. Before he dies, Naraku makes a wish on the jewel
that Kagome would replace the soul of Midoriko, the jewel's original
creator, within the jewel and that his soul would also enter the jewel
so he could survive inside as her enemy. This would only work if Kagome
made a selfish wish, which Naraku tries to trick her into doing, but
confident that InuYasha would rescue her, she refuses to do so. InuYasha
rescues her and Kagome wishes for the jewel to disappear forever.
Kagome is thrown back into her own time, and InuYasha is no longer able
to see her. However, after three years when Kagome has graduated high
school, a portal opens allowing her to return to InuYasha's time. They
acknowledge their love for one another and she chooses to remain in the
past with him.
