When the centipede demon rips it from her and swallows it, granting the demon a great boost in power, Kagome is forced to pull out the arrow and awaken Inuyasha so he can defeat it. It turns out that Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyō, and that she does possess the Shikon no Tama, embedded inside her body. Kaede relates the story of how, 50 years earlier, a hanyō named Inuyasha had tried to steal the Jewel from Kikyō, mortally wounding her in the process, but Kikyō had managed to strike him with a magical arrow, sealing him to the Time Tree and into an enchanted and supposedly eternal sleep, retrieving the Jewel before she finally died.
Kagome wanders and meets an old miko (priestess) by the name of Kaede, who claims that Kagome is the spitting image of Kikyō, her elder sister who had died and had her body burned with the Shikon no Tama, taking it with her into the afterlife. When she drives the demon off by an unknown and mysterious power, the very confused Kagome emerges in the Sengoku period of Japan. The demon claims that Kagome possesses the Shikon no Tama (aka Sacred/Shikon Jewel), and attempts to seize it. When she approaches the well a centipede demon bursts from the well and grabs her. She does this to retrieve her cat, Buyo, from the well, since her brother was afraid to go in the dark wellhouse. The story begins in Tokyo, Japan, with a junior high-school girl named Kagome Higurashi, who on her way to school heads to the covered well on the family property (which happens to be a Shintō shrine). InuYasha is a shōnen action adventure romantic comedy, with elements from the horror genre.
