Prologue

Introduction

It’s so much stress being committed to two different eras. In my present era, I have to study and uphold my regular life and in the feudal era, I have to fight demons and find shards of the Shikon jewel. My name is Kagome Higirashi and I am now 17 years old. I am not your average teen. I am the reincarnation of a priestess named Kikyo. She is the master at archery and was the protector of the jewel 50 (now 52) years ago. One person whom she loved and the same person I am now traveling with is Inuyasha. He is a half Inuyoukai (dog-demon) and half human. He wields the sword called the Tetsusaiga. Other friends I travel with are Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kirara. I’ll tell you more about them later. Now I’ll tell you more about myself.

In the present era in which I came from, I live in Tokyo, Japan. I live on my grandpa’s shrine and so everything pretty much has a legend attached to it. I live with my little brother (Sota), my mom, and my grandpa. I go to high school like a normal teenager with friends there. I’m always absent though (when I go to the Feudal Era), so my grandpa makes excuses up for me (sometimes too extreme illnesses) so my “boyfriend” here, Hojo always gives me things to care for my “illnesses.” Hojo is a really sweet person, but I don’t personally think I’m in love with him, but I haven’t got the heart to break it to him yet (I’m always busy anyways).

Well on my 15th birthday, when I was about to go to school, my brother wanted me to go get our cat, Buyo out of the mini shrine. This shrine held an old well called “The Bone-Eaters Well.” Sensing the Shikon jewel inside of me (didn’t know at the time), a demon (Centipede Woman) came out of the well and dragged me back to the Feudal Era where I started my adventures. Our sworn enemy is Naraku. He is an all-powerful half-demon (a mix of demons really) who also seeks after the jewel for his own personal reasons. Every individual within our group has a reason besides the jewel to kill him. We are really close on his trail now.

He disappeared when Inuyasha and Sesshomaru (Inuyasha’s half brother) were close to killing him. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru don’t get along very well since Sesshomaru abandoned him because of him being a half-breed (Sesshomaru was a full fledged demon). He was all alone as a child and blamed Sesshomaru for it. He was also after Inuyasha’s Tetsusaiga. We know the direction we’re going and we killed the demons we met along our paths. The pieces we have of the jewel almost make the whole jewel. The rest of the jewel is with Naraku. On a more personal note though, I have gotten closer than ever with my friends, especially Inuyasha. We may fight a lot, but deep down, I know we have feelings for each other as well as Sango and Miroku do. Miroku is a mysterious Buddhist monk that has a hole in his hand called the “abyss.” The abyss can suck up anything except Naraku’s poisonous insects. He has a personality of a lech though frankly, but still is fun to be around with. Sango is a demon slayer who is after Naraku for the revenge of her comrades and to get her little brother Kohaku back. Her pet and helpful companion is Kirara who is a cat demon that can transport us on her back and can fly. She also has a giant boomerang she uses in battle to slay demons called the Haraikotsu. She is very strong as a woman. Sango and Miroku get jealous of one another when the other is with another man (Miroku) or woman (Sango). Miroku often…err…touches her and she usually smacks him, but it’s a good relationship nevertheless.

Inuyasha often gets jealous of me when other guys mess with me, and I get jealous when he’s with Kikyo (she got killed 50 years ago, but was resurrected by a witch named Urasue). It’s a very confusing relationship - I know. We always need each other and I helped him for the better I would say. I promised to stay at his side and I never broke that promise and never plan to. Only I can detect the aura of the Shikon-No-Tama (another name for the Shikon Jewel). I also have a gift for purifying the jewel when it is in contact with demonic power. You could say I’m the new protector of the jewel since it came out of me. I also have these weird priestess powers you could say since I am a reincarnation of Kikyo. I can shoot sacred arrows. But enough about me, I’ll talk about the last valuable member of out team.

Our last traveler is Shippo. He is a child demon fox who travels with us because his father was killed and he has no one else to care for him. He decided to travel with us because Inuyasha killed the demons that killed his father and he was left orphaned. He is a shape shifter and uses his many toys and his foxfire to help us, though his shape shifting shows his tail and is only temporary. He likes to trick and annoy Inuyasha, and though Inuyasha seems to despise him, I know he still cares about him. He was the first to join Inuyasha and me. Miroku, and Sango and Kirara followed him up. So now that I told you about the rest of my friends, we now go to the present day of our journey.
