In medieval Japan, the half demon Inuyasha was confined by the priestess Kikyo. Years later he is awakened by Kagome, who has travelled through time. A sacred Shikon Jewel surfaces from a cut on body leaving her in shock.

Kagome finds out that she may be the reincarnation of Kaede's older sister, the priestess Kikyo, who sealed Inuyasha with her arrow.

Kagome and Inuyasha must work together to gather the shards of the jewel that were scattered.

Kagome has returned to the present when Inuyasha comes looking for her.

Kagome learns that Inuyasha is a half demon and Inuyasha's half brother Sesshomaru appears.

The muonna makes Inuyasha reveal the location of his father's grave. Sesshomaru removes Inuyasha's right eye and opens the entrance to the grave. Kagome goes with Inuyasha after Sesshomaru.
