On her 15th birthday, Kagome is abducted by the centipede demon and he brings her back in time in the “sengoku jidai” (feudal era). There she frees the hanyou(half demon) Inuyasha who was sealed to the same tree  for 50 years so that he can save her from the centipede.  In the process, she discovers that the centipede is after shikon jewel which is inside her body. She is the reincarnation of an ancient miko(priestess)by the name of Kikyo. Just before dying, she instructed her sister to burn it with her body to keep it out of reach of demons and their evil intensions. Thats why Kagome was born with the jewel. She shattered mistakenly the jewel while shooting a demon bird who stole it. Thus she teamed up with Inuyasha to gather all the shards of the jewel.

In the meantime, she falls in love with Inuyasha . Most of the time she spends adventuring with him but she also returns to Tokyo just to give school exams.
