His mother was a human and his father was a demon. 500 years ago Inuyasha fell in love with Kikyo, a priestess who protected the legendary Shikon Jewel. Kikyo told Inuyasha that he could use the jewel to make himself a full human. However, the evil demon Naraku tricked Inuyasha and Kikyo into hating each other! Kikyo used the last of her strength to seal Inuyasha to a tree using one of her arrows. After being sealed for 50 years, Inuyasha was released by Kagome, who was supposedly the reincarnation of Kikyo. When the shards of the Shikon Jewel were spread all across feudel Japan, Inuyasha and Kagome had to team up in order to collect them all before evil demons did.
After thinking that Kikyo had betrayed him, Inuyasha became insolent and he refused to accept any friendship or trust. But after the many adventures that he and Kagome went through, all of the dangers they faced, and the friends that they made...well, let�s just say that Inuyasha�s heart began to open up more to friendship and trust. Through their many battles and hardships together, Inuyasha�s and Kagome�s bond began to deepen into more than just friendship(Ahh, sweet true love ~^^~). Inuyasha is still a bit of a hot-head, but he�s got a good and noble heart down inside!
Some of Inuyasha�s specialties: he can run really fast, and jump really high.
His red cloack can repel fire, and his Soul-Reaping Iron Claws attack can rip up
most demons. His sword Tetsuaiga, which was made from his father�s fang, is
probably his best weapon. Like all half-demons, Inuyasha becomes full human once
a month during a new moon.
Kagome was just an average 9th grader; she lived with her mother, grandfather, little brother, Souta, and cat, Buyo. Her family owned a shrine with a well in it, and one day, while looking for Buyo in the shrine, Kagome was pulled down the well by a centipede demon. Upon arriving 500 in the past, feudel Japan, Kagome soon discovered that she�s the reincarnation of the preistess Kikyo, who protected the legendary Shikon Jewel(the jewel was inside her body!). When the shards of the jewel were scattered throughout feudel Japan, Inuyasha and Kagome had to learn to work together in order to collect them before evil demons use them to gain more power.
At first, Inuyasha and Kagome didn�t get along too well, but after many
difficult battles with demons, they grew closer and closer, into more than just
friends(Ahh, sweet true love ~^^~). Like Kikyo, Kagome�s specialty is using a
bow and arrow. Her arrows also have special purifying effect. She�s friendly and
outgoing, but she can also be quite brave if the need arises.
Kikyo was once a renowned priestess given the task to care for the mystical Shikon Jewel. However, she fell in love with Inuyasha and was later tricked into hating him by Naraku. After suffering a major injury(from Naraku disguised as Inuyasha)she used the last of her strength to seal Inuyasha to a tree. Her body was later cremated along with the Shikon Jewel.
After Inuyasha was freed and joined Kagome in searching for the Shikon
shards, the witch Urasue used her powers to ressurect Kikyo. Now Kikyo wanders
from village to village, using her powers to help people when she can. However,
since she�s basically just an empty shell of a real human being, she relies on
her �soul snatchers� to bring her dead souls for energy. Her relationship with
Inuyasha is still a bit shaky and ambivalent. She continues to carry a severe
hatred inside of her, but she simply cannot bring herself to truly harm him.
Sango came from a family of demon exterminators. When she was with her little brother Kohaku on his first demon extermination, a village had been attacked by a spider demon. Sango, Kohaku, their father, and the rest of their comrades had come to destroy it. However, Naraku was pulling the strings in this fight. He posed as the village leader�s son(the leader was really one of Naraku�s puppets). He used the spider demon�s web to control Kohaku�s mind and forced him to attack his allies. Using his blade weapon, Kohaku unknowingly killed his father and all his companions as well! When he went after Sango, she tried her best to snap him out of it. But Naraku convinced the villagers that the two had gone crazy, and should be killed. So the villagers attacked, killing Kohaku and severely injuring Sango. While Naraku pretended to take care of Sango, he also made a copy of himself, and he purposly spoke to the copy just so Sango would over hear him. He said that Inuyasha had attacked her village and killed everyone...Inuyasha was responsible for it all! After hearing this, Sango was determined to kill Inuyasha. But when she attacked, Inuyasha and the others convinced her that Naraku was the real villain. After giving her people a proper burial, Sango joined Inuyasha�s group in pursuit of Naraku.
Sango�s weapon is her demon-ripping Bone Boomerang. She also has Kirara, a cute little cat demon that accompanies her(and can turn into a huge flying kitty if necessary! ^_^). Sango�s a bit quieter and withdrawn than the rest of the group, but she does have a slight crush on Miroku...but if he gets too carried away, she�ll slap him a good one!
Sesshomaru is Inuyasha�s brother. But unlike Inuyasha, he is a full demon. The two of them don�t exactly have a blossoming brotherly relationship. This is probably due to the fact that Sesshomaru acts quite wicked and mercilessly most of the time, and he thinks nothing of killing whoever gets in his way. He even frightens his bungling little imp servent, Jaken. He also despises all humans, which is the main reason why he was unable to obtain the Tetsuaiga. Much to his dismay, the sword he has, Tenseiga, is a healing sword. But even when he�s not battling with a sword, Sesshomaru is really powerful and his poisonous claws definitely shouldn�t be taken lightly!
Even though Sesshamaru has that sort of �silent and ruthless villain� way
about him, there is some evidence that he isn�t entirely evil. After getting
wounded in a battle with Inuyasha, Sesshomaru was approached by a little orphan
girl named Rin. She offered him food, and even though he didn�t want to eat it,
he seemed to be a bit touched by her kindness. He made that evident by bringing
her back to life with Tenseiga after she was killed by a pack of wolves and
letting her accompany him on his travels.
His grandfather was cursed by Naraku; an air void was opened up in his right hand that sucked in anything. And so, Miroku inherited that curse. While seeking revenge on Naraku(and picking up an occasional girl along the away!), Miroku met Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo, and sort of joined their little group(once again, Inuyasha could take him or leave him ^^,,,)
Even though he�s basically a nice guy that never gets too worked up about
anything, Miroku is a bit of a pervert...I mean, he finds pleasure in stroking
girls� butts! When Sango joins the group, she develops a little crush on
him...but if he �touches� her, she won�t hesitate to give him a good slap! >)
Little Shippo was just an orphan fox demon when Inuyasha and Kagome found him. His father had been killed by the Thunder Brothers, and Shippo was seeking revenge! After quite a hard struggle, the trio were able to defeat the two brothers, and Shippo decided to accompany Inuyasha and Kagome on their quest(Kagome likes him...but Inuyasha could take him or leave him ^^,,,).
Don�t let Shippo�s size fool you! He�s an expert at shape-shifting and
creating illusions. And if all else fails, he can throw out his Fox Fire!
If ever there was a villain who wanted all the power, but never fought his fights for himself, Naraku takes the cake! In Japanese, his name literally means �depths of hell,� and it matches him shockingly well. He�s responsible for almost all of the tragedies and wrong-doings that Inuyasha and company have come across; he�s responsible for tricking Inuyasha and Kikyo into hating each other, the curse of the wind tunnel in Miroku�s family, the death of Sango�s family and using her brother as a servent, trapping and killing many of Koga�s comrades, and even tricking Sesshomaru into joining forces with him for a while. But he almost never performs any of his schemes for himself. He often has other demons do them for him, or he creates servents for himself, such as Kagura who can control wind, and Kanna ,who has a mirror that can steal souls.
Naraku was created when hundreds of demons fused with the theif Onigumo.
Because Onigumo is still a part of him, he finds that he still has some awkward
feelings toward Kikyo. The reason he turned Inuyasha and Kikyo against each
other was because he wanted the Shikon Jewel. And only if it was tainted with
darkness(caused by Kiyo�s hatred of Inuyasha) would its evil power be strong. So
now that the shards of the Jewel have been scattered all over ancient Japan,
Naraku will use whatever means necassary to get them all!
Rin is on the right, and Jakken is on the left.
