About Kagome

Kagome Higurashi is a typical Japanese schoolgirl, with a typical family consisting of a mother, a brother, a grandfather, and a tubby cat named Buyo; she has typical teenage worries, such as exams and boys. However, something about Kagome is
not typical. Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a powerful priestess from Japan's feudal era. Through the power of a magic well, Kagome is able to travel five hundred years into the past, to the Sengoku Jidai, the era of the warring states. There, she learns that, as Kikyo's reincarnation, it is her duty to protect the sacred Shikon no Tama, a jewel which gives demons power. On her journey, she encounters many new friends and enemies--including Koga.
