InuYasha

Years after being sealed away, half-demon Inuyasha is awakened by a high school girl named Kagome who's time slipped back to the Sengoku period.

Granted the power to control Inuyasha, Kagome learns that she may be the reincarnation of Kaede's older sister Kikyo who sealed Inuyasha away.

Kagome and Inuyasha each need the other's abilities to gather the scattered shards of the Shikon Jewel, but the two don't get along.

Back in the present, Kagome is relaxing at home when Inuyasha comes looking for her, and she returns with him to the past to find Yura.

Inuyasha's half brother Sesshomaru appears, looking for the tomb of their father who was a dog demon. Kagome learns about Inuyasha's past.

Despite Kagome's assistance in thwarting him, Sesshomaru figures out the location of Inuyasha's father's tomb, which contains a sword he desires.

Kagome is able to pull the sword Tetsusaiga out of the altar, and Sesshomaru tries to kill her, angering Inuyasha and triggering a brothers' duel.

Inuyasha and Kagome meet a young samurai named Nobunaga whose lord has been possessed by a toad demon, and they set off to rescue a princess.

On their journey, Inuyasha and Kagome meet Shippo, a young fox demon who steals a shard of the Shikon Jewel to avenge his murdered father.

Inuyasha duels Hiten while Shippo tries to use his magic to rescue Kagome from Manten, but the Thunder Brothers won't be defeated so easily.
