A high school girl, Kagome, travels back in time through a well in the garden and arrives at a time of civil war. She has a mysterious ball which makes evil spirits more powerful. She has to fight the evil spirits that want the ball, joining forces with Inuyasha, a half-man, half-spirit ally.

Years ago, Genma promised his friend Soun Tendo that his son Ranma would marry one of Soun's three daughters, but Ranma had an unfortunate accident in China, and now, when he's splashed with cold water, he changes into a girl.

Flesh and Bone: As a half-breed with a human mother, Inu-Yasha has always been different from other demons, but Kagome never realized just how different until the rising of the new moon reveals Inu-Yasha's most carefully protected secret. Worse yet, a hideous ogress plan to resurrect Kikyo, the priestess who "killed" Inu-Yasha all those years ago, using the dead woman's bones ... and Kagome's soul! -Book cover

Aided by the priestess Kikyo, the demon Naraku continues to manipulate Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and their companions with illusions, and when it seems things cannot get worse for them, Inu-Yasha's brother, Sessho-Maru, returns.

What has become of the priestess Kikyo? Brought back to life by a horrible ogress, she's now a reanimated corpse, roaming the world in search of meaning. If she doesn't find a purpose soon, Inu-Yasha will be the unhappy target of her revenge.

Half-demon Inu-Yasha must decide which weapon will best suit him when he comes face-to-face with a sword inhabited by the soul of the demonic Goshinki.
