Fifty years later, Kikyō's modern-day reincarnation, fifteen-year-old 

Kagome
Higurashi, entered the feudal era through the Bone-Eater's Well, unknowingly
bringing the Shikon no Tama with her. The jewel's presence awakened nearby
demons, but it was the scent of Kagome's blood when she was attacked by a
reanimated Mistress Centipede that roused Inuyasha from his spell.[9] Upon first
seeing her, Inuyasha mistook Kagome for Kikyō, due to their similar appearances,
but his sense of smell proved they were indeed different people. Inuyasha was
subsequently freed by Kagome in order to help fight off Mistress Centipede.[10] After
killing Mistress Centipede, Inuyasha attacked Kagome to get the Shikon Jewel for
himself,[10] but was thwarted by an elderly Kaede. She put her deceased
sister's Beads of Subjugation around the hanyō's neck, which allowed Kagome to
subdue him simply by saying the word "Sit!"[11]
Being unable to remove the necklace, Inuyasha was effectively rendered powerless
in Kagome's presence. Soon after, Kagome accidentally shattered the Sacred Jewel
while shooting at a crow demon that was attempting to escape with it, and the
shards were scattered around Japan. Inuyasha reluctantly agreed to team up with
her to find and collect all of the fragments.
Quest to find the Sacred Jewel fragments
Inuyasha and Kagome began their journey to collect the shards of the Sacred Jewel,
their tolerance for one another growing after defeating their first major enemy, Yura
of the Demon Hair. Afterward, Inuyasha's half-brother, the full demon Sesshōmaru,
came asking the whereabouts of the Tōga's tomb, seeking the treasure that was
endowed there. The two brothers' encounter allowed Inuyasha to obtain
the Tessaiga, a fang-sword that originally belonged to his father, which Sesshōmaru
had sought. After obtaining the sword and temporarily defeating his brother,
Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship deepened, and they began to care for one
another. As time passed, they started to gain allies in their quest for the shards,
notably Shippō, Miroku, and Sango. A demon ogre sorceress named Urasue brought
Kikyō back to life[12] and thereafter Inuyasha learned of the existence of the
nefarious shape-shifting demon known as Naraku also looking for the shards from
Miroku whose grandfather Miyatsu had been cursed to create the Kazaana and upon
learning that Naraku must have set a trap for Kikyō 50 years ago and tricked them
both into betraying one another, vowed to destroy him and avenge Kikyō. [13]

Naraku has created two incarnations Kagura and Kanna. Naraku orders Kagura to kill
Kōga’s comrades set up Inuyasha.[14] Kanna was using her mirror to reflect
Inuyasha’s windscar attack and he was badly wounded. Naraku shows and tells
Inuyasha that the Jewel is nearly whole.[15] After Kikyō stole a chunk of the Shikon
no Tama from Kagome.[16] Naraku has created a third incarnation of Goshinki and
orders the destruction of Inuyasha’s comrades. Goshinki reads the thoughts of
those that are employed in the attack and witnesses the breaking of
Inuyasha’s Tessaiga. Suddenly Goshinki sensed a change in Inuyasha's mind. While
he was in full-yōkai form he defeated Goshinki to protect his friends. Inuyasha's
yōkai blood takes over him. Kagome is not afraid and approaches Inuyasha
with calming words. Then Inuyasha is able to snap out of it and return to himself.[17]
While Tōtōsai reforged Tessaiga for three days, Inuyasha’s allies learned his secret
about him losing his powers at the new moon. Kaijinbō arrived to hunt Inuyasha and
was holding Tōkijin made of Goshinki’s corpse commissioned to be forged for
Sesshōmaru. Tōtōsai finally arrives with Tessaiga and he got his demon powers back
from sunrise. But unfortunately his Tessaiga’s blade is very heavy and finally
Kaijinbo is defeated. Tōtōsai explained to Inuyasha that Tessaiga was reforged with
Inuyasha’s own fang Sesshōmaru arrived and wielded Tōkijin.[18] Inuyasha & Kōga
defeat Naraku’s two incarnations Jūrōmaru and Kagerōmaru.[19]
