Kikyō

A priestess who died protecting the shikon jewel.

Re-incarnation in Kagome
In present day Tokyo, the Higurashi family now resides in a shrine compound that houses the Time Tree and the ancient well. Kagome Higurashi, a middle-school student who just turned 15, has to retrieve their family cat Buyo from the well. She was ready to leave the well with the cat when a centipede y&#333;kai Mistress Centipede (Mukade J&#333;r&#333;) emerged from the well, dragging a very confused Kagome through the wormhole and back to the Sengoku period (Feudal Era of Japan) approximately 500 years ago. Kagome was proven to be Kikyo's reincarnation in that the Shikon Jewel was within her body; she awoke InuYasha and the adventure for her began.
