Inuyasha, Volume 5

Historical Action and Romance From One of Japan's Most Beloved Creators Kagome is a modern Japanese high school girl. She has always been the sort who never really believed in myths and legends, until one day when a hideous, otherworldly creature pulls her out of her own world and into Japan's ancient past! There she discovers more than a few of those dusty old legends are true, and her destiny is linked to one legendary creature in particular-a doglike half-demon called Inu-Yasha! That same trick of fate also ties both of them to the Shikon Jewel, or "Jewel of Four Souls," the smallest shard of which can gift the user with unimaginable power. 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 plans to resurrect Kikyo, the priestess who "killed" Inu-Yasha all those years ago, using the dead woman's bones...and Kagome's soul!Rumiko Takahashi is the author of 'Inuyasha, Volume 5', published 2003 under ISBN 9781591160526 and ISBN 1591160529.
