Okay, so the first two seasons of InuYasha are on Netflix if you want to get a feel for that series, and The Final Act is on Crunchyroll, but let's say you don't wanna watch over 200 episodes of anime or read 63 volumes of manga in order to understand what's going on. That's...fair. It's a long series.
So here's the Cliffs Notes version of all the major events of InuYasha. This will get you all caught up for Yashahime, although you'll probably want to go back and watch the full series later if you have the time, because I am majorly oversimplifying most of the plot points, and leaving out most of the rest. (The entire Shichinintai arc? Skipping it. That time the Tetsusaiga broke? Skipping it. Every single demon InuYasha defeated by learning a new, awesome-to-watch sword technique? Skipping it.)
( Putting this behind a cut to save people's feeds )
And that's basically it, aside from the fact that InuYasha goes full human on the night of the full moon and is, while not quite defenseless, devoid of all the cool demon powers he's come to rely on for his safety.
Oh, and whenever he's separated from the Tetsusaiga and his life is in danger, he goes full youkai instead, and becomes ultra-violent and loses all semblance of self-control. I honestly don't remember if or how they finally resolved this, just that everyone's really careful not to leave InuYasha alone in combat situations so that he's less likely to go on a berserker demon rage.
