The Crown Jewel

"Don't you fucking touch her, you sick bastard!"

The yell echoed quite loudly throughout the forest as a young half-demon brandished his sword and waved it threateningly at the wind demon, who sniggered before waving him off nonchalantly.

"It isn't the human I want, you ignorant half-breed. It's the jewel she carries," he said in a smooth, seductive voice. The woman behind the said 'half-breed' froze again, the sound of the demon's voice shaking her to the very core. "Of course," the demon purred, "it wouldn't hurt to have the girl too…"

Inuyasha growled menacingly and stood closely to his bitch, who had collapsed to the ground due to the sensations she was receiving. He moved in front of her, intent of becoming a barrier so she could regain her composure.

"Get up, Kagome," Inuyasha hissed, nudging her slightly with his foot but not taking his eyes off of the threat. "You can beat him, just get up…"

Beside him, Miroku took up the same position with his companion, Sango, who was leaning heavily on her Hiraikotsu, her violently shaking knees ready to give out any moment.

Kagome snatched the leg of Inuyasha's hakama, trying to stand herself up, but a sudden breeze caressed her body intimately and she fell back to the ground, trying hard to stifle her moan. Sango collapsed to the ground as well, panting heavily, her nails digging into the earth beneath her.

Not even seconds after, the wind demon charged, his long talons protruding in front of him for an offensive attack. He went for Miroku first, knowing that the human wouldn't be as strong as the half-breed, but was blocked when the monk used his staff as a barrier and slammed two fingers into the unsuspecting demon, straight into one of the major pressure points.

The wind quickly carried the demon away into the trees, where he was visible only to Inuyasha, and massaged his right arm, trying to get the blood flowing again.

"Damn monk…" the demon hissed, ceasing his attempts to move his arm when he realized that it was in vain. "Should have known a priest would know about pressure points…"

His talons had reduced to small claws while he worked his arm; his hand looked almost that of a human's, but the talons sprouted once more as he flew from the tree and at the monk again. This time, he was charged by Inuyasha and narrowly avoided the dangerous strike that the half-demon threw.

"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed, jumping backwards and preparing for defense as the demon came flying at him, his long fangs bared.

"Filthy half-breed!" the wind demon snarled, slashing wildly at Inuyasha with his good arm. Inuyasha blocked with his sword in one hand and raised the other to bring down in a deathly swipe, but then the breeze picked up harder than ever, blowing dirt into his eyes. Falling back, Inuyasha heard Miroku take over as he furiously rubbed at his eyes, cursing all the while.

Meanwhile, Sango used her boomerang to stand up on her knees before forcing herself to her feet. She was red faced and panting heavily, sweat pouring off her in rivers as her legs continued to shake violently. She spared a glance over to Kagome only to see that her friend was already on her feet and notching an arrow. Little Shippo was standing by her feet, pushing against her as if he was the strength keeping her up.

But then, there was another breeze that forced its way through her slayer outfit. Sango cried out and fell back to her knees, her hands clutching her Hiraikotsu. Beside her, Kirara growled and nudged her side, willing her to stand up, but she couldn't.

The wind continued to caress her, and Sango found that she couldn't control the way her hips bucked towards the draft. She bit her lip, trying not to cry out again. It felt like all of the energy was being drained out of her.

"Sango!" Miroku cried while dodging a hard punch from the demon. With a war cry of outrage, the monk pushed heavily back on the wind demon and slashed at him with the tip of his staff, cutting a very thin line through his cheek.

The demon reared back, cupped his bleeding cheek, and examined the blood that wiped off on his hand. He smirked and leisurely licked the blood away as the wound began to heal. Then, with a flick of his hand, the wind shifted once more and a wave of dirt flew up in Miroku's face, blinding him temporarily until he was shoved roughly aside.

"Out of the way, Miroku!" Inuyasha shouted. All Miroku heard was the loud clash of talons against steel and quickly rolled away to the side, not wanting to be in Inuyasha's way if the fight came towards him.

Inuyasha quickly distracted the demon from Miroku as he rolled away before shooting a quick glance at Kagome. She had collapsed to the ground again, but was on her knees and setting her bow and arrow into position, sweat trickling on her brow and her entire body shaking violently.

Catching his breath, Inuyasha shoved the wind demon away with a powerful thrust of Tetsusaiga and reared back, lifting the sword above his head.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha roared before bringing the blade down before him and covering his eyes as a tornado of dirt and dust flew up from the ground.

The demon laughed loudly. "Foolish half-breed!" he sneered, swiftly flicking a hand that settled all the dirt into the ground. He didn't notice the glowing arrow headed straight for him. "You think a wind-based attack can affect me? I am the—" but he was cut off as Kagome's arrow pierced through his back and out of his chest, jerking his entire body forward as he cried in pain. Spinning around, the demon instantly charged upon the sight of Kagome, who had fallen back down to the ground, panting heavily.

In that moment, Kilala charged the demon, knocking him aside in his uncontrolled rage. Howling in outrage, the demon released a large breath and was lifted into the air, clutching the hole in his chest that refused to heal.

"Damn priestess…" the demon gasped, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Then, he turned in the air and attempted to fly away, but was stopped when a large weapon flew in front of him. Any closer and his head would have been gone.

"Not so fast…" said Sango as she stood on wobbly legs, absolutely furious that her body was betraying her like this. The force of catching Hiraikotsu nearly knocked her over again, but she remained on her feet and threw her boomerang, again narrowly missing the demons head.

With a sneer, the demon sent another gust of wind towards both Kagome and Sango, inhaling the air deeply when their bodies convulsed and fell to the ground.

Sudden rage surging through him, Inuyasha lifted his Tetsusaiga and slashed it across the wind, screaming for Miroku to take Kagome and Sango to cover.

When the coast was clear, Inuyasha cried "Adamant Barrage!" and quickly jumped back as a series of sharp, pointed crystals fell from the skies, smirking as the demon was forced to use his powers to block the attack. Raising Tetsusaiga above his head again, Inuyasha brought it back down in a flurry of dust and yelled, "Backlash Wave!" He closed his eyes against the debris that flew around. When everything settled, he looked up and searched intently, lifting his head to sniff out the enemy when he spotted several pieces of flesh trying to slide toward each other.

"Get the shard, Kagome!" Inuyasha demanded, not wanting the demon to have time to regenerate his body. Nodding, Kagome stood on shaky legs and ran towards a large chunk of bone in the middle of the bloody pile and pulled out a small, pink shard. The demon disintegrated into dust, taking the terrible smell with it.

Everyone except Inuyasha heaved huge sighs of relief. The half-demon instead hauled his blade over his shoulder and smirked at them all.

"That wasn't so hard."

Ignoring him, Kagome and Sango leaned against the bark of a tree, panting heavily. Kagome held her stomach tightly.

"I feel…violated…" she said softly, her hand twitching.

Sango nodded in agreement and took a deep, rattling breath. "I think a bath might be a good idea."

Overhearing them, Inuyahsa sniffed out a hot spring and pointed the direction to it, but immediately set the rules when he saw the girls jump up and gather their supplies.

"You're not going alone—"

Before the rest of his sentence was out, Kagome chucked a large stone at his head and hissed, "—And you're not going to come with us!"

"Like Hell I'm not, wench!" Inuyasha snarled, ignoring his demon as he cried in outrage. "I need to be around to protect you!"

"We can protect ourselves!" Kagome argued.

"Like you did against this wind demon?" Miroku stated wisely, lifting an eyebrow. Kagome and Sango blushed and squirmed under his gaze.

"We just weren't prepared—" Sango started, but was cut off by Inuyasha.

"So you think that you'll be more prepared if you're naked in a hot spring?" he said, his eyes narrowed and dismissing the mental images of a naked, wet Kagome.

"Shippo and Kilala will be there, too, right?" Kagome said, gesturing to the smallest two of the bunch, both of whom nodded enthusiastically.

"Shippo can't protect you! He's too small!" Inuyasha said angrily. He quickly cleaned Tetsusaiga and stored the weapon in its sheath and stomped towards his woman. "You're not going into the forest unprotected!"

Sighing in exasperation, Kagome waved a hand at him dismissively and returned to gathering some bathing supplies, ignoring him. Sango quickly followed suit and Inuyahsa and Miroku gaped at them.

"Wench—" Inuyasha started, reaching a hand out to her, but Kagome quickly side-stepped him and stormed off to the springs, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala trailing loyally behind her. Baring his teeth in frustration, Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the neck of his robes and followed them.

When they reached the spring, the girls had already set down their supplies and waited impatiently for the men to hurry their butts up. When they arrived, Kagome and Sango gave them each a menacing warning glare and didn't strip until they were both turned around, facing the way they came.

"Stupid wench…" Inuyasha muttered. He plopped down on the soft earth and crossed his arms and feet.

Miroku followed him and sat down, trying to refrain from turning and peeking at the girls as they stripped and splashed around in the water.

"I think they might take a while," Miroku said, his eyebrows furrowing. Inuyasha grunted in acknowledgement, but didn't answer. Deciding to continue, Miroku said, "They both said they felt…violated…"

The word struck a cord in Inuyasha. Stiffening, he shifted his hold on Tetsusaiga and growled. "It means we failed as protectors," he replied softly, locking his eyes on a tiny ant that was crawling past him slowly. Miroku didn't answer. For a long while they sat there motionless, listening to the girls soaking quietly in the water.

"We've never faced anything like that before, have we?" Kagome murmured, scrubbing at her body ferociously.

Sango sighed angrily, blushing. "Whenever the wind touched me…It was like the energy was being sucked right out of me," she said, grabbing the soap and lathering her wash cloth. Kagome sighed and leaned back on the rocks, closing her eyes.

"It must have been an energy gathering technique…" she said soflty.

"Are you two okay?" Miroku asked. He was in the middle of turning around when Sango growled at him.

"Don't you dare turn around, pervert! I'm too tired to clobber you right now…"

Hearing the exhaustion in her voice, Miroku complied and waited patiently until they were finished. But it took a very long time; the sun was already beginning to fall when he felt his head begin to bob to the side; he was exhausted. The demon had attacked them very early in the morning, after all. Just as he was about to fall into a deep slumber, he was shaken roughly awake and glared groggily up at Inuyasha, who was standing and walking towards the spring.

Turning, Miroku shook himself out of his sleep and followed, realizing that the girls and Shippo had fallen asleep in the hot spring.

Inuyasha gently pulled Kagome out of the spring, not wanting to wake her, and removed his haori, blushing madly and looking at everything but at her naked body. He draped the red cloth over her and lifted her into his arms, plucking up a sleeping Shippo by his tail as he did so.

He proceeded to gather all of their supplies and waited for Miroku to pick up Sango so they could leave.

"They can protect themselves, huh?" Inuayasha said sarcastically. Miroku chuckled and the group slowly walked back to camp, unaware of a dark presence lurking just behind them.

When they were out of sight, Naraku held up a hand to Kanna, and she removed the powerful barrier around them. Then, his eyes narrowing, he waited for the hanyou to pick up his scent, the smirk on his lips widening.

Soon, that damned priestess would lose her ability to track shards. He'd make sure of that.

YAY! Chapter one of the revised version of Her Purity is finally complete! Haha that took a really long time to do. Anyway, I think I got off on a good start in the beginning, but I started getting lazy again (surprise, surprise,), and I don't think I did as well on the ending as I could have. And I don't really think that this is much of a prologue… Oh well, overall, I think the chapter is pretty okay, but what do you think?

Review Please!
