"Well you're sure as hell not getting it!" Inuyasha yelled impatiently.
"Oh yeah," remarked Phoebe. "He's definitely a half-demon."
"Look, we just need to know what it is so that we can help you guys!" said Paige. "We're not going to steal it!"
"Yeah!" added Piper. "We're the good guys!"
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. "We need to find out whose trying to steal it."
"Kagome," growled Inuyasha. "If you're even thinking about giving them the jewel-"
But he never got to finish his sentence, as Kagome cut him off by saying: "Don't make me say it Inuyasha!"
"Say what?" Phoebe asked curiously, as she looked from the horrified boy to the mischievously grinning girl.
"Say sit," Kagome answered breezily.
-CRASH- accompanied by many obscenities shouted by Inuyasha.
Phoebe was really laughing by now. "How did you do that?" she giggled.
"His necklace," Kagome replied. "When we first met, he thought I was someone else, and, well, he kind of tried to kill me. An old priestess gave me those prayer beads to protect myself."
"Sorry to interrupt," cut in Piper, "but what about this jewel you were talking about?'
Kagome solemnly unclasped her necklace, and held it out for the others to see. Hanging on the thin black chain was a little less than half of the sacred jewel. It's edge was as rough and broken as usual, and it was still glowing a mystifying pink. "It's called the Shikon no Tama. The Jewel of Four Souls."
"Four souls?"
"Every living thing has four souls. When they work together in harmony, the person is pure, and does good deeds. The priestess Midoriko could purify even a demons four souls, which would render them harmless. But during battle, one almost killed her, and it was all she could do to imprison the demons soul inside of her own. Creating this sacred jewel."
"But what does it do?" asked Leo.
"It can turn a half-demon into a fully fledged demon!" proclaimed Inuyasha from a corner of the room, where he had been sulking since being sat.
"Yes," agreed Kagome sadly. "It can boost anyone's power, and when whole, is said to grant one wish."
"Wow."
"And so far, we've only been up against demons with a few shards of it. If someone was to get the whole thing..." she shuddered at the thought.
"Why isn't in one piece to start with?" asked Paige.
Kagome grinned sheepishly.
"Because she broke it!!!" Inuyasha yelled, pointing at Kagome. "Into millions of pieces! All over Japan!"
"Hey!" she yelled back. "If I hadn't shot that arrow the boy would be dead! And we might not even have any of it right now!"
"Feh! Whatever."
"So...You guys have been collecting these shards ever since?"
"Yep. I've got some sort of purifying power, and can sense the shards, so Inuyasha knows where to go to fight for them. And cut them out, so the demon doesn't regenerate."
"Yuck!" said Paige.
"Wait!" Piper exclaimed. "You can sense the shards?"
Kagome nodded yes.
"Then-" but Leo finished for her.
"Then the one who summoned you here must be able to as well. He'll know you're here."
Speak of the devil. Just then there was a crash upstairs, as the window was smashed in. 'Not again!' thought Piper. The three witches rushed to get up the stairs, but Inuyasha beat them to it. He jumped up the whole flight of steps in two bounds, and landed at the top with the Tetsusaiga unsheathed, transformed, and at the ready.
Paige couldn't help but say, "Cool!"
Facing them at the top was a man. A man dressed completely in black from head to foot. He had normal blonde hair in a tangled mess upon his head, but his eyes were entirely black.
"Ahh, so I've found you at last... Inuyasha. Do you know how long it took to scour all of San Francisco for your presence?" His voice was calm and unafraid.
Inuyasha growled at him. "How do you know me?"
"Why, you're the protector of the protector of the jewel, of course. Who else would you be?"
"The one who's going to kill you!" Inuyasha said as he jumped at the black eyed man before him. But unfortunately for Inuyasha, his sword hit some invisible barrier with a clunking noise, and he was thrown backwards into a wall.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called.
The man simply walked past the fallen Inuyasha to find the jewel, but froze mid-step in fear. "The Charmed Ones!"
