Striking Falcon: Here I am again, with another author's notes. Today I have better help, seeing how badly the notes for Vengeance came out. Kagome, do you mind?

Kagome: (grinning) Of course not! Ok, here we go!

#1. The Infimate Rings: Yes, Striking Falcon knows that its infinite instead of infimate, but she likes the sound of it, for some unknown reason.

Striking Falcon: Hey! You're not helping!

Kagome: Sorry. Anyway, the Infimate Rings are used by mikos to protect villages from lesser demons and monsters. The chains drain away the power of any demon trapped inside them if they try to escape. As I said, they're made for lesser demons, which is why it's so strange that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are in them. I like the idea of them being kidnapped instead of me. It makes me feel rather good.

Striking Falcon: (groaning) Lord, why me? Anyway, continue. We don't have a whole lot of time. I can hear Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru trying to escape.

Kagome: (blanching) Ok, ok. Next is the Prophesy. Can we see it in full again, please?

(A stagehand comes up, wheeling in a wide screen tv. She clicks it on. It fuzzes for a moment, then words appear on the screen.)

The West will be blanketed by the sun's arrival

As the tree at war with itself begins to heal.

And the land will be divided.

But in the land's division comes a greater unity.

Their saving grace

Found in the faces of two flowers

One uncertain in an mysterious energy

The other fortified by the rivers of sorrow.

What that means, I don't have a clue.

Striking Falcon: (grinning) Well, I do. If you want to find out, you'll just have to read for yourself.

(Kagome sighs and reads over Chapter Six. She pales suddenly, glaring at Striking Falcon.)

Kagome: (shocked) I can't believe you made me kiss Kouga!

Inuyasha: (from somewhere off stage) SHE WHAT?!!!!!

Striking Falcon: (gulps) Well, that's the end of today's author's notes! See you later!

Inuyasha: (crashes through set) Oh no you don't! Get back here you little piece of bird shit!

Striking Falcon: Eeep!

(Striking Falcon changes into a large black bird [guess what kind] and flies out of Inuyasha's reach. She looks back and laughs)

Striking Falcon: Ha ha, you dumb dog! Oh yeah, I need to preview Chapter Seven. Where is that tv?

(Suddenly Striking Falcon slams into the tv screen. She groans and slides down the screen with a squeak. Inuyasha grins wickedly.)

Inuyasha: I've got you now!

(Inuyasha reaches for her. Striking Falcon recovers in time and flies out of his reach again. As she zips down the hallway, with Inuyasha in hot pursuit, the tv screen flickers again.)

Chapter Seven: Power Unleashed

"Kagome, didn't I say what a bad idea it was to jump the wall?"

Kagome stared back at her, her smile widening to a cheerful grin. She raised her hand, her index finger pointed toward the stone in front of her.

"Who said anything about jumping the wall, Sango? We're going through it."
