Disclaimer: Don't Own InuYasha

It was easy. Two slayers in the front, two to each side, three in the back, and a sneaky hanyou way behind. She knew these humans had special ways of detecting demons, either by aura, or instinct. One of those. But she was determinded to understand the whole 'well' deal, and she was not going to be caught.

Sango was frightened, but she would not let it show. Sango was fixed on doing her best on her first job. Everyone was quiet, listening to the sounds of the forest of InuYasha.

InuYasha sniffed. The stench of death invaded her nostrils. Could it be a demon carcass, lying around? No. It stunk of a decomposing human. But where? It was faint, but as she took a second whiff, she noticed it was one of the humans in front of her.'Wha....?'

Just then, one of the slayers to the left of Hojo pulled out a katana and grabbed Sangoharshly as his hostage. "What's wrong Daichi? Let her go!" Sango's mother yelled. She didn't want to make the wrong move and end up daughterless. "Put your weapons down..." she told the rest of the demon slayers whom already had their katanas in hand and were more than ready to strike the traitor.

"Hand me the jewel and I'll let her go!" he yelled. 'He's possessed... he's the dead guy!' InuYasha thought. "Let me go!" Sango yelled.

"Idiots! He's dead... he must be possessed by a demon!" InuYasha shouted as she made her presence be known. "What?" Sango's mother yelled. However, Sango wasn't as defenseless as she looked. With a quick twist of the wrist, her hand revealed a hidden blade, and she stabbed the dead human right were the demon resided. The shocked demon lost control of the human's body and released Sango from his tight grip. She fell and immediately crawled to her mother's side.

One of the demon slayers raised his blade and was ready to strike, but at once, the crow demon came out from the hole which he had carved in the deseased human and flew towards Hojo. "What the...?" Hojo started running from the crow demon. The demon slayers too ran behind it, throwing their weapons in the air, but none succeeded in slaying it. Finally, as if nothing else could go wrong, Hojo tripped, and the jewel fell from his tight grasp. "No..." shouted the demon slayers. "Oh... no you're not!" InuYasha yelled as the crow demon decended to its prize. The demon crowed in victory. It had the jewel right before it. Just like that, it swallowed the Shikon no Tama.
