The large group of people sat it Kenara's room at the new Takahashi house, sprawled out all over the room.
"So, why are we here?" Kagome asked, lying upside-down on a leather chair in the corner, Inuyasha sitting cross-legged beside her, Kenara beside him.
"Because these five-" Kenara shot a dirty look at the new kids, who winced. "-Have been hiding stuff from us."
"Like…?" Sango asked from her spot beside Miroku, sprawled out on The black silk king sized bed.
"Show them." Kenara commanded.
"But-" Seion started, but not before Kenara shot them a cold glare, and the teens quickly complied. They seemed to shimmer, angel wings growing out of their backs, graxing the ground, their eyes turned to an iron color, except for Seion, whose eyes became amber like Inuyashas. Their hair was all black, with silver streaks. Other than that, their nails became clawlike and fangs sprouted.
"What ARE they?" Miroku asked.
"Hawk hybrids."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Kagome asked, her face turning beet red from the blood flow.
Kage sighed. "We are looking for a jewel, the shikon no tama to be exact. A hanyou named Naraku is also searching for this stone. We had to become human for a short time so he couldn't find us."
"What do you know about the jewel?" Sango asked, hanging her head off the bed.
"The Shikon Jewel, the jewel of four souls, can grant a wish to the possesser of the jewel, and makes them stronger by just holding it. Demons would swallow it to gain strength. The jewel has been shattered of late, and Naraku is looking for the shards. It is our job to find the shards and return the jewel to the original owner, Kagome Higurashi" Tsuki explained in a monotone voice.
"Why me?" Kagome asked, lifting her head from the floor.
"Because you are one of the last surviving miko on this planet. For hundreds of years, mikos have protected the jewel from harm. You, being the last of your race, are required to wish on the jewel, and therefore, destroy it utterly." Hoshi asid clearly.
"Utterly? No trace?" Inuyasha asked doubtfully.
"Well, in thirteen years, a new jewel will be made, as well as a new group of keepers, thus starting the circle again." Sora grudgingly admitted.
"Whatever. The bad thing is that the shards are in the feudal era, as well as Naraku's henchmen." Seion said.
"Whats bad about that? And how did they get there?" Sango asked.
"We were also told that we had to take care of Kagome and Inuyasha." Seion sighed. "And we can't do that if we are in another time."
"Let them come with us." Kenara said in a quiet voice. "There is no other possible solution."
"But, what if-"
"No buts Kage, they are coming and that's final. Let's all meet at Kagome's house in half an hour. Dress for the feudal era, bring some weapons." Kenara said as the others started to stand up.
"Gotcha. See you guys in a bit." Inuyaha said as the teenagers walked out the door.

The group of eleven met in Kagome's backyard in front of the shrine. Inuyasha had changed into a red haori that he said was made from the fur of a fire rat, with Tetsuseiga at his side. Kenara had her sword at her side, and wore black kakama (skirt pants) and a red hanten (jacket) with an exquisite manto (cloak) with a silver dog embroidered on a black silk background. Kagome had no special clothes to change into, so she wore her earlier school uniform, a green mini skirt with a white sailor top. Sango had red plate armor on, with a huge boomerang strapped to her back and a two-tailed cat sitting calmly on her shoulder, named Kilala. Miroku was in blue monks robes with cloth wrapped around his hand, held in place with Buddhist beads. At his side was a long slender golden staff with hoops on it. His grandfather had told him that once he traveled to the feudal era, he would aquire a wind tunnel in his right hand that would only disappear when Naraku was killed.
Seion, Sora and Tsuki wore matching royal blue kimonos with silver hawks embroidered into the hem. Seion had her many ribbons, Sora carried a silver staff much like Miroku's, and Tsuki held a pair of sighs (long, three pronged daggers). Hoshi carried nothing, and wore a plain black gi (short men kimono), And Kage had a long, feathered spear attached to his back and wore a suit of black plate armor with a hawk etched into the chest.
"What do we do now?" Kagome asked as the last person arrived, who was obviously Kyoujin, wearing the same attire as Miroku, but in dark red with a bronze staff.
"Where is your well?" Tsuki asked
"In the back, but why would we need a well?" Kagome asked as she led the large group to the well in her backyard.
"This well, known as the Bone Eaters Well, is the contact our time has with the feudal era. With the right artifacts, you could even go into the future with this well. Eack artifact has a different result. Since Kagome is the keeper of the jewel, we can all go through." Hoshi explained calmly.
"So, what do we do with the well?"
"Jump in." Kenara said.
"WHAT?" Kagome squealed.
"Jump already! We don't have all day!" Inuyasha yelled from the back of the group, not meanly.
"In THERE?" Kagome gestured to the bottom of the well. She walked up and stood next to it, leaning over to get a better view.
"By Izanami's great islands!" Seion exclaimed as she walked up and shoved Kagome in, who scramed. Inuyasha flattened his ears to his head, mirroring Kenara.
Kagome was surrounded by a great sapphire light and suddenly her world vanished…
