Inuyasha was the first one to go through the well i followed soon after we had wondered where the girl had gone the demons were dead that much was for sure there where pieces around the well the rest where gone, when I came out of the well we both walked up the stairs and found max asleep under the god tree. "kago-chan your mom was gone so I decided to sit outside for a bit" she hadn't opened her eyes though she was frowning. "And why didn't you come back" inuyasha snapped before I had a chance to say anything "so I didn't have to hear a . . . never mind you're too stupid to understand" she stood up and shook her head before turning to me "hey kagome what's the news station here." I thought for a moment before speaking "mom usually watches the news about now it'll switch automatically" she entered the house but not before yelling out her thanks.

Inuyasha stared at the younger human as she sat and watched the news; kagome had left to go get her bag and a few supplies. "it's rude to stare" the pipsqueak said in an annoyed tone, inuyasha just turned his head before he spoke "well if you would just tell me what your planning I wouldn't" she turned around looking at him quizicaly "don't deign it you stink of demon" she bit her lip looking angry, the girl practically tried to deafen him with her next sentence "how the- what are you talking about" he irritably faced her "you don't know?" she turned around "know what?" then she stopped turned back to the TV " the students are going to be happy about this one folks there are a few schools being closed down for two weeks for repairs. They are as follows furankin high, shiroken high, and fukimori private school." Max relaxed a little "guess no school for me or kago-chan" she said as she turned the TV off and walked up the stairs two at a time. Max sat in kagome's room 'I smell like a demon?' she thought, as she pondered this she laid down on the bed she had awoken on earlier 'I wonder what happened on the other side of that well that had them both so jumpy then drifted into a deep sleep.

"Hey bro will you tell me what you where talking about?" "hn" "come on tell me"

This had been going on for the better part of an hour max would ask the questions and inuyasha would ignore her and continue brooding. Then max would pout and ask again.

'This is what happens when you put too people who dislike each other close together when one looks like a child and the other acts like one' kagome thought. Max walked up to the shelf picked up another pot and swishing its contents before putting it back on the shelf , "sango is there a demon curse that can give humans demon powers" that question had surprised the shard hunters most of her Questions had mostly been about humans and demons getting along, then certain demon breeds, and how long a demons blood would last or would give powers too its young and if the young continually mated with humans in a future generations. "not that I know of but there have been case that demons have taken human bodies and used there sprites or vice versa" sango looked closer at her "like the weird mutated looking crow that's flying around out side and attacking villagers?" max said in a whispered to herself it had taken less than a second before they heard the screams.

We ran outside and sure enough there was a crow, a demon crow it looked worse than the one that had swallowed the jewel. As the crow swooped down and was attacking different people trying to grasp them in its talons and fly away with them before just raising them of the ground at least by about three inches before letting go. The children where already in the houses, when the others appeared before disappearing from sight inuyasha followed the scent of the creature before coming back to keade's house max had been quiet for awhile watching the whole thing. "um don't crows ussualy come in flocks ar atleast have partners? I mean the mortal ones do, but do the demon ones, do that also?" that sunk in pretty quickly but not quick enough , because out of nowhere another crow had grabbed her and was gone. "Max is . . . we have to help her!" kagome had yelled she was rushing for her bow "Kagome don't, me and miroku will look for the crow you need to help kaeade with the villagers" he had started running again before disappearing into the forest. They hadn't run very far when they heard a pained screech that couldn't be human, as they rushed toward the sound the crow and max where getting farther away. "hey you might just want to just put me down" she said her arms crossed the jacket shirt had been ripped and she could feel the talons periceing her skin "put me down" this time she seemed older and annoyed "forget it" she had produced a knife that had been hidden in her shirt, seconds the crow screeched in pain while she was falling through the air before she felt something hard under her grasp and her reflexes took over before she even thought about it she was on a bigger branch "that was too close for comfort." She said As she looked down at the ground "I wonder how I'm going to get down."
