Utsuho was flying over the Youkai mountain. They usually said there was all kinds of youkai here, but today, Okuu carried a grocery bag of things meant for her master, Satori.

There was more than just one bird flying the skies, in fact, there would be two & plenty more. Well, Aya didn't know that, for she was minding her own business around Yokai Mountain. Today... Wasn't about articles, exactly, but her eyes were typically peeled for such. Surely, she did score earlier by being nearby some reckless behavior & catching an interview with an eye-witness from a messy incident in the Human Village. She wasn't flying at high speed however, for such things were necessary, especially when one could just enjoy that around them after a slightly-busy day.
The camera around her neck hung from her neck, at least one of her hands stuffed with the typical components that a journalist would carry. Her red eyes searched that around her from great heights near by Yokai Mountain, & for a moment, she was sure that she was the only crow tengu in the sky. Of course, she had to add for a moment, because soon enough from the corner of her eyes, one started to fly pass by. She seemed to hold some familiarity, & right off the bat a name, or at least some reminder, came to mind. She seemed to be passing by, just like Aya herself. Yes, simply, just flying by & around freely, for the wind was fine & comfortable, & the scenery was rather nice at the very moment... However, she was a journalist, not a photographer, but that didn't keep her from getting a little bit unfocused by some interesting, various sights from below - they were worth a shot, really.
Taking her camera into her open hand & looking down below, she took a few shots - whether they turned out nice would be decided when she finds a roof over her head. Ah, but those other there, & here - she snapped a few more. Of course, she pulled away to look around again, lacking attention of her direction of flight...

Utsuho, unlike her winged compatriot, was in a bit of a hurry, the faster she finished her errands the faster she got to rest...Had she paid more attention she wouldn't have crashed into the tengu.
Utsuho tumbled down, tangled to Aya due to her own wings and cape. The two must have crashed through the tree canopy...because next thing she knew, she was tangled with the Tengu but in the ground. "gggrr...........:

Once snapping a few pictures & - bam! Her hands became detached from her camera & objects, her head feeling rather twisted as she could feel herself falling after such a strong impact - she was far from being prepared for a crash landing too. Not to mention, it was rather far - or so it felt. What really just hit her? Not that it was too fast for her to compute, but soon enough she felt herself wrapped up against what she assumed to be... Ground, right?
She patted her hands here & there around, her wings in pain along with self. What she first grabbed was her hat, ahead of it as she placed it on her head, dusting herself off, but feeling slightly stuck... Her wings simply couldn't get around it...
Aya looked back & by her side was the girl flying from earlier - oh & what a mess! She looked like one herself with the landing, a number of black feathers drifting & scattering around their awful land. Maybe she lost a few of her own feathers herself - maybe that girl was the one inflicting the pain to the side of her wing at the moment It couldn't move, & studying the angle, she was sure that her wing was caught under the girl. Ah, & she didn't make a lovely noise - for who would? Dusting her hands on the girl's cape nearby & on her skirt, she kept most of her mumbles & grunts to herself as she started to speak.
"Ayyyee..." A slight groan was released as the pressure on the wing's side grew, "Whoa... Hey, are you okay?" She pulled a slight smile through it all, but something came to her mind - something felt missing around her neck! When she glimpsed down, it was just a strap with no camera & empty hands. Exactly, this wasn't in her plans, for she took some looks around & couldn't find even a pen or what would look like a piece to a camera. Ah, but quickly she turned away, back to Utsuho. "If you can, can you... Lift yourself up?" Aya questioned, slightly wincing as her wing continuously pulled in hopes that a hint would be crossed before she would have to say something - if she were to say it now, it wouldn't come out in her typical manner, & she knew that wouldn't be a polite response.

Who was this squawking under her? The black feathers were still raining, how many had she lost? Felt like her wings where just strained, and her knees scrapped at worse, but she was definetly sore from the impact. The squawking continue, but it seemed this form had a voice.
If you can,..can you lift yourself up?
Oh hoho, was her power being questioned?! With the sligthes grunt, Utsuho wiped up the cannon, stabbing the heavy piece of metal into the ground in the meager space between her and Aya, no doubt, meant to startle the crow.
With that simple movement, the hell raven used it as a crutch to get up. The larger bird spread out her wings, stretching them, as she straightened out,"Need help?"
She held out her hand to help the reporter up,the crash had been her fault...partially anyway.

At first, something unexpected came upon - a loud smash nearby her which made her head quickly turn. Ah, however, around a similar time, there was a great amount of relief from one of her wings. Her wing scattered many feathers, a thunderstorm during the rain was much more like it. She looked up at the other grow, & well, she wasn't the only one loosing parts of her wings. Ah, but hand, for her? It wasn't really necessary, or at least to her, & she simply dusted herself off here & there.
"I got it... But thank you," Aya spoke as she pulled herself up, checking all that not only on her, but around her. Well, she kept the empty strap around her neck & cleared the miscellaneous particles left on her. She looked back at the crow with a slight smile, capturing her stand after almost stumbling over - that wasn't really expected either. "Sorry about that," She spoke, walking around a bit to reposition herself. Looking around a bit, holding her own wonders about her own possessions, she turned back to face Utsuho, a foot on floor while other unknowingly on cape. "So you seem to be fine after all that," Aya smiled.

Utsuho took back her hand, and turned away from the crow, her wings fumbling into their rightfully tucked postion,"Of course i am fine, this was just a scrape."
The prideful nuclear raven had turned around to face the reporter once more; woe, her cape was captive under Aya's foot! The raven turned around wuickly enough, her cannon got stuck inthe cape as did her wings and feet.
With another crash, Utsuho fell foward, once more pinning Aya down. Oh, might Ten Kings above, it seemed like Utsuho was on top of the poor crow when she refocused herself-
Spreading her wings in a vain attempt at Balance, the black feather rained once more, lucky for Aya, all Utsuho had on her was her hand. The canon had been skillfully landed next to both of them. Okuu was still confused but she looked right into Aya's face; they were nose to nose.
"Ugh. Great. We are tangled stuck-"

At first, Aya assumed the girl would simply leave without a good-bye, or even asking about anything more of the crash. She didn't seem like it, but she couldn't assume what the girl would do - like falling, right on her! Her wings & back felt the impact of falling to the ground, which left a grunt or groan of some sort. Really, the cannon-raven was heavy, & compared to Aya, would smash her in seconds, but that was proven to be an exaggeration. Her eyes once squinted & closed, she opened them back up to find herself face-to-face - literally more than that - to the other girl.
Tangled? She gave a slight frown, for that was no good, but it would be easy to get out of, right? Already she was sick of the soft onyx leaves falling around them, for they might as well have bones hanging on the ends of their backs if it was to continue. Even having getting themselves untangled, Aya would have to search for her camera - no, probably the pieces of her camera - & her other supplies. The notebook is probably folded all up on one side for many pages, while the pen probably wouldn't be worth searching for, & maybe by the time she finds pieces of the lens or some film from the camera she could retreat from having to get another. Ah, but searching was for later, & now was to find a way out of the tangled situation.
She moved herself a bit, here & there to try to figure things out, but she wasn't feeling any progress.
"Again," Aya added to the girl's last sentence. She didn't say much after - she was paying much more attention of getting out, which wouldn't be possible if Utsuho didn't roll over to one side or find a way out first. After all, she did run into her & brought them here in the first place. Maybe she was clumsy? She left a sigh, breathing in - oh, it was rather odd, for the fact that she was directly infront of someone. "Alright, but it's okay," She said, then slightly smiled, "I guess I should've been paying more attention. But, I think you're the mainly the tangled one." She was purely being honest on the later, & refrained from mentioning that the two would start looking like fighting birds that go back & forth or some sorts... Really, it's a silly site - the situation felt kind of the same.

"Eh, I completly forgot about my cape's condition. How anoying."
Utsuho looked a bit, trying to see just how tangle they were. "Ya better not move otherwise, I will be crushing you like a little ant got it?"
Usually, getting up would be easy enough, but when you got a cannon on your arm and two wings on your back it can be tricky. Putting her knee carefully between Aya's own knees,and then a hand on the floor (next to Aya's head) the hell raven shifted the cannon to put at about a 45 degree angle with the floor. That done all it took was a small push to roll the raven over.
Once off the poor reporter, Okuu sat up, once more trying to tuck her wings back into position."You okay?"

After the raven moved herself away from her, Aya sat up, her wings flapping once or twice. She turned a bit behind her to pick up the camera strap & placed a firm grip on it with a slight frown. She stood back up easily though, dusting herself off again as she looked at the other bird - or rather, the cause of all this tripping & falling. Rather, that cape - what was it for? Flashy design or something? Trying to be a super-hero possibly? She glared at it for a moment, but answered the girl's question,
"I'm fine, but my camera isn't..." She looked down at the strap, "Or I think it isn't." She looked back at her, noting the canon on her arm which reminded her that she was to put up with her - at least, when she was without her camera. She could've gotten some lovely shots of her bullets, but that wasn't going to happen without a good nameless friend. "Thanks to the crash, all my things are pretty much scattered... How about yourself, are you okay? That was a pretty rough land."

'sorry 'bout the camera, I will help you look for it-" Utsuho offered, as she flapped her own wings once or twice to check and make sure they were fine, before folding them back under the cape.
"Mhm, I am fine, don't worry about me, its nothing more than a scrape." The hell raven said, with a sligth ffrown as she out her hand on her hip,' Just what are you missing? I will help you look for it, after all the trouble, might as well give you a hand."

The raven looked at the girl with a smile - help was always appreciated. She couldn't deny at moments like now, where even the simplest sight or riddle would've been helpful. Aya looked around their area once more before she responded,
"Well, it's more than just my camera missing," She lifted her camera strap & waved it around slightly, but pulled her hand back to her side as she continued with her sentence, "I'm missing my notepad. It has some important notes fro my newspaper. I don't think the pen will be an important thing to find, because writing utensils are rather easy to get." Her wings stretched to check their condition, causing her to wince a tad, but only assumed they would be tiny cuts, the type of damage that can be ignored despite being there. "I'll thank you if you helped me search for them, even though my camera is probably in pieces," She kept her friendly smile, levitating a few inches off the ground. Aya was already prepared to leave & search, for the crash didn't seem that bad after all... Well, for herself, of course, but not for the things that she depends on to get her job done.

"Alright then lets find those pieces at least," Utsuho said floating off the ground to search for the most likely totalled camera,"Let's see!"
She looked about the area they had landed,"How did that thing look like anyway?"

Aya followed the girl, her head slightly shaking as she kept searching. For a moment, she thought it wouldn't be worth searching for, but the chance that her notepad would be nearby had some possibility that kept her motivated to search.
"Well, it's black on the lower-half but grey on the upper-half with a pretty big lens in the middle. It's trigger is also on the right side of it, & it shouldn't be hard to find."

Utsuho nodding getting an idea,"Maybe it got stuck in the branches?"
The hell raven flied up to take a peek around the branches of the canopy they had broken,"Uhmuhn...Hey ...Is than it?" She pointed through the branches, it seemed to be stuck there. "i can't reach but i think that's it !"
