"Ugh..." Kurenai's palm landed on the throbbing of her head as her rich, blood red orbs fluttered open to the blurry sight of blue skies brushed with white clouds.

After blinking a few times to clear the haze off her eyes, she instinctively pushed herself off the carpet of grass to assess her surroundings.

Lying unconscious a few meters away is Sango with Miroku's arm protectively wrapped around her and a little further from them and also knocked out is Shippo. Finally, her eyes found the familiar red and silver blur which is Inuyasha, clutching his head in pain. His amber eyes flickered with concern as they converged on her.

"Kurenai! Are you alright?!"

"Yes, just a little sore. You?"

"Keh. Got a few nicks here and there." he shrugged before his eyes turned into slits as he tore them away from her.

"Sesshoumaru? You're still here?!" the hanyou barked and her head whipped around to where he's been glaring.

The daiyoukai made no response to his half-brother and kept his full focus is on the unconscious little girl in his arms.

"Is Rin alright?" Kurenai can't help but ask, worried.

Without moving his head, Sesshoumaru's icy amber eyes peeked at the human woman that spoke, he doesn't have any desire to involve himself with a lowly human and yet, something about the genuine concern in those scarlet eyes coaxed him to respond.

"It seems there is no threat to her life although she has some scratches." he looked down at Rin and moved his hand to carefully tapped the girl's cheek, "Rin, wake up. Come on Rin, wake up." he urged and eventually the girl's eyes opened.

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" she whispered. A brief and faint smile is the only evidence of the daiyoukai's relief but he was surprised to hear the miko sigh in relief before looking back at her own companions.

They had an encounter with an extremely sinister witch, and when they were finally getting the upper hand, the witch started chanting and they were blasted off by a blue light and everything went black.

Recalling everything that happened made Kurenai aware of her injuries as the pain registered to her brain, she has a shallow gash on both her left arm and leg, and when she moved to stand, she found out she sprained her right ankle. 'Great' she rolled her eyes.

She ignored the pain and literally dragged herself towards the young kitsune.

"Hey Kurenai, what happened?" the hanyou eyed what she's doing.

"I hurt my ankle." she replied while still dragging herself.

"Then stop moving, wench! I'll check on them instead." he barked.

"I'm fine, I'm almost there anyway. Just check on Sango and Miroku, I'll handle Shippo." Inuyasha released a huff due to the woman's stubbornness.

Sesshoumaru watched with seemingly bored eyes as the raven haired struggled to get to her companion despite her condition. It is beyond him how she puts herself aside for others when she's clearly in pain.

After much effort, Kurenai settled beside Shippo and pulled him onto her lap. His breathing seem to be stable and he doesn't seem to have any serious injures except for some scratches. While assessing the young kit, a movement caught her attention from the corner of her eye, she looked up and sighed at what she saw.

"Geez Miroku! Stop pretending you're still knocked out you pervert!" Miroku's hand making its way to Sango's butt flinched and the monk peeked at her with a nervous grin.

"Oh Lady Kurenai, I'm glad you're alright." he said, feigning innocence.

"Check on Sango you idiot!" Inuyasha scolded him.

"I was! And you interrupted me." the monk debated which got two pairs of eyes rolling at him.

Kurenai's stare fell back to Shippo and started to gently nudge him awake, smiling as she felt the kitsune shift and open his eyes.

"Mama?" he asked, eyes still glazed.

"Yes, I'm here. Thank God you're alright." she sighed.

'SLAP'

Kurenai shook her head at the sound, she figured the demon-slayer's finally came to and reprimanded the monk for his mischief.

"PERVERT!" Sango's voice echoed. Kurenai felt relieved seeing her companions awake and lively, granted all of them except the young ones suffered some major injuries but none are fatal.

"I'm glad you're okay Sango." she smiled at Sango which was returned by the slayer.

"Me too."

"Where the hell are we?!" Inuyasha roared and they finally paid attention to their surroundings. It wasn't long however for Kurenai to realize where they are and her eyes grew ridiculously wide.

"No way." she uttered in disbelief, 'They're in Los Angeles!'

"What is it wench?" the hanyou asked as his amber eyes scanned the unfamiliar environment. They're perched on a grassy slope columned by tall, lush trees and he can also spot a lake nearby peppered with birds cruising all over it. But what got their attention the most are the concrete architecture seemingly rising and falling at the horizon ahead.

"This is my era." Kurenai breathed.

They looked at Kurenai in stunned silence, they're five hundred years into the future?!
