"We've gotta get him out of here." Inuyasha's brow furrowed as he held his brother's legs down while Kanketsu pinned his arms, each of them struggling to try to prevent the unconscious taiyoukai from lashing out because he was in pain. Nexus did his best to clean the deep, horrible wound that had appeared on Sesshomaru not long after he'd collapsed. It covered the majority of his chest and almost all of his stomach.
"Yes, but we can't move him right now," the broad-shouldered demon replied tensely. "I don't know how this… poison or whatever it is spread so quickly, but moving him around any more will only make it worse." He pressed down on the wound with a heavy towel from his pack and Sesshomaru immediately tensed and writhed slightly in pain beneath them, baring his teeth unconsciously as his claws made shallow gouges in the stone. Inuyasha swore softly and held him down.
Dammit, Sesshomaru…Why'd you have to go and get hit like that? Inuyasha shoved that thought rudely aside, staring into his brother's pale, sweaty face. Just hang in there.
Nexus growled, the sound far more intimidating than Inuyasha had expected. "I can't heal this."
"So what do we do?" Kanketsu asked.
The bigger demon sighed, his entire body seeming to deflate. "Nothing."
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed in outrage.
"There's nothing we can do," Nexus clarified. He looked down at Sesshomaru, who had stilled for now as he fought for breath. "He'll have to overcome this on his own."
