Fights and First Aid

Sesshomaru tossed Inuyasha off his back and stood over his half-sibling glaring down at him. "You fool!" Sesshomaru swiped at Inuyasha, but caught nothing but air.

"Yo! Quit it!" Inuyasha said as he fled his brother's attack. He tried to explain while dodging his brother's attacks. "You gotta calm yerself! You know as well as I do" Inuyasha ducked "that if you hurt Kagome's mom that" Sesshomoaru swiped "the two of us are outta here in like"Inuyasha went into a combonation ofduck-dodge-jump "a second!"

Sesshomaru growled and said "Fine. I will not kill you, but I will hurt you!" Sesshomaru balled up his fist, punched Inuyasha right in the kisser, and broke his nose. Blood started to pour out of his nose at an alarming rate. "Ha ha ha. Who's laughing now, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha's temper flared and he dove, growling, at Sesshomaru who left Inuyasha crashing into the couch. Inuyasha bounced off the springy seat and back up. He turned, ran up to a crouching Sesshomaru, and right into an extended set of claws. Squish!

Inuyasha's blood was soaked up by his kimono.

Then they heard Rin upstairs. "Sesshomaru-samaaaa! Sesshomaru-samaaa!" Sesshomaru stood, fingers and claws still imbedded in Inuyasha. Both brothers forgot their quarrel and both looked in the direction of Rin's cries.

Inuyasha's ears twitched in concern. Inuyasha said "You should go see what's up."

Sesshomaru nodded then heard Kagome leave her grandfather's room to come and find them. When she rounded the corner of the den she saw Sesshomaru and Inuyasha standing around conspicuously. Sesshomaru was looking at a drawing on the wall and Inuyasha just stood in front of the T.V. with a surprised look on his face.

Kagome walked up to Inuyasha, keeping her back to Sesshomaru and noticed Inuyasha's wounds. "Inuyasha! You're bleeding!"

"Hey Kagome. You got any of that first aid junk? I—uh...well…Sessho—" Mrs. Higurashi's face and words came back to him 'IF there is ANY blood spilled in MY HOUSE the two of you will be ejected so fast your little demon heads will spin!' Inuyasha looked at his brother and his brother's angry-warning face and said "Uh…I mean I fell."

"What?" Kagome questioned unbelieving.

"I...uh…fell. We were playing…yeah…and then I fell."

Sesshomaru looked at him in utter disbelief 'Playing?' he mouthed. 'Playing?'

"You guys were playing? And you happened to fall on Sesshomaru's claws? My mom is gonna have a fit if she finds any blood in here! You guys have to clean up and you Inuyasha have to heal fast!"

The brothers swallowed hard.

"Jeese, guys I'm not my mom" said Kagome. "Plus I want to travel back to the feudal era as much as you, Inuyasha! Naraku can't be allowed to run rampant! The first aid stuff is in the bathroom under the sink. It's in a white box with a red cross on it. Inuyasha, you should recognize it. I'm going to go check on Rin and give her some of this Tylenol if her fever hasn't dropped. Okay?"

"Okay" said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru merely looked at her as she left the room.

The brothers both filed into the bathroom to patch up Inuyasha. Sesshomaru found the box that Kagome was talking about and Inuyasha pulled down the cover on the toilet and sat down.

Lord Sesshomaru said "Your bleeding isn't stopping. Maybe they have more bandages here in the bathing room."

Sesshomaru searched the 'bathing room' with a keener eye. He opened a cabinet and found a few items of interest. One in particular caught his eye. Sesshomaru looked at the long slender object and unwrapped the filmy paper it was wrapped in. He looked at the piece of tightly wound cotton and its plastic encasement. The encasement had a stem. Sesshomaru pushed the stem like a syringe and saw how it pushed out the cotton piece out the top from the inside. He pushed the cotton back into the plastic with a nimble finger and used the stem to push it out again. In out in out in out.

"Hmf. I wonder what type of 'first aid' device this is" said the older sibling. He turned to Inuyasha so they could both take a look at it.

"I don't recall Kagome ever usin' nothin' like that when I was wounded on the other side." Inuyasha was just as interested in the tiny contraption as his sibling was.

"It appears to inject this rolled up bandage into something." Sesshomaru pointed at Inuyasha's wound and said "Continue to apply pressure."

Inuyasha looked at his brother's stern face, and for an instant, only an instant, swore he saw concern.

Sesshomaru then said "Lady Higurashi does not need hanyou blood all over her house." His smug face returned along with the rest of his superior attitude. "You're pathetic."

Inuyasha was about to reply when he got a jab of pain again. "Urgh!" he grunted as he gripped his wound. Inuyasha sat behind Sesshomaru, on the toilet, complaining more and more.

'He must be doing okay with all that complaining' thought Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru snooped around to find more bandages and found a box that contained more of the long bandage injectors. He started to read the box and then found a paper insert. 'Tam-pax? Gekkei…'Sesshomaru's eyes went wide, as they scanned the characters top to bottom and the illustrations that accompanied them.

Inuyasha was mostly grumbling to himself. "Jerk…Mmmaaah…I'm Sesshomaru king of the assholes…" Then he thought of Kagome. "My mo-om'll blah blah….mna mna mna"

"Here, this should stop the bleeding in your nose".

Before Inuyasha could protest Sesshomaru shoved the applicators in his brother's nostrils and injected the rolled up bandages. "BWAAAAAH!" A nasally Inuyasha said "What nnnda samhell you thinnnk your doinnn'?"

Sesshomaru stared at him blankly and merely blinked in response.

"Grrrrrr…I donnnn't get you!" Inuyasha yapped. He finished off his gripe by crossing his arms and pouting.

Sesshomaru then he started to flick the strings dangling from Inuyasha's nose with his index claw.

"I donnn't get you Sesshomaru!" When Inuyasha got a look at the evil toothless grin spreading across Sesshomaru's face and heard his deep throated chuckle he thought 'What don't I know? What are these things? What's goin' on, here?' Inuyasha eyed his brother suspiciously.

He could hear Kagome running back down the stairs. When Kagome reached the bathroom door she said "Okay guys, Rin is okay. Jakan was there, plus she just was a little shak—WhaaaaAAAAAH! INU—YA-AAASHAAA! SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

Inuyasha slid off the toilet and crashed repeatedly into the tiled floor.

"UuUuUUUHrgh…why? Kagome? why?" Inuyasha squeaked. "This ain't like SIT-ing on grass…ouch!"

"YOU! YOU! YOU KNOW WHAT! PUTTING MY…YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR…IN YOUR NOSE!"

"Uggggh. why Kagome? why? Your I-don't-know-what's!"

"MY TAMPONS!"

"Huh? What the hell's a tampon?"

Kagome considered telling Inuyasha, but decided to forgo the explanation. "FORGET IT!"

Sesshomaru was highly disturbed that a mere mortal girl could have such an enormous power over anyone. 'That necklace glowed…maybe it has to do with that command. No matter, this girl is dangerous.'

Inuyasha unsteadily raised himself up out of the hole as Kagome turned to look at Sesshomaru. The great lord restrained from flinching and merely raised an eyebrow. 'Her eyes are almost feral. I can't allow her humiliate me like that. What-do-I-do-what-do-I-do-what-do-I-do-what-do-I-do-what-do-I-do-what-do-I-do! AH! I KNOW!' Sesshomaru quickly yanked out the cotton from his brother's nose, dropped them on the floor, and ran for it.

He swiftly made it down the hallway and into the room Rin was staying in.
