TWO

"This is my era." Kurenai breathed and her companions stared at her in stunned silence, "And this is the spot I go to travel to your time." she looked around and the well she jumps into to travel to the Feudal era is nowhere to be found. Surely, the witch is behind its disappearance and they'll have to figure a way out of this predicament.

But before that, they need to get out of plain sight, it's lucky that there's not much people at the park but it's not ideal for the demons to be on display in this era.

"Inuyasha, can you bring my backpack over here please?" she asked the hanyou who swiftly picked up the massive item and set it beside her.

Kurenai reached in and fished out her phone that's encased in the thickest, most shock-proof case she could find. She hated the bulky thing but it beats having to buy a new phone every time the one she has gets smashed at the savage Feudal era.

Her companions watched her curiously as she tapped her fingers on it before diving back into her bag for the first aid kit.

'Finally back from your adventure sis?' her brother's voice laced with mischief greeted through the speaker, and her companions' eyes widened at hearing the item speak, sort of.

"Later with your playfulness brother. I need you to pick us up quickly." she said loudly as she opened up the first aid kit.

'US? Are you okay sis?' the concern is evident her brother's voice and they can hear shuffling and clinking on the other line.

"I'll explain when you get here. Use the Escalade, there're seven of us. Please bring some clean cloth, an ice pack and bottles of water for us." she pinched her eyes close hoping he won't worry too much but winced when she heard him take a sharp breath.

'Jesus Kurenai, you're giving me a heart attack, same place right?'

"Yeah, I'm fine Ren, don't worry." She assured him, "Drive carefully okay? I hope it's not rush hour."

'Me too. I'll be there soon sis, sit tight.'

"Okay, call me when you're almost here." she said and let her brother hang up.

"What the hell is that?" Inuyasha snarled in confusion.

The red-eyed looked up and smiled at the baffled faces around her.

"In this era, everything is fast paced and communication is vital. This device is something we use to communicate with people who are either thousands of miles away or just beside us." she tried her best to give an easy explanation but they remained perplexed and she can't help but chuckle.

"This era?" Sesshoumaru's cold voice cut through their trivia session. They forgot that he's around and he doesn't know that she came from the future.

The group had no choice but explain everything to the Lord of the West while they applied first aid to one another.

Everything from how she stumbled upon the well, how she met Inuyasha, how she shattered the jewel shards that made her travel with Inuyasha to bring it back together and how the whole day she spends in the feudal is equal to only three hours in this time and it's the same thing when she's home, she'll spend a day in her own era with only three hours passing by in the feudal era. She also told them about the disappearance of the well and that they will have to find out how to bring it back.

"So this is the world that you came from?" Sesshoumaru surveyed the foreign surroundings once more. His face contorted in disgust at the weight of pollution in the air and the noise attacking his sensitive senses making his head throb.

"I know with your heightened senses you'll find this world a tad filthier than I sometimes think it is but yeah, this is my home."

Just as Kurenai finished bandaging Sango's wound on her arm, her phone rang to her brother's ringtone and she picked it up.

"Hey bro."

'Almost there sis.' he informed.

"Great! See you at the entrance then," she hung up and turned to her friends.

"He's close. We should head to the entrance." Kurenai stared at her very demon companions, "Alright, Inuyasha wrap this around your head." She handed a scarf to the hanyou.

"What?" he growled.

"I told you before, there are no demons in this era therefore we can't risk humans seeing you like this, it will cause an uproar. I found a spell in great grandma's spell book to hide your demon features which must be what demons today—if there are any—use to blend in but for now, hide your ears," She said and the hanyou grudgingly took the scarf and wrapped it on his head. She wrapped one on Shippo's head and a shirt around the kit's waist to hide his tail.

"Is it too tight sweetie?" she asked.

The kitsune gave her a toothy grin, "Not at all mama."

"What about Lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked, as she clutched the Lord's sleeve.

"She's right Kurenai, his ears and markings will draw attention right?" Sango pointed.

Kurenai's eyes landed on the daiyoukai in contemplation.

Sesshoumaru glared at her with cold eyes, "This Sesshoumaru will not have anything on his head."

She can't help but roll her eyes, earning a scowl from the demon. "Figured as much. There's no need to I guess, his markings can be mistaken for tattoos that some people of this age have themselves marked with intentionally, which I also have." she lifted her left wrist that bore a small roman number two on the side. "As for your ears, just cover them with your hair." she suggested.

Despite his displeasure at being casually told what to do, Sesshoumaru knew he should comply. This is the woman's territory and she's the only one who can keep the complicated situation under control.

"Okay, let's go." with Inuyasha and Sango's aid, Kurenai hopped on one foot and they headed to the park entrance.
