((I had to update eventually as I grew bored and remembered I still had work to finish with this fic. I got an idea for a Sudden Shippou x Sesshoumaru fice (Not Yaoi to you sick perverts) though it won't be written about for some time though I had the idea before 04 so it will have to be done sometime soon. Well anyways, I learned to write more and to use more detail so hopefully it should reflect in this chapter.))
Seeing them again

Inuyasha struggled to look up to see what was occurring as he seen Sesshoumaru remain quite and not moving a muscle. It took all Inuyasha had to even lift his head, as his body was still trying to deal with the pain and injuries he had been dealt to by the two Kami-Youkais.
It took a lot of strength and even when it was done he could barely see, as blood was causing his vision to appear blurred and red. Inuyasha had seen the band of Warriors speaking in a foreign language though he could guess some of what they were say if they spoke loud enough.
They were talking about attacking somewhere from what he could understand though he didn't understand anything but the tone and rage in the voice of the speakers. They rode on horse backs, taller then the Chinese; that were small and had walked in troops from what he seen.
Their armor was different too as it happened to look like it was made from lesser materials then metal, something that the Chinese always seemed to have, as if they cherished it above anything else. Not one to analyze Inuyasha only managed to note those things because the actual Chinese fighters stood across from them with their long bows drawn at their side.
Sesshoumaru remained still and silent as he looked up a bit, moving a little as possible as he seemed to want to know what was occurring without being seen. He had taken a lot of damage, enough to slow him down but not enough to keep him from battle. His injuries how ever were the least of his problems. He was bound to Inuyasha somehow and thus could not afford to let his brother die in battle and possibly face the same fate.
He was also very fatigued and could barely draw his legs towards him without letting out a puff of exhaustion, something he normally kept hidden or didn't even feel. He was attempting to let his body relax and heal up, but it seemed like he was being drained simply by staying put and trying to rest so he did as much as he could to stay still but not relax or let down his guard as he was in no form or state to enter battle.
Inuyasha knew that he would be denying his death if he went out and tried to fight the two forces and he barely could lift his head so trying to battle would be a feat in its self. He looked to see Sesshoumaru was in better condition then him and actually could fight, but he doubted that his brother would even push his self to the limits and would attempt to kill the two groups that just arrived.
Looking up Inuyasha seen the sky was a green and orange color which confused the hell out of him as he pointed up to the sky before he collapsed to the ground. It was far from the same color as the "Warring States" sky which was just blue with a hint of green sometimes, something was wrong.
He may have been no lead person who knew everything about a given situation but he sure knew when something was wrong and something said that the sky was way too off and strange to be normal.
"We aren't in Japan." Inuyasha said lowly enough so that only dog demons could barely hear it as he seen Sesshoumaru ignore him which made him grow angry.
He could do little to change the fact though as he took to much abuse in the battle, and that by battling the dragons, he was too drained to even move his neck let alone try to face Sesshoumaru who still could fight swiftly and likely could take out some people in battle.
Sesshoumaru looked up to see the group of people had already vanished as he soon seen some mutilated bodies hanging off some of the dune arches of sand. It was as if the battle was over weeks ago though that had to have happened just moments ago. He knew that where he was, the place was very different, but for a battle such as what remained to happen so fast, only explanation was that time moved by faster or that the people could have battles at anytime and have those types of results, maybe a combination of both but what ever it was he planed on not seeing it again.
Sesshoumaru did what he could as he dragged Inuyasha by the leg away from the dunes as the Hanyou could do little till they arrived by a river bead in a forest. Sitting down next to the water Sesshoumaru took off his obi as he sat in some smaller though still protective clothing as he eyed Inuyasha's bloody form.
"Where the hell is this place?" Inuyasha demanded as he was ignored.
A breeze came through as Sesshoumaru remained quite looking around. He frankly couldn't say and was shocked to say the least, that he managed to even get through to the area. He looked at the Green and Orange sky once more as he seen the electricity from the barrier crackle a bit as he folded his arms with his fangs showing.
"No answer then, well at least do you know anything about this place?" Inuyasha asked once more anger heavily spewing from his mouth.
"No I do not know a thing about this place except it bounds me to you and that it slows down our healing process." Sesshoumaru admitted as he watched Inuyasha look down to his injured body still annoyed that he was damaged.
"Why then, any bright ideas know it all?" Inuyasha muttered as he was ignored.
Sesshoumaru sat down next to a tree resting as he tied his injured leg up with his obi as Inuyasha just barely forced himself in a sitting position opposite to him. It annoying Sesshoumaru, he was bonded to some one he viewed as an incompetent, no good, sorry excuse for a Halfling let alone kin and a brother. He couldn't see anything that Inuyasha could provide to benefit him as the fool was still untrained with using his own sword and was to hurt to use it anyway.
Sesshoumaru intended to fix that, he would rather cut off his brothers hand and use the sword with it and escape rather then depending on Inuyasha. He couldn't though as he didn't know the extent of the bond and could have hurt himself more then he already was. He made a came fire instead, using clothe soaked in water then dried by the fire to wrap his and Inuyasha's injuries as he could do much more.
The smoke was likely going to draw attention to their position and in a foreign land with no allies but a bastard brother who would rather cut you down over a sword that he didn't care for anymore wasn't really good. Inuyasha was contemplating should he even try to struggle to put out the flames for his own safety but before he even got the chance he seen that the flame was put out by another.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha yelled at the darkness as he heard swords unsheathe as he heard some glints of metal connecting a few times before he seen a yellow spark flare up and another fire started.
Standing was a worn out Sesshoumaru who barely had the ability to stand and yet did so out of pure will power and muscle as he looked around. The female healers and warriors from earlier were surrounding them yet again with bows and swords as it looked as if they came to capture Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru yet again.
"We've come to retrieve you after hearing what you have caused us?" One of the bow handling women said as Inuyasha snorted before struggling to stand, so he used the base of the tree to stand.
"Know your place, its either making some dinner or baby sitting, not trying to force us to be eaten by some god demons." Inuyasha yelled holding his weight up with a fully transformed Sword in its diamond form.
"How dare you make such a shovonistic comment towards us? We ought to take your head." The bow handling woman said as Inuyasha got even angrier.
"What the hell, do it then bitch and see if I don't cut you were you stand. Your under the impression I give a fuck." Inuyasha yelled as Sesshoumaru held his sword though was embarrassed by his brothers actions.
"We take you now then." One of the other female archers yelled as she took a shot at Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru managed to block the attack with his sword before rushing at her with his sword.
