Catching on immediately, she peered through the window just in time to realize that there was no moon where there should have been. It was impossible! The new moon wasn't for another two weeks! Panicking internally, she quickly realized it was two weeks away in the past, they time traveled to a different date in the future, the night of the new moon. Forcing herself to stay calm she moved to his side, before gently pushing him down, "We need to remove the arrow now or you could die from blood loss overnight." Placing her hand on the shaft she braced herself to pull the arrow out.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

With that she pushed all thoughts of him dying, or them being found while he was wounded, from her mind and pulled. Releasing her pent up breath she held the offending arrow in her hand as she watched the wound close. Inuyasha was unconscious, the internal wounds would heal at a much slower rate and the shock from the removal of the arrow and the transition to his human form was too much for his body to handle. She smoothed his now black hair out of his eyes and pressed her fingers to his jugular, before sighing, his pulse was strong.

Sighing in relief she allowed herself a moment to relax, before a sound from outside reminded her of the current situation.

She began to think of strategies to survive with her wounded partner, on her own she could run, Kagome stood a chance alone, but not with a wounded Inuyasha. Leaving him was not an option.

We are in a corner so they can't attack from behind, but they can still surround us and Inuyasha can't fight right now and the Tetsaiga is usless to me, I have my arrows but I doubt I can hold out till morning, not with the power and numbers I sense around me. My best hope is to hide in the shadows behind a barrier and hope it's invisible to their technology.

Suddenly realizing she still had the tracker she put up the barrier and secured it to an arrow, aiming as best as she could from the kneeling position she took aim and fired shattering a window just as the group from before entered. It was a long shot but if she left alone it would lead the enemy straight to them. Still as she watched them enter she had a nagging feeling she forgot something.


"Shhh!" Bruce looked up guiltily from the ground, he was no super spy and was untrained in the art of stealth so it wasn't a surprise to everybody he had kicked at broken bottle possibly alerting their targets of their presence. In fact the only reason he was here at all was the possibility that the girl needed medical attention if she was even still alive.

Natasha sighed, this was the reason she had tried to convince everybody to let her and Clint infiltrate the building first, it was also the reason she had demanded Thor watch the perimeter from the skies and stay back until called. The others weren't trained to be stealthy like she and Clint were, to be honest until they knew the situation inside they were a liability.

At her sight Clint gave her a silent I-know-what-you're-thinking-this-is-what-it-means-to-to-part-of-a-team-look. Shrugging in response she tensed when she heard a sound from inside. Cautiously entering she looked around, unable to shake the nagging feeling she was being watched but also unable to see anyone.

Following the signal from the tracker Tony found it first and immediately noticed the dried blood on it and the lack of any surrounding blood.

It must have been moved, I don't know out the monster could have found it, it was too well hidden and the monster was too big for the girl to have found it on her own.

Nothing made sense, he'd been trying to figure things out from the beginning, the way the girl ran screaming from the all-American-good guy straight to the giant monster, and why'd the beast stop short of finishing any of them off. The only thing he could think of was they were working together, but where would a girl come across a forty foot monster; last time he checked they weren't selling the at the pest store. I'll just have to find her and get a straight answer.

Calling out softly to his teammates he quickly showed the arrow to Hawkeye who calculated where the arrow had come from. With Natasha and Clint in the lead the group further into the warehouse.
