"Ugh..." Kurenai's palm landed on the throbbing of her head as her rich, blood red orbs fluttered open to the blurry sight of blue skies and wispy clouds. Blinking the haze off her vision, she pushed herself off the carpet of grass to grasp her surroundings.

Lying unconscious a few meters away is Sango with Miroku's arm protectively wrapped around her, a little further from them and also knocked out is Shippo and finally, her eyes found the familiar red and silver blur of Inuyasha, clutching his head in pain. His amber eyes flickered with concern as they converged on her.

"Kurenai! Are you alright?!"

"Yes, just a little sore. You?"

"Keh. Got a few nicks here and there." he shrugged before his eyes turned into slits as he tore them away from her.

"Sesshoumaru? You're still here?!" the hanyou barked and her head whipped around to where he's been glaring.

The daiyoukai made no response to his half-brother and kept his full focus is on the unconscious little girl in his arms.

"Is Rin alright?" Kurenai can't help but ask, worried.

Without moving his head, Sesshoumaru's icy amber eyes peeked at the human woman that spoke, he doesn't have any desire to involve himself with any of his brother's entourage and yet, the genuine concern in those scarlet eyes coaxed him to respond.

"It seems there is no threat to her life although she has some scratches." he looked down at Rin and moved his hand to carefully tapped the girl's cheek, "Rin, wake up. Come on Rin, wake up." he urged until the girl finally awakes.

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin whispered, a faint smile crossed the daiyoukai's face for a split second before his gaze flew to Kurenai who sighed in relief. The miko's deep concern for his ward who she rarely spent any time with is a mystery to Sesshoumaru.

Kurenai didn't notice the daiyoukai's musing as she herself mused about the events that brought them to this state.

They encountered a sinister witch who has a twisted obsession with Naraku and satisfying his desires. Even with both their groups fighting the witch, it was still an uphill battle before it seemed like they're getting the upper hand, and that was when the witch began chanting and blasted them off by a blue light and everything went black.

Recalling everything that happened made Kurenai aware of her injuries as the pain registered to her brain, she has a shallow gash on both her left arm and leg, and when she moved to stand, she found out she sprained her right ankle. 'Great' she rolled her eyes.

She ignored the pain and dragged herself towards the young kitsune.

"Hey Kurenai, what happened?" Inuyasha eyed what she's doing.

"I hurt my ankle," she replied, still dragging herself.

"Then stop moving, wench! I'll check on them instead." he barked.

"I'm fine, I'm almost there anyway. Just check on Sango and Miroku, I'll handle Shippo." Inuyasha huffed at the woman's stubbornness.

Sesshoumaru watched with seemingly bored eyes as the raven haired struggled to get to her companion despite her condition. It is beyond him how she puts herself aside for others when she's clearly in pain.

After much effort, Kurenai settled beside Shippo and pulled him onto her lap. His breathing seem to be stable and he doesn't seem to have any serious injures except for some scratches. While assessing the young kit, she noticed movement from the corner of her eye, she looked up and sighed at what she saw.

"Geez Miroku! Stop pretending you're still knocked out you pervert!" Miroku's hand making its way to Sango's butt flinched and the monk peeked at her with a nervous grin.

"Oh Lady Kurenai, I'm glad you're alright," he said, feigning innocence.

"Check on Sango you idiot!" Inuyasha scolded him.

"I was! And you interrupted me." the monk debated which got two pairs of eye rolls.

Kurenai's stare fell back to Shippo and started to gently nudge him awake, smiling when she felt the kitsune shift and then open his eyes.

"Mama?" he asked, eyes still glazed.

"Yes, I'm here. Thank God you're alright."

'SLAP'

Kurenai shook her head at the sound, she figured the demon-slayer's finally came to and reprimanded the monk for his mischief.

"PERVERT!" Sango's voice echoed.

Kurenai felt relieved at seeing her companions awake and lively despite walking away with minor injuries from the recent altercation.

"I'm glad you're okay Sango." she smiled at Sango who smiled back.

"Me too."

"Where the hell are we?!" Inuyasha roared and they finally paid attention to their surroundings. It wasn't long however, for Kurenai to realize where they are and her eyes grew ridiculously wide.

"No way." she uttered in disbelief, 'They're in Los Angeles!'

"What is it wench?" the hanyou asked as his amber eyes scanned the unfamiliar environment. They're perched on a grassy slope columned by tall, lush trees and he can also spot a lake nearby peppered with birds cruising all over it. But what got their attention the most are the concrete architecture seemingly rising and falling at the horizon ahead.

"This is my era." Kurenai breathed.

They looked at Kurenai in stunned silence, they're five hundred years into the future?!
