Chapter 8: Through the Well and into a whole new world

 

“Few quick rules of my era,” Kagome started as she looked at the impatient Dog Lords. “ There is no killing! When we get back to my place, you'll have to get a change of clothes. Normally people do not wear what you are, in my era. And is there a way to hide those tails?”

 

They looked back at their tails that flicked back and forth, agitated. It'd be a hard thing to hide such things even in pants. Perhaps they could wear their haori's and have them stuffed in their pants? It'd work out much better then throwing a pair of confining jeans on them.

 

“No, I do not like my tail being restricted,” InuTaisho said shifting his son InuYasha's unconscious body in his arms. He took up the task, seeing how much Sesshomaru was energy using just holding him. The journey to the Well was a long tiring one. “But if it's necessary I will.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded.

 

“Oh, another few rules, no chasing after cars. Those will be the big metal objects on wheels. They are no danger unless you are hit by them, by going in front of them. Other rules, beware of cleptos, they enjoy stealing valued objects. And another rule, you'll have to leave your swords at my house. My world's safer than yours, and won't have evil demons coming after you.” She observed them looking at her as if she was mad, before going to look at their weapons. “Yes, you heard me.”

 

They sighed and nodded in agreement.

 

“And also, just in case someone comments on your demon markings, don't get worked up about them calling them 'Tattoos'; in my era, just about everyone has a tattoo. They're not demons. It's just ink within the skin. Hence the reason I do not ask for you to cover your markings.

 

“Now, let's get a move on. It's sorta a short fall but keep him supported. Getting both of you out of the well may be harder than getting in,” she commented as she got ready to jump down the well.

 

“Don't worry, I can jump high,” InuTaisho commented, getting ready next to her and Sesshomaru, to jump.

 

“Alright. Let's go!”

 

Down and down they went, as ominous lights appeared to swirl around their bodies. They caressed them and embraced their bodies as their feet soon found soft ground. Immediately they smelt the foul pollution within the air. It was indeed that they were in another era. If it didn't kill the human race, they would be fine, they would just have to deal with the sulfur in the air among other things. They looked up to find the well was now covered. Kagome was already climbing up. Sesshomaru easily leap from the well into the hard wooden floorboards, and looked back down at his father who sprung from the bottom of the well and landed neatly beside his son.

 

“Follow me,” Kagome said as she opened the sliding wood doors and poked her head out, looking and then giving a nod of approval.

 

Stepping outside, they discovered her new world was so much different than theirs. Flat hard gray rock covered the area. And oddly built houses, made with odd material, were all over. There were long things in the air with unmoving wings; they made loud noises that made them cringe. They saw the Tree of Ages though, and it gave them some sense of home.

 

They followed quickly behind the human girl, who led them to a tan and brown Japanese-style house where she opened the door and called out a greeting to those who were within. “I'm home! Mom, I need you to come here quickly!” she shouted and looked around, spotting a highly overweight calico house cat sitting on the counter eating butter. “BUYO! NO!” she shouted as she ran to shoo the fat cat off of the counter and quickly putting the butter out of his reach and into the refrigerator. “Damn cat...” She looked back at the two three dog demons who stood in the door's entryway looking at the fat cat in immense fascination. “He's not to eat! If that's what you're thinking.”

 

“No, I was just thinking how fat that cat really was...” Sesshomaru trailed off watching Buyo lick himself before giving a fat meow and waddling into the other room. His attention turned to the footsteps coming into that part of the house. It must have been her mother.

 

“What is it?” A petite lady around her mid-thirties with short brown hair entered the room wearing an aqua blouse and a yellow skirt.

 

InuTaisho could believe his eyes. Women with short hair? What was this era coming too? He had never seen such thing in his time. It was absurd!

 

“Oh my! You're both covered in blood! Oh my, oh my!” she said, going over to them, ignoring the warning growls.

 

“Mother, they're from the feudal era. InuYasha needs help from a private medical doctor. I thought maybe your friends at the hospital could help out. But there is a catch, they're demons. Dog demons, their bodies are different.” Kagome pointed to their tails and ears, and then to InuYasha's bloody dog ears.

 

“I see. . .” she said, observing the damage and the demons. “Well, let's get them washed, I'm sure I can find some clothes for them to wear to the hospital. But they need to shower that blood from their bodies, or they'll look suspicious.”

 

The demons were utterly speechless. They expected a screeching parent who would order them out, or a human running in fear, especially when it was this era. They were not expecting something as a mother caring about them.

 

“Kagome, go get blankets and set them on the couch. Put many pillows on there as well.” She watched her daughter go and prepare a bed for him on the couch before turning her attention to the two demon men that just stood there unsure of what to do. “You two, you need showers. You're full with blood! Come follow me.”

 

“A shower?” Sesshomaru said suddenly feeling ignorant.

 

“Well would you prefer a bath?” she asked, leading them to a bathroom upstairs.

 

“I think that would be best,” Sesshomaru said as he looked at the peach and yellow bathroom. There were bright orbs that produced light with a flick of a switch on the wall, lighting the bathroom. And there looked to be a bowl of water. which was probably used for waste, in the far corner next to another bowl with faucets and silver handles on each side of a long middle one that pointed down.

 

He looked around. Seeing his reflection in a shiny reflection glass piece he looked disgusting, with blood on his face, gaunt eyes, burns and wounds all over. His baggy pants which he had pulled on with difficulty right before they left the western lands were torn and ready to fall off his slender muscular hips.

 

“I'll start it,” she said leaning over to plug the drain, before running the water. They watched in fascination at the new technology and plumbing system. “ Would you like for me to wash you?” she said looking at Sesshomaru.

 

It'd be nice, he thought, since he couldn't use his left hand any longer it'd make the task harder. He would learn sometime or later though. For now, he would accept. “Yes, madam, I'd like that.” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Alright, you strip and climb in. I'll be right back. I have to put your brother?” she paused as she looked at Sesshomaru and back at InuYasha, and back at him, in which he nodded. “Your brother on the couch and take care of your father?” Another nod. “ - In another bathroom. I'll be back in a few.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded and watched the door close behind them.

 

“Are you sure he'll be alright?” InuTaisho said. looking for reassurance again as he watched the water run into the pink bathtub on the first floor.

 

“Don't worry, Kagome won't hurt him. And no one is about to touch him,” Kagome's mother said as she patted him in reassurance on his bear shoulder fearlessly. When the water is a few inches from here,” she pointed about 3 inches from the top of the tub, “Turn it off, by pushing this lever straight down, like so.” She demonstrated it to him before he tried again and gave a nod before she turned it back on. “I have to go wash your son. When you need to dry off use the towels on the counter.” She quickly explained how to use the products in the bathroom, like the shampoo and conditioner, then pointed out the square paddle brush next to the towels that could brush his hair out with ease. He nodded again and let her go to Sesshomaru who waited in the tub up stairs.

 

Sesshomaru watched as the bath filled higher and heard the turning of a bronze handle and Kagome's mother walking in with a small smile. “Ready?” she asked.

 

“Yes,” he replied.

 

“Dunk your head under,” she instructed. Watching him go under and quickly come back up with a wet mane she grabbed a bottle of shampoo and globed a handful in her hands and went behind him and began to message his head, working the shampoo deep within his hair and rubbing it so all the blood that was dried in it would come out.

 

She washed his hair three times, twice for shampooing, once for conditioning. Then another 2 times for his tail, shampooing and conditioning, before she drained the bathtub and refilled it as she ran to get a fresh bar of medical disinfectant soap and a sponge from the closet outside while she waited for the tub that was red from blood fill again.

 

“Don't worry. We have time. I'll call them right before we leave to go to the hospital, to let them know that we're coming,” she said, as she looked atthe anxiety in his eyes. She put the sponge in the water to wet it before wringing it out again and putting a goo on the sponge, before lathering it up and washing the rest of Sesshomaru's body, stopping briefly at his arm. “May I ask what happened?”

 

“I had my arm cut off by the creature that did what he did to my brother. We fought, he cut my arm off, and ran off with it. Now I am armless.”

 

“Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.” She looked at his chest and abdomen. She had to admit his body was still quite impressive even if it were scarred up. “Do you wish to wash your front?”

 

He gave a short nod, and took the sponge from her. Washing himself he was careful of his wounds. He washed his face as well as the rest of his body. He could smell himself. He smelt sterile and of honey and milk-rose. It was nice.

 

There was a sudden knock on the door and InuTaisho walked in with a towel around his hips. With his wet hair hanging smoothly down his back, freshly brushed, he looked like a God. “I'm finished, I need clothes.” He looked over at Sesshomaru who was rising off.

 

“Alright, let me go find something. Stay here,” she said as she rose from her knees and went out of the room and shut the door behind her.

 

“Can you smell something?” The dog Lord said as he sniffed around. “That's not supposed to be you or me?”

 

Sesshomaru hadn't notice the new smell that was around them. It was a male dog in heat. Neither of them was in heat. It had to be InuYasha downstairs. Somehow Naraku triggered a heat that was supposed to happen while he was held captive, but he never really got to having himself buried within InuYasha's body when it came. He must have had wanted to mate with him to claim some ownership over the Western lands, or maybe just for a more powerful demon to take over their lands. “He must have triggered it,” Sesshomaru said stating the obvious. “He'll have to recover fast, and we'll have to take him in seclusion,” he said distractedly as the scent drove his own senses haywire. His body's organ erected itself at its mate's scent.

 

“Or...” InuTaisho started looking at his son knowingly. “You can mate with him and produce an heir. A full blooded heir.”

 

“I know. I should, but not now.” Sesshomaru rose from the shower and with one hand he reached back to try to wring his hair out, but found his father helping him. He grabbed for a towel, leaned against the wall and secured it. He looked at a paddle brush and began automatically to brush his hair out, wincing every once in a while at a few tangles. “I'm surprise she took washing me so well...,” he said absently as he turned to his father.

 

“I agree. This human's odd.”

 

“She must hear a lot about demons, when Kagome comes back to her time,” thought Sesshomaru, sitting down on the edge of the bathtub and leaning down to pull the water-stopper from the bottom of the tub.

 

They sat in silence for a moment. The scent of his brother's beginning heat touched his nostrils. It worried him. His brother's heat could easily trigger his own, because they were destined to be life mates. And life mates would share the burden of heats and pains.

 

But Sesshomaru couldn't have a heat when his mate-to-be was out of order. In addition, they would probably both suffer. InuYasha had to get better soon. At least well enough to mate the way their kin did.

 

Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome's mother who walked in with a small stack of clothes and set them down on the counter. “I only could find some long slacks. We'll have to stop at the store quickly to grab a few shirts for you.” She distributed the slacks to them and watched them slip them on. They struggled toto adjust them to their tails, which remained wet.

 

Laughing, she squeezed them out with a towel quickly then neatly she brushed them. Since Sesshomaru's was broken, she bandaged it up nicely so it looked like a horse's tail that was wrapped. Sesshomaru didn't like the confining feeling but it felt much better. It gave him confidence that it would not hurt if he bumped it on something, plus it also fit in the slacks he was given. However, his father's casewas different.

 

“I hate it when it gets tangled! I don't really want it in there,” he grumbled as he reluctantly tucked his tail in his pants. He looked in the mirror. He looked too human now. But that was the point. To blend in. Reluctantly they went downstairs to grab InuYasha and go.

 

“Wait right here. I'm going to call them and let them know I'm bringing you,” the mother said, going to the kitchen to call, using some odd plastic thing. “Then I'll meet you guys in front of the house.”

 

Sesshomaru watched his father pick up his mate-to-be carefully bringing the sheets with him as well so he wouldn't get blood on him. His nostrils were picking up his brother's scent more closely and it was driving him nuts all over. His brother moaned in his sleep. He could feel the effects of his heat within his brother.

 

Kagome looked at him. “Is he going to be alright?”

 

“Yes, he's going into heat. He'll need to be in and out of the hospital as soon as he can,” InuTaisho said, starting out the door nearby, which he took for the front door.

 

“A heat!” she asked, shocked. She went to open the door for them and led the way to a dark blue car. She helped open the back door to the car and let them climb in where she strapped them in, telling them it was for safety reasons, before climbing into the front and waiting for her mother to come, which she did. “We may have trouble with medical expenses so we may need some items from your era, so I can sell it on Ebay here for money to pay for him later.”

 

They looked puzzled, “Ebay..? What's that?” InuTaisho asked sceptically.

 

“Oh, yeah.. you don't know, well it's just place you can sell things,” she explained watching them slowly nod.

 

“Alright, I'll bring you something than when we get back,” InuTaisho replied. He had all the stuff in the world that in this time could be worth lots of value. “I can bring you a few dozen diamonds, will that work?”

 

“Dozen? Holy crap! That's more than enough!” she said quickly.

 

“So it's settled.”

 

Kagome's mother opened the door and climbed in the car. She put a piece of metal into the ignition and looked back telling them not to get scared. They nodded and she started the car and backed out of the driveway.

 

The whole ride down the road to the nearby clothing store was a fearful one. They just sat in fear as they passed cars and felt the carsickness arising in their stomach. They clutched the door handles and dug their claws into them. They were beginning to hate it.

 

Coming to a stop and the engine turning off, Kagome's mother smiled looking back at them. “I'll be right out dears. Try to behave yourselves.”

 

They nodded.

 

They watched as she disappeared into the large building. The dog demons looked around at the outside world. There were large oddly constructed buildings. They were tall! VERY tall. It was scary to think something could be that way, even in dog form they'd be surpassed by such structures. Being in a box for the past 10 minutes was a killer for Sesshomaru who pulled the latch that opened the door and automatically pushed the safety belt release button and stepped out. He needed air. His hidden erectionthrobbed in pain. He clutched it through the cloth and rubbed it slightly. “God's! Why now?” he growled.

 

“Sesshomaru. Try not to think about it,” InuTaisho, Sesshomaru's father, said as he observed with a sympathetic look. He knew how the heats were for true mates. His father knew InuYasha was triggering his son's own. He knew his son would soon become more moody. He would loose his cool more easily. He would also have severe mood swings if he didn't find relief from his mate.

 

“Kinda hard to!” he snapped.

 

They looked to see Kagome's mother coming towards them with a paper bag. She looked at Sesshomaru in understanding. “Here, I hope this fits you. Put it on,” she said handing him a white wife-beater tank top, which he put on. It stretched to hug his muscles and his every curve. Sesshomaru didn't like how his arm was still exposed but he like the feeling of the white clothing. “That fits nicely! Now, papa, you should put this on.” She tossed him an identical top, which he put on immediately. He thanked her, watched her smile, go to the driver's seat and start the car.

 

Sesshomaru got back in the car reluctantly. He didn't want to be close to his brother when he too was going into a heat. He could later relieve himself when he was alone in a room. It would be barbaric to do it in front of the people helping him.

 

They drove quickly to a nearby hospital where nurses were at the door waiting for them with a stretcher. The human mother pulled to a stop in front of them before turning off the car. The nurses helped open the door and InuTaisho followed his son, Sesshomaru, out of the car. The nurses paid no attention to InuYasha's ears or tail they just took him gently from the hands of his father and placed him on a bed on wheels, before instructing them to follow them. They began muttering instructions and asked him of all the injuries that they knew he had.

 

They followed the human healers inside a sanitary healing place. They led them to a desk where they asked for them to fill out a piece of paper.

 

They took a seat in a waiting place, as they looked over the form completely confused. “What the fuck is insurance?” asked InuTaisho looking at a confused Sesshomaru. He looked at the rest of the form, half the stuff on there he didn't know, like “Social security number”, “Home address” among other things.

 

Looking up, InuTaisho saw Kagome and her mother walking through the magical sliding doors they had passed in wonder, and coming straight to them with a small smile on their faces as they looked at their own confused ones. “Need help?” her mother asked holding out her hand for theclipboard. “I'm sure you have no Idea what those are.”

 

They nodded and InuYasha's father handed the clipboard over and watched the short-haired lady sit beside him quickly filling it out and getting up to give it to the receptionist at the front desk. She started talking rapidly, as women often do. They didn't pick up on any of it, but Kagome did, and she giggled and smiled before going sober.

 

“How long till I see my brother?” asked Sesshomaru who looked a bit sweaty. She could tell he was suffering a bit.

 

“I have no idea, the doctor should be coming out shortly to let us know what's going on,” the mother said coming to sit down next to InuTaisho's side. “They've already taken him into the emergency room.” Seeing their looks of confusion, she quickly explained the rooms and the terms you would often hear in the hospital.

 

“So... How long do you think he'll be in the Operating room?” asked Sesshomaru who shifted with unease in his chair. He was sweating even more.

 

“I'm guessing with the extent of his injuries, possibly 10 hours?” she replied. “So you'd better take a nap or something. It'll be a long wait for you.”

 

Ah, just what Sesshomaru needed, a long wait! Maybe he would sleep. It'd help pass the time. It would also help his mind to rest, taking his mind off of his heat. Maybe they'd give him a room. A bed would be nice. He hated sleeping on his rear. “Do you think I can get a room?” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Well, usually they do not allow you to have rooms, but since you too are injured and you look exhausted. I think I can get you one. Just wait here.” The mom got up to talk with one of the nurses. They exchanged looks before the nurse in scrubs nodded. Kagome's mother came back. “Yes, she's preparing a room for you right now. Oh, also I talked with her, she said she can clean your wounds and stitch the other wounds of yours I saw on your side and back as well, that's if you do not mind.”

 

Sesshomaru didn't mind. As long as he had his privacy after, he would be fine with anything. He needed to relieve the throbbing erection. Any relief would be heaven.

 

Before the nurse came to take him away, the doctor that was working with InuYasha walked past the swinging doors and came over to them.

 

The doctor was dressed in blue scrubs; he wore a white mask across his nose and mouth. He wore a blue cap and a “Y” necklace that hung around his neck. He walked over to shake hands with Kagome's mother, his co-worker. “ Hi, I'm Doctor Kai,” he said, shaking hands with Kagome, Sesshomaru who looked at it before shaking it, then onto InuTaisho who shook it. The doctor looked at them with a serious look. “So here's the deal, I know you asked me not to ask any questions on his looks, and I'm not asking them. I'm just making sure you wanna pay that much. His condition is pretty critical. His skull in the back is almost unrepairable but, we can do it. He has concussions all over. His brain's pretty bruised up. We also need to suture his back.” He paused looking at them, “He has a lot of work to be done, but I'm up for the challenge.” He looked at Sesshomaru with concern. “Are you alright?”

 

“He is having a bad case of erectile dysfunction, perhaps he could get ice?” she said quickly with a blush.

 

“Of course. I'll tell the nurse,” Doctor Kai said. He looked at Kagome's mother. “Joy, this may take a few hours. 12 at the most. I better go get started.” (A/n: I didn't know what Kagome's mother's name is so I made it up. Suits her kinda... She's just so joyful. If you have any suggestions for names please let me know.)

 

She smiled. “Well, hurry up, do your best.”

 

Kagome looked at the nurse Dr. Kai passed and told her to grab a bag of ice for Sesshomaru's “Erectile dysfunction”. She giggled at the stupidity of it. She looked at the nurse who smiled and came over to grab Sesshomaru.

 

“Be good,” Kagome said smiling. “ We do not wish any trouble.”

 

“I'll be good. I'm not like you beings...” he trailed off getting up to follow the nurse into the nearby room past the swinging doors.

 

“Think he'll be alright alone?” Kagome asked her mother looking unsure.

 

“I think so. He's holding up pretty well.”

 

InuTaisho looked puzzled, he looked at the females, “Erectile dysfunction?”

 

Kagome's mother smiled. “It's some problem men have these days, where their erections will not go down. Ice often helps. But it was a good excuse.”

 

He nodded, crossing his arms. He didn't know how he felt on the subject but he closed his eyes. He could rest a little. But he wanted to explore this world. This new age. It sparked his curiosity. But for now he could wait. He wanted to be inrange in case anything went wrong.

 

A/n- Woo! A long chapter! And I got it done in 2 days! Sweet! Onto chapter 9 it should be good. Please comment and review! Thanks!
