Travel Through The Times (Inuyasha x Male! Oc)

~Chapter 2: New Beginnings~

After Mistress Centipede was defeated Inuyasha, Kagome, the villagers, and myself helped clean up the village. Once we're done Kaede invited us in. All of us began to eat and talk. Well except for me. I was too lost in my thoughts. Inuyasha being alive had me a bit rattled. As I thought more about it, my feelings, the memories, came back to me.

"Aye Ryu are ye alright. You've been silent this whole time?" Kaede looks to me with concern in her voice.

"Yeah that's not like you." Inuyasha says. My face goes bright red as I look at him.

"O-oh! I'm fine. Just really happy to see you again Inuyasha." I say as a smile spread across my cheeks. My tails happily swayed behind me.

"Anyway, Ryu, you've been a demon all this time?" Kagome asked.

"Well it's kind of a long story. I'm actually only half demon. My mother was full demon and my father was human. My mom died while giving birth to me. When I was about 5 my father kicked me out, and said it was my fault for my mother's death. My father hated me because I have demon blood coursing through my veins, even though my mother was just that too. A demon. After that, I found Inuyasha. He and his mother took me in. We've been close friends since we were kids. One day while we were playing, I fell in the well and crossed over. So that's how I learned to travel through time. As for the part of me going to your school, after Inuyasha was bound to the tree I left this time. Kaede said it was best for me, as I didn't have anything over here anymore. So, I only came back once in a while. That's why I wasn't at school for days on end sometimes. But there is something strange that happens with the well. For some reason, when I cross over to the modern time, I become human. But since Inuyasha is alive, I don't have a reason to go back anymore." I told them as the memories were blurs in the back of my mind.

"Ohh I see. I'm sorry about your family." Kagome says.

"Don''t worry about it! He got over it! Besides he has me now!" Inuyasha said bluntly, slinging his arm over my shoulder. He was always like that. You see, us half demons are very much so different from pure blood demons. We weren't accepted by human society nor demons. We are simply seen as half breeds, nothing more. Weak, and vulnerable, only to be slaughtered. I guess that's why Inuyasha and I are so close. We know what it's like to be nothing more than a half breed.

"Yeah...He's not wrong...." I say while chuckling nervously. My face flushed slightly from our closeness. Kaede looks over and chuckles to herself already understanding my feelings towards Inuyasha. From there, we continued to share many stories with each other, late into the night. Of course there was drink involved as well as food. How could there not be? While everyone was celebrating the safety of the village, I was celebrating the return of lost feelings. Feelings I've had for years. The return of a deep love of mine...that even he may never know of.

After a while of celebrating I needed some fresh air. I wobbled out of the hut, slightly dizzy in my drunken state. I went into the woods to Inuyahsa's tree. When there, I looked at the indent where his body had been. Slowly, I ran my slender fingers across the coarse wood, my long fingernails scratching against it ever so slightly. Then to the center. There, it was smooth, as Inuyasha's body had been there. Memories flood through my mind. Ones of Inuyahsa, and Kikyo. I began to remember them by the lake.

My two tails where excitedly swaying behind me, my Kitsune ears perky as ever. A smile was splayed on my cheeks, as I remembered that Inuyasha and I had planed to do things today. I was quite eager to see my beloved best friend as most of his time had been taken up by Kikyo. Kikyo....I don't hate her...It just hurts seeing him with her. He doesn't see it, but I just have a bad feeling about her. I think to myself with a frown. I shook my head, shaking off the thoughts too. My smile returned as I tell myself to not think of that. Today shall be great!
Inuyasha had told me to meet him by the lake, on the docks. As I was approaching the docks, I wish I never came. My ears immediately drooped. My tail stopped frozen, my body following suit. I could just stare. There I saw Kikyo and Inuyasha, just getting off the boat we were supposed to go on as part of our adventure today. She almost tripped, only to be caught by none other than the half demon himself. He tightly wrapped his arms around her. Kikyo buried her head into his chest, as he said sweet words to her. My entire chest burned. I felt like my own fox fire had just cut a hole through my heart. In that moment I just wanted to sink down into my kimono and never come back out. Was this the first time this happened? No. But every time...I seem to somehow witness it and it hurts all the same. Tears pricked my eyes. I tried to not let them fall. I needed to leave. I couldn't watch this. I run into the forest where him and I would used to meet. I hopped up onto the tree, and let the tears fall....

From there the rest of the memory faded. I, myself, not wanting to remember the rest. But then my mind went to the more happy and light hearted memories of him. The ones of when we would play as children, running through the forest, without a care in the world. One of us slaying demons in the woods together, just for the fun of it, or helping those in need. The ones of chilly nights and he'd let me get close to him for warmth. Even when we'd sit on the branches of the trees and watch the stars. My heart swells in my chest remembering them. I would say that I'm blushing but my face is already warm and flushed from the sake I drank earlier.

"Ryu? What are you doing out here by yourself?"

I hear a slightly deep voice, if you didn't know it, would sound a bit arrogant. I turn, met with golden eyes looking back at me. All I could do was smile and tear up a bit. The liquor is starting to catch up with me.

"You have no idea how happy I am to have you back Inuyasha." I say with slightly slurred speech as I am tipsy.

"What're you getting all mushy on m-" In the moment all I could think of doing was bringing my arms around his middle, to the small of his back. My head was buried into the crook of his neck, his scent intoxicating me even more. The half demon would be lying if he said he didn't blush.

Honestly, I'm surprised he let me get this close to him...had it been anyone else he may not have even looked for them.

"Ryu...," he says in a hoarse voice. He also brought his arms around me, pulling me in. I relished in the small moment as it has been 50 years since I've touched him...or even seen him for that matter. My tails swayed gently behind me.

"Please don't leave me again." I say still clinging onto him.

"You don't have to worry about that for a long time." He says pulling away and looking at me, smirking. My ears slightly droop, missing his warmth.

"Oh there you two are! I see you found him Inuyasha." A female voice rang in my ears. Kagome. I was slightly disappointed it couldn't be just him and I. Even so, I got over it and carried my drunken self back into the hut. I decided it was best to get some rest. Thus, I layed down on my futon, thinking about many things. Before I knew it, sleep had taken me over.
