Travel Through The Times (Inuyasha x Male! Oc)

~Chapter 6: Healing~

(Ryu Pov)

It had been a few days since I finally came to. I'm glad the many feverish dreams were over...It was a lot. That type of thing hadn't really happened to me very much. Although ever since I was small I had a weak immune system, but nothing like that. I'm still not completely sure what happened to me. What was it that I saw? It felt so real, and I was so.... scared. I felt so trapped in that younger version of myself. And that crystal ball, why did I need it to live? It just felt too important to my survival. Can't let it bog me down...Gently I shook my head to clear my racing thoughts.

My eyes opened as I was back in the world of the living. Well I was always here but my thoughts clouded my view. Today was a particularly nice morning. The air was cool and brisk as a light breeze flowed through the air. As it did so my hair ruffled slightly. It made me smile.

"What are you smiling at?" A certain white haired half demon said. I looked over at the male catching him in a glimpse of eye contact. We were currently sitting on a tree branch resting in the morning. Well he was laying there, and I was perched over like a fox in a tree, literally. My two tails swayed gently over the edge. My ears sat straight up and slightly pointed forward a bit, a sign that I was indeed happy, along with my tails swaying gently.

"Nothing in particular." I say with a slight smile.

It had been a few days since the fight. My injuries have almost cleared up completely. I heal faster than humans but slower than whole demons. The demon blood in my veins will always be the thing that keeps me kicking more than humans. If it weren’t for that I would have been dead a million times over by this point.

“Where’d the girl go, Inuyasha?” I asked my friend while looking at him. He thought and scoffed a moment later.

“She probably went home! She’s always going home. Oh well, we just have to find the shards and then it’ll be just you and me just as it always was!” The white haired male replied.

Yeah…like it always was. Except it wasn’t how it always was. We have many worries and troubles now. And what's more after him being awoken from the tree, Inuyahsha is much different now. He’s colder than before, and once again love struck, or almost. Part of me seemed upset about the fact that it would never be me. At least I think? I mean why would he, Inuyahsa, the bravest and the one who always persevered albeit his faults, find interest in me? I mean look at me. I’m a frail fox who’s heads over heels for his best friend! Twice I’ve been played for a fool and it certainly won’t be the last probably. Except it’s not his fault! How can he fix it if he doesn’t know my feelings!

I frown and pout almost, causing my ears to droop and my tails to falter. Of course, just when I was enjoying the sun I had to be a downer and get in my head. Why would he even-

“Hey! You okay Ryuu?” 

Suddenly I was broken out of my thoughts by Inuyasha’s concerned voice. His eyes were frowned with care as the golden shine gleamed in the daylight. God, he was gorgeous. And the way his hair flowed with the wind. Ryuu! Uhm Respond to him! Stop fantasizing he’s concerned!

“Oh! Yeah I’m okay Inuyahsa! Sorry just got in my head. Y’know like I always do…” I blush and chuckle out of nervousness simply because of how foolish I am. 

“Well stop that! Ever since we were small I always told ya, just be yourself when you’re with me! You’re fine the way you are, Ryuu! It’s us against the world, so why waste it being something you’re not,” Inuyasha comforted. When he said stuff like this, it was always just to me. At least it seemed the most genuine with me, but that’s because I grew up around him. I mean we are childhood friends and that’s it!
