Inuyasha: Existence!
Chapter 43: Obsidian's Obsession!
A/N: A heads up, both endings will be kind of similar in some ways, but different at the same time. So make sure you choose wisely on which ending you want :D!
Here's Obsidian's ending, with you, Y/N!
I decided not to add the opening this time, instead...it has a different use. You'll see further down ;D
Mind you, the ending theme below once you get to it, is the closest song I could find that relates to this story. Most, but not ALL of it is matching, I thought it was good either way. XD

Faint whispers that seemed to echo through Y/N's mind, occurred. The scene showed her eyes closed, sleeping, but they kept squinting in a continuous manner. Her head turned left and right, sweat began to build up and made beads roll down her forehead; flashing images of nightmares appearing in her dream caused her to snap her alien eyes awake. With haste, she jolted up in bed, yes...a bed. A familiar bed that almost felt foreign to her considering the many days she's spent sleeping in futons. Her fingers felt around on the blanket that covered her, its soft fur was so long that she was able to trace her fingers through them like hair.
Her eyes widened, she was in her bedroom from her own timeline. The familiar color on the walls that was to her liking, a ceiling light with a beige and teal-rimmed shade covering it up, a soft carpet that would put blankets to shame, and curtains that were closed, hiding the window. It was dark inside, but a faint morning glow peeked through the closed curtains that were made with her favorite color on it.
A wardrobe full of various clothing had one of its doors hanging open, while two pairs of shoes sat against its side in a neat line. Assuming it was still open even after she had left to do her parkour routine. The bedroom door was just across from the bed she sat on and it was closed. Posters of her favorite anime littered her walls, movies sat in stacks near her T.V that was on one side of her room, and so much other stuff that fitted the room nicely.
Her breath began to hitch, her eyes widened and her hands started to shake. The very thought of it all being just a terribly long dream started to occur in her mind, but once she saw Obsidian's clawed weapons sitting on top of her wardrobe, she froze. "The-the claws... His claws... I...!" She tried speaking but it was all too much of a shock for her. A tear strayed from her one eye and her mind began to go into shock. I never... Got to.. I never got to explain how I got my power! What the hell?! she mentally exclaimed in confusion and anger, her teeth gritting into view.
Thoughts of Sesshomaru lingered in her mind but something told her that he was no longer around anymore, a gut feeling. Her small cube, the device that held her shrunken futuristic pistols inside, sat on her nightstand to her one side; the phone she had and her headphones, were placed next to her small cube as well. She lifted her hand up and stared at her palm, pondering hard on everything that just happened. Why, why did she send me back to my time so quick?! What was the rush about?! Why couldn't she let me just wake up and see my friends one last time before I went?! Why didn't she let me have some time before leaving?! she added furiously.
Her hand clenched tightly into a fist, angrily puncturing her nails into her skin because of how enraged she was. Her eyes began to glow red from fury, but the only thing that snapped her out of her thoughts was when time had stopped. She knew exactly where the Time corpse was, where else would she appear other than to her side where the most clearing was in her room?
"Y/N... Thank you for defeating that creature," she began, still holding up that stopwatch and staring at her with eyeless sockets. "It will not take long for a reaper to capture its soul..." she finished, then soon continued on by jumping to another subject. "As a reward...for your efforts; I explained everything to your friends after I had sent you back to your time. They were all upset, especially your lover...however, he is no longer with us to this day... Old age got the better of him and he refused to breed with anyone other than you. There was one other person that has never given up on you, though. A specific bat who loved you to pieces, claimed he would wait for you even if he died and went to the afterlife. He refused to take up any bride under his mother's demand and I'm positive... He will tell you how he managed to live until your timeline, the future that came around. He was never heard of again from his allies other than the small group he traveled with in the past, alongside Sesshomaru," she explained and stood there as emotionless as usual, or so she believed. With Y/N being unconscious after growing tired from the fight with Hateshiganai, she never got to witness the emotional change in the Time Corpse's features.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LET ME HAVE A BIT MORE TIME WITH THEM, BEFORE I HAD TO GO?! I WASN'T READY TO LEAVE THEM! I HAD THINGS THAT NEEDED EXPLAINING! I WANTED TO ASK IF-" It finally registered in Y/N's brain, with what the corpse girl said. She was told about Obsidian that wanted to wait for her until the future hit? Her anger never subsided though, it continued to boil despite knowing that Obsidian might just be the last remaining of her little group...
"More time, the more choices to make and the more chances of your timeline changing. Hateshiganai had chances of reawakening if I had not moved you back to your timeline; As I had mentioned before, there was only one path to take, to truly be rid of that threat..." The corpse girl paused and soon continued on. "In your place, Asashi Gota explained everything to your friends and lover about how you gained your power. His perceptive ability provided an explanation all on its own, there was no need for him or anyone else to question me directly," she finished. A long silence wafted through the air and Y/N's eyes looked down at her own covered legs.
I gotta see...where Obsidian is... If he's still around to this day, then I at least want to see how that pervert is doing! Sesshomaru... I'm so sorry...I loved you so much and yet... she mentally began and closed her eyes tightly. Yet, you weren't able to outlive the many centuries until you got up to me! I'm so sorry... I'm sorry... she kept repeating that in her head and she lowered her head closer to her knees. Crying, eyes closed tight, teeth gritted into view; she had every right to cry over someone she loved deeply.
"There is no need to blame yourself for his death. He couldn't live up to the future, however, his old partner has. Obsidian was just as crazy about you as Sesshomaru, would you truly crush his heart when he is the only one left looking for you...? When he devoted himself to you and chose to use a secret method in order to live up into the future, into your timeline...?" The Corpse girl explained and questioned the half-breed alien, causing the young woman to widen her eyes in recognition. Y/N, without hesitance, moved the blanket off of her form and stood up from her bed.
She didn't even bother fixing it back up neatly, she just stood there with a contemplative stare at the floor. "Where...?" she asked, not once averting her dazed looking, mournful eyes from the floor.
"Obsidian...will come to you.. Do keep in mind, when you-" before she got to finish her sentence, Y/N ran to the door and swung it open but something froze her in place. The Time Corpse had her one finger lazily pointing at Y/N's legs, they were grayed-out and immobile... "When you visit the city, you will encounter creatures other than your own... The past events had changed your timeline, so now, all the races co-exist. All the kingdoms had come to an agreement upon having peace with each other. Now all races live together as one. You will find this difficult to grow accustomed to the new changes, but Obsidian without a doubt, will assist you," she explained and let go of Y/N's legs, allowing time to go back to normal on her lower limbs. Y/N stood frozen in the doorway, eyes wide with shock and her fingers tightly clamping onto the frame of the doorway. "I told him the location of your home, so he will most likely come to you on his own..." she added.
Y/N shook in her spot with eagerness and nervousness. Regardless though, she nodded without even looking back behind her at the Corpse girl. "Thank you..." That was all she replied with before exiting her bedroom. The Time Corpse smiled sweetly at Y/N's leave, staring at the empty doorway and a faint giggle escaped her closed dead lips.
She was trying to calm herself down, her heart beat against her rib cage as her alien eyes examined the hallway she strode down. Passing up a bathroom with its door shut, a guest room with its door shut too, and the basement hatch that was on the floor in the corner of the hall. After she reached her kitchen, she saw the front door so she ran for it.
Not once glancing at the living room that was divided by a built-in bar and a windowless opening between the bar and the wall above it. The T.V sat in the living room a few feet away from the couch and arm-chair behind the bar, and wall dividing it. The kitchen had its usual stove, refrigerator, counters, curtains on windows, and a table set.
Once she reached the front door and opened it, she sprinted out of the doorway and shut it on the way out. Looking around, Y/N's mouth dropped when she saw a couple of Yokai flying through the air heading to places; her eyes moved down and viewed her home, everything seemed to be in the same place they were in before she went back in time. She began to walk, smelling the crisp cool air through her lungs and the nature vibe crawling up her skin. Oh, how she missed that feeling... The fresh, clean air because of all of the surrounding trees was one of the reasons why she loved doing parkour in the woods so much.
With one step further, something heavy had just landed a foot away in front of her. She gasped when she noticed it was a giant bat yokai... That male yokai slowly stood up, the scene showing his backside, yet he fully faced her, and his large wings began to gradually fold up. They didn't hook together in front, instead, they just crinkled up against his sides. White, blind eyes were narrowed sharply but its bat mouth was parted slightly, as if...smirking... The large defined muscles on the bat flexed a bit as he stood up to his full 25 foot height.
He was bulky, real beefy and the claws on his fingers extended out a couple inches. His dark red hair had grown out a bit, it reached down to the middle of his back and his bangs somewhat covered his blind open eyes. What was weird, was that he wore a literal tight, black leather, shiny top that exposed the outlining of the muscle on his torso. It was sleeveless, most likely stretchy due to his size.
His black leather pants that had a silver chain connecting to the lip of his pants down to the opposite side pocket. His shoes consisted of black leather combat boots, mostly hidden behind the legs of his pants. Y/N's eyes kept widening more and more, seeing the oddly familiar creature before her. With her one hand lifting up, threatening to control a solar flare, his voice stopped her.
"Y/N...it's me,~" That muscly and mischievous voice that seemed so familiar to her caught her by surprise. He slowly turned back to his cover-up appearance, masking his face with his big hand to prevent her from seeing it morph. When he went down to his human size, going from twenty-five feet and down, Y/N stood there frozen in shock. "Obsidian," he added after lowering his hand.
Wow, that material must've been 'Dragon Ball Z armor' stretchy... Y/N mumbled in her mind and gawked at Obi. "Ob...sidian...? What happened to the others, did they not..." she trailed off in shock then continued. "How did you... I mean..." she kept questioning, pointing her index finger up and down at his frame.
"This is a secret that's only between you and me.~" Obi started and grinned his Sebastian smirk. "Besides..." he paused, dropped his grin and became serious all of a sudden. "The others grew too old... I'm sorry, dearest Y/N," he finished and folded up his wings around his form and hooked them together. "However, with going into centuries of hibernation after my mother refused to let me go without a bride, I chose to wake up when our era met yours in the future.~ My dear, I promised myself that I would never leave you, I would never give up trying to win you over... I don't care how long it takes, I will wait till the ends of this earth for you to fall in love with me in return.~ Until then, I will continue to try and capture your heart,~" he explained, giggled lightly, blushed and lowered his head to allow the shadow to veil over his blind eyes.
Y/N's face went beet-red, just hearing those words about how crazy he really was about her, even going as far as waiting till the ends of the earth for her to fall in love with him, amazed her. She didn't know anyone that would go THAT far to win her over... He knew... Oh he knew since Sesshomaru was no longer around, he could make his move on her as many times as he wants... So, without a second thought or a second for Y/N to actually think, he appeared in front of her.
"W-What are you-" before Y/N could even finish, he embraced her and dipped her down with his arms wrapped around her frame. He lip-locked her, she felt his dark red hair strands brushing her face a bit. She tried to kick him off, thrashed about, but she slowly gave in and clenched a bundle of his hair into her hand after holding onto his head. They stayed like that for a good while until he sat her back up, grinning a goofy smile.
His arms now hidden behind his wings and hearts literally bubbled above his head, he loved her to pieces. She stood there in utter shock, mouth agape and eyes wide with a flushed face. "I... I think I... Need to lay down..." she put a hand to her forehead and aimed to head towards her front door when he grabbed her again. No warning at all, he took to the sky with her in his arms and she squeaked out in surprise. "What are you doing, put me down!" she hollered, only to hear him chuckle at her antics.
"I hardly think that would be wise, my love.~ I want to show you something truly remarkable, something you did for everyone on this planet.~" he cooed, not once did those red cheeks of his fade away. "Close your eyes until we get there,~" he added, held her tighter and she complied.
With her eyes shut and buried into his tight shirt that covered up the fur on his torso, she felt him swerving through the sky and foreign sounds of vehicles and voices met her ears. It took him about five minutes of flying and keeping her eyes shut, but they finally arrived at their destination. "Open your eyes, my dearest!~" he exclaimed from excitement and giggled with glee.
(Here it is, play this song! Play: Dream of netherlands by Nano! This is why I wanted to use this as an opening! :D It's also for this very moment!)
She did exactly that; (Song builds up when her eyes widen!) Her head faced forward and her eyes widened.
As it showed the entirety of the city in her timeline, it showed demons soaring through the sky with their wings or other means of transport. Hovering vehicles flew through the clouds and past skyscrapers, high above the many highways within the city and its many blacktop roads. The scene followed along a couple of elves that ran down the sidewalk laughing with glee and hanging out with their human pals. Children from mages and priests of all kinds, even kids from other races, all played outside in their yards or playgrounds.
Foreign birds that have never been in her timeline before, brushed through the sky and crowed out their cries. They flew alongside the planes that were heading towards airplane landing sights. All in all, it was a lively city and so lived on the co-existence of the races who were going to be killed...by the walking...Armageddon; Thanks to Y/N, the descendant of Princess Mouo, who defeated the creature in a heated battle...to the death.
After it all registered in her head, a happy smile grew on her lips and her eyes watered with emotion. "I... Did this?" she asked in midst of her tears of joy, so happy to know that she brought everyone together in the end.
"Of course, my love,~ If it wasn't for you, then all of the races would have died. You're the heroine that is well remembered throughout history, yet they're unaware of your appearance so there is no need to worry about celebrity fame,~" he explained. He could tell she was crying from joy, her efforts bared fruit and it was a remarkable result. A silent nod came from her and she bit her bottom lip to try and make it stop quivering.
"This means... I get to show you all kinds of stuff, like ANIME!" she exclaimed with a big grin and saw his confused face. That made her quivering lips stop, thankfully. Suddenly, an idea hit her brain and made recognition glimmer in her alien eyes; They were floating up in the sky, high above the city so she could see everything in view, his wings continued to flap all the while. (Song ends here!~) "You know... After thinking about demons, you demons aren't really demons... Your race doesn't exactly worship the devil nor serve him. You guys just seem so similar to humans in many ways, there are good ones and bad ones. Bad ones would stoop so low to the point of doing devilish work, yet the good ones, like yourself...wouldn't do anything like that. So, I don't really think your race are actually demons, more of... A different species like the Ketix or elves; a race of its own with its own variety of creature mixes! Demons are spawns of Satan himself, so wouldn't you be getting controlled, by now?~" She asked with a wink and giggled. "Just because your eyes turn red or you look monstrous in some way, even if you're transforming, that doesn't make you a demon. I mean shit, look at me! I have red eyes when I'm pissed!" she added, laughed and saw his shocked expression.
His lips parted but closed again and smirked, letting light chuckles escape his lips. "So... You believe we are not...demons...? But another species entirely?~" he questioned back in midst of giggling, only to feel her nod in his arms. He smiled, her way of thinking about things was remarkable sometimes. Now, how to convince all the others of his kind of species that they're not demons, would be hard. "You know..." he began and got closer to her face. He nuzzled his nose against hers and she felt his breath brush her red cheeks. "Doesn't that make me less scary or less of a creep, to you? Knowing I'm no demon?~" he questioned and kept snuggling into her personal space around her face.
"I-I never thought you were cre-..." she stopped and pouted, her face now ten shades of red because of how close he was. She averted her alien eyes that sparkled under the sun. When the scene zoomed out on them, he leaned over and locked his lips with hers. It caught her by surprise once more, while a distant eep occurred from her. He wouldn't stop, rather finding her cute sounds of surprise adorable and started chuckling darkly at her from amusement.
From that point on, it would be a little hard to move on from one love to another, trying to keep going forward. She would eventually give into the affections he'd give her and would return his feelings, but it'll be a fight that'd be worth it for him. Those two were going to live a long, happy life. Albeit difficult considering they would have to convince the rest of Obi's yokai race that they're not really Yokai, would be hard... The scene faded to black and Y/N's monologue echoed through the darkness. I'm gonna get so many haters for messing with the anime's aspects like this...and their demons... Author of my story, I hate you... With that, the author of this story simply rolled her eyes and giggled at Y/N.
(Ending theme! Play: Vanquish by Two steps from hell!)
The End!~
The scene comidcally shows random credits scrolling up the screen and pretended it was a movie's ending.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this! I tried my best to make this ending really exciting for my Obsidian lovers xD. Thank you for reading and I'm happy you chose to stick with me on this story till the very end! \o/
