The Dragon's Fate:
Disclaimer: *Looks around from his seat on the ceiling* What the? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT? I don't own Inuyasha.
A/N: I thought I should also mention that I am good at making the overall story line, but can have trouble writing the individual scenes.
Chapter 3: The Explanation
Ryei: "It is nice to meet you all, just call me Ryei."
*As he said this, Ryei pulled down his hood, revealing dark brown hair, which formed downward pointing "spikes" around the sides of his head, he also had a long ponytail that went down to his waist, and at the sides of his head, above each ear there were "tufts" of hair that stuck up in such a way that when you looked at his shadow. It looked like it had little cat ears, but his eyes could not be seen as he kept them closed while he smiled, and half closed afterward.*
Inu: "Feh, Ryei? What kind of a name is that?"
Ryei: "It is a slurring of the words "Ryu", meaning Dragon, and "Rei", which means Thunder."
Mir: "I take it that Ryei is not your original name?"
Ryei: "You are correct. I haven't used my birth name in several months."
*As he says this, he looks down and his cloak ruffles a little and everyone realizes that he must be thinking about his hand, though none of them know what is wrong with it*
*At this point, Sango and Kagome finish preparing the campsite and tell everyone to sit down while the food (some of Kagome's ramen, of course) cooks*
Kag: "Earlier, you said that the shard you have has brought you nothing but pain, what did you mean by that?"
Ryei: "My power and the shards power are too different; they clash within my body, weakening it even as they strengthen it."
Kag: "Oh."
*Kagome and the others discussed Ryei's response among themselves as Ryei himself lay back and looked at the sky, his eyes remaining mostly closed and impossible to see*
Kag: "Foods done, everybody dig in."
*At these words, Ryei sat up and started to reach out with his right hand when Kagome noticed that his arm looked like it had been burned recently but was starting to heal*
Kag: "Oh, your arm, what happened?"
*Ryei glances at his arm and shrugs beneath his cloak*
Ryei: "Hmmmmmmm? Oh, it's nothing; it should be fully healed by morning."
*After saying this, Ryei picked up his cup of ramen and drank it like it was soup, instead of using chopsticks like the others*
Ryei: "That was quite good. I apologize for my manners; I can not use my left hand, so I am unable to use chopsticks, or most other eating utensils."
*Most of the group were confused by the last part of his statement, but Kagome raised an eyebrow at it*
Kag: "So you can't use a fork, knife or spoon?"
Ryei: "Not very well; I'm left handed."
Kag: "You're not from this time, are you?"
*At Kagome's question Ryei raised his left eyebrow and finally opened one eye wide enough for the others to see it, his eye was normal looking and a slightly lighter shade of brown than his hair*
Ryei (With a lightly sad look and hint of a chuckle in his voice): "You are correct. I am not from this time, nor this country. I'm just glad I took Japanese in school."
*At his words, the others, who had been giving Kagome a surprised look for her question, gave him an even more surprised look*
Mir: "Excuse me, but if you are not from this time or land, then how did you get here?
*Ryei slides his left hand out of his cloak and looks down at it, the others also look at it and realized that it was almost entirely made of pink crystal, and they could all see a blood red glow in the center, which is where Kagome sensed the jewel shard to be*
Ryei: "When the Shikon Jewel fractured, an enormous amount of energy was released. The demon within one of the shards awakened and used that energy to create a tear in time and space. When it came out, it buried it self in my hand because it must have sensed a dormant power within me that it wanted. The power within me awoke and tried to expel the shard by reversing the tear, but the shard was already to deeply imbedded in my hand. When the tear reversed, I was also brought through it, and have been here ever since."

Sorry to leave off there, but some suspense can be a GOOD thing. See you later.
