Chapter 2: Lost One
A cold, dark, and damp cave was where Reinu Aimon was sleeping. "Great, just great, another night of shitty sleep. In 2 years of crappy sleep, you'd think I would find a better place to sleep." He rolled over, trying to get comfortable in the most uncomfortable place in the world. "If I had just been a bit smarter when fighting that damn demon, I wouldn't be in this damn place." He rolled onto his back and stared up at the top of the cave. "Nekoi, I miss you...but I know I can never say that to your face. You probably never even shed a tear over me when they told you I was missing. Stupid Nekoi, I was even going to tell you how I felt." A random tear fell from his eye, but he didn't bother to wipe it away.
-Flashback-
"Hey Nekoi." The 17-year old demon princess spun around after she heard her name. "I just wanted to let you know that the Demon Council is sending me away on a mission. So yeah, I'll be gone for a while." A shadow of worry crossed her face, but disappeared as soon as Reinu picked up on it.
"Ok, umm...Reinu?" Nekoi wanted to say something, but she didn't know what. Feelings were pulling at her, begging her to say what she wanted to and get it over with.
"What is it Nekoi?" She bit her lower lip, nibbling on it a little too. "Well, are you going to tell me or do I have to tickle you?" Nekoi rolled her eyes, then quickly scooted back a couple of feet, cause she knew that Reinu would go through with his threat.
"It's just that...I'm going to miss you." Nekoi looked a little hurt, so Reinu moved closer and pulled her into a hug.
"I'll be back, trust me. I would never leave you alone for too long, I couldn't." He hugged Nekoi tighter, and she leaned into him. 'I couldn't leave you alone for too long, cause then you might find someone else...and that would be the death of me. Knowing that you love someone that isn't me. So of course Nekoi, I'll always come back.' He let go of Nekoi, but couldn't brush off this feeling that the next time he saw her, it would be years later and that she would belong to someone else...
"Come back home soon, you don't wanna miss me graduating...do you?" Nekoi smiled at Reinu, and he felt his heartstrings tug at him as said good bye, possibly for the last time.
-End Flashback-
'Yeah, I said those words in my head how long ago?' Reinu knew he would never get any sleep if he kept thinking about Nekoi. 'Dammit Nekoi, how have you survived 2 years without me? Or did you find someone new? Please don't tell me you found someone new.' Reinu got up and walked out into the clear night and sat down. 'It's too damn cold, but I guess I'll get used to it eventually.' He laid down against a patch of moss, tossed and turned a bit, then decided that he wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. 'Well, now what...?' That was the last thing he thought...
(A/N: Ok, I'm doing this story a little differently than planned. I wasn't going to go into Reinu's disappearence, but it is a crucial point in the story I think, so yeah...three different points of view then. I think it'll work out better this way, and I'm also setting up for a potential sequel this way as well. Alright might as well get this over, I don't own Inuyasha...but I do own Nekoi, Reinu and any other OC's I might add.)
