I’ve been rereading @avionvadion’s SesshomaruXOC fanfic Forest Deep during my down time between classes and homework to relax and while reading chapter 36, this realization came to me.
Inuyasha may most resemble Toga, but Sesshomaru’s apparently got some traits too.
binghe fights sqh and he gives no indication at being powerful or with martial ability. he realises his mistake in approach. sqh makes himself small, pathetic, and easy to bully so that he is underestimated and ignored. fighting a PERSON will only increase that. well thats fine. mobei he's gonna toss ur human into a deathmatch against beasts rq ok? u wanna watch? if he gets too out of his depth you can step in he wont stop you but he knows you ALSO want to know what that little THANG is capeable of. nature doc mobei and binghe watching sqh in some demon forest. the wild qinghua, pressured out of its natural habitat. without greater predators to form symbiotic relationships with he must fend for himself. there comes the sunburst scorpion tailed bear goat- we shall soon see how the qinghua- OH HOLY SHIT HE RIPPED ITS HEAD OFF MOBEI YOUR SCRUNKLY RIPPED ITS GODDAMN HEAD OFF
THEYRE TAKING HIM OUT OF HIS NATURAL HABITAT AND SPYING ON HIM OH this is good
The freaking way the Higurashi family contacts you sometime after you managed to get back to your era because of a message Kagome left years ago before she vanished through the well permanently, so you travel to Japan, and while you're in the middle of a conversation two half-demons burst into the house declaring you're their mother.
Time travel shenanigans are rough. Irene is much confused. Maria is both baffled and impressed, because Airi and Towa are very much obviously Irene's children, which means she definitely ends up woo'ing Sesshomaru at some point, but also w h a t.
Sota is just, "Yup. Another day in the life. Welcome to the Higurashi shrine."
Irene is vehemently convinced they have her confused with someone else, because Sesshomaru would never. Especially not with a human. (But he does, eventually, and she's the mom, and she's hitting her head against a tree later upon realizing Airi and Towa weren't mistaken at all.)
