Your POV:
“I dunno, I just have a weird feeling about this one.” Grayson’s fingers were twisting and untwisting the hem of your shirt, his nerves evident as you laid next to him in bed.
“Gray you’re gonna be fine, it’s just like before. You’ve got the van, and you’ve done survival stuff. Everything is gonna work out. I am gonna miss you though,” you gave him a sad smile.
Since you’d started dating, you’d been attached at the hip. You still had an apartment of your own, but if you were honest you needed to just bite the bullet and sell it - you practically lived with the twins, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. But that also meant that this was going to be the first long-ish stretch that you weren’t with each other. 
“It’s just 7 days baby, it’ll go by so fast.” Now he was comforting you, of course. 
“You’re gonna have the best time, I can’t wait to see the video when you get home.” 
“I’d send you pictures, but you know we won’t have our phones,” he sighed, running a finger along your jawline. “Not being able to see this face all week is gonna suck.”
You blushed deep red, warming his fingertips before you pulled away and crawled across the bed.
“Hey, where ya goin’?” Grayson pouted, but you ignored him for a second, going over to the dresser where you kept some of your clothes full time. You reached down, pulling out the little album that you’d been making as a gift for Grayson down the road. You pulled out one of your favorite pictures; from one of the first weeks that you’d been dating, it was the two of you with the LA skyline in the background, with you looking up at him as he smiled. 
“Here, take this with you.” You handed him the photo. “I know E will probably give you shit, but just hide it somewhere. Make sure you bring it back though, that one’s my favorite.”
“I love you,” he responded, but you barely heard it, because at that exact moment Ethan was banging on the door and yelling “GRAY! C’mon it’s time to go!” 
“And i’m going to kill my brother,” he groaned, reaching out and pulling you to him tightly, falling back on the bed. You landed on top of him, and his lips were on yours before you could say anything. He kissed you roughly for a minute, a bit of urgency there as he knew you weren’t going to be able to do this again for a while. Ethan knocked on the door again, and you felt Graysons arms tighten as he rolled over, putting you underneath him
“Go Gray, before he beats the door down,” you teased, pushing gently on his chest.
“I could just stay here with you,” he countered, raising an eyebrow.
“Go,” You giggled, pushing harder.
“Fine, fine,” he grumbled, kissing you again before getting up. “Alright E, I’m coming!” 
You followed him to the door where Ethan was standing in the doorway.
“Finally get him to stop crying and leave?” E asked.
“Oh shut up,” you teased, pushing on his chest so you could get by. He followed you, slinging an arm around your shoulders as you headed out to the van, which you knew was already packed.
You stayed out of the shot as they filmed a little intro explaining what they were doing. Grayson was so much more excited these days in all the videos, but even more so in the ones that had to do with adventures. You watched as the locked their phones in the box they’d used before, storing it under the benches in the van. 
Once the cameras cut, Gray made his way back over to you, wrapping you up in a tight hug.
“I love you. I’m gonna miss you so much,” he murmured into your hair.
“I love you too Gray. Be safe.”
“You too. Call Ricky if you need anything okay? He’ll still have his phone for emergencies.” 
“I’ll see you soon.”
-----------------------------------------------------
Grayson’s POV
His mind was already wandering as he continued driving down the road, already in Arizona. They were headed to Big Bend National Park, with the new challenge of not using their phones for navigation. Ethan was actually a good navigator, so once he got on the right highway it was just a matter of driving through Arizona and Texas, then down to the Mexico border to get to the park. 
“I think all this footage is gonna be sick, and I’m excited to get some star shots once we get to the park,” Ethan said. Gray just nodded along, watching the road.
“You good bro? You’re off, I can feel it.”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just have a pit in my stomach about this whole thing. It’s makin’ me anxious,” Grayson explained, fists tightening on the wheel of the van. Ricky was in the back, sound asleep.
“What about it though? Is it something specific?” Ethan asked.
“I can’t put my finger on it. I just have a weird feeling. I’m sure it’s nothing, I’m just in my head.” 
“Is it Y/N?”
Sometimes, Grayson really hated sharing a mind. And this was one of those times. He stayed silent, which was enough of an answer for Ethan.
“She’s a fully capable person Gray. She’s gonna be fine without you for a few days.” 
“Thanks asshole, I know. Just drop it.” 
“Whatever,” Ethan shrugged, settling down into his chair a bit more, crossing his arms and getting comfy for the long trip ahead. 
And a long trip it was. They made it to the park around 1am, and were amazed at what they saw. Above them was the whole milky way, clear as day. 
They shot a quick clip explaining the main reason they’d come all the way to Big Bend.
“It’s a certified dark zone, which means no one is allowed to have building with lights out here. So theres no light pollution at all, it’s one of the best places in the world to see the stars,” Ethan explained. Grayson wasn’t paying too much attention; instead he was gazing up, and suddenly missing who he wanted beside him more than anything. 
It was going to be a long few days. 
Your POV:
The first four days were alright. You spent your time wandering around the house, enjoying all the space. You sat in Ethan’s comfy chair in the living room while you watched netflix, cuddled up in one of Grayson’s blankets from his bed that you’d dragged with you. It smelled like him, and it was comforting.
When that got boring you’d change into a swim suit, heading out to the pool - you’d given it a good cleaning, which you knew the boys would be thankful for when they got back. You were determined to get more of a tan than Gray by the end of the summer, and if you had any chance at all you needed to get a head start. 
By day five, the boredom was starting to get to you. You wanted to talk to Grayson, see his face, see his smile, hear his laugh. You even resorted to going back and watching a few of your favorite videos of theirs, just to hear his voice. You felt pathetic while you did it, but you also couldn’t really bring yourself to care too much if you were honest. All throughout the day you caught yourself pulling out your phone to text him, but you knew he wouldn’t see them. 
Still, you’d send a message just for fun, knowing he would see them once he got back and was allowed to have his phone. You could just imagine his face when he got back and saw all the little messages you’d left. 
miss youuuuu
hey u should come home now, k thanks
I stole your favorite hoodie and you’re never getting it back oops
im gonna hide all your building stuff, that’s the level of boredom i’m at
this shit sucks 
i love you
I wanna go on the next adventure :(
But as you sent the last one, it sparked an idea. 
You could make your own adventure. Nothing was stopping you, and you had nothing better to do. The weather was nice, and there was supposed to be some good surf coming in.
And so, that was that. You packed up a towel, your wetsuit and some sunscreen, heading out to the car. You decided to take the Bronco, just because it had the surf rack on top. Grayson still wasn’t too keen on anyone driving his car, but he trusted you with it more than Ethan, and you knew he wouldn’t really care.
So you packed up your surfboard, struggling a bit to get it on top of the roof and strapped down - Grayson always made it look so damn easy. But you managed, finally getting in and heading to the beach. The drive was beautiful, as always, but you missed being in the passenger seat with Grayson’s hand on your thigh. 
Damn. These last few days were gonna suck. 
Grayson’s POV:
“I think we’re really getting the hang of this bro. I’m excited. We could do this full time, for real,” Grayson grinned, packing up a few things in the van while Ethan filled up the packs with water. Ricky was filming, so he took the opportunity to explain what was happening.
“So guys, today we’re going on the longest, and most difficult hike in Big Bend. It’s called South Rim, it’s about 14 miles total, but we’re gonna split it up and actually camp about halfway so we can get even cooler views tonight. Now, Ethan and I like to say we’re hikers, but honestly, we kinda suck.”
“Yeah, we uh, we’re not great,” Ethan chimed in. 
“So this should be fun!”
“Oh yeah, great time.” 
“And obviously we don’t have our phones, so we’re gonna have no idea what time it is, we won’t be able to call for help if we get, ya know, mauled by a mountain lion or something.”
“Bro, why would you say that!?” Ethan groaned.
“It’s the truth! Well, I guess Ricky has his phone though, so we’d be alright.”
“My phone hasn’t had service since we got here,” Ricky countered from behind the camera. 
“Oh we are so fucked dude,” Ethan grumbled.
And in all honesty, it put a bit of a pit in Gray’s stomach, knowing he wouldn’t be able to contact anybody if something happened. But he pushed the thought from his mind, moving to help his brother pack up the tent and begin their trek.
Your POV:
The beach wasn’t too crowded, which was a blessing. When you said you liked to surf, it usually meant that you liked to catch 1 wave out of the 50 you tried for. You were a beginner, that was for sure. There were only about 20 people on the entire beach, and a few surfers out on the break, with the lifeguard keeping a close eye on them.
Even if you didn’t feel it, you looked the part in your wetsuit, board tucked under your arm. You snapped a quick picture, sending it to Grayson’s non-existent phone just for kicks.
wish you were here! you’d be laughing at how much I’m gonna suck. love you!
After it sent, you put it away in the waterproof box you’d brought. You made your way over to the lifeguard station, waving up at the man sitting atop the chair.
“Hey, I’m here by myself, do you care if I leave this box here with you?” You asked politely. 
“Yeah that’s fine. Be careful out there,” he responded, not taking his eyes off the water. You put it down by the legs of the chair, jogging towards the water. The ocean was cold when it hit your skin but you adjusted quickly, diving in and heading out to the break. 
And as you predicted, you missed practically every single one you tried to get up on. You hit the water over and over again, your arms sore from pushing up to standing, even if it was to no avail.
You began paddling in after about an hour, accepting defeat, when suddenly you noticed everyone beside you paddling out instead of in. 
The lifeguard’s whistle came too late. By the time you turned around, the wave was already there, towering feet above any that had come prior. 
And you were right in the break.
You’d read about these before. Rouge waves, you remembered. Random waves that come from nowhere, with no apparent cause. You had just enough time to suck in your breath before it crashed directly over your head.
It felt like the inside of a washing machine looked - that was the only way you could describe it. And then you felt something warm on your head, and everything went black.
Grayson’s POV:
It was the morning of day six, and Grayson had never been more ready to get home. The pit in his stomach was a rock now, and he had no explanation for it at all. 
“Bro we’re actually disgusting. Like we need a real shower somewhere, or we’re never gonna get the smell out of this van,” Ethan said. And he was right. After all the hiking and sleeping in the tent, the three of them reeked. 
“We could do a gas station shower, we just gotta map our way there without our phones. I don’t think that breaks the rules, we just aren’t supposed to use technology,” Ricky shrugged.
“Alright sick, we might as well start driving. Gray, you okay?” E asked.
“Yeah. Just don’t feel good,” he mumbled. He kept himself curled up in the back of the van, head resting on the table as Ethan found his way out of the park and towards the nearest town.
Grayson couldn’t figure out what was bothering him so much. He wasn’t dehydrated, he hadn’t eaten anything bad. He should be having the time of his life, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. It was like the time that Ethan had cut his leg open when they were kids; Grayson wasn’t near him, but he just knew. It was exactly that feeling, except Ethan was right there in front of him, perfectly fine. So he just kept his head down, hoping whatever it was would pass.
They found the gas station about 45 minutes later, and the three of them headed in eagerly. Maybe a good warm shower would clear his mind. 
And once he was done, he did feel better. But only slightly. It was getting harder to breathe. He headed out, noticing that Ricky was already in the van and Ethan was waiting outside. 
“Gray, dude you don’t look good. What’s wrong?”
“I think I’m getting sick man. I’ve been sick to my stomach since yesterday, and I feel like I can’t breathe now. Maybe I’ve got a really bad allergy to something out here. I’m sorry man, I’m trying to shake it so I can be up for the video, but I don’t know where it’s coming from.” 
“Guys.” Ricky’s voice was serious, much more serious than normal.
“What’s up?” E asked. 
“I just got service again, and I’ve got 12 missed calls, all from the same number. I don’t recognize it though. LA area code.”
“Call it. Call it now.” Grayson’s answer came before he could even think about it. He felt like he was going to hurl.
Ricky dialed it back quickly, holding the phone up to his ear. The twins climbed in the back, sitting down across from him at the table.
“This is he.” Ricky said. “Um, yeah, yeah he’s right here.”
Grayson’s blood went ice cold when Ricky held the phone out for him.
“It’s for you.”
He felt robotic and he reached out, taking the phone and putting it up to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Hi, is this Mr. Grayson Dolan?” 
“Yes.”
“Hi Grayson. We’re just calling on behalf of Ms. Y/N Y/L/N from King Hospital, you’re listed as her primary emergency contact.”
“Is she alright? What happened?”
“She’s stable right now. We don’t have all of the details, she’s been in and out of consciousness. She was in an accident -”
“Accident?” Grayson’s voice cracked, and Ethan stiffened up beside him. As if it was instinct, he felt his brothers hand on his shoulder, anchoring him just enough that he could listen.
“She was out surfing at Manhattan Beach, the lifeguards said there was a rouge wave. They got her out quickly, but they think she hit her head on some rocks when she went under. She wasn’t breathing when they got to her, but she was stabilized in the ambulance. She told us to call Ricky off her phone when she was conscious because you wouldn’t have your phone. We’ve had her sedated so her brain could rest, but it looks like we’re going to need to take her in for surgery, because we found some deep lacerations on her head and want to check for anymore significant damage.”
“Surgery?” Grayson expected himself to go numb, but he almost had the opposite. He was so overwhelmed that it was crippling. “How soon?”
“As soon as we’re able. She isn’t able to give consent, so we needed to get in contact with you if possible. Are you able to get here quickly?”
“I’m - I’m not in the state, I’m in Texas.”
“Well, a telephone consent will do,” the nurse said.
“Oh. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I consent. Do what you need to, please just be careful.” It was dumb thing to say, he knew that, but he couldn’t help himself. 
“Thank you Mr. Dolan, we will. And we’ll keep you updated. Should we call at this number, or the one you have listed?” 
“The one I have listed is fine, I have it now.” 
Ethan knew exactly what that meant and was immediately scrambling to find the box with their phones while Ricky got the key ready off his keychain. 
“Alright, speak soon Mr. Dolan.” 
And with that she hung up the phone.
“I’m gonna be sick,” were the only words that Grayson could manage as he crawled to the back of the van and hurled over the bumper. Ethan followed him, holding onto his shoulders and trying to stabilize him so he didn’t fall out.
“What do we need to do Gray?”
“Drive. We need to get home, now.”
Without further questions, Ricky climbed into the drivers seat as they closed up the back of the van, immediately heading in the direction of California. 
When Gray finally managed to get enough air in his lungs, he was able to look up at Ethan, who was sitting opposite of him. 
“Y/N’s hurt. I think it’s pretty bad.”
“Tell me what happened.” 
And so he did, to the best of his ability. He didn’t have very much information, which was the hard part. But he told his brother everything that the nurse did.
“Well, if she was with it enough to give them Ricky’s number instead of yours, that’s good. That means she was alright when they got her in the ambulance.”
“Right. I wonder if she tried to call me.” The thought made his stomach tighten.
“Your phone was dead, it’s charging up front right now. Either way, we’re headed back as quick as we can.” 
Grayson noted that the van was moving quite quickly - Ricky was definitely speeding, but he didn’t care. 
“E.”
“I know Gray. I’m scared too. But she’s gonna be alright. She has to be.” 
She’s gonna be alright
She’s gonna be alright
He repeated the words over and over again in his head, sometimes mumbling them aloud. A few minutes later, his phone was charged. Ethan climbed to the front to get it. Without having to ask, Ethan knew that Grayson wanted him to screen his texts, just to see. And he could tell there were texts from her just by his face.
“E. If she text me about all this and I didn’t answer, I’m gonna lose my fucking mind.” 
“She wouldn’t have been able to, she didn’t take her phone in the water. These are all from before.” 
He held out his hand.
Looking at the texts was his undoing. He could hear her voice, clear as day in his head as he read them, making it all the much harder. He began to sob, uncontrollable ragged sounds. Ethan put an arm around his shoulder in silent support, as he often did. And Ricky continued down the road.
------------------------
It was the longest 15 hours of his life. They’d checked to make sure it wasn’t quicker to stop in Phoenix and put Grayson on a flight - driving straight through was faster. But god it felt like it was taking years. He held the picture he had of him and Y/N in his hand, but he couldn’t look at it for too long without losing it. 
Ethan was driving now, with Grayson in the passenger seat - he hadn’t been forced to take a turn, everyone knew he was in no shape to drive. 
Everyone in the car was on edge, which meant they all jumped practically to the ceiling when Grayson’s phone rang. He answered on the first ring.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Dolan?” It was a different voice this time.
“Yes.”
“Hi, this is Y/N’s surgeon, just calling with an update. Y/N is out of surgery, and she did great! No complications, and the damage seems pretty minimal, though we’ll have to see once she wakes up.” 
He took his first real breath in the last 15 hours. 
“That’s great news. Thank you.”
“So she’s in recovery right now, but she’s gonna be unconscious for the next 30 minutes or so. Should we be expecting you?”
“Yeah, yeah I’m headed there right now, I should be there in about 25 minutes according to my GPS.”
“Alright perfect. Well, she’s in room 828 on the post op wing when you get here, just sign in at the desk and we’ll bring you up. We’ll take good care of her.”
“Thank you so much doctor.”
“She’s alright. Out of surgery, should be waking up soon,” he explained as soon as he hung up. The relief was obvious, especially for Ethan. Gray had been so caught up in his own worry that he’d forgotten how worried Ethan must be - Y/N was practically his sister. Grayson watched as his brother pressed just a tiny bit more on the gas, racing towards the hospital.
When they arrived, Grayson couldn’t get out of the van fast enough. He bolted for the entrance, with Ethan in tow. Ricky stayed in the car out of privacy, offering to get them anything they needed. 
They went through the motions of check in - something they were all too familiar with - and Grayson followed the nurse up to the post op floor, where he was transferred over to the nurse that had initially called him. 
“She’s starting to stir just a bit. Just to prepare you, we aren’t sure how confused she’s going to be when she wakes up. With the mixture of anesthesia and her concussion, she may be very out of it. Just be patient with her, she should come around to her normal self within the next few hours. She’s right through here.” The nurse stopped outside the door, opening the door with a gentle push. 
“You wanna go alone, or do you want me with you?” Ethan asked, hesitating.
“With me.” He didn’t have to think about it. 
Grayson went in first, and if Ethan hadn’t been behind him, he probably would have fallen to his knees. Y/N was in the hospital bed, gown over her still form, her head partially wrapped in gauze. She had oxygen tubes in her nose and was breathing deeply, laying flat on her back, eyes closed. Just the image of her in the whole hospital garb was enough to bring tears to his eyes. He hated it more than he could have imagined. 
Once he was stable enough on his feet, Grayson headed to her bedside. As he got closer, she started to stir a bit, fingers twitching as he sat down as gently as he could on the side of her bed. It was as if she knew he was there already, even though he hadn’t said a word or touched her at all. 
“Mmmmmm.” She started to make a noise, her dry lips parting.
“Baby?” Grayson leaned forward, taking her hand in his, careful not to move her IV. 
“Mmm- mad.” She mumbled, eyes still closed.
“Mad?” He looked back at Ethan for clarification, but he just nodded. Grayson raised a hand up to cup her cheek, and she smiled, resting her head in his palm. He revealed in the feeling, taking it in. 
“Bronco.” This time, her word was clear, though it didn’t make anymore sense. 
“Baby. Y/N, can you open your eyes sweetheart?” Grayson coaxed, rubbing his thumb along her cheekbone. 
“Tryin’. It’s heavy,” she said, scrunching her eyebrows. He could tell she was really doing her best, which made his heart squeeze a bit tighter. When she finally managed to lift her eyelids, he could tell she was exhausted. 
“You’s gonna be mad at me,” was the first sentence she managed to string together, though all her words were drawn out and slightly garbled. 
“Why would I be mad at you baby?”
“I drove the bronco, left it at the beach. Probs some homeless guy living in it,” she said, resting all the weight of her head onto his hand. 
“It’s okay. I really couldn’t care less about the car right now.”
“Don’t say that, Ethan will be big sad.” She gasped then, sitting upright a little more. “Ethan! Hi buddy!” She had just noticed him at the end of the bed. She blinked hard, like she was trying to bring him into focus.
“Hey girly, how yah feelin?” 
“Got a cracked skull, but i’ms okay. But guess what?”
“What?” He asked.
“Still smarter than youuuuu,” she shrugged, and Grayson couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
She really was back to normal.
“You want me to go get the car?” Ethan asked, sitting on the opposite side of her bed and for once, choosing not to throw a comeback. He really had been worried.
“I don’t have keys. Or my phone. I left em with the lifeguard,” she pouted, her lip curling down. If it wasn’t so pitiful, he would have found it adorable. 
“It’s okay, we’ll figure it out. Don’t worry about it,” Grayson reassured her, leaning forward to press a kiss to her forehead. 
The nurse came in then to check on her. Ethan moved out of her way, and Grayson was about to move away, but Y/N grabbed his hand, using all her strength to hold him there.
“Don’t go,” she whimpered, and he swore he could feel a piece of his heart crack.
“I’m right here, just getting out of the nurses way,” he promised, kissing her hand and standing next to the bed.
“You guys are fine, I’ll let you know if you’re somewhere I need to be,” the nurse smiled. “How’re you feeling Y/N?” 
“Sore, but okay.”
“Well, you’re a trooper. I’ve never seen anyone come out of anesthesia so clear headed before. Now, you might get confused in a little while, but that’s just the concussion, and it’ll pass, okay? Just gotta give it time. You just rest and give your body some time to heal. You should be ready to rock and roll out of here in the next few days, okay?” 
“M’kay. Is my phone lost forever?” She asked.
“Actually the lifeguard that pulled you out dropped off your box with your things earlier. It’s over there with your other belongings.” 
Grayson made a mental note to find that guy and thank him profusely in the future. Ethan went over to the personal items bag, bringing it over to the bed. Y/N started to rummage through it, pulling things out one by one. 
When she got her wetsuit out - which took some effort - she frowned, running her finger over the new cut that Grayson assumed was made by the paramedics. He tried as hard as he could to not picture what the ambulance looked like when that cut was made.
“They cut it,” she pouted. “That was my favorite one.”
“I’ll buy you a new one,” Grayson reassured her. 
“M’kay,” she mumbled, satisfied. She cuddled down a little bit into her pillow, obviously exhausted. Grayson continued going through the bag, getting the keys and her phone out of the box. 
“I’m gonna get the car before it gets towed. Give you all a minute,” Ethan said quietly, having a hand out for the keys.
“Thanks bro. I’ll keep you updated.” 
He was extremely grateful, but he couldn’t find the words. He hoped Ethan knew.
“Gray,” Y/N said quietly. 
“Hey baby, I’m right here.” 
“M’tired,” she murmured, holding a hand out. “Can we sleep?” 
“You can sleep sweetheart,” Grayson reassured her. 
“C’mere. Come up here,” she said, patting the bed next to her. 
Grayson obliged, sliding his arms under her knees and behind her back, scooting her over just enough so that he could slide into the bed beside her. 
“Much better. I missed you. Maybe don’t go for so long next time,” she said, curling up against him and getting as close as she could.
“Don’t worry. I’m not leaving you for a long, long time.”
“Sounds good to me,” she mumbled, but she was already falling asleep before the end of the sentence. So Grayson held her close to him, relishing in the feeling and lulling off to sleep.

Shelter- 4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
....I don’t know if I can answer this HAHAHAHAHAA! This story is just... it’s so big. Honestly?? I think at the very beginning when they first met when Kag is trying to soothe Inu but Inu is being an idiot (but to be fair, a smarter idiot).
I felt like even with them just meeting it was just so them. So in character. So AH! I know it’s long but you made me choose
Also I won’t add a spoiler bar because this is literally the very beginning of the story
Inuyasha awoke feeling groggy. Something was wrong… he didn’t even remember falling asleep. The last thing he remembered it was the new moon--his night of vulnerability. His eyes felt extremely heavy; he must’ve fucked up. Miscalculated. There must’ve been a danger he hadn’t smelled or sensed before he lost his demonic abilities.
Fuck. His body hurt. The question had morphed from what happened to where was he? How was he alive? And why? He listened quietly and heard the pitter patter of rain--likely bouncing off of a roof. He smelled like he was in an enclosed hut. It was old--stagnant. Obviously, it hadn’t been used in awhile. But he wasn’t alone. There was a strong smell of lavender, honey, and jasmine flowers… it was alluring. Intoxicating. But it also scared the shit outta him. He also smelled a lot of blood. Not just his. Probably not just who he shared this little hut with either.
He sat up quickly and groaned from his stupidity. “Fuck…”
“Oh, you’re awake. You need to lie still,” he heard a soft melodic whisper from across the room. He turned to see a young woman in priestess garbs leaning against the wall of the hut he was currently in. He sensed her power and shit--he was about to fucking die. Or fry. Something. He gasped and clutched his gut as he tried to turn and run but his legs failed him.
Her sigh and shuffling made him panic until he heard her whimper. He looked over to her to see she also was grasping her own torso as she scooted towards him. She was pale. Sweating. She… didn’t look good.
“Stop,” he tried to sound threatening. It must’ve worked or she was where she had tried to get to. Water dripping from a bucket made him turn his head and see she was much closer. She grimaced and winced again as she shifted onto her knees and pressed a calming hand on his chest. She wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled softly--weakly.
“It’s okay… I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Get off me,” he said, grabbing her hands and pushing her away slightly. He hadn’t expected her to fall to the floor of the hut and cry out. Shit. He was an asshole. He noticed an overwhelming scent of blood--hers. Shifting he took her in and saw how dirty she was now that she was close enough. She was covered in demon blood--along with his and her own.
She rolled over onto her back and glared at him, “You--asshole! That’s not a way to thank someone for helping you!”
“Never asked for your help,” he shot back. “I told you to stop.”
“I thought you were just scared and confused! Not that you’d throw me!”
“I didn’t throw you, I shoved and you’re just weak.”
“Whatever,” she scoffed and rolled over to her side. She was whimpering as she pushed herself to get up and then made her way back to the wall.
He took the opportunity to see she had bandaged him--”Where are my clothes??”
“Your kosode is ruined but your haori is over there,” she gestured behind him. He wasn’t surprised. Only his kimono made from the fur of the fire rat could withstand damage. Standing uneasily, she remained quiet this time as he began to dress.
“Alright, I’m out of here.”
“I wouldn’t if I were you,” she said leadingly. He glanced back and saw a smug little sparkle in her bright sapphire eyes. He looked to the door and saw her barrier erected around the hut and grew angrier.
“Why the hell not? I’m not staying here with you, you weak ass priestess! You couldn’t even slay me!”
“Why would I want to hurt you?”
“Are you fucking blind??! I’m a demon!!”
“Half.”
“Shut up! Anyway--so you’re a dark priestess then?? Ya wanna make a deal? I don’t really do that kind of shit so you might as well lower your barrier. I’m leaving whether I have to kill you or get zapped.”
“There’s a rather large horde of demons past my barrier. It’s there to protect us… until we heal.”
“Don’t lie.”
“Smell for yourself,” she flicked her wrist and a tiny hole opened and he got a good whiff. Fuck. He’d die the minute he stepped out. There’d be no way he would make it past them.
“Damnit!” he yelled as he punched a hole through the hut. “Why didn’t you kill them, huh?? God, you’re fucking useless!”
“For your information, I was a little busy saving you,” she said in a huff. “For someone who had their life saved on such a time of weakness, you sure are ungrateful.”
“I should just fucking kill you now, bitch. But I need your fucking barrier.”
“Oh goody,” she sighed leaning her head back against the wall and closing her eyes. “Don’t worry. I’ll be out of your hair soon enough.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he snarled. She was planning to kill him after all! Fuck!
“I may be a priestess but I’m still human. I’ve lost a lot of blood, been using my reiki for three days straight, haven’t eaten anything, oh, and, probably have slept for maybe six hours total,” she said with a heavy groan at the end clutching her abdomen. Okay, he felt like a dick. But he was only protecting himself.
“Why haven’t you been taking care of yourself? You’re of age to be independent. How the hell have you lived so long if you’re this dumb?”
“Gods! I’ve been taking care of you, stupid!!!” She yelled at him with tears in her eyes. “Gods just shut up! I’m sorry I saved you! Obviously I messed up--you clearly were trying to commit suicide. Don’t worry, in a couple hours, I’ll probably be dead anyway, my barrier will fail and they’ll eat us both!”
“Shut up! That’s not what I meant!” Inuyasha kneeled down at her feet, still not willing to get too close to her but she wasn’t going to be able to reach out in her state at that moment.
“Oh??? Want me to use myself as bait so you can escape??? Lessen the guilt so you won’t have to watch me die?? Prefer to think I just waltzed right out of here rather than succumbing to my injuries!!?”
“No! Fuck! Stop fucking talking!!”
“No really!! Tell me what it is you want! What do you need?? I live to fucking serve!!”
He finally lost his temper and slapped his hand over her mouth and glared into her wide eyes, “Shut. Up. Look, I overreacted. I didn’t remember what happened--still don't--I thought you were trying to kill me like every-fucking-one else--and I admit, I’m a jackass.”
She just continued to glare at him and then she did the craziest thing he had EVER had happen to him. She. LICKED. Him. What. In. The. Fuck!??!?!
“Ugh!!!” he yelled and pulled his hand away like it was on fire. “You--you--youuuuu---WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!? YOU LICKED ME!!!”
“Jeez, you’re acting like I just shot you with an arrow,” she mocked rolling her eyes.
“You’re--you’re so fucking weird!! Are you even a priestess?!!?”
“Uhm, duh?”
“Don’t you know demons are inherently evil?? That as a priestess, we are naturally enemies?!" He felt like he was going to explode from rage that was driven by confusion. This woman hadn't tried to attack him yet. No matter how much he cursed her, poked and prodded her, insulted her-- she just took it. Rolling her eyes. Like she knew him.
"Yes-- I'm aware we are 'supposed' to be enemies. I just don't believe in that notion. Not all demons are bad. You exist because a human and demon obviously loved each other to make you. I have demon friends that I care for, well, cared for." She sighed and took a ragged breath. "Look, I don't want to spend what could be my last hours arguing. I accept your lame apology. I forgive you."
"You--you what???"
"You’ve obviously had a rough life to be so callous. I'm just sorry we couldn't have become friends," she added as her shoulders relaxed somewhat.
"Oh fuck no! You're not gonna fucking die on me!"
"Haha, are you a demon of the underworld that can prevent that? I'm also not dying yet. Just resting." Her demeanor didn't convince him.
"No, but I can heal you."
That made her eyes open again. "Hm? How?"
"I don't like owing favors and I unfortunately think I owe you a lot… my uhm… " Well shit. How was he gonna tell her? He doubted she'd accept help. She seemed to have about as much pride as he did. She wouldn't sully herself to be healed...
"How about while I rest, you think of a way to tell me of your little 'secret'," she said as gruffly as a kitten. She was pretty weak, he probably shouldn't let her sleep. If she did, he wasn't sure she'd wake back up.
"No."
When she didn't respond he slightly panicked and reached out and touched her to rouse her. Even though he shouldn't care, she rescued him and likely gave her own life for his.
"Hey! You cannot sleep!! Bitch, wake up!!"
"Ugh, I liked you better sleeping. I at least could imagine you being nicer."
He let out a breath he hadn’t known he had been holding and clipped, "Regret saving a half breed already?"
"No."
He blinked. Twice. Three times. She opened her glazed over ocean eyes and locked with his, "Why do you assume I'd regret giving my life for yours?"
"I can run off twenty reasons right now."
"Mmmm… I'd prefer not to hear any until after you let me nap. Next time you stir me I may make you regret giving me the idea of zapping you," she smirked weakly before letting her eyes shut again.
"You better just be sleeping," he grumbled.
"Don't worry. I'll see your handsome smirk again," she slurred, finally succumbing to sleep.
Sputtering and blushing from her words he got up quickly and exited the hut. Fuck. She was crazy. All he could do was equate her insanity to her exhaustion, blood loss, and hunger. Yep. That made the most sense. Finally calming his racing heart, he noticed the barrier wasn't just around the hut; it seemed to stretch out into the forest. Maybe he could find something to eat… rebuild their strength. Would animals be able to enter the barrier? How was the barrier able to even be maintained this long? How was this woman so powerful?
I just feel like it really ahhhhhhhh!!!! LOL Thanks for the ask @superpixie42!!!!!!!!!

i'd love to hear your thoughts on sam too!
thank youuuuu also sorry in advance this is gonna get so long--
(edit: also sorry about the formatting tumblr said fuck this post in particular)
How I feel about this character
sam is one of my most favorite characters of all time. the first time i watched spn i was an unapologetic dean girl (gnt) but now i am FULL sam girl (gnt.) This is a character who is told that the world is a dark and dangerous place and that no matter how hard he tries he’s going to become one of the monsters that inhabits it and makes it worse. he’s raised on the leash held by his father and in the shadow of his brother (a shadow that protected him) and he just wants to be able to love them both but they won’t let him. he wants to be able to love and nothing will let him!!! He wants to be able to experience the world in a way that isn’t blood and gunsmoke and pain and he just wants so desperately that he’s willing to rip himself away from what little he’s known to do it.
and the thing is, the world proves him right! he IS a monster. he lets the devil free, the people he loves die endlessly, he chooses a demon over his brother, he allows himself to become demonic for the sake of revenge, because that endless love he has was twisted against the world he wanted to love and used to wound it. and the fact is - it WAS his decision. it’s a decision he has to live with forever and deal with the consquences of. the world proves him right - zachariah’s voicemail, dean telling him to pick a hemisphere, the angels using dean to warn him off his demon blood path, the murder of an innocent woman to kill lilith (cindy I think) - those are all monstrous things.
and sam, after all that - when he realizes what his love has been used for, the hurt and irreversible damage its caused, he takes it back for himself. he realizes he was wrong, and he - the boy who wanted nothing more than to love the world and be loved by it in return - offers up his love to that same dark horrible world that he ruined further. and he does it with no expectations, just determination to make it right. that love overpowers the devil and destiny and the writing of god himself. the same way cas’s love for dean overwrote chuck’s writings in 4x22, sam’s endless love and belief that the world is worth fighting for averts the apocalypse.
this is a man who ruined the world, and willingly; and this is a man who saw what he did and ruined himself, wilingly, endlessly, because he believed in fixing his mistakes. because he believed there was still love and good in the world that tried to kill him over and over. because sam winchester wants nothing but to be free to love anything and everything, and to have even a sliver of that love returned to him.
basically: i love him. i love him so much. sam winchester THE character of all time for me. (him and ned chicane and merle highchurch but that’s another thing-)
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Eileen the love of my life Eileen Leahy!!! She’s badass and understanding and CHOSE to love Sam, and that’s truly what he needed and wanted more than anything else. She’s just - KAJDFNSKAJF i love eileen so so SO much and I think she and her wife Sam Leahy are head over heels in love. They love learning from each other and teaching each other and defending each other with the full knowledge that they can cover their own ass totally fine but that’s not the point the point is that they want to show their love and in their lifestyle this is a good way to do so. I think Sam is absolutely utterly disgustingly in love with Eileen and they want to constantly make that clear to the world and I think Eileen is completely wholly sickeningly in love with Sam and wants to make that clear to Sam. I think they’re neat and I think they’re perfect and I think they’re in love and I love them
Rowena - I haven’t seen a single episode with Rowena but i adore her energy and I think Sam being a sucker for the 600-yr-old queen of hell Rowena MacLeod is INCREDIBLE. Sam sees an incredibly powerful woman with knowledge and experiences beyond his understanding and says ‘is anyone gonna fall in love with her’ and doesn’t wait for an answer.
Gabriel! From the first time I saw Tall Tales I crackshipped him and sam, fun fact. I think there’s a LOT of complexity and nuance to any potential relationship of theirs (which is further complicated by any potential s-13 sabriel bait you wanna incorporate into your own personal good version (i haven’t seen it yet but love and light to y’all)) but I ALSO think too many people lose Gabriel’s characterization in order to make him palatable to Sam. And like no that’s not the point the POINT is they’re enemies-with-instant-tension to lovers! This is the ‘hedonist meets repressed man and they are instantly attracted but also hate each other and have to navigate that’ dynamic that I so rarely see done properly. However the MOST important part of Sabriel for me (as with any ship) is that it’s fun and DOES have a lot of cute potential. (Hedonistic-hugger Gabriel with touchstarved Sam my BELOVED)
Also Sabrieleena is fantastic I am a poly truther for a lot of things
Sarah Blake my first gay crush Sarah Blake... she deserved better and also she and Sam would have been a fantastic wlw relationship
I’m sure there’s more but I’ve forgotten them because it’s been ages since I saw past s5 and I frankly don’t remember much after the beginning of s6!
My non-romantic OTP for this character
I think he and Cas should have been best friends more. Also I *DO* wish we’d gotten a better Sam&Crowley dynamic but alas j*rpad couldn’t step up to the plate :/// fuckin coward
My unpopular opinion about this character
I’m both a Tall!Sam truther and a Tiny!Sam truther... I don’t think either of these concepts are unpopular but idk anyone else who loves them both like i do. Then again I also don’t know many people in spndom sfkjnjkfjaks
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO SEE SAM HAVING A HORRIBLE BREAKDOWN AT SOME POINT. I HAVE OPINIONS ON WHEN AND WHERE BUT THIS MAN MADE OF LOVE FEELS EMOTIONAL PAIN SO HARD AND WHEN THE LOVE HE’S FILLED WITH IS TURNED AGAINST HIM I SIMPLY THINK HE WOULD HAVE LOST IT.
this is technically not him butttt I wish Max Miller had lived so he and Sam could have been best friends (I have s1e14 Nightmare derangement syndrome)
ok i know this said ONE thing but also like you said and like i said in the tags of your response for sam. HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS POWERS.
(send me a character and I’ll break their asses down)

Ufff alrighty I finished listening to tma 187, get ready for some rambly thoughts!
So um. First of all i'm really mad that i accidantly spoiled myself that helen was going to die in this ep...tho at the same time its really funny bc the expact same thing happend to me with tma 101 ahsbkashbx
Admitedly I was really afraid. Like it or not i've grown attached to helen and even tho i knew it'll very likely happend, its still pretty hard to let go u know? (plus she's been one of the only mood-cheering things about this season, god now its gonna be a terribly sad nightmare isn't it)
Even tho after thinking about it it makes sense, the fact that helen didn't actually have any big plan was pretty suprising for me. With the way she was acting with jon and martin, i thought what could happend is she would take advantage of martins trust and take him hostage, threating jon to kill him if he doesnt do what she wants (now that i think about it, my idea didn't make that much sense, and again, not really having a plan is much more in-character for the distortion). I thought this would result in an epic tm confrontation between jon and helen, and that it would end in a satysfing way. THAT is honestly what i wanted the most- if she was going to die, then it should be a satyafing conclusion to her character as a whole, considering how she became a pretty important part of the story.
...now, am i satysfied? i wasn't 100% sure at first, but i think yes, and the main reason is that she was killed by basically being tricked to lie. I was really hoping that that would be the case, cuz come one, a monster that twists the truth and hides it under illusions being manipulated themselfs, esentially getting the taste of their own medecine? god lord that is so. fucking. good!!!
Now, ngl, i will very much miss helen (not like i was simping for her or anything 😳) - both her and michael were fascinating and just plain fun characters i could talk about for hours, and i've grown attached to her, basically selling the point of her being an awfull manipulator even more huh? xd
Ontro some other stuff, tho this will be brief:
- Jons and Helens chemistry was always one of my favorites tbh, and them just. passive-agressively talking was a Joy to listen to
- Jons reaction to the victim touching him really hurts when you realise how much touch-based trauma, or heck, trauma in generall this man has faced (also helen immidietly calling him a monster for that? fuck youuuuu)
- Gotta love the sound design of this ep, like My god. Helens voice going from being near, to seemingly comming from everywhere to even sounding like its on a radio?? Fucking hell that's good!! Also just the creeks and shifts of the hotel, the music and the laughter...*chefs kiss*
- The image of the whole hell hotel crumbling once helen is killed is So Cool and i'm kinda hopeing someone will animate it someday
- Lol also Martin basically accidantly skipping all this for some lonely self-care time? good for him honestly
That is mostly it i think... if theres one thing im not the fan of is. the kinda random-feeling part of og helen turning out to be conservative?? like, i get it, it proves the point that we never even knew her much i could've hated her if we did, but also ahhhh helen u dissapointed me here >:-(
all in all...rip to helen And the distortion as a whole...you were a rlly important character and a really fun and interesting on at that, go have fun in the monster hell 🙏

WWR
Ok so maybe I shouldn’t call this Weekly Wednesday Reflections anymore since I’m terrible at writing it in time 🤷🏻‍♀️ granted it is Wednesday...just a week late 😅
I’m pretty sure this is my new favorite Ellick episode. After rewatching it, I’m just so- happy with it. From exploring Ellie’s range of emotions and character depth to the progress we saw in their relationship just 🥰
The opening scene already gives us SO MUCH. First, they jog as the cutest freaking married couple I’ve ever seen and this certainly is a routine because they knew to target him here. But Nick teasing her by sprinting, her struggling to keep up but giggling with each other because clearly it’s not the first time he does that little speed up thing & she’s working on getting faster because she used to hate training for marathons like- can you NOT. My heart can’t take the implications, ALSO Gibbs & McGee didn’t bat an eye that they just so happened to be jogging together in the early morning (everyone was only just leaving their house on their morning commute) so they know it’s their routine too and don’t even question it. GAH.
Flashforward to hospital scene with Ellie breaking my heart slowly. She’s clearly been crying by the red rimmed eyes, and yet also trying to hold it together to be strong for Nick & so she does the only thing she knows how to do since feelings scare her and the love of her life Nick just got hit. Ellie’s logical brain takes over as she does best (see 16x18 for reference) - when she’s dealing with emotions, all she can do is her job, it’s all that makes sense in the monsoon of feelings. She’s going to analyze every last bit of the hit & run and immediately parrot it back so that *something* can be done right away and she can find justice for Nick. She doesn’t care about her own health- just justice for Nick. And in that same vein, she doesn’t want to eat, she doesn’t want to rest, she doesn’t want to sit down until she knows Nick is okay (I’m sorry but to have a CODE NAME from the nurses because they feel the need to run from you- can you say “Crazy Worried Wife™️”??)
Kasie is our new captain, it has been decided. (I think this was already decided but I’m making an official decree) Her probing McGee to see his reaction because girl knows why Bishop is taking it harder, please. Then laughing it off for McGee, “we all gon need therapy if those two ever hook up” while thinking *boy you better stop denying because you KNOW they hooking up after this shit* is just 🙌🏼 the outright addressing of Ellick by the show- thank youuuuu.
Ok and now begins the Ellie show. Excuse me, the BADASS BISHOP SHOW. (Also why I’m partial to this being my fave ep). First- girl does not know how to holster her gun. Ellie: “you say there’s a tiny lead” *cocks gun* “let’s go” I’m herrrrrre for it. She’s blunt with everyone, she doesn’t care when Gibbs gives her the look, she don’t take no SHIT in interrogation. “You’d have to be [creative]” had me cry-ing 😭😭😭 AND THEN her equivalent of cursing out Vance over Nick, followed up by freaking out in the bullpen had me breaking on my couch. YES ELLIE GET IT is what I believe I chanted. The stare off, oh lordy. Y’all I was sweating I was pissed for her. Just the raw emotion in her eyes, the constant holding back tears and tears I just- 😭💔 and emojis don’t do it justice. I wanted soooo bad for her to land a sweet, sweet punch like she did with Victor, but knowing a second offense unprovoked wouldn’t go over too well, she held back. But aaaahh that scene was SO heartbreaking. And then, and THEN Ellie standing there gazing at his desk- oof. Her body language was key- her crossed arms, holding herself literally together so she doesn’t break?? She wants to break, y’all. She wants to break. Staying strong for Nick is the only thing getting her through.
When Gibbs sends her to be at the hospital because THE WHOLE DAMN TEAM KNOWS, I did a happy dance. McGee encouraging her but almost pulse-checking Gibbs after was very very intriguing. Gibbs’ “He’s a fighter” followed by McGee’s pulse-check, “so is Bishop...” and Gibbs’ exasperated look off towards the elevator and admission of agreement says SO MUCH. First- McGee is worried about not only Nick, but his sister, Ellie. He knows how much Qasim’s death hurt her, knows what she went through after- WHICH TIME OUT. For anyone saying this episode was OOC for Ellie? Sit the hell down and go watch 14x16. Then come back. Then continue reading. Ok resume WWR- McGee also knows how much more Torres means to her, he may try to deny it, but he knows. Implying Bishop is a fighter, obviously not about her health because *she’s fine* but more about what she’d do out of revenge. (And the man doesn’t even know Bishop is about to say she’s gonna kill him) Gibbs’ already sees himself a little in her, recognizing the same feeling he experienced with Shannon many years ago- hence the completive look on his face & heavy sigh. He knows he’ll have to revisit Rule 12 soon (but also in his mind he’s basically already burned it like Rule 10).
Speaking of Ellie saying she’s going to kill him, please see this excerpt from my notes during the ep: “FUCK YES BISHOP - the emotions!!!!!!!” That basically sums up how I felt the entire scene & commercial break afterward 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂 My reaction when it came back? KILL HIM. But like in all seriousness, her face- holy shit going from on the verge of tears when they rolled Nick away to calculating her next move as McGee’s talking to her to making up her mind that she will be committing murder (please, girl already planned it & is just deciding which lipstick to wear during it at this point). Emily Wickersham is an amazing actress and I don’t care what you have to say. And yes, McGee trying to calm her down in a big brother way is adorable, but Ellie not having it is great. “Torres doesn’t get a say” is such a Nick thing to do of her 😭 Remember Luis going off on his own, yeah- this is Ellie’s version because she wants to & her husband is rubbing off on her. Oh also, the office she refers to? Totally means Ziva’s office at Odette’s - “if we missed something, I’ll find it there.” Hmmmm sounds eerily similar to *why* Ziva had that office in the first place, doesn’t it 🤔 also explains the lack of her on HQ’s logs and her “going home” excuse— which by the way, her shrugging them all off? Suspect Bishop, suspect. Her trying to play it all off with a wry laugh, not gonna lie, I love it. Her “too late” to Gibbs is quite interesting though- she sees herself going down that path any way, because she killed him? Or because she triggered a chain of events that will lead to it? Or because she may not have killed him, but lord knows she wanted to & planned it down to every last detail? Like I said, interesting.
Ok side note: Jack suggesting taking her off duty kinda pisses me off - with the spiraling comment too. She got to spiral when that guy from her past came & it screwed with her psyche, why the f can’t Bishop? It just rubbed me the wrong way, but I don’t hate Jack (don’t @ me, people.)
Back to Badass Bishop Show. She literally always has her gun out now. Just walking to the penthouse again where they didn’t try anything last time, *cocks gun.* When Gibbs comes up and tells her Nick is away 😩 Her relief though in the fact that he’s asking about her and he’s hungry (Ellie rubbing off on him, you can’t tell me I’m wrong) to go to the kicking down the door because that’s what her baby does so therefore she kicks down doors now- the parallels & the influence 😭😭
THE BATHROOM SCENE. McGee like seriously? You actually killed him?? And Gibbs like “oh fuck here we go again.” And then Jimmy had me dyinggggg. Theory alert: I really think Ellie (maybe Gibbs went with her & they’re helping each other with alibis/cover up??) went to kill him but got there after it had happened, that’s why she’s a little cagey about it- not that she *actually* killed the guy. BUT reference 14x16 again, I wouldn’t put it past her.
The final hospital bed scene has my heart. Ellie is so relieved and just so happy and open (but also a little nervous about what happens next so she hides a touch of her emotions, can’t let him see alllll of her heart now can we)- going back to their teasing ways, “worst pretend sleeper”, “next time jump out of the way” - UGH so cute. Side note, they use last names here almost similarly to the submarine episode. When shit gets scary real for them, it’s their way of grounding themselves almost, trying to hide just how much that incident actually affected them. They both do it & yes, it frustrates the hell out of me, but at the same time shows me just how much they care for the other 😭 BUT this time!! Nick made it take a serious turn, and I think Ziva finally got through to him- that sentence “cause you know I risked my life to save yours” is more him openly saying like oh shit I really did that 1. to himself and 2. to finally take that next baby step in their relationship. The emotion behind it showing her it wasn’t just because they’re partners- he wanted her to know that for sure, to make sure he didn’t just make light of it & glaze over it. He needed it out there in the universe that he Nicholas Torres, of sixteen different identities & no family, nothing to live for anymore, would rather DIE- than see Ellie in harms way. He needed it to be tangible for himself AND for her. Because this is growth, this is not what most people think of when they think of him.
And Ellie’s response: the look, hesitation building up courage, and making that first move of physical touch speaks VOLUMES about Ellie at this point. Not only does she take hold of his hand, but she rubs it in a soothing gesture. As if she needs to confirm for herself he’s really there, he’s really alive. The struggle she went through, the turmoil- wasn’t all for not. It’s her saying “I know” not just to the fact that she was joking earlier, she knows he risked his life & she’s grateful for that, but she knows it was more than because they’re just partners, more than just best friends even. That first move is her saying “I know” and “I might be ready to open up & let you in to the walls that surround my heart because the last time I was in a hospital staring at someone I loved, it didn’t turn out the same. Except this time, it took the hospital trip to really bring that into focus, and I know I can’t let that happen again.” Aaaaaaand catch me sobbing in the corner, it’s fine. I’m fine.
Nick’s reaction speaks volumes from him too, his slight shock to Ellie reciprocating & making that first move with his soft smile that is hinted at across his face to show he knows she’s letting him peak in, just a little, and that’s a start. A start people!!!
Last notes: Gibbs being such a dad and defending Nick liking his fireplace is the cutest. Vance was eager to get out of there at the end- his contacts are very very suspicious... And on that note, I really do not think it was Gibbs. I think Gibbs and Bishop may have gotten there after it happened with the purpose of doing something, so now they’re covering for each other, but I do not think it was either of them.
Pretty sure this is officially my longest review to date, WHOOPS. If you made it this far, congrats & thanks for staying with my inner ramblings 🙃 Like I said- my favorite episode so farrrrrr (now let’s see if we get anything AFTER this episode......lol I got jokes 😅).

What about mob!tom's girlfriend suffering a miscarriage? He can be in his office when she comes in bleeding and then all his men is looking at her and when he rush to reach her, she falls unconcious into his arms? You decide the end bc you're dope. Thank youuuuu.
Please don't read if you're sensitive to miscarriage.
[[MORE]]
You and Tom could both describe the difficulties of getting pregnant. You both wanted it though and when you discovered you were, the both of you were more than excited to be welcoming a little love. However, statistically speaking, one in four women miscarry and eight percent of those miscarriages occur in the first twelve weeks.
It seemed like you were blessed with the news of your little love before it was brutally ripped away from you. It started with cramping and then what seemed to be a period on overdrive. The pain and bleeding scared you and the scene that walked into Tom's office had him rushing to your aid. The men out in the hallway stared at you wide eyed as you rushed to your boyfriend with tears streaming down your face and blood staining the white dress you wear.
Tom was out of his chair before you were even in the room completely, luckily catching you before you collapsed from a mixture of the emotions, the blood loss and the sheer shock. He's distraught, carrying you out to his car and hurrying you to the nearest hospital. He's not told the details of your predicament, but by the looks of it, he knows exactly what's happened. He knows that you've lost what you worked so hard for.
When you come to, groggy and disoriented, he's right at your side, doing his vest to comfort you,
"'S alright angel." He says, close to your face. You reach up for his hand, holding it,
"Tom-"
"Yeah baby?" He poses, searching your eyes as they gloss over. He knows that you know and vice versa. He nods as your lip starts to quiver, a single tear slipping from your eye,
"I'm sorry Tom." You sob. He clicks his tongue and holds you close, your face buried in his shoulder as you cry. He rubs up your back, holding back his own tears as he strives to comfort you. Stroking your hair down, he sighs,
"I'm just glad I didn't lose both of you. I would’ve killed myself if I’d lost you too.” He tells you. You pull back, letting him clear your tears,
“But… w-we worked so hard for th-is and now it’s just… gone. Our baby is gone Tom.” You chome out. It breaks his heart to hear you say it, but it’s reality and you have to deal with it. He nods, leaning in to let you lay your head against his shoulder,
“I know love, I know. And you and I will get through it, I promise.” He swears, letting you cry into him. You feel empty, upset with yourself for not being able to do the one thing you two wanted to do more than anything. Tom would, and could never blame you, but you blamed yourself. And he knew that. Rubbing up your back, he sighs, leaning his face into your neck. He kisses your shoulder, the both of you just holding each other,
"I know it's hard love, trust me. I hate this just as much as you do but it'll all pay off when we get another baby. Once we get our rainbow baby." He explains, comforting you somewhat effectively. You'd never be over the feeling of losing your little love. Leaning back, he takes hold of your hand, running his thumb over your knuckles,
"You and me are here. We're gonna try again, trust me. We will try for another baby before you know it and I know this sucks, it really fuckung does, but we're gonna be okay love." He promises. You nod, sniffling as he strokes your tears away, caressing your cheek,
"I love you more than anything and we are going to get our baby. I promise, okay?" You nod, settling into him when he makes himself comfortable beside you in bed, your head laid against his shoulder,
"We are never going to forget the love that went into conceiving that baby, but we'll get another little love soon." He concludes, squeezing you to him. And as much as it hurts, you know he's right.

His grin is wry, “Baby, you are hostage.” His hands slide down my arms to encircle my wrists, fingers caressing marks from where he’d bound me, twice. “I’m not the good guy here, never fucking mistake that,” he gives me a dark look and my stomach coils. Fuck butterflies, this guy gives me moths and they are constantly eating away at my insides. “I shouldn’t have gone in for you because now they know you’re connected to me. They’re using you against me.”
Ooh
He doesn’t say anything for a while, then he sighs. His voice is low and strained and he confesses, “when Sophie died, I got a picture, not a video. But it was the same thing. Knife at her throat while she had been asleep. I was late. I went home and she wasn’t just dead, Jude. She was slaughtered.” He spares me the details he’s clearly reliving. Those moths in my stomach are threatening to spill out because I feel sick and my heart feels heavy. I feel my face pale and my eyes widen. He hadn’t wanted to tell me. I get it. So I’m quiet and don’t ask for more. “Whoever wants you, either wants me hurt by association or there’s far more going on than either of us knows.”
Oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Harsh reminder that jude is a student lol
Wait how old is she (👀)
Don’t tell me

beth i diagnose you with baby syndrome ok anyway here’s part two of the trifecta aka cablepool
Nathan Summers was the most powerful telepath alive. He was more powerful than his mother. He was more powerful than her mentor. He could reach every mind on Earth at once. 
Every mind except one.
Wade Wilson.
Deadpool.
The one person he wanted desperately to trust the most, yet also seemingly the least trustworthy man alive. He was insane, truly insane, and his mind was a beautiful fractured thing. Nathan couldn’t touch it without cutting himself on stray shards of broken psyche. Wade was an enigma. Seemingly transparent, yet always a surprise.
Nate loved him. Did everything in his power to help him, in his own quiet behind the scenes way. Nothing about Wade was quiet or behind the scenes. Nathan appreciated that about him.
But sometimes he had to ask himself how much of it was real.
Wade flirted, yes, but Cable had once seen him flirting with a headless, armless statue, then crying when said statue gave him the cold shoulder. He was warm and convivial, but he shot people in the head convivially. He broke into his apartment regularly, despite Cable happily offering to provide his own on Providence, and he had the habits of a half feral cat. He would slink in at all hours, covered in blood and smelling terrible but still nuzzling himself under Nathan’s considerably large shoulders and practically purring. He kept odd hours.
Nate didn’t always know where he went, what he did, what he ate, but Wade had a habit of coming back after you’ve fed him once.
In a way, Wade reminded him of home. Not the mansion, not Providence, not even Greymalkin, but the war torn world he grew up in. The ravaged hellscape he learned to walk and talk and love in. It had no shortage of scars, of sick, of twisted minds. Wade was a walking talking reminder of the inevitable, if Cable ever lost sight of his mission.
But aside from all that, there was a man. Underneath everything, there was a funny, kind man, with a sense of right and wrong, who loved food and kids and  dressing up and watching Golden Girls marathons. And Nate loved that man. And Wade said he loved him, too. And he believed him. He really did believe him.
But he couldn’t be sure. No one on Earth could lie to him, except for one man.
Wade Wilson.
Deadpool.
He tried not to let that sting. He tried not to let it show. Wade, in his own way, deserved better than that. No matter what anyone said. He just wished he could be sure.
Apparently, despite his best efforts, Wade caught on.
He was at the large communal breakfast with his people, laughing, smiling, watching the children play. He was content, until he heard the noise of the teleporter belt. A heavy weight draped itself across his lap, and he looked at a familiar red masked grin.
“Did you miss me?”
Nate snorted, a fond smile teasing at the edge of his mouth.
“Why, Wade? Were you gone?”
The theatrical shocked gasp made him want to laugh and bury his face in his neck, but they were in public.
“Why, Priscilla! Was that a joke? I’m rubbing off on you! In more ways than one!”
Wade waggled his non-existent eyebrows and stroked Cable’s TO arm.
With a roll of his eyes, he adjusted his body to better support his companion while still allowing himself to eat. Wade pouted before digging into Nate’s plate of fruit.
“Aaaannnyway, Natey-baby, I come here on a specific mission.”
He grunted an acknowledgement.
“Very sexy caveman. But we have a problem, Cable.”
He froze, staring concerned into his eyes. Well, his eye holes. Wade broke into a grin, bottom half of his face exposed.
“Youuuuu don’t trust me!”
Cable blinked, pushing down his slight guilt.
“Wade,” he said softly, “I don’t know how you got that idea, but-”
“Shush your handsome mouth, you emotionally repressed beefcake.”
He snorted.
“OBVIOUSLY you trust me in battle. You know I’ve got your sexy backside covered. I meant emotionally!” He drug out the last word, making an arch with his hands. Some kind of joke, no doubt. “It’s not a surprise, Nate. You’re the world’s biggest control freak, and I’m the world’s biggest wild card. There was bound to be some issues. And don’t get me wrong, if Bea Arthur’s ghost looked my way, I’d leave you in a heartbeat. For at LEAST a month. BUT! That hasn’t happened yet, so for now I’m all yours.”
“You don’t have t-”
“Shushushushushushushushushhhh!” A gloved finger pressed hard against his mouth, contorting his lips. “I don’t blame you, lover! But!” He flipped open one of his many pouches. He pulled out a glowing container, twirling it in his hand theatrically. “Thanks to our good mutual friend, Doctor Strange-”
“You stole something from Strange?”
“I was GIFTED something from Strange! And not something! THIS, my overstuffed burrito of love, is a truth potion.”
Cable’s eyebrows creased.
“Do you want me to drink it?”
Wade snorted.
“No, dummy.” He flicked the cap off. “I’m gonna drink it.”
And with that, he tossed his head back and swallowed it down. Nate tensed, eyes scanning him for any adverse affects. Wade grinned lazily.
“Hey, there, blue eyes,” he crooned, “Were you worried about me?”
“You know I was,” he muttered tersely.
“Awwwwwwwww, Bable, that’s why I love you. I’m literally indestructible, and you still worry a silly old magical potion is gonna treat me bad.”
Nate’s shoulders relaxed.
“Wade-”
“That,” he continued cheerfully, “And your enormous dick.”
Nate choked.
“I mean. Talk about proportionate. I know you didn’t get THAT from your dad, me and Wolvie have been talking-”
“Oh my god,” he whispered, head starting to hurt.
“But baby, wait, that’s only one of the reasons I love you! I also love you for your stupidly naive plan that’s going to get you killed! I love that you think it’s going to work! I love your hope. And your hands. Just. Great hands. Can your TO hand vibrate? That’s irrelevant. But only sort of. I gotta say, I was disappointed that you didn’t have more metal on your, uh, ROD, if you know what I mean-”
“Wade.”
“I’m just saying, the writers are cowards for not going all out!”
“Wade!”
“Oh, right, I’m talking about your dick again. I really love your dick. And your everything. I even love that you’re a bossy jackass! ESPECIALLY in bed. Like. Yeah.”
Nathan’s eyes shut as his face burned red. Wade’s voice had a way of carrying, and several dozen people who had chosen to breakfast there were all staring. Their expressions ranged from shocked to amused.
“Wade there are CHILDREN-”
“That reminds me, it’s not weird that I want to call you daddy like burning, right? Especially considering my relationship with my father, and-” Wade’s own hand shot up, covering his own mouth.
He laughed, tense, before letting go.
“Right. Yes. Small children. Anyway! What I’m trying to say is, I don’t care if you can read my mind or not. I love you. Emotionally. And mentally. Ha, get it, because I’m cra-”
Nate cut him off with a kiss, chest warm with an unfurling emotion.
“Wade,” he whispered, “Thank you. Really. I love you, too. Emotionally.”
“And physically?” Wade shimmied suggestively.
“And physically,” he laughed.
“And I can call you daddy?”
“Why not.”
“And I get exclusive rights to your enormous pe-”
“Wade.”
“Personality, jeez, Nate, get your head out of the gutter!”
Nathan shook his head, grinning. The entire cafeteria was chuckling and avoiding eye contact, and his own face was burning, and he was in love with the man on his lap, and that man loved him. Enough to ask Stephen Strange for help proving it. 
“Wade,” he whispered, “I love you.”
“I love you too, big guy. I would even love you without the huge dick, because I love you that much.”
“Thank you. That means a lot.”
“But please don’t get rid of it anytime soon, I would miss it.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Ok. Good.” With a loud smack to the cheek and a not-so-subtle grab at the last of his breakfast, Wade got up and started to click through his phone.
“What are you doing.”
“I’ve got to buy enough glow sticks to refill this jar and put it back before Strange notices it’s missing. See ya soon, lover-boy,”
Nathan laughed.
“Good luck, handsome.”
Wade blew him a kiss, winked, and vanished.
Face still pink, Nate went back to his breakfast.

Oh! The pretty boy with the puppy eyes! Chapter 2
Author Pov: (A/N: Y/N has depressive episodes :(, and i change my writing style a lot so bare with me please LMAO)
Twas a melancholy day as always, as the regular pitter patter of the sad raindrops fell from the sky, the goddess dripping her teardrops onto the Earth, a blessing. Y/N woke up from her slumber in her dorm room, her new roommate shouting the language of the morons at her as her heavy eyelids droopily hung on her sad face. The girls brain was numb and throbbing, the words of her roommate drowned out as if she was drowning in her tears.
“Earth to Y/N! Oh my- what the hell she’s actually going to be late again! My goodness it’s only the third week..” {?}’s voice echoed through the room.
Finally woke from her black void of a piece of mind, Y/N thrusted her body upwards, listening to Yeri.
“OH- i’m so, so sorry Yeri!,” Y/N fumbled to find the right words, “It most definitely will NOT happen again!” Y/N made a fruitless comment.
“Alright, Alright, it’s okay chill, now go to class, I made you breakfast!”
Tumbling out of bed, Y/N sprinted to get ready and went to eat.
T I M E S K I P ( sorry~)
Walking down the streets polished with dew, the foggy mist shrouded Y/N in a daze, almost ethereal. Grabbing her supplies she ran to the cozy coffee shop, going to grab a morning coffee, and silently hoping she would see the mystery man named Lee Felix.
Walking through the entrance of the shop, the nostalgic bell shook its head, a symbol of reoccurrence. She had headed to sit down lazily, unaware of the time as always, and ironically saw a certain person on the other side of the store. Suddenly all of the bad thoughts in her head melting at the gaze. Felix had his dog, Maru, as always, and was typing ferociously at his laptop. As if he knew, he started packing up his things and headed over to where Y/N was sitting.
Y/N POV:
Hold up, I know I stare a lot but, this is not what i wanted. {911 i hav emerjanci} Instinctively, she pulled out her phone and typed a message to Haechan.
Retard 🗿: Omg Haechan help
Stoopid 👁👅👁: what is it oml it’s so early, are you okay? wait, i can come over
Retard 🗿: No no, nothing like that i’m ok Haechan, it’s just that fEliX is at Brewers and bitches and he’s coming towards meee akfjs
Stoopid 👁👅👁: Y/N- I told you about him...
Stoopid 👁👅👁: i say run
Retard 🗿: Oop- hes already here sorry gotta leave byeee Haechan see you in class~~~
Stoopid 👁👅👁: omg y/n you better not, your in big trouble if you do, oh my god she’s actually going to, YOU’RE GONNA GET YOUR ASS WHOOPED
Y/N and Haechan left the conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I looked up and his beautiful face was there looking at me confused. (A/N: i change my writing style like halfway through so bare with me LMAO)
“Sorry, i was startling at your dog again, my baddd.”
He didn’t buy it. Shit.
“ Hm, i don’t think you’re looking at my dog, huh now.”
“I was most definitely not looking at your goregeous face.” My hand slapped my mouth instinctively.
“Oh wow, has weirdo~ developed a crush on me? I’m not surprised,” he paused and i was shocked. “,I’m joking, so stop looking like that.” Felix playfully punched my arm.
5 minutes later...
“All right, we should go to class”
I paused and groaned. “ Yeah you’re probably right,” I looked at Maru. “ Do you wanna take a walk, Maru?” She jumped up and wagged her tail excited. “I guess i’ll take that as a yes.”
Felix looked at me and commented, “ Alright, i’m going to walk you there, no refusing, okay? Sounds great!”
“I- but- shit, Haechan will be pissed oh my goodness. I-“ Felix tensed up at his mention, strange.
“ I’m walking you to class, it’s final.” He grabbed my frail wrist harshly and walked out the door, the bell seeing us off.
“Yo- bro what’s your issue? Why are you so mad all of a sudden?”
“ Listen, i don’t have time to explain, but trust me, Haechan isn’t all that innocent angel ( HAHA him an angel L M A O ) you think he is.”
“Oh- ok...” The rest of the walk was in silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~. AT THE LECTURE HALL .~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We walked into the lecture hall, and heads turned towards us, Felix holding my wrist still.
I whispered subtly, “ Felix, you can let go of my wrist now.” I tried to shake him off but he ignored you.
The professor was disappointed but not surprised.
“Sit down, Felix and Y/N, I would do something about this but attendance isn’t part of your grade.”
He dragged me up the stairs and was going to go past Haechan. Oh gosh, i’m going to be in so much trouble.
“Wait- I sit by Hyuck, whatcha doing? I don’t-“
“You’re sitting by me today.” He seemed stern.
“If you say so.. but he’s going to be pissed..”
“ He won’t be able to contact you if i’m with you. It’s fine.”
I obeyed silently and trudged along, all of the girls envying me for being so close to Lix.
~~~~~~~~~~~. AFTER THE LECTURE .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As i tried to walk out the door, the professor stopped me.
“ Where do you think you are going? You have to clean my board for punishment.” He was a little strange.
“ Uh-m i thought that we did that a couple weeks ago. But- I don’t-“
“ No, for being late, I can’t get your grade down but hopefully it will teach you a lesson. Grab your friend too, he was late as well.”
“ Right, teach. I’ll make sure to get him.”
You strutted out the class and sprinted to Lix. Someone grabbed my arm and spun me around.
“ Going somewhere?” SHOOT, it was hyuck. “ Seems like you didn’t listen to me huh? On top of it, sitting with him instead of me, rude. I could tell your mom you know.” Your eyes widened, how could he be insensitive knowing my past? You put aside your emotions for now.
“Uh- I can’t talk right now sorry Hyuck.”
“Wait- i didn’t mean- “
Too late, I was long gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I finally caught up to Lix and told him about what we had to do. We walked back to the lecture room.
“This is literally so stupid, why is he making us do this? We were only late.. 45... minutes..never mind.”
“You’re not so intelligent huh?” he chuckled.
As we walked through the door, the professor was ready to leave.
“Alright kids, don’t do anything stupid, there’s cameras.”
My face flushed fast as i thought of all of the things he meant by that. The door closed and suddenly we were alone.
“ Don’t worry about that camera thing he said, i saw the same ‘cameras’ at Target last week. So, if we did anything, no one would know.”
“Oh- Oh my gosh are you kidding me? I would never do anything with you!” Well, that was kinda a lie... anywho!
“I wouldn’t sound so innocent when you’re saying that.. it could put you in danger Y/N..” The atmosphere was so tense and it was killing me.
“We should probably wash this board now or the teach will be mad.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~SEVERAL MINS PASS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was silent, comfortable silence to clarify. I decided to break it boldly. After all, I was quite curious.
“So... Felix.. Can you please explain what you meant about Haechan now? I’ve waited for-“ I couldn’t even finish my sentence as I was thrown harshly onto the professors desk.
“I told you to wait but clearly you haven’t waited enough huh?” He started playing with the buttons on his shirt. “Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.”
There was a loud noise coming from the entrance and, thank God someone came! It was the worst person to come in at the moment but i was thankful. It was the one and only Haechan.
“What the fuck Felix?! What’s the meaning of this?”He looked shocked and hurt. “Y/N, i came back for you but it seems like you’re fine, right?! It’s okay, i was never needed anyways.” Hyuck was passionate but he stormed out of the classroom as Felix got off of me and buttoned up.
“He just ruined the mood ya know?” Lix didn’t seem to care at all.
“Please, can you not do that? I don’t even know you that well yet..” I wad shocked and kind of scared to be honest.
“Yeah, Yeah, but we both know you liked it.” He tossed a wink in my direction. My cheeks flushed as he was telling the truth quaintly.
“Oh- before i forget, i have to tell you something.” Lix paused. “One of my good friends is transferring into this class tomorrow, his name is Hwang Hyunjin.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ END OF CHAP 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phew! I’m done with chapter 2! Sorry, i tried to make this as long as possible with the time i had :(
Anywho hope you guys enjoyed! Hope the rollercoaster of emotions wasn’t too bad lol

Riverdale 3×10
So writing these long ass text posts is actually really fun for me and if you actually read it thank youuuuu  😚 (this one is veryyyy long sorry)
Soooo i was expecting a follow up from the previous episode but they most likely couldn’t find a logical explanation as to how he survived.
Hiram and Archie’s relationship remind of me and my ex’s relationship like what Archie thinks of Hiram is exactly how i feel about my exes is it fucked up in their part or my part? Well who knows?
VARCHIE
Veronica is worried about Archie’s hair the second she saw him is so character for her.
I was screaming DO NOT KISS the entire time, and i’m sorry but i will always be bitter and angry to Veronica that she kissed Archie. You may not agree but i wouldn’t do that. Ohhh nevermind they literally had sex? Ohh that is just great Veronica wow. I’m disappointed.
I am starting to believe they have a unhealthy relationship like Dawson and Joey if you watched Dawson’s Creek. It’s like they need each other so much that they can’t survive individually. And i am one of those people who think that’s not romantic but toxic. They had to kiss or had sex because it’s like necessity for their life. Doesn’t matter the consequence which is hurting someone (Reggie)
“What did i miss when i was gone?”
Betty’s look sums it up lol 😕🙄😅
HONEY
They really did throw him a party huh?
“Take a seat lover, let me entertain you”
meanwhile
*Reggie dies internally while watching them*
Veronica wtf
Bughead was so cringe at the party they look so unnatural 🤢
Someone singing for you and looking into your eyes in front of a lot of people while your best friend is dying of jealousy hmmm love that
I watched Reggie the whole scene he literally try to act like he didn’t care offf
And Archie PTSD from the whole thing someone help him pls this town need a psychiatrist more than a sheriff
Archie you don’t study the SAT’s for a day or two it’s a processes you can take it again it’s okay
Archie is me taking an exam
Archie is not okay someone fucking do something
I was never tired of Varchie having sex too much but they really think ‘will you stay with me?’ means sex i-
Ras wtf? Veronica crying while taking her shirt off?
Thay act like a rebound relationship?
Varchie has been dead for a WHILE
JERONICA
THE POP’S SCENE
People say it’s a core four scene but i say it’s a Jeronica scene and you know it sis
“ two chocolate, one vanilla...” TWO BEING JUGHEAD AND VERONICA. These kind of subtle things make me wanna believe they know our existences and they are teasing us for a possible romance help
“Thankfully i hired the Serpents as my full time protecters”
JUGHEAD’S LOOK AFTER THAT SENTENCE IS EVERYTHING LADYS AND GENTLEMAN WE DID IT
it’s like gratitude.
“Sorry Veronica”
“Don’t be”
I-
HE FUCKING CARES ABOUT HER EMOTIONS AND RESPECTS HER NOW AGAIN IT’S OVER YOU BIETCHHES
VEGGIE
MY HEART BROKEN INTO MILLION PIECES CAN YOU HEAR IT????
“I get it. Archie’s back enough said” that is just i- And his voice is so sad like he is about to cry or something
I AM INCREDIBLY ANGRY TO VERONICA SHE COULD’VE HANDLE THE SITUATION WAAAAY BETTER
Don’t get me wrong i still love her very much but am i wrong on this? Maybe getting with Reggie while Archie was gone is way worse but idk i don’t think this as a character regression but she could’ve handled it better
The secret meetings they are doing idk maaan 
Reggie is pissed and i’m alllll for it
While he was shouting at Archie his voice cracked and i died at that point. ‘Like a little bitch’ that did it for me
“Love doesn’t come easily to me these days” I’m a Reggie stan now, okay? The damage has been done
That scene where they talked about cheating. WHY IS IT SO UNDERRATED? I love it, cause it was a whole misunderstanding and then it was too late to fix it’s such Reggie and Archie thing too
That hug at the hospital is 💗💞💘💝💕💕💖  “come here”
COOPERS
I AM SORRY I DON’T LIKE BETTY BUT UMMMM ALICE YOU ARE BEING A HOE STOP IT.
When she said collage found i lost it and she fucking gave it to the farm offffff when did she become a dumb person? When?
I actually felt bad for Betty i have a heart god dammit
I’m still not buying Hal as blackhood sue me
you know this whole messed up dad thing could’ve work if they didn’t make him so submissive at the very start
Celebrating with milk seems oddly psychotic to me
Betty talking to a serial killer aka her dad as if he is therapist killed me
BARCHIE
Omfg when Betty holds Archie’s hand Jughead’s look was sus
Barchie’s relationship is all about trust and if you ask me that’s one big thing bughead doesn’t have so Barchie has a strong foundation sissies you heard it from here first lol
DADDIES (Omg sorry)
Frad and FP
THAT’S HOT (insert will smith voice)
FRED WENT OF HE SNAPPED ON HIRAM and i support it fully and FP’s smile is fucking everything he is like “yes he is my boyfriend how are ya?”
“Sheriff Jones now boy” best part of the episode fight me
ACTUAL PLOT lol
I’m calling it now FANGS IS NOT SAVE SOMETHING’S GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM AND I WILL SUE JUGHEAD
And the most fucked up thing is that Jughead doesn’t even care he puts Fangs life into danger??? Wtf
You’re saying no one knows who Fangs Fogarty is or didn’t look him up? They don’t think a former Serpent member wanting to be in their inner circle sus?
The reaction of Fangs and Sweet Pea when they heard that he killed Joaquin 💖💕💘💗💓💞💖💗💘
So is THE GARGOYLE KING is really tall boy?
Okay hold on hold on JUGHEAD, wtf??? Baiting Archie to Hiram is so messed up? And you’re talking about it like it is a fucking marvelous of a plan
No, you obviously have some PTSD Archie omg
Sweet Pea and Fangs killing someone accidentally is the funniest dumbest shit ever i love them
That scene was really good
Oh btw Jughead ‘no crimes’ Jones how do they have a gun honey?
“We’re gonna throw a party”
“Okay”
AND THAT’S HOW WE FIX EVERYTHING IN RIVERDALE
Jughead being calm like that worries me you are 16 year old boy trying to cover up a murder AGAIN like that’s his friday night plansWe’re welcoming Fangs but not Choni love that for you guys heheheh
HERMIONE AND HIRAM 
“Hiram no”
“Hmmmm”
Damnnnn sis i’m surprised Hermione
Hermione will have an alliance with FP/Fred (they are one) and
Veronica will have an alliance with Jughead/ Serpents
“That’s how i stay alive” ashhsjskskskal
Hermione and FP love that ally
NO CHONI THIS EPISODE  :(

Inuyasha awoke feeling groggy. Something was wrong… he didn’t even remember falling asleep. The last thing he remembered it was the new moon--his night of vulnerability.  His eyes felt extremely heavy; he must’ve fucked up. Miscalculated. There must’ve been a danger he hadn’t smelled or sensed before he lost his demonic abilities.
Fuck. His body hurt. The question had morphed from what happened to where was he? How was he alive? And why? He listened quietly and heard the pitter patter of rain--likely bouncing off of a roof. He smelled like he was in an enclosed hut. It was old--stagnant. Obviously, it hadn’t been used in awhile. But he wasn’t alone. There was a strong smell of lavender, honey, and jasmine flowers… it was alluring. Intoxicating. But it also scared the shit outta him. He also smelled a lot of blood. Not just his. Probably not just who he shared this little hut with either.
He sat up quickly and groaned from his stupidity. “Fuck…”
“Oh, you’re awake. You need to lie still,” he heard a soft melodic whisper from across the room. He turned to see a young woman in priestess garbs leaning against the wall of the hut he was currently in. He sensed her power and shit--he was about to fucking die. Or fry. Something. He gasped and clutched his gut as he tried to turn and run but his legs failed him. 
Her sigh and shuffling made him panic until he heard her whimper. He looked over to her to see she also was grasping her own torso as she scooted towards him. She was pale. Sweating. She… didn’t look good. 
“Stop,” he tried to sound threatening. It must’ve worked or she was where she had tried to get to. Water dripping from a bucket made him turn his head and see she was much closer. She grimaced and winced again as she shifted onto her knees and pressed a calming hand on his chest. She wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled softly--weakly.
“It’s okay… I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Get off me,” he said, grabbing her hands and pushing her away slightly. He hadn’t expected her to fall to the floor of the hut and cry out. Shit. He was an asshole. He noticed an overwhelming scent of blood--hers. Shifting he took her in and saw how dirty she was now that she was close enough. She was covered in demon blood--along with his and her own.
She rolled over onto her back and glared at him, “You--asshole! That’s not a way to thank someone for helping you!”
“Never asked for your help,” he shot back. “I told you to stop.”
“I thought you were just scared and confused! Not that you’d throw me!”
“I didn’t throw you, I shoved and you’re just weak.”
“Whatever,” she scoffed and rolled over to her side. She was whimpering as she pushed herself to get up and then made her way back to the wall. 
He took the opportunity to see she had bandaged him--”Where are my clothes??”
“Your kosode is ruined but your haori is over there,” she gestured behind him. He wasn’t surprised. Only his kimono made from the fur of the fire rat could withstand damage. Standing uneasily, she remained quiet this time as he began to dress. 
“Alright, I’m out of here.”
“I wouldn’t if I were you,” she said leadingly. He glanced back and saw a smug little sparkle in her bright sapphire eyes. He looked to the door and saw her barrier erected around the hut and grew angier.
“Why the hell not? I’m not staying here with you, you weak ass priestess! You couldn’t even slay me!”
“Why would I want to hurt you?”
“Are you fucking blind??! I’m a demon!!”
“Half.”
“Shut up! Anyway--so you’re a dark priestess then?? Ya wanna make a deal? I don’t really do that kind of shit so you might as well lower your barrier. I’m leaving whether I have to kill you or get zapped.”
“There’s a rather large horde of demons past my barrier. It’s there to protect us… until we heal.”
“Don’t lie.”
“Smell for yourself,” she flicked her wrist and a tiny hole opened and he got a good whiff. Fuck. He’d die the minute he stepped out. There’d be no way he would make it past them. 
“Damnit!” he yelled as he punched a hole through the hut. “Why didn’t you kill them huh?? God you’re fucking useless!”
“For your information, I was a little busy saving you,” she said in a huff. “For someone who had their life saved on such a time of weakness, you sure are ungrateful.”
“I should just fucking kill you now, bitch. But I need your fucking barrier.”
“Oh goody,” she sighed leaning her head back against the wall and closing her eyes. “Don’t worry. I’ll be out of your hair soon enough.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he snarled. She was planning to kill him after all! Fuck! 
“I may be a priestess but I’m still human. I’ve lost a lot of blood, been using my reiki for three days straight, haven’t eaten anything, oh, and, probably have slept for maybe six hours total,” she said with a heavy groan at the end clutching her abdomen. Okay, he felt like a dick. But he was only protecting himself.
“Why haven’t you been taking care of yourself? You’re of age to be independent. How the hell have you lived so long if you’re this dumb?”
“Gods! I’ve been taking care of you, stupid!!!” She yelled at him with tears in her eyes. “Gods just shut up! I’m sorry I saved you! Obviously I messed up--you clearly were trying to commit suicide. Don’t worry, in a couple hours, I’ll probably be dead anyway, my barrier will fail and they’ll eat us both!”
“Shut up! That’s not what I meant!” Inuyasha kneeled down at her feet, still not willing to get too close to her but she wasn’t going to be able to reach out in her state at that moment.
“Oh??? Want me to use myself as bait so you can escape??? Lessen the guilt so you won’t have to watch me die?? Prefer to think I just waltzed right out of here rather than succumbing to my injuries!!?”
“No! Fuck! Stop fucking talking!!”
“No really!! Tell me what it is you want! What do you need?? I live to fucking serve!!”
He finally lost his temper and slapped his hand over her mouth and glared into her wide eyes, “Shut. Up. Look, I overreacted. I didn’t remember what happened--still don't--I thought you were trying to kill me like every-fucking-one else--and I admit I’m a jackass.”
She just continued to glare at him and then she did the craziest thing he had EVER had happen to him. She. LICKED. Him. What. In. The. Fuck!??!?!
“Ugh!!!” he yelled and pulled his hand away like it was on fire. “You--you--youuuuu---WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!? YOU LICKED ME!!!”
“Jeez, you’re acting like I just shot you with an arrow,” she mocked rolling her eyes.
“You’re--you’re so fucking weird!! Are you even a priestess?!!?”
“Uhm, duh?”
“Don’t you know demons are inherently evil?? That as a priestess we are naturally enemies?!" He felt like he was going to explode from rage that was driven by confusion. This woman hadn't tried to attack him yet. No matter how much he cursed her, poked and prodded her, insulted her-- she just took it. Rolling her eyes. Like she knew him. 
"Yes-- I'm aware we are 'supposed' to be enemies. I just don't believe in that notion. Not all demons are bad. You exist because a human and demon obviously loved each other to make you. I have demon friends that I care for, well, cared for." She sighed and took a ragged breath. "Look, I don't want to spend what could be my last hours arguing. I accept your lame apology. I forgive you."
"You--you what???"
"You’ve obviously had a rough life to be so callous. I'm just sorry we couldn't have become friends," she added as her shoulders relaxed somewhat.
"Oh fuck no! You're not gonna fucking die on me!"
"Haha, are you a demon of the underworld that can prevent that? I'm also not dying yet. Just resting." Her demeanor didn't convince him.
"No but I can heal you."
That made her eyes open again. "Hm? How?"
"I don't like owing favors and I unfortunately think I owe you a lot… my uhm… " Well shit. How was he gonna tell her? He doubted she'd accept help. She seemed to have about as much pride as he did. She wouldn't sully herself to be healed...
"How about while I rest you think of a way to tell me of your little 'secret'," she said as gruffly as a kitten. She was pretty weak, he probably shouldn't let her sleep. If she did, he wasn't sure she'd wake back up.
"No."
When she didn't respond he slightly panicked and reached out and touched her to rouse her. Even though he shouldn't care, she rescued him and likely gave her own life for his.
"Hey! You cannot sleep!! Bitch wake up!!"
"Ugh, I liked you better sleeping. I at least could imagine you being nicer."
He let out a breath he hadn’t known he had been holding and clipped, "Regret saving a half breed already?"
"No."
He blinked. Twice. Three times. She opened her glazed over ocean eyes and locked with his, "Why do you assume I'd regret giving my life for yours?"
"I can run off twenty reasons right now."
"Mmmm… I'd prefer not to hear any until after you let me nap. Next time you stir me I may make you regret giving me the idea of zapping you," she smirked weakly before letting her eyes shut again. 
"You better just be sleeping," he grumbled.
"Don't worry. I'll see your handsome smirk again," she slurred, finally succumbing to sleep.
Sputtering and blushing from her words he got up quickly and exited the hut. Fuck. She was crazy.  All he could do was equate her insanity to her exhaustion, blood loss, and hunger. Yep. That made the most sense. Finally calming his racing heart, he noticed the barrier wasn't just around the hut; it seemed to stretch out into the forest. Maybe he could find something to eat… rebuild their strength. Would animals be able to enter the barrier? How was the barrier able to even be maintained this long? How was this woman so powerful? 
He took a deep breath, finally calm enough to start his own healing process. He tamped into his body and allowed his demon blood to take over. The rush of power always made him feel alive. Free. His brother, even though he was an ass, had saved him from himself centuries ago. He'd oddly been in a situation similar to this one; that was why he typically took extra care on nights of the new moon to make sure a repeat never occurred.
He had been younger, no more than a whelp and hadn't been on his own long enough to learn to fight. Sesshomaru thankfully saved him. According to him, it was to honor their father.  He couldn't allow someone of their bloodline to sully it. He showed him how to control his blood, how to use his demonic aura, then sent him on his merry fucking way. The jackass said he honored his vow and blah blah blah. 
Only recently did the dick reach back out to him. Something about finding his mate, change of heart, yada yada yada… He scoffed at the thought of still trying to live with the asshole. 
He felt a weird surge in his blood-- something he hadn't felt before. The woman's scent had grown ten times as strong and he realized his demonic half moved before he felt the motion. He went back inside the hut to her side. She was breathing heavily, sweating, and moaning slightly. He heard his instincts screaming at him to heal her-- that they couldn’t allow her to die. 
What the fuck are you talking about? She’s just some priestess.... Who saved my life. No I don’t really want her to die but sometimes that’s just how life goes. She didn’t listen to me anyway.
Don’t fool yourself, hanyou. You aren’t this dumb.
Shut up and just fucking tell me why we can’t let her die? I know you don’t experience guilt which would be why I would be slightly upset over her death.
It’s just the two of us, actually, it’s just you here. No need to fool yourself. You like this little human. She not only saved us on our night of weakness, but she stayed by us until we awoke. Even now she keeps the barrier raised, unaware we are healing. 
So?
You are so dense half-demon. Why do you think she does this?
Look, you want to keep her alive for whatever reason and you’re running out of time if you want to act so…
I am you. You also want to keep her alive. Why do you think you would like someone so quickly? Allow someone to sway in your judgement?
I don’t know-- first person aside from Mother who didn’t run away screaming or even try to purify my ass immediately when I transformed back? I mean--
Her scent calls to us. Her body and soul compels us to be near her. Are you really so blind? Can you not see who she is? 
For fucks sake! Just spit it out! I hate your stupid snarky games when I actually try to listen to you.
She is our mate, hanyou. The one who is made to be with us. The one we are to protect, to cherish, to fuck, to pup--
Oh my God will you shut up!!! That’s not possible! She’s a fucking priestess!
Blind and dumb as ever half-demon. It does not matter if she was whore, a princess, a demon, or a child--her scent says she is our chosen. 
Dammit it all! What am I supposed to do with that?!
Heal her and court her, dumbass.
He fucking hated his demon half. The bastard basically laughed at him constantly and plagued him with nonstop riddles. Asshole. Demons and mates--a topic that wasn’t new to him. His brother had found her mate not too long ago. It was the main reason he sought him out. She was human--young--probably not too much younger than this young priestess.
Rin wanted Sesshomaru to mend the bridges he had tried to completely break. She was so… bright. Cheerful. Lively. The absolute opposite of Sesshomaru. It was odd to watch them interact. It also made them hard to be around. 
Regardless, mates weren’t common to find in demons. They lived such long lives that finding a mate was almost near impossible. Especially if one was human and you happened to miss them in their lifetime.
But… he was still hesitant. This woman was a priestess. Even if she hadn’t purified him into ash didn’t mean she still wouldn’t. His inner demon was determined they could woo her. Yea. What a bunch of horse shit. However, watching her body tremble in distress did make him die a little inside. He felt guilty… This young woman gave her life to save him. What was even crazier was even after his powers returned, she stayed by him. Kept the barrier up. Treated his wounds…
Other humans were disgusted even if he came into town. She… touched him. Bantered with him. She honestly held no fear of him. And even now, as she barely hung on for dear life, her barrier remained strong and firm.
She was beautiful. Unruly black wavy hair, those big blue eyes that he could have gotten lost in, her shapely body… Her scent though of lavender, honey, and jasmine. It just called to him. In a way he just wasn’t even sure how or why.
His demon was right. He couldn’t let her die. Not yet. If she wanted to kill him after this, he’d let her. If she sent him away, he’d go. But he knew he had to save her.
He pulled her away from the wall and lifted her into his arms. Gods, she fit perfectly into them. She shuddered and moaned as she sank into his chest.
“Mmmmm,” she pushed her face into his chest as he kneeled down to lay her down on the futon he had been resting on before he awoke. “Pine trees…”
“What?” he gasped. She recognized his own very unique scent of pine trees and musk. 
“What's your name?” her raspy voice full of sleep asked.
“You’re awake?”
“Mhmmm...may be weak… but tried to stay aware--was scared the barrier’d fall. Youki woke me up--surprised it didn’t take over ya earlier to heal you...” she muttered while slurring her words, drunk off exhaustion.
“I--...How can you trust me? Why are you still trying to protect me? You obviously sensed my power--I don’t even know your name and you’re just--why--” He was so speechless because this woman, within the past couple hours had proved to give more of a shit about him than anyone. 
“Kagome.”
“Huh?”
“My name. Ka--Go--Me--...and you deserve kindness. Just like everyone else. Your aura--it’s powerful. But not evil.”
“I--”
“Why did you move me?” she asked weakly.
“Your scent… You’re--I--” how does someone tell another they are close to death? She said she already knew but--
“Oh, you were gonna heal me,” she surmised. His silence likely confirmed it as she then sighed, “It’s alright if you aren’t comfortable with it.”
“It’s you I’m worried about, stupid.” 
“I just gave you my name, you could at least use it.”
“Whatever wench, look, do you want me to save you or not?”
“You’re not gonna eat me right?” He looked down to see if she was serious but saw a weak little cocky smile on her face. He rolled his eyes in response.
“No...I just--I don’t think you’re gonna like it.”
“Could you stop speaking in riddles? I’m using too much energy to keep up with your mood swings.”
“You are not gonna like it--my saliva has healing properties. I can heal you by…” he trailed off. He was already scared of the rejection.
“Ah… I get it now. Okay.”
“‘Okay’?”
‘It… makes sense. I know little about inuyoukai. They aren’t that common. Typically keep to themselves,” she groaned and shifted her face back into his chest to take what he could only describe as comforting breaths.
“Wh-what are you doing??” he blushed.
“S-sorry… You--you smell good. It helps. A bit,” she cringed.
Fuck. He could literally hear his inner demon purring and laughing about how right it was. Bastard. He laid her down and hovered over her. To say he was petrified she would reject him would be an understatement. But here he was, putting himself out there, in likely more ways than one. 
“Are you really okay if I…”
“Tell me your name,” she asked again weakly.
“Why?”
“I wanna know the name of the man who saved me…” she sighed as she tried to relax on the futon beneath him.
“Inuyasha.”
“Mmm… Inuyasha…” she breathed as she raised her hand to cup his cheek. He gasped as her sapphire eyes locked with his, giving him all the trust he never knew someone could have in someone like him. She smiled softly and dropped her hand to her side and passed back out. As if she was at ease with him now being her protector. He felt the barrier had still not lowered but it wasn’t as strong as it was. 
Swallowing hard he did what he had never done before--he started to undress a woman. Honestly he had never been more uncomfortable in his life. He was scared his demon would get ideas. Just from the idea she more or less submitted to him without knowing put his demon into a frenzy. 
He got her obi untied and easily tugged down her hakama. She was pretty heavily bruised--her right upper leg in particular. He wouldn’t be able to do much for a broken bone which he was fairly positive she had. He parted her kimono and saw her binds weren’t in great shape. They were tattered and he wasn’t sure exactly how or why she hadn’t bothered removing them all together. Her own bandages that wrapped her torso were soaked. She shouldn’t have been wasting their supplies they somehow had on him--she should have been taking care of herself. 
Dammit all--of course his mate would be the most selfless person in the world. She’d probably die before he could even finish courting her. Probably offer herself up as dinner to a hungry wolf. Fuck. That’s not where his mind should be. He just needed to focus on making sure she lived. He could think about the what ifs and other crazy unrealistic hypotheticals once she was better,
He sliced through her bindings and bandages until she was bare before him. Fuck. He had seen naked women before, not on purpose but after centuries of being alone--you see things. Bathing where you’re hiding, couples sneaking away where they think they're alone, saving girls who were taken from their homes by bandits. He was no stranger to the female form or what men did to pleasure it. Not that he ever had the balls to try anything with anyone ever. No woman would ever show him the time of day… well, at least until now.
Gazing down at her sweat glistening body he decided to start on the largest wound--the one that was likely threatening her life most at the current moment. Gulping, he let his demonic side rise again to the surface as he began to lave her body. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Her blood was tantalizing. Oh Gods, why was her blood so good? He wasn’t a fucking bat demon. This was something he’d likely have to ask Sesshomaru about. Maybe. This seemed rather intimate. Maybe he should mention it to no one. Ever. Not even her. Who knows, she might run off after this was done anyway.
Finally the demon seemed to be satisfied with his work and receded back. Now, he had one more job. Getting rid of the hordes of demons so that he could hunt for food. He took off his haori and draped it over her now clean and well resting body.She was still pale but her breath had evened out and she wasn’t struggling as much to be comfortable. 
He found what he was looking for in an instant. His sword pulsated to him-- called to him. It was in the corner of the hut near where his haori had hung. Grabbing it quickly, he stepped outside and unsheathed it. He waited to see if he heard her stir but there was silence. She must've been holding on by a thread.  He felt bad but he was going to have to shatter her barrier. The action would likely wake her if not shock her a bit. But if she stood a chance at fully recovering, the demons had to go. 
Even if she didn't, even if her leg didn't heal, even if she couldn't bear his pups, or even if they could never consummate their mateship, he would stay by her side, if she allowed it. If she wanted that life. He couldn't even understand his declarations or vows let alone his undying desire to protect her, but he couldn't resist the undeniable absolute certainty that Kagome was his mate. 
He changed his sword to the beautiful color of red and then swung after muttering a soft apology in the wake of his guilt. The barrier came down and that's when the aura hit him. Fuck!! Why were there so many after him?! How did he not sense them even in his human form??
What he found even more peculiar was they did not attack. They merely hovered like a disgusting hive. What the fuck was happening?
"Give us the girl half-breed," one hissed.
"What? Why?" He yelled in defensiveness. They wanted her?! She led them to him?! It wasn't even him who they were after?? Who was she?!
"We were told to bring the girl to our master."
"Why?!"
"That is none of your concern half-breed. Release her and we will allow you to leave," another ugly son of a bitch replied.
"Inu-ya-shaaaaa…" he heard the weak murmur of his name from behind him.
"Stay back, wench," he said harshly hoping she'd crawl her way back into the hut.
"It's okay, they want me. It's my fault you were even hurt… Please, let me do this so you're safe. You don't deserve him hunting you down as well."
He didn't take his eyes off the demons but he almost did.  She was being hunted. And she was giving up. For him. Fuck that!
"Let's make one thing clear right here and right now, priestess. I have no intention of allowing whatever prick that is hunting you down to take you."
"It's not up to you, Inuyasha. I'm not going to let anyone else die for me!"
"I don't plan on dying; I plan on protecting you!" He had enough of their banter. Raising his sword, he unleashed the power of the Wind Scar that killed all the weak ass demons in one downward swing.
"H-how?!" She gasped.
Turning around as he sheathed his blade he finally took a look at her gorgeous face. He didn't smell any fear or disgust coming from her. There was pain but if anything judging from her expression it was mostly surprise. 
"Father's fang. All powerful sword of mortals and crap," he explained gruffly as he knelt down to her slowly. He wanted to give her the opportunity to flinch, tell him to back off, anything. But just stared at him in wonder. Then she glared at him.
"You idiot! Now he's just going to send more! Stronger ones! He's never going to stop! Uhh!! Gods!! Don't you ever listen?!"
"What the fuck?!? That's the thanks I get for saving us?! You!!? Well fuck you too!!"
"No! You just put a giant target on your back by saying that you're protecting me and now your life is going to be in danger!! Gods, I need to get out of here before he finds us together." She made to stand but cringed and fell directly into his arms. 
"Shut up. You can't go anywhere in that condition let alone in my haori," he scoffed as he lifted her into his arms as she blushed.
"L-look," she stammered avoiding eye contact. "You have no idea what you're signing up for! This demon that's after me-- he'll stop at nothing to get me! He's a shapeshifter. He'll kill your family, friends, anyone you've ever met.  He'll turn villages against you, towns, all until you're all you have left in this world and then you're so alone you're begging for death…"
He sat her back on the futon and retracted his arms but kept his amber eyes on her disheartened face. His blood boiled knowing she was speaking from her heart. Why she hadn't bothered to really help herself or fight him… it was because she had given up on her life. It took all he had to not pull her in his lap and swear it would all be okay.
"Why not just let the demons take you if you've already given up?" 
"Don't sound dejected-- we just met. But there are things much worse than death…"
He honestly didn't want her to elaborate; he knew it'd unleash his inner beast and he'd hunt the son of a bitch down right then.  Whoever the s.o.b. was, that is. 
"Listen, I realize you don't know me and I don't really know you but you saved my life so I owe ya," he tried to explain his presence.
"You repaid that debt and even then, I'm the one that almost got you killed. And for involving you I'm so sorry. I appreciate you trying to help me but you should go.  You're basically fully healed and you helped me a lot. I probably will never be able to repay your kindness but I can try by telling you to go. "
"You're a fucking idiot if you think I'm going anywhere without you!" He was losing his temper and possibly his sanity when he grabbed her hands in his to make her look at him with those big ocean filled eyes. "The minute you found me, the moment you saved me, the instant you decided not to kill me because we are natural born enemies, you shook my world. I owe you more than you'll likely ever understand. I don't have friends, a family I can run home to, a place to even fucking call home. You aren't putting my life anymore at risk than it already was. I'm a hanyou. Not a demon. Not a human. There isn't really an actual place for me to belong. If it's alright with you, I'd prefer sticking around making sure you find your place back in the world where you belong." Not the actual confession he wanted to make but close enough. He still basically admitted he wanted to be by her side.
"Inuyasha…" She looked… in awe. Oh shit. She was tearing up. Was she that disgusted by the idea of him staying with her? She'd prefer to die or be hunted alone rather than being protected by him? "I… thank you!" 
His mind must've blacked out. Blanked. Something. But her arms were wrapped around his neck and her tears were soaking his kosode. Her body was pressed up to his and she trembled from her sobs… holy fuck. He was shocked she would be so--personal? So intimate. Did she realize how little she was wearing?? 
As he was about to return the gesture, she pulled back and wiped her eyes, "Sorry. It's just been so long since I've talked to anyone. That someone hasn't chased from the streets. Oh my gosh! I'm being so insensitive! Please forgive me!" 
She was about to bow but he caught her shoulder surprising her. "No. None of that.  You finish," he motioned to her tears,"that-- and I'm gonna catch us dinner." Before she could object he took off running.
Flustered. Hot. Bothered. And most of all, happy.
It had been about a month since Inuyasha had met Kagome. Tonight was the impending new moon. He had just gotten back to their hut after hunting for their dinner. The sky held a blood red hue to it--a dark omen if he ever knew one.  But Kagome had regained most of her strength. Her leg was still healing as were her ribs he hadn’t noticed before but, she was able to move around a little more steadily. 
They hadn’t experienced any additional trouble from the demon that was hunting Kagome. It had been oddly very quiet. Not that they complained. It gave them time to get to know each other.  
He learned she was feistier than he originally thought. And if that didn't make him hotter than hell. She never backed down from a dispute they had whether it was over how much liver she should be ingesting, how much she should be sleeping, if she was leaving the barrier up long enough-- Gods his instincts chose a wild mate. 
She also learned he was an 'overprotective-jealous-insensitive-crazy-loud-mouth-jerk-asshole'. Her words. Not his. He still hadn't exactly told her she was his mate. To be fair, he wanted her to be fully healed before he even confessed something like that. He wanted to hear her genuine feelings first… and not have them swayed on the fact she was dependent on him for her care. 
Not to say they hadn't had tender moments together. Moments that if she wanted to go back and live a normal life once that demon was gone, he'd cherish forever…
She told him about her family; she had a mother, brother, grandfather. Her father died right after her brother was born from the fever cough. Her grandfather was a priest, not the most powerful one, but he was able to train her in her powers. 
When the demon began pursuing her, she left one night without a word. She wasn't sure if the demon came for them again or not. Originally she sought help from the demon slayers, but they told her they couldn't help a demon's whore who willingly allowed five of their best slayers to die at the hands of her mate.
Inuyasha knew that tidbit was wrong, but it hadn’t calmed his youkai blood when hearing some demon was going around spreading the idea that it was his Kagome's mate. That what was his, belonged to someone else. He was going to enjoy ripping out the fuckers intestines, wrapping them around his neck, and watching the fucker choke on his own blood and lack of air.
Midtransformation, Kagome had reached out and grazed his cheek, trying to calm him. Her words still echoed in his brain, "I'm here. He didn't get me. It's not true." It was like she knew-- she knew what he needed to hear. 
He had confided in her about his childhood. Not a whole lot of detail. Just his mother too, died from the fever cough. He was on his own for the majority of his life. Told her about the asshat he did have for a brother and his sister in law…
"It sounds like he's sorry for what he did-- or rather didn't do," Kagome had surmised.
"Don’t matter."
"But family is family and they sound like they want you to be a part of it. It sounds like Sesshomaru has trouble expressing his feelings, must be a family trait," she laughed while he glowered. "I'm sorry, I couldn't pass up a way to poke at you. Anyway, you don't have to be alone anymore. Your family wants you to be with them; if I were you, I'd take that chance. You said how long you've been alone, how no one accepted you, and you have a chance now. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. I know it's hard to believe but trust your sister; Rin seems to be that voice of reason."
Like you are for me… Not that he could say that aloud. But she must've seen the look in his eyes. Or maybe, just maybe on her own, she just wanted the closeness too. She had leaned her head upon his shoulder and let out a slightly ragged breath. He smelled the salt water that pooled at her eyes and heard her whisper so softly he almost didn't catch it, "I don't want you to leave me though…"
He had nuzzled her head and buried his nose in her hair as he wrapped his arm slowly around her shoulders. She had shifted and gripped his haori in her fist and cried silently. His little miko was so strong, stubborn, and determined. It was rare to see her finally succumb to her grief of the losses she suffered. The pain of the rejection she faced. The silent confession of wanting to be with him. 
Again, he wanted this stupid demon to be dead before he asked her to be his mate.  He didn't want it to be out of gratitude. She had admitted she had previously been promised to another male--Hobo? No, Homo? That wasn't it… Hojo. Yea that little fuck head. When his growl emerged from his chest without warning, she laughed and said even if she ever returned to her village, she had no intention of going through with that marriage. It was arranged by the families in thanks of their support after Kagome's father had passed. 
Sighing over the reflection of how far he and Kagome had come in the last moon cycle, he cleared his head. Or rather tried to. He already felt the pull of the moonless night pulling his youki away. His emotions were getting twitchy and edgy. Fuck his life. 
He entered the hut and was greeted by the most radiant smile that made his heart beat faster. Shit. It was going to be a very, very long night. His human half was bound to share some secrets that shouldn't be shared. Ever. Well not ever, just not yet. 
"I missed you! Did you have a good hunt?" She asked as she stood uneasily. She still favored her left leg but was able to put more pressure on her right than she had been able to. It pissed him off for her to be moving at all but she explained to him she had to. More or less explained if she didn't use it, she could likely lose it. Even though he comforted her, she said she wouldn't be able to rely on him forever. 
"I got a couple hares and found some plums."
"Oh good, the vegetables are roasting now if you wanna clean them and throw them in."
He nodded to her and handed her the plums then stepped back outside to the dirty work. Kagome was not an ordinary woman. She cared so deeply for basically all manner of animal or beast she almost became a vegetarian. Weirdo. He had grown accustomed to skinning and cutting his game outside out of her sight so that she would eat meat. She needed it after all.
Once he was finished he brought in the cubed pieces and dropped them in the kiln 
"We can use the fur to make blankets for the upcoming season," he mentioned as he hung them out to dry.
"I hope we won't need them but that's a wonderful idea." Oh yea--they weren’t actually together. Or at least not yet. Him and his big mouth. It was weird; whenever he opened his mouth to say that stuff without thinking, she never told him she didn’t want them to be together--just that she hoped that they didn’t have to stay in this hut. He was too scared to ask what she wanted to do when the demon was caught. It also would mean he would likely be confessing some of his feelings in the process because she in return would ask what he wanted to do…
He felt the similar pulsation he’d felt hundreds of times as his powers drained completely. He felt the shift in his claws, fangs, and the last hinting remains of his heightened senses vanish. Sighing, he turned and saw Kagome had watched with interest. Did she like him in this form? Did she prefer him this way? Was it a human she wanted to be bound to?
“Wow,” she gasped. “I know we technically met in this form but… it’s still strange.” She began to rise; the action annoyed him as he saw her still struggling. He grabbed her elbow to assist her to which she sent a grateful look. What he didn’t anticipate was for her to grab his arms to stay in place. He watched her face study him. Did she think he was a different person?
“Hmmm,” she hummed as she took her hands and brushed his hair back to reveal his human ears.
“Something on your mind?” he finally snapped.
“OH, uhm, nothing really,” she said far too quickly.
He debated on letting her comment go but couldn’t shake his insecurities. “Well go ahead and spit it out--you prefer me as a human right??” 
“What?? NO! Why would you think that!!? Oh my gosh, is that why you think I--ugh! You’re so stupid!”
“I’m ‘stupid’?? How’s that?!”
“To think that I would just be lumped in with everyone else! That you’d even think that!!”
“Well excuse the fuck outta me!!! You were the one who was basically ogling me just now!”
“Oh my--ugh!! Kami!!! How old are you?! You’re acting like a preteen girl!!”
“Take that back, bitch!!”
“No way! You’re being super sensitive right now! Acting like you’re hitting puberty and your mood swings are fully swinging around!!"
"Let me tell you something, wench; I am at least ten times older than you I can promise you I have gone in and out of the maturing process "
"Clearly not, otherwise you wouldn't be acting like a freaking child!"
"I am not acting like a child! I'm just pointing out you clearly like this form better!!"
"I didn't say or imply that!! You're still you! What's the problem with what form you're in anyway?!"
"Because no one, no one will ever want a half-breed!! No one will ever love you, no one will ever accept you!! You're always the last one that is picked out of a line up; everything is always, always your fault!"
Her eyes widened at the proclamation he unwittingly made. "Inuyasha..."
He turned away from her embarrassed about his admission and turned away to head outside.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" Kagome was panicking. But he needed a minute alone. He had to reign in his emotions. 
"I just need a minute…"
"Inuyasha please--I'm--"
"I'll be back," he grumbled as he walked out of the hut. He almost went back in when he heard her sobs but he had to compose himself. They couldn't necessarily fight all night.  He needed to remind himself she was not them. She wasn't like everyone else. His stupid humans emotions couldn't betray the trust they had built together. Allowing his insecurities to make him act like that?? Pathetic. 
After everything she had done for him and they were going through? Gods, he should leave her. He wasn’t a suitable mate for her. He didn't deserve her.
After a couple hours spent in the tree nearest their hut since it was still engulfed in her barrier, he figured it was time to go back. Even though she was upset, she refused to lower it. He often wondered if she was just as afraid to be alone as he was… Not that he'd ever admit that. 
As he entered the hut, he noticed she was laying on the futon facing away from the door. He wasn't sure if she was sleeping, faking, or just simply resting and ignoring his presence, but either way, he figured it was for the best. He wouldn’t risk making more of an ass out of himself and hopefully he could figure out a way to apologize to her for acting like an idiot.
Another couple hours passed and after he ate, he took up space on the wall so that he could face the top of her head. He still couldn't look at her face.  He knew it would have been puffy from crying herself to sleep. Thank Gods he didn't have his sense of smell tonight--it would have broken him. He decided to rest his eyes for a bit. It wasn't like he'd ever been this safe before on his human nights since his mother had passed.
He awoke when he heard the creaking of the floorboards. Years of running, hiding, of being in constant fear for his life made him sleep lighter than anyone. His eyes shot open without a second thought and his hand reached to his unusable sword. The look of horror on Kagome’s face snapped him out of his stupor and he quickly righted himself.
"S-sorry. You snuck up on me," he admitted groggily.
"It's okay. I'm sorry. I should have let you rest… I just… I didn't like how we ended our conversation. But, we can talk about it in the morning," she whispered as she stood back up and turned to head back to the futon. He grabbed her hand before she stepped out of range. 
"No. Dawn is not far away. We can talk."
"O-okay. If you're sure," she muttered sitting back down beside him.
"I don't usually sleep on these nights anyway. I usually don't-- can't relax."
"I'm sorry I made you feel like you were being ogled. I don't want you to feel like that. I also want you to know, I do accept you. Just the way you are."
"I should be the one apologizing. I know all that. If you didn't feel that way, you would have killed me the dawn after we were attacked. But you didn't. You haven't. And you still continue to offer protection to me even though you know what I am. I think I was just so hell bound to not let my emotions get out of control that I took the tension away by blowing up on you over nothing." He looked into her eyes that were glued to his. She was so invested in everything he was saying to her it was unreal… It made him full vulnerable, weak, shit, he needed to say something so she didn't think he was in love with her. Even though he was-- but he promised himself not yet!! "Don't think you'll get another apology out of me in the morning. I won't feel guilty or nothing then. You're only getting this because of my weak human emotions."
Her giggle sounded just as beautiful in his human ears as in his demonic ones, "Of course not. But just so you know, I love you as a half-demon. I was just curious how human you actually were. That's why I studied you so closely. I'm sorry if I made it seem like I prefer this form of you. But you're still you. I'm happy to just be by your side.”
He was officially blushing. “You-you what??”
“I said I--” her eyes widened at her recollection of what she said. “Uhhhh--I mean--I--oh darnit! I didn’t mean it like that--oh Gods, please don’t be weird now. I’m sorry! I wasn’t thinking!” When she caved in on herself, his heart broke a little. She was hiding her beautiful eyes from him but he could see her body rack with sobs just like earlier. Why couldn't they get this right?
“Hey--hey--why are you crying??” he said 
“I blew it! Please don’t go! I-I can’t lose another friend! Please-- you’ve been my only friend for so long--please, I can’t lose you too! I’ve lost everyone.”
He held her in his arms as she cried. She was genuinely scared by her admission to preferring his half demon form--terrified he was going to up and leave…
Not that he could blame her. He lacked… tactfulness. While they had their tender moments, he still avoided his ‘feelings’. Which was why he was nervous as all hell about the new moon. But this actually may have worked to his advantage. She may not want to talk anymore until dawn--since she, like him, always had a knack for speaking without thinking. If his demonic self was still present it would be rumbling with pleasure of how like minded they were.
“Hey, I’m not going anywhere okay?” he tried to soothe her with a lesser gruff voice.
“Wh-what…”
“What, Kagome?”
“What about when this is all over? What then?”
“Dunno. Guess we’ll figure it out then, huh?”
“You don’t have to stay with me… You’ve more than repaid anything you owed me. If anything, I owe you more than I could--”
“Shut up. Unless you actually want me to go because you’re tired of me, because you actually don’t want to be with me, then I’m staying right here. Okay? You’re not alone anymore…” I’m not alone anymore.
“What if… I never ask you to leave…?” she asked hesitantly. Her voice was so small. So unsure.
Think first. Think first. Think first. Think first-- “We’ll see how you feel when this is all over… I don’t want to be the person you choose because I’m the only one here.”
“O-oh…” she said disheartenedly. Why was she sad now?! That was a perfect answer! He was actually proud of himself for actually thinking!!!
“What now?” Oops. There went his mouth.
“N-nothing,” she said trying to push out of his arms.
“No, not ‘nothing’, what?? Is that not the answer you were looking for?”
“I just don’t like that you think that I like you because I’m that lonely,” she admitted hotly.
“That’s not--”
“No,” she said as she finally weasled her way out of his arms to glare at him with those sparkling blue raging eyes. Oh God, he needed to take a deep breath and control himself before he did something he completely regretted. Although he knew he'd never regret it. He’d regret if he never smashed his lips to hers--taste that sweet mouth of hers, see if it tasted anything like he fantasized about nightly. “That’s exactly what you meant. Gods, I’m so stupid--”
“Kagome stop--” he grabbed her arms to stop her from pushing away further from him.
“Would you just let me go!! I’m embarrassed enough!”
“Could you be any more impossible, wench?!!”
“Yes! Now for the last time--”
“I’m not letting you go and you can’t make me!!”
“Wanna bet, jerk?!”
“Wench--”
“How charming,” a new voice rang through the hut.
They both jumped at the sound of the intrusion and he shoved her behind him. Standing before them was some weird ass white baboon covered dude. How he got through Kagome’s barrier was puzzling--Inuyasha had learned even animals couldn’t pass into it. They couldn’t even get out of it once it was erected. How’d this crazy interrupting asshole manage to get in?
“You--” she gasped.
“You know this asshat?” Inuyasha growled.
“Oh, we know each other quite well. Don’t we, Ka-Go-Me?”
Inuyasha felt Kagome shiver at the mention of her name in such an intimate form. He placed his hand on her hip as she clutched onto his haori from behind. If he had his senses, he knew she would be reeking in fear. From the time he met Kagome to now, he never imagined he would see her so powerless. So flooded with fear she didn’t just attack--didn't purify him. She never mentioned if she even met this son of a bitch who was after her. ‘There are things much worse than death…’
“Shut the fuck up ya nasty piece of monkey shit,” he snarled.
“You traded down, Kagome. I’m disappointed. This human man is nothing compared to me. I expected more from you… Well, I was about to get more until you disappeared, that is,” the evil fuck cackled. 
“I told you to shut up!!!!” Inuyasha said finally lunging at the demon who was clearing playing with them. 
“My, my, aren’t you an angry one?” He dodged his advance and swung around. Inuyasha gasped as he saw the baboon leap back towards Kagome. 
“Kagome!!!” He said rushing back to her side only to be slammed up against the opposite wall of the hut Kagome was near. He cringed but struggled to get back up.
“Inuyasha!!” Kagome cried, pressing herself against the wall of the hut as if it would swallow her to protect her. It enraged Inuyasha to see her so frightened and helpless. What the fuck was this creature?! It was no ordinary demon!
“Get away from her!!” He pulled his sword in its sheath from his belt and tried to use the barrier of the scabbard to beat off the tentacles. 
“You shall not keep me from my mate, human,” the baboon chuckled as he knelt to Kagome. She thrust her hand forward and tried to purify him but he held no reaction to her outburst in power. Her eyes wide with disbelief, she quickly closed them and screamed.
Dawn was still at least an hour away, but Inuyasha had enough. He tackled the demon away from her. “Kagome!!! Your bow!!!”
He held on for dear life as the crazy fuck wiggled about trying to get Inuyasha off. Inuyasha ended up dropping the sword and tried to keep the baboon pinned while Kagome scrambled to the hut's entrance to grab her bow.
“B-but--it won't--”
“It’s a doll!! That’s why your purification isn’t working! Why he was able to enter! Shoot him with your arrow--strike the heart!!”
“Ku ku ku, clever man, aren’t you? Not clever enough though.” Inuyasha twitched at his words only to feel a tentacle pierce through his back to his abdomen. He didn’t even recognize the scream of pain as his own let alone the scream of his name Kagome cried.
He fell to the ground hard as he realized what he had grasped onto disappeared into dust. Opening his eyes he saw her beautiful tear-stained face hovering over his. He felt his eyes grow heavy and prayed silently that sunrise wasn’t as far away as he originally calculated.
Kagome was a woman of many secrets.  Secrets of which she was learning were costing everyone their vitality. 
It was just a month ago she escaped her imprisonment. She had never wanted to return. Originally when she learned she was being hunted, she tried to seek help from monks, priests, demon slayers to only discover her name was being tarnished. Her family still believed her virtue… however the villagers began to question it as more and more demons began to attack. 
She said her goodbyes to her friends Shippo and Koga who resided in the wolves den--well--it a vague goodbye. They didn’t know it was a full parting she was going to do. They only thought she was leaving for the day after playing with Shippo and the wolf cubs. She had gone up to check on Koga’s mate--Ayame. She was due with the twins any day and she had wanted to be there for her… Breaking promises was something she wasn’t good at; but she kept hers to herself to keep them all safe from Naraku.
Kagome took it upon herself to save her family, her village, by doing the only thing she could do; she left in the middle of the night without a word. She began traveling to the only place she could think that may help her-- Mount Hakurei.
A couple times she managed to secure a hut by using exorcism but more times than not, her face had been used in deceit like with the monks and exterminators--they said she brought calamity upon the village. That she was cursed. That she was a dark priestess. That she should be hung for her crimes…
She eventually got used to sleeping in the woods. Luckily it was still warmer; she wasn’t sure what she would do come winter. Hopefully the villages near the mount would be pure enough the demon couldn’t taint their minds with lies and she could finally live in peace there.
Never once had Kagome questioned why she was being chased, hunted, or pursed… whatever way it was worded, it was true. Naraku wanted her--in more ways than one. The main reason was her power. She had been born with a greater power than any other miko on record. After some serious meditation, it was discovered by her great-aunt, Kaede, that she was born with the Shikon no Tama within her. Stories were passed down in their family about the tale of the shrine maiden who ended the war between demons and humans by sacrificing her own soul to imprison the hordes of demons within it. From the act of engulfing the demon souls with her own, the jewel was born. It had been passed on from priestess to priestess from eons and then it disappeared for half a century as one priestess had it burned with her body.
The priestess, Kikyo, claimed the jewel was cursed. From the legends and stories, she was likely correct. The shrine maidens that were given the duty to protect it often met an unfortunate and quick end to their lives. She too, suffered at the hands of a former suitor whose motivation was greed for the jewel. With her dying breath, she demanded the jewel to follow her in death...only then it was reborn in Kagome.
Kagome’s family were the only ones who knew of the jewel's continued existence within her. They were unsure how a strange demon had learned about her let alone the jewel, but it became evident that he would stop at nothing to possess her.
Before she even made it to a village near the mount she was taken. When she awoke from the forcible grab, she was in darkness. She could only hear laughter, feel slight caresses on her flesh… She honestly thought she was in hell. What was worse was the utter silence when there was no sound of chuckling. She had no idea where her captor was--let alone who he was or what he truly intended to do with her. When there was silence, she often checked to see if her hymen was still intact; she didn’t know if he had drugged her and violated her, or if he took her and she just blacked out from the trauma.
One day, or night, she wasn’t sure how long she was there for, but she started to count when she was awake between visits of her psycho captor and when she got to five thousand for the first time, she knew she was likely completely alone. She invoked her power and was able to see--and gods she wished she hadn’t. Completely surrounded by demons, flesh, blood, and remains, she almost lost her sanity. But she needed to escape. She could break later. She had to remain strong until then. 
Sneaking out, as carefully as she could, she finally saw light as she climbed the rocking surfaces. Touching and testing each place before she firmly grabbed or placed her foot, the climb out of her little hole took likely hours. By the time she got through the hole of the cavern she was in, the light was almost all gone. It was sunset when she finally emerged. She found her clothing and barely wrapped her bindings before her shaky hands threw on her pants and kimono top. Her breathing was ragged but she kept it quiet--kept it under control because she would not be discovered. She would not go back there. She had NO intention of learning what the freak had actually wanted with her other than the jewel.
Thankfully she saw a pile of weapons aside additional clothing. She grabbed a bow with a quiver of arrows before she started her unfortunate descent of the mountain she apparently climbed from the inside.      
     By the time she made it back down to the forest floor, it was night time. The moonless night. She tried to think back to the moon she was taken on… or right before rather. She wanted to say it had been a full moon. But she wasn’t sure if it had been two weeks or over a month's time since she was in that hell hole. 
She was about to sit down to rest when she heard them; laughter. Hissing. Tongues licking lips. Claims of a tasty treat… then the recognition she belonged to Naraku. That whisper was enough to refuel her. 
Running for her life, from uncertainty and evil, she wasn't sure how long she could hold out. She was already so drained she couldn't pull any of her power to the surface without passing out. That was when she heard a call. She turned her head and saw a man dressed in red. He had long black free flowing hair and the most piercing violet eyes she had ever seen on anyone. 
"This way!!" 
Deciding not to wonder why that handsome man was even wandering around in the deep forest in the middle of night, she ran to him and followed him. He seemed like he knew where he was going. She figured even if it was a trap, she wouldn't last not following him. It was ultimately a possible lose lose situation. But he seemed… trustworthy even if it was just from a distance. 
He ran farther ahead of her; it was almost like he was avoiding her. Did he recognize who she was? In her haze of anxiety and onsetting fatigue, she tripped and fell into a tree that laid on the ground. She heard a couple of her ribs crack upon impact more than she felt it. 
"Ahhhh!" 
He must’ve heard her cry out as he was instantly pulling on her arm to rise, "Get up or I'll leave you behind!!"
"Just--just go," she said defeatedly.
"Let's get one thing straight here wench, I'm not out here riskin' my ass so you can give up! Now move it!!"
She couldn't believe his determination. It was weird. Why was he so set on helping her? Was he lonely too??
Trying to stand she cried out and grasped her chest, "M-my ribs--"
"Fuck!" He stood in front of her, his hand stiffly on his sword.
"You--you should go. Please. It's okay, I appreciate your help."
"Shut up, you got me involved the minute you entered the forest with this scum."
"I'm sorry," she breathed looking down at her hands clenching the ground. 
"If you're sorry, you'll get outta here."
"What?" She looked up to see the back of his head.
"Are you deaf or dumb?! I said run!!" Before she could stand she saw the demons charging for her. She grabbed her bow and groaned as she shot off an arrow and blew a portion of them away. Unfortunately she must've distracted the man as a couple knocked him off his feet and attacked his chest.
His scream was what awoke whatever power she thought was drained. She launched arrow after arrow destroying the pack of youkai that surrounded them. Kneeling next to him, he was her priority to save. One demon got too close and knocked the bow from her and two others wrapped around to restrain her hands. She felt burning pain as they stretched her out to open her for attack. Two more came at her and bit down on her stomach and another lunged for her heart. If not for the man by her who was groaning and leaking blood she doubted she would have fought to survive. 
A bright light engulfed her and she was briefly lost. The only thing that snapped her mind back into reality was feeling the rise and fall of the man who risked his life for her. Her eyes popped open and she noticed they were covered in ash, blood, and guts. She sensed another round of demons were on their way. Standing unsteadily, feeling the burning stabbing pain of her cracked ribs, she grabbed her bow and then grabbed the man's arms and started to drag him the direction he previously was headed. She winced as she put pressure on her right leg, realizing it was likely broken when she purified the demons when they dropped her and twisted her on their way back to hell.  
She finally saw what the guy was originally leading them to--a hut. It was old; the wood looked rotted and the reed door was barely hanging on but it didn't matter--it would do.
She got him inside before she finally collapsed on the floor and crawled back out the door. She drew two markers by the doors, the star-based shape she was named after into the dirt in front of the door and began to pray. She prayed for the man’s safety. She prayed for the man’s health. She prayed to be able to make it to tomorrow...
The barrier was erected and she made her way back inside and scavenged for bandages. Thankfully there was already a pot of water above the fire pit and logs were ready to be lit. She lit the fire and boiled the water. As the water was being cooked, she opened the man’s kimono and gasped at the slashes the demons had made. His skin was ripped apart and she wasn’t sure how far the damage went down… She could see his organs, blood leaked loosely from his stomach. If she had anything of substance in her stomach, it would have come up. She had to use her power one more time. Just once more. To heal him as much as she could. 
Hovering her hands over his torn abs, she drew her power once more to the surface. She honestly thought she might die then. He was draining her--slowly. Once she noticed his organs were fully enclosed, she began to clean him and bandage him. Her breath ragged and her mind foggy, she collapsed onto him right before dawn. His aura pushed her back into consciousness. She hadn’t even been on him for a minute. Trembling, she studied the change that occurred within him…
His hair faded to the most beautiful silver colors, his fingernails lengthened and thickened to claws, his ears grew pointed and shifted to the top of his head. He--he was a half demon. He… he showed her his time of weakness. Oh Gods, he placed so much faith and trust in her. He almost died for her.
Her.
Kagome. The reincarnation of Kikyo, the keeper of the Shikon no Tama. The woman whose reputation was ruined by a monster. Rumored to be the mate of a demon... and allowed that demon to kill, eat, and destroy villages for fun. The idea of being mated to a demon was not the thing that disgusted her--it was the fact he said she was his mate. 
Was it possible to fall for someone you just met? Was it possible you never wanted to be without them? The very idea of them leaving your life physically hurt, even though you didn’t even know their name? Was it possible that… he was actually her mate? Could that be sensed because of her spiritual powers? But… would he know? Half-demons were so rare. Would he be able to tell if what she was feeling was real?
Honestly, she could say she had never been in love. She never felt ‘lust’ or ‘desire’ for anyone in her village. She had been on the receiving end of those feelings along with love, but she never felt like she could reciprocate. Truthfully she thought it was the jewel. Her duty was to the jewel. She had no time or desires to be with a man because her sole purpose in life was to guard the jewel. Just like the other shrine maidens before her…
But now she was confused. She knew Hojo--they grew up together. He fell in love with her. He courted her from the time they came of age until she left without a word. Even though her family had agreed, she never had intentions on marrying him. Even her other best friend, Koga, had taken interest in her. But thankfully he found his actual mate and backed off. She loved Ayame and Ayame held no bitterness towards Kagome. That was how Kagome even learned of mates for demons. Not that she was upset with Koga for dropping her the moment he met Ayame, but she was curious why and how.
The way Ayame described it… was exactly how she felt right when she locked eyes with this demon. Well, locked eyes over his body. But was that possible? For a human to be able to discern a demon for their mate?
After on and off sleeping, changing his bandages, watching the sun rise and set for three days and the hanyou didn’t awaken, Kagome began to lose faith… She failed him. He was going to die. And it was all of her fault. The only mate or whatever he was, she was going to lose him. She truly believed that the jewel was cursed--correction--she was cursed.
She prayed. And prayed. And prayed. And prayed some more. Then she began to beg. She cried. Take her, not him. He saved her. He rescued her. Any Kami that would listen she groveled for the nameless half-demon's life. 
When he finally opened his eyes, his beautiful rich, golden eyes she felt her heartbeat quicken. Some of her strength returned just from the rush of relief while her body began to falter. She saved him. Thank the Gods.  His eyes met hers and she swore she felt the electricity between them… and then he opened his mouth. 
The Gods had a funny sense of humor that was for sure. While her mate was fucking gorgeous and absolutely mouth watering--he was a complete asshole! He had zero bedside manner, let alone any form of manners at all. He was gruff, rude, and ugh! She was so drained and exhausted she had no patience for dealing with her raging emotions and his complete distrust in the person who basically let herself die trying to save him.
Whatever. 
She didn’t care anymore. Hopefully she rested in stupid mother loving peace. She’d take the jewel back to hell and refuse to find nirvana. That was her new duty; to keep the jewel from ruining anyone else’s life.
But then she awoke to a massive surge of demonic aura. For a half demon, he was quite strong… 
Whoa. He was holding her. She fit perfectly in his arms. Oh Gods. If she had energy to be aroused, she likely would be. But she was in so much pain, she couldn't muster anything but burying her head in his chest. His scent was so comforting. It was like coming home. 
After she learned his name, she passed back out. Everything that happened was too overwhelming. Too much for her let alone her body to process. 
She almost killed him the next time he woke her. Her barrier had shattered. Son. Of. A. Bitch. Literally!!! She was going to murder him. When she sat up to ream him a new one, she realized two very crazy things: 1. She was completely naked aside from his haori and 2. Her wounds were healed… except for her broken bones. Oh Gods. Boundaries. They needed to talk about those. One would be when she is out of her mind with pain then things needed to be explained to her more thoroughly. Her fault really. She really wanted to feel better. She also didn’t want to leave him. 
Once he bade the demons away, their weird, highly tensioned relationship began. She was unsure if he thought she was his mate or not. He was so… stubborn. Off putting. Defensive. Quick to speak. 
Over the month they spent together though, it became a song and dance. Sometimes she thought he enjoyed rattling her. He enjoyed ‘poking the bear’. Jerk. He was very protective and provided for her. He literally helped her do everything. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. If she thought she was mortified over the fact he licked her naked body while she was asleep, she was gravely mistaken. Him having to help her take a leak in the bushes was hundreds times worse.
But he stayed by her--even though he didn’t have to. It slightly gave her hope that he too, felt the draw of mateship. She found herself trying to help him, coax him to go be with his family. Understand that he belonged. Teach him he wasn’t bad because he was half-demon… but then ended up whispering things to try to keep him. Asking him to stay.
She didn’t want him to feel like he owed her; he shouldn’t feel like he should just be by her because she didn’t want to be alone.
When she finally asked the impending question about what he thought if she never asked him to leave… she was heart broken. She really put it all on the line and he basically said that she just wanted him because she was a pitiful lonely girl who was crushing on the guy who was helping her.
She wasn’t that pathetic. How dare he insinuate that! She wanted him because she loved him!! Because all the tales of the red string of fate were true--she was bound to him just as he was bound to her!! He was just too stupid to realize it and ugh!!
Then she heard that dark chuckle that haunted her in the dark. 
Then she saw Inuyasha try to protect her.
Then she saw him drop to the ground…
She did as Inuyasha told her--she shot the bastard through the heart. She was so so so scared--her mind was so clouded in fear she didn’t even realize it was a demon puppet. How stupid was she?!!? 
Kneeling down next to him she saw the gaping hole in his gut and feared for his life--again. This was why she asked him to leave her. This. This right here! She couldn’t allow this man to sacrifice himself for her. The jewel’s existence was her curse. But somehow it was starting to affect him. 
She cared so deeply for him--it was hard to ask him to stay but also tell him to go. Maybe she should have been more forceful! Maybe she should have been meaner… Ugh! Who was she trying to play? She could never treat him like that. He didn’t deserve that; after everything he confided in her, after everything she had been through in the last couple months, she would never treat him so coldly to leave.
His eyes were closed but dawn was approaching. Slowly. Too slowly. He had lost too much blood; she had to heal him again. Closing her eyes she drew her power to the surface and fed it into his battered body. She was strong enough this time to fully close his wound--but that didn’t mean it still didn’t drain her. Feeling part of herself drift back into him, she collapsed onto his chest again and breathed raggedly. 
Damn. He’d probably kill her if he knew what she was doing. Giving away her life force to heal him. But that was just another secret she’d take to the grave with her. If he wasn’t her mate like she thought, he’d move on. It would all be okay; she’d just be the woman who opened his heart and taught him to love and trust. If she was his mate, they’d figure out a way to fix it…
She closed her eyes unable to move herself from his chest. His scent calmed her and soothed her. He would be okay. He would be okay. He would be okay. Even if she wouldn’t be.
Inuyasha felt his youki pulse through him; the change woke him this time. The revelation startled him-- hadn’t he been run through the gut with a tentacle? On his human night? Shouldn’t he have bled out??
He started to sit up, pressing a hand to his head from the massive headache he had when he realized there was weight sitting upon him. His eyes shot open when he sat up and the weight fell to his lap. Looking down he was met with long black locks. It was Kagome!!
“Kagome!” He grasped the young woman on his lap and flipped her over. Her breathing was ragged, sweat glistened down her face,  and she was unresponsive. What the fuck?! What happened?! Was she hurt somehow?? 
He examined her in his arms, sniffed to discern why she seemed like she was in discomfort and came up with nothing. No injuries, no wounds; if anything, her aura was depleted but he was surprised due to the length she held her barrier up. 
Shaking her, he called her name until he finally saw her eyes clenched tightly as if she was trying to regain consciousness. 
"Ughhhh…" she groaned weakly.
"Kagome." Her name fell from his mouth with a gentleness he didn't think he actually possessed. When her sapphire eyes finally appeared he exhaled thankfully and pulled her closer to his body. He didn't give a shit about putting distance between them at that moment; he was just thankful she was awake.
"Kagome what happened?"
"I shot him; the puppet disintegrated and…" She seemed reluctant to finish her train of thought. He knew she did something she likely shouldn't have done… something that he would likely be angry with.
"And what then? Why am I breathing without a scratch? Don't lie to me either, " he warned with a low growl.
She averted her eyes and snuggled into his chest, "I can't tell you. "
"What do you mean you 'can't'?"
"Exactly as it sounds."
"Kagome--I know you have secrets. I do too. Obviously we haven't known each other that long but I know for a fact that some of these secrets are putting you in danger.  I can't help you if you're not open with me."
"I can handle this myself," she said stubbornly.
"Pft, right. That’s why you were trembling behind me when that crazy fuck entered the hut. Who was that anyway? What is your history with him?”
“That’s none of your business!” she yelled sitting up and trying to push away from him. He wasn’t having any of that though--his hold remained firm and he growled low..
“The fuck it isn’t my business! Look here--I’ve almost died twice now saving your hide you better own up to what the hell is going on between you and that sick fuck!”
“Inuyasha! Just DROP it!!”
“Kagome!”
“STOP--” she commanded slamming her hands balled up into fists against his chest, his hands still tightly around her arms to keep her from moving away from him. 
Before he knew it, he had pinned her on her back and was snarling in her face. Her hands were secured above her head and she looked at him fearfully. The beautiful blues made him realize what had happened; her reluctance and obstinance made his inner demon emerge. It was pissed off by the fact she was disregarding her own safety. The fact she was keeping such big secrets from him made it decide it was time to make her submit.
He threw himself off of her and jumped to the doorway; he needed to calm down. Fuck. He hadn’t lost control like that in centuries. Was it because she was his destined mate? Even then though, he usually found her spunk and fury arousing--charming… right then it made him pissed to the point he scared her. He was a monster. She would never accept him now.
When he felt a hand on his arm he pulled away from her without thought. Her gasp made his ears pin to his head and he turned his sadden eyes to hers. She looked worried. Crap. 
“What?!” he spat.
“Inuyasha,” she said softly.
“You didn’t wanna talk right? That’s fine. I’ll give you your space,” he turned back to go out the door.
“No!! Please!! Stop!! I’m sorry!!”
“Whatever Kagome. Maybe you were right. Maybe I should just go; obviously I’m just as untrustworthy as the monkey-shit that just strolled on in. He clearly knows you better than I do. Maybe you shoulda just gone with him. He probably could protect you better than I can since I keep getting myself basically killed trying to keep you safe from yourself.”
He knew he was being harsh. He knew he was reacting in the worst way possible. To be fair, he was doing what he did best--he was pushing her away before she could leave him. When he saw her face, it looked like he struck her the way her face was shaped. He hit below the belt.
The history between her and that demon obviously was extensive enough for the nasty asshole to be claiming she was his mate. Yes, it was a lie. Mates were only linked to each other and no one else. But this crazy fuck obviously was different from the rest. Who knows? Maybe the Gods did link her up to him and an actual demon because he was a half-breed. Unworthy of the beautiful goddess she was. 
She deserved better. He would push her to that point; force her to see she needed someone who could fully protect her. Someone who could support her. Someone who she could take back to her village and not be ridiculed for being with. A man who was not a half-breed. Someone who was not him.
When she didn’t reach out to him, he stepped outside the hut and hung by the barrier waiting for her to lower it. He knew he had to leave her. After what he just did to her, he was likely no better than the baboon. He shouldn’t have her trust. He shouldn’t be allowed to be near her.
“You… You really want to leave?”
“You have ears don’t you?”
“Inuyasha… why…”
“You said so yourself didn’t you?? That I should leave--that I repaid you enough. This last save between us officially made us even.”
“Is… I... Please--no--”
“Lower your barrier, bitch,” he growled knowing she detested that word.
“Do you hate me now?? What happened?! Because I don’t want to share you’re just leaving?! Running away?!!? After everything!!??”
“After what? We’ve been in this shithole for a month. That’s nothing. It isn’t even enough to trust each other, stupid. I’m proving it to you right now; I refuse to be by someone who is hiding their life. Especially when it involves me basically dying every month. I don’t need that. I’ve survived centuries being alone. I prefer loneliness over dying for a pitiful excuse for a human like you.”
Her gasp hurt him. It physically hurt him. He felt like he was ripping his own heart out. A soft thud onto the dirt almost made him turn around until he saw the barrier start to waver.
“Wh-why…?” Her voice was trembling. It was so small, timid. 
“Do you need a list? You’re worthless. You’re so weak you can’t even keep your head held up when you use your powers; you let a demon slip right through your barrier. What kind of priestess are you? Probably a tainted one. I could smell demons on you the moment I woke up in this hut after the last new moon. Do you just whore yourself out to anyone who shows interest in you? Is that why you’re ‘in love’? You’re a stupid little girl who has no idea what love actually is or what it means to be in love with someone. You’re just looking for your next conquest. You make me sick.”
“Inuyasha--please--”
“No, girl. Just lower the barrier before I make you do it for me.”
“N-no… I--I won’t!”
“You’re that desperate?!” He chastised finally swinging around realizing the mistake in the action. She was looking at him in full determination, tears trapped in those deep oceaniantic eyes.
“No!! I’m just that serious about you, Inuyasha!!”
“Shut up and let me out,” he said as harshly as he could but it came out muddled with thick regret.
“Make me. You said you’d make me,” she cringed as she pulled herself up using the doorway as a brace. She stood tall and firm. “Go on. You don’t care--you don’t like me?? Fine. Then force me!!!”
“Don’t tempt me bitch. I’ll rip you apart like you’re nothing at all. I already told you earlier tonight didn’t I? As a human nonetheless, that I doubt you’ll feel like you wanna be with me when this is all over. That was my weak way of saying I’m out of here. But I have always been more about self-preservation anyway. Two brushes with death is enough for a lifetime. Now. Let. Me. Out,” he hissed with the facade of menace standing less than a foot away from her now.
“I’m waiting for your threats to be real. If I have learned anything about you, Inuyasha, it is that you are all bravado. You are just doing this to save some sort of face… Yes, your words hurt. Yes, you’re breaking my heart. Yes, I don’t know if we’ll actually recover from the damage you’re trying to inflict, but, I’m not willing to let you go.”
He was stunned and his face likely didn’t even bother hiding it. Did she really know him that well? How did he actually allow himself to get that close to her to where she knew this pattern about him? Fuck…
He couldn't physically hurt her. Never. Neither his human or demon half would ever allow such a thing. He tried the emotional route only because he thought it would protect her. Even though he pushed her away, he could always watch her from the trees.  Protect her without her ever truly knowing. But now, he may have unknowingly set his fate in just a lifetime of friendship. Whatever. This was the lot he had been given. This would be the lot he would take.
"Why are you hanging on so hard? After everything I said--how--"
"Because I'm not everyone else, Inuyasha. I know you. You'll be just as heartbroken as I will be if you actually step out of this barrier…" she sighed leaning heavily on the door frame for support. It was like all the energy she was using was fake and she was her last reserve. He refused to help her; he was trying to prove she didn’t actually need him. In the end, he would hurt her. She was lucky she had snapped him out of his demonic rage. What if it happened again? What if she didn't pull him back?
We would never hurt our mate.
Yea. Right. Tell me she didn’t look afraid at the stupid showcase of dominance. What would have happened if she kept fighting?
We would have made her submit.
By force, jackass. Never. Our mate is safest away from you--away from me.
That is a foolish lie you are telling yourself, hanyou. Our mate is the safest in our protection.
Shut up!!! 
“Whatever. Start fucking talking. I’m outta here if I hear any bullshit,” he grumbled and tried as hard as he could to keep his eyes averted.
“You first--what the heck was that?!!”
“I’m asking the questions here, wench,” he pointed out, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Yea, let me explain to you how this will work, Inuyasha. It’s going to be a ‘you-go’ ‘I-go’ kind of thing. Since you just decided to up and leave all of a sudden after declaring you were there because you wanted to be, I want to know why?!”
He felt a jolt in power. She obviously was very pissed off or hurt, or the third option, both. Not that he could blame her; that was his goal. But she didn’t have the correct reaction. She was supposed to let him leave, he would watch her from afar, then kill the disgusting asshat who was stalking her. After that, she could return to her village, marry some nice guy, have his pups, grow old, then die. Then Inuyasha would move on with his life and reminisce about how he fucked it all up. But no, this woman was likely more stubborn than he was. 
“None of your business.”
“Uhm, actually, it is!!” Another surge flowed through her barrier. Was she just trying to scare him? Or were her powers acting on their own?
“Actually it isn't. Next question.”
“Inuyasha…” she warned.
“I said no, Kagome!! Next FUCKING question!!!”
Her pause made him look at her and he saw those beautiful blue eyes angier than he had ever seen them.
“I know what happened, Inuyasha. I’m a freaking priestess! I know your demonic half emerged when I was fighting with you. I know as a inu-youkai, the act of defiance in a pack is huge. I know you were making me submit. Now, tell me why?!!?”
Our mate is smart. You don’t give her enough credit, half-demon.
Shut. Up. Stay the fuck outta this! You’re the reason we’re even in this mess!
“I can’t tell you.”
“Why not!??! You were the one just going on about trust and everything else!! Can’t you extend the same courtesy?!?!”
“If you don’t shut up, you’re gonna end up in the same position!!”
“Good! Maybe your demon will be more talkative than you are!!!”
“Trust me, it doesn’t want to fucking talk!!”
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"Exactly how it sounds! It's my basic instincts--the most primitive animalistic part of me! The furthest thing from its mind is talking!! That part of me kills first and doesn't even turn around to ask why. Anything it deems as a threat to power or life is automatically cut down. It was over the fact you don't fucking listen! That you constantly put yourself at risk and don't bother to tell me why! I stayed with you to protect you! If you know what's after you and why I deserve to fucking know!!"
"I didn't ask you to stay!"
"Well you're certainly not letting me go either."
"Can't you just trust me?? That maybe I'm not telling you to protect you??!"
"We both know that's a load of bullshit because I’ll repeat myself just because I want you to see your face when I tell you how wrong you are: I. ALMOST. DIED. TWICE. I don’t know how you keep saving me, but face it Kagome, you’re not doing me any favors.”
He watched her face contort to discomfort and then shame. Her barrier dropped as did she into a slumped position against the doorframe. Sighing, he knew he got through to her. Maybe. Or maybe he broke her. As much as he wanted to lift her into his arms and carry her back into the hut, he knew he needed her to sweat. She needed to open up to him lest they have a repeat incident where he actually bit her--marked her without permission. Rutted her like the goddamned animal he was. 
“Just go…” she whispered.
“Are you… ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!?!!?” He felt his youki rising. What was wrong this--this--bitch?!
“I’m not going to tell you. You’re right though. You don’t need to be here because you’re just in danger. Go,” she waved her hand dismissively but her eyes were trained on the tattered reed hanging from the door.
He surprised her when he grabbed her by her hair and shoulders. Her gasp this time didn’t break his trance when he tilted her head to expose her neck to him. What shocked him though was he didn’t mark her--he just bit her enough to leave a bruise. Cocky demon half. He was lucky she only inhaled sharply and didn’t zap him into the next life. Remaining as still as he could while the growl that had been flowing through his chest kept a steady noise to break the now very awkward silence, he tried to figure out what she was going to do. Well, even what he was going to do.
When he felt the lick of her tongue against his cheek he unceremoniously dropped her. Whoops. Fuck. Shit. Dammit. He was actually at a loss for words. She stayed upright and caught his forearms. Her eyes looked into his as if making sure he was--well that he was back, he guessed. 
“Happy?” she asked hesitantly. He must’ve forgotten how to talk though. Communicate in general. He was stuck just staring at her. Wasn't even sure how he was gazing at her. Curiosity? Disbelief? Shock? 
"Are you… okay?" She asked tentatively, reaching up to stroke his cheek where she likely saw his jagged stripes. 
Well say something hanyou.
She submitted--just as we commanded. Pull yourself from your stupor. 
She… why…
Outloud moron.
Shut up and go the fuck away!!!
“Y-you---I---” Gods what the fuck was she doing to him?? Now he couldn’t speak.
“For someone who demanded I be the one to submit, it seems like you’re doing the opposite.”
He cleared his throat as best he could and averted his eyes. Because he was likely to bend down and kiss the fuck outta her if he didnt look away.
“His name is Naraku.” That caught his attention. “Have you heard of him?”
“Yea--my brother said he’s been running around for about half a century. No one knows what he looks like outside of the fact he typically wore an animal suit. Even then, nothing has ever been confirmed. He’s… trouble to say the least.”
“Yea…” she said suddenly anxious.
“Why does he want you? Why is he claiming you’re his mate?”
“I--I don’t know.”
“You’re lying…” he hissed.
“I honestly don’t know why he claims I’m his mate! That’s not a lie!”
“But you do know why he wants you.”
“It’s a secret that has been passed down in my family for generations. It’s something not shared with demons or anyone.”
“Well whatever little secret you’re hiding, it’s about to cost you your life,” he clipped. And mine… If you die Kagome, I’ll die.
“Inuyasha please--I think it’s just best if--”
"Just fucking stop, wench." He was exasperated. He'd have better luck torturing Sesshomaru for information. Maybe they needed a break. He could calm his nerves; she could… figure her shit out. "I'm gonna go."
She looked down, her breath hitching. Sighing, he grabbed her face to look at him so their eyes met. "I'm not leaving. I just need a minute. My instincts are all riled up. You're… well, emotional and panicking over nothing. But this isn't working.  You have to agree with that. What's dumb as fuck is I'm the one saying this. You're the one who's supposed to be good at the words and crap. Go rest. You better be ready to talk after you sleep."
He released her face and began to turn away when he felt her arms wrap around his waist and clench his haori. Gazing down at her, he was again at a loss for words. 
"I'm sorry Inuyasha."
"Keh, whatever.  Not the first time someone's tried to kill me; it won't be the last."
"N-no. I… I swear it's not that I don't trust you. I just don't want you to look at me differently. Our…" Her pause was apparently taken to contemplate her next words carefully. "--friendship means so much to me. I can't-- I just-- please--"
"I'm just going for a run. You have been awake all night. As a human, I know you're tired. As a priestess I know you're drained. I won't be far enough away where you can't sense my aura."
She was quiet as she clung to him. One second she's ordering him to go, the next she can't bear the idea being without him. What did that twisted fuck do to her? 
"I really need you to get your head on straight. I can't be the only one actually thinking."
When her resounding silence was her answer yet again and her hold did not diminish, he began to growl.
"Kagome! Can you fucking answer me!!" Growling he finally grabbed her arms and pulled them from around him. Her legs gave out and she ended up being held up by his hands on her forearms like a doll. "What the fuck?! Kagome?!" Her eyes were closed and she was out cold. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!!
He picked her up and cradled her body to him. It finally dawned on him that Kagome was right; he needed to go back to Sesshomaru. Even if Kagome never told him her secrets she was hiding, he needed his brother's help to save her. He honestly might know what she was hiding. Stepping inside the hut, he grabbed her bow and quiver. There was nothing else of value. The hut had served its purpose. It was a shelter. It was their safe haven. But no more. It was time to leave and find a new home. Start a new journey. A journey towards trust and hopefully, of love.

One shot Hiroto x Atsuya/ #Hiroatsu
Heya one shot for @calmystorm-saltycandy and @shawn-and-aiden-frost-9. :3
Hope you enjoy!
--
PoV: Atsuya~
"Atsuuuyaaa?" yelled Shirou from downstairs. "WhaaAAATT?" I screamed back. "Come down please"-"ughhhh" I tried my best to leave my bed but it was just too hard. So I just turned around and fell asleep again. Something cold hit me suddenly and I yelp because of the shock. I felt my wet clothes on my skin. Wait wet?
I looked up and saw Shirou with an empty bottle in his hand. "ANIKI DID YOU JUST-" I couldn't even finish speaking. "Yes I did because you ignored when I asked you to come down."-"HOW DARE YOUUUU" Shirou sighted. "change your clothes." I heard Shirou say before he was leaving the room. I rolled out of bed and changed into some dry clothes. I leaved my room and I was on my way downstairs when I rembered that I forgot my phone. So I quickly toke my phone and wrote Hiroto a good morning.
I sat besides Shirou who was already eating breakfast but I wasn't. I wrote more with Hiroto. I asked him how he slept and if he dreamed well. I wanted to write 'do you miss me' but I stopped and deleted it. Little did I know that Shirou was watching me typing and was now smirking. I sighted. I couldn't ask Hiroto if he is missing me. He would think that I am crazy or something like that.
After breakfast Shirou came back into my room. "Hey Atsuya?"- "what?" I was kinda annoyed because I just wanted to write Hiroto. alone. "I wanted to visit Tatsuya annnd I wanted to ask if you are coming with me? please?"-"hell no, Aniki"-"please Atsuya! Can't you come with me visiting Tatsuya?"-"wait... Tatsuya is the captain and redhead from the alien team, right?" Shirou nodded. "ARGH... okay fine I'm coming too."-"thank you, Atsuya!" Shirou leaved my room once more and I smirked. Hehe~ Hiroto will be happy to hear that we are coming to visit them. While I was thinking if I should write Hiroto that we are coming or not. Sat my brother in his room and texted Tatsuya that everything worked out and that he needs to talk to Hiroto.
Tatsuya:
I read Shirous message and chuckled. So I need to do my work too. "HIROTOOO" I shouted. "WHAT?!" I heard him yelling. "TODAY ARE COMING SOME VISITORS"-"I DON'T CARE?!" I walked to his room. But he locked the door. "Okay... then I will tell Shirou and Atsuya that youuuuu don't care about them" he unlocked the door and said "WHAT NOO ARE YOU CRAZY?". I just turned around without saying anything "I need to clean up" I heard him mutter. And seriously I have never seen Hiroto cleaning up this fast.
After some time I heard the doorbell. So I opened the door and saw Shirou and Atsuya.
Atsuya just ran past me and right in Hiroto's arms. "Awww" said Shirou and I together.
back to Atsuya.
"Where is your room?" I asked Hiroto and he just took my hand and lead me to his room. Okay, don't be so nervous. It's okay. Don't freak out! It's just the first time you see his room. DON'T PANIC!! Be calm.
So we entered his room and it was... kinda empty. I was nothing special in it. Except on his bed. There is a plushie. A big plushie star. I threw myself on his bed and cuddled with the plushie star. But it was quiet. No more like silence. Hmh what should we even talk about? We are writing all day. I can't think of a topic to talk about. "Uhm how was practice?" Hiroto asked and I nearly laughed. "Hun, it's about 10 in the morning when do you think am I practicing?"-"Oh r-right" he just turned away. embarrassed. Cuuuutteee~ heh. "Sooo are youuu embarrassed Hiroto-samaaaaaa~" It don't hurt to tease him right? He just blushed like a mess. "D-don't call me that!"-"but whhyyy Hiroto-samaaaa~? Do you feel embarrassed?"-"NO I DON'T IT'S JUST STUPID SO SHUT UP" he said a biiiit louder. "oh WEEEELLLL" I got up and stood in front of him. I leaned down.
I whispered in his ear: "make me~" I think I teased to much. Weeell to late. Hiroto pushed me against the wall and kissed me like an idiot. stupid brat but I love him. I kissed back and I felt him enjoying it. After some more kisses we starred at each other and started laughing. "never thought our first kiss would happen like that" I nod "me neither" Hiroto hugged me suddenly and started talking. "ohh really? But you said "make me" so it's your fault"-"Ahaha maybe I did that on purpose?"
After a few hours I saw a Video online about me running into Hiroto's arms and oh my god can I please just teleport somewhere else?
I showed it to Hiroto and he already knew who posted this. Tatsuya and Shirou made this Video and posted it online.
I'm gonna kill Aniki for that for sure. So the rest of the day we tried to find Aniki and Tatsuya so that we could kill them. Oh boy that will be funny when we find them. Believe me!
--
Finishhhh XD gooood pls don't kill me. I wrote the last time...
Like a year ago? if there are some mistakes please don't be mad XD English isn't my first language and I am still learning it! As long as you can understand it.... it's okay I think? XD

BTS Reacts: Something Bad Happening To You
request: The first one is BTS reacting when something bad happened to you, like collapsing from too much work or something like that(...)
a/n: duuuuuude this is so good thank youuuuu
masterlist
Tumblr media
Jin: 
You had been working hard lately, staying up late, staying at work longer, taking work home with you, the whole nine yards. You were working on a project for your job in the city, your first big solo project, and you wanted to do well. You knew you had this in the bag, you knew what you were doing. However you didn’t know how irritable, stubborn, and careless you got when you were tired. Jin had been telling you to take it easy, and get some sleep, which only made you mad at him. How dare he tell me what to do? Does he not think I know what I’m doing? What gives him the right? He doesn't understand how important this is to you. You’d thought. If only you had listened. You were walking upstairs to your apartment from work one night, head in the clouds. Your eyes felt heavy, and your legs felt like lead, but it didn't matter. You just had one more form to type. As you take the last step up you close your eyes, and feel a sharp pain. 
You wake up in your apartment, with bandaids on your elbows, pajamas on, and face washed. There was a cup of warm hot-chocolate on your bedside table, and the door was left open a crack. You check the time, 08:37am, it read. You’d gotten home from work at 11:43pm last night, which meant you slept roughly 9 hours, something you hadn't done in a while. You can't remember walking in or changing into your pajamas or cleaning up. You also don't remember putting these bandaids on. You slide out of bed and shuffle into the living room to see Jin eating breakfast and watching tv. He gives you a disapproving look and you feel hot shame on your cheeks. 
“Y/n, I told you to take it easy. Instead you just stay out later and then I find out passed out from exhaustion outside!” He gets  up and walks over, arms crossed.
“Sorry Jinnie,” You hang your head in shame, and feel his arms wrap around you. 
“Don’t ever do that again, you scared me so much.” He hugs you close against him, and presses his lips to your head. 
Tumblr media
RM: 
You’d been out late every  night, always working. Always sneaking in at midnight and sleeping on the couch, waking up at 10 to an empty house, leaving for work, and starting the process over again. This cycle had continued for weeks, resulting in you missing out on seeing Namjoon almost every day. He’d texted you, asking you to come home so you could spent time together, but you gave him the same answer every night, “sorry, duty calls :/” Needless to say, he was annoyed with you. He stopped answering your texts when you sent them, trying to send a message about how annoyed he was with this. You rolled your eyes at his pettiness regardless. 
One night you were walking downstairs at work on your way out when you passed out from exhaustion, as you were running on your 14th hour without sleep. You woke up when you hit the ground, crying out in pain. You clutched your arm, and felt tears spring to your eyes. It was definitely broken. You shakily picked up your phone, dialing Joon’s number. 
“What.” He sighed.
“J-Joonie?” You started to ball. All pettiness aside, Namjoon felt his heart speed up. 
“What?! Where are you?! What happened?!” He was already out the door before you even answered, and he was by your side within minutes. He held you close and drove you to the hospital. He had a serious frown on his face as he drove, and bit his lip. 
“God Y/n, you scared me, you scared me so much. Please take care of yourself, I ask because I care,” He sighs and looks at you with big, nervous eyes.

J-Hope: 
“Please get some sleep Y/n, pleaseeee,” Hoseok whined over the phone, and you sighed looking at the clock. It was almost midnight, and you’d been practicing since 8am that same day. You worked at a dance studio, and you’d almost finished choreographing it. 
“Hobi I’m almost done, I’ll be home soon, okay? I love you.” you sipped your water and heard him sigh over the line. 
“I love you too, hurry up.” 
You sigh and go through the dance a few more times before you start to brainstorm what to add next. You felt your eyes get heavy as you spun and danced, and you felt your legs slowing down. Your whole body felt heavy, and you felt like you couldn't move any further. You went to pivot when your ankles twisted and you fell with a thud. You swore and massaged your now twisted ankle, and leaned on the wall. You propped it up and leaned back, closing your eyes. One short break wouldn't hurt. 
“AH Y/N!” Hobi’s scream wakes you with a start. 
“W-what?!” You yelp and yank your ankle in and hiss at the pain. Your ankle had swelled up while you slept, and looked pretty nasty now. You grimaced at that, and cringed as you looked at the time. It was 3am now, and Hoseok didn't look entirely happy with the situation. 
“Jagi I told you to get some sleep, and now you’re hurt. I just wish you’d listen to me,” he buries his face in his hands and sighs, helping you up off the ground. “Let’s take you home and ice that.” He helps you to the car and drives you both home, sending you nervous peeks the whole ride. As you walk in and get settled in bed, Hoseok walks in with the ice and wraps an icy towel around your ankle, kissing your head gently. “Please be careful from now on,”

Jimin: 
You were lost in thought, zoned out and staring at your computer screen. You were completely burnt out and you couldn't even think straight. Whenever Jimin got work crazy like this, you made him stop and take a break, and Jimin would do this for you in turn. But Jimin wasn’t home this week. He was in Thailand performing, and wouldn't be home till tomorrow. You wanted to have as much open time with him as possible, so you two could catch up and do whatever, so that’s why you were cramming today and tomorrow’s work into one day, and it was not fun. You’d been working for hours upon hours, and you knew you needed to get it done. 
You decided you needed a coffee break so you could finish up. You get up and stretched, not looking at the time. As you step outside your apartment, you gasp seeing it’s daylight. You frantically whip out your phone and check the time. 1:35pm. CRAPPPP HES GONNA BE HOME ANY MINUTE!!! You think. You still have so much work to do, and race back to your door. 
“Crap crap crap crap,” You mutter as you search for your key. Your eyes feel heavy, and your movements are sloppy as you search for the key. “I must’ve dropped it outside..” You tread back out and bend down to get the key when all the blood rushes to your head, and you pass out.
You wake up on the couch in the lobby of your apartment building, the manager panicking and several workers surrounding you, holding out waters and ice packs. 
“What happened..” You start to sit up and groan.
“You hit your head pretty hard when you fell, take it easy. Who should we call for you?” The manager looks concerned.
“Ah..” You don’t want to disturb Jimin, especially since he’s almost home.
“Y/N?!” Jimin suddenly pushes through and cups your head in his hands, a wild panicked look in his eyes. “I can take it from here, thank you so much.” Jimin thanks the workers and holds you while you explain what happened and he smiles sighing and shakes his head. “You crazy girl. I leave one time and you work yourself to the brink.” He kisses your head gently before giving you a serious look. “But really, don’t let his happen again Y/n, it’s not healthy. Now come on, lets go ice that crazy head of yours.”

Suga:
You were working on a huge project at work, and you really wanted it to go well. If your boss liked it, then a huge promotion was in store for you, so you were giving this your all. That meant late nights, long days, and bringing work home with you. You were used to Yoongi doing this with his own music, but he wasn't used to you doing this. He was used to having you pull him out of his deep work hole, and wasn't sure what to do without you there to be his anchor. He wasn't used to being the lonely one of you two. He would text you all day at work, call, and whine for your attention at home. And you, being so absorbed in your work didn't realize you were becoming just like him. Not responding to him, not taking care of yourself, loosing yourself in this project. 
He could see you weren't taking care of yourself, and finally understood what you went through so often when he got absorbed in his work, and he hated seeing you like this. He just wanted you to eat and sleep and spend time at home with him, an didn't understand what could make you snap out of this. 
He was dealing with it alright until one night you just did not answer anything. No call, no text, nothing. He was nervous already, and then you didn't come home. And then you didn't answer him all day. Now he was the one not eating or sleeping, because he was so worried about you. Finally at 1am, with you still not home he went to go check on you. 
Meanwhile, you'd thrown your everything into this project, and finally your lack of sleep and eating caught up with you, and you’d collapsed in your office. You’d told everybody to stay out so of course nobody had come in to check on you. 
He walks up and into your office and has a mini heart attack seeing you like this. He doesn't care about a lot of things, but you were probably the most important thing in his life, so to see you in this state killed him.
“Yah! Y/n!!!” He hurries to your side and scoops you up, setting you in a chair before running to get water and a snack. He shakes you awake and gets some water in you before you finally rouse. 
“Yoongi,” You smile a little, not really realizing the severity of the situation. 
“God Y/n, what’s the matter with you?! Huh?! Not taking care of yourself!! You could’ve been seriously hurt! I can’t believe you,” He rubs his face tiredly and sighs leaning on the table before he kisses your head gently. “Please take care of yourself, I need you to be okay.”

V:
You had been busy at your new job, and you wanted to make a good impression on your bosses, so you were giving work your all. This meant staying late, coming early, going out after work with your co-workers, the whole nine yards. You texted Taehyung every little update, and came home at a reasonable time every night, so everything was fine for a while. But soon your bosses started to take advantage of your generosity and your hard work ethic, giving you all the hard jobs and asking more of you than of anybody else. Taehyung could see this, but you were blinded by the glamour of being trusted with new responsibilities. 
“Jagi you should probably set some limits, they’re taking you away from me, and putting too much on you at work. This could get out of hand.” Tae said to you one night.
“This isn't too much, they just know I’m a great worker and are trusting me with this stuff.” You pouted, confused at how Tae wasn't being supportive anymore.
Soon Taehyng turned out to be right. Work was stressing you out more than anything, and you just wanted it all to stop. You didn't want Taehyung to worry, so you acted like it was all fine, and like you were enjoying it. 
One day he was out with the boys which meant you had the apartment to yourself. You started to work when you gave up and began to cry. You curled up on the couch and sobbed for a while before you got up to go make some tea. You were tired and shaky from all the crying and you dropped the mug you were using to make tea. It crashed and shattered on the floor, cutting your foot. You swore and gasped, more tears falling.
“Ow ow ow ow ow,” You hisses and wrapped your bloody foot in paper towels. You started to panic at the sight of all that blood, and your mind started to wander. Will I need stitches? Is there glass stuck in my foot?! Oh god oh goddddd..
Just then, Taehyung walked in and gasped at the sight of you, blood and tears and all. “Tae!!” You sobbed and he rushed to your side, checking out your foot. He carried you to the bathtub and cleaned your foot, repeating soft calming sounds as he cleaned you up. When you were taken care of, you explained what happened and he sighed and held you close to his chest. 
“Jagi please listen next time, I just want you to be okay.”

Jungkook: 
Jungkook had been busy with the Comeback, so while he was gone you decided to get a job to fill your time. At first it was good, because while he was busy, so were you. But one thing lead to another, and soon both of your jobs got so busy you two hardly see each other anymore. 
Your texts between each other became less and less, and your calls just the same. He was overworking himself with the comeback, and you were overworking yourself at your new job, and neither of you were there for each other. 
You’d stopped eating as well and sleeping as well now that you worked all the time, and especially without the presence of your beloved Jungkook. Needless to say, your health wasn't in the best shape. He’d been kind of coming down with something himself, so the both of you were in the same both. 
You came home early from work one day because you were definitely sick. You laid on the bed coughing and sniffling, struggling to find sleep. You laid in one of Jungkook’s shirts and realized how long you’d gone without seeing him. You reached over and grabbed your phone, clicking on his name to call. Just as you called him, you heard his phone ringing in the apartment. Confused, you rolled out of bed and groggily stumbled to find the phone when you saw Jungkook laying half asleep and mouth breathing on the couch.
“Kookie,” You coughed and smiled walking over and sitting next to him, pulling his head into your lap and stroking his head.
“Y/n,” He smiles sleepily and sits up, taking in your condition. “Wow, we really let ourselves go,” He kisses your head gently and pulls you into his lap as you catch him up on your life. “Well...I’ll take care of myself if you do.”
