#Kagome doll

[shinidamachu]

kagome higurashi, occupation: it girl

We're constantly talking about what a fashion icon Kagome is, but I haven't seen many actual analyses of her style or how it got translated from the manga to the anime, so I thought it was a fun, innocuous discussion to have this @inuvember. I'm not an expert on the subject by any means, but here's a compilation of my observations.

The first thing I noticed is probably the most obvious: she thoroughly enjoys showing off her legs, which she does by wearing an obscene amount of skirts, rarely jeans and never shorts, not even as a PJ.

The interesting detail is that she mostly pairs them off with a top that would completely cover her arms and shoulders, which is smart because puts her legs even more in evidence and brings an elegant balance to it. Sundresses seem to be the only exception to that rule:

Now, when it comes to prints, the anime left me the impression that she favors solid blocks of colors rather than especific patterns, but comparing to the manga it's easy to see that's just not true.

Not only does Kagome rock any print she wears, she also seems to have a preference for plaid variations.

Sadly we only got to see in the anime through the sundress above and the iconic Day of Days outfit (the high school uniform doesn't really count).

She likes her flowery patterns as well, although that's only really a thing in the manga. Of course, I understand Sunrise probably toned down this aspect of her clothing choices to make them easier to animate, but we can still mourn it.

The next one is particularly sad to me because it was one of my all time favorite manga outfit of hers and they replaced it with one she had used before in The Soul Piper and the Mischievous Little Soul.

The same outfit was recycled again in Sota’s Brave Confession of Love. It was literally copy and past, except for the colors.

And to add insult to injury, this was the original look:

Another thing that was pointed out by @kagomehigurashi in this amazing post is that her "stay at home" clothes are incredibly versatile: she can go from very fashionable sweaters to her fun SHAM shirt collection just like that. But when she goes out, she goes all out.

Overall, I think we can conclude that her wardrobe was pretty colorful. Especially in the anime, there's not a lot of black, if any, and Kagome tends to go for pastel. She also seems to be a big fan of overlaying: her outfits are often completed with cardigans, coats or jackets.

Plus, I'd say comfort is a priority for her. The vast majority of her clothes don't seem restricting at all and her shoes consist basically on loafers, sneakers and ballet flats. Even the heel we saw her wear once was of a wedge type.

She rarely uses accessories, but she limits herself to one or two when she does. It's usually a purse and some jewelry or belt (at least in the manga). Her hair is always down except for the occasional braid (also only in the manga), PE ponytail and bath bun.

It could have been interesting if Takahashi had also used Kagome's fashion sense to showcase how much she changed during her journey, but Kagome's style remained extremely consistent. I guess she found it very early on what she was about. I'd describe it as romantic boho, but I don't even know if that's a thing.

What I do know is that it was far from basic, that she appeared to be having a lot of fun expressing herself throught it and that it felt more mature in the manga, even if most of them are just covers or bonus art.

A(nother) Feudal Fairy Tale: Behind the Scenes

Welcome to the behind the scenes footage of creating my Azone Pure Neemo Character Kagome Higurashi! To see the photo gallery, click here!

Step one: Make sure the outfit can be made. Because this will all be in vain if that can’t be done. Once again, I consulted my dear friend Elenpriv and asked if she could make a second Kagome uniform (she’d made the one for the Barbie body) for a Blythe body (Azone Pure Neemo doll bodies are identical to Blythe, or at least very close). She said yes! WOO!

Side note: Azone has made several outfits for their dolls, including a lot of sailor style school uniforms. They’re perfect - but none of them are green! There is a dark blue/navy one, a black one, I think a red one... all kinds of options, but not a green one. Dang it! LOL

Anyway, next up was finding the perfect doll candidate. I didn’t want to use one of the actual character dolls because, well, they’re already a character from another series lol. So my first step was looking at all the 1/6 scale dolls with black hair. Creating a doll without a reroot was ideal.

There were several options to choose from, but even though they had black hair, there were some other issues.

For one, Kagome’s face is more “pointed” than round. I felt this particular face/head shape was too round.

I did start with her, but the slightly smaller mouth just didn’t say Kagome to me lol, especially when I kept looking at these pictures for reference:

So on to the next candidate! This one is nice, she has a nice face shape and a wider mouth:

I like her, but... her eyes don’t go quite high enough, I don’t think. And I need a template, since I can’t draw to save my life, so I wasn’t going to remove the eyes and start from scratch. She also has a side part, and try as I might, I couldn’t get the bangs to shape properly to hide it. I kept her on the back burner just in case, though. I looked into a couple of other ones like these two:

But they both have dark brown hair, not black. And the second one has too round of a face as well.

I went back to my original choice and attempted to style the hair. Well, one thing about Azone dolls - their hair is saran. That means it doesn’t work with heat very well, and it’s hard to style (or dye, apparently). At least, that’s been my experience. Nylon hair works much better, and is much more heat-resistant.

So at this point, I figured I’d have no choice but to do a reroot. Luckily for me, I’d already done a complete reroot with Olivier Mira Armstrong. So this would be my second one!

But I still needed a doll. As I looked at option number 3 more, I absolutely loved her face. The shape was right, and she had the wider smile. All of these dolls would have the same issue of needing their eyes repainted due to how their irises are compared to Kagome, so I wasn’t even looking at that.

Well, I didn’t want to buy one of these dolls (they’re designed for collectors, so they’re not just cheap play line ones you can get off a shelf - plus they’re all from Japan, which raises the price tag) just to “tear up.” So I looked in my stash and discovered I had two of one doll, and it happened to be the one with that face! So here’s the winner:

Her hair is actually the same color as mine in real life lol. That’s super hard to find... but not with Azone! They’ve designed several with that hair color, to which I say hallelujah. I’ve seen maybe two Barbies with that hair color. Come on, Mattel, get with it!

Anyway, the first step was to make sure I could pull off the reroot. I’d repainted Kagome’s face before (plus Sango’s, which is pretty much the same except for pink eyeshadow as well), so you’d think I’d be an expert at that. (More on that later).

I cut the hair off and then used small needle nose pliers to pull out the rest. Azone doll heads, it seems, don’t have glue on the inside - the hairs were all kind of weaved together inside the head. And there was one large piece where the part was that kind of held it all together, so I was left with a larger hole than I liked when I got all the hair out. But I did use some Loc-Tite to close it, just to be safe, and it seemed to be okay.

Next I painted the scalp black to match the hair she’d be getting. Of course, I forgot to use acetone to remove the original paint, and then I forgot to seal the black paint. So during the reroot process, it kept chipping away. Oops. I’m still new at this lol. Fortunately, you can’t see any of that with the final product.

So, during this rerooting process, I kept reminding myself of how I had to go back and add more hair to Olivier a few times because I’d made it too thin. So this time I went all out, even though most rerooters say you don’t have to plug every single hole (even though the factory did)... there’s a head in here somewhere LOL.

Once I was finished with all that hair, it was time for the boil wash. It never fails - whenever I do this, loose hairs that didn’t get plugged always come out. I need to figure out a method to prevent that, as well as prevent the hair from becoming a big stringy mess during the reroot process.

Of course, I probably should have taken a batch of hair and cut it so it didn’t wind up this long because I knew I’d have to cut it anyway:

Anyway, once the boil wash was done, it was time to do the bangs. Bangs have always been tricky for me. I don’t know how I managed to give my Anastasia Steele bangs without much of an issue... but perhaps it was because I used the method in this video, which I repeated for Kagome. I got them cut into shape (and again, they have such an odd shape compared to other characters - they’re almost triangular whereas all the other girls have straight bangs), then used the method in the video to get them to lay flat. When the face was done, I used some of my Volks doll hair spray to help the bangs stay in place.

Speaking of the face, that came next (I cut the hair first to make it easier to work with, with the intention of styling it later). Another difference between Azone dolls and other dolls I’ve worked with (particularly Barbie and Disney Store) - their eyes are stickers. Maybe other dolls are too now, but these particular stickers come off very easily if you rub them with a toothpick. Which I tend to do quite often when painting doll faces/eyes because inevitably some paint will stray from the brush and go where I don’t want it.

But I did use this to my advantage because the doll I chose had eyes with lashes that were pointing outward a little too far to match Kagome’s shape. So I used my toothpick to remove them, giving the eyes a more rounded appearance.

My original goal was to just draw over the eyes already in place, essentially changing the color from light brown/gold to dark brown. Well, Azone doll eyes have large pupils and smaller irises, and the white parts are smaller yet. The Inuyasha art style is different, with a large white part going from the top to the center of the eye, surrounded by a little bit of black and an almost horseshoe shape made up of two different shades of the iris color. Yeah, I studied that a lot. :D Plus, in many instances, Kagome’s eyes don’t look perfectly round, but more oval/oblong. But I did have to work with the shape of the sculpt/eye socket of the doll, so I tried to give her the appearance of having the “taller” eyes with the shape of the iris. And then there was the fun issue of getting those eyes even and the same size! I literally painted over the entire original eye with white paint, then went back in with the blacks and browns. I did discover that watercolor pencils will color on acrylic paint, so that helped me sketch out the design and go over it with paint again. It took some time, but finally, the face was ready! Mod Podge sealer applied!

The next step was styling the hair. You’d think I’d have it down by now, but noooo. Kagome has the most complicated hair of all the Inuyasha girls, I think. Sango and Kikyo have simple hairstyles and straight bangs. Kagome has triangular shaped hair all the way around. It ends at a point in the back, as do the bangs. Sigh.

So I got the hair trimmed into the proper shape using a layering method, which made her look like she stuck her finger in a light socket in the process. :D Once I was satisfied with the shape/length, I attached the head back onto the body, which already had the uniform on. Success!

Except...

The hair looked too thick, and a few people confirmed this when I showed it to them. Yeah, I was so worried about not having to add more hair later that I actually added too much.

It was also too long at this point as well. So then I was frantically trying to figure out how to salvage the situation without completely starting over. Some people suggested using a razor to thin it out. Yeah, I think they meant a straight razor like a barber uses, because my Dollar Shave Club razor didn’t work very well...

Then someone suggested shearing scissors. I’d previously purchased a hair styling set with two types of scissors (one of which was shearing) and combs. I’d never used those scissors before, because I didn’t know how the heck they worked. So I dug them out and used a practice doll to see what they did. And they did what I needed them to! Instead of cutting the length of the hair, it just cuts pieces to thin it out.

So I took these shearing scissors to the hair and made it a lot less bulky. Then I used my curling iron (and a spray bottle to get the hair completely soaked to be safe) to help shape the hair in the back. Of course, that’s easier said than done... there’s that pointy shape at the end, but the primary view will be from the front, so I had to be wary of that as well. And I didn’t want to cut too much, either. Kagome’s hair is most often seen above the waist, about mid-back under her green collar. It’s definitely shorter than Inuyasha’s. I was afraid I’d cut it too short when I applied the curling iron, but I took some of the curl out a bit and it seems to be okay now. Whew! I really didn’t want to have to redo all that... why didn’t I just send the head off to be rerooted professionally? Because I hate the post office and don’t trust them not to lose the head, and these dolls are, again, meant for adult collectors, so they’re not cheap. No way was I risking losing it. Plus, I wanted more practice anyway, and it did save me money. A professional reroot is worth it, but for this doll, I wanted to do it all by myself (except the uniform because no way can I do that lol).

So, finally, after playing with the hair a bit, I added some of the Volks spray and mousse (used to prevent flyaway strands), and she was ready! Woo!!!

But she wasn’t done yet! She still needs her accessories. :D She’ll be sharing her backpack and bike with my Barbie size Kagome, but I wanted to give her a bow for sure and maybe even some better arrows. Well, what luck - hubby got me a 3D printer for Christmas! And I managed to find a 3D print file for Kagome’s bow, arrows, and quiver on Etsy! These were cosplay size, but the seller was able to size them down for 1/6 scale for me. (The seller has since closed her shop, so I can’t post the link here, unfortunately.) Those little arrows were super delicate, but they look better than my first batch! Well, the arrow heads do, anyway. My first batch was the perfect size all the way except the arrowheads, which I attempted to replicate out of Crayola Model Magic. And it didn’t look good lol. So now I’ll probably try to print some more heads and glue them to the Barbie ones so they look better.

But first, let’s get the Azone one done, shall we? Because these were all 3D printed, they were one solid color and needed to be painted. Well, that was easy. I’d kept notes of all the colors and color combinations I’d used for my other dolls, so I just dug those out again and got to work. I glued some thin twine around the quiver like before, as well as a strap to go over Kagome’s shoulder. The bow string is made of black thread.

(Notice how she has her finger pointing to guard her aim! See - interchangeable hands!!!)

I painted one arrow head to look like a sacred arrow. :D We attempted to print probably six or eight arrows, but some of them fell apart because they’re just so fragile. The heads survived, though, so they’ll be good experiments for the Barbie arrows lol.

So, remember how I said Azone dolls are meant to have their hands changed? Yeah, that made for some awesome posing. Kagome can actually properly hold her bow and arrows now! (Okay, the Barbie can too, but removing those hands requires heat and more muscle since they’re not designed to be removed like that.)

I’d originally planned to give Kagome a 26cm Obitsu body. The Inuyasha doll is about 30cm, so 26cm would be about right for Kagome if we’re going in terms of actual height. The Barbie is technically a bit tall, but I’m still satisfied with her. Plus she has the proper skin tone to match the Inuyasha doll. The Azone dolls have two skin tones - flesh and white. Both are much more pale than the Inuyasha doll, so she’d wind up looking more like Kikyo in the long run. Same with Obitsu bodies.

Anyway, why didn’t I go with the Obitsu body? Well, all would have been fine if the shoes had fit. :D Obitsu feet are wider/larger than Azone, despite the bodies being almost identical in height. So with her socks on, the shoes would not go on the Obitsu feet. So back to the original Azone body! But hey, she’s a “true” Azone Pure Neemo Character Series doll now - all the character dolls have either Pure Neemo Flection (this one) or Emotion (more articulation but significantly smaller/thinner) bodies, so this makes her accurate to the series. And she’s not really meant to go with the Inuyasha doll, honestly; she’s my interpretation of another doll line that I love. And many of those dolls only have character made from the series, not all of them. There are a few exceptions like K-ON! and Love! Live! Sunshine! But mostly, it’s just one character like Nezuko and Asuna.

Size comparison to the 12″ collector doll and the Barbie size Kagome I made to go with him:

So for that reason as well, I am not going to make more Azone dolls lol. Or at least, I don’t plan to... we know how that goes LOL. But for right now, I’m content with my Azone Kagome! She may not be perfect, but I’m proud of myself for doing everything completely on my own (except the uniform). It makes her even more special!

Halloween Doodles

She'd quickly handed the children costumes, "I know its not celebrated here, not yet at least- but please! I'll bring some tasty treats! And a couple pumpkins too!"

Shippo already exited to change as quickly as he could, "Lady Kagome what's not celebrated?"

Kohaku eyed the fluffy piece she'd handed him, "What is this thing?"

"A costume beard," she giggled, "and Halloween of course!" She spotted Sesshomaru as he entered, "Oh! I have one for you too!"

His eyes clearly unamused blinked slowly, "This one is not a doll-"

"I'll bring you the yuzu lollipops you like so much," she begged.

He seemed to contemplate for a moment, until he pulled the costume from her, "A bag."

She nodded darting away, back down the well. She was back within the hour, changed into a costume of her own and several bags of goodies. Shippo was already at the well when she made it back, "Mama!"

She handed him a large orange sack with a pumpkin on it, "Now it's not all for you, share with Rin and Kohaku."

He nodded, opening a zippy bag grabbing a bright colored worm. Rin giggled happily, "a worm!"

Shippo opened the bag to the two, the worm still hanging out his mouth.

Sesshomaru reached forward into one of her large totes, pulling his prize. "You've brought too much," he spoke lifting one of the totes carrying a bright orange pumpkin.

She laughed a bit nervous, "I'm just a bit excited, sorry." She finally looked at him, really looked at him, "You make a very handsome Legolas."

His eyes seemed to gleam at the compliment, "Hn, and you a very handsome human."

Her laughter carried heavily with mirth, "Why thank you."

It's spooky time, lol

Kagome looks like a doll here in her dazed and amnesiac state. It feels like when Hakudoshi had her.

🪻

Kikyo did not have to be "resurrected". Rewatching the anime, some asshole dug up her grave and did some ritual to resurrect her. They said they used clay and dirt for it. So the Kikyo that was "a jealous bitch", isn't really Kikyo. It was a golem, clay doll, I even had a friend call her some mud pile. (I had someone else call her something I won't say, you can probably guess what it was)

What was the point of this? Wasn't it established that Kikyo reincarnated into Kagome? Kagome never said "I'm Kikyo." She said "don't call me Kikyo, my name is Kagome."

But you know, this Kikyo still went around and took care of people. It was weird that she needed to be fed souls. Maybe there's a proper Japanese yokai, legend, or something that correlates to what Kikyo was? I don't know. I just know that there was no reason for Kikyo to come back. She could have haunted the narrative. Inuyasha could have seen stuff and remembered her and felt shitty about it.

But nah, she came back and was known as the homewrecker and the scapegoat. No one hates Kikyo for any other reason besides the fact she gets in the way of their ship.

I mean, it's definitely still Kikyo in there. Her body's made of clay and whatever else, but it's her. When she dies for real later on, her soul ascends to Nirvana. I dunno, it was a weird show.

But you're right, that really is the only reason people hate her. She spends about five minutes being an angry, traumatized ghost and the rest of the series kicking ass and taking care of poor people.

Salty and Sweet

(uncropped pic under the cut because it contains a nice ripe peach)

"I'm ho-oome."

"I'm in the kitchen!"

"Wow."

"What?"

"Why are you all dolled up sittin' pretty on the kitchen counter? Wait, today's not somethin' special and I've forgotten is it?"

"You mean the skirt? No, we just had that bake sale at school today to raise money, and I decided to look the part. I've had this forever, I just don't think you've ever seen me wear it."

"You look cute in it. You wanna go out for dinner while you're lookin' extra beautiful?"

"Oooh, can we try that new Korean chicken place!?"

"Sure, I'll just have a shower and then we'll go."

"Kiss first!"

"Oh my god woman, so demanding. Just one. *smooch* You taste sweet, pretty girl, what you been eating?"

"A peach. You taste a little salty."

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I was choosin' some hardwood in the lumber yard this afternoon. It got pretty hot and my face got all sweaty. I'll go get clean, and-"

"No, stay, I like it."

"Kagome, I reek and I'm all dusty! I'll get your nice clothes all dirty." *wrapping legs around him* "Mmmm, maybe I feel like getting dirty too. *licking his neck* "Inuyasha, I don't think I'm craving chicken anymore. More like salt and another nice firm peach."

"HEY! Watch those toes Kagome, they're cold!" *snickering* "Fuckin' hell, you're insatiable."

"Oh yeah *sigh* there it is. The juiciest peach in the house."

A(nother) Feudal Fairy Tale

Oops! I did it again.

But this is no Britney Spears song (or doll). Despite making my custom Kagome doll a couple of years ago, and then subsequently making the rest of the core characters, all to go with the 12″ collector’s edition Inuyasha doll (Miroku, Sango, and demon slayer Sango), I made the decision to make another Kagome... but with a twist.

A couple of years ago, I was introduced to the amazing fashion dolls produced by the Japanese company Azone International. Several dolls exist, some 1/6 scale, some 1/12, and some 1/3. Among the 1/6 scale dolls are characters from actual anime series.

I absolutely love these Azone dolls! They’re designed to have interchangeable hands, and their heads come off super easily and go right onto different bodies (including Obitsu, which is like the Japanese equivalent of Barbie Made to Move) - which is awesome if you want to do a super quick outfit change! Or if certain outfits are too big or small for the doll’s primary body, just put the head on a smaller or larger one accordingly. Easy peasy!

The dolls are also smaller/shorter than Barbie, which is ideal for some of the amazing Re-Ment furniture (like the kitchen, dining table/chairs, and cafe table/chairs sets). I’ve been having more fun with these dolls than Barbie LOL.

Anyway, back to the main point of this post. The Azone International characters are all amazing, and feature characters like Nezuko, Asuna, Rem and Ram, and Misaka, to name just a few. But alas, there are no Inuyasha characters to be found.

So, what do you do when a doll company you love doesn’t create characters from a series you love? You make your own!

Click here to see the behind the scenes information!

Coming out of the well (inspired by the first episode):

This isn’t the Barbie bike I used, as it’s actually too tall for an Azone doll, but this was just for a picture and not a display like the others, so it’ll do :D

“Hit the mark!”

Sacred arrow:

The world’s tiniest bottle of sacred jewel shards:

“SIT, BOY!”

Always come prepared - bring a first aid kit!

Finally got a doll body for my Nendoroid. I don't have any clothes for her though besides this random little dress I had. But it works.

May also paint this little cat I have to be Buyo, so she can have her pet. ^_^

June 18th, 2022 - Anniversary

Summary: Kagome goes a little overboard on her gift making Inuyasha feel like an asshole. Little does he know, it’s literally his thoughts that count.

It was a beautiful yet unseasonably cold spring morning. The weather recently had been flirting with summer but a series of thunderstorms had tipped the scales in favor of near wintery temperatures. Not that it really mattered. The cold never bothered certain people who had risked the near freezing waters that morning and didn’t so much as shiver. So it was that a fair way into the mostly naked trees stood a very frazzled yet well groomed Inuyasha busy brushing himself off before reaching up to smooth his slicked back hair.

Yes, okay, maybe he realized he usually didn’t give a rat’s ass about his appearance. Despite faking confidence until confidence came, he had always been insecure about how he looked. Not as much anymore though. It was hard to think you were ugly and disgusting when your wife looked at your body like she was seeing god. Still, he was usually kinda lazy about his day to day look. Never saw a point in dolling himself up but today was different. In fact, it was a day that he’d never in a million years thought he’d get. Some people might think your wedding day would be the most important day in someone’s married life but for Inuyasha, the end of the first year was way more significant.

All his life he’d other people talking about how the first year was the hardest year of marriage. To be perfectly honest, for the past twelve months, he’d been secretly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Expecting Kagome to say to hell with the modest lifestyle he could provide and jumping straight back to her world. A world with every luxury you could imagine and ones that the feudal era simply didn’t have. No running water. No electricity. No soaps or stove tops or fridges. But he tried to make her comfortable, okay? He did try. He got her fresh food all year round. Taught her everything he could think she might need to know to survive and just handled the things she didn’t like doing. He prepped all the meat because seeing how the sausage got made made her gag. Every single day he got her fresh water. Their house was as water tight as he could get it and there was no draft. Got her lye and fragrant flowers so she could have something resembling the soap from her era. Anything she asked him to do he did. Anything she mentioned missing he tried to replicate. Was he doing a good job? No. Did she say it was the thought that counted? Yes. Did that mean he sucked at making things? Probably.

Despite his screw ups, instead of doing what he worried she’d do, she stayed and being with Kagome had been as effortless as breathing. Sure they still fought. Their dynamic hadn’t really changed except in almost every way possible. She held him and cuddled him and kissed him good morning. For the first time ever, he owned things that he didn’t inherit. Bowls, plates, chopsticks, a table, and, of all things, art. Not great art. Kagome - bless  her heart -had  taken up painting and the ones she loved the most were hung on their walls. Such as the small portrait of her old home in the future. Well, it was supposed to be that. Didn’t look like much of anything to be honest but she’d called it ‘abstract’ art which Inuyasha took to mean the artist couldn’t draw. During the winter months, they’d sit around the hearth doing nothing except boring, mundane things.  When things warmed up and he got comfortable enough to travel away from her again, she would welcome him home and massage his shoulders. Comb his hair and tended to his cuts with meticulous care. Told him she was proud. That he was so loved. That he was beautiful. Okay, she called him handsome but same thing. She complimented him, was always happy to see him and knew him better than he knew himself. She articulated her feelings with ease and sincerity. She let the world know loved him and he loved her more than words could ever express.

 But, with god as his witness, he was gunna find those words.

 So, to make this day especially meaningful to the woman who had the gift of gab, he’d spent the majority of the past few months working on a speech. Problem being, of course, that he was not good at using words to express emotion. Snarky quips and curses he could do but insulting Kagome out of love was not going to cut it this time. Or ever really but that was just how he showed he cared, okay? And she understood what he meant most of the time. Knew he didn’t mean how it sounded. Most of the time, when he said those things, he was scared shitless because she’d gotten kidnapped yet again or injured herself in a completely avoidable way by doing something impulsive. Besides, even though he didn’t use nice words all that often, he showed he loved her in other ways. Since she’d come back, he’d made a conscious effort to cuddle and kiss and hold her whenever possible. Brought her little gifts and was very supportive during her adjustment. Her efforts on that last bit made him so proud he might burst at the seams. She was already the strongest miko in existence so adding any new skill – whether it be medicine or cooking or sewing – made her get that much closer to achieving goddess level.

 In short, with each passing day, he loved her impossibly more and this past year had been the best year of his life. So, he needed to celebrate that and thank her for making all his dreams a reality.

 He just needed to not mess this up.

Swallowing thickly, Inuyasha closed his eyes, straightened up and focused instead on what he needed to say. Even on a good day, nice things he said sounded like an insult and despite knowing Kagome did love him for some reason, he really wanted today to go well. For one day, at least, he wanted to let her know how much he loved her and how much she meant to him. After all, despite them telegraphing ‘I love you’ back and forth, he’d never really…

 “Okay. Kagome.  I know…I know I’m not good at words but if I had the words to describe my feelings for you, I’d say them all the time,” Inuyasha began shakily – his eyes still closed and his face one of perfect concentration, “What I can say is that I love you. Not just because of who you are but for what I am when I’m with you. What you’ve made me. Even though I know…I know it must’ve been hard, thank you for never giving up on me. I actually love the way you nag and glare at me sometimes. The way we fight and the times that we don’t. I love every single second of it because it makes me know how much you care. You don’t know how much our fights mean to me. You’re fighting for me, not against me and…”

 Stopping, Inuyasha groaned and pressed his fingers over his eyes. That sounded way worse out loud than it did in his head. Which meant he had to start over from scratch and throw something else together which would undoubtedly be just as shitty. Better yet, to add to this awful no good realization he had mere hours to come up with something before the sun went down. Hell, it was already high noon and he was fairly certain he wasn’t going to come up with something even half-way decent.

 The last thing he wanted to do was remind her how terrible being with him actually was. She deserved to be with someone who she didn’t have to yell at all the time. Someone who was kind and sweet and…and thoughtful. Who never needed to be fixed in the first place and just came into this world with rainbows shooting out of their ass Instead, she’d gotten saddled with the sorriest son of a bitch who ever lived. Someone who was a broken hot mess and had to be put back together piece by piece. Who had to stand outside talking to himself like a lunatic just to practice saying something sweet because he was not a sweet person and resorted to insults half the time out of insecurity. She was so much smarter than him and he just knew she thought he was stupid….

Groaning louder, Inuyasha buried his face in his hands while his ears flattened against his skull.

Why didn’t he have the right words?

 Inuyasha rocked back on his heels and folded his trembling hands in front of him like a ‘proper’ gentleman might do. His eyes still closed as a thousand images and words raced through his mind. It might not be good but something was better than nothing. Besides, she always seemed to understand him somehow so…so maybe…

 “Kagome. I know I don’t say it…ever…but I love…”

 Groaning again, Inuyasha reached up with both hands to scratch the back of his neck and massage his shoulders. That was even worse somehow. One shuddering breath later and he was trying again.

“Twelve months ago, you came back. Knowing you has been the best….best thing that ever happened to me,” Inuyasha mumbled shakily – his face making little quirky expressions as he imagined actually saying these things out loud, “You made me a better person. Gave me everything I could ever ask for. And I try to…to give you everything but-no. No can’t say that.”

Shaking his head, Inuyasha inhaled and exhaled.

“You have given me everything I could ever ask for and I am so grateful that…that you chose me. You didn’t hafta but-shit no.”

Agitatedly pulling as he shoulder blades, Inuyasha huffed and sighed heavily.

“I am so grateful that you chose me. I love you.  I love who I am around you. What you’ve made me into. And I just…I just wanted…you to know…that.”

 Figuring that last bit was probably the only bit he could reasonably get out without messing it up, Inuyasha twisted to crack his back before turning back towards the village with a determined glare.

 “Okay,” he whispered to himself before jumping and kneeling down to pick up the flowers he’d picked with meticulous care, “Can’t forget these. Okay. Now I’m ready. Let’s do this.”

 Inuyasha, for all his planning and practice, had every ounce of confidence wiped from his mind upon entering the hut and seeing Kagome standing there with the proudest little smile. Somehow, some way she’d managed to completely transform the sleeping area. There were furs, a futon on raised stilts and worst of all, she had done the impossible.

 Ramen. There it was - herbs, noodles and beef - boiling away in a pot. Somehow she’d figured out how to make something as close to ramen as one could get in this era. It smelled spot on too. For lunch he imagined but that…that…

 “Wha-“

 “Happy Anniversary!” Kagome exclaimed happily before her smile fell upon seeing his face turn green.

 “This-“

 “Oh! Okay, so tonight is the twelfth new moon since I got back so I thought it’d be nice to celebrate,” she offered – clearly trying to stay positive and not freak out, “It’s completely okay if you weren’t keeping track. I mean…”

 “The hell is that supposed to mean,” Inuyasha huffed miserably as he removed the flowers from behind his back and half-heartedly raised them up, “I remembered. I kept track. I did.”

 As soon as he dropped his hand, his very modest gift decided in that moment to betray him. Almost as if on cue, every single flower head decided to jump ship en masse leaving only ugly naked stems in the horrified and crushed half-demon’s hand.

 “I-I can get more,” he mumbled wearily as he knelt down and began collecting the traitorous little bastards off the floor, “I just…I wanted to do something nice but maybe I should’ve done something-“

 “You really remembered?” Kagome breathed happily – her heart melting behind her eyes despite Inuyasha being unable to see it, “On your own?”

 “Yeah,” he sighed – his eyes focusing squarely on the petals and heads, “Look, Kagome I…”

 “You don’t need to get anything else. This is perfect,” Kagome cooed quickly – completely interrupting his other gift of words as she rushed forward and began plucking the petals from his hand, “This isn’t really all that much. I just wanted to make a safe space for you tonight. So, you could actually sleep. And I didn’t do-“

 “That’s stupid. You’re my safe space whether I sleep or not. I don’t need all this shit,” Inuyasha sighed miserably as he visibly sagged in defeat, “You always do too much. I can’t compete with this Kagome. I got you flowers and you-“

 “I’m your safe space?” Kagome asked – her voice happier than he’d ever heard it before and out of surprise, amber eyes flicked upwards. His face crumpling in confusion.

 “Yeah?” he replied slowly – his brow furrowed and his eyes betraying how much of an idiot he thought she was in that moment, “Did I stutter or something?”

 Kagome’s grin widened and Inuyasha felt more uncomfortable than ever.

 “No. No. You were saying?”

 “Well its…it’s just not fair. I mean, people like you. You give them medicine and they give you priceless shit,” Inuyasha continued mumbling defensively, “The only real thing of value I have to my name is you and I can’t really sell you to buy nice things for you. Defeats the purpose and…and…”

 Nodding like she was listening to his points, Kagome was having a hard time not just kissing him senseless. He didn’t realize it but he was actually being quite sweet and dropping little statements that let her know how much he loved her.

 “I mean, shit Kagome, who the hell gave you furs? Helped you build a freaking bed, huh?” Inuyasha huffed as he gestured towards the luxurious items, “If you wanted a bed, I’d’ve made you one. I’d do anything for you but I don’t know what to do unless you tell me. You should know that by now and you shouldn’t have had to do this yourself and…and just….”

 “Can I tell you what I need then?” Kagome interrupted his verbal self-lashing and breathing heavily, Inuyasha nodded. His eyes screaming and wavering as he waited to jump at the opportunity to do whatever she was about to ask.

 Clasping her hands behind her back, she smiled widely and rocked back on her heels.

 “I want you to be happy. Always. I want you to smile and laugh,” she offered – repeating her thoughts from the very beginning of the quest, “And I want you to always know I am your safe place.”

 Sagging in defeat, Inuyasha gave her a withering glare.

 “Seriously?”

 “Yes seriously. That and I want you to use the stuff I worked hard to get you and I want you to sleep tonight,” she added sweetly, “For my present, I want you to let me protect you.”

 “That’s not a real present,” he huffed irritably as he ran his claws through his hair, “Give me something to do woman or I’m gunna scream.”

 “We need more firewood,” she offered without skipping a beat and rolling his eyes, Inuyasha nodded before heading towards the door.

 “I’m gunna get you new flowers too, okay? Ain’t nobody gunna say I didn’t get you anything.”

 Humming contentedly, Kagome leaned up against the doorframe and watched him go. Hearing him say his feelings out loud was the best present she had ever gotten. Topped only by the fact that later that night, he did fall asleep in her arms. All it took, apparently, was having her heartbeat ringing in the human ear pressed tightly against her chest. Burrowing under the covers, Inuyasha released a long relieved sigh and all the tension in his muscles melted right out while a soft mumble of ‘love you’ made its way over his lips. Throughout that night, his body subconsciously tried to melt into hers - unknowing nuzzles and coos of contentment made her heart soar. The few times he seemed to having a bad dream all she needed to do was hum and whatever negative expression he made faded almost instantly. He was precious. He was warm. He was happy. He snored. Not loudly but still. His lips twitched upwards in his peaceful slumber whenever she stroked his cheek. Above things it was clear he hadn’t been exaggerating when he admitted she was his safe place and that he was most likely downplaying how much he loved her. All this time she’d assumed that she loved him more than he loved her but after today, it seemed like him saying he needed her was a gross understatement. She was his world. The only thing he needed in life.

Alas, time stood still for no man but Kagome was very happy to report that night was quite possibly the best one she’d ever had. Officially, she was now the only person who had ever had the pleasure of seeing how his human side slept. Probably the only person in history who’d heard his cute soft snore. She was the only person he would ever let see - much less hold - him in his most vulnerable state. Being graced with that level of trust and love which had been demonstrated in such a simple way?

Oh it was the best gift ever.
