some relatable quotes (and why)
so i wanted to make a post about some quotes from anime/movies/cartoons that relate to me in a way. there is a lot, to be honest, so for now i'll only put a few. who knows, i might do a part 2 and songs next. if you have any quotes you relate to, feel free to comment them!
now that i look over this....i realized it looks more like a vent post due to me adding why the quote is relatable in parenthesis... shit-
I don't understand why everybody has to be so judgmental. ...."Hey, Cody's just a bum." "Cody's this," "Cody's that," "Cody's this." Cody's me, bro. Let me be me. When is that going to start? ~Cody Maverick, Surf's up (constantly being compared to others, told i should be like this or more like that)
I, am on, *so* much migraine medication you have no idea... The stress is killing me. I dunno how much longer I can last, I have to tell you that right now! ~Mikey Abromowitz, Surf's up (i have chronic migraines; stress makes it worse)
No joy, man. No joy...Fail. ~Big Z, Surf's up (me after telling myself "i'ma have a good day" and it ends up being shit)
Mikey, why don't you head on over to the snack bar and get yourself a big bowl of shut up? ~Reggie Belafonte, Surf's up (me when i am not in a good mood and people make it worse. me when someone pisses me off then tries to make me laugh)
heh heh, this place sucks, bro. ~Cody Maverick, Surf's up (me at school, me at home, me at the store, me in any sort of inconvenient/annoying place)
i promote happiness! can you see the happiness emanating from me!? what's wrong with you? ~Reggie Belafonte, Surf's up (me looking in the mirror when i am one minor inconvenience away from absolutely losing my shit)
*sigh.* why is it that whenever i'm having fun, it's wrong? ~Squidward, Spongebob (me. just me)
what are those neanderthals doing?.... ~Squidward, Spongebob (me with my nosy neighbors, me at the store and people are acting absolutely RIDICULOUS)
too bad that didn't kill me. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me, with just anything)
i hate all of you. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me after i graduated in 2023)
well, it wouldn't be the first time you ruined everything. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me when my family just can't get along, younger me with my little brother 'cause my father always favored him)
wake me up when i care. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me when my little brother constantly woke me up for the damn nintendo wii (i wanted to do what Squidward did when he bashed his head into the register, but to a table or wall instead))
why am i always the one handing out apologies? ~Shippo, Inuyasha (was blamed for everything; grew a habit of apologizing for everything)
...nothing i could've gained was worth losing her. nothing at all. ~Sesshomaru, Inuyasha (i lost my grandma in january of 2021)
i want you to be happy. i want you to laugh a lot. i don't know what i'll be able to do for you, but i'll always be by your side. ~Kagome, Inuyasha (me to my best friend who i've known and been friends with since 2018)
people like you… are the reason why people like me need medication. ~Inuyasha, Inuyasha (many people in the world, and many types of people, are driving me up a fucking wall)
i just don't like giving up, there's a difference! ~Inuyasha, Inuyasha (i refuse to give up on something/someone that means so much to me, unless i absolutely have a good reason (even then, a part of me still wants to refuse giving up))
i can't be at peace until i find out the truth. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Moon (there are a lot of things happening in my family, as it was split in half when i was very young. one side says this, the other side says that. i'm in constant turmoil trying to figure out who is and who isn't lying. it feels like the equivalent of being ripped apart)
18 quotes, and now my fingers are cramped T^T they'll only cramp more when i add the tags.

hello! not really a request, but i was wondering if you have any tips on writing yanderes/your thought process while writing your works? i really love how you write yanderes and don’t know where to really start (^ ◇^;) you can ignore this ask if it’s too much!
My thought process is a strange one, lovie. I'm a maladaptive day dreamer so I often just space out and random thoughts from that usually are how my yandere ideas begin. I have a note app on my phone and it is FILLED with random ideas/ plot points. Some have been there for literal years (a big group of unfinished Selkie fics across multiple fandoms are just hanging out in there)
Tumblr media
If I have a certain yandere in mind with the idea, I put their name at the top and see if I can expand ideas or even fit them together. Like having a pocket full of quotes and seeing which ones fit who. Sometimes I'll get a random idea for a BNH Quirk, or a HxH nen ability, and I'll write it down so I can come back to it later or see which character would be most likely to be interested in a darling with said ability.
Or I think of a character and build from there.
~~~~~~~~
For example:
I want to write something about Sesshomaru.
Ancient japan, but I am a present day human who does NOT live in Japan. Fine, reader becomes transfer student and is shadowing/living with Kagome. Both get pulled into the bone eater's well and are now in ancient Japan.
Yay! But he doesn't like humans other than Rin.
Fine, reader travels with Kagome and is washing her clothes in the river when she hears Rin scream while she is running from demons. Reader goes to help the girl and is attacked, basically sacrificing herself for Rin. This sacrifice (paired with the demon horde) creates a new Shikon Jewel. Rin is understandably upset someone just died for her and cries. Here comes Sesshomaru who mercifully revives reader using Tensaiga.
But wait! Shikon Jewel formed and that took reader's soul!
Fine, reader has no soul and therefore takes a nearby fox demon's soul instead and becomes a half-demon when revived due to demon soul. An empty vessel that now lives. Memories and personality are still there, humanity is mostly gone. Kinda like how Kikyo was a clay vessel until revived with an ounce or two of Kagome's soul. Jewel makes half-demon reader full demon!
Now demon, but what kind? Eh, fox demon soul. Fox demon. Works for me. Nine tail! Big fluffy!
Fox demon revived by Dog demon and encouraged by Rin, join Sesshomaru's party. Jaken complains about a fox in the party but shuts up because Rin is happy. Reader blames Kagome for dragging reader into all of this.
Dramatic questions when they finally meet again!
"You didn't even look for me! Doesn't my family deserve a chance to mourn? To know I died? Doesn't my life matter too?"
Note: Kagome DID go look. Couldn't find reader and blames herself for getting reader dragged to feudal era Japan. Every word is a knife that hurts more as reader speaks and blames Kagome for more.
Inuyasha wants new jewel and Kagome can see/sense it. Oh, but wait, reader is demon now! Lash out foxy-fox! Kagome and friends depart because reader demon abilities are a bit over powered due to new jewel and controlled by reader's angry emotions (instinct comes out in life or death battle, blinded by rage, one can only act on instinct).
Keep traveling with Sesshomaru and become a 'mom' figure for Rin. Sesshomaru is her dad figure, so reader can be mom!
More danger from wolf demons going after the jewel. Wolves are chasing the fox reader, Sesshomaru actually intervenes and saves reader.
"Foolish woman! Don't you know how to defend yourself?"
Angry because scared of losing reader, but will never tell. Reader was scared, not mad, so reader kinda forgot that she is a demon and a scary one at that.
Foxes have heats, dogs do too. Males have ruts. Sesshomaru has a rut when reader goes into heat. Guess it is time for Sesshomaru to claim his mate.
Fox demon? Fox terminology; tod, vixen, skulk, burrow, den.
~~~~~~~~
Bones outline for story, fill in the meat and descriptions, you got yourself a good one! Post and say "screw it!" And hopefully people like it.
That is my usual approach, but sometimes inspiration smacks me like a sack of bricks. I'm maybe/probably gonna write the full story of the word blurb above.
A few Rules I follow;
NEVER use same descriptive word twice in same paragraph or sentence, use another word with similar meaning. (Sad; melancholy, despondent, grief stricken, numb, sorrow, woe)
Dictionary and Thesaurus are friends. (As a kid, I sat and read a dictionary because I could. It has helped amazingly).
Try to not start two sentences in the same paragraph with the same word.
Paragraphs can be one sentence or millions of sentences! Split into new paragraph based off of idea or focus shift.
Purple prose is fine, don't let anyone else tell you it isn't. (Locks of ebony/ waterfall of tears/ waves of emotion) Find descriptive words for colors, even those weird funky colors. Life mimics nature and nature contains life. Immerse yourself and the reader with your words. 5 senses. (Maybe 6 if you want)
"Dialogue chunks should be together, easier than trying to write description between every line of dialogue for every sentence."
Put warnings for content as you write at list up top. Add as needed.
Practice! (Even if it is only in little notes on phone. These can be edited until you are pleased)
Why? Why not. Who will stop you other than you?
Don't follow grammar rules or sentence structure? Go for it! Commit to your style and try new styles. Who are others to tell you not to? It is your work, you decide! People can complain all they want, they are not the author, you are! You make your choices, not them!
If you don't like what you wrote, save to edit but don't beat yourself up for it. Write what you like and what makes you happy. What you didn't like prior may fit beautifully into a different piece.

I'm about to refute this entire essay with the simple explanation being:
The only interaction we've seen of these two is when she's a freaking 8 year old. Your self insert shows no boundaries.
Tumblr media
And this is probably the last time I'll make a post about the stupidity behind the way the pair is viewed:
Note: I know there's people out there with a brain who ship these two in a more conventional way. In the end you do you, ship whatever you want, no one can prevent you from doing that, just don't be gross about it.
One of the parts being the Significance of their first encounter:
She’s a poor peasant girl who’s suffered immense trauma, suffering, and loneliness. Her initiative to help Sesshomaru came from her generosity
Exactly, she's alone for her family had been killed before her eyes, the villagers treat her like garbage. When she meets Sess he's wounded and simply in a bad state, both mentally and physically. Both of them are, the difference being he's a demon, a powerful one and for him to have ended in such a bad shape only stabbed at his pride- Rin on the other hand is a child, a human tiny child who is vulnerable and to him she poses no threat. Both of them are weak then.
At this point, it’s observable that despite knowing her story, her scars, and her difficulties, humans do not even empathize, let alone sympathize with Rin. It is the feudal era, after all. She’s a young, disabled orphan and the villagers only see her for what she lacks: a voice, a family, and a place of belonging.
Again with your feudal era shit. I can assure you the world is just as ugly today as it was before you and I existed. Next.
When he asks about her bruises, this is the first time anyone had ever afforded her a second glance.
This was a huge step forward for Sess, a huuuuuuge one for he showed interest in another living creature, not just any creature but a human. And for her it was probably like Christmas, for no one had showed her any mercy or interest. Ok you get a point. But oh, boy, how I'm about to spit on the next one:
The audience can see Sesshomaru calculate her body language, recognizing that she is mute. Instead of pressing her further or ignoring her outright, he attempts to comfort her (in his own way), making her feel that it is okay if she chooses not to answer him; that her desire to reply to him should only be a desire, not an obligation. I think, on one hand, that was the first moment of something that would resemble compassion that Sesshomaru had ever administered, trying to put himself in her shoes — if someone had asked him to do something that required, for example, his left arm, he probably would have appreciated them saying “you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to” so to provide him agency for something that he actually cannot do. And the same goes for Rin. He recognizes her disability, maybe even resonates with it and decides to empower her with a choice. Choice is important when it comes to the Sesshomaru/Rin dynamic and it’s a word that will come up often. 
Ok why are you comparing the loss of his arm to her not being able to talk? Not all disabilities are the same, you moron. Or am I dumb for thinking this way? If so, feel free to call me out on my lack of common sense kr whatever you wanna call it. Sess physically couldn't do shit with his left arm because well- it was gone! That's a physical disability. Rin had "lost" her voice after what she witnessed and so she wouldn't speak anymore. Have you heard of Psychogenic Dysphonia? If not, you can click here and give it a reading or do your own research. The more you know: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0892199703000158
So you say he "empowers her with a choice" that is "important when it comes to the Sesshomaru/Rin dynamic" let me get this straight, a choice because why? She's a child? A female? Because you said so yourself, it's the Feudal Era after all and therefore women had no choice in life, no voice, no agency, no nothing. So he was being magnanimous then? You know... This is where you start edging into the gr00ming territory. Can't you see? No? Alright, moving on.
Tumblr media
BRUH WHAT THE FUCK?! Are you fucking good? See how you self insert? Bye. Next
The next time Sesshomaru sees Rin, it is suggested that he actively sought her, whether it be by curiosity or concern for well-being
He did... It is not suggested, he actually did asdfhkl. For both curiosity and he probably was worried. He also states he wants to test out his sword, what a perfect chance to do so for Rin is pretty much dead and that's the only way to make his sword work. So she was both being a guinea pig and an itch he wasn't quite sure how to scratch. Next.
Silence Rin.
Rin screams endlessly, annoying Sesshomaru. Firstly, this is the first time we hear him call her by her name. Secondly, Sesshomaru is visibly annoyed by her noises, however, he does not tell her to “shut up” as he normally would with Jaken or even InuYasha. He simply says “enough of that Rin, stop it.” (In Japanese he says, “Silence, Rin. You make too much noise.”) Even analyzing the Japanese dialogue, it is evidently softer than Sesshomaru’s usual ‘kisama’ (貴樣) manner of speech that we see depicted usually. This is the first time he’s had a companion who is not a demon, someone with compassion, and who has had his general best interests at heart with no expectations in return. His softer tone is a logical deduction to make.
Ok... "someone with compassion, and who has had his general best interests at heart with no expectations in return." Bruh... As if he would even consider meeting someone's expectations. Are you sure you're talking about Sess? Another thing is, he always speaks in a calm tone, he rarely yells or loses his composure- he had no reason to be rude to her either, you're excusing his regular behavior simply because she ain't Jaken. Anything else?
Rin doesn't change Sesshomaru overnight, it's a gradual and long process
Well duh!!! Just like you don't lose the pounds you gained from eating in one sit 12 donuts a week ago. Stating the obvious and for what? What's exactly your mf point?
The silence part is important, idk how to tell you there is a power imbalance in their relationship from the moment he tells her to be quiet. He didn't say please, he didn't ask her to, he told her to be quiet. Like a parent would, if I could count the times my mom told me to shush.... That's your first indicator he is not her friend, he is not her equal.
Letting you Be Yourself: The Panther Demon Arc
the first frame the audience sees in the anime sets the scene, painting the Sessshomaru entourage in a serene manner, indicating a level of comfort between group members (episode 75). This is vastly different from our last depiction of Sesshomaru and Rin’s relationship. In episode 44, he was unable to withstand her (albeit annoying) childish antics. But here, it’s observable that Sesshomaru can accept her and her package of unconventional fun. Not only does he tolerate and even more so, accept Rin, but he accepts her influence on his vassal, Jaken and allows them to be free around him.
Is called developing patience. I can assure you that when you're a parent or an older bro/sis and your kid/younger sibling is noisy af you either learn to tolerate that or get used to it for kids are kids abd you have to let them be kids. Next.
Tumblr media
She's a child, she's not stupid.
The Abducted Rin: Calling her Name
The respect that Sesshomaru shows Rin is insurmountable. However, the InuYasha franchise is clever to portray the subtlety of Sesshomaru’s respect for her. KV on Twitter points out how highly he regards his companion and never relegates her to anything less than the value that she as a person embodies (@KVndie via Twitter). He consistently humanizes her. 
He only sees how important she is to him after her ass dies a second time. What do you mean? He respects her enough to not coddle her, she is independent and taught her to be self sufficient from the very start. That's respect. He consistently humanizes her because... She ... Is ... Human! OMG WHAT A SHOCKER!
Tumblr media
As Naraku remarks on his hostage to Sesshomaru, "Naturally, the girl you're looking for is not here…,” he continues, “the girl is in custody outside of the castle..." Naraku never makes an attempt to give her personhood, leaving her unnamed, disposable, and relegating her to a mere "girl." But Sesshomaru doesn’t take any of this. He is a cold-hearted Daiyokai, yet he still makes an effort and upholds his principle to refer to her as Rin — not a replaceable “girl.”
Naraku is a mf genius. It didn't quite click until now he wanted to see if she was important or not to him and to what extent. For he planned his moves that way, making people turn against one another. While he wouldn't have made Rin turn against Sess he set everything up so he would end up wanting to kill Kohaku and in doing so, Inugang would have engaged against Sess.
Tumblr media
Sesshomaru’s insistence on using Rin’s name isn’t only highlighted in this isolated incident though. It pays off. It is an ongoing theme in their dynamic throughout the series.
That's her name ... How you want him to call her? Baby?
I could go on and on but... This is a fucking essay. And then I stumble against more bullcrap:
The second point I want to highlight here is Sesshomaru’s reaction to Rin’s fall and her risky expedition. At this point, it’s unquestionable that Rin has a special place in his heart.
Of course she has a special spot in his heart. I won't deny that. What worries me is how you're trying to justify the way she's important to him since she was a child. As if his way of seeing her had changed.
Tumblr media
I'm gonna disagree by agreeing with you in a few pointers. Kagome and Kikyo were rivals, they both romantically love the same guy. Kagome being the only one who could save Kikyo chooses to help her, knowing damn well Inuyasha would have suffered if Kikyo had died- further more, if it was in Kagome's hands to do something about it.
Rin on the other hand, I will applaud to her how she grew past her fear of Kagura after being kidnapped by her, she saw her body in the river and said fuck it and did her best to try to pull her from the water. I loved how stubborn and brave she was, even tho Sess had to pull everyone out of the water- she deserves a gold star. You go baby girl!!!
Tumblr media
Rin later makes a cheeky comment, noting Kagura’s romantic interest in Sesshomaru. Jaken brushes this off as childish naivety. But for the spectator, this establishes two things: (1) That Rin does not see Kagura as a rival for Lord Sesshomaru’s attention, let alone affection; and (2) that Rin is still a child. Rin is certainly a child, with a youthful and fresh outlook on life that brings out the best in people. But even as a child, her relationship with Sesshomaru is incredibly healthy, clear, and surprisingly communicative.
Tumblr media
Why would she? She's not a spoiled brat
Nah? I thought her double D indicated otherwise. OF COURSE SHE'S A MF CHILD.
Why do you keep mentioning is healthy? Do you need reassurance of it? Communicative in what way? Cuz if you wanna talk about communication let's talk about how he didn't even acknowledge her ass when she gave birth. He didn't even say her name, didn't even look at her. Tell me now how they are communicative and healthy?
I could go on, I really but all I'm getting from this load of bullshit I'm forcing myself to read is how you do in fact need to reassure yourself thr ship is god tier and is... How you said it was? Ah, healthy.
Tumblr media
Anyways, thanks for reading and if you see any typo ... My apologies, I tried. Also if you have any input or I was out of line in some way, my apologies once more.

Anything interesting in the last episode?
Plot-wise it didn't feel like it moved much. I was expecting Rion's thread to be cut but that is probably happening in the next episode. Probably.
My friend @wwy009sideblog already covered this in here. I am gonna post my two cents, which unfortunately became a long post. I have more under the cut.
I noticed a lot of things but these two were really the key for me:
Towa's demonic energy getting drained
Zansekien has the Kyuyoukon root which absorbs demonic energy and Osamu Kirin used that on Towa (after Towa hurt his ego.. such a petty man).
Tumblr media
What it means is that we should be seeing Towa in her human night. Instead we see her in her short black hair. So her HAIR getting LONGER WAS a demonic trait after all. (As if antis hadn't pointed it out earlier). And this is NOT the first time the series has confirmed that twins have demonic powers, albeit weak, during their human nights. You can see the gifs added in my friend's post that I linked, for more context.
Riku realized something about Rion
Originally the Zanseiken was given to Rion by Kirinmaru for her protection. After she meets Towa and co., she gives the sword to Towa so that Towa can defeat Kirinmaru. Osamu Kirin didn't understand why a half-demon such as Towa had this sword.
Tumblr media
Which makes Riku realize...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Rion shuts him up and takes him away.
I know that majority of people think that Riku realized that Rion was a half demon. I mean it fits with what we have been shown. Like Rion having demon ears like Inuyasha. Kirinmaru giving Rion the Zanseiken sword for her protection would parallel Toga giving Inuyasha the Tessaiga for his protection (or was it for Izayoi?)...
But, I am also leaning towards Kirinmaru being a half. I could be reaching but I find his character design very different from other daiyokais like Zero, Sesshomaru's Mom or Toga. Kirinmaru has dragon scales on half of his face, his shoulder plates have different designs, and had demon mark only on one hand (that eventually became Osamu Kirin).
Tumblr media
If that's the case, then Rion could be a quarter like Moroha and what Riku realized could be that even though a half killed Rion she didn't hate half demons because her own father is a half demon. Also to note that Kirinmaru was bestowed the two swords Zanseiken and Bakuseiken from God of stars Amatsumikaboshi....so... may be Kirinmaru is a half demon/half deity.
Whatever the case is, whether Rion is half or Kirinmaru is, I am guessing that the reason that there is no last episode title in the magazine could be related to this reveal.
Other points of interest were:
Grim Comet/Grim Butterfly/Kirinmaru's Palace? From the screenshots, before you ask who allowed these minors into a night club, let me tell you that this is INSIDE of the GRIM BUTTERFLY. As Osamu Kirin puts it, it's a sacred palace. - It has golden Qilin statues to symbolize that it belongs to Kirinmaru. - Kirinmaru/Osamu Kirin has his book collection there. YES, THE GRIM COMET A HUGE LIBRARY WITHIN IT, complete with floating bookshelves and anti gravity books.
Tumblr media
What's the big deal you think? The Grim Butterfly emerged out from the butterfly chrysalis hidden deep within the Grim comet, that passes by every 500 years, and until ep 44 Osamu Kirin and Kirinmaru in ep 38 wanted to destroy the comet.
Now suddenly it's their alien palace/space ship, which has a book collection that Kirinmaru/Kirin collected over years.
Tumblr media
Rion/Grim Butterfly/Zero. Quite literally, Rion is driving the Grim Butterfly and killing all the feudal era demons with rainbow glitter. I kid you not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rion, via the Grim Butterfly, uses the same type of rainbow butterflies as Zero did when Zero had attacked Towa.
Tumblr media
The top pic is from recent episode (46) and the bottom pic is from ep 37. Somehow Zero is connected to this alien butterfly. All this is telling me that somehow or the other, Kirinmaru family is connected to space/Gods. They kept mentioning about Gods in past few episodes. And rainbow theme in Yashahime needs to have it's own post. I found QUITE A LOT OF PLACES where rainbow colors are used. It's all indicating a connection. Don't know how though.
Sesshomaru-Rin/Kirinmaru-Rion The episode continued to show that parallelism with Kirinmaru-Rion scene. The fight is still on. Rin is standing behind the tree just like Rion was during Kirinmaru's fight against Toga. I hope Rin suddenly speaks out the same thing as Rion, about how she was feeling after seeing his father fight Toga.
I have more but this post is long already.

A sweet moment pt. 2
"How dare you, Kagura? I never asked for you're help, when it came to my love life." Byakuya was angry. And so was his fife-year old niece, who was sitting on his arm. Setsuna rolled her eyes and had a look on her face that said: "Can you guys talk about this without me?"
"Byakuya, I didn't mean to insult you. I just think, that it's time for you, to get a partner and build you're own family. I mean...I see the way, that you treat Towa and Setsuna. You would be a lovely dad." Kagura saw a little smile on her brothers face. Byakuya was such an lovely, young man. How could someone like him be single? The woman must ran through his door.
"Yeah, I know Sister. But I don't think, that this is any of you're business." Setsuna finally had enough of her uncle and mom taking about things, that she didn't understood. She started to scream and to cry. Byakuya sighed and looked for Sesshomarus around the living room. Setsuna would only stop to cry, when her dad took her into his arms.
"Where is Sesshomaru?" "I don't know. Maby in the kitchen." Byakuya looked at his sister with an angry look, as if he wanted to say "Were not done here" and went to the kitchen.
"Can you take Setsuna? She won't stop crying." Sesshomaru noded and took his daughter from the arms of his Brother in Law. As soon as Setsuna could play with the silver hair of her dad, she smiled again. Byakuya sighed and put his hand on his head.
"What's up with you, Byakuya? Are you exhausted?" "I wish this would be the reason, Sesshomaru. Kagura drives me crazy. Why is she doing something like that?"
Sesshomaru looked at Byakuya. Looked in his bright violet eyes and then narrowed his.
"You know exactly why, Byakuya." Sesshomaru put the hand of his daughter away from his hair. "Because she doesn't know. You should tell her."
"It's bad enough, that you know it. But I just can't shut up, when I'm drinking with you."
"I'm glad you told me, Byakuya." The black haired man looked at his Brother in Law with big eyes. Since when did cared Sesshomaru that much about him and his problems? "You can't keep it a secret forever. And there is nothing wrong about it."
"Why is it so difficult then?"
Sesshomaru lied his hand on Byakuyas shoulder and looked him deep in the eyes. "Talk to Kagura. She will understand it. You can't keep it a secret forever. Don't you want her at you're wedding?"
Byakuya realised, that Sesshomaru was right. He smiled and then rubbed his niece over her head. She was so young and didn't had this problems. Byakuya hopped, she would never have that kind of problem.
"You're right. I will talk to her."
Kagura wondered, why Byakuya was gone for so long. He was probably taking to Sesshomaru. Kagura somehow had the feeling, that this two kept a special secret.
"Kagura, can we talk?" The red eyed woman looked at her twin brother and saw the look in his eyes. She noded. "What going on Byakuya?"
"I think I have to tell you something." "Please. I've been waiting for that." Byakuya looked down and felt his heart racing.
"You know...I lied about being single. I...am in a relationship. Since three years now."
Kagura smiled like an idiot and wrapped her arms around her brother. "And you didn't tell me?! I'm so happy for you? Who is she? Can I meet her?"
Byakuya pushed his sister a little bit away to look her in the eyes. Then he smiled.
"Kagura, the reason I never told you is...it is the fact that, that she is an he." Kagura said nothing. Her eyes went wide. "So you are...?"
"Yeah. I'm gay...and currently in a relationship with a man, who I also plan to marry soon."
"You plan to marry? And didn't even thought about telling me?"
"So you don't mind it?"
"Byakuya I don't care about who you love! The main thing is, that you are happy! And if you're happy with you're boyfriend, them I'm as well."
Byakuya smiled wide and hugged his sister. He was so happy. Kagura smiled and kissed her brother on his cheek. Sesshomaru stood in the door frame and suppressed a smile. He was waiting for Byakuya, to finally tell his sister.
"So, when can I meet my future brother in law?"
Byakuya didn't had the change to answer, because suddenly, he heared Towa and Setsuna laughing and then joining the hug.
-----
I thought long about rather posting this or not but then I decided to do. In my head Canon, Byakuya is happily married to an another man and plans to adopt a child soon. I just wanted to wright a second part because I loved the first one. It's not really about Hogoshamaru anymore, but since I love Byakuya, I wanted to write about him.

EPISODE 4: A Secret Long Kept

The nightmares were over. Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo were able to overcome Garamaru’s cocoons, and the nightmares he tried to trap them in, and it was all thanks to Inuyasha. As they gathered together, they watched as the Forest of Sorrow disappeared around them.
“Is everyone okay?” Kagome asked as she joined back up with the rest of them.
“We’re all fine now,” Sango answered, but… she was a little unsure. She glanced to the side, and Kagome followed her gaze to her sister, who was standing apart from the rest of them.
“Luna?” Kagome called to her. “You okay?”
“She seems rather distressed by what she saw,” Miroku said.
“I wonder what it was…” Sango uttered.
"I hope she's okay..." Shippo worried.
“Tche,” Inuyasha scoffed. “It’s not like it matters.”
Tumblr media
For a second, Luna didn’t answer; she barely registered Kagome and her friends talking behind her. With her back turned to the rest of them, she was zoned out. Hazel-brown eyes stared blankly at the beat up little polaroid photograph in her hand, but her gaze was thousands of miles away, and hundreds of years in the future.
It may as well have been a relic from a different time. In the photo were two blissfully happy teenagers. One, a girl with fluffy black hair that fell in waves just above her shoulders. The other was a boy with strawberry-blonde hair, eyes so blue the sea would be jealous of their sparkle, and cheeks sprayed with freckles. He held the girl in his arms, grinning as his lips hovered close to her temple, ready to press a kiss there.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha, chastising: “Inuyasha! Why would you say that?!”
Defensively, Inuyasha’s volume only increased. “What?! You all had nightmares, if she doesn’t wanna talk about it, then it ain’t our business anyway!”
Tumblr media
He's right, the little voice inside Luna's head whispered. It doesn't matter. It's not their burden to bear. Only yours. A burden you'll carry until the day you die...
"I love you, Lu."
You shouldn't have.
"I'll follow you anywhere."
You shouldn't have.
"I trust you... You can do this."
No, I couldn't. And now...
Worried about her sister’s lack of a response, Kagome went over to her, reaching for her shoulder. “Luna…?”
As she heard her sister step up behind her, Luna quickly hid the photo in the pocket of her flannel shirt. “I’m fine, you guys,” She said, loud enough for everyone else to hear. “Don’t worry about it.” She felt a single, solitary tear sliding down her face, and quickly wiped it as she turned back around.
Tumblr media
“You’re my sister, Luna,” Kagome said softly, “I’ll always worry about you.”
“I promise it’s fine. Not like I’ve never had nightmares like that before.” Blinking back more tears, she patted her sister on the back and moved back toward the group. “Anyone else ready to get the hell outta here?”
“Forgive me, Luna, but you look like you were crying just now.” Miroku said.
“Must be allergies,” Luna quickly lied, “Never took well to insects, and that cocoon was nasty.”
“No surprise there,” Inuyasha, dense as ever, turned and started leading them away. “C’mon! We can’t waste time going after Naraku.”
Kagome hesitated, then reached out to grab her sister’s hand, holding her back. “Luna, you know you can talk to me, right? You’d tell me if something was bothering you?”
Luna didn’t look at her. “It was just a bad dream, Kags. I have a lot of them—kinda comes with the job.”
Kagome didn’t believe her, but she didn’t have a choice other than to let it go. One of these days, you’ll have to open up, Luna. And I promise I’ll be there for you when you do.
~~~
Luna wasn’t sure where exactly she took a wrong turn, but here she was in the middle of the damn forest, with no way to tell which way was up.
The others had stopped to make camp for the night, but Luna couldn’t get that nightmare out of her head, so she told them she was gonna take a walk to shake it off. It was just a memory, one that played in her head so often she should be used to it by now, but… something was different about it this time.
In all the similar nightmares she’d had before, usually, she had no hands. No mouth. No voice. When she moved, it was like she was moving through jell-o. She saw him—those sea-blue eyes and hair like strawberry honey, freckles like constellations and a smile from Heaven itself—saw him say the things he’d said back then:
“I love you,” He whispered, holding her close as the night sky above them exploded with fireworks. She saw the trails sparkle in his eyes just before he leaned in and they shared their first kiss.
Then, it was months later, as the autumn leaves crunched under her boots and her shotgun felt heavier in her hand. But even as she revealed her secret life—one of monsters and magic and danger—he was unwavering. Resolute. “I’ll follow you anywhere,” he said as he took her hand.
The last part… she couldn’t bear to think about, but this was what changed the most with her new nightmare.
Usually, she just saw him offering her encouragement, even though he was the one bleeding from his eyes: “I trust you… you can do this.” Then, she would scream, but no sound would come out, she’d spiral down into darkness and wake in a cold sweat.
But this time, it was different.
After he’d pledged to follow her anywhere, she was taken back to the place it all ended—a little overgrown shack, hidden out in the woods about half a mile from her house. It was their special place; a secret clubhouse of sorts. Polaroids hung on a string on the wall, and the small tree growing in the corner bore their initials: L.H. + J.D.. Shadows danced on the walls, and she couldn’t see more than three or four feet in every direction.
In her previous dreams, she could never speak or move like she could in the waking world, but this time, she felt almost fully conscious. She stood where she always had, facing him down—the same man. The one she fell in love with.
But it wasn’t him.
His sea-blue eyes had been completely overtaken by pitch black. His hands had been too, like they were made of pure shadow; shadow that curled down his forearms. His teeth were just as she remembered; stained red from choking on his own blood.
“You did this.” It wasn’t his voice. It was the creature that had taken him. “You killed him, little moonchild.”
Tumblr media
She couldn’t argue. Her voice would work if she tried, but… even then, as she faced down the most lucid dream she’d had since the incident… she couldn’t speak.
“Nothing to say?” The demon taunted. “The eldest of the Mighty Higurashi family has nothing to say?”
“Shut up!” She’d finally said. She could feel the wetness of tears on her cheeks, but this had still been a dream. They floated around her like there was no gravity. “Is that all you have to say?!”
The demon seemed a little surprised of her response, so she kept going:
“I know! I fucked up! I brought him into a world he should never have been a part of, and I never should have in the first place! I put him in danger and I am the reason why he got killed!” The tears flowed freely, and even within the dream, she could feel her body shake with anger. “You can’t do shit to me, you greasy little fuck—anything you think you can say to me is shit I’ve already said to myself! You can’t hurt me!”
Tumblr media
Maybe that was what shattered the dream; she didn’t remember anything after that. But that was never something she would share with anyone else.
No one else had to know about Jack. She was going to take her damning mistake to the grave.
And… now she was lost. Again.
“I gotta find a way to make a medieval GPS tracker or some shit…” she grumbled, cursing herself for having forgotten her compass in her backpack.
But then came a voice, one she recognized.
“Miss Luna!”
Around the bend of a large tree sat the little girl she’d helped out her first night in the Feudal Era; Rin. It’d been, what? A week or two since? And no sign of “Lord Sesshomaru”.
“Hey kid, you get left behind again?”
“This woman again?” That was the little imp Jaken; the somewhat irritating second hand to Rin’s guardian. Luna merely arched an eyebrow at him. At least Rin wasn’t completely alone.
“It’s okay!” Rin assured her, “Lord Sesshomaru will be back! Come and sit with us, I’m glad to see you again!”
“Don’t just invite random humans over!” Jaken protested.
“I don’t think your friend here agrees,” Luna chuckled.
“Don’t worry about Master Jaken!” Rin giggled, much to the chagrin of the tiny demon. “I would like to know more about you!”
Tumblr media
Luna glanced away, hazel eyes locked in a thousand-yard stare. “...more about me, huh?”
“Yes,” the little girl nodded. “The last time we met, you said you were Miss Kagome’s older sister… are you a priestess like her?”
Luna chewed her lip, not sure how to answer. Pretty sure I don’t have powers like her... “I don’t think so. I’m more of… a demon slayer, I guess?”
That was only the first of many questions the little girl had for her. Why did she dress so strange? Where was she from? What was it like? Were there demons there too? Luna could barely keep up with answering all these questions.
“You talk way too much, Rin!” Jaken barked at one point. Luna watched the smile on Rin’s face falter, and glared at the little demon. “Hey, leave her be. I don’t mind.” She turned back to Rin, nudging her shoulder. “Why not tell me about you now, huh? How long have you been traveling with these two?”
When Luna had first met Rin, she had no idea that the “Lord Sesshomaru” the girl wanted to return to was actually Inuyasha’s cold, murderous older half-brother Kagome had described. Imagine her confusion when she had to reconcile the “evil, human-hating demon” with the guy this little girl trailed along behind so faithfully.
“Just a little while now!” Rin answered, “But it’s better than living around humans!”
Luna laughed. “You got that right… any reason why?”
“Well… I was alone… My family…” Rin’s face fell—the poor girl looked almost hollowly into the fire, hugging her knees to her chest as she recounted her past: “My parents and brothers… They were killed by bandits, then… after being on my own a while, I was attacked by wolves…”
There wasn’t a full moment of quiet before she perked back up again, grinning at Luna. “But Lord Sesshomaru saved me! And I’ve traveled with him and Master Jaken ever since! That’s why I don’t want to live with humans… humans are awful...”
Luna shrugged, sympathetic. “They can be, yeah. But you feel safe with these two, right?”
Rin nodded, grinning still. “Yes!”
“That’s the most important part.” She reached forward to ruffle the girl’s hair. “I was practically raised by a cat demon, you know.”
“Really?”
“Mhm. She’s protected my father’s family for three generations now—and she is hands down my best friend.”
“I don’t think I have a best friend…” Rin turned to Jaken, “Master Jaken, are we friends?”
“What?!” The little demon shouted, “No way! Why would a demon like me be friends with a human brat like you?!”
“Miss Luna’s best friend is a demon!” The girl pouted, and Luna swore she felt her heart melt.
“I’ll be your friend, kid.” She offered.
Seeing the little angel’s face light up like it did was absolutely everything. “Really?!”
“Yeah, really.” Suddenly, Luna got a weird little feeling in her gut. Like a disturbance in the Force, she joked to herself. Maybe it was just… the start of something bigger, something she wouldn’t know the full consequences of until much later.
“Actually…” She mumbled to herself. The gears turned in her head a little, and she turned back to look at Rin again. “You just gave me an idea.”
