It’s only after their mother dies and they get in contact with the first, unfriendly, demons that Inuyasha finds out that the human’s obsession over fitting everyone in one gender it’s weird for them too. They have already learned to keep quiet about what they think about themselves. What their body is, and isn’t, to them, they don’t tell the humans in the castle. Inuyasha doesn’t even tell their mother.

It has been a few years since they stopped living in the castle, when they have again the occasion to meet an human, on a moonless night. That particular one, as every other, is immediately concerned with their appearance, assuming their gender without even letting them speak.

Inuyasha doesn’t feel particularly attached to one nor the other, on a good day doesn’t even think about it.

(On a bad day somebody just has to remind them, usually while trying to kill them, and aren’t they lucky?)

They don’t go near another human settling for years after that night. Those are safer than the forests and fields, at least when they are weak, but they don’t have it in themselves to deal with stupid humans and their stupid way of thinking.

In a way this hurts more than being half breed. Their mixed heritage is on plain sight for everyone to see, and there is no mistake to be made (with the exception of one night per month): one look at their ears and the story of their birth is on plain sight for everyone to deduce.

But the way humans expect them to adapt to their roles, to dance to this tune they don’t fit in, just after one look at their body, that’s worst. Humans and demons alike hate them for their blood, but both of them just ignore how they feel about their body. It’s just irrelevant.

So Inuyasha makes sure that it’s irrelevant for themselves too. In any case they don’t even have the words to explain it, so why bother? It’s not like they have someone to tell, and the most important thing right now it’s to survive.

They never get around telling Kikyo about this too. She barely accepted their mixed blood, Inuyasha is not sure she can take more. They don’t want to take the risk of another rejection. As for the sacrifice they are willing to face, it’s not that different from the other one they already accepted to make when she asked, just another part of their identity they will have to renounce to.

Kagome is strange. She doesn’t question them and the way they present themselves, doesn’t even seem to notice. The girl has bigger problems anyways, it’s her fault if them both are on this quest. But she always looks at them with a bit more intention when they slip, in the way they refer to themselves, when the hyper masculine terms they use out of habit, to comply with the image others have of them, to not raise questions, get stuck in their throat. She always notices.

She asks one night, when everyone else it’s sleeping. They have just met Sesshomaru again and Inuyasha is quite proud of their victory, even if in reality the bastard run away just before Tessaiga could break definitively. Inuyasha still counts it as victory.

“It’s something that I have noticed before, but why did he refer to you with neutral terms?”

The asshole has never had anything to say about their gender obviously, as it’s normal for a demon, but Inuyasha doesn’t really want to explain to her. They huff and try to dismiss the question with a vague gesture and a “whatever” but she just keeps waiting patiently, peering at them from under her eyelashes. They both know that the answer it’s not simple, and the question is bigger than it could look to a mere bystander.

Inuyasha takes a breath. She has been on their side for a while now, and they don’t want to lose her. But at the same time she has already told them how irrelevant their mixed blood is for her. No. Not irrelevant. A part of them. Just a part of who they are, as normal as their hands and eyes, something that makes them THEM. If she could accept that, then maybe, just maybe…

Inuyasha doesn’t know how to explain, but Kagome is patient. It’s like a flood. When dawn comes, and, how? When? She stops them, shakes Sango awake and quietly informs her that she and Inuyasha are going back to her time. She then calls for Inuyasha and they start walking away from the camp. As soon as they are out of ears’ reach, she resumes the conversation.

She looks among books and books in the public library. Inuyasha just stands aside, the hat flattening their ears, trying not to draw attention and not to be in her way. They didn’t even stop to her house to say hi to her family, she knew she didn’t have anything of what she was looking for there.

“There must be something! I have read a couple of things but I cannot remember where I found them again!” she looks possessed, and Inuyasha is not going to bother her.

She comes up with a few books and articles from magazines, and is eyeing critically the huge computer in the backroom, pondering if to search on that too, since the Higurashi family doesn’t have one.

Inuyasha is not really listening to her. They are scrolling through the written text, trying to make good use of what little reading abilities they have, and to interpret the futuristic language and culture. Their worldview is being thrown off right now.

If for demons gender (and now they know the difference between gender and sex, and gender expression too, isn’t that neat?) is inconsequential, humans 500 years in the future keep spending a lot of time thinking and talking about it. Still, the revelation is another one. Demons don’t care about gender, you can’t use it against them. Humans don’t care too, they know where they fit and it comes natural to them to abide the unwritten rules that concern the sociality. Despite this, here Inuyasha gets a glimpse of another world. These books give them a place, among others, give their struggle a name and a reason and companionship. They are not the only one. There are humans too, here, going through something that might, with a stretch of imagination, be considered similar to their experience.

Kagome takes some books back home, essays and narrative ones, and some vhs to see on the television. Her family is nowhere to be seen and they are back to her room. Inuyasha feels safe there, the day has already been a mess, and their head is still spinning. “I don’t know where to look for more, but we need to understand better, honestly Inuyasha, why didn’t you speak sooner?”

They know her temper is without fire, that she is just worried, but it hurts the same. She must see their look, the flattened ears, because she backtracks immediately. “I’m sorry, I can understand why, it was a stupid thing to say. It’s just… I want to help. I would like for you to tell to the others too, but it’s your call. I’m sure they will want to understand though. That’s why I need to find more…” she is off again, checking on the list she compiled while looking for materials, and Inuyasha watches her go in the direction of the stairs and the living room, still shell-shocked.

“I didn’t even ask you!” She seems to have realized something, her voice still audible from the other room “I’m so bad at this, I’m sorry! Which pronouns should I use?”

Inuyasha can’t help the laugh that escapes their lips, they don’t know what to answer. But they will find out. There are words out there for them, just waiting to be discovered. Their experience can be told, and damn them if they are not going to.

—

A disclaimer: I am a cisgender woman, so my knowledge and undersanding of genderqueer identities can only be a secondhand one. This to say that I hope that I have not offended anyone with this depiction of this identity, and if I have I am deeply sorry, since it was not my intention.

For something so short I really had trouble writing this. First my native language doesn’t have the option of singular them, and I never had any occasion for using it before, so I’m sorry if I made mistakes. Second, Inuyasha the character, in the anime, while referring to themselves, uses Ore, an highly masculine way of saying me, and I didn’t want ignore canon completely even if I played fast and lose with the timeline, since I don’t remember what happened when. Additionally, and I never looked into the language so I’m not sure, I suspect that there are A LOT of pronouns whit different nuances in the spectrum between masculine and feminine in the Japanese language. So I had to take in account three language shifts while writing this tiny little thing. I’d like to add that while il like to think that my personal knowledge on transgender and genderqueer identities is not that bad, I haven’t the faintest idea of what 199something Japan might knew about it, so I kept on the conservative side (considering they are still a really closed off country about LGBT+ issues, I feel that it’s the most realistic portrait)

I cannot help but think about Inuyasha and a nonbinary or genderqueer identity. Assuming that for demons gender is something much less regulated by social norms than for humans, and that because of their upbringing Inuyasha didn’t get to receive a positive and validating explanation of gender and sexuality by none of the two cultures, I suppose that (in the feudal era!) it would have created in them an even higher sense of isolation and oddness. That’s probably why I love the idea of Inuyasha going to the pride for the first time (first gay pride in Tokyo was in 1994…) and in general realize that they are not alone.

It is a deeply difficult and isolating situation, not having the words to describe, even to ourselves, our identity, and I am happy that the modern ways of connecting with each other are lessening this kind of isolation.

this was written for day 5 of @inuyashapridemonth2020

For @inuyashapridemonth2020 !

I was originally going to wait and post this for Kagome/Ayame day next week, but as I wrote it the story become less about Kagome and eventually became a little ficlet of Ayame’s internal monologue & exploration of the possibility that she may be a lesbian. And since Ayame isn’t even in the manga, I think she classifies as “minor character” even though fanon loves her to pieces (as do I).

Ayame

Rating K

Words: 803

Ayame stomped around the den feeling black as a thunder cloud. What was so freaking special about Kagome? Everywhere she went it was Kagome this and Kagome that. Kouga "forgot" their engagement as soon as he met her. Inuyasha broke every barrier -- literally!-- to be by her side every day. Even Hakkaku and Ginta loved her like a sister! What made her so instantly lovable? Fine so she smelled like grass after a spring rain. Yes she had legs up to here and hips so plush you wanted to squeeze them til she popped. And maybe her eyes were the color of a sapphire, sparkling in the sun. So what? It's not like she was kind, or generous, or a natural leader.

Except… she was

Oh.

Huh.

Wait what?

Ayame ran for two days to find the group. She didn’t really have a plan- she just needed to see Kagome, to spend some time with her. To see if she was just jealous or if it was maybe something else. It probably wasn’t. Unless it was. Maybe? She’d never thought about her own feelings. She had Kouga and that was that. Her grandfather always made it very clear to the other males in the tribe, and every surrounding tribe, that she was spoken for. Always made it clear to her that she was spoken for. She never had to think about it, so she never really did. Now with Kouga rejecting their engagement everything had to be thought about. Would the alliance stand? Would the northern wolves survive Narku’s reign of terror? Who would she take as a mate now? Did she want to take a mate? Did Kagome taste as good as she smelled?

Maybe that one she shouldn't think about too much.

She was on a fool's errand and she knew it. She was an alpha's daughter, she had a responsibility to her tribe to provide cubs and grow their family. And she wanted to. Someday. Probably? Another thing to add to the list of things she never thought about but really should. Then again, Kouga was an alpha and yet he was off running after trouble instead of siring the next generation. If he could put off his duty to his tribe, maybe she could too. Not forever, just for a while. Maybe. Again she wasn’t as confident with her answers as she thought she should be.

Joining the group had gone smoother than expected. While she received a solid number of side-eye, glares, and raised eyebrows all discussion was ended as soon as Kagome accepted her. How could this little wisp of a thing, this human, be so confident? In her first few days traveling with them Ayame realized Kagome wasn't actually that confident at all. She was clumsy, and forgetful, and hot tempered. And yet when she made a decision she made a decision. Being surrounded by posturing males her entire life Ayame had never seen a woman with such easy authority before. She didn't have to shout her command - well, she did but that seemed to be by choice rather than necessity- her word was law and it was accepted. Is this what life was like outside of her pack? Kagome quickly accepted Ayame into their daily routine: helping to hunt, set-up camp, and always talking with her. It was comforting and welcoming in a way the strict hierarchy at home never was.

This routine would eventually come to include Kagome’s constant bathing. Ayame had never really understood human fascination with nudity. Wolf demon cubs were naked for the first several years of life, until they learned to control both their wolf form and create the glamour of clothing for their humanoid form. Some cubs choose never to take that form at all, preferring four legs and fur all the time. For Ayame, nakedness was everywhere in the den so it wasn't a big deal. So when the group stopped at their first hot spring and Kagome invited her to come and bathe with her and Sango she thought nothing of it. While the human girls turned their backs to each other while they disrobed, Ayame had a decision to make. Should she wash quickly in her wolf form or soak in the spring with the other women? From the amount of chatting already started, Ayame decided she would stay humanoid and join the conversation.

She shed her glamour and walked naked into the spring. For the first time in a long time Ayame felt self conscious of her humanoid form. She was lanky and muscular; Kagome was soft, squishy, and so touchable. Ayame could feel herself blushing as she looked at Kagome out of the corner of her eye. She's seen dozens of people naked before, but suddenly seeing Kagome naked she understood why it was such a big deal. She wanted Kagome to see her the same way she saw her: attractive, feminine, and desirable. Is this how the boys felt about her? Is this how she was supposed to feel about a mate? A partner? A lover? Ayame had so many questions, but sitting in the hot spring listening to Kagome talk about her family and her home village Ayame no longer felt scared of what the answers might be.
