Inukag Week, day 4: Modern

Fun fact! I came up with this story idea over a year ago! Thank fkn inukag week for giving me a reason to bang out the details!

Even funner fact? I DID NOT MEAN FOR IT TO GET THIS LONG 😅 My coworker really came in clutch so I could write during my shift today. Everyone say thank you Angel

@inukag-week

~~~~~~

Wish on a Star

"Pleeeease, Inuyasha! It's just one evening!"

"No way in hell!"

Kagome trailed after him as he stomped away from the well, jaw clenched in irritation.

"Y'know, usually, this is all reversed," Sango pointed out from where she, Miroku, and Shippo watched the other two. Miroku nodded in agreement, remembering how just the day before, Kagome and stomped to the sacred well, Inuyasha demanding that she stay and ignoring her annoyed refusals.

"Come on! I've spent all week investigating jewel rumors! It wouldn't kill you to spend one night with me back home!"

"You're right. And now we have to go out and actually look for all those jewel shards! We don't have time to screw around in your weird world. And even if we did, I have better things to do!"

The tense silence was broken when Kagome scoffed.

"Y'know what? Fine!" She huffed, turning on a heel and storming over to the others.

"Finally- hm?" Inuyasha watched as Kagome stood in front of Miroku, crossing her arms.

"Miroku? How would you feel about coming on a double date with my friend and I back in my era?"

Inuyasha and Sango's jaws dropped, and Shippo's eyes bugged out of his head, but Kagome didn't acknowledge any of them, keeping her eyes focused on the monk.

For Miroku's part, he looked a bit surprised, but smiled after a moment, turning to slide up beside Kagome and slip an arm around her waist.

"Why lady Kagome, I'm flattered that you thought of me! I would be honored to accompany you and your friend-"

Three different hands seized Miroku's wrist before his hand could slide any lower on her hip, and Kagome stepped out of his grasp before releasing her hold.

"Yeah, a move like that'll get you arrested back home, so keep your hands to yourself."

"You cannot! Bring Miroku!" Inuyasha insisted, turning his glare from the lecherous monk to Kagome.

"I can bring anyone I damn well please, if you don't want to go! Sango could come with me!"

"You can bring other people through the well now, Kagome!? I'll go!" Shippo cheered, jumping from Sango's shoulder into Kagome's arms. Catching him easily, Kagome's gaze shifted away.

"I mean, in theory…" she hummed, offering an apologetic smile when she met his eyes. "But a double date is… well, it's for people closer to my age. I'd love to bring you, but you're a little young yet."

He'd begun to pout, but did giggle when she playfully booped his nose.

"What's this double date business about, anyway, Kagome?" Sango asked, interested now that time travel was on the table and Miroku wasn't.

"My friend Ayumi got asked out by a guy from our school. She doesn't know him very well and didn't want to be alone with him right away, so she asked me if I could bring my boyfriend and make it a double date. Since I, apparently, have the most relationship experience in my friend group," she admitted with a wince. It wasn't even technically the kind of relationship they thought it was, but it wasn't like she could lay out all the gory details for her fellow modern highschool girls.

"Do you really think you could bring someone besides Inuyasha to your time?" Sango asked.

"Well, back when Inuyasha and I first met, a demon comb sent a bunch of hair through the well. We had to fight it in the well house before passing back through," she recalled, tapping her cheek thoughtfully. "And then when Inuyasha sent me back without my jewel shards, I couldn't pass through, so maybe that's the key?"

Glancing over her shoulder at Inuyasha, she smirked just slightly.

"Hell, maybe I'll track down Koga! He's got shards built in, and I'm sure he would love to hold my hand at a festival for a few hours."

"Why you-!" Inuyasha growled, turning away and crossing his arms. "Even if you could find him before tonight, you wouldn't dare."

"Mmm, you're right," she admitted, earning a smug smile from the half demon. Until, of course, he caught sight of the taunting look on her face. "It'll take too long to find him. Probably faster to bring him here."

Turning to the fox in her arms, she batted kitten eyes at him.

"What do you say, Shippo? You got any little tricks we can use to get ahold of the wolves? I'll bring back all kinds of tasty festival food for you!"

"No. Nope, nu-uh, not happening," Inuyasha stated, snatching the kit out of her arms and covering his mouth. "Fine! Fine, I'll go! Just don't show that flea-bitten wolf where we live! We'll never be rid of him once he knows where to find you!"

"Oooh, thank you thank you thank you!"

Kagome threw her arms around him, causing warmth to erupt across his cheeks. Taking Shippo from his hands, Kagome pecked the kit's forehead before handing him to Miroku.

"We'll be back first thing in the morning, you have my word!"

And with that, they were off again, Kagome hauling the grumbling half-demon back through the well.

~~~~~~

Brushing a bit of cat hair from her light cotton shorts, Kagome popped the door to her room open, smiling when she spotted Inuyasha on the bed, messing with Buyo's paws.

"So what exactly is it we're doing today?"

"We're going to the star festival! There's a parade and food and games- Maybe I'll win you a prize. If you loosen up a little by the time we meet Ayumi, you'll have a good time."

"Not my forte," he bit out.

"Unfortunate," she sighed. Pausing for a beat, she reached out to carefully pull a longer strand of hair away from his face and tuck it back with the rest. "Have you ever thought about tying your hair back?"

"Only when it's hot out. Why?"

"You should try it," she hummed, reaching up to run her fingers through his hair, letting the sideburns hang while pulling the rest gently away from his face. "You'd have to leave some down to cover for not having human ears while we're here, but I think it'd suit you."

"Whatever. Worry about your own hair," he said, batting her hands away. He was already fighting a flush, no need to make it worse. With a shrug, she let his hair fall from her fingers and moved to her bureau, picking up her brush. With another huff, he continued, "I don't know why I'm letting you drag me into this. Bad enough we're losing another day looking for jewel shards."

"Listen!" Kagome groaned, watching him in her mirror as she pulled the brush through her hair. "Between jewel hunting and studying, I don't actually get a lot of time to hang out with my friends from this time period! Despite how little I see them, they're important to me. Ayumi's never been on a real date before, and Yuka and Eri don't know much about this guy. She needs me, and I'm not going to let her down!"

She saw Inuyasha roll his eyes in the mirror, but blessedly, he stopped whining.

"And," she hummed, pushing back to her feet. "If that means we get to hang out eating festival food and playing some games while neither chasing nor being chased by demons, well, all the better, right?"

Inuyasha blinked in surprise, not missing the mischievous sparkle in her eyes. She handed him a bandana, scratching gently behind one ear to make it clear what he was meant to do with it.

"Now, I just need to get dressed and then we can go. Shouldn't be more than a few minutes - mom's gonna help me with my yukata," she stated, turning for the door. "I can never get the bow right…"

Inuyasha watched her head back out through the door, waiting until he heard another door close behind her before he stood from the bed. Looking in the bureau mirror, he hesitantly reached up, pulling his hair back as she'd suggested, holding it in a high ponytail as he examined himself.

She'd left out some hair ties. It couldn't be that hard.

Another moment passed, and he picked up the brush.

~~~~~~

"Hey, you tied your hair back!"

Inuyasha looked up from the cat, the words "let's get this over with" on the tip of his tongue, until he actually spotted Kagome.

She stood in the doorway, summer yukata hugging her shape. It was a pastel green, dotted with dark lily pads, pink flowers, and bright red and white koi fish. He kind of got what the guy from that play Kagome was reading was on about now: It is the east, and Kagome is the sun.

"Uh, yeah. Figured I'd try it."

"I was right, it totally suits you," she beamed, stepping closer while her mom followed her into the kitchen.

"Alright, do you have your wallet?"

"Got it!" Kagome nodded, holding up her little drawstring purse. "Thanks again for the help, mom."

"Of course, sweetheart," the older woman smiled warmly, resting her cheek in her hand. "Oh, the two of you look so cute together. Let me get my camera."

"Mom! We gotta go!" Kagome insisted, blushing as her mother went to a hall cabinet.

"It'll just be a moment, Kagome. And how often do you have the occasion to wear more traditional clothes?"

"More than you might think," she muttered, sighing but smiling fondly when her mother returned.

"In this time period," she amended, looking through the viewfinder at them with a grin. "Alright, smile!"

Kagome did as asked, automatically reaching out to wrap an arm around Inuyasha's. She let her mother click the camera a few times, winding the dial in between.

"There, see? Barely a minute," she smiled, winding the dial one more time so she wouldn't forget. "Ooh, I can't wait to get these developed!"

"I'm sure they'll be great mom, but we've got to go meet Ayumi now."

"I know, I know. Here, you know how some of those games can be," she reminded her daughter, pressing a few extra bills into her hand. "You two have fun."

Kagome paused, shaking her head as her smile softened. She wrapped her arms around her mom, holding her tight.

"We will."

Inuyasha, feeling a bit awkward, moved to head for the door, but mama Higurashi was faster, seizing the shoulder of his robes and pulling him into the embrace.

"That goes for both of you."

"Um. Yes ma'am."

Giving a soft sigh, she released them.

"Alright. Alright! Get out of here before I go for the camera again!"

~~~~~~

"Kagome, hey! Over here!"

"Ayumi!"

The clack of her sandals on the pavement rose above the din of the street as Kagome ran to embrace her friend as quickly as she could in her more restrictive yukata.

"Oh my God, you look so beautiful. You're gonna knock this guy's socks off!" Kagome grinned. Ayumi's yukata was pale blue, with a yellow obi and flowers, and her dark curls were pinned up and back with matching flowers, and if Inuyasha thought it was far inferior to Kagome's, well, he kept that to himself, letting the girls exchanged greetings.

"Right. Well, Inuyasha, this is Ayumi. Ayumi, this is Inuyasha."

"The famous boyfriend! It's so nice to finally meet you!"

"Uh, yeah, you too." Inuyasha awkwardly shook the hand she offered.

"Kagome's told me so much about you! Is it true you nearly killed a guy that hit on her-?"

"AlrightwellAyumi, I think we should try to find this date of yours! I'm excited to hear more about him!"

"Takaoji's going to meet us closer to the festival," she assured, taking Kagome by the arm and dropping her voice to a smug whisper. "So we have a few blocks for you to tell me why you didn't spend more time telling us how freaking hot your boyfriend is!"

Kagome felt her face go warm, and though Inuyasha's expression didn't change, she did catch his ear perking at Ayumi's teasing.

The trio headed towards the colorful banners and loud chatter, Ayumi keeping hold of her friend and Kagome keeping Inuyasha's hand in hers so he couldn't run off.

"We have all the time in the world for that! I've heard hardly a thing about this guy of yours!" she defended, hoping to turn focus from herself and Inuyasha.

"Well…" Ayumi smiled shyly, going along without complaint. "His name is Mikoshiba Takaoji. Our year, class B, starter on the basketball team…"

By the time they reached the festival, Kagome knew all the sordid details. Takaoji was old fashioned but very romantic, and left a candied apple in her shoe locker along with the letter where he'd asked her to meet with him. They had met in the West courtyard after their chorus and basketball practices, respectively. He had timed it so the light of the descending sun had just started to go golden. He'd even brought flowers. Kagome gushed with her over the whole story, endlessly happy for her friend to have caught the eye of someone so thoughtful and considerate.

When they finally found him, Kagome already had a very high opinion.

"There he is! Hey Takaoji!"

The boy who turned at her call was a bit taller than Inuyasha, dressed in a simple navy yukata. He had mousey brown hair and sharp, handsome features that softened the instant he spotted Ayumi. Kagome could see just how infatuated the guy was. He clearly only had eyes for Ayumi, and Kagome could swear she saw hearts in them.

"We didn't make you wait long, did we?" Ayumi asked, a little worried at his lack of greeting.

"... Wow," was all that came out, breathless and smitten. "I mean, ah, no, not long. I just… wow. You look amazing."

Ayumi giggled, her face going bright red, and Kagome wished that she had thought to ask to borrow her mother's disposable camera.

"Oh! Um, thank you…" she murmured, getting a bit shy. Kagome wanted to stand back and give them another moment to be adorable, but her first backward step drew their eyes, and she cursed herself.

"Oh! Takaoji, this is my friend Kagome, and her boyfriend Inuyasha."

"Nice to meet you! I've already heard so much!" Kagome grinned, flashing Ayumi a teasing look. "All good things, I promise!"

"I'm relieved to hear it. Same to you." He turned to Inuyasha, offering a grin and a fist. "Good to meet you, man."

Inuyasha looked at the offered fist until Takaoji awkwardly lowered his hand. Shooting him a glare, Kagome elbowed the half-demon in the side.

"You too. Man."

Kagome sighed, knowing it was the best she was going to get.

"How about something to eat and drink before we get started? Gotta stay hydrated, and I think this one's a bit hangry," she teased, linking her arm with Inuyasha's.

"That's a good plan! I've been craving takoyaki since they started setting up the festival!" Takaoji agreed, offering his arm to Ayumi, who took it with a giggle.

They went to the first takoyaki stand they could find, and got a few bottles of ramune (water for Inuyasha - the carbonation turned him off) to drink while walking around, enjoying the decorations and atmosphere.

It didn't take long until they ran into a line of trees decorated with colorful papers.

"The tanabata are already pretty full, huh?" Kagome observed, watching an attendant refill the tables with the slips of paper.

"Well, it is half the fun of this whole thing," Ayumi stated, drawing the eye of her date. Takaoji flashed her a sweet smile.

"Do you wanna write something for the wishing tree?"

"Oh, definitely!"

The pair slipped away toward the table, chatting happily. Inuyasha's brow furrowed and he leaned down to whisper to Kagome.

"What's a wishing tree?"

"Exactly what it says. You write down wishes and tie them to the tree, and at midnight they're burned to send the wishes to heaven."

"Ain't it faster to just, y'know, make a wish?"

"Yeah, but wishes you just say out loud don't decorate trees for festivals," she pointed out, pulling him towards the table. He scoffed, but did stay close while she stopped to write her wish. His eyes scanned the other people around the table - kids and elderly and all ages in between. Ayumi and her date were a little further down, but there was a pair of girls in pink and orange yukata across from them that caught his eye.

"What are you gonna wish for?"

"The same thing I wish for every day; one more day with you~"

The first girl called her companion a cornball and threw a pen at her, and Inuyasha's gaze shifted down to the colored papers on the table.

When Kagome stood to tie hers on, Inuyasha stooped, scooping up a pen and a green strip of paper before he could talk himself out of it.

When he stood from writing his message, doing his best to ignore how warm his face felt, he suddenly felt boxed in.

"What'd you wish for?"

Inuyasha jolted at Ayumi's sudden presence, whipping around to look at her.

"I-I was just- uh.." His gaze flickered to Kagome by the line of wishing trees, and when he looked back, Ayumi's smile was a bit more knowing.

"I knew you were more romantic than she was letting on," she sing-songed, taking a step back to let him breathe.

"You- what?"

Ayumi set down her pen, humming thoughtfully.

"Yuka and Eri think I'm pretty naive. And I know I can be sometimes. But I've known Kagome since we were kids, so I know better than most that she's an amazing person with a good head on her shoulders. If she's kept you around this long, there must be something there worth sticking around for. I know you guys fight a lot, but she clearly cares about you. And when you make her happy, you make her really happy."

Inuyasha winced a little at the mention of their fights. He couldn't imagine that she had painted him in the best light to her friends after storming down the well in a huff so many times. He followed Ayumi's gaze, spotting Kagome now chatting with a (mildly terrified) Takaoji.

"Kagome wants to be with you," Ayumi continued, looking back at Inuyasha. "Even when it's hard or painful. Which is why I need you to make it as easy and painless as you can."

Inuyasha felt his ears droop under the cloth on his head.

"That being said," She hummed cheerfully, her smile turning somehow cold. "I have also heard plenty about this ex of yours. Beautiful, talented, nasty in a breakup? I understand that feelings about past relationships can be complicated, but get a clue. Kagome deserves nothing less than devotion. Figure your crap out. Because if you hurt her bad enough, I'll find you before she gets around to giving you another chance. I don't care how elusive you've been till now, I'll find you, and I'll ruin you. Are we on the same page?"

Inuyasha found himself swallowing hard. He generally wasn't scared of humans, but he could tell that Kagome's friend meant business. And no matter how much he liked Kagome's family, he didn't expect them to keep the well a secret if Ayumi's concerns about him were realized.

"The situation with Kikyo is… messy. We're working on it. The last thing I ever want is to hurt Kagome."

"Good."

Her expression relaxed again, and she looked to her friend and her date again.

"Would have been better if you kept the element of surprise, though. Why warn me?"

"It's only fair. Besides, shovel talk begets shovel talk," she added, nodding to the others. Kagome looked as chipper as ever, but Takaoji was pale as a ghost.

"You guys ready to check out some games?" Kagome asked, innocent as could be. Takaoji gave her a wary sideways glance, and Inuyasha wondered just what she'd told him. They started towards the game booths, and Inuyasha slipped away for just a moment, sliding the string on his paper around a branch before quickly returning to the group.

Behind him, a festival attendant, curious at the secrecy, couldn't help but check the slip.

Let me keep her. As long as possible.

~~~~~~

"Do you guys wanna do die cutting?"

"Die cutting?" Inuyasha asked, eyes lighting up as he reached for his sword. Kagome stayed his hand, glad that Ayumi's enthusiasm for the suggestion covered his excitement at the thought of pulling his weapon.

"Inuyasha," Kagome hissed, pulling him a step away and keeping her hand firmly over his on the hilt of his sword. "This does not require magic demon weapons! You cut out little shapes out of delicate candy!"

Inuyasha frowned, clearly disappointed. Kagome sighed.

"I don't know what you expected. It's a festival. There are no demons in this era, so there's no reason to expect a fight on your scale!"

"No demons? I seem to recall a certain Noh mask-"

"The Noh mask is an exception, not the rule. The worst that'll happen is we'll get mugged, and you don't need to draw a massive, physics-breaking sword to fend off a human mugger, right?"

Inuyasha pouted, but sighed.

"Fine."

"Thank you. Now do you want to try playing the right way?"

~~~~~~

After that, things went much more smoothly. Inuyasha took the games a little seriously at first, but by the third stall, he'd loosened up. Kagome hadn't seen him have this much fun since he and Sango started really letting loose while sparring, and that had been a while ago. They got through fish-scooping, yoyo water balloons, and super ball scooping without incident. Kagome wiped the floor with them all at the shooting range, no contest, and draped the long green dragon plush she won over Inuyasha's shoulders.

They stopped for grilled squid at another booth in between, and Inuyasha declared the yakisoba they got later "the next best thing to cup ramen", which Kagome had to explain was high praise coming from him. They even found a few more modern carnival games mixed in - Takaoji had Inuyasha beat at free-throws, but Inuyasha obliterated him at the High Striker. And sure, the guy running the thing was pretty miffed that Inuyasha had sent the bell flying. But when Inuyasha handed Kagome the giant plush shiba he had won with a look of such excitement and pride, well, she couldn't even find it in her to be mad.

"Man, where do you even get muscles like that?" Takaoji asked, somewhere between envious and awestruck at the display as they left the test of strength, the machine now closed for repairs.

"Years of training," he shrugged, brushing off the compliment but clearly enjoying the attention.

"Training in what, whacking boulders in half?" he laughed, taking a seat on a nearby bench. Ayumi settled beside him, happily cradling the smaller tanuki plush he'd won for her before Inuyasha broke the game. Inuyasha sat at the other end of the bench, with room between himself and Ayumi for Kagome. Kagome, however, stayed standing, setting the large dog plush in her seat.

"I think I'm going to grab a shaved ice. You guys want one?"

"Ooh, that sounds good!" Ayumi cheered, and Takaoji laughed and nodded in agreement.

"Great! What flavors?"

"Melon if they have it, red bean if not," Takaoji asked, pulling out his wallet. "Here, I'll cover Ayumi and I."

"No worries, my treat!" She assured, waving away the offered money. "Inuyasha?"

"Surprise me. I trust you," he assured, not missing the way her expression went fond at such a simple thing. After a moment, Ayumi stood back up.

"I want to see what they have before I decide. I'll go with you."

"We can all go, then."

"Nah, you guys can sit. We'll be right back," Ayumi insisted, giving Takaoji a sweet smile that silenced any argument.

As the girls disappeared into the crowd, Inuyasha waited just a beat before sliding closer to the other boy, moving the dog but leaving one seat worth of space between them.

"Listen kid," Inuyasha sighed, ignoring Takaoji's mutter of "we're the same age..". "I don't know Ayumi from Adam. She's Kagome's friend, I just met her today." His gaze shifted to the other boy, pinning him to the bench. "But she's important to Kagome, and that's important to me. You've been all good and sappy all day, and that's great, but you better stay that way. Between me and Kagome, if you do anything at all to hurt that girl, you won't live long enough to regret it, are we clear?"

"C-crystal…" The taller boy promised, giving a nod. Inuyasha was a little annoyed that he didn't look half as scared as when Kagome threatened him, but it was probably for the best. He could already see the girls through the crowd again, and he'd rather not have to explain why this guy looked sick.

"See? You barely had time to miss us," Kagome laughed, plopping down on Inuyasha's other side and very pointedly not asking about why he'd moved, instead offering him a cup of shaved ice. "Here, I got you mango. I don't think you've tried it before."

"You've never had anything mango, Inuyasha?" Ayumi asked, sitting a bit more cozily with Takaoji and giving him his cup.

"Haven't really thought too hard about it," he said, figuring it was better than saying he'd never even heard of mango. He couldn't remember Kagome bringing anything with that flavor, or if she had, Shippo got to it before he had a chance.

He took a bite and hummed, smiling around the spoon.

"Hey, that's pretty good!"

"Told you so."

"Did not!"

"Whatever you say," Kagome sighed with an eyeroll, holding up her spoon and cup in surrender. "Oh, we've got to stop at a taiyaki stand before we leave. I promised Shippo I'd bring him back something sweet."

"Who's Shippo?"

"A bratty pain in the ass," Inuyasha smirked, taking a large spoonful of dessert.

"His little brother," Kagome amended, patting Inuyasha's shoulder as he groaned through his brain freeze.

Once the shaved ice was gone and the taiyaki purchased, the group figured it was time to disperse for the evening. Takaoji and Ayumi's curfew was fast approaching, and the last trains would be leaving soon.

"You sure you'll be okay getting home?" Kagome asked as they reached the station.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Takaoji's gonna walk me once we get to my stop," she assured, a bit shy but clearly pleased with how things turned out.

"He seems like a really good guy. I'm happy for you, Ayumi."

"Right back at you!" She chirped, giving Kagome's hand a squeeze and smiling warmly. "For all your gripes about him, it's obvious you both really love each other. Eri and Yuka were super worried, you know."

Kagome felt her eyes widen and her face warm.

"Ayumi! The train's leaving!"

"Coming!"

"Call me as soon as you get home!" Kagome ordered, pulling her into a final hug.

Ayumi hugged back quickly and rushed off with a nod and a wave, jumping through the doors moments before they closed. Kagome hurried back towards the entrance where she'd left Inuyasha. She hadn't felt like explaining that the train was not, in fact, a demon, and was glad for her foresight, after what Ayumi had said.

She knew she could be a bit obvious with her feelings for Inuyasha. Even if he didn't see it, everyone else seemed to. But Inuyasha? Sure, she hoped, and occasionally had moments where she really thought, but she didn't really believe it, did she? He was her friend. He protected her, got defensive of her, even trusted her, which not many people could say, though the number was growing. But love her? So obviously that Ayumi, who'd never met him before that day, could see it?

"They gone?"

She looked up from her musings, spotting Inuyasha leaning on one of the handrails at the top of the stairs, massive stuffed dog at his side.

"Yep. We can head back now," she nodded, letting him fall into step beside her as they turned for home. "Thanks for being such a good sport about all this. I know you weren't really enthusiastic about it at first, but you ended up having a pretty good time, right?

"Yeah, I guess that wasn't so bad."

"Good."

"... Still think it would've been more fun with Koga?"

Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Okay, you know I was never actually going to invite Koga, right?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"I mean it! I asked you to come with me first because I wanted you to be my date. I wouldn't have even thought to ask Miroku if he hadn't been right there while you were making that whole big stink about it," she insisted, pulling him to a stop by the arm so he would look at her. "Besides, those wolves might live in a waterfall, but they've never bathed properly in their lives."

The scoff he gave this time sounded more like a laugh and she smiled at him.

"I wanted you here. I still want you here. And… as fun as it would be to have the others visit my side of the well, if only one other person can pass through, I'm glad that it's you."

Her hand slid down Inuyasha's arm, fingers lacing neatly between his. Inuyasha felt his face go warm, but he closed his hand around hers and gave a soft squeeze.

"Yeah," he murmured, "me too."

Kagome beamed at him, pulling him back into the sparse flow of pedestrians with their hands still linked.

They only made it about ten paces before Inuyasha stopped.

"What's up?"

He pointed upward.

The electric sign overhead flickered, a dark spot in the top reflecting the colored lights.

Wedged into the sign, Kagome could make out the outline of the bell from the top of the high striker.

"Oh. So that's where it ended up."

"Didn't go as far as I thought."

Kagome snorted. Inuyasha's shoulders shook. All it took was a glance at one another before they devolved into raucous laughter, leaning into each other in an effort to stay standing.

~~~~~~

Funnest fact: when I originally came up with this concept, I doodled the high striker bell stuck in the sign with Kagome and Inuyasha looking up at it, and the sign said kung pow penis

A/N: I started this piece two years ago, and I finally figured out what was missing from it! Hope you guys are able to enjoy it because I’m stoked with how it turned out.

Summary: Post!Cannon. InuYasha and Kagome have been married for a few months and spend an evening under the stars.

II Archive of Our Own: here IIFanfiction.Net: here II

-X-

There wasn’t a cloud in sight tonight, and deep hues of blue and purple stretched out much further than Musahi’s domain. A few months passed since Kagome returned through the Bone Eater’s Well, and spring already yielded to the sticky humidity of summer. InuYasha hardly noticed it. With Kagome around, he didn’t pay attention to the lengths of the days or how cool the shade could keep him. He just paid attention to her.

InuYasha breathed in the scent of lilies and bergamot; he couldn’t hide his smile if he tried. It only widened at the telltale sound of soft footfalls. “How’d it go?” He asked Kagome before she could even sit down.

“It was another false alarm.”

“Damn. Even before it’s born, that kid’s a handful.”

Kagome laughed, taking her seat beside the half-demon. “I missed this,” she confessed, smoothing out her red hakama.

“We were just here this afternoon,” InuYasha carped, ‘cause sure, the grass was a darker shade of green now that the sun had set, but it was still the same damn place. He watched his wife for a moment, noticed how the nearby fireflies followed her—how they circled them both in an ethereal glow.

Kagome sighed, turning her attention skyward. “It’s just that back in the other world, I used to sneak into the mini-shrine after everyone was asleep. I knew it wouldn’t work, but I still got mad when I’d hop in the well, look up, and see the roof.” She brought her legs to her chest, wrapping her arms around them.

The other world... InuYasha thought to himself, following her gaze. “I would’ve killed for that view; I hated looking up and seeing this shit,” he countered, offering Kagome a lopsided grin. She hummed her acknowledgment, resting her head on the tops of her knees.

Four years ago, the two spent tons of nights like this, although pops from the fire and idle chatter from their friends usually kept them company. For three of those years, the only things InuYasha got to keep were the memories. Part of him believed it was meant to end up that way. Felt down to the bone that it was best for someone like Kagome to be with family, friends, and those pesky tests from her world. He practically dragged her through the well when they were looking for the Sacred Jewel shards and Naraku, so InuYasha never once considered that a world without him could be as empty as she described. Figured she just wouldn’t have the time to miss him. It was a lucky break that Kagome returned to this world saying she wanted to stay. Now, all they had was time. Time for him to wait around while she helped villagers, time to sit with her when she was done, and time to protect her so she’d be able to do the same for him.

“InuYasha, what are you thinking about?” Kagome asked, reaching out to brush her hand against his arm. The half-demon flopped backwards, crushing the damp grass below.

He pillowed his head with his hands, turning to look up at Kagome. InuYasha liked the dip of her nose, the way her lips rested. “How I’m always going to protect you,” he replied. It wasn’t a new declaration, but he still meant it. Besides, he couldn’t send her away when things got tough anymore, and Kagome couldn’t run home if she got mad at him–well, that wasn’t exactly true. The second Kagome grabbed his hand a few months back, he became the home she’d run to. The same kind of home she’d been to him for so long.

Kagome leaned over InuYasha, reaching down to caress his cheek. “Keep talking,” she told him, batting her eyelashes prettily. There was no way he’d deny her.

“What am I supposed to talk about, Woman?” InuYasha barked, his gruff frown staying put even after it elicited a small bout of laughter from the priestess—damn, she was a sight though. Hair black as ink on a scroll, scrunched nose with a smile.

“Anything,” Kagome said, drawing out the word so longingly that InuYasha almost asked her to keep talking.

“You’re distracting me,” InuYasha pointed out since Kagome made a habit of it. She distracted him from all sorts of stuff like the Sacred Jewel, his dreams of becoming a great demon, his insecurities, and the typical destiny of half-demons. Yet all she could do in light of the notion was ease herself down beside him like she belonged there. And for the record, she always had.

“Oh?”

InuYasha just wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer. Kagome rested her head on his chest, tracing circles across the robe of the fire rat. “I’m trying to stargaze–isn’t that why you told me to wait out here in the first place?”

“Yep, and I’m so sorry,” Kagome offered half-heartedly, shifting around so she could look over at him. InuYasha couldn’t really describe it; they were together under a dark night sky, but somehow Kagome made it feel as if they were looking up at a clear morning one. The type where the sun made a measly wick in oil out of the night’s brightest campfire.

“You should apologize since you’re the one that wanted me to look at these damn things. Coulda been home by the fire,” InuYasha scoffed.

“Are you cold? Do you want me to warm you up a little?” Kagome asked, and before he could answer she started kissing stars across his jaw, his cheeks, and forehead. InuYasha closed his eyes, claws skimming the fabric by her hips. He wanted to pull her flush to him, feel her weight. “Kagome...” Her name trickled like a line, turning each peck into a constellation.

“InuYasha,” Kagome echoed, lips hovering teasingly above his. But he learned never to hesitate, just to kiss her whenever he could.

InuYasha moved languidly in tandem with her lips. The half-demon brushed the pad of his thumb across her cheek while she repositioned herself, hoisting her leg across his torso to straddle him. “You know, I used to never believe in people like you.”

“Time travelers?” Kagome asked, snapping out of her haze and cocking her head to the side.

“No, Stupid, I was one of those too,” InuYasha deadpanned, earning him a playful pout. “Humans like you.” He used to not need them, either. In the past, he never needed anyone. At least, that’s what he told himself when he decided to carve out a place for one. The notion became the foundation of his home, a mantra that tagged along everywhere he went since no one bothered challenging it.

“Until Mistress Centipede popped out of the well, I also didn’t believe in you.”

“Really? It was that old crone?”

“Oh yeah, Gramps used to tell me stories about ghosts and demons growing up, but I never bought any of it. Imagine my surprise when Mistress Centipede was dragging me to this world. Then I met you, and I had no choice but to believe,” she explained.

“Guess I kinda owe her one for that,” InuYasha admitted.

“She did tie us together, kind of like how we are now—huh?”

“I think you mean,” InuYasha paused for a moment, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into a hug, “she tied us like this.” He squeezed her even tighter.

Kagome’s surprised squeak transformed into a fit of giggles as InuYasha ran his hands up her back and bent his head down to kiss her neck. “InuYasha, stop it,” she chided, pushing against his chest, but he didn’t move. “It wasn’t like this!”

InuYasha took the opportunity to switch positions. In seconds Kagome was gazing up at him, black hair fanning out on the grass. He caged her in, knees on either side of her waist, palms of his hands resting by her ears. His silver hair curtained them. “You’re right, we were pinned just like this,” he concurred.

“No, you were pinned,” she countered, reaching up to grab his forelocks. InuYasha raised his brow and Kagome shot him a coy smirk before jerking them down. InuYasha closed his eyes, his nose now brushing against hers. “But I remember us being like this. Tell me, InuYasha, do you still want me to let go of you?”

“No,” he replied, and she tugged on his forelocks a second time to bring their lips together.

InuYasha pulled back from her to give them just enough room to grab a breath. Just a moment so he could remind himself of where they were, but he didn’t need it. The half-demon dipped down to kiss her again, brushing his tongue along her lips until they opened and her arms encircled him. A rush of energy sparked in his core, and when he inhaled, there was so much of Kagome. Her scent and touch and taste.

How'd he do it? How’d he inspire Kagome to travel through time to end up in his arms? To end up in this place where there were forests that stretched on forever and demons and wooden carts instead of pink iron ones? “Kagome,” he said, lifting himself up. Tousled tendrils of her dark hair framed her features, making her nearly glow. They fell to the side when she wrapped her arms around his waist. InuYasha moved to lay next to her instead, resting his head in the palm of his hand and draping an arm around her. “What you said earlier… me, too.”

“What?”

InuYasha tucked Kagome’s hair behind her ears. “About having to believe in people like me. I’m really glad we met.”

“InuYasha…” His ear twitched at the sudden sound of several straw sandals crunching in the distance. He rolled over to flop on his back and grabbed Kagome’s hand. “InuYasha?” She inquired, but he didn’t have to answer her.

“I can smell them, they’re right over here!” Shippo announced and the half-demon groaned, slapping his free hand over his face and sliding it down. He stood up then, careful of the hand he was holding. InuYasha wordlessly stuck out his other hand and helped Kagome up.

“Man, we shoulda just gone home,” he grumbled, glaring ahead as Kagome brushed off her hakama. “What the hell are you lot doing out this late?” InuYasha called out while Kagome stood on her tiptoes to pluck a piece of grass out of his hair.

“Shippo decided to test out a new fox demon technique that woke up Hisui and the girls,” Sango explained.

“We decided to take a walk; hope we aren’t interrupting anything,” Miroku added with a predictable waggle of his brows.

InuYasha scowled. “As if,” he huffed, stuffing his hands into his sleeves.

“I asked InuYasha if we could sit outside for a few minutes to stargaze,” Kagome said, letting go of his hand to walk up the hillside.

InuYasha watched as she joined their friends. Kagome looked right standing with all of them.

He didn’t get the chance to tell her that when they met, she gave him no choice but to believe in the people like her, too. Kagome was the human who tossed offerings from villagers and family heirlooms to a half-demon like him as if he earned them. It was Kagome who laid out plans to carve out a place fit for a village and wanted him there. Kagome, the one who InuYasha’d never need because he hadn’t ever needed anyone before. But her ridiculous clothes and her floral scent changed his mantra. He hadn’t even noticed it—still couldn’t name the moment he found a home in Kagome. It just happened. She told him he wasn’t alone anymore and when he looked around, he saw everyone standing there; a priestess, a fox-demon, a monk, a demon slayer, and their family.

“Come on, InuYasha!” Kagome hollered and said half-demon shook his head. “Are you going stay down there?”

“Are you kiddin’!?” InuYasha bounced back, starting the stomp to their sides. InuYasha threw his arms back for his head to rest on. “I ain’t going to stay anywhere, not without you,” he told Kagome, offering the hill a passing glance. He had a feeling he’d be back tomorrow.

What would've happened if Miroku, amid battle, accidentally sucked in a Sacred Jewel Shard into his wind tunnel?

Like, oh dear god. Everyone would be so terrified. Would the jewel cease to exist? It'd forever be incomplete. Would it kill Miroku?

InuKag Week 2023 Day 3 - May 31. Safe @inukag-week

∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙ Of all the people that Inuyasha could have swapped bodies with, he was glad it was with the one person he knew he could trust unconditionally. Kagome. AO3 ∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙

As Inuyasha sat leaning against one of the walls of Kaede’s hut, he watched his body sleep peacefully. Man, was it a strange sight.

It had been one hell of a crazy day. Inuyasha remembered how the witch had gotten the drop on them, hitting him and Kagome with a spell that had swapped their bodies. Thankfully, Miroku and Sango had been there to protect them, otherwise the witch’s pet demons would have done them in.

He didn’t like the thought of being a useless human for too long, but hopefully this bit of nonsense would be over soon. Kaede was on the case. As the village priestess, she knew her way around fixing this sort of stuff.

At least it was Kagome he had swapped bodies with. She was the one person he knew that he felt he could trust implicitly. He knew that she cared for him a lot, and that she would literally die for him if given the chance. She’d almost done so before.

Kagome was the one who had protected him when he was human on the moonless night many times and was also the one who would sleep out in the weather to comfort him when he was kicked out of a village inn for the millionth time. He loved her for it, but he also worried for her health and safety because of it.

He knew he could trust her with his life, and thus he could trust her with his body too, just as she trusted him.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and smiled contentedly as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙ AN: That particular scene feels like it’s complete, but I still have more ideas that I want to write out, so, here’s a bonus scene for you all! This next one is set the next day in the same universe as the previous scene. ∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙

Inuyasha felt really dumb for just stomping off into the woods like that. Had he really been so angry as to forget that he was a weak human for the moment? He really should go back and apologize to Kagome for running off with her body like this.

Mind made up, Inuyasha started walking back the way he came.

-∙--∙-

Inuyasha’d gotten most of the way back to the village when he heard something large crashing through the forest behind him. He reflexively looked over his shoulder at the sound and saw a large beetle demon heading right for him.

Oh crap.

Inuyasha suddenly remembered that he was carrying the Sacred Jewel Shards in the bottle that Kagome usually never parted with. That demon was after the Shards and was going to kill him to get them.

He wasn’t carrying a bow or any arrows, not that he could really shoot a target anyways, and he didn’t really know how to use Kagome’s spiritual powers to purify demons otherwise, so he decided to run the short distance towards the village as fast as he could. He only hoped that he would make it in time.

As Inuyasha ran, he saw a flash of red and white pass him before he heard the sound of a sword being drawn.

Surprised, Inuyasha turned to look behind him. He saw Kagome hack the demon bug in half with Tetsusaiga before she turned towards him and sheathed the sword.

Kagome then walked towards Inuyasha and said, “Inuyasha, you ran off into the woods alone! What were you thinking?!” She paused for a moment and took a deep breath before continuing, “Inuyasha, you were almost demon food!” She looked exasperatedly worried.

Inuyasha gulped. He didn’t like it when Kagome chewed him out, deserved or not.

Kagome took another step closer to him and started checking him for cuts and bruises. She looked at his face first, and, having seen nothing there, grabbed his hands to check them next.

Feeling quite embarrassed by Kagome’s sudden proximity, Inuyasha pushed her away from him, saying, “Kagome, I’m fine!” Kagome worried too much.

Annoyed, Kagome replied, “But Inuyasha, you were just attacked by a demon!”

At that, Inuyasha said, “So?! That demon didn’t get me! You killed it yourself!” He was fine. There was no reason for Kagome to be so worried now.

Kagome’s brows furrowed even further as she exclaimed, “Inuyasha! You could have died, you idiot!”

Feeling very frustrated, Inuyasha looked away from her and said, “Keh!” Kagome clearly wasn’t going to budge on this, so…

Inuyasha stiffened as he felt Kagome suddenly hug him. His face was now pressed into his own bright red Fire Rat Robe and his nose was being tickled by his white hair. Weird.

He heard Kagome say, “Inuyasha, I care about you. You’re a human right now. Please just let me protect you!”

Inuyasha felt even more embarrassed than before, but… Kagome was making sense. Lots of it. He was a human. In fact, he was in her body, so he really should be more careful with it. Arg, it was always so frustrating when she was right.

Inuyasha said, “Kagome! I… Arg, I know! I should be more careful!” He didn’t like admitting that he was wrong or that he was vulnerable, even to Kagome. Still, that didn’t change the feeling of safety that he felt around her. He knew that she would never intentionally stab him in the back, for any reason.

In the past, showing any weakness could have gotten him killed, so he had the habit of putting up a tough guy façade around everyone. That included Kagome. He wanted to let his walls down around her, but… he wasn’t quite ready yet.

Kagome’s hug tightened for a moment before she let go and backed up a step. She said, “Inuyasha, let’s go back now.”

Inuyasha agreed, saying, “Sure.” He wanted to get back to safety, preferably before any more demons turned up.

Inuyasha followed Kagome as they walked back to Kaede’s hut.

-∙--∙-

It had been a rather short walk back, but Inuyasha had been walking and or running all day, so he sat against the wall facing the door. His puny human legs needed a break, since they were screaming at him from the exertion.

Kagome, who had entered just before him, sat down next to him and asked, “Inuyasha, you ok?”

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and then down into his lap. He didn’t want to answer that. He was fine, but tired from all that running around.

Inuyasha was surprised when Kagome scooted a bit closer to him. They were almost touching thighs now.

Kagome looked him over then said, “Inuyasha, you’ve exhausted yourself, haven’t you.”

Kagome was spot on. Inuyasha nodded his head yes and slumped against the wall. He was almost tempted to lie down, because his body was so tired.

In an attempt to comfort him, Kagome offered, “Inuyasha, you could lay across my lap?”

Surprised by her offer, Inuyasha said, “Uh…” He wasn’t sure what to make of the offer. He was tired, but…

Kagome continued, “I’ll keep watch for you!” He knew that. She’d proved it many times before.

Oh, what would it hurt. He was tired, and Kagome was there. He said, “Sure.”

Inuyasha turned with his back towards Kagome before he laid back onto Kagome’s legs.

He was now staring up at Kagome. He couldn’t help but find the sight of his own head from below was really strange. He’d never really seen himself this way before. Man, was it weird to be able to look at his own body from the outside.

That brought to mind how he’d been surprised yesterday by how the backside of his head looked. He’d never seen just how weird his ears appeared from behind. Also, Kagome really was right. His hair did look like a tangled mess. It wasn’t like he didn’t know just how bad his hair was, but he’d never really realized that it was that obvious to everyone else too. He now kinda understood why Kagome was always asking to brush his hair out. She was the type that liked baths and nice combed hair a bit too much so his tangled mop probably bothered her.

He was lucky that she’d not gotten the chance to mess with his hair quite yet. It probably would be as neat and clean as her hair usually was. Oh well. It was kind of inevitable, wasn’t it.

As Inuyasha laid there, his thoughts drifting, he closed his eyes and relaxed completely. He knew that Kagome would keep him safe from the world, the same as he would do for her.

∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙ Blooper:

As Inuyasha sat in Kagome’s lap with her arms around him, he relaxed into her embrace. He knew he was safe with her there. She would protect him the same as he would protect her. He knew it.

Kagome would protect him from every evil in the world if she could.

∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙ AN: This scene was just begging for me to write it, so I did. I hope you all like it!

Also, now that I’ve written and re-read it, I can’t help but think that it really fits last year’s day 2 prompt of ‘Role Reversal’ quite well too.

To be honest, I’m not sure where them arguing came from, but I hope it fits. ∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙-∙

Received several questions last night on the bird app re: Gisele’s favorite piece she’s ever designed, and it's by far her Princess regalia. She first wore it for her coronation ceremony at the Vault following the big wedding in Ishgard, and it's still her favorite on formal occasions of state. Of course, Gisele being Gisele, it was designed with the utmost attention to detail and an eye toward symbolism, both obvious and subtle.

That it's an armored gown is intentional; Ishgard was at war a thousand years, despite its recent peace, and it's a reminder of her role in ending that. The armored portions were contributed by House Haillenarte's master armorsmith, as it was a bit beyond her as a goldsmith, but more importantly it’s a visual reminder of her as a member of that High House as well, for all her association with House Fortemps.

Speaking of: while the cape is made of white silk brocade meant to symbolize the eternal winter of Coerthas, the cape--fine spun of karakul wool, trimmed with ermine--is in her signature shade of Fortemps Red, which by Ishgardian sumptuary law is proscribed to all but members of the House as a reminder. The snowflakes are a nod to Saint Shiva (specifically Ysayle’s interpretation of her), while the star at the top represents the Dragon Star and her work as an Astrologian. (And because this woman is nothing if not extra, the cape floating off the ground is very much by design; she wove an enchantment with wind shards into it, so that it doesn't drag the ground when she walks and get dirty.)

The jewels throughout the ensemble are seed pearls for a healer’s otherworldly protection, and garnets. Her crown is forged from titanium/aurum regis alloy, metals from Dravania. The delicate scrollwork is meant to evoke holly (the garnets are the berries), which is rich in pre-Church esoteric Halonic symbolism that is still held sacred/magical by rural Coerthans, who place wreaths of it on their doors for protection. Ancient Halonic priestesses carried it and used it in healing rituals, and as such it came to have strong associations with magic and wisdom. Fitting for the Sorceress of Light.

If you don’t mind can you do a hc on half demon sibling meets Koga again or half demon sibling meets Naraku

Subtitle: Half-Demon Reader Meets Koga and Inuyasha...Again.

Summary: During their travels, [Name] happens upon Koga and Inuyasha's Group arguing about some strange food known as chips and unfortunately, they can't get away with having a conversation. How will it go?

[Name] stood by the river as [Horse Name] drank from the fresh source of water, looking at their reflection as they moved their dog ears to get the sounds of the area; it was quiet at the moment but that could change any moment and they needed to be alert to make sure they were taken in an ambush, after all, they did have 10 Sacred Jewel Shards in their pouch right now and any demon or human would love to get their hands or claws on them.

Once [Horse Name] was done with their fill of water, [Name] mounted them and moved the reins before giving them a swift but gentle kick to the side to get them to move. They rode for about a good 15 minutes when a cluster of familiar scents invaded their nose and one of them stood out more than the others: Inuyasha.

[Name] groaned - knowing that if they smelled Inuyasha, he would be able to smell them as well, and the priestess he traveled with would be able to sense the Sacred Jewel Shards they were carrying - either way, [Name] was going to have to go that way if they wanted to return to their village; taking another inhale and exhale, [Name] continued along the path. Around 5 minutes later, [Name] came to an exciting sight: Inuyasha was trying to attack a wolf demon while the rest of his friends watched on. When the humming of the Sacred Shards began ringing in [Name's] ears, they looked down to see the pouch was glowing again and the legs of the wolf demon began glowing as well; he had jewel shards in his legs and there was only one wolf demon that [Name] knew who was in possession of Jewel Shards.

The wolf demon stopped moving and turned to face [Name] along with Inuyasha following his gaze and his golden eyes widened at the sight of [Name] upon the horse.

"[Name]!" Inuyasha called out as he ran over to his sibling but was stopped when [Name] drew their General Demon Sword and pointed it at Inuyasha, telling them to stay back without even opening their mouth.

"You! You're that mutt that blew me away with that wind of yours!" The Wolf Demon - Koga, [Name] believed that was his name - howled out as he looked at the glowing pouch in [Name's] Kimono, "You have more... way more than when we last met. Give me the jewel shards!"

"Do you want me to blow you away again, Wolf Demon? I explained that these shards are my spoils of war and I shall not give them to anyone that I don't want to have them. Leave me alone and let me pass, I need to return to my home." [Name] warned Koga and demanded them all to move.

"Why do you even need the jewel shards?! It's not like you use them! Give them to someone who actually needs them for something." Koga demands but [Name' just glares at him without saying anything.

"[Name]..." Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak but [Name] shook their head as their golden eyes looked into their brother's.

"I shall not follow you or our elder brother, Inuyasha. I've explained that the last time we met and I can tell by your aura - you still don't know if you want to give your heart to your present or your past." [Name] exhaled as they sheathed their sword, "You need to give up on me, Inuyasha, I don't want anything to do with you or Sesshomaru."

[Name] tsked at [Horse Name] and the creature began moving but he stopped when Koga got in his path, glaring at the mounted warrior with hatred in his blue eyes. [Name] lifted their hand at Koga and conjured the wind but didn't unleash it - they were warning him to move and Koga got the idea and moved away from [Name] and the horse. Once again, [Name] tsked at [Horse Name] and the two of them continued down the path, but Inuyasha started following them in silence and the group soon followed suit behind Inuyasha.

"Why are you all following me?" [Name] asked.

"We were going to your village, to begin with - there is something we need to talk to you about." Kagome said

"Very well, but don't expect me to follow your little group. I work alone and that's the way it's going to stay." [Name] said before riding in silence.

idea

the Holy Grail of Mars

a small golden device, encrusted with jewels and sacred, untranslated runes of circles of lines, in the shape of a human skull with the stalk of a chalice

the crown of the skull had been removed, instead replaced with a bolted lid of iron, bearing the insignia of the Cult Mechanicum atop an Imperial Aquila, and a small window of glass, stained martian red, is inlaid in the skull's left eye socket

a typical person looking into the window of the skull sees only pitch black, occasionally intermixed with emerald green pixels and golden solar bursts

a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus will not report what is inside, instead, babbling religiously about "a slice of divinity, a shard of the Dragon of Mars"

while the true Dragon of Mars still remains in the God-Emperor's prison, it is believed that this may be an imitation of His power, or a small section

removing the iron skullcap reveals a blinding light of green, turning any who gaze into it to a bizarre metal, similar to that found on the hands of the long-dead Gorgon

#yeah it's a c'tan shard that the mechanicus found and venerated #trazyn's been after it for a while #warhammer 40k #admech #void dragon

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!

Young Severus Snape x Ravenclaw! Priestess! Half-blood! Reader (Feat. Sesshomaru, Naraku, and Voldemort a.k.a Tom Marvolo Riddle)

The Priestess’ admires 🌜🕷️🐍

Introduction: The 70s Modern era Priestess doesn't know what she gotten herself into as three men were interested on her. How is this going to end?

Warnings: Death, Stalking, and Swords.

This is a continuation to this: Link

When they had come the village held a small party for the return of their friends and the ladies were wearing a very elegant kimonos.

Severus saw Miroku flirting with other women to where Sango wants to hit him with Hiraikotsu. The Slytherin teen sighs at his friends behavior. Miroku will be a lecherous monk.

The perverted monk had been flirting with other woman to the point his other friend get jealous.

Miroku introduce some women to Severus making Y/n and Sango smack his head so hard. The Demon Slayer will literally slap Miroku's face so hard that the other women will scattered away.

The Ravenclaw girl then glares at Miroku. “Lecherous Monk.” she mutters under her breath before grabbing her boyfriend's hand.

Y/n took Severus to a more quite and peaceful place so that she can spend some alone time with him.. And as they both cuddling a cold wind suddenly make their skin crawl and when the other Priestess turn to other side it was Naraku. The Slytherin teen then glares at the mask Half-Demon.

The Ravenclaw girl glares at him as Severus holds her close. “What do you want, Naraku?” She snarls.

Naraku smiles at her “Y/n the brave Priestess from other world...” Naraku never move from his spot and the Slytherin teen Took out his wand and pointed it out to Naraku “Human? *Scoff* Do you think that your funny looking weapon will harm me?” He said making Severus clench his hand in anger.

Y/n places her hand on her boyfriend's shoulder before glaring at the Spider Half-Demon in front of them. “What do you want exactly?” she asks in a monotone.

It wouldn't be obvious on what the Spider Half-Demon wanted. “Knowing you. You're looking for more sacred jewel shards but we have none.” she says keeping her eyes narrow at him.

Naraku grins at her making Y/n to feel disgusted. First, was Evans, then Sesshomaru, and now Naraku? Who would've thought her day would get any worse.

But she oddly feels fine with the Great Dog Demon except when he threatened to kill Inuyasha.

The Spider Half-Demon then tooks off his mask as he then smiles at the Ravenclaw girl. He had to admit she was so beautiful no wonder why Sesshomaru is attracted to her.

Severus then notice he was staring at his girlfriend. He then later stood in front of Y/n. “Quit staring at her Naraku.” he says glaring at the Half-Demon in front them.

The Spider Half-Demon remember looking at her through Kanna’s mirror. Beautiful and brave which is fits her very well. However, he notices how Sesshomaru looks at her every now and then.

He then starts approaching the two. The Slytherin teen was about to point his wand at him before Y/n stop him. As Severus move a side. Naraku then finally approaches her before he holds his hand out. The Ravenclaw girl was sure he would attack her but he didn't instead he just caresses her cheek gently with his hand.

“You are indeed such beautiful and fine woman.” He says still caressing her cheek. She looks away from him as he continues to do this.

Y/n widens her eyes. Okay, first off Sesshomaru is acting oddly towards her and now Naraku. This day wouldn't get anymore weirder.

The Ravenclaw girl was then snap out off her thoughts when the Spider Half-Demon chuckle. “We’ll meet again....” He says before disappearing. Y/n blinks a few times. “What just happened?” she asks to herself.

Severus then made his way towards his girlfriend. Naraku real pissed him off when he caressed her cheek.

The Slytherin teen caress his girlfriend’s cheeks and started to check on her “Are you okay, my love?.. Did he do something?” He ask worriedly and Y/n shake her head in respond still not believing what has just happened.. Did Naraku was attracted to her like Sesshomaru did? Why is this happening?! She ask to herself.

Speaking of Sesshomaru, the Demon Lord was following his scent along with Jaken and Rin.

However, another familiar scent fills his nose. Scent of berries, books, the sweets ate in a different era. He recognize this scent this the other Priestess’ scent who accompanies his brother.

“Jaken, stay here and watch over Rin.” The Dog Demon says to his Vassal. Sesshomaru went ahead there he saw was the Ravenclaw girl who he wouldn't stop thinking about and of course her lover who was often around her.

“Y/n....” He calls out her name. The two widen their eyes when they heard a familiar deep voice. The two look up to see the Demon Lord. “Sesshomaru?” The 70s Modern Era Priestess calls out in disbelief.

Strange, he address her by her name. Severus then glares at the Demon Lord. First Naraku and now Sesshomaru again.

The Great Dog Demon approaches the Ravenclaw girl “I smell the scene of Naraku in here.. Are you okay?” He ask making the Priestess look at him in confusion “Why do you care?” the Slytherin teen ask with the hint of jealousy into his Voice “For you information, mortal.. The only reason that I came here is because I smell the scent of Y/n and at the same time Naraku's smell was lingering all over the place so I rushed here immediately just to make sure that she's alright” Sesshomaru responded making Y/n gasp in disbelief... The Demon Lord turn on his back “You needed to br careful at most of the time, Y/n.. That mortal you're with can never protect you like I did.” He said before disappearing throughout the deep forest.

The Ravenclaw Priestess couldn't believe that Inuyasha’s brother was worried for her. But how dare he insult her boyfriend in front her.

Y/n drag Severus to the village the tell their friends what had just happened and how Naraku was sort of interested in her. Kagome and Sango were the first to approach her.

The two women then comfort their friend as she also told them that Sesshomaru also came out of nowhere. Speaking of the Demon Lord he then shows up to the village with Jaken and Rin following behind him.

Inuyasha growls when he saw his brother. “Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?!!” He demands.

However, as usual the Great Dog Demon was ignoring his brother's ranting.

His attention was focus on the Ravenclaw girl but the Slytherin doesn't like how he looks at his girlfriend.

“Naraku was after Y/n.. And you know how dangerous and risky it is so I wanted to take her with me just to make sure she's safe” Sesshomaru says making the whole group surrounded Y/n with their weapons “You can't take her away from me!” Severus says while holding Y/n’s Hand “You can do nothing, you filthy mortal!!!” He spat.

The Ravenclaw Priestess has enough for one day. The argument is getting out of hand. “Stop!!!” she says as they all stop arguing. “Guys, I had enough dealing a lot of craziness for one day. So please can I have a break?” she says. The 70s modern era Priestess then walks away from them as she was on her way to the well.

The Slytherin teen then runs after his girlfriend. Kagome then figure out something. Y/n seems to be stuck in some kind of love quartet even though she's already taken.

The Half-Demon growls a his brother “Stop your craziness and stay away from her” He said.

But the Demon Lord doesn't care at all and he will get Y/n no matter what may happens.

With Y/n and Severus....

They jump in the well. Returning to Hogwarts however Severus decided to allow the Ravenclaw girl to stay with him in his dormitory.

The Slytherin teen then took her to the Dungeons as they enter the Slytherin common room after that they made their way towards his dorm. Where they spent the rest of the night.

The next morning....

They were both in the Great Hall. Lily was watching both of them as she was paying little attention to what her boyfriend's saying. Severus was comforting Y/n because of what happened with Sesshomaru and Naraku.

The Slytherin teen felt familiar eyes on him and his girlfriend but he just ignore it.

After eating breakfast while on their way towards their classes. The two saw Inuyasha, Kagome, and surprisingly Sesshomaru in the Hallway.

The Ravenclaw Priestess then sighs in annoyance. Severus sighs. “Inuyasha, Kagome. Not now she's still not alright because of what happened yesterday.” he tells his friends.

The reincarnation of Kikyo sighs. “Sorry, Sev, but Inuyasha wants you guys to come back. But I kept telling him that you guys can come back once Y/n’s mood get better.” she says.

Before Inuyasha could say anything he was interrupted when his brother punch by his canine's. He drop to the floor holding his mouth. “You bastard..... That hurts....” The Half-Demon says while wincing in pain. Sesshomaru just ignores his brother.

Severus sigh “I wish we could but as you see Y/n was still not in the mood to go back.. She needs some time to process everything” He said before turning his attention on Sesshomaru “And you.. I wanted you to stay from my beloved or else-” The Slytherin teen's words were Interrupted by the Great Dog Demon “Or what?? You think you can stand against me? *Scoff* don't make me laugh, you lowlife mortal.” He said making the Ravenclaw girl snap at him and use her wand “Stupefy!” Y/n send Sesshomaru flying making the group look at her in shock “I already told you not to disrespect my man!!” She said when a familiar voice calls their Attention “Miss L/n! What's happening in here!” Professor McGonagall calls out.

Kagome sighs “I told you two that we can't go here. Y/n’s not in the mood to go back to the Feudal Era. To the point we cause her trouble.” she says scolding Inuyasha.

Y/n’s face pale when McGonagall approaches them. ‘Dang it. I'll get detention for this but Sesshomaru should know better not to insult Severus in front of me.’ she thought.

Severus then sighs before he made his towards the unconscious Demon Lord when he was hit with the Stunning Curse.

Professor McGonagall puts Y/n in detention with Professor Slughorn which she didn't mind at all “Now all of you take that person to the Hospital wing so he can treated” She said before taking her leave.

And his girlfriend has detention with Slughorn after classes.

The Slytherin teen held Y/n's hand and kiss her forehead “Everything will be fine My Love *smile*” His smiles warms the Priestess's heart “I know.. as long as you're with me and our friends, i know that everything will be fine” she replies.

Severus then glares at Sesshomaru. They wouldn't be in this situation if he hadn't followed his friends.

As the night has come Y/n spent her time on detention with Slughorn and making some sort of Healing Potion.

She never really regret hexing the Demon Lord but he deserves it for insulting her boyfriend. She wouldn't admit that to anyone.

After her detention the other Priestess make her way to her boyfriend's dormitory and before she can get there a voice suddenly calls her. “Y/n... The daughter of Y/m/n come with me my child” Y/n's Eyes got widen it was Voldemort.

“You’re... The Dark Lord....” The Ravenclaw Priestess says before narrowing her eyes at the man in front her.

“Come with me.. don't waste your talent in this place” He says.. The Priestess can't believe what has just happening.. First Sesshomaru, second Naraku and now even the Dark lord himself wants her?!!! She step back only for the Dark Lord to step forward “Y/n my dear.. Come with me and join my alliance” He said.

“Come with my child.....” He says to her again. However, the Priestess just shook her head. She knew her boyfriend originally intends to join the Death Eaters however that change when they both ended up in the Feudal Era.

“No, I'm not coming along with you.” The Ravenclaw girl says as she had no intention in joining him.

Before Y/n could say anything she hears a familiar voice. “Y/n, there you are!” She turns around to see Inuyasha.

He then approaches his friend. The Half-Demon then diverted his attention towards Voldemort before he snarl taking out Tessaiga from it's scabbard. “Who are you and what do you with my friend?” he demands.

Voldemort smiles at him and said “A Dog Demon.. What a pleasant surprise” He said before Entering on Inuyasha's Mind and see his past with Kikyo “Ohh I see that you're holding a deep passion with a certain Mortal named Kikyo” The Half-Demon’s eyes got widen. “Don't speak her name!” He says before attacking the Dark Lord “Avada Kedavra” Voldemort said and just in time Y/n pushes Inuyasha out of the way only for her to hit by the Killing curse.

In the commotion Sesshomaru heard what's happening.

Severus runs to his beloved and knelt besides her “Y-Y/n? Love?” He ask but no response.

Seeing Y/n’s lifeless eyes made the Demon Lord’s eyes turn red. However, the Tensaiga on his waist pulse. Sesshomaru push Severus out of the way and use his Tensaiga on Y/n. He then took out the sword as it then glow. The Demon Lord could see the minions of the underworld were about to take her soul. He then immediately slay them.

As a bright light surrounded the Ravenclaw girl.

As Severus was crying Y/n's eyes suddenly opens only for her to see the Demon Lord's worried gaze.

The 70s Modern era Priestess just looks at him in confusion before turning to look at her boyfriend before she gently place a hand on his shoulder.

That startles the Slytherin teen when he Y/n or what he thought to be her. Is he dreaming? The Ravenclaw girl then gives him a hug. Severus sighs in relief she came back. Sesshomaru must've used the Tensaiga to revive her. The Great Dog Demon then frowns that she doesn't pay him any attention.

Y/N Stood slowly up and approach to Sesshomaru “I know it was you.. Thank you” She said before give the Demon Lord a Hug.

Sesshomaru was stunned he did receive hug from Rin but coming from the other Priestess it was very surprising.

The Demon Lord was so stunned and slowly hug her back.. Severus on the hand was happy but kinda jealous at the same time because feels useless for not being able to save his beloved like Sesshomaru did.

The Half-Demon then growl when he saw his brother hugging his friend. “Hey, keep your hands off her!” he snarls out.

Voldemort on the other hand grips his wand he unintentionally killed Y/m/n’s daughter. However, he was impressed of the other Demon managing to revive her with a stroke of his sword.

He then chuckles getting the group’s attention before the Demon Lord tighten his grip on the Priestess.

The Ravenclaw girl then narrows at the man in front of them. “What do you want from me?” she demands.

“My, how surprising to see someone who can bring the dead back.” He says.

Kagome then glares at him. “Yeah, what do you want with Y/n?” she asks.

The rest of the group glare at the Dark Lord in front of them.

“Hmmm as you see Y/n was a daughter of a great witch named Y/n/n L/n and I wanted her to join my alliance and become a death eater” He said casually.

“No! I would never ever join your silly troupe!” Y/n shouted making the Dark Lord smile at her. “Someday you will.. and there's nothing you can do about it” He said before disappearing.

The Ravenclaw girl then narrows her eyes when he mentioned her mother. Her mother was a great witch but she was also a Priestess.

Kagome then approaches her friend. “Y/n, are you okay?” she asks as the other Priestess sigh. “Yeah, I'm fine.” she says before diverting her attention towards the Demon Lord who still has his arm around her. “You can let me go now, Sesshomaru.” she says to him.

The Great Dog Demon frowns but nonetheless let's her go.

After that Severus's arms suddenly wraps around his girlfriend in a protective way “You need some rest now” He said making Y/n smile at his kindness “Alright. Can I sleep in your room?” She ask and her boyfriend agreed “We have to go now.. Y/n needs her rest.” The two say their farewells to their friends and leave.

They then return to the Dungeons all the way to the Slytherin common all the way to his dorm. They spent the rest of the night cuddling.

The next morning.....

After they took a bath and brush their teeth. The couple then made their towards the Great Hall. Only to find their friends and Sesshomaru in the Ravenclaw table. “Why are you guys still here?” The Ravenclaw Priestess asks the three quietly. Kagome scratches the back of her neck. “Well, your headmaster sort of found out what happened last night so offered us to stay in the Ravenclaw dormitories.” she explains.

The two looks at them confused. “He let you stay in Ravenclaw Tower?” Severus asks in disbelief.

Inuyasha nods. “Yeah, and also there's something he wants to talk to us after breakfast.” he says while munching on his pancake.

Sesshomaru was just listening while eating his pancake.

The Priestess looks confused is it about the Dark Lord wanting to recruit because her mother was a great witch and of course was also a Priestess.

She knew she has an ancestor who was Japanese. So it would make her a Japanese descend.

After breakfast Y/n and Severus Went straight to their classes while their friends went to the Headmaster's Chamber.

When Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sesshomaru made it to the Headmaster office they were then met with McGonagall. The one who caught the Ravenclaw girl after she hexed the Great Dog Demon for insulting her boyfriend.

“What a pleasant surprise to see all of you again..” She smiles warmly. “Have a seat.” Dumbledore offer and after the three of them went to their seat Dumbledore started to ask them a couple of questions.

“So Tom wants to recruit her?” Dumbledore asks. The three looks confused. “Tom?” Inuyasha asks. “That was the Dark Lord's true name but he hates it.” The Headmaster explains.

Kagome then nods her head in confirmation. “Yeah, he try to recruit her when she was alone after she left her detention.” She starts. “He also found out about Kikyo to the point I attack him but I made mistake he nearly killed me but Y/n jump in the way and got hit by the spell when it was supposed to hit me.” Inuyasha finish.

That made Sesshomaru angry on what he just heard from his brother. “That wouldn't happen if you didn't foolishly attack him, Half-breed!” he spat to his brother.

The Half-Demon then glares at his brother. “Take that back, Sesshomaru.” he says as they both glare at each other.

The reincarnated Priestess sighs. There they go again.

“Well it's a great thing that she's okay now.. And that's thanks to you young man..” The Headmaster points out on Sesshomaru “No need for that.. She's important to me too after all” He says “Do you really think that she actually cares for you that way?” Inuyasha provokes his brother “Not for now..but someday she will” The Demon Lord respond.

Kagome then remembers something. “About what he said about Y/n’s mother being a Great witch. Is she also Priestess like me and Y/n?” she asks. That seem to caught the two Dog Demons’ attention.

The Headmaster then clears his throat. “Well, as a matter of fact yes, Ms. Higurashi. You see she and her mother has an ancestor who was a Japanese. Making Ms. L/n a Japanese descend.” he reveals as that surprised the three.

“And what is it something to do with Tom going after her?” Inuyasha asks not getting where does this lead to.

Dumbledore then clears his throat once again. “You see when the Dark Lord is known as Originally by the name of Tom Riddle. During his time here at Hogwarts he uses his charm to manipulate those around to get what he wants. Particularly he was in love with her mother that is until she met and fell in love with her father. Her mother was in Ravenclaw like she was.” he reveals.

The three were in shock. That the Dark Lord was originally in love with Y/n’s mother. Sesshomaru was more surprise than Inuyasha and Kagome.

“He’s really a creep for trying to go after Y/n.” The reincarnation of Kikyo points out.

Dumbledore smile lightly “That's what a love can do anyway..”He said “Do you think the Dark Lord only wants Y/n because she was looked like her mother?” Kagome ask “Well maybe that's the case for him to want her.” The Headmaster says.

“How unpredictable!!” The reincarnated Priestess exclaimed “that's why I called the three of you in here” Dumbledore admitted “I wanted the three if you to take Y/n with you so that she can be safe from the Dark lord” He says. “Maybe she has a relative from the Feudal Era and then maybe 100 years or so Y/n has another relative who came to this country. Which explain why she looks a bit like a Japanese.” Inuyasha points out.

“A relative who's a native Japanese?” The reincarnation of Kikyo asks before the Half-Demon then nods. “Yeah, which would explain she was a Japanese descend.” he points out.

“Actually she has a relative she can live with” Dumbledore says.“She has?” Inuyasha asks.

“They Lived on Akita Japan” Dumbledore Added “That's It!” the Half-Demon says happily “We can take her there.” The reincarnated Priestess added.

“But are they aware of their relation?” Kagome asks.

Sesshomaru on the other hand Interrupts the conversation “Do you think that she'll let you to take her away?” He asks. “No, will never let any of you take her especially from that mortal she was with” He added “Then what can you suggest??” The Headmaster then asks.

Just before he could speak his brother interrupts him. “Oh no way, Sesshomaru. She can't go back to Feudal Japan she's not safe there either. Because Naraku was also after her.” he snarls.

The Demon Lord then glares at him. “Stay out of this, Half-Breed!” he says coldly.

Inuyasha was about to attack his brother when Kagome ordered him to sit “What are we supposed to do?” She ask the Headmaster “If she doesn't want to leave then we had need an alternative Solution” Dumbledore says.

The Half-Demon then stood from his spot. “You do have a point she wouldn't want to leave but it's not for in the Feudal Era either. And Naraku is after her not to mention Sesshomaru here.” he says as he looks at Sesshomaru on the last part.

The Great Dog Demon glares at his brother for him also being after Y/n but that's only because he was concern for her safety like Severus was.

“Maybe we can take her with us” The Demon Lord says “No! You know that Naraku was after her too!” Kagome said “I'm not leaving her side.. I'll be protecting her” Sesshomaru says making Dumbledore and McGonagall smile at him “Then it's settled then.. Y/n’s safety was into your hands” Dumbledore says along with a satisfactory huff “I had one request” Sesshomaru says “Yes?” The Headmaster responds. “I don't want that filthy mortal to come with us” The Half-Demon and the reincarnation of Kikyo were shock about the Demon Lord's statement.

Kagome then remembers how Y/n hexed Sesshomaru yesterday. “Do you want her to hex you again?” she ask in disbelief.

“*scoff* I was just caught off guard at that time.. And it will never happen again” He adds but Inuyasha was angry at him “You can never separate Severus from y/n!” He shouts at his brother “Well i can.. I had my ways so that she can forget that merely mortal” Sesshomaru responds.

Before the two could reply there was a knock on the door.

McGonagall open the door to reveal the Ravenclaw girl and Slytherin teen.

She then looks Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sesshomaru. “Ummm.... What's going on here?” she asks as she and Severus enter before the Head of Gryffindor close the door.

Kagome then scratches the back of her neck nervously. “Nothing, Y/n.” she says. The other Priestess raises an eyebrow towards her.

Y/n approach them and sit st the nearest chair along with her boyfriend Severus “Kagome.. You know that you can't lie to me.. So tell what is it” she says while holding Severus's cold Hand on hers.

“We-Well, ummm.....Y/n.....ummmm” Kagome was stuttering and can't form a right words to explain to their friend.

Inuyasha sighs. “We managed to figure out why the Dark Lord is after you. You see back when he was Tom Riddle. He was originally in love with your mother before she met and fell in love with your dad.” He explains as the Ravenclaw girl and the Slytherin teen looks at their friend in shock.

“He’s originally..... In love... With my mother?” Y/n questions not believing what she's hearing.

"Yes" Inuyasha says. Severus then holds her hand trying to calm her down.

"And obviously that person sees you as your mother and that's the reason why he wants you so bad like Naraku did” The Half-Demon adds.

“Also about your Priestess powers. You have a relative who was a Japanese who came to live here on Britain centuries after Feudal Era which would explain why you look a bit like a Japanese.” Kagome then adds.

“My guesses were if I have a relative who's completely Japanese and I was right.” Y/n says.

"Yes" her friend says. The Slytherin was comforting the Ravenclaw girl. “You’re not safe here.” Kagome points out.

The Half-Demon nods in agreement. “Yeah, with this Tom Riddle and of course Naraku after you.” he says. The Ravenclaw Priestess then sighs. “Why did this happen for the past two days?” she questions to herself.

“My love, don't worry I'm here” Severus says giving his girlfriend a comforting smile “As if you can protect her” Sesshomaru says and The Slytherin turn his attention on him “Yes I can” He says “Oh Really? Not obvious actually” The Demon Lord coldy says “At least she believes and loved me” Severus sarcastically says making Sesshomaru glare at him fiercely.

The other Priestess then took out her wand pointing it at the Demon Lord “Flipendo!” she says as that hits the Great Dog Demon as he was thrown against the wall.

The Ravenclaw girl just glares at the Sesshomaru. “I told you not to insult my boyfriend in front of me.” she says as she had enough of him doing that.

McGonagall then realizes the reason why she hex the Dog Demon was him looking down on Mr. Snape.

The Great Dog Demon groan in pain as he stood up “Ms. L/n, I never expected you to be so feisty when it comes to Mr. Snape” McGonagall said making Y/n and Severus blush in embarrassment.

Inuyasha tries not to laugh at his brother after he was hexed by his friend. Kagome on the other hand sweatdrop.

The Great Dog Demon then glares at his brother. “It’s not funny, Inuyasha.” he says coldly. Half-Demon tries his best not to laugh so hard.

“Really??” Inuyasha provokes along with a breathy Laugh “Sit Boy” Inuyasha fell on the ground “Why did you do that?!” He ask Kagome.

The Priestess just narrows her eyes at him. “Rather not have him kill you if you continue to provoke him.” she says.

The Ravenclaw girl then turns to look at Sesshomaru but she just narrows her eyes at him when he looks at her.

She never completely likes Sesshomaru because he hates humans and Half-Demons in general but that change after he met Rin who travels around with him and Jaken. Of course, another human he enjoys being around was technically her but he hates her boyfriend. If he keeps insulting him she'll keep hexing him for that.

The Demon Lord on the other hand couldn't believe it. This is the second time she hex him for insulting her boyfriend in front her. The girl often narrows her eyes at him when she caught him staring at her. However, he wouldn't forget how she felt in his embrace. She smell of berries, books, and of course sweets of this era.

But knowing her she hated him for insulting her boyfriend and of course his attempts to kill Inuyasha to get the Tessaiga.

The Ravenclaw then remembers something. “Wait a moment I remember something.” She then says as she stood up from the chair. The Slytherin teen then looks at his girlfriend. “What is it, love?” he asks.

Y/n then made her way towards the door Severus, along with Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru follow her.

Before leaving the Headmaster's office she bows to both of her Professors before she then opens the door with her friends and boyfriend following behind her. Sesshomaru close the door behind them.

GET TO KNOW YOUR ADMIN !!

name — Calamity or Phantasma.

pronouns — She/her.

preferred comms — Discord or Tumblr IMs. Either is fine. I'm a shy bean, so I'm not good at messaging people in ooc really, but it's not that I don't like you or anything! Just me being awkward as hell.

name of muse — I have a few, but I'd say the main ones I use are Gundham, Junko, Bakugo, Mikey, and Fubuki. I use Benedikta a lot on a different account.

experience in RP — Since 2003, so it's been 20 freaking years now of on and off RP life. Feeling old now. I started on xanga as Bankotsu from Inuyasha. It was a lawless RP land back then. Everyone god modded and one lined, but it was a grand time. My Bankotsu got so many of those sacred jewel shards.

best experiences — I have many. The first days of RP were certainly some of them. I actually met quite a few people from RP in RL. I would say the best of the best was when I met a group of Danganranpa RPers on anirp, and we did different story-lines all together. The one guy made up stories and events for the characters. I was Gundham. We also did the despair storyline which I think was my favorite, because I was able to do despair Gundham and made such a great backstory and I got so many compliments from the group on how I portrayed him(I guess he was pretty similar to the joker according to some.) I got my own event where i tried to kill all the other remnants with my animal army. We also did a really fun persona storyline. I got to be the fem p3 protag and had a love triangle with Shinji and Akihiko. ;) There was some drama with the group, and the leader talked a lot of crap cause I was busy and missed a lot of events though, so I ended up leaving.

pet peeves / dealbreakers — My number one is the one thing I will block you for: If you ask for a starter and then never reply. I have very little time to write and I can't stand people wasting my time. Another is drama of course. I come to RP as an escape, not for more stress. It also annoys me if someone posts a starter call and I like it, but get ignored. Why did you follow me back if you don't want to RP?

muse preference ( fluff, angst, smut ) — Fluff and angst are by far my two favorite genres. I love the corny, romantic slow burn more than anything. Romance is dead irl and I need some kind of fantasy outlet since I'm a hopeless romantic. I also just love angst cause it causes conflict and helps the characters develop, and I just live for the drama. Besides, after the hurt, comes the comfort. My other favorite genre is dark. I love writing dark things. Junko is a good outlet for that, and I'd love to write despair Gundham sometimes. Also Dark Mikey. Smut, I'm pretty good at writing it, but I need a solid storyline and a slow burn romance that leads up to it. Except maybe for Junko.

plot or memes — I honestly usually just wing stuff haha. I've posted memes but people generally don't send them to start new storylines with me. Since I'm shy, I don't typically approach people to try and plot either v.v But both are great when they happen.

long or short replies — I prefer stuff typically on the longer side(If you can't tell by my blog). I would say my typical replies are 3 paragraphs or so, but I can go longer. I really like to flesh out my muses and their thoughts. I don't expect people to keep up though.

best time to write — Weekends by far. Lately I haven't had time to do anything on my weekdays. Work has been crazy busy so I haven't been able to use the work computer for replies. I work two jobs and commute over 2 hours everyday, (and go to the gym 3 days a week), so I just don't have much time for anything during the week.

are you like your muse — I typically do characters that are vastly different from myself, because I feel like that's the most fun for me. Some similarities though:

I love animals(I'm a vet assistant), and I typically dress goth/alt like Gundham

I tend to be impulsive like Mikey

I'm quite air headed, ditzy, and naive like Fubuki(Not to that extreme at least, but a little bit.)

I tend to be logical, cold, and distant like Makoto. I'm also terrible at asking for help, feeling I have to be the rock and do everything myself. I have to always be strong for everyone else, and never show any weakness.

I have a really rough past full of abuse like Benedikta, and am always fighting an internal darkness.

Tagged by: @more-than-a-princess(Thank you!) Tagging: @nuravity and you reading this right now.

#☾✩☽ out of calamity #memes #munday meme #//I literally saved this to post on Monday and then forgot lmao #So here it is now

In My Head

"Kagura, let Kagome go! I'm your opponent right now!"

It had just seemed like a regular run-of-the-mill jewel hunt. Local demon, relatively harmless, suddenly goes haywire? Sounded like a sacred jewel shard causing problems, same as usual. And it has been a pretty standard fight, until Kagura showed up. Kagome had chased her down with sacred arrows while Inuyasha helped beat down the demon - a burrower, easily handled with reference to their fight with Kageromaru a while back - and followed once it was weak enough for Sango and Miroku to handle.

So yeah, standard fare. Until Kagura had grabbed Kagome and hauled her up onto her feather.

"Better hurry along, Inuyasha!" Kagura crowed, turning Kagome's face in her hand from her perch above the trees. "Naraku has such plans for your pretty little priestess."

"You give her back now!" He demanded, disliking how desperate he sounded.

"Inuyasha!"

Trying to avoid Kagura's notice, Kagome tossed something off the feather, and Inuyasha snatched it from the air as he leapt after them. The cool glass and faint rattle of its contents told him what he needed to know without taking his eyes off of the rapidly shrinking transport.

Inuyasha did his best to take chase, but as the feather rose into the sky, and the wind whipped their scent trail into nothing, Inuyasha slowed, trying to keep sight of the speck he thought was them until they vanished into the clouds.

He kept running in the direction they had disappeared in, a shout of frustration clawing its way from his throat.

"Inuyasha!"

Skidding to a halt, he turned to watch as Kilala landed on his left, with Sango, Shippo, and Miroku in tow.

"It was a trap. Kagura grabbed Kagome and flew off with her," he growled. "She used the cloud cover to hide before she could get too far, and I can't pick up their scent anymore."

"Great. Just perfect," Sango sighed fingers tightening in Kilala's fur. Miroku held up a tainted shards, frowning at it.

"We got the shard that Naraku planted on that demon, but lost Kagome in exchange. It was a distraction, but a costly one for him. He probably thinks he'll take it back easily when we go to rescue Kagome."

"But if Naraku wants the shard back," Shippo considered, "why did he make it so hard for Inuyasha to follow Kagura?"

Inuyasha looked down at the vial in his hand, gritting his teeth with another growl as his fingers clenched around the glass. With barely a thought, he lifted the little bottle to his mouth, pulling the cork out with his teeth and dumping their one remaining shard into his hand.

"Inuyasha! What do you think you're doing!?"

The half demon looked at Sango, the crystal point pinched between two claws.

"I've had what we'll call a scientific theory for a while, and now seems as good a time as any to test it," he stated, looking at the shard as he spoke. "Naraku can communicate with and control demons and humans through shards he's corrupted, right? Is it that wild to think that maybe Kagome could do the same for shards that she's purified?"

"Yes! That is wild! And crazy, and stupid!" Shippo decided, jumping to Miroku's shoulder to try and draw Inuyasha's attention more easily.

"And what do you suggest? Kagura's wind blew out any scent trail they might have left, and she got away fast enough that she was out of sight before you three even spotted me. She could've changed directions once they were out of sight, so we'd end up running even further away before we figure out where they've gone!"

"You shouldn't rely on the jewel's power like that. We've seen what it can do to other demons, you can't be so cavalier about this," Miroku insisted, clearly agreeing with Shippo.

"Would ya just listen? I ain't interested in the power right now! Kagome's spiritual power purified the jewel. Don't get me wrong, I know what it's still capable of. But if Kagome's spiritual power is in this shard, it could connect me to her so I can track her." Pulling the collar of his robe down, Inuyasha used a claw to cut slightly into the skin there. "Look, worst case scenario, it won't work and I'll take it right back out, I promise."

Sango paused, watching blood bead at the cut beneath Inuyasha's throat. He could see her considering as she met his eyes - it was definitely a risk, they both knew that. But if it worked, it might be a way that they could save Kohaku the next chance they got.

Another beat passed, and she placed a hand on Miroku's free shoulder.

"We'll try it, just for a minute or two. We don't know if Kagome is able to connect through the shards the way Naraku is, but if she can, it should only take a moment to establish a connection."

Inuyasha nodded, hesitating for only a moment before pressing the jewel shard into his open wound.

Immediately, he felt the low-level aches and scrapes from his altercation with Kagura and the other demon fade - skin knit back together, pains eased, and Inuyasha felt the skin beneath his throat close up around the jagged edges of the shard. Power coursed through him, and he could immediately understand why other demons got addicted to this. He could sense the darkness trying to take hold, but more than that, he felt the warmth and light that he'd come to associate with Kagome's reiki.

Clawed fingers still resting on the jewel at his collar, he reached out in his head, looking for the parts that felt the most like her.

Kagome? Come on, talk to me. Can you hear me?

There was a beat of silence, and he could feel the others looking at him.

"Alright, Inuyasha, I think it's time-"

Something reached back.

He shushed Miroku, trying to focus.

Kagome?

I-Inuyasha?

"I've got her," he announced

Kagome! Are you okay?

I'm fine, we're still flying. What are you doing in my head?

I used the jewel shard to connect with you. Listen, can you see any landmarks we can use to find you?

The jewel-? Inuyasha! That's not why I threw it to you and you know it!

Explanation later. I'll take it out after we find you, just tell me where you are!

An image flashed in his mind: the mountains to their right, already much closer but still distant, and with a dark, unnatural shadow on what should've been the sunny face. And if he really focused, he could feel a tug on his chest, pulling him towards the mountain.

You hang in there, Kagome. We'll be there soon.

Smirking softly to himself, Inuyasha looked up at the mountain peak Kagome had shown him.

"There! That mountain! They're getting close to Naraku's castle!"

Kilala transformed and they mounted up, taking to the skies.

Inuyasha scanned the clouds for any glimpse of Kagura's feather, but found himself distracted by the lightness in his head. Kagome's presence was somehow a one-to-one mix of mental fog and perfect clarity. He couldn't hear the thoughts she wasn't intentionally thinking at him, but he got some impressions - indignation and righteous fury (he wondered if what kagara had said to trigger that), but also a confidence that was almost smug. She was hundreds of feet in the air, with Kagura, on her way to Naraku's castle, and he could barely feel any fear from her. It was an afterthought, barely worthy of note.

He didn't know what being possessed by Naraku through a jewel shard felt like first hand, but according to Sango and Kagome, it was a dark, cloying sort of thing. Like your head was filled with miasma and rot and decay that made you willing to do anything for relief. Inuyasha yasha had quietly likened it to his faint memories of being a full demon when the Tessaiga broke for the first time. That constant stream of RIP/TEAR/ENDURE/SURVIVE/KILL that occasionally reared its head in his nightmares didn't sound too similar to their experiences, but it was the closest comparison he had.

Having Kagome in his head, meanwhile, felt like the polar opposite of that wild, cornered animal that he had become in demon form. Comfort instead of desperation, compassion instead of cruelty. It was hard to say if it was the spiritual power or just Kagome herself, but either way, it was probably the closest to enlightenment that Inuyasha would ever get.

This feels weird, right? Kagome asked, her voice light and sweet against his consciousness. Not bad, but definitely weird.

You're telling me, he agreed, wondering what sort of impressions she might've gotten from him, if any.

As if hearing the question out loud, her voice came again.

You need to relax. I can feel you stressing from here.

You're one to talk! Where the hell is your sense of self-preservation?! In case you missed it, you're being kidnapped and brought to Naraku!

You and the others aren't far behind, right? What's there to worry about?

That impression of confidence he felt before strengthened, pushing out that negligible sense of fear. He wasn't sure if she could feel the pride/wonder/satisfaction that he felt in response. He knew, after so much time together, that Kagome trusted him. That she believed he would and could come and clutch when she needed him. It was different, though, to feel it in his own head with the same surety as the phases of the moon or the cycle of seasons. Sun shines, grass grows, birds fly, and he and Kagome protect each other.

You're closing in on us; I can sense the jewel now, not just you. How do you want to do this?

"We're getting close," Inuyasha announced. "Stay low and stay quiet."

Is Kagura holding on to you?

No, I'm sitting behind her now. But she keeps glaring over her shoulder at me

They were getting quite close to the shadow in the mountainside, and Inuyasha could now make out the silhouette of the castle.

Inuyasha paused, refocusing on the clouds. As soon as the cloud cover passed for just a moment, his eyes were drawn right to Kagome's figure on the back end of the feather, a good ways above and a bit ahead of them.

"Sango," he hummed, voice soft but laced with a venomous determination. He nodded up at the shape floating overhead. "As soon as Kagome drops down, be ready to knock that witch out of the sky. I'll give Kagome some extra hang time, but try and catch us before we get too cozy with the ground, got it?"

Sango nodded, adjusting her weapon and letting Miroku and Shippo lean out of the way. Inuyasha brought his feet up, crouching on Kirara's hindquarters. Giving everyone a glance over, Inuyasha looked back up at the feather, catching Kagome looking at him.

As soon as she looks away from you again, fall back off the feather.

There was nearly a breath of hesitation before he felt the confirmation/understanding/trust in response, and he didn't even have time to enjoy the rush of warmth he felt in response before her voice in his head muttered here goes nothing.

He saw Kagura shift, and right on cue, Kagome quietly leaned back and slipped right off the tip of the feather.

Inuyasha leapt lightly from Kilala's back, angling himself to his descent aligned with Kagome's. He heard the indignant shriek Kagura gave as she was struck, and felt Kagome's disappointment that she hadn't seen it mirror his own.

When his arms came up around her, he was caught off guard again when she let off a wave of safety/security/affection/knewyou'dbehere while smiling up at him

"Hey you," she greeted, breathless and almost laughing.

"Hey yourself," he shot back, ignoring the fact that he was definitely red in the face and there was no way she'd missed it. He looked around for Kilala, who circled around to catch them once Sango had caught her hiraikotsu. Landing easily at the base of her tails, Inuyasha helped Kagome to sit before doing so himself.

"So, do we stay or do we go?" Sango asked, looking back at them while pulling the strap of her weapon over her shoulder. "I'm guessing we only have a few minutes before the saimyosho or another incarnation shows up. Do we go to them or let them come to us?

"Put me down for a tactical retreat. We spent all morning tracking that demon and didn't even have breakfast," Shippo whined, crawling down Miroku's back and into Kagome's lap. "This is probably just another fakey illusion castle with another fakey puppet Naraku. And if it's not, it'll still be there after we eat and rest."

"Regardless of whether it's real or not, we should take a step back and come up with a plan. Kagura wanted me at the castle, and said Naraku had plans for me. Even if it's just a puppet, no plan of his means anything good for us," Kagome pointed out. Looking back at Inuyasha, she offered a smile, pushing out reminders for food/rest/comfort toward him. Ears flattening, he sighed, crossing his arms.

"The edge of the forest. Away from any villages. If we're gonna get attacked, last thing we need is a bunch of humans caught in the crossfire."

Kagome's smile softened, and she leaned back against him. An hour or two to rest, and maybe play with this connection a little more before diving back into danger.

~~~~~~

Shippo, stop kicking the fourth wall, you're gonna break it.

If I wanted to get this posted tonight, I had to cut it off here. But Kagome being able to connect with people through purified jewel shards the way Naraku does tainted ones is something I've idly played with before, and I might touch on it again just for funsies.
