NOT DEAD (I'm back)
While browsing my Google Drive, I discovered my old FanFiction folder with a lot of unfinished work. In order to facilitate my healing process and find myself, I'm going to begin working on my old projects and hopefully finish them. (In case you are curious about my absence or want an explanation, it is below.)
I have on my list:
Inuyasha Fan Fictions:
The Princess Bride - WIP
Unlikely Partners - Started
Story based on Psych - Concept & Outline Done
Series based on Lucifer and Old Christian Religion - Started and 1st story mostly Completed
----Explanation----
My CEO once told me to either marry the company or quit, so I married it. My exit from Tumblr is primarily due to the fact that I was living the Gaslight Gatekeep Girl Boss life without the fun or money. Working 14-16 hours a day, I didn't have time for my writing, friends, family, or my life. In the end, I became nothing more than an empty shell carrying a BANG! while running on little or no sleep. I became my company. I was three BANGS! a day deep, having health issues, and lost a lot of weight. My life began to unravel, and then after a toxic fight with my boss a month ago, a story for another time, it was time to set boundaries and take back control.
As a result, I have begun therapy in order to reclaim my life from a toxic work environment. Having no boundaries at work, and a lack of work-life balance has led to my decline. As a 29-year-old female, I was diagnosed with ADHD. I have experienced Anxiety and Depression for as long as I can remember, but the ADHD diagnosis could explain this. ADHD in women tends to bring its friends, anxiety, and depression.
So for those of you who are female with depression and anxiety, please take a look at the new studies on ADHD in females, as they are very different than the ones in males, not that there isn’t overlap. While this isn’t the case with everyone it is certainly worth considering.
Ultimately, I hope to re-establish myself and become a new, more magnificent, and improved me. I’ve slowly become an actual person, I’ve been reading again, seeing friends, playing games, and even raised a child for a short period of time. Baby steps towards recovery.
Even though I'm merely a Tumblr user, I'm available to discuss anything mentioned above or anything else in general. I am here for anyone in pain that needs a friend, anyone going through a tough time, or someone that wants to talk about how Inuyasha/Cats/Goats/James Acaster/Neil Gaimen/Moths/Ducks/Otome is life. I am here for it all. You can always count on me to lend an ear, listen, or help if you need it.
XOXO
Crazy Princess Cat Lady

Inuyasha: The Princess Bride
A retelling of the classic The Princess Bride in the Inuyasha universe.
Part Four: The Preparations & The Announcement
<First Chapter> <Previous Chapter> <Next Chapter>
___________________
Chapter 13
The Announcement - Part 3
Kagome awoke to the clopping of horses’ hooves hitting the road. Her hands were bound behind her and she was rather uncomfortably sprawled on some straw. She had considered objecting to her treatment but thought better of it. Her captors were unaware that she was conscious and this could be to her advantage, she might learn something from their discussions.
“If we get caught with the Princess there will be hell to pay,” The Monk didn’t seem the least bit worried, rather he made getting caught seem like it was a mild inconvenience at worst.
“I didn’t ask for your opinion.” An unfamiliar voice answered him over the sound of ripping fabric.
“What are you doing?” The Slayer asked.
“This is fabric from a flag of the Takeda clan.” The unknown voice replied. “I’ve attached some to a horse along with some fabric from her dress. We will send the horse towards Musashi.”
“I agree with Miroku, we need to get rid of her now. If we’re-” The Slayer was cut off by the sound of an exasperated voice coming through gritted teeth.
“She must be found dead in Kai or we will not be paid the remainder of our fee.”
“I’m not ok with killing her. I think kidnapping her should be enough to start the war, she doesn’t know who hired us.” The Monk was protesting. Kagome made a note, he might be her best bet for gaining an ally.
Silence fell upon the group for a moment and after some shuffling and the Slayer called for everyone to watch their heads.
The Monk started again, “The people of Musashi will not take kindly to her death. In this one day, she has become beloved.”
“THAT’S THE POINT!” The owner of the voice finally cracked, he was yelling. “We have been paid to start a war. It’s a fine line of work to be experts in. And should we be successful, there will be continual demand for our services.”
“Well I don’t like it,” The Slayer began, “Frankly, I wish you had refused.”
“The offer was too high.”
“I don’t kill innocent people.” The Slayer’s voice had a slight bite to it.
“God does it all the time; if it doesn’t bother Him, don’t let it worry you. I’ll be the one to kill her anyway.”
Through all of this Kagome remained still, her heart calm.
“We shouldn’t let her know the plan. She is extremely powerful and I’m not sure we would get the drop on her again.” The Slayer seemed to lose her reluctance, her focus turning back to the task at hand.
The Monk agreed, “She’s so beautiful, she'd go crazy if she knew.” The statement was followed by a sound Kagome could only assume was a hard smack.
“She already knows.” The voice sounded certain. “She’s been awake for every word of our conversation.”
“You’re sure?” The Slayer couldn’t hide her skepticism.
“Of course, I sense all.”
Conceited, Kagome thought.
“Yes, I’m very conceited.” A little pink head of hair popped up through the straw, a large smile on his face.
Great, a mind reading demon, just what she needed.
“Are we going full speed?” The infant asked, his smile continuing to grow at her apparent discomfort.
“We’re going as fast as we can, so not to tire the horses and still make it to the destination by dawn.”
“We have an hour on the Prince, so no risks yet. It will take some time for that horse to make it to the Shiro, then another few minutes for them to figure out what happened. Since we left such an obvious trail they should be able to follow it. We should reach the mountains between Musashi and Kai in 15 minutes. By dawn, we’ll be in Kai, where she dies. Her body should still be warm when the Prince finds her lifeless. I only wish I could be around to see the grief on his face.” The look of pure pleasure on the baby's face was jarring, babies shouldn’t have been able to look that sinister.
“Why let me know your plans?” Kagome asked, trying her best to remain undisturbed.
“Why not? There is nothing you can do to stop them.” With that statement, the baby grabbed her chest. The disturbing feeling returned and she could only remember thinking of Inuyasha.
The baby laughed, “You know as well as I do HE won't come for you.”
Everything went dark.
....
Kagome wasn’t sure how long she was out for but when she awoke she was still in the straw, the constant clopping of the horses a reminder of her traveling closer to Kai. Without much thought, for fear the infant would know, Kagome waited for the exact moment that the clouds obstructed the moon and pushed off the cart.
She landed with a loud thud, letting an oomph escape her lips. She rolled into the brush on the side of the road and stayed absolutely still.
It wasn’t long before the stomping of the hooves stopped and she heard them arguing.
“Go after her!” The Infant yelled.
“I was against this from the start,” She could hear the Monk’s shrug.
“I told you we wouldn’t get the drop on her again.” The Slayer said. “I’m not risking it.”
Kagome slowly got to her knees, peering through the bushes, the cart wasn’t that far off.
She tried to get her bearings straight, but it was hard to concentrate when her wrists hurt from the rope and her heart was pounding so loudly.
“I hear your heart young Miko.”
Kagome forced her breathing to slow, forced her heart to return to a normal pace. She had years of training, she could do this.
The infant started shrieking frantically.
“Where is she? She couldn’t have just vanished!”
“I’m not sure what the stipulations for the job were, but the wolves will get her.” The Slayer offered halfheartedly.
Kagome’s heart jumped, she really wished they hadn’t mentioned the wolves. By the time she steadied her heart it was too late, she could see the smile on the baby's face even from this distance. He had heard it.
“Princess,” The Infant goaded, “do you know what happens when the wolves smell blood?”
She refused to take the bait.
“Oh, I’ll take your silence as a no. Don’t worry, I’ll educate you. First, they cripple their prey. Aiming their claws and powerful jaws for the legs. And when they’re sure their prey can’t get away they stop, they don’t finish the kill. No, that’s a job for the Pack Leader. And you know all too well how ruthless their leader is, don’t you Princess. You’ll be stuck there, powerless, crying for death. As you know, there is no stopping Koga.”
Kagome dared to look towards the cart. The baby was just floating there, scanning the area. He didn’t know if there were wolves nearby, he couldn’t. He was bluffing.
The baby raised his small hand, it was holding something.
“Princess, currently the wolves have no reason to head this way but we can change that. Should this knife slip the scent of blood will fill the air, alerting any wolf within two miles that there is a wounded human nearby. We are in a cart, outrunning wolves would be no issue for us. But you, Princess, aren’t as fortunate. So, return to the cart or I’ll cut my hand.”
Kagome remained still and silent. There was a slight wind and the leaves began to rustle seemingly carrying the howl of a wolf. She took a deep breath, surely it was her imagination.
“There will be no other warning.” The Infant sounded angry.
Kagome stayed put, he planned to kill her. Either way, she died, what was the difference? At least here she made the decision.
“The difference is-”
He really had to be a mind-reading demon, this situation couldn’t get any more annoying if it tried. She silently scolded herself, she needed to focus. Should she live through this she needed more practical combat training. What good was she without her arrows?
“-If you come back I give you my word as an assassin that you will die without pain. I assure you Koga’s wolves offer no such promise.”
The rustling got louder. Kagome began to lose control of her breathing. She wished for a moment that she could tell if he was serious or if there really were wolves out there. If only she could calm herself she would be able to sense them. But her imagination afforded her no relief and her pulse only quickened. It just had to be wolves. Her one recurring nightmare was becoming a reality.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the Infant gasping loudly.
“He really did cut his arm.” The genuine surprise coming from the Monk worried her.
The Infant winced.
“And his leg. Wow.” The Slayer seemed impressed, which, if the rumors she had heard about the Slayers were true, was quite a feat.
“We are going to leave. Call out your location or face the wolves. The choice is yours.”
Kagome decided not to make a sound. She would at least see her half-demon again.
“Faaarewell,” the Infant sang the word.
There was a pause.
Then rustling got closer, the howling louder.
The sound of paws meeting the earth throbbed in her ears-
All around her Kagome could hear them growling. Her heartbeat matched the pounding of their paws. She took one last deep breath and ran.
Darting into the road, Kagome made her way in the opposite direction of the cart. She knew it was unlikely that she would go unnoticed by the trio, but she also knew running in the woods would cause her to fall. Falling would lead to injuries and possibly more blood, she didn’t need to be easier for the wolves to track. She was gambling, and she didn’t like her odds.
Unfortunately for Kagome, it was at the exact moment that her feet met the road that the moon decided to shed it’s blanket of clouds, casting its light over the area.
“There she is!” Shouted the Infant.
And like lightning, the Slayer was on a cat demon yanking her from the road. The cart took off and the Slayer threw her boomerang, scattering the wolves.
“Keep your head down.” The Slayer warned and then Kagome felt the wind cut as the boomerang returned to its owner. The weight from the large weapon pushed the demon carrying them back, yet the woman caught it one-handed.
Kagome was impressed for a minute before she remembered that now she was safely back in the hands of her murderers.
