Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday Dec. 24, 2022: Tsubaki!

Hello everyone! We are @inu-mothership are back with our last fic rec list of the year. It’s been such fun bringing you ship and character rec lists, and we look forward to doing more of that in 2023!

This week, our members have voted, and we’re pleased to share that our character list this week will focus on Tsubaki! The dark miko: she’s vain, she’s power-hungry, and she’ll do whatever she can to keep both her beauty and her power intact!

Our list (featured below the cut!) is divided into two sections. First, we have a section dedicated to the most popular Tsubaki ship, which is Tsubaki and Kikyo! Then, we have a section dedicated to gen fics/fics where Tsubaki is not part of the primary pairing. We hope you enjoy this list, and we’ll see everyone in the new year! Thanks so much for your support, all! We really do appreciate it.

💜 The Mods

An examination of relationships within Inuyasha.

The Deadliest Sin (InuKag with implied Tsubaki/Hojo; E; complete) by @fawn-eyed-girl and @hopidoodle

Socialite Kagome Higurashi has been murdered in her New York City apartment, and Detective Inuyasha Taisho has been assigned to be the lead in the case. As he investigates, he meets a strange assortment of friends and family, all of whom have a motive to kill her. But the most surprising thing of all is when he enters Kagome's apartment and sees her portrait hanging on the wall...

Because Inuyasha realizes that Kagome was his soulmate. And now she is dead.

But the more Inuyasha looks into the case, the more things are not what they seem...

Can Inuyasha solve the mystery in time?

Dissonance (Shiori/Souten; M; ongoing) by @witchygirl99

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza, Ch. 3: Refusing to Repeat the Past (M; complete) by @heynikkiyousofine

A collection of my one-shots for my bingo card.

Murky Magic (SessKag; M; complete) by @sereia1313

In which Sesshoumaru has a spell cast on him, with interesting results.

Onigumo House (InuKik, InuKag, MirSan; E; complete) by @splendentgoddess

“Are you interested in a once in a lifetime experience that's to die for?” Kagome read with some dramatic flair that had Souta laughing. “If you think you have what it takes to survive what goes bump in the night then come for a stay at Onigumo House.”

Paint Me a Picture (InuKag; E; complete) by @kalcia, @neutronstarchild, @ruddcatha

“Madame can see beyond what others can see.” Kagome looked at the golden paint the kindly old woman was offering, the paint that would complete the painting she had poured her soul into: Inuyasha. Her only respite from the life she was trapped in: a betrothal to one she does not love. But when she adds the final touches to her masterpiece, she finds that she must set her life on a new path, for herself, and for the soulmate that has waited for her to return to him for 400 years.

The Selection Process (SessKag; M; complete) by @sereia1313

Every century that Sesshoumaru isn't mated, the most powerful females compete for the position. However, it takes more than fighting to be the Lady of the West. It is a tedious affair, and one Sesshoumaru would rather avoid, but after being gifted with the services of a mysterious miko, he suddenly finds the events much more interesting.

Soul Deep Fear (InuKag; T; complete) by @neutronstarchild

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Tsubaki was going to make sure that the Inu no Taisho’s family would feel her wrath. When her engagement to Tōga was broken by her sister Izayoi’s being the man’s soulmate, Tsubaki curses the entire Inu no Taisho line so that they should never find happiness with their soulmates. And when Inuyasha touches the hand of a barista at his local coffee shop, igniting the soul bond, all he can feel is her fear. Will he be cursed to have his soulmates flee from him for eternity? Or will this one, unlike the last, overcome her fear?

Through the Night (MirSan/InuKag; M; ongoing) by @sapphirestarxx

Sango is a demon slayer in a world that is unaware of the existence of demons and evil spirits. When her best friend and priestess Kagome calls her and tells her she wants Sango to meet her new “boyfriend” she meets not only him but his best friend, Miroku. After a confrontation in an abandoned house, secrets are revealed and they all must work together to defeat a foe they know very little about. One that has been leaving behind strange runes and attacking those with spiritual powers, leaving them in mysterious comas. Along the way feelings start to develop between the two pairs.

Wrath: Kikyō’s Kill List (InuKik, NarKik; M; complete) by @neutronstarchild

Kanna (Brown Recluse), Kagura (Redback), Hakudoshi (Brazilian Wandering Spider), Tsubaki (Brown Widow), and finally, Naraku (Funnel Web). Those were the assassins who took everything from me—my family, his family, my fiancé and our daughter. But they made one cardinal mistake: they left me alive. So one by one, I will send them all to hell. I was never ‘Black Widow,’ I was always ‘Kikyō.’ They will all learn that lesson soon enough and they will all suffer my wrath.

This story is an adaptation of Kill Bill, with Kikyō as "the Bride." So be prepared for some fun and violent darkness.

It doesn’t matter anyway

“Kagome hates Inuyasha and Inuyasha hates Kagome. Both think the other is at fault and everything has escalated ever since. But who would have thought that a particular demon who has always generated conflict between the two would intervene to fix the situation?”

Read on Ao3.

Confessions of the Heart

Feeling the cool breeze brush gently against her cheek, she silently thanked the wind for its kind gesture as this was a particularly warm summer night. Relaxing her body until her back was pressed against the worn wooden roof, Kagura sighed, her mind in turmoil as she fingered a single feather in between her fingers. Flashes of silver hair and priestess robes plagued her, her heart splitting in two as it yearned for completely different people. Even with the damned thing in Naraku’s hands, I can still feel these emotions running through me.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza Week Four

Sweet Confessions

“Why are you being like this?!”

Frustrated didn’t even begin to describe how Kagome felt right now. She was angry, hurt, her limbs ached after the last two days of traveling back to Kaede’s, her head throbbed, but most of all she was tired, tired of it all. She just wanted to go home, soak in a bath and take a long nap. They had been traveling south, past Jinenji’s village and while this particular journey started out great, it’s ending the opposite.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza 2022 Week Four

His limbs felt heavy, too stiff for his liking, and when he tried to wiggle his toes, his entire body protested. Allowing his body to relax, he took a deep breath, preparing himself for what he was about to see. Eyelids fluttering open, he paused when he saw fluorescent lights glaring down at him. Where am I?

Living for the One That I Love

All around him, his companions slept soundly, even the hanyou perched high in the tree, his standard spot right above the future born miko. It wasn’t the fire crackling just feet in front of him, or the neko purring loudly to his left, or even the faint crickets in the forest. What had his full attention was the demon slayer sleeping in Kirara’s fur, her lips parted as she took in a deep breath. Sango.

Stormy Weather

I hate stormy weather. Unable to stop the shivering, Kagome wrapped her rain soaked arms around her, her body refusing to warm up despite no longer being in the unexpected torrential downpour. Most of the time, Inuyasha or even Shippo were able to tell when a storm was coming, but on this early winter day, everyone was caught by surprise. She watched trees being bent over by the wind, the harsh gusts creating a high pitch whistle as it blew across the cave’s opening. Biting her lip, she glanced over at her hanyou companion.

Part Two

Kagome bit her lip, hoping she didn’t give away any indication she heard him. Sometimes, her clients made happy noises when she hit a spot, but dear kami, he was so attractive. I wonder what he sounds like in the bedroom. Down girl, you don’t give out happy endings. You’re not Yura. Frowning when she felt him tense below her, she shook her head, determined to get his name before he left. And maybe find out whether or not he’s single.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza Week Three: Black & White

My Gift to You

“Inuyasha! Where are you taking me?” Kagome giggled, allowing her hanyou to guide her along the dirt path. This must be something extremely important since we’re going alone. She returned to the feudal era almost three months ago, spending as much time as she could with her favorite hanyou, while training with Miroku and Kaede daily and hanging out with Sango as well. However, it seemed that Inuyasha seemed to be spending more and more time alone as the days passed, avoiding her for some strange reason.

Nov. 13th, 2022 InuPrompt: Headcanon & Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza: Scars

So, I was actually inspired by @shinidamachu for this one and decided to go along with it. I had so much fun coming up with these one shots for Nov. Inu Prompt Week and can’t wait to do it again next year. feel free to check out my full list on ao3

Kagome smiled as the transformation overtook her husband, his demonic traits fading completely when the last sliver of daylight descended below the horizon. This was the first new moon they would be sending together since being married only two weeks ago and she was excited to say the least.

The first human night after her return, they had spent the entire night talking, Inuyasha finally admitting he was afraid she was going to disappear and that since he was human, he wouldn’t be able to go after her. The second and third human nights, they stayed with Sango and Miroku while they were finishing their own hut before the wedding.

“Why ya smilin’ like that?”

“Can’t I smile at my handsome husband?” Kagome giggled when a bright blush spread across his nose and she gave him a reprieve from her teasing, turning to place another log on the fire. She figured he was feeling a little out of sorts, while yes, they were married and consummated their marriage, they had yet to do more than kissing while he was human.

It wasn’t for lack of trying on her end, Inuyasha simply insisted they wait until after they were married and he wanted their first time while he was a hanyou. She didn’t push him, understanding his reasons completely, but she wanted to explore his body and see how many times she could get him to submit to her.

“I know whatcha thinkin’ wench.” He stated, crossing his arms across his chest as she leaned back on her calves, tilting her head.

“You couldn’t possibly know what I was thinking, Inuyasha.”

“We will get to do whatever it is your plannin’, just give me some time to adjust.” He requested, his voice quieting with embarrassment. Feeling a twinge of guilt, Kagome nodded and smiled in understanding. Seeing something white on his neck, she reached forward, ready to remove when she realized it was a scar.

“Inuyasha?” She leaned to the side, peering closer.

“Oi, ‘Gome, why are you starin’ at my neck?” He moved back, staring at her like she was crazy, his gray eyes searching hers with trepidation.

“When did you get hurt on your neck?” She inched her fingers towards him, her fingertips a gentle touch as she brushed against the half inch iridescent scar.

“It was either from Yura’s hair or Jakotsu’s sword, ya don’t remember?”

“But I thought you healed from all of those? You never have any scars, except for the one when you were sealed to the Goshinboku.”

He took a deep breath and began removing his robe of the fire rat and then his under kosode after, revealing his chest and arms. All over his body were various scars in all shapes and sizes, Kagome staring in pure shock.

“They show up when I’m human.” He grumbled, his fear of being rejected evident in his tone. Shaking her head, Kagome readied herself to reassure him, observe his body and love him, hoping he understood that she loved him in no matter what form he was in.

“Can I touch them?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. He nodded, swallowing a lump that had formed in his throat. She gave him a soft smile, her fingers tracing a particularly long one across his forearm.

“Do you remember how you got them all?”

“For the most part, though I’m sure ya remember most of them too.”

She nodded, flashes of a teenaged hanyou covered in injuries during the shard hunt, her gaze never leaving his body. She knew the large one that splayed across his gut, with one to match on his lower back was from Sesshomaru. The circular dime sized one above his heart was from Kikyo and she had the urge to place a kiss over it.

He had a few more around his neck, similar to the first one she noticed and figured it was from both battles he mentioned. He even had one above his right eye, the memory of the missing black pearl and their adventure to his father’s grave surfacing.

“The one you touched on my arm first was from Tokajin, that bastard’s vines got in too many places to count, but that one took longer to heal for some reason.” He grabbed her hand, placing it on his shoulder, her fingertips pressing against two fang shaped pink scars. “Remember the first night I turned human? That damned spider demon got me good with his venom. I was shocked to see that one the next time I transformed.”

He guided her hand to a long slash across his abs, parts of it overlapping the one Sesshomaru left.

“I don’t need to remind you about my brother’s injuries to me, but the long one is when I transformed and slaughtered the moth demon Gatenmaru and his stupid bandits. Even my demon blood couldn’t stop that one from leaving a mark.”

She continued her search, Inuyasha adding various comments and descriptions here and there, Kagome ending her study for his face, noticing the tiny ones across his cheekbones.

“When Tessaiga got the Adamant Barrage, I took the brunt of all those diamonds to protect you.” He whispered, pressing his nose into her palm. She rose to her knees and gave into her desire to place kisses on each of them, her heart overwhelming with conflicted emotions. She loved that he protected her, but hated that he was injured because of her as well.

Beginning with the one above his heart, she did just what she wanted and ended, brushing her lips against his jaw, continuing to cradle his face.

“Thank you for showing me. I had no idea, but I know you would have just shrugged it off as nothing anyways.”

“I would do it all over again, just for us to be here with each other.” He placed a brief kiss on her lips, full of love. She quickly crawled into his lap, wrapping her arms around his waist, his arms curling around her. They sat there silently for a little while, enjoying the feeling and warmth of the other.

Sleep overtook her and when she awoke the next morning, her hanyou was back to normal. Checking to see if they had all disappeared, she vowed to cherish each of his battles, his scars, his love, every human night they shared for the rest of her life. And if she never got the chance to make him submit, she would be completely okay with that.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza & November InuPrompt

Nov. 10th, 2022 InuPrompt: Mental Health; Bingo Bonanza: Support

A Friend’s Support

trigger warning: mentions of suicide

“Kagome?” She asked softly, her voice croaking from lack of use.

“Hmm? Sango? Is everything okay?” Kagome glanced up from the small fire, Inuyasha’s, Miroku’s, and Shippo’s gaze on her. Flushing at their attention, she nodded, silently hoping Kagome would understand her need to talk alone, eyes darting over at a sleeping Kirara.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza 2022

Where One Goes

She knew her wife needed a moment, needed time to process the past three days as a lot had happened, even for someone who’s lived for a while, but Shiori knew more than anything, Rin needed her. Careful of her footing, she trudged up the hill as the sun began its final descent behind the far off mountains in the west.

A soft sob came from her left and Shiori peered around a cluster of trees, her heart aching at the scene. Sitting atop a giant boulder, Rin had her face in her hands, her long dark hair falling over her shoulders as she sat crossed legged in her priestess attire.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza 2022

Home Is Where the Pack Is

read on ao3

Boisterous laughter filled the clearing, smiling faces lit up by the fire, as drinks and food were passed around. Even though the sun had set hours ago, summer was in full swing, the sound of cicadas humming in the distance. Hogs and deer were roasting above the flames, the tender meat ready to fall off the bone, while giant jugs of sake left them feeling warm and fuzzy. It’s the perfect night for a celebration.

Blue eyes glanced around at his tribe, the wolves chomping on bones and many of the demons joked with each other as two packs joined together. At the head of their den sat Koga and Ayame, Prince and Princess of the Eastern Ookami. As he sat next to his brother Hakkaku, Ginta finally felt whole.

“Hey Hak, can you believe we are finally celebrating those lovebirds' mating ceremony? I mean, three years ago, we were following Koga around as he hunted down Naraku, avenging our brothers’ deaths.”

“I know!” Hakkuku shoveled another bite of hog in his mouth, wiping the juice dripping down his chin before letting out a belch, “Who knew we would be back here, sitting with our pack after all the shit that went down?”

“Remember that time we ran into Inuyasha’s scary brother?” He shivered, the flash of Sesshoamru’s icy glare appearing across his mind.

“Dude, I know! I thought he was gonna kill us!”

“But did you hear that Kagome married Inuyasha? She came back after being gone for so long.”

“Our sister got mated?! That’s so great for them, we should go visit sometime.” Hakkaku waved the leg in the air as a couple of their brothers fought over some dead carcass nearby. Taking a swig of whatever the next jug they were passing around, Ginta nodded, agreeing. I wonder what it would have been like if Kagome had mated Koga? Then she would truly be our sister, but anyone could see how much she loved the hanyou. Except for the two of them, of course.

“I still can’t believe that she and Inuyasha took out Naraku the way they did. I mean, I know they were powerful, but that demon was walking hell.” Standing up, Ginta held up the pigskin as everyone quieted.

“As we are celebrating our Prince Koga’s mating to the beautiful Ayame, I want to also remember our fallen brothers. Naraku and his incarnations were responsible for the slaughter of our family, but they have been avenged. Tonight, when we laugh with each other, we should always remember the ones before us, the ones who gave their lives so we could have ours. ” He finished his speech, his words echoing around him.

“That was the sweetest thing ever.” Ayame wiped a lone tear, while Koga stood, holding his own hand up for silence as thunderous applause surrounded them.

“Ginta is correct. Over the last few years, we have lost the people we cared most about, we have helped defeat the darkest evil that has ever walked this earth, and for finding the one we will spend the next lifetime with.” He smiled, sliding his hand in Ayame’s outstretched one. “I couldn’t have done it without the two I’ve known since we were cubs, the two I’m proud to call my brothers.”

He knew the tears were coming, but wasn’t prepared for the waterfall of emotions that this night would bring, especially as his twin leapt up and hugged him with his own outburst. Everyone cheered and clapped louder, passing around more food and drinks as the night went on. Just as Koga and Ayame were about to head inside to start trying for cubs of their own, he pulled them aside, a light blush on his cheeks.

“I know I’m not one to get emotional and shit, but seriously, I wouldn’t have made it through the last decade without the two of you.” He smiled, his fangs glinting in the fading moonlight.

“We would follow you to the ends of the earth if we had to.” Hakkaku slung his arm over Ginta’s shoulders, his body heavy.

“We’re brothers.” Ginta shrugged, refusing to become a bundle of tangled emotions for the second time that night, “Wherever you are is home.”

“Ya know, the next celebration will be one of your mating ceremonies.” Koga bursted into laughter, running toward the cave’s entrance, a spark in his eyes. “Though I don’t know who would mind sharing with the other, but I’ll be front and center, cheering ya on.”

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza 2022

happy november lovelies! 💕 So excited for the many things coming this month

Tōtōsai’s Craft

read on ao3

“Thank you all for gathering for the special occasion as we share in the happiness of Inuyasha and Kagome….” The old priestess announced with a grin, Tōtōsai placing Myōga on his left shoulder so the flea could see better. Giving the clearing a solid observation, he hummed his approval.

The happy couple held hands, both the hanyō and miko clothed in traditional human wedding attire while the ones they considered family surrounded them as they began their vows in front of the Goshinboku. To their left, clutching three tiny children, were the monk and taijiya with the tiny fox kit at their feet.

To the right of the tree, much to his surprise, was Sesshōmaru and his little following, the human girl and the imp. If anyone were to glance at the daiyōukai, they would think he was bored, but if you knew the demon, you could see the faintest hints of a smile on his lips and a flash of sincerity in his eyes. Seems as if the pups are getting along well these days. Though, I suppose that has something to do with the defeat of that awful spider hanyō.

“Master Tōtōsai,” Myōga whispered, “I never thought this day would come, especially between the two brothers. The Inu no Taishō’s final wishes are coming true.”

He hummed his approval. As the gray haired human continued to speak, his mind filled with the memory of his first meeting with Tōga, Lord of the West, centuries ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hammer swinging down, the blade morphing to his will, Tōtōsai almost missed the faint footsteps coming to stop behind him. He paused for a second, the stranger’s non-threatening, but powerful aura washing over him.

“Go away, I don’t have time for whatever ya need.” He grumbled, raising his hammer once more.

“Not even for the Lord of the West?” A deep voice chuckled. Sighing, he lowered his arm, deciding it time for a break anyways. He loved what he did, his particular craft of weapons were known all over the countryside, even far enough to the west it seemed, but sometimes this cave was just too damn hot. Turning around, he beckoned the Lord closer, peering at him in the cave’s light.

“Tōtōsai, I presume?” The inu daiyōukai smiled, his fangs gleaming.

“Yah, what do ya need?” He wiped the sweat from his brow, taking in his appearance. While Tōtōsai wore a simple forest green and black striped kimono, this demon wore a white kimono and hakama, a hadagi undershirt, a spiked rim attached to the upper section of his black breastplate with a "lotus petal" fauld that possess a grayish color trim, a long flowing sash with details, and armored boots that contains black, all with the addition of an eastern land’s influence.

He also wore black and light grayish purple armored gauntlets, a layered spiked pauldron on each shoulder, and a parted pelt that extends from both shoulders and trails behind him as he walks; representing the two streaks of fur running down the back of his yōkai form.

Tōga appeared as a tall and slender man. He had tan skin, slanted golden eyes with slit pupils, and long white hair that was tied up into a very high ponytail by a dark blue ribbon with short wavy bangs. Like other full-blooded yōkai, he has pointed ears as well as fangs and claws. He also had wide, jagged violet stripes on the cheeks, a magenta stripe on each eyelid, and black eyebrows.

Tōtōsai knew who he was, the Lord of the Western Lands, the Great Dog General, as many called him the Inu no Taisho, had made his way to Tōtōsai’s cave. He had heard of his strength and now, feeling his impressive demonic aura, he knew that whatever weapon this demon requested would become the most perfect thing he would ever create.

However, Tōtōsai didn’t give out swords just because someone asked, he would determine if the individual were even capable of handling such a thing, if somehow the person was planning on using it to destroy innocents, then he would send them on their way, empty handed.

“I have heard of your skills, of how you are able to infuse weapons with yōkai to defeat one’s foes.”

“Let me guess, you need me to create a sword so you can become even more powerful than you already are, to defeat some distant enemy that is coming to steal your wife or something like that?”

At his question, Tōga bursted into laughter, slapping his hand on Tōtōsai’s back so hard, he had to refrain from grunting. Damn, he is strong. Blinking slowly, he waited for the man to stop, unsure of what exactly was so funny. Maybe I’m getting senile.

“Close, but not really. I’m already strong, I just need a weapon that can harness the abilities and power from the one it’s slain.”

“If you’re so capable already, why do you need it?” He crossed his arms, trying to decipher this man’s intentions. The smile fell from his face and Tōga settled himself on a nearby stone, features passive as he explained.

“I am to create an heir and my oh-so-wise council suggests soon.” He waved his hand nonchalantly and Tōtōsai wondered if this had anything to do with his request, but stood there silently, listening. “I know that once I do, many from all over will come and attempt to take their life and their mother’s solely for the fact that they will be my heir. I want to be able to protect them at all costs and hopefully one day, gift them the sword when they have someone to protect themselves.”

“Hmmmm, it’s a noble request and I don’t get many of those.” Tōtōsai rolled his eyes at the many times men had come barging in, demanding something that would obliterate everyone in its path, only for him to light the ground at their feet on fire. “It’s doable, but I will need something of yours that will make it even stronger.”

“Anything!” Tōga leapt up, the smile back on his face.

“I need….” He grinned, ideas flowing through his head on just what he could create with such a thing. “Your fang.”

“You have a deal.” When the demon lord held out his hand, he firmly grasped it as he pulled a pair of pliers from his kimono. “Now, open wide.”

It had taken him a full fortnight to create the damn blade, “Tessaiga” as Tōga would come to call it, the “Steel-Cleaving Fang” or “Sword of Destruction”. The sword, a rusty, battered katana in its everyday form, would transform into a blade with the Inu’s own yōkai. The sheath, made from Bokusenō’s wood, protected the sword, even creating a barrier for anyone who was not capable of wielding the blade.

Its main attack, the “wind scar” as many would come to call it later, could take out a hundred lives in one stroke. It was clearly an immensely powerful weapon, one that would serve its purpose, just as he had intended.

He had to admit, when Tōga stepped out from the cave, bringing his creation to life, Tōtōsai was pretty damn proud of himself. After that, word had spread exponentially and he was booming with business. It gave him the opportunity to deny someone even more if he felt that they were not worthy enough for such a weapon. He delighted in that many times.

Years later, he was visited again by Tōga when Sesshōmaru was still a young pup, asking to split his blade in two. Not quite understanding the situation, Tōtōsai simply searched for the answer himself. He had held the blade in his palms, Tessaiga’s energy guiding him through what happened, as if it had a mind of its own.

Tōga had defeated Shishinki and gained the technique Meido Zangetsuha, but it wasn’t something that fit, the skill dangerous. He spent another fortnight removing a part of Tessaiga’s blade to create the new, thinner blade. With this one, one could use the technique, slicing a hole into the underworld, while also being able to bring someone back from the dead.

He had suggested Tōga call it “Coffin Cheater”, but much to Tōtōsai’s dismay, the demon went for Tenseiga, the ‘Heavenly Rebirth Fang” or “Sword of Life”. When he had asked what he would do with it, he replied that he was unsure, but something so powerful shouldn’t be in just anyone’s hands and he would hold onto it.

It had been many years since his last encounter with the Lord of the West, Tōtōsai never receiving an answer directly, but heard rumors about him falling in love with a human hime and a new pup arriving soon.

After Tōga's death for his final battle with Izayoi's old guardsman, the samurai Takemaru of Setsuna, Tōtōsai came to the burned mansion where he saw Myōga crying in grief, and Saya, Sō’unga’s spirited sheath, joining him. He tells them that "crying won't bring the Great Dog Demon back from the grave." and asked Myōga if he disposed of the Tessaiga according to his will, and Myōga answered that he did, he placed the Tessaiga in his master's domains located in the Border of the Afterlife and the path to it within the Black Pearl.

He knew Sesshōmaru would come hunting for Tessaiga, so he placed it in a place that would not easily be found, the daiyokai’s gravesite. Then Tōtōsai gave the Tenseiga to their old friend Bokusenō that it's for Sesshōmaru, as Myōga asked that he didn't gave it to him all by himself, he answered "If I lived so dangerously, I'd never have made it to this ripe old age."

It left one problem: Sō'unga. Saya suggested to Tōtōsai to give Sō'unga to Sesshōmaru, but Tōtōsai refused that he's already upset with them as it is, over being bequeathed Tenseiga, and Myōga thinks that they can't give it Inuyasha, because he's just a baby. Saya suggested he'd hold the sword off quietly for 700 years, and tells them to place him along with the sword into the Bone-Eater's Well in the land of Musashi.

As he headed back to his castle, hearing the soft cry of a new born babe in the distance, Tōtōsai wondered if he could ever create such a weapon ever again, putting his unique craft aside, in hopes that one day, the two sons of the great Inu no Taishō would come together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It only took a couple hundred years, but it seems they have come together, more or less. Sesshōmaru even has a blade of his own now, with a new arm to go with. As much as he wished he could claim that he made Bakusaiga, the sword came from the daiyōukai’s own demonic power and was truly his own, surpassing his father’s power. The baka only had to give up on his obsession with Tessaiga. Even so, Tōga would be proud of how far the two have come. Inuyasha was able to wield the Tessaiga with his own yōkai intertwined, passing his father’s strength as well. Myōga was correct, the Inu no Taishō’s final wishes are coming true.

Glancing at the fangs that hung on each warrior’s hip, he felt their aura pulse out, as if greeting an old friend. Smiling softly, he was still proud of his handiwork, even if he may never find one to create such a beauty ever again.

“Oi, ya old geezer.” A hard tap on his forehead had Tōtōsai glaring at the newly wedded hanyō, “Ceremony’s done and ya fell asleep.” Insolent pup. Blinking, he tilted his head to the side, his trademark blank stare forming.

“Was that what this was?” He questioned, playing dumb.

“Forgetting things at your age, huh?” Inuyasha snickered.

“Must you insult every elder of yours, little brother?” Sesshōmaru sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Come Rin, it is time to head to the priestess’s hut.”

A bubbly giggle from his right had Tōtōsai glancing to see Kagome smiling at him with bright, blue eyes. There were rumors of her pure soul, it seems they were right. Her aura brushed against his, lifting his heart in many ways as the group began to drift towards the human village for celebration. I wonder if I could craft something with her spiritual powers. It might just be time to dust off my tools.
