I need some Inuyasha as a great father (more like DILF, amirite?) headcanons, can you help me out?

I'm here to serve!

• It isn’t until they’re happily married for at least one or two years that the possibility of children are brought up.

• At first, they took that time to relearn each other, enjoy their company and make the honeymoon phase last a little long. They did spend three years apart, after all. There’s so much time to make up for, so many catching up to do before they’d even think to throw a kid into the mix. Plus, being a modern woman, Kagome would know how to avoid pregnancy the best her new circumstances allowed and how important that time alone is for a newly-married couple.

• They never actually had the child talk because Kagome just assumed that’s where their relationship would naturally lead to, given her motherly tendencies and Inuyasha’s history of ultimately giving her everything she wants. For his part, Inuyasha knew she wanted to be a mother someday and he'd be lying if he said he never indulged the fantasy of fathering her children. However, he has serious trouble wrapping his mind around the idea that, in reality, Kagome would still be up for it if he were to be the father. He could never dare to ask of her more than she has already given him. Be that as it may, it was not a big deal because it was not a dealbreaker. Nothing was.

• But with time, Kagome would have noticed how good Inuyasha is with Hisui and the Mirsan twins. How his relationship with Shippo had developed from a sibling banter to a makeshift paternal relationship. How people like Shiori and Bunza would look up to him like he was some kind of movie hero. How every kid in the village seemed to adore him despite his grumpy demeanor.

• And Inuyasha would have noticed the way Kagome would look at him whenever he so much as interacted with a child, the way her smell would spike significantly.

• She, of course, was the one to make the first move, jumping him one night, after they had spend the whole day stuck with babysitting the Mirsan children and popping the question.

• Inuyasha was relutant. There was a part of him that was adamant on making her happy and even believed having babies would make him happy too. On the other hand, he was terrified. Terrified of how her body would react to childbirth, of if her spiritual powers would accept his demonic energy. But mostly, about what would happen once the baby was born. The last thing he wanted was for Kagome to go through everything his mother had to go through. Or for another kid to face the same prejudice he did. Besides, he grew up with no father figure whose steps he could follow. He didn’t know how to be a father.

• Kagome assures him that they won’t have a baby until they’re both ready and on the same page, that they have time and that Inuyasha will be a great father.

• Inuyasha believes her.

• Then it is him felling some type of way whenever he sees Kagome around kids. And something deep inside desperately wishes to find out what would their children look like, what would it be like to hold and take care of someone born from their love.

• Finally, he caves.

• Inuyasha wants a big family, considering how lonely his childhood was. Kagome finds it pivotal for their first-born to have a sibling, since she had Sota and their relationship was one of the most important things in her life. That’s why they’d have two children minimum, preferably a boy and a girl. However, giving how dangerous and uncomfortable childbirth can be, especially without the perks the modern era provides, I don’t think they’d have more than three.

• Naturally, Inuyasha relies on Miroku for advice and the latter is more helpful than not. Except for the times Inuyasha asks or says something that makes it way too easy for Miroku to mess with him. Like the time he told Inuyasha that if he doesn’t get Kagome whatever food she craves while pregnant, the baby will be born looking exactly like that food. And Inuyasha believed him.

• And if you thought Inuyasha was protective of Kagome before... oh boy! He’d be almost overbearing, but Kagome would see it as endearing. Most of the time. Sometimes, though, a woman has got to have her privacy. He also becomes more attentive, more gentle, sweeter.

• After their first child is born, Inuyasha gets a makeover of sorts. He’s always borrowing the Fire Rat to Kagome and the baby anyway, so he figured it’d be more practical to just pass the clothes on to them already and get something new for himself.

• It’s white.

• Inuyasha becomes taller, stronger. And often lets Kagome experiment with his hair with braids, top nots... and ponytails.

• Old Myoga is the first one to notice the resemblance. And it’s true. He’s the spitting image of Toga. Former enemies and allies often mistaken him for Toga and Kagome thinks the look on their (and Inuyasha’s) face is hilarious.

• Sesshoumaru does not care for it (I stole this one from @heavenin--hell).

• Inuyasha hates his human nights even more because now his vulnerability also means he might not be able to protect his family as he usually would (Together Changed by @goshinote and @lostinfantasyworlds inspired this one). Plus, the black hair and lack of dog ears confuses the baby, who cries and fusses for a good while until realizing it is, in fact, Inuyasha holding them (this one I saw in an adorable fanart I can’t find).

• But since he needs way less sleeping than humans and he spends the New Moons up anyway, Inuyasha gets a lot of quality time with their infant at night, which allows Kagome to actually get a good night sleep unless the baby is hungry.

• The Beads of Subjugation get dooled and chewed on. A lot.

• A little contest takes place between Kagome and Inuyasha about what the first word of their first child would be, with Kagome going for “dada” and Inuyasha going for “mama.”

• Kagome wins.

• Inuyasha’s fighting style changes. He still says some snarky remarks, but now it’s more to push his opponent‘s buttons down so they would get sloppy than anything else. After all, he has a child to think about and provide for now. He doesn’t have the luxury of gambling with his life anymore. He has a home to come back to and therefore won’t be taking any chances (credit to @born-for-eachother for this one).

• And so he becomes more lethal on the battle field. Pragmatic. Objective. Calculating. Decisive. Cold blooded. Much like... Sesshomaru.

• He had never been more offended on his life than the day Sango pointed this out to him.

• When the kids grow up a bit, Inuyasha and Kagome start to tell them bedtime stories, with the PG version of the story about how the met and defeated Naraku being their favorite.

• Kagome tries to be a reliable and calm narrator while Inuyasha exaggerates the events and the voices, almost always breaking objects of their house in the process.

• After hearing one too many times about the Beads of Subjugation, their child tries to “sit” Inuyasha. Of course it doesn’t work, but he still makes a big deal out of throwing himself on the ground every time they say the word just to hear them laugh.

• The first actual toy Inuyasha buys them is a ball, just like the one he had as a kid, at the same time accomplishing a childhood wish through them and ensuring that they would always have someone to play with.

• Kagome is more protective of their physical state while Inuyasha is more protective of their emotional one (see Fist Fight by @omgitscharlie)

• Inuyasha goes to Totosai and asks him to make a weapon out of one of his fangs to each of their children once they get old enough for it. Not necessarily a sword, just something of their choice and that better fits their personality.

• He would be a just father, doing his best to show no favoritism, treat his children equally and make sure no one felt overlooked or unloved.

• But truth be told, if one of their babies turn out to be a daughter, he would definitelly let her get away with almost anything, no matter how much of a gremlin she is. Daddy’s little girl would have him wrapped around her tiny fingers.

• Life never treated Inuyasha kindly. From a very young age, it was kill or be killed. It wouldn't be too far off for him to think the exact same thing could happen with his kids, therefore he tries to prepare them, to tough them up so they can take it.

• And I believe this sentiment would be significantly amplified with a son, because it would involve the whole “suck it up”, “men don’t cry” and “man of the house” aspect of it. The “it is your duty to protect your mother and sister when I’m gone” too, especially because he couldn’t protect Izayoi himself.

• It’s “tough love”, but it’s love nonetheless. And in the right dose, which I believe Inuyasha manages to nail, it can be very important for one’s development and growth.

• But it’s hard to imagine him being as tough with a daughter. Probably because he sees so much of Kagome on her that the mere idea of seeing her cry simply breaks him.

• Kagome would actually have to step in when it comes to disciplining and saying “no”, because he simply wouldn’t have it in him to do so.

There’s actually a really nice post by @keichanz I reblogged a while ago discussing precisely that, but I can’t find it to save my life (should I start to properly tag my reblogs? No, it’s a lot of work and I’m right not to).

Anyway, that’s all I got for now.

Peace out.

Hi @fantasizingmyfantasies, I’m your Secret Santa for the @inusecretsanta! Hope you enjoy :)

Pairing: InuKag

Rated: G

Summary: Professor Naraku, in a fit of rage over Inuyasha’s insolence, has given every House an assignment on a nearly impossible undetectable poison. Two Gryffindors and two Hufflepuffs solve it anyways, with interesting results.

Note Regarding Witchy Banner Below: Shoutout to @neutronstarchild for making this for me :) She’s the absolute best. Inspiration for the banner comes from @dangerouspompadour and her wonderful creative to let you all know to keep reading ;)

“Are you sure?” Jinenji asked, tugging his long, swirling robes tighter around him as they bustled through the arched hallways of the castle. Students were everywhere, both fleeing into and out of the library. With O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s so close, wizards and witches at Hogwarts had settled into an almost zombie-like state of mania, complete with the muttering of enchantments and funny hand twitches as they fake-casted spells. As a third year, Jinenji was thankful he still didn’t have to worry about those. At least, not yet.

“Have some faith in me,” his best friend, Kagome, argued. Her dark brown eyes looked up at him, somehow glimmering off the yellow inner lining of her robe, peeking out while they hurried to their destination. Jinenji had met Kagome back when they were both first years, both assigned by the Sorting Hat to Hufflepuff. They had become fast friends and for the most part, the two of them managed to partner on most important projects. “Miroku already finished the assignment. Apparently, his guardian was always going on about different poisons, especially those that could be hidden in a drink.”

Jinenji hummed, believing her. He had never talked to Miroku before but Kagome was a good judge of character. If she trusted the Ravenclaw, then he did, too. “I’m surprised we were given this assignment at all. Aren’t we supposed to discuss undetectable poisons, not create them for homework?”

“Well, we have Gryffindor to thank for that.” His best friend pushed through the grand wooden door of Hogwarts’s library, a hush befalling them, like the outside noise of the castle was cast away. Immediately, they could feel eyes on them, though no one visible stood behind a desk. That was likely because the library was ruled with an iron fist by Mister Myoga, the head librarian and also a flea demon. He used his virtually non-existent height to sneak around and ensure students were treating the books with care or remaining quiet. “I heard,” Kagome whispered now, “that Professor Naraku was so angry that he kicked some Gryffindor out of the classroom and then proceeded to make three Slytherins who cheered cry.”

“You’d think he’d have enjoyed that,” Jinenji mumbled back, trying his best to keep quiet. “Professor Naraku is kind to the Slytherins.” His friend hummed at him, leading them further and further back into the library. Jinenji trusted her to know where they were going, and exactly what they were looking for. “Seems unnecessary that this is our assignment, too. Gryffindor and Slytherin had class yesterday. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw today. Why give it to us, too?”

“It’s Professor Naraku, who knows?”

That, at least, was a fair point that Jinenji couldn’t argue with. Not that he was one to argue much at all.

“Come on,” Kagome whispered, hand tugging on his robe. “There’s a potions book – almost like an encyclopedia – by the greatest potioneer ever, Mukotsu Inada. Terrible wizard. I’m pretty sure he’s been in Azkaban for the last ten years. But!” She waved a hand at Jinenji’s look of horror. “The greatest potioneer ever. If there’s no details on this undetectable itching poison in there, then it’s nowhere.”

Jinenji hid his expression, knowing Kagome was right. At this point in the library, he was completely lost, but his friend had no such issues. They turned a corner at one stack of books before zagging in the other direction, muffled voices coming from not too far away. He watched as Kagome frowned, dragging him still, and when they came to what was clearly supposed to be the right spot, he spotted two other students scouring the shelves: Gryffindors.

“You!” Kagome exclaimed, surprised.

Jinenji blinked, surprised by the outburst, and then finally took a good look at the wizard and witch before them.

It was Inuyasha and Shiori. The Troublesome Twosome of Gryffindor.

Oh no.

X+X+X

Inuyasha Taisho was already in a sulking mood, not that he would ever admit as such to Shiori. “Are you sure it’s here?”

“Where else would it be?” Shiori snapped at him, violet eyes a little crazy. She’d been looking that way ever since Inuyasha and Professor Naraku had it out in yesterday’s Potions class, and Shiori had been saddled with taking down the notes for their joint assignment on undetectable poisons without him. Potions was already the bane of Shiori’s existence; she was far more about actions and spell work, leading the Defense Against the Dark Arts grades. Inuyasha’s snarling outburst at Professor Naraku’s stupidity, followed by his dismissal only twenty minutes into class made Shiori have to do double the work. He owed her.

Still. “And you swear you heard the name correctly? You’re not just making shit up?”

“For the love of Merlin, Inuyasha, shush,” Shiori hissed. He was lucky her wand wasn’t out, or he was sure she’d have cast something on him by now. A silencing spell, if nothing else. “I overheard your Hufflepuff girl in the hall. I’m sure it’s correct.”

Inuyasha couldn’t help himself. He turned unimpressed golden eyes at her. “She’s not my Hufflepuff girl!” Ever since their first year, the two of them had been having this argument. Inuyasha didn’t understand why Shiori couldn’t let this go. So what if he thought the Hufflepuff girl was cute? That was normal. She was quick to smile and friendly and basically the opposite of Inuyasha’s entire existence. But it wasn’t like they had spoken or anything, which meant that there was no way Kagome Higurashi, Hufflepuff darling, could be considered in any way ‘his.’

“Whatever,” Shiori replied, kicking him lightly in the leg. “I guess your forlorn staring at her in the Great Hall every evening at dinner means nothing. Fine. Help me find this book!”

Inuyasha sighed. Best friend or not, Shiori was quick to call him out on anything deemed bullshit.

“You!”

Immediately, Inuyasha glared at the intruders to their little library stack, hating being surprised. It was only then that he realized, like some kind of nightmare, that the exact person they were talking about was standing before them. Kagome stared at them in shock, Hufflepuff robes fluttering around her, with another hulking Hufflepuff wizard right behind her looking rather uncomfortable. “What?” he asked, the question coming out far ruder than he meant to.

“Oh, just—” Kagome frowned a little, brow furrowing as she looked between both him and Shiori. Her dark gaze landed on his friend, curiosity taking over her features. “You were listening in earlier!”

“No,” Shiori argued immediately, shaking her head. It didn’t help that the book she was shielding herself with was, in fact, the Great Book of Potions by Mukotsu Inada.

“Just because we’re not in Ravenclaw doesn’t mean we’re stupid,” Inuyasha barked, crossing his arms defensively. “We go to the library for research, too.” He knew that he had a reputation at Hogwarts, and that by association, Shiori did too. Very few witches and wizards ever dared to challenge them at anything. This was almost refreshing.

The Hufflepuff wizard stepped forward then, looking between them and his friend before trying for a smile. He was so tall, his head was the same height as the top of the stacks. If he wasn’t in Hufflepuff and known around Hogwarts as a gentle giant, Inuyasha probably would have been worried about a fight. “We don’t think that at all,” the wizard said quietly, voice shockingly small. “It’s good that you found it. I’m Jinenji and this is Kagome. You’re looking for the itching poison too, right?”

Inuyasha couldn’t help but look at Kagome, swallowing down the words that he already knew her name a long time ago. She smiled back at him despite his unwavering scowl. Inuyasha was begrudgingly endeared even more than before. Shiori could never find out.

“We have Potions class tomorrow and if we don’t complete the assignment tonight, Professor Naraku will have our heads,” Shiori said then. “Specifically Inuyasha’s.”

“Hey!”

“Where’s the lie?”

Inuyasha scowled and looked away. “Whatever. We need the book more. We can give you back the book when we’re done.”

“No way,” Kagome argued, smile slipping. “We have far too many other assignments and this is hard enough that doing it last minute would be terrible.”

“Well then you can copy the book right now.”

Kagome plastered on a smile. “Since I was the one that led you here, you should copy the book.”

Inuyasha eyed Jinenji, the giant Hufflepuff, watching him deflate. “No,” he retorted, just to see what Kagome could do. How far could a Hufflepuff go in friendliness? “We got here first.”

“I have an idea,” Kagome interjected, still friendly but oddly firm. “Since we all want to do the same assignment tonight, why don’t we do it together? That way, we get all the information we need, we all complete the assignment on time and everyone is happy.” Inuyasha opened his mouth but she shot him a sharp look, smile gaining an edge and quelling his argument. “This is the best plan.”

“That’s fine for me,” Jinenji replied quietly. Inuyasha noticed that despite his size, he almost shifted behind Kagome, as if hiding from the confrontation. “Where will we do it? We can’t practice in one of the classrooms at this hour or we’ll be caught for sure.”

“The girls’ Gryffindor bathroom,” Shiori said suddenly, finally speaking up. “No one goes in there, not even the prefects.”

“That’s perfect,” Kagome encouraged, nodding. “Great idea.”

Too nice. She was far too fucking nice. At least she wasn’t smiling anymore, menacingly or sweetly.

Jinenji hummed. “Should we go now, then? Meet up in ten minutes so we can get our scrolls?”

“Works for me,” Shiori answered, her elbow digging into Inuyasha’s side.

He huffed. “Yeah, whatever.”

“Wonderful,” Kagome concluded.

Inuyasha watched her and the giant Hufflepuff walk away, mouthing the word wonderful incredulously. Who even said things like that?

X+X+X

The Gryffindor bathroom was haunted. This was very likely why no one came in it, Kagome thought, staring up at the ghost floating in front of her.

“You must be the Hufflepuffs,” the ghost whispered, eyeing her and Jinenji in turn. He was a squat little thing, a toad demon with massive eyes and a permanent frown. While non-corporeal and clearly transparent, the ghost still took off the hat on his head and scratched, assessing them. “You shouldn’t be here,” the ghost warned.

“Leave them be, Jaken! You’re never supposed to be in here anyways, and yet.” It sounded like the Gryffindor girl Kagome had caught hanging around her in the hall earlier that day, right after the disastrous Potions class with Professor Naraku. Kagome wasn’t the suspicious kind, but she had noticed the way the girl had stopped and fiddled with her bag for an overly long time, those violet eyes looking up every once and a while like Kagome wouldn’t notice.

Well, she had. Kagome didn’t mind that she was being listened to, but wouldn’t it have been so much easier if the Gryffindor had just…come to her outright and asked?

Suddenly, Shiori poked her head around the corner and flashed them a smile. “This way! There’s enough room by the stalls for us all to sit.” She eyed Jinenji as she said it, only a brief glance, but Kagome was grateful that the two of them had at least considered her friend’s bulk. Jinenji was too kind-hearted to ever complain and it drove Kagome nuts every once and a while.

A cauldron sat in the middle with numerous jars and bags surrounding it. Seated on the far side was Inuyasha, glowering at it. Kagome tried for a smile, sitting down beside him. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out so Professor Naraku can’t pick on you.”

Inuyasha blinked at her, looking confused for all of a moment before his nose scrunched up. “Pretty sure we could get perfect on this and he would still pick on me.”

“He is, after all, the reason we were even assigned this horrible homework,” Shiori grumbled, sitting across from Kagome. She elbowed Inuyasha and shot him a sympathetic glance. “In fairness, Naraku was being a huge jerk.”

“Whatever,” Inuyasha grumbled, and Kagome watched as he peeked at her quickly before returning his glower to the cauldron. “Let’s just get this over with. If we miss curfew and I get caught again, I’m fucked.”

“We wouldn’t want that,” Kagome agreed.

“I can read out the ingredients,” Shiori offered then, holding the book. “Inuyasha can do the cutting—”

“Actually,” Kagome interjected, smiling to soften the blow of her interruption. “Jinenji is the best with preparing the ingredients. He’s saved so many of our potions I can’t even keep count.”

Inuyasha shrugged, looking like he didn’t particularly care. Jinenji, as expected, turned red at the praise, big hands fidgeting with each other. Kagome knew this would make him the most comfortable though, and pushed over the various ingredients already collected. “That’s fine with me.”

“We can work on the potion itself,” she said, reaching out to get Inuyasha’s attention back. He startled again and Kagome felt helpless but to do anything other than smile reassuringly. “What’s first?”

Shiori gave Jinenji the proper instructions for the ingredients. Some things were quite simple, like pouring in a certain amount of the powdered porcupine quills, but other ingredients required some finessing. Kagome was pleased when Inuyasha and Shiori watched, entranced, as Jinenji deftly prepared the aconite flowers, big hands somehow managing to cut up the petals while only touching the safe stems. He gave Kagome the tiny board he had brought filled with the sliced petals, prepared as always, and Kagome carefully held it over the cauldron while Inuyasha transferred them into the mixture.

They let it heat for a minute, the four of them quietly watching the ingredients mix together. Jinenji, smart as always, started to crush a few of the remaining herbs using a pestle.

Inuyasha tapped on the floor of the bathroom, golden eyes seeking Kagome’s the moment time was up. “Now what?”

Shiori, leading them all, was the one to answer. “The effectiveness of the poison is determined by the length of brew. Great Potions tells us what the consistency is supposed to be, so I think as long as we record it on our scrolls, we’ll just have to hope that by tomorrow morning we’ll have the right result. I can bottle it up first thing, one for each of us to deliver in class.”

“Here’s the last of it,” Jinenji interrupted softly, offering what was in the pestle.

Kagome took it and just like their usual routine, Inuyasha made sure it carefully was put in. She nudged gently at his knee, gesturing towards her own wand. “You do the honours and then I’ll stir?”

The Gryffindor blinked at her for a moment before shrugging, grabbing his wand. Inuyasha waved it above the cauldron, and the deep purple mixture bubbled into a dark blue.

“That’s it,” Shiori exclaimed, excited. “Matches the book exactly.”

“Thank god,” Inuyasha groaned, making Kagome laugh. She double-checked with Shiori before putting in the long spoon and stirring seven times exactly, watching the blue liquid swirl around. It was bubbling quite rapidly, despite the low heat, and when she removed the spoon there was a tiny burst of it, popping out of the cauldron and landing right on the chest of Inuyasha’s clothes.

For a long moment, the four of them were silent, staring in disbelief.

“The itching poison—” Jinenji started, but was cut off immediately by Inuyasha’s heavy sigh.

“Why does this always happen to me?” he grumbled, undoing the tie of his outer robe. The problem was that the blue liquid could clearly be seen on the shirt underneath, closest to his skin. The itching poison was supposed to be quite horrible and she really didn’t want to have to take them down to St. Mungo’s.

“Hurry,” Kagome insisted, getting worried. If Jinenji had started to bring up the itching poison, it could only mean that things would go bad quickly.

The Gryffindor scowled at her. “I am hurrying!”

“No, not—” And then Kagome was forcing her way in front of him, pushing at his robe before grabbing onto the buttons of his shirt underneath. “If this touches your skin, you’ll be itching for a month, at least, and you’ll never be able to make it through class tomorrow—”

“I have it!” Inuyasha argued, even as Shiori tugged the robe from behind him. “It’s fine, it won’t—” But then he got somehow impossibly tangled. Shiori wasn’t letting go, pulling even harder, and Inuyasha flailed backwards.

“Oof!” Kagome, her hands on his shirt still, was dragged down with him. It was an ungainly sprawl with Kagome embarrassingly ending up straddled above his prone form, lying on the ground.

She stared at him for a second, horrified, while Inuyasha looked at her with something akin to fear.

And then she saw the blue liquid on the collar, having moved from the fall, and it was so close to his skin. “Off!” she yelled, tugging furiously.

“You’re not undressing me!” Inuyasha shouted back, even though he, too, was trying to avoid the poison.

“You have to!”

“No!”

“Inuyasha!”

“Kagome!”

“Inuyasha!”

X+X+X

Behind them, Shiori crawled over until she was side-by-side with Jinenji. She stared up at him with big violet eyes, trying and failing to suppress her smile. “Should we tell them?”

Jinenji sighed but he looked just as amused as she was. “That the effectiveness of the itching poison doesn’t begin until at least an hour of brewing?”

“Yeah.” Shiori nodded and then stared at Inuyasha and Kagome, yelling at each other and somehow both trying to accomplish the same task. “That.”

“I already tried.” Jinenji shrugged. “It’s not like they can actually get hurt.”

But just as he had spoken, Kagome had finally managed to successfully tug at Inuyasha’s shirt, hauling him up into a sitting position and whipping off the material from the side. They both twisted, and Shiori could only watch, like a train about to crash, as Inuyasha’s and Kagome’s faces collided.

To call it a kiss would have been excessive. Both turned extremely red anyways.

“What are you doing?” Inuyasha yelled.

“Me? What about you? Why would you lean so far forward?!”

“It was that or you were going to dislocate my shoulder!”

“No, I wouldn’t have,” Kagome argued.

Shiori nudged Jinenji, even though her elbow barely made it past his huge legs. “If you and I are going to have to watch this play out for the next four years, we better get an Outstanding on this stupid assignment.”

The giant Hufflepuff smiled down at her. “I’m sure we will.”

Yashahime - Ep. 9 - Thoughts

I’m holding out until about Episode 14 or, at least, that’s the plan. But this episode made me wonder if I can really hold out that long, lol. The only thing that was slightly refreshing about this episode was the fact that Konton, the Peril introduced in this episode, wasn’t killed off right away. Anyway, I can’t really say I have many good things to say about this episode. I’m not surprised by this, I expected this episode to be pretty dead in the water, and it was. The thing that is constantly in the back of my head when I watch this show is: how many episodes will it be? Because the pacing indicates a long runner, but it’s an anime original series, and those are never long runners (of the 100+ episode type). Those rarely get more than one season, most are one season anime. Would Yashahime be a series that would likely get more than one season? Yes, and the pacing is fitting that format, but until we know for certain, then I’m just looking at episodes like these and can’t get the issue of pacing out of my head. The other issue is forced narratives, both pacing and forced narratives were at the forefront of my issues with this episode.

Pacing-wise, there is the overall pacing issue. We finally see more depth being added to Moroha’s character (for a brief moment) even though it’s been 9 episodes since her introduction and there has been no good, proper build up of this character depth before this (a lot of fans assumed that she had more depth/was hiding things, but that is only because of Inuyasha and how he was as a character). The actual series never really implied this until this episode.

We also, finally, get the first bit of acknowledgement that the girls are, in fact, cousins/related to each other. This is something that should have been actually, properly acknowledged by the characters in series before this episode.

Meanwhile, in this episode, a whole lot of nothing really happened. Even the moment with Myoga with the rouge resulted in...nothing. Legit, it’s just him saying “Don’t forget this!” to Moroha. While I’m not surprised by this, and I’m not invested in the rouge or the history behind it, etc. the way they used that image as a promo pic just goes to further show how they are using images to kind of mislead the audience. It’s done all the time in marketing, and we’ve seen them do this before with previous episodes. It’s most definitely a trend, they are going to do it in the future, so just don’t expect anything out of an episode.

The pacing for the episode itself consisted of interpersonal issues with the girls, which was good, but Konton’s introduction as a Peril was underwhelming, not in the sense of power (I don’t really care too much about the fighting/battles), but more so in the sense of...why was he doing what he was doing? Why did he destroy that temple? For the scenery? Really? That’s it? It’s just so lacking.

So we got a nothing story with him and the introduction of Meifuku and his backstory didn’t really pull at the heartstrings, even though they had this moment take place in the middle of battle (don’t get me started on the awful battle shonen trope of characters having heartfelt conversations in the middle of battle, this is an issue that extends beyond just Yashahime, lol) :

And we were supposed to feel some sort of emotional connection to the situation. But the backstory was just too barebones.

It also lacked any connection to the Hades Beast that was shown in the Inuyasha chapters, so it really does just make me wonder why the Official Twitter page is indicating that fans should brush up on that storyline, since it doesn’t actually play any role in understanding the story being told in this week’s episode.

At least next week we are getting a character that actually knows and has met Sesshomaru before (and wants revenge). I’m not holding my breath on us getting any good info next week though, lol. I just don’t trust this series to actually follow through on stuff like this. They’ve done too much teasing and not enough follow through with actual information and answers, so I’m not trusting anything at this point.

Anyway, about the whole “forced narrative,” yeah, there was a lot of that this episode. Specifically this moment:

There has been a lot of great posts already talking about the issue of all three girls having different goals and how they are all on different wave lengths when it comes to those goals, which makes creating a cohesive and naturally flowing narrative hard, if not impossible, to do. We see that issue happening very clearly above, which results in this very forced narrative to get the girls all on the same path and page for a few episodes, at least (even though Setsuna really doesn’t care about the bounty hunting or the Dream Butterfly stuff).

I had issues with the forced narration of the series since episode 2 (the whole sequence with the yanki-wannabe boys going from dudes who like to pick a bit of a fight to dudes literally threatening the life of a family just so everyone could be near the Sacred Tree when Setsuna and Moroha arrive), so this has been an ongoing issue with the series and the girls having three separate goals doesn’t help. We are also nearing the half-way point of the season (and possibly series) and Hisui still isn’t traveling with the girls, and both him and Kohaku have barely been involved in any of the story.

I think the only thing I liked about this episode was Meifuku’s cute design.

Outside of that, the fact that we see a deceased demon still being able to communicate/have a some kind of spirit, as seen above with the Hades Beast and his son. That is intriguing for some possible theories, but likely doesn’t really mean anything in the end. We’re half-way through this season and still have barely any answers or any concrete foundation for this series as a whole. Things still feel like they are happening just because and that’s...not good. I’m going to try and hold out until Episode 14, but at this point I’m barely going to make it to Episode 12.

So I was very wrong about the beast not being Tōtetsu. He is definitely a Sesshomaru representation as well and fits the peril patterns almost perfectly. And his mythology representation is some huge hinting for Kagura being his wife.

He looks furry and that's what threw me off. I really should have known better. Sunrise would not be so obvious as to use feathers to make him look birdlike.

Tōtetsu is a representation and combination of a tengu and Garuda, a birdlike deity. The two beings are thought to be parallels and often conflated. Here's some pics to compare.

The tengu is a bird creature but his name means heavenly dog. Both tengu and Garuda have associations with temple/shrine gaurdian statues as did the other perils.

And both tengu/Garuda are enemies with Nagas. Remember Joka and her seemingly pointless line about Sesshomaru that went nowhere?

Anywho, some of you may remember I said Konton's fu dogs were doing double duty of representing mostly InuKag but also Sesskagu. Sunrise mixed up some of the Wuxing associations to make the female a representation of the Japanese god of wind.

The same situation is going on here. Tōtetsu is a representation of both Sesshomaru and Kohaku. For a while, and especially since I discovered the theater connection, I have been wondering if the scar on Kohaku's nose was there as a call out to a tengu. Tengu depictions have a very long nose to represent a beak when they are portrayed with more human like features. That would stick out with the animation style so I think they used a scar to call attention to Kohaku's nose. Plus, it would be weird if Kohaku suddenly had a big nose. I also think it's a double representation because of my yukionna/orange pearl theories which I went into in my last post about Tōtetsu.

At any rate, I think Tōtetsu has multiple beast forms as he still looks nothing like the beast in the Myoga flashback. Perhaps another version of him will have the Wuxing blue/silver color associations that he currently lacks.

I will go more into the Sesshomaru/Tōtetsu connection and related folklore when I update my Perils/Parents theory.

Anyway, the connection to Kagura...

The tengu is strongly connected to Sarutahiko Ōkami. Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto (Uzume) is his wife. Uzume is the Japanese goddess of the dawn and is most famous for luring Amaterasu out of a cave.

Notice the last line. Yeah...

This is actually the fifth trail of clues that have led me to Uzume. Three of them were completely unconnected to her husband. With so many paths leading to her directly and indirectly, I will be shocked if there isn't a character based on her.

She was the *spectacular" goddess I hinted at but was reluctant to mention. It's very hard to "divorce" Uzume from the invention of the kagura. In fact most depictions of her are of her doing this dance. Furthermore, a lot of art has her dressed like a miko often with a color scheme that is close to Towa's.

The miko part is interesting to me because of all the hinting towards mikos that has made people think the mom is Kagome or Kikyo. That, plus significant long term hinting at Bixia Yuabjin, who is also a dawn goddess, makes me think the two goddesses will be combined into a single character and will be the closest to Kagura's true form. And with my parents are playing the villians theory, I think she will be the final villian they will have to fight on Mt Musubi, which I think is a stand in for Mt Tai.

Due to additional clues, when we meet this goddess/villian, I predict she will be dressed like a a ridiculously sexy miko.

I will go back and tag related posts to this theory as #toteuzume for anyone unfamiliar my various theories and wanting more info. All the above probably seems like nonsense to y'all.

This episode was..pretty okay

Yashahime Ep 11 thoughts:

To preface:

I honestly think I'm being a little harder on this episode than I should be. Because overall I though it was fine.

Although I am a fan of the series, and don't agree with some of the Fandom's rage. I will say that the last 3 weeks being 90% filler content was too much. That being said atleast each ep seems to have taught us something that may be plot relevant later. And atleast it seems like we're in for atleast 3 hype weeks coming up!

Heres my Opinions:

Okay the twins ditched Moroha again...FUCKING STOP DOING THAT!

The writers the last few weeks have really shit on Moroha. The twins seem to have made a 180 on how they feel about her. She also is disabled right away in every battle. (Writers, If you didnt want fans to focus AT ALL on Moroha, why did you make her a member of the main cast?)

The twins having opposite immunity (to venom and poisin) better be relevent later on. Otherwise what was the point of it. I was so ready for the reason Towa was immune to the poison being that she has freaking vaccines. 🤣

I like that we saw Towa shake off the water like a dog. Not only because it was cute and funny , but because they dont seem to have ANY INU TRAITS AT ALL. Which is very odd. Yeah hanyo traits are random in a lot of ways. But its been made pretty clear that their bloodline has strong traits. Inuyasha had physical and mental dog traits. He also looked very related to both his mother, father and even his brother. Unlike Jinenji, who didnt resemble either parent, Inuyasha's traits appeared very genetic ... now that doesn't mean the twins need to look like him, but they also physically resemble their parents. So why are they basically just human looking individuals who happen to have some demon skills? This is especially true for Setsuna. THE DEMON SLAYERS DIDNT EVEN KNOW SHE WAS HALF DEMON! lol... SO 😆 THIS WAS SUPPOSEDTO BE A POSITIVE NOTE LOL, I was just glad we saw something along those lines.

Myoga is worse now than he was in the original.

What made Kohaku bring up the pond? Towa seemed shocked it correlated to where they were, and what Moroha was saying. So it doesn't seem like they asked him about it. Seems like he brought up a pond thats been cursed for like 30 years today...kuz PLOT

The siblings plot point was not as annoying as last weeks. We didn't have Towa being dramatic and acting like she didn't know other people had siblings and is shocked and compelled to help because she now feels a deep connection with people who also have siblings! lmao (I'm being dramatic now)

Did that pond get way larger after it was purified or is it just me? Lol

The high five moment was fantastic . Sweet and in character!

Setsuna saying "Moroha you better dodge this" was actually a really great thing Imo. I found myself saying "Why the hell wouldn't you tell her to move lol" but it really reminded me of something Sesshomaru would do. With her having a similar personality to him it made sence. Because she does actually care , but won't say it and trusts Moroha enough to have faith she'll move. That one line tells us that.

Because of this I'm hoping that her switch in opinion of Moroha is plot related based on her personality, like a fear of getting close to others or something. I could buy that if its played right. Early on it seemed Setsuna and Moroha really took to eachother, more than Towa. I liked that because of their thematic ties to inu and sessh. I figured Towa would grow to fit better , and her difficulty was only because of the era she was raised in. But now it seems Setsuna just tolerates Towa and doesn't care for Moroha. Towa could give or take Moroha and just follows Setsuna like a lost dog. And Moroha loves everyone because she's a good bean. (I dont have huge hopes it'll be relevant, but some. Because I found the switch very annoying)

Lastly, this is with the series overall- can they please stop with the cards telling us who each character is EVERY WEEK. 🤣 If you dont know by now thats an issue haha

In Conclusion:

It seems that I really didn't care for this episode. However, over all the writing was good and the animation was fine. It was just another week of filler-ey content and thats disappointing.

Many people don't want a season 2 of Yashahime, but I do. Based on the amount of filler so far, I expect more. So I really hope they plan to give us a season 2 , since they seem to think they have a lot of time.

I'm really looking forward to next week though! I haven't felt that way since episode 8, so I'm happy about that!🥳💙

For now, let's keep our patience people, hopefully good things are coming!🤗

Right, right, can’t spend all of my free time goofing off. Need to spend a bit of it complaining about a show most people don’t care about. Yashahime time.

Barfing up your skeleton seems like a pretty painful way to go.

I know I complained about repeated character captions, and yeah those are still present, but now we’re getting ones for new characters that give information we have no context for, making them completely useless. Sure, introducing a monster of the week isn’t a bad idea in theory, but an intro like “Bob, son of Jeff” does not mean anything if we’ve never heard of Jeff before either. Likewise, telling us some other character is one of the Four Perils is useless if it’s the first time I’ve heard of this quirky mini-boss squad besides for telling me there’s a quirky mini-boss squad. And even then there’s far better ways of going about that.

Kohaku continues to be the Slayers’ “keeper of the brain cell”.

And Kirara continues to be the best character in the series by virtue of KITTY!

So the reason for this episode is Moroha failed to finish a job. And they’re getting the team back together by having them coincidentally after the same target. Look, I get that not everyone has a reason to form an adventuring party, but it doesn’t quite gel if you provide a reason, have them reject it, and then have to try and come up with others.

OK, so bone boy is the son of one of the quirky mini-boss squad. Who was killed off-screen during the time skip by just one of the three heroes. And we still have no actual clue about who the Four Perils are. Honestly, not feeling the Peril here.

And Myoga finally offers us an explanation for the Four Perils. They are in fact... a quirky mini-boss squad. Um, at least we’ve established that they serve the one the Tree of Ages has identified as the villain? Yeah still not feeling the Peril here.

Ah geez, he’s using blood skeletons for minions. Mooks that refuse to stay dead are so annoying... Hey, Tokotsu! Drac called! He wants his stuff back!

Towa tries diplomacy! Nobody cares!

Moroha’s power up is fighting like early-series Inuyasha for one minute before passing out? That’s one of the stupidest power ups I’ve ever seen! This girl would fit right in with Kazuma’s party! ... I can’t back that one up. Sorry, Moroha.

I don’t know if Setsuna’s line was poorly translated, an intentional example of kids saying something stupid they think is cool, or the writers rolling another nat 1.

Towa really isn’t cut out for adventuring life if she questions killing mass-murdering demons.

And Moroha’s boss figures that as there’s no bodies afterward he doesn’t have to pay her anything. So yeah, he’s officially a scumbag. The kind asking to get killed by failing to pay professional killers. I believe in Ankh-Morpork that’s considered a form of suicide.

So that’s the episode. It introduced a new team, who fail to impress on every level, a new power up, that’s even more unimpressive, and a couple of new characters I already never want to see again but are in the opening credits.

Didn’t take the show long to backslide, did it?

Rewrite Part 3

"Hey, you awake yet?" A strange voice called out to me. This voice sounded kind of annoyed.

"Hey, come on. You dead??" It asked again. I felt my eyes flutter open. I'm not dead! As my eyes came into focus, I saw an outline of man with long hair...and dog ears?! I blinked a very more times, making sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Nope, that guy has dog ears and fangs! I quickly got up and backed away from the new demon.

"Stay away from me!" I'm looking over the demon and right off the bat, I noticed that he looks almost human. Minus the long white hair, dog ears, and golden eyes. He crossed his arms in annoyance as he spoke to me.

"What are you so afraid of? I'm not gonna eat you. Don't run away."

"But you have dog ears and fangs! Don't get near me!" I tried to keep a good distance from him.

"Please, even if I did eat humans, don't you think I would've killed you already?"

"Oh..I guess you're right." Now that he said that, it made sense. Besides why would he check on me to see if I was alive to just kill me again.

"Anyway, that was a great technique you used against that demon. What was it?" He asked.

"Technique? What are you..oh! I was about to die...then that light. I'm not sure but I need some help! Can you tell me where I am? I want to go home."

"Home? Well, you're right in the middle of the way to Kaede's village." He paused and looked over me before speaking again. "Hey, your clothes look like Kagome's. You came from the present, didn't you?"

"My clothes? And what do you mean the present? Are you saying I'm in a different place and time?!" My head was spinning. How could I not only get to an unfamiliar forest, full of demons, but a whole different time period?!!! How am I going to explain this to Dad! Well that explains why my phone doesn't work I guess.

"Hey, you listenin' to me?! If you calm down, I can take you to Kagome. She can explain it better than I can." The demon shouted at me, pulling me out of my internal crisis.

"Kagome? Is she a demon too?"

"What? No, she's a human. Jeez, why do I always find the weird ones? Come on, Kaede's village is not far."

He started to walk away. I guess I don't have any other choice but to follow him and hope that he's telling the truth. I quickly caught up with him and kept checking behind us every other minute, making sure no demons were following us. As we walked on the trail, I took a bit longer to look over this stranger. He was wearing an all red kimono and he wasn't wearing any shoes. Doesn't that hurt? And at his hip, a sword. Judging from the hilt, it was pretty old. He stopped for a moment and put his hand on the hilt suddenly.

"Hey, I think friends of that demon you killed earlier are nearby." He said as he sniffed the air.

"What?! What should I do?"

"What are you talk to my about, we fight. It shouldn't be hard if you just use that light again." He said.

"But, I don't know how to-"

"Get down!" He suddenly pushed me out oh his way and I fell to the forest floor. I turned my head and saw a large wolf standing where I was. And beside it was a large blue bat that was drooling what appeared to be acid or something, because the ground beneath it was practically melting away.

"So, I guess you're ready to die?" He smirked as he pulled out his sword from the scabbard and I gasped as a sword at least three times the size of the scabbard came out. It was a large sword that looked like a fang with fur right at the hilt. I'm sure my mouth was on the ground, agape in awe.

The wolf barked loudly as it lunged at him. I wanted to close my eyes, but before I had the chance, the wolf was sliced in half. My stomach did a flip as the smell of fresh blood was overwhelming.

"What are you doing? Get up!" The stranger barked as he saw me lying on the ground. I quickly got up and as he turned to face the bat, it was already closing it's jaws around his shoulder. The stranger growled and ripped the bat off of his shoulder, tearing some flesh off. I cringed as I saw the bat swallow his flesh and it screeched loudly.

"Damn you. Die!" He swung his sword and practically demolished the bat in one swing. It didn't stand a chance against that massive sword.

The stranger looked around before putting the sword back in the scabbard, and as it was thrust back into it, the blade shrank and fit it perfectly. He pulled something out of his sleeve and popped it into his mouth. He made a face before turning to me.

"Hey, how come you didn't use that light?" He asked.

"I don't know how. And is your shoulder gonna be ok? That bite looks nasty." I asked as I saw the blood seep into his white kosode and already red kimono.

"What? This? It'll be healed before we get to Kaede's."

"Then what did you just take? Was that a pain pill or something?"

"No, it was a pill that negates poison. Kagome says to take one if I get a wound from a poisonous demon. It keeps her off my back." As he spoke the wound closed right before I my eyes.

"Oh wow. It's already healing!" I said as he rolled his shoulder, making it crack slightly.

"See? Told ya. Now, how come you were able to use it before then if you don't know how?" He asked.

"Master Inuyasha, she was so afraid to die, she did it unconsciously." I looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Oh, hey Myoga." He looked over at his left shoulder. I looked in the same spot. And I saw a tiny old man. He was bald and had two big eyes. His nose kinda reminded me of a mosquito's sucker.

"What in the world? How can anyone be that tiny? Is he a demon?" I asked the stranger.

"Yes, I am a flea demon. My name is Myoga, I am Inuyasha's personal caretaker." The little flea said in a proud tone. The stranger named Inuyasha laughed and picked up Myoga with his pointer and thumb.

"Personal caretaker?! How can you say that if you run away at the faintest sign of danger? At best you're my pest and sometimes you have good information." He said as he put the flea up to his face.

"Now that hurts me so, Master Inuyasha." The flea said. "Now, please be careful Master Inuyasha, I sense many more demons around this area. I'm going to go ahead." Somehow, he got out of Inuyasha's grip and scurried away.

"Damn, he ran off again. Well, since you cant fight, stay close and I'll protect you." He said in annoyed tone.

"Thank you, Inuyasha. That's your name, right?" I asked, stepping over the dead wolf corpse.

"Yeah, that's my name. What's yours?"

"My name is Mizuki Kururugi."

"Well, come on. It's not too much farther from Kaede's." He started walked forth on the path and I followed close behind.

After what seemed about 20 minutes, we finally reach what I can assume is Kaede's village. When we walked up, I first saw a horse and a man leading it. I couldn't believe it. I've only seen horses in comics and books.

"A horse..?" I asked aloud.

"You can't be afraid of a dumb horse." Inuyasha said.

"No, I'm not scared, just never seen one in person before. In Tokyo there isn't any horses just trotting around." I explained to him.

"Inuyasha!" I heard a girl's voice call out from the road to our right.

"Oh, Kagome. What's up?" Inuyasha asked as a young girl about 15 years old came up in a green and white sailors uniform. Her hair was black and just passed her shoulders. Her blue eyes went well with her hair.

"Where have you been? There was some demons outside the village and could've used your help." She stated.

"Well, I originally left cuz I was bored, but I ran into someone that could you could help." Inuyasha gestured over at me and the girl named Kagome looked over me and gasped quietly.

"Oh wow. Who are you?" She asked. "Were you hurt at all?"

"No, I'm fine. Your friend kept me safe. But I have so many questions. Where are we? Is this Japan? He asked me if I was from the present and I don't know what he means by that! There's demons, weird people, and even horses. My cell phone doesn't work and I really just want to go home. Can you please help me??" I asked in a spit fire manner.

"Ok, first of all I need you to calm down and breathe. I know this a lot for you, but please relax. Ok, this is still Japan, but it's not the present day. This is the Feudal Era." Kagome explained.

"What?! You mean we're back when Nobunaga Oda was alive and when guns first came to Japan??? But how is that possible? I was in the storage shed grabbing something for my dad and I fell through the floor and now I'm here??"

"Hm, that's a good question. But I don't really have an answer for you." Kagome said.

"Then how'd you get here? Are you stuck here???" I asked, now becoming concerned about her sake.

"What? No, I'm not stuck here. I can travel to and from the present through a well on my shrine's property. I'm Kagome Higurashi." She introduced herself.

"Oh, my name is Mizuki Kururugi. I also live at a shrine." I held my hand out for a handshake. Kagome smiled and shook my hand gently. "Nice to meet you."

You said “OC likes to pet soft fur,” and my mind immediately went to Sesshomaru’s huge floofy thing. I have to ask... how did that encounter go? They probably didn’t actually try to approach him, but were they noticeably distracted by the fluff? Did they later speculate at length about how soft it must be to Inuyasha?

(okay, disclaimer, i’m going to start calling si/oc kagome “kagami” to distinguish them from canon kagome!)

the first encounter with sesshomaru in canon genuinely goes like:

sesshomaru hires a mu-onna to fly across the sky in a chariot wearing the guise of inuyasha’s dead mother.

a large yokai comes out of nowhere to crush the chariot in its claws.

sesshomaru, emerging from the fog onto the yokai’s arm: jaken, we’ll talk first and kill later.

inuyasha: ?!??! sesshomaru?!

sesshomaru talks shit for a few minutes about how fitting it is to find inuyasha, a hanyou, in the company of a vile creature like a human, and finishes it with, “you have brought disgrace onto our family.” and then he has the audacity to be like: “anyway i wanted to know where our dad’s tomb is.”

when inuyasha is like i don’t know? why would i know??? can you stop using my dead mom’s face to freak me out because that’s a fucking dick move???, sesshomaru is like “but inuyasha, that is your mother! i brought her all the way back from the dead for you!”

SIKE. that’s a mu-onna and she half-absorbs inuyasha’s body into her own just to parse through his memories to see where their dad’s tomb is

sesshomaru rips out a black pearl from inuyasha’s eye and opens up a portal with it. the portal leads to the tomb. which houses a Giant Dog Skeleton and Many, Smaller Skeletons and inuyasha’s version of excalibur, stuck into the Many, Smaller Skeletons and unable to be pulled out except by the worthy

or, in this case, by a human, because tetsusaiga was created to protect inuyasha’s human mother

sesshomaru tries to kill inuyasha. inuyasha tries to kill sesshomaru. sesshomaru tries to kill kagome. inuyasha tries harder to kill sesshomaru. sesshomaru turns into a huge dog. inuyasha promises to protect kagome and subsequently unlocks tetsusaiga’s Special Power and turns it into a giant dog fang. sesshomaru escapes with his physical body and pride wounded

so on one hand: this is an encounter fraught with danger and menace. on the other hand, his mokomoko-sama is so long and fluffy? how are you supposed to ignore it????

(i literally thought it was his tail. but it ISN’T? IT’S DETACHABLE? HE CAN TAKE IT OFF???)

during sesshomaru’s initial “what’s up, i’m an asshole” tirade, kagami stares very hard at the fur. half of their thoughts are wow what a fucking asshole but the other half is i want to shove my face into that fur. so. badly.

later, in the Giant Dog Skeleton Tomb:

myoga, the flea demon: draw out the sword, inuyasha! it must be that sesshomaru couldn’t do it!

sesshomaru, incredulously: are you suggesting that inuyasha can?

myoga: of course! the fact that the tomb was entrusted to inuyasha is proof enough!

inuyasha: i’m not interested in some worn-out old sword!!!

kagami, clambering over wood and bone: INUYASHA WAIT WAIT WAIT

inuyasha: WHAT?!!

kagami: MAKE A BET WITH SESSHOMARU THAT IF YOU CAN PULL OUT THE SWORD HE HAS TO GIVE ME HIS FLUFFY THING

inuyasha: are you fucking serious right now

kagami: PLEASE!!!!!!!!

sesshomaru, annoyed: of course a human would covet something not their own. what would i gain from such an exchange?

inuyasha: what would i be gaining from it? i don’t want a shitty sword!

myoga: inuyasha that was left to you by your father!!!

inuyasha: So???

myoga: ?!?!?! why wouldn’t you want it?!!?!

kagami: the shitty sword has the power to make itself not-shitty! and you’d gain sesshomaru’s humiliation at being denied something that he thinks is his birthright! and you’d gain MY ENDURING ADORATION FOR WINNING ME THE FLUFFY THING

inuyasha: *makes a face* keep your adoration. i just want sesshomaru’s humiliation.

the more i type this the more i’m like “i want SO BADLY for this to work out” but ultimately i doubt that inuyasha has anything that sesshomaru would deem equivalent to his mokomoko-sama, so this encounter ends with it still in his grasp

inuyasha turns to kagami and goes “why the fuck did you want his fur so badly.”

kagami looks back at him and is like “it’s. so. fluffy. and soft-looking. i want to bury myself in it.”

and that is the moment that inuyasha registers fully that he is going to have so much trouble keeping kagami alive

#keg asks #anonymous #kagverse #inuyasha sits on his brooding branch later and is like . how am i going to handle this in the future.#after shippo joins them hes probably just like 'okay can you please just ASCERTAIN that theyre not HOSTILE before you go for the fur'#'the kid stole the shards from you and youre just brushing his fur'#kagami is like 'i've always wanted to pet a fox'#inuyasha throws his hands into the air and is like 'IM TRYING TO KEEP U ALIVE!!!! STOP MAKING MY JOB HARDER!!!!'#also THANK U for sending an ask to me!!!! i love talking abt my stuff!!! i appreciate any and all interest!!! <3 <3

The hanyou and The swordsmith

Thi is the prologue/first chapter of a story that I have been wanting to write for too long.

This is also a bday, house-warming and Christmas gift for our precious @mustardyellowsunshine!!! I love you girl

Summary:

Inuyasha is searching the land for someone that can fix his sword, Tessaiga, but there is no one that dares to work with such a powerful weapon. Then he hears about a hermit swordsmith that is rumored to have increadible powers. But things are not as easy as he thinks.

Also in ff.net and AO3

Pairing: Inukag.

….

Chapter. 1

The wind played with the grass around her feet. The plants swayed softly and the smell of her beloved forest was all around her.

A small, secret smile appeared on her face as she looked at her beloved trees. This was her home. It had been for little time now. A peaceful place where she could live surrounded by life and away from destruction. A place where no human would search for her. And place where no youkai could feel her presence.

As she saw a small fox youkai walked to her, she corrected, where no undesired youkai could feel her.

“Kagome! What are you doing around here?”

She only smiled under the preoccupied eyes of the boy. “Hello, Shippou.”

He stopped his walk towards her enough to give her a small bow. Something his late mother had been very strict about.

“This is too close to the edge of your barrier! What if someone senses you?” he asked as he jumped on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, I’m still safe here.” she explained as she stroked his fluffy red hair.

Leaning on her touch, the boy nodded.

“I just feel a little restless… and needed a little walk.”

Something trickled her hand. Looking down she found a small deer rubbing its head against it.

“Something bad is going to happen?” asked the kid on her shoulder with a careful voice.

She let her fingers travel across the soft auburn fur as she tried to explain what she was feeling. Her few friends knew she had strange abilities, and one of them was to feel when something was about to happen.

Usually, she was sure whether it was something good or something to be afraid of, sometimes she even knew if it meant she needed to run away. Unfortunately the last one, she had learned to identify too late.

Kagome shook her head trying to cast away the memories that always threatened to break her and focused on the matter at hand. Stroking the beautiful deer in front of her and calming the child on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry too much, Shippou. I feel something is coming but it’s not entirely bad…”

“Are you sure it’s not a bad monster coming?”

Shippou’s voice was calm but she could feel his tail flickering nervously.

“I’m sure. That is why I’m taking a stroll and not running away”

Her joke was not well received and Shippou only grumbled something close to an agreement but not quite there.

The deer walked away after receiving the attention he wanted and Kagome started to walk again, moving the kid to her arms.

“We are going to be fine, Shippou…” she looked down to find Shippou’s big green eyes looking at her expectantly. “This feeling is a lot like the one I had before meeting you.”

The worry in his eyes disappeared, giving way to one of his time stopping glowing smiles, “you felt you were going to meet me?”

She nodded answering his smile. “I know there was a mischievous and adorable ball of fur coming my way”.

She did not mention how she had also felt she needed to protect the boy because he was about to be hurt. There was something the little boy didn’t need to know.

They kept walking together as she checked her barrier, the only thing that kept everyone with bad intentions and rotten hearts away from this safe place she tried to create.

The place where she could live as normally as she could, a place where nobody asked her to create powerful things to hurt others. A place where creatures like Shippou, that had lost their families could live without fearing for their lives. A place where everything in it was respected and loved, where every tree, every animal, every creature, even the very energy of the water that run through the river was respected and protected. It was the only place she felt safe.

The only place she could call home.

In a place not so far away but very different, a silver haired man stomped his way out of the fourth sword smith’s home he had visited during the last moon.

It was also the fourth time that someone had told him that repairing his sword was impossible. That there were no smiths that dared to work with an object with that kind of power imbued in it. They also told them he needed a youkai to work with it. The problem was that youkai refused to work for him.

The only one that had ever repaired his sword had been Totosai, his father’s loyal friend. Unfortunately the old fart had died recently without leaving a disciple that could continue his job.

With his mixed heritage there was no way that a ‘respectable’ youkai would agree to help him. According to them, hanyous were only fit to starve and die, not to hold the kind of weapon he was trying to repair.

That meant that humans were all he had, but humans were dumb and weak, with no power of their own to shape and work with metal filled with youki.

He knew they could die, the first smith he had gone to had laughed and declared he was the best smith in the land and no sword would ever rebel against him. It only took one hit of the hammer, for the remaining pieces of his Tessaiga to protect itself sending a wave of youki, and for the man to drop dead in an instant.

Since then, he had been looking for a smith that admitted to have powers of their own, so far none of the ones that had been regarded powerful or skillful smiths had actually showed reiki.

Even if they didn’t have any powers, they had all declined working on his sword before he could explain the situation. With a hint of amusement he admitted that humans had pretty good survival instincts and deep down he was glad, there was no need to bury a new body uselessly.

He was outside of the town and finally no one was watching him with eyes full of hate or fear when he felt a familiar bite on the tip of his nose. After slapping it off, Inuyasha waited for the usual explanation, that was almost Instantaneous.

“Master Inuyasha, I found you at last.” the small flea youkai said from the palm of its master’s hand.

Inuyasha scoffed, “Oh, I know Iwas difficult to find after you ran from me when Tessaiga broke”.

The tiny man fidgeted under Inuyasha’s eyes. “It wasn’t like that, I swear… I just—wasn’t like I was running away… I just went to find someone that could help your situation!” the proud smile on his face didn’t manage to change the narrowed eyes or the arched brows on Inuyasha’s face.

“It’s that so, Myouga?”

The flea nodded energetically. “I found the smith Totosai used to talk about!”

Another scoff came from the hanyou “he used to talk about lots of them, all dead now.”

“But, not this one, Lord Inuyasha. This one is very alive. They say this blacksmith lives in the forest, where no one can find him.”

“You sure he ain’t dead?” his head tilted and continued in a distracted voice, “most of Totosai’s friends are as dead as him.”

“I swear on my life, the smith is very alive.”

Inuyasha let out a satisfied laugh that somehow it felt dark to Myouga. “If he’s alive, I’m gonna find him and he WILL fix Tessaiga…”

Two of Myouga’s hands were shyly raised his two right hands, waiting for his master to pay attention to him. When Inuyasha finally finished his self satisfied laugh and looked down.

“What?” he huffed.

“There’s a little issue…”

“Ain’t there always?”

The old man cleared his throat nervously at the same time he scratched the side of his head “well, you see, Lord Inuyasha, the smith is..” as he continued, his voice started to get lower, smaller “umm, well, just kind of a little impossible to find…”

A growl started to sound inside Inuyasha’s chest. “You said you found him…”

“I know the forest where he is supposed to live. However, no one has seen the smith in a long time. They said youkai are protecting the smith.”

“I’ll kill whoever tries to keep him from me.”

His tone was softer than usual and by the look in his eyes Myouga knew his master’s mind was already battling against the monsters and killing them.

Reaching the forest the smith supposedly lived in, was fast and uncomplicated, even a little too easy. His steps started to become slower and more careful when he felt eyes on him…

His hands began to curl as his body fell into a defensive stance. Something was studying him.

His eyes ran searched for any indication of a presence around them and his ear flicked around trying to find any sound that could help him locate a presence.

Even if he felt watched there was no raise of youki that indicated ill intention. “I know you’re there! Show yourself!”

No sound was made… then he noticed what was making the small hairs in the back of his neck stand… there was no sound. No animal moving, no bird singing, no leaves moving. Everything around them was immobile. Suddenly he became aware of the fast pace of his own heart.

“You are not welcome here. Leave!” A strange, cavernous, voice reverberated around the clearing.

Inuyasha answered with a menacing growl “I ain’t leavin!”

With the same calm and emotionless voice, the voice spoke again “There is nothing for you here, hanyou… leave!”

Before Inuyasha could answer, Myoga jumped to his ear “Master, I think it would be wiser to explain the reason why we’re here… maybe they know where he is.”

After a pause the hanyou gave a short huffed and shouted, “I am not leaving! I’m looking for the swordsmith!”

Something in the air changed, the animosity was instantaneous. “You will never find the swordsmith” said a new voice, an angry one.

Inuyasha readied his claws, ready for an attack that never came.

“I will not let you hurt anyone!” the voice shouted.

Inuyasha’s body started to relax “Who said I wanted to hurt someone?”

Something that looked like a cat youkai, but with a suspiciously fluffy tail appeared in front of him.

“There is no one that need the swordsmith that doesn’t want to create something to hurt others!”

“You are fucking wrong!”

Inuyasha took a step towards the youkai. Immediately a few snake youkai slitheed their way between him and the cat-youkai, ready to attack.

Inuyasha took another step, this time baring his fangs “I’ll find the swordsmith! Even if I have to end you!”

The snakes hissed, and this time Inuyasha felt the raise of youki.

“Why do you need the swordsmith help?” a feminine voice asked so softly that for a moment Inuyasha wondered if he was hearing right.

But when everything around him stopped moving at the sound of the soft voice, he needed, for some strange reason, to answer the question.

“I-I need the swordsmith to fix my father’s sword…”

“And what will you do with the sword if the smith helps you?” said the soft voice again.

Many answers came to Inuyasha’s head. Should he answer something that a youkai would like to hear about fight and destruction of humankind? Should he talk about revenge? Without reaching a conscious decision, his words started to spill out of him. “I’ll use it to defend myself…”

He felt the presence before he saw it. The feeling of delicate calm power filled the clearing. The youkai in front of him turned their heads to the side, his eyes followed the direction and he saw her.

A petite woman, in priestess clothing, walking towards him, her black long flowy hair making a trail behind her.

His eyes were fixed on her, on her serious eyes, not losing contact even when the youkai moved to her side and said something to her. She only shook her head for an answer and kept walking.

When she reached him, her hands came forward. “let me see your sword”. She asked with the same soulful and calm tone.

He found himself handing his sword to her even when a voice inside his head roared in protest.

She received the sword with utmost care and closed her eyes. Her shoulders slumped and a tired shivering sigh escaped her lips.

She opened her eyes and looked at him with so much sorrow that he almost took a step back, but when tears started to fall from those eyes and her stare became a glare, he did took a step back.

“I can’t help you. I won’t let you hurt this sword as you’ve been doing.” she took one step closer, gave him the sword back and turn away. “you should leave this forest… there’s nothing here for you.”

Inuyasha blinked a couple of times as he tried to process what had happened. SHe had been rejected by whoever this people was.

“I won’t leave until I see the swordsmith!” he growled.

The cat youkai that had been following the woman turned to him and with a ‘puff’ he became a small red haired boy with the same fluffy tail. He had a mischievous smile on his face as he declared “She was the swordsmith, moron.”

To be continued…

So this is the first chapter. The idea for this story has been sitting in my “undeveloped ideas” folder for months, easily more than a year. But as soon as I told Robin about it she became its No. 1 fan and it only seemed fair for me to give her this little-little chappie.

I hope you like it, it was a pleasure to write it.

For you that are a little lost on what’s actually happening. This is my AU about Inuyasha finding Kagome, in the same way that he found Kikyou on canon. The universe has many things different, yes, but this is for me the answer of “what would had happened if Kikyou had thought of Inuyasha as equals? if he had been able to see him the way Kagome did… XD hope you like it.

The Celestial Maiden (Teaser)

Note:

Wow, this turned into more of a chapter than a teaser. Aw well, at least it gives a more rounded view of what the story will be like.

I don’t know when I’ll start releasing official chapters but let me know what you guys think so far! This story is still in its infancy so please be gentle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The old woman gave a look of amazement. "What?" Inuyasha snapped. His patience with the situation was starting to burn out fast. "If your damn prophecy says I have no soul mate then you're not shocking anyone, so just spit it out!" The hag chuckled, flashing him a conspiratorial look. "Oh, ye have one alright."

Inuyasha's look shifted to open confusion. "What?" "Ye have a soul mate," she repeated with a pleased tone. "A rare little bird too. I have never seen the like." "That is excellent news, my lord!" Myoga congratulated with a series of cheerful hops from his master's shoulder. "And... You're sure?" the half-demon asked, his golden eyes narrowing suspiciously. "There is no mistaking it," she told him with convincing authority. "That girl's fate is bound to thine's quite strongly." Inuyasha flashed the scrying mirror a sharp look but said nothing of his true feelings on the witch's words. "And?" he asked grudgingly. "And young pup, it will not be so easy to catch your little bird as anticipated." His eyes hardened a little. "Why not?" "Because she is a celestial maiden," the hag replied almost gleefully. The half-demon's expression shifted to extreme disbelief but he still said nothing. To be honest he wasn't sure WHAT to say to such an absurd statement. And he HAD to say statement because he couldn't say she was outright lying. The subtle scent of deception was hard to miss in a lie THIS big. And yet it was not there.

"We will need to cast a powerful spell in order to bring her here to our world," the croan continued, looking back down into her scrying bowl excitedly. "I don't know magic like that," he informed the hag coldly. Honestly, If she wasn't LYING then at the very least he was really beginning to wonder about her sanity. Myoga's recommendation or not. The flea had been wrong before... "Worry not, worry not I shall lend ye my assistance. Thine involvement shall be relatively small." The hag turned from the bowl and began sorting through her bottles and bags on the shelf behind her, searching for what looked like ingredients. "It should take a week for me to have the essentials ready. So I advise ye to find a safe hidden place to keep the pretty little bird once she does arrive." Despite Inuyasha's reservations on the old woman's sanity, his heart skipped a little at the thought of such preparations. "A den?" Inuyasha asked. "Yes. With a place to sleep and bathe, she will doubtlessly appreciate that." The hag took on a teasing expression. "I would do some hunting as well young lord. Ye will not be too eager to leave thine maiden unattended once she is here."

"How the hell would you know that?" he snapped in return. "Oh lady Sasuki knows dog demons, thine lot are rather predictable." She gave a grin. "It is not unheard of to see one of thine kind bed down with a new mate for a year or longer before being satisfied enough to let her stray, never very far though. Protective creatures dog demons."

Inuyasha blushed and opened his mouth to say something scathing but Myoga interveined. "She is right my lord, your father was that way too." "I'M half HUMAN," he reminded the two of them bitterly. "Maybe I won't wanna "bed down" with some damn wench for a whole damn year." The old woman smiled. "We shall see young lord," she replied. "Ye may change thy mind once ye see her. She Is a rather sweet little thing." "Whatever the hell you say," Inuyasha sneered before looking down at Myoga in contempt.

(---)

'I can't believe I'm goddamn doing this.' Inuyasha scolded himself. 'Am I really so fucking desperate that I'll just go along with some completely unhinged witch for the chance of finding someone?' 'Yes,' whispered a tiny unapologetic thought from his core. 'You're here aren't you?' "My my a celestial maiden! What a challenging match," the old woman crooned happily as she prepared her scrying bowl in the field behind him. Inuyasha sat by himself about 10 feet away from the witch, still prepared to bolt if she did try and pull a fast one on him. Myoga, however, had no qualms in sitting on the hag's shoulder to watch her work. "I'm glad YOU'RE happy about all this," Inuyasha grumbled sulkily. "Art thou not? At last, ye will have a suitable bride. More than suitable I dare say." "Fear not my lord!" piped in Myoga confidently. "Lady Sasuki Is the very best of demon matchmakers, you will not be disappointed!" "Keh," Inuyasha answered, clearly unconvinced.

The old woman chuckled and pulled out a bag to sit beside her scrying bowl. "We are all ready now my lord. Best to take one last look while ye can."

"Last look at what?" he asked warily. "Thine maiden's heavenly garb." "Garb?" Inuyasha practically snarled. 'Damn I feel like an idiot...' The witch cast him a suddenly impatient look. "Foolish thing, look there!" she cried in exasperation, pointing directly upward. "The third brightest in the sky, just above us." Inuyasha sighed and looked up. The sky was a clear cloudless navy blue, lit with thousands of sparkling stars. And at last, what she meant clicked and the foolishness of listening to this hag washed over him anew. "A star?" he asked almost angrily, narrowing in on the one she had pointed out to him, the third brightest. A pure white flicker amongst a sea of tiny lights. "Aye. A star maiden. Never forget what she truly is young lord or how lucky ye are. There are very few so blessed."

He stood and nearly walked away right then and there. This was too much. If anyone ever heard of him falling for a joke this idiotic... But Myoga noticed his lord's movement and jumped to his own feet in protest. "Please Master! Humor us for one more afternoon! The fee has already been paid, we cannot go back now!" "Fee?" Inuyasha asked, looking back with a sharp glint to his eyes. "Thy vassal paid handsomely in gold to find a fitting mate for thee," the hag revealed with a chuckle. "He seemed quite worried for his master's happiness." "Where the hell'd you get gold?" Inuyasha growled. "Totosai and I went in on it together," the old demon explained somewhat apologetically. The dog demon had the good grace to flinch in guilt and annoyance at those words. How very like the old geezers to WORRY about him for no damn reason and end up putting him in such an awkward situation. Or at the very least, how like Myoga to worry so much that he'd drag the old blacksmith into this too.

But one last look at the flea's pleading expression and Inuyasha plopped down again with an angry sigh. "I can't believe you two PAID for something this stupid," he grumbled. "We shall see how good an investment it was very shortly my lord," the witch reminded him, waving a wrinkled hand over the water in her bowl. The liquid lit up, casting a ghostly light about the clearing. She smiled at her apparent success and looked toward Inuyasha's brooding form. "Alright my lord, tis your chance to call her down. Come, speak near the bowl and she will hear thee." Inuyasha begrudgingly got back up and trudged over, eyeing the glowing water as if trying to decide if it was a trap. "What the fuck am I supposed to say?" he asked once he was standing in front of the bowl. To his immense surprise, instead of hearing the witch reply, he heard a soft sweet voice whisper in his ears, "Inuyasha?" The half-demon started and looked around. But no one was there except the old woman and the flea. "Did she sense ye?" the old woman asked expectantly, seeing his surprised expression. "I-I don't know..." he answered, feeling a little out of sorts. He cast one more look around, fully expecting to see someone else there with them. "Try again!" Inuyasha gulped and looked back down into the bowl. But he didn't need to try again. Within seconds she was once more speaking to him. "Inuyasha? You can hear me?" questioned that sweet voice with her own tone of clear surprise. "I... I think so," he answered cautiously.

The maidenly voice made a sound of pleased excitement. "Then please tell me your wish!" she requested eagerly. "My wish?" Inuyasha asked. He looked at the old woman in confusion but she didn't seem to hear the voice's strange request. "Yes, your wish," the voice insisted sweetly. 'You can ask for anything you want. Women, money, respect, a home... Anything. Anything in the world." Somewhere deep inside of himself, Inuyasha felt something painful and longing stir. Vaguely, he remembered a moment as a child sitting alone in a dark forest. 'I wish...' He shook his head, clearing away the long forgotten memory. It was impossible to be distracted from the present moment for too long. He couldn't let himself be distracted if this was real, not when he had already waited so long... "Nod if ye hear her" instructed the witch carefully. Inuyasha obeyed, nodding his head.

"Good, good. Now tell thine songbird to come where ye can see her," the old woman told him gleefully. He nodded again. "Come to me," he told the voice aloud. "let me see you." There was a long surprised pause from her end. "You... You want to see me?" the soft voice asked uncertainly. "Yes," he replied without hesitation. "...But you're not alone," she whispered still softer. Her voice seemed thin, almost gone. "Please let me see you," he insisted quietly, gritting his teeth and hoping that the others wouldn't hear. "Just once." There was a long stretch of quiet. "...Okay," she eventually consented. Although she sounded worried. "She's coming," Inuyasha whispered, pulling away from the light of the scrying bowl. The old woman nodded and quickly marched over, picking up the bag she had placed beside the bowl and opening it to him. "Coat thine hands in this and when she appears grab onto her wrists tight and do not release her till I say. Only then will she be yours."

Inuyasha quickly dove his hands into the bag of what felt like very fine sand. He thoroughly covered his hands in the stuff and pulled them out, revealing a silver dust that sparkled against the moonlight. After a moment’s consideration, he walked a fair distance away from the two old demons and waited, his heart beating fast. He still wasn't sure if he could trust this old hag, but that voice had been more than enough to catch his attention.

Would her face be just as pretty? Would her body? Celestial maidens were rumored to be incredible beauties...

Inuyasha was not disappointed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a light in the forest growing brighter as something approached. Slowly he walked toward it, his heart beat loud in his ears, his palms almost sweaty. And then she appeared, shyly stepping out from behind a tree, watching the old woman uncertainly before turning her attention fully to him. He stood there frozen. She seemed to give off an otherworldly light that brightened the clearing substantially. Her silky night black hair fell to her knees, curling near the ends. Part of it was tied up in an intricate knot at the left side of her head. The exposed skin of her neck and wrists were as pale and unmarked as a porcelain doll’s. Her clothes finer than that of any royalty.

But it was her face that ensnared him. When her bright blue eyes met his gold he saw her uncertain expression melt away to be replaced with a beatific glowing smile. His breath caught in his throat at that look. No woman alive had ever stared up at him like this before. 'And if I don't catch her now no woman ever will again.' The thought stirred him into action and he took a step forward, if slowly. Her smile broadened and she stepped away from the safety of the trees to slowly walk toward him as well. "Inuyasha," she said in her sweet otherworldly voice. He shivered when she said his name that way. Like she already loved him. Her scent caught his nose and he nearly drooled. That soft, sweet, feminine smell sending him reeling.

What if this was all a trick? Or maybe he was going crazy? This girl couldn't possibly exist. Soul mates couldn't exist... Not for half-breeds....

"Inuyasha I came to grant you your wish," she told him eagerly. "My wish?" he whispered back, walking toward her almost in a daze. She nodded serenely, her eyes sparkling in promise. "Any wish you want." She reached out her hands as if to touch the sides of his face with just the tips of her delicate fingers. But at the sight of her hands, he suddenly remembered his job in all this. Inuyasha's own hands shot out, wrapping around her tiny wrists as tight as he dared. The celestial maiden's eyes went wide at the contact. "What?" she gasped in surprise. He took advantage of her shock to pull her up close to him. Already he could feel his hands grow hot everywhere they touched her skin, like a power building between them, binding them. "Then I wish for you," he told her, looking down at her frightened face with determination. She gasped and yanked on her wrists with surprising strength, pulling him with her a few steps. Trying with everything she had to tear herself away from him. He held on tight with a grip like steel. "No!" she cried out desperately. "You have no idea what you're doing! Let go!! Let go of me!" His ears lowered a little at the sound of her pleas, but he knew full well if he let this girl go he would never see her again and he wasn't so willing to give up on having her if she really was destined to become his mate. His hands grew hotter as if he were reaching into a fire. In response, he clenched his jaw. "A little longer yet," the old woman told him coaxingly. "Easy for you to say!" Inuyasha gritted out quietly. Between his scorching hands and this girl's strength, he was having a harder time holding onto her than he had anticipated.

The girl's eyes shot up to the old woman's in livid anger. "What are you making him do to me!?" she demanded, still trying to pull her hands from his. When the old woman did not answer and the girl's expression flickered to fear. She turned that frightened gaze back to look up at her captor.

"Inuyasha please," she begged. Somehow her voice sounded more solid. "Please don't do this, you don't know what you're doing to me!" "Fear not young lord," Interrupted the hag calmly. "Ye are merely binding her to ye. Tis necessary to keep her from slipping back to her world." Tears filled the girl's eyes as she looked up at Inuyasha. He stared back at her, resolute in his conviction. Even if he hadn't been sure about all this less than a half hour ago he damn well wanted her now. "Inuyasha please..!" "You said any wish I wanted right?!" he bit out firmly. "But this isn't right!" she argued pleadingly. Her pull against him grew weaker. Her knees began to buckle. "You're... You're forcing me to... I'll die," she murmured, trembling from head to toe as the light around her grew dim and her voice lost all its ethereal sound. The half demon looked at the hag in alarm. "No sooner than ye will," the old woman reassured Inuyasha evenly. "There's no way on earth to make that girl completely mortal."

The girl's legs buckled beneath her and she stumbled into Inuyasha's chest. She breathed hard against him, her face hidden. "But I- I'm supposed to live for billions of years," she whispered. "Fret not girl, ye will become a star again once thine mate passes."

"Mate?" she asked faintly.

Intense guilt stirred inside Inuyasha at that tiny frightened word.She looked up at him, her eyes betrayed. "I-Inu...yasha..?" she murmured weakly. And then her eyes flickered closed and she went completely limp against his chest. He fell to his knees with her, still holding on tight to her scorching wrists as the heat increased. But he could only clench his jaw tight and silently endure the building pain.

It felt like he was holding molten metal in a demon's forge. like the flesh of his hands should have already been burned away. But still he held on, burying his face in her neck, desperate to remind himself of the reason he was doing this. His nose brushed against her throat and despite the pain, he felt a shiver play down his spine. He could almost imagine biting down right there. Her smell was so tempting... She was so beautiful... He held on until finally the liquid fire that scorched his hands suddenly turned cold and smooth as metal. Inuyasha uttered a breath of relief and relaxed against her, breathing hard.

"Ye may release her now. The binding is done." The half-demon shakily did as bade, releasing her wrists to glance down at his hands. But where he had expected to see blood and almost certainly bone, he found his normal hands completely unmarked by the spell. Now void of every speck of silver dust. Then he looked down at the girl's wrists. On each one was a solid metal ring that hadn't been there before. They looked like silver bracelets. He leaned back a little to examine her. The glow was completely gone now. Her skin and her facial features had remained the same. But her hair only went down her back now and her clothes had lost their lustrous designs, fading into plain solid colors. She almost looked like a normal girl. Quietly Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her back, holding her to his chest. Relief was his first feeling but exhaustion was his second. "Congratulations my lord!" Myoga cheered with big tearful eyes. "She is truly a beauty!" The half-demon ignored the flea in favor of more answers. "Now what?" he asked the old woman wearily. "Is she going to be okay?" "Perfectly fine, perfectly fine," the old woman reassured him easily as she came close. "Ah, look at that, a celestial maiden in the flesh," she cooed, reaching out to touch the unconscious girl's hair. Inuyasha instinctively flinched, pulling the limp girl up in his arms and away from her grasping hands. "Are you sure?" he asked tightly. "You're sure she'll be alright?" The hag seemed slightly disappointed but did not press him. "Aye, she will wake up by sometime tomorrow confused and frightened. But so long as ye treat her with compassion she will accept her new life here and adapt in no time. She is a young thing so it should be a simple matter." She looked the girl over with curiosity. "Her inexperience is likely why she was so easily caught in the first place," she commented.

"You call that easy?" he hissed in annoyance.

The old demoness nodded. "A star with more control would have killed ye in an instant, demon or no." Inuyasha snorted, cradling the girl a little closer regardless. "And how did she know my name?" he asked stiffly. "She acted like she knew me." "Her kind know many things, young lord. Things that humans and demons do not. It is likely that thy name came to her when she first heard thine voice." Inuyasha's glare eased to an exhausted frown and he looked back down at his hard-won prize. Her peaceful expression as she slept both tempted him and filled him with guilt.

What exactly HAD he done?

When I started looking at all of the places I have left to travel to I realized that I haven’t been to the Southern States, and I decided to ease myself into venturing to this new area of the country by visiting one of my best friends in Oklahoma City (OKC). I had already been to OKC before, but that was two years ago, and a lot can change in two years. We figured out that neither of us had been to Austin, TX (ATX), so we decided that I would fly to OKC and then we would road trip down to ATX. I’ve always liked road trips, and then it allows you to hang out with a friend and see new parts of the country.

Day 1 When we first arrived in Austin, we checked into our Airbnb- I think that Airbnb’s are a great way to see a city and interact with local residents. After we settled in we headed over to Uchi, for a delicious sushi dinner. We started off the meal with drinks and for our main course we decided to get the signature tasting option- it is five courses which is a good amount split between two people. This allowed us to try a lot of different things. To start off we tried was the Hirame Usuzukuri, which is flounder with candied quinoa, and olive oil. The second course was the Machi Cure, which is smoked yellowtail, yucca crisp, marcona almond, and Asian pear. For the next course, we had the Maguro & Goat Cheese, which is one of the most unique sushi dishes that I have ever had. Then we had the Hamachi Nabe, which is yellowtail, koshihikari rice, soy broth, and an egg yolk. To conclude our dining experience, we had the Walu Walu which is oak-grilled escolar, yuzupon, candied citrus, and myoga. The food was delicious, well prepared, and truly unique. I think that Uchi has some of the best sushi I have ever had, and the unique dishes makes it worth the price.

After dinner, we went back to our Airbnb to relax and plan for the next day.

Day 2 To start off the day we had a relaxing morning and a quick breakfast and then headed downtown to the Austin Visitors Center. We walked around the center and got to learn more about the city, and then we boarded a bus for the Austin in 90 minutes tour. Some things that you see on the guided bus tour are the 360 Scenic Overlook, Graffiti Park at Castle Hills, Bullock Texas State History Museum, and UT- Austin.

Later on, in the day we had an early dinner and did a Bat Cruise. Fun Fact: The Congress Avenue Bridge is home to the largest urban bat colony in the world. During the Bat cruise you get to experience all of the bats leaving the bridge to go find dinner as the sun sets. It is possibly one of the coolest thing you’ll experience in Austin and I would never have guessed that so many bats could fit under the bridge!

After the cruise we headed to the “Dirty Sixth” or 6th street to go listen to some live music and enjoy a drink. Eventually we wanted a snack so we decided to head to Voodoo Doughnut Austin, and I got a Maple Bacon donut. It was tasty, and I was excited to try Voodoo because it is originally from Portland, OR and I was going there in a few weeks, so it was like a mini preview of Portland.

Day 3 After our long day 2, we decided to sleep in a little and then grab breakfast at Whole Foods. Now I know that sounds funny, but considering that Whole Foods was founded in Austin and the original location has a lot of eateries, so we figured it was a good way to see the store and grab breakfast. I went to Taco Alley and got a breakfast burrito and it was divine.

The next activity for the day was to go on the Deep Eddy Distillery tour. We got the tickets that have the shuttle to and from, so we avoided drinking and driving. The ticket is $25, and it included the round-trip shuttle ride, the tour, a cocktail and 20% off all merchandise. I really enjoyed learning about how they make their vodka and eating and drinking after the tour. They have some food trucks there, so you can get snacks while drinking and I obviously had to get BBQ. It is definitely a fun place to go, and it would be a great place to spend an afternoon with friends.

Once we got back to downtown Austin, we headed to the Roaring Fork for dinner. I got the Cedar Planked Salmon- its oven roasted with Teriyaki BBQ sauce and a Chilled Green Bean Salad. It was the perfect meal after spending a lot of time outside in the heat.

After dinner we headed back to the Airbnb to hang out and go to bed early. Since we were heading back to OKC early in the morning to beat traffic.

Day 4 After a 4-hour drive, we arrived back in OKC and it felt great to get out of the car. We relaxed, ate dinner, and then we went to the OKCLA game (OKCLA is the minor league team for the Los Angeles Dodgers). I love baseball, so it was fun to get to see a good minor league team play.

Day 5 After a good night’s sleep, we woke up and went to breakfast at The Red Cup. I got a Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich and a Chai tea to drink. It was the perfect breakfast for a hot day. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and all of the art.

After breakfast we took a water taxi ride around downtown and we got to see some murals and sculptures.

For lunch we went to Big Truck Tacos, and it was amazing! I got the Okie-Wahoo and Rita’s Chicken Tacos. It’s an affordable and delicious place- highly recommend if you’re ever in OKC!

Once we were done eating, then it was time for me to head to the airport and go back to LA. It was a great trip to Austin and OKC, and I definitely want to return to both cities.

Beginner’s Guide to Austin, TX and Oklahoma City, OK When I started looking at all of the places I have left to travel to I realized that I haven't been to the Southern States, and I decided to ease myself into venturing to this new area of the country by visiting one of my best friends in Oklahoma City (OKC).
