White Flag

Chapter 1: Unfair Fight

Summary:

The battlefield was soaked with blood. Inuyasha snarled as he cut through the enemy lines. He didn’t care who the bodies belonged to. Today, it was the blue banners of some distant noble, tomorrow, it might be the green of another. All that mattered was the coin they paid him. And her.

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

“I’m still not totally sure about this, Kikyo..” Kagome confessed with a frown on their walk to the restaurant.

She rubbed her palms against the soft cashmere covering her arms to ward away the chill. She knew she should’ve worn a coat. Despite the sunshine, her forest green off-the-shoulder sweater, high-waisted charcoal pleated mini skirt, and trusty espresso knee-high boots failed to provide enough warmth on this cool fall day in the city.

“Kagome, it’s just for fun!” Her cousin chided with a smile and not for the first time since they departed Kagome’s flat. She light-heartedly jabbed a finger into Kagome’s side, where she knew the young woman ticklish. Kikyo’s scheme worked; Kagome laughed. “It’s good for you to put yourself back out there after calling off your engagement to Koga. It’s been, what - six months, now? This blind double date Sango set up for us is you dipping your toe back into the dating pool, Kaggy, that’s all.”

Blue eyes crinkling, Kagome smirked at her cousin for the use of her childhood nickname. She slid her arm around the crook of Kikyo’s elbow and pulled her companion closer. Unlike Kagome, Kikyo had worn a double-breasted eggplant coat and was perfectly toasty.

Kagome laid her head on the taller woman’s arm and let out an acquiescing sigh. “You’re right, KiKi.” She snuggled against Kikyo with an ulterior motive: to steal any residual warmth.

“Of course, I am. Aren’t I always?” Kikyo teased, snuggling back. “There’s no pressure whatsoever -”

The abrupt and shrill, whining sound of an accelerating motorcycle cut Kikyo off. Kagome made to cover her ears, but it was too late. The bike whizzed past them so closely and at such a high speed, turbulent air whipped around them, tossing their hair about wildly and even blowing up the hem of Kagome’s skirt.

“Hey!” Kagome fumed, knocking her knees together and slapping the front of her garment back down onto her thighs. Clutching the fabric in indignation, she glowered in the motorcyclist’s direction just in time to spy the helmeted driver looking over his shoulder (because obviously it was a man) back at her and Kikyo.

“You idiot!” Kagome stormed two steps after him and shook her fist, but he was gone, disappearing after a turn onto a side street. “Ugh!” She huffed, stomping her foot. “Can you believe the nerve of some people?”

“Uh-huh,” Kikyo answered distractedly. She had already pulled out her compact and was busy fixing her unruly locks.

Kagome turned on her heel and snorted as if to dismiss the man. Seeing Kikyo and realizing her hair, too, must appear disheveled, she carded her fingers through her wavy tresses before she snagged a red ribbon from her purse. Kagome used the fabric to secure her black strands into a high ponytail. She fluffed the tip with a few flicks of the back of her hand, twirling her fingers around the ends from habit. The hairstyle accentuated the neckline of her top, at least.

“Jerk.” Kagome muttered under her breath, her anger still festering. His juvenile antics caused her to flash her underwear to everyone on the block, after all! She demanded justice!

Kikyo tutted, clicking her compact closed and dropping it back into her bag. “Forget about him. It’s not like we’ll ever see him again, anyway. Besides,” She grinned, “I bet he did it on purpose. I think he liked.. the show.” She elbowed Kagome with a chuckle.

“Oh, you stop!” Kagome slapped Kikyo away, which only increased the woman’s laughter.

“Come on! You know it’s kind of funny. And now that you’re all warmed up,” Kikyo poked fun at the red hue painted across Kagome’s cheeks, “you’re ready to meet our dates, whom I’m sure are perfect gentlemen.”

Kagome only hummed in response. For some reason, she couldn’t get the image of the black-clad figure looking back at her out of her mind. Him speeding by on that motorcycle annoyed her, but it also.. excited her. Plus, judging from the glimpse she obtained of the driver, he looked kinda tall with some pretty broad shoulders. Like the sort of guy who might toss you around a little bit -

A sharp, short prick on the pad of her pinky jarred Kagome from her thoughts. Curious, she turned her palm upwards to examine it, running her thumb over the finger in question. The flesh was smooth and unblemished; nothing appeared amiss. Had she imagined it?

She shook her head at herself.

Kikyo was right.

She’d never see him again.

As many of you might've read my story 'Til Death Do Us Both Part' I wanted to give a heads up. I'm working on a project of changing the characters into my own and writing it to be a light novel with drawings throughout the book.. I wanted to let you all know that the 'Til Death Do Us Both Part' that's on AO3 is merely a preview or a sneak speak of what's going to happen in the light novels... I want to make it into at least three separate books with at least 30 chapters in each book... I'll be giving updates and posting my original characters here soon so please keep a look out! And if you haven't read the story please go read it and let me know what you think! 🥰

The Wind Will Guide You

Summary:

"…You’re leaving?" he asked, his voice low. "Yeah…" she whispered. "Soon…" The wind swirled gently around them, flowers loosing to the scent of death. Her heart stuttered in her chest, the rhythm growing weaker. Still, she relished the feeling. This moment was worth the sacrifice.   "At the end… I got to see you…"

Did you enjoy watching Inuyasha back in the day? I watched it till a point after which I didn’t continue… life got in the way. But was a good one.

Who is your fav character from the anime?

Enjoy some of my fanarts in the meantime 😇

Blame the FC discord... How the meaning Changes is now online on AO3 Summary: A comment in a discord channel started this, and it became a question of how do the Kotodama beads change in Inuyasha's mind over time, and what do they come to signify when Kagome is in her era.

More importantly, how does Inuyasha react when someone starts to remove them?

Promises, Promises

Summary:

The morning sun hung low on the horizon, painting the training field in hues of gold and amber. A light breeze stirred the air, carrying the faint scent of dew and grass. Sango and Miroku stood at opposite ends of the clearing, poised for battle. What had begun as a simple sparring session to hone their skills had evolved into something far more charged.

Happy birthday @violetasteria! Wishing you all of the joy and happiness for your next trip around the sun. Thank you for being so WONDEFUL!

Happy liminal space, everyone! Both between holidays, but also, ironically, I'm posting this as the time changed over into the next day. What is time, anyway?

So have another chapter of From Beginning to End.

Whatever You Say, Flyboy

Summary:

The emergency landing fucked everything up. Inuyasha scoffed as he ripped another burnt out conductor from the wall, sparks crackling around his claws. The ship was a mess, its once sleek hull dented and charred, the cockpit a jungle of dangling wires and flickering lights. His temper flared as he tossed the conductor over his shoulder, the clattering sound drowned out by the hum of alien insects in the swamp he’d crash landed into. “This is the last time I listen to that damn nav bot."

Happy Birthday @skyguyy! May your day be brighter then the stars and your navigation be set to happiness!

I love Inuyasha. I have the collector’s edition of the manga. I’ll always hold it near and dear to my heart.
