Hi my love! I hope you’re okay. Will you draw some fluffy InuKag napping together for me? I know it’s not much of a distraction but it would make me feel better as well!
Sending you all the love. 💕
Hi @heynikkiyousofine 💕 I can definitely draw some InuKag fluff for you! I hope you feel better too hun! (it did help relax my mind, thank you 💕)

When I saw the inspiration picture for the @inuyasharedraw event, I knew I wanted to give it a try. Originally thought about a fantasy RPG AU version, but then my hand slipped and we have high school uniform Kagome!
I dunno I just liked the idea of during the three years Kagome was blocked from everyone else, she seriously contemplated using her abilities to blast a hole through the well. She did it once before, why not? Granted she was blasting away tree roots and smashed the other side all up back then with nerfed levels, so I can't even imagine what she'd do when she's uncapped.

Imagine Sesshomaru stumbling on the three Inuyashas. “Oh no, they multiplied.”
Tumblr media
Nonny, I want you to know I spent all night on this one, just for those expressions. And a bonus Rin who came to visit Kaede and is ecstatic that she's now got three "Uncle" Inuyashas.

So I did the Inuyasha/Yashahime escape room at Tokyo Dome City today, and, while I'm going to do a full write-up/summary/translation with pictures and videos soon, I thought I'd give at least a little preview today!
The story is that you're an ordinary farmer who gets cursed by a dragon demon. Kagome gets immediately kidnapped by the demon, so since you and Inuyasha are both after the same enemy, you team up to find and defeat him. The demon is attacking a mysterious "amusement park" and you have to find clues on the attractions. (For us, we rode a spinning teacup-style ride and Inuyasha attacked it. It was delightful.) Eventually, you find out that he can only be defeated by a human with no demonic, spiritual, or priestly energy, and, since Sango's not feeling up to it, it's gotta be you.
You defeat him, but 20 years later, a similar demon is attacking the village and amusement park. This time, you team up with Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha to defeat him and find out his connection to the original demon.
A really nice touch is that they're playing Yashahime music throughout the park the whole time, and I stan Wada Kaoru to a ridiculous level, so that might have actually been the best part for me.
A less nice touch is that, hilariously enough, the escape room was true to form in that the Yashahime section was more confusing, more poorly-written, and terribly animated (I wish I could have recorded the second dragon's death scene. My friend and I lost it at how bad the animation was.) compared to the Inuyasha section. My friend has never watched either show and even she noticed how much less effort was put into the Yashahime part.
An interesting point for discussion is that they specify it's been 20 years between the two attacks, and since Kagome is still in her school uniform and they mention Naraku might be connected to the demon, the first attack must be during the course of the original series. This would mean Yashahime actually takes place 17 years after the end of the original series, not 18, right? (20 years minus the 3 Kagome spent in the future.) Obviously, I'd trust the in-show timeline over a non-canon escape room, but it shows that the manga-based starting-in-1996 timeline is definitely wrong.
Tumblr media
The clue book for the Inuyasha portion of the escape room. (I'll scan the insides later, I promise!)
Tumblr media
The clue book for the Yashahime portion.
Tumblr media
A bonus book of extra puzzles to solve while you're waiting on line for the attractions. (Sticking to the "only child Rin on merch" theme, I see.)
The only characters that appear in the game are Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippō, Sango, Miroku, and Myōga in the first part, then Towa, Setsuna, Moroha, and Myōga again in the second part. So, I had to see if they had Kagura anywhere, of course.
Tumblr media
They had banners of almost all Naraku's incarnations hanging over the entrance area.
Tumblr media
Then, there was this giant mural in the underground walkway. If you zoom in . . .
Tumblr media
Of course they put Kagura and Sesshōmaru right next to each other. I don't know who at Sunrise is being paid to mess with my heart, but I don't appreciate it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Slightly closer-up pics if you want 'em. They were at the top of the mural, and I'm short, so this is the best I could do, sorry.)
Overall, it was fun and if anyone in Japan is reading this, I'd recommend it! It seems pricey at ¥3600, but that includes tickets to 5 attractions, so it's actually a great deal.
That's all for now, but more pictures and information to come! Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Reminisce
was thinking about moroha and then started thinking about how there is a lack of teenage moroha and papayasha bonding so i was like "shit i'm gonna have to write it aren't i" and welp this happened.
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
He didn’t have to open his eyes to know he was being stalked. Hell, he didn’t even need his sense of smell on account of she was being loud enough to wake the freakin’ dead.
From his location lounging against the base of Goshinboku, arms behind his head and legs crossed at the ankle, Inuyasha easily tracked her movements through the boughs of the great tree. From what it sounded she was almost directly above him and was trying - and failing - to inconspicuously slide that last inch to catch him unawares before attempting, what he suspected, was a dive bomb aimed straight toward him.
He inwardly snorted and fought to keep his features lax as if in sleep. His goal had been to catch a nap before dinner, but apparently that wasn’t going to happen now. Not with his pursuer breathing way too hard and rustling the leaves and muttering every time her clothes snagged on the branches. Actually, judging by the rate of speed she was moving through boughs, Inuyasha suspected that a piece of her regular attire was absent and as such allowed her to move much more smoothly. He had to wonder if maybe that was why she thought she could get away with it this time, even when every time she’d tried in the past, he’d thwarted every attempt.
Barely managing to keep himself from smirking in amusement – her misplaced confidence would be her downfall – Inuyasha listened carefully and started a mental countdown when she suddenly grew silent.
Three…two…one—
“Do it and die,” Inuyasha called out in a lazy drawl without even bothering to open his eyes just as his unknown attacker prepared to leap into action.
There was a gasp, the sound of nails scraping against rough bark, and then a short shriek followed by a rush of air before a solid thud landed right beside him. She groaned, and a golden eye cracked open briefly to ascertain her welfare before closing once again after deeming she was fine. A fall like that would leave a bruise and nothing more.
“Ooow, my poor butt.”
“Serves you right.”
“My back.”
“You’ll live.”
“I’m dying.”
He snorted. So dramatic. Just like her mother.
“How’d you know?” There was a definite whine to her tone and he knew if he opened his eyes, he’d see her face screwed up into a pout.
“I know everything.”
She snorted. “My ass.”
He frowned. “Language.”
Another snort and he felt her slight weight lean against his side. “Like you're any better. Where do you think I learned it from? Mom?”
“If she knew half the shit that came outta your mouth, you’d be grounded for life and there’s fuck all I can do about that.”
“I guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship.” He could hear the grin in her voice, the brat.
He scowled. “Smartass.”
“Takes one to know one.”
“Wanna know why your eyes are brown? ‘Cause you’re full of shit.”
“Wanna know why your eyes are yellow? ‘Cause you’re full of p—”
He groaned, and she cackled. Christ, was he this bad when he was a teenage whelp?
“Seriously, though,” she said a minute later and he heard her shifting around as she got comfortable beside him. “How’d you know? I was being really careful and even took off my cloak so it wouldn't get caught!”
“You reek. I smelled you from a mile away—”
“Dad.”
He sighed. “You’re still breathing too hard and you're being careless with your claws. I could hear ‘em scraping against the bark, and the leaves were rustlin’ too much for it to be any normal tree critter going from branch to branch.”
She was silent as she digested that and Inuyasha wondered if now he could get that nap.
“So I just need to be quieter—hey, wait a minute, are you calling me fat?!”
“Well, you’re definitely not a pup anymore—oomph. Dammit, runt, ow. Don’t you have anything better to do than abuse your old man? Like annoy your mother?”
At that his kid went suspiciously quiet and he was just about to ask what happened when she spoke up. “She, um, might have…sent me off to find you after I…uh, helped…light the fire for dinner…”
There was something in the way she said that that gave Inuyasha pause. Suspicious tugged his brows down over his eyes as he opened them to glance down at his daughter for the first time. Leaning against his side as she was, his view of her was of the top of her head, the red bow standing out amidst her dark hair.
“What happened?” he asked slowly, cautiously.
She didn’t answer right away and ducked her head. His frown deepened.
“Moroha.”
It was a warning and it was one she knew not to ignore.
Hunching her shoulders a little and worrying her bottom lip, Moroha wrinkled her nose as she idly twirled a long blade of grass between her fingers. “I…might have…addedmorefirewoodtomakesureitdidn’tgoout—”
Inuyasha closed his eyes and bit back a groan. “Moro, that’s three times now you almost—”
“But it didn’t!” she protested. “I got it under control in time and it only singed Mom’s hakama a little—”
He was unable to hold back a sigh as he shook his head. “Just—tell me that you or your mom didn’t get burned.”
“We didn’t,” she replied, her voice small and slightly petulant. The blade of grass was now in numerous tiny pieces across her lap and she was working on her second one.
They fell into silence then, and Inuyasha was thinking that maybe it’d be a good idea to find ways to fireproof their home when his daughter broke the silence once more.
“I think she’s mad, though.”
“Who?”
“…Mom.”
Inuyasha snorted his opinion of that. “Doubt it. Takes more than a little fire and singed pants to piss off your mom.”
A pause. Then, “How do you figure?’
The look he sent her, though she couldn’t see it, was slightly incredulous. “She married me. The fact that she hasn’t cut off my balls and fed them to me by now after all the shit I put her through is more’n enough proof, kiddo. Trust me, she ain’t mad.”
Finally Moroha cracked a small grin and tipped her head back enough to stare up at him. “Yeah, I guess Mom would need the patience of a saint to put up with you for, what is it now, twenty years—”
Inuyasha’s hand coming down on her head and shoving cut her off and Moroha laughed, lifting her hands and unsuccessfully trying to pry his off her head. There was a brief struggle in which quarter-demon tried to overpower half-demon, but her strength was no match to his and she ended up flat on her back with a clawed hand pinning her down. After a dramatic show of surrender - she really was so much like her mother - Inuyasha removed his hand and watched as his skid scooted back until her head was pillowed on his thigh.
He raised his brows in surprise, but didn’t object to the new position. She hadn’t done that since she was a pup, and Inuyasha would be lying if he said he didn’t miss it, didn’t miss the days when she would grin so brightly up at him as she held her arms up and called him “Papa.”
Inuyasha blinked at the sudden tide of emotion and leaned his head back against the tree, closing his eyes as he put his hand back behind his head. Their girl had been so affectionate when she was little, always giving out hugs and kisses and “I love you’s.” Now that she was older, her affections were scarcer; while she may hold many traits of her mother, there was no doubt in anybody’s mind that she was her father’s daughter when it came to matters of the heart. Sure, she didn’t show it often, but both Inuyasha and Kagome knew Moroha loved her parents very deeply, and they loved her fiercely in return.
Once more, they fell into companionable silence and Inuyasha was content to sit there, listening to the leaves rustle and the gentle beating of Moroha’s heart. He was finally able to slip into a light doze, his breathing deepening, his limbs becoming heavy—
“…Hey, Dad?”
His ear flicked and Inuyasha withheld a sigh. “Hm?” He gave up. That nap was nothing more than a pipe dream now.
“…Can you tell me about the day you and Mom met? The second time, I mean.”
Inuyasha’s brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of her question. The second time they met? Assuming the first was on her fifteenth birthday, then the second had to be…
Oh. He opened his eyes and glanced down at her, brow arched. “You already know about that day. You ask your mom all the time, and if I remember, she just told you again last night over dinner.”
Moroha shrugged. “Yeah, but that’s Mom’s version. I’ve never heard it from you before.”
Her gaze met his, dark depths identical to her mother’s filled with genuine curiosity as she smiled up at him, and Inuyasha knew there was no way he’d ever deny her anything. His expression softened and he sighed, giving a minute shake of his head. Big surprise that both of his girls knew how to manipulate him. Fuck, but he was getting to be such a soft bastard in his old age.
“You wanna hear it from me, huh,” he rumbled and Moroha’s smile widened as she nodded enthusiastically.
“Well,” he began, tipping his head back against the tree and staring up into the thick branches as he gathered his thoughts. “It was just like any other day. I didn’t have anything better to do, so I was hanging around your aunt and uncle and their brood. Hisui was just a couple days old, and the twins had some sick fascination with my ears.”
Moroha snorted and aimed a cheeky grin at him. “Don’t you mean they still do?”
He shot her a mild glare. “Don’t remind me,” he mumbled and rolled her eyes when she started snickering. “Shippou, the little runt, likened me to their fucking toy. I had just asked Miroku to do something about them when a scent…came to me on the breeze.”
Dark eyes stared up at her father’s face, studying the far off look on his features, the small frown that knitted his brow, the way he stared at something that only he could see. She’d never seen anything like that expression on the older demon’s face before and Moroha was absolutely drawn in, to both the story and the lull of her father’s nostalgic-laden voice. She yawned and snuggled further into her father’s warmth, completely enraptured.
“I didn’t think,” he continued, still staring off into the middle distance. “I grabbed the twins, dumped them on the fox with the suggestion to slay him, and took off without a word of explanation. I remember…I was terrified. I was so scared that it wouldn’t be true, that my nose was playing a cruel trick on me. So often I dreamed of this day that it was almost surreal. But the closer I got to the well, the stronger the scent became, and I started to hope, for the first time in three years, that it wasn’t a dream. And then…”
His voice cracked slightly, and Inuyasha had to clear his throat before he could continue. “Then I reached into the well, and your mom grabbed my hand, and…I pulled her out. And she was there. Here. With me again, after three long years. She was real. She wasn’t a dream, she wasn’t one of Shippou’s illusions. Then Kagome – your mom – smiled at me and she was crying and she—”
He chuckled, shaking his head in fond remembrance. “Your damn mother apologized. In true Kagome fashion, she apologized and asked if I was waiting for her. And you know what I said back?”
Moroha did know, but she shook her head, still smiling.
With a soft smile of his own, Inuyasha recounted, word for word, “‘You idiot. What have you been doing all this time?’”
Moroha sighed and closed her eyes, painting a picture in her head, trying to imagine the day her parents had reunited after three long years separated from each other. It was one of her favorite things to imagine, especially when she was having trouble falling asleep at night. For some reason, thinking about the story her mother retold with a warm, loving smile on her face always made her so drowsy…
“Yeah,” Inuyasha said on a sigh and chuckled again. “First time I see her in three years, and the first thing I do is call her an idiot. But by some miracle, she stayed with me, a half-breed with nothing to his name but a sword and the clothes on his back, and she…she gave me a family. She gave me a home, and she gave me you. And to this day I don’t think she realizes that I would have waited a hundred more years - five hundred, even - to see that smile again, for her to apologize, and for me to call her an idiot.”
Closing his eyes, Inuyasha sucked in a breath and swallowed the ball of emotion that welled in his throat. It was amazing, how even nearly twenty years later and thinking about that day still evoked the same response, the same thoughts and feelings but at least this time he was more prepared for them. Raising a rowdy quarter-demon that was much like himself when he was younger taught him a thing or two about patience and how to properly assess and handle the accompanying emotions.
When he opened his eyes again, he was feeling more composed and he released the breath in a long, shaky sigh. He felt lighter, however, and wondered if this is what Kagome meant by “channeling your strong emotions into something positive” or whatever.
“Well, kiddo,” he murmured when his kid had been uncharacteristically silent for too long. “Whaddaya think?”
He looked down and he blinked in surprise before his face softened in fatherly affection.
She was asleep. Having turned onto her side at some point, she was facing him with her hands tucked beneath her cheek, lips parted as soft little snores escaped. She was drooling and he grinned, a fond upward curl of his lips. For a moment Inuyasha simply stared at her, taking in her features lax in sleep, and he was suddenly reminded of all those times when she’d fall asleep in the strangest places as a pup – on the roof, in a rice barrel, in a damn cooking pot – and the surge of love he felt for her was powerful.
Moroha, his precious daughter. It didn’t matter how old she was – sixteen, twenty-two, fucking thirty-five – she would always be his little girl.
When Kagome found them an hour later, it was dusk and the sight that greeted her brought a smile to her lips. Their daughter, fast asleep and curled up with her head on her father’s lap while Inuyasha idly ran his fingers through her hair as he stared off at something only he could see. When he registered her presence, however, he flicked his gaze toward her, his expression open, soft.
Quietly Kagome crossed the distance between them and settled by his side, smiling down at their slumbering daughter. She sighed and combed her fingers through her bangs.
“Little birdie told me you had an eventful day,” Inuyasha murmured quietly, reluctant to disturb the snoozing teenager.
Kagome hummed. “Yes,” she agreed just as softly. “But nothing we couldn’t handle.”
“No casualties, huh?”
She side-eyed him and her grin was a little wry. “Unless you count singed hakama, I’m pleased to report there were no fatalities.”
Inuyasha chuckled and Kagome joined in with a quiet laugh.
“She thinks you’re mad,” he revealed, looking down at the girl in question as he once more ran his fingers through her dark hair. She was out like a light, not even stirring at the presence of her mother.
Kagome looked surprised, her brows rising up into her bangs as she turned her attention toward her husband. But then she sighed and wrinkled her nose, shaking her head.
“I was…exasperated,” she revealed at length, brow knitted slightly as she recalled the day’s events. “But not mad. I just wish she’d be more careful. Think before she acts.”
Inuyasha grinned. “Sounds like someone else I know.”
“I wonder who,” Kagome mused, the corner of her lip kicking up into a matching grin as she cast him another sidelong glance. Her husband looked completely unrepentant and she had to laugh.
Moroha grunted, mumbled something in her sleep, and uttered a soft sigh before stilling once more.
Kagome’s smile was one of motherly affection as she regarded her sleeping daughter. “We should get her home,” she murmured, just loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.
Inuyasha nodded in wordless agreement and gazed at his little girl, just taking a moment to commit the sight to memory. Then, being careful not to disturb her, he slipped his arms beneath her slim body and pushed to his feet in one fluid movement, Moroha cradled to his chest as she slept on, oblivious. Kagome stood as well and together they walked home, his wife’s hand tucked into his bent elbow.
Kagome held the reed mat open so Inuyasha could duck inside with their passed-out daughter in his arms and stepped in after him. She watched with a fond, loving smile as he put her to bed, gently laying her down on her futon and covering her up with a blanket. Chances were she’d wake up an hour or so later to eat dinner, but for now they were content to let her rest. Her heart fluttered in her chest, as it always did when she watched her little family, as Inuyasha bent down to kiss his daughter’s forehead before joining her at the fire.
She wasn’t expecting him to grab her chin after he sank next to her and pull her into a long, leisurely kiss that had a lick of fire curling in her stomach and warmth to suffuse her cheeks. Nonetheless he returned it with an appreciative hum and she was smiling when he pulled back.
“Love you, wench,” he whispered and kissed her forehead, just as he’d done to his daughter not even thirty seconds ago.
“I love you,” Kagome breathed in return, basking in her husband’s tender affections and thinking, not for the first time, just how incredibly, immeasurably happy she was with her little family, safe and warm and here.

Yashahime The Second Act (2)
Tumblr media
I never ever, ever want to hear Antis call Sesshomaru a bad father again, absolutely no one. He is not a bad father, he happens to be dealing with a lot of stress and situations involving all his love ones. He happens to love his daughters very much. I believe in season 1 Sesshomaru had to lay low on showing any fatherly affection towards his daughters because of Zero and Kirinmaru are always watching him. And I believe that Sesshomaru reached the end of his rope and said, screw it. He touched their cheeks, he does care. He wants his daughters to stay alive and fight those foes who always wants to kill them. They are hanyos of Sesshomaru and Rin, it's forbidden love, so yes, there are going to be enemies giving trouble or trying to kill their children or them. So the girls must always fight to keep themselves alive and Sesshomaru will be there if he knows that there is a battle his daughters can't handle. Aww! I just love that he is touching his babies cheeks like this! Aww, his Mini Rins. Remember this, Sesshomaru's eyes are never shown when he is the most emotional, it's just like the scene in the Final Act when Rin died. And eee! He said Setsuna's name! But why though? Was it because he wanted Setsuna to wake up and she wasn't? Was it because he's blaming himself? Or saying her name for other reasons? Hope to find out soon, I'm gonna cry.
Tumblr media
Towa and Setsuna's blades, Towa's new sword is extremely unique and remarkable, I love the style. And it looks like Setsuna's blade got a repair and an upgraded style. Those blades are possibly going to be more powerful. I love em and can't wait to see the girls use them.
Tumblr media
Whoa! Look at Towa here in this frame! This is her human form with short hair, purple glowing eyes, Sesshomaru's purple moon cresent on her forehead! And omMokomoko, she is still using the tenseiga! She's getting more stronger like her father! Ahhh! Aww, Mini Rin with purple eyes, so cute! But dang, I hope her using all this power doesn't drain her, because in the scene with Sesshomaru, she's knocked out.
Tumblr media
Ohh my Mokomoko! They are in the tree of ages! The watery flooring is a perfect giveaway that they are in there! The thing is... will the twins see their mother Rin sleeping in the tree? What will they think? What's Moroha going to think seeing her Aunt Rin for the first time? So many questions about this scene is floating around.
Tumblr media
The feels! More feels! Moroha see's that her are parents alive! And look, she has tears in her eyes. Yup, I'm definitely gonna be crying on this scene too, no doubt, I'm gonna need a lot of tissues during these episodes. Question is, where are they? Is Moroha in the black pearl or did Sesshomaru release them? Hm, this will be very interesting.
Tumblr media
! Okay, why is Riku and Kirin here?! What's going on?! Oh goshy, I'm lost for words for this scene, I have a strong feeling this maybe a shock to all of us once we find out what is really going on in it.
Tumblr media
What is Jaken holding? A crystal or some type of flower that's tilted to the side? What is this? Is it something for Rin? Towa? Setsuna? Sesshomaru? We'll have to see what this is all about. ! Rin is crying again? Noo, please don't cry anymore Rin!... No, I don't think this is a flashback here, it looks the same as episode 24 but the tree is red and something is on Rin's neck?... Zero, you better not had of put something else on Rin. I hope she didn't and it might be something that could help her but I just don't know, she looks extremely sad in this. I wonder if Rin is crying again because they are having difficulties waking up Setsuna, Towa got hurt or Sesshomaru got hurt... or is it just her cry to be free from the tie... I'm gonna cry on this scene too... oh gosh, please don't let this be something very bad.
Tumblr media
Ohh my Mokomoko! Adult Rin in action! Finally! Yes! Ohh she looks absolutely gorgeously beautiful, she's a petite wife! Sesshomaru is going to be a little taller than her, that's gonna look so cute! Wow! She's wearing the lovely purple butterfly kimono from the final act and she upgraded it so it could still fit her! this is so entirely sweet, Rin must really cherish it, it has to be one of her favorite gifts from her husband from Sesshomaru. She's praying that their daughters are safe... oh my goshy! My heart, Rin is just so amazing and sweet. She's a wonderful mother. The flowers that surround here, it reminds me of all the flower fields the sessh gang visited. Many comrades had said this could be their meeting place, I love it! And why not? Of course they would meet in this type of place, it's Rin's passion to be surrounded by so many gorgeous flowers. Just think about all the dates! The nights together! Ahhh! I'm freaking out in a Sessrin fangirl way! Yaaay! So sweet, cute and romantic.
Ehhhh?!!! Zero?! Your face again?! No... you better not had tied poor Lady Rin to your sorry tail, girl, you must really want your head to roll by Sesshomaru. I hope that Sessh saved her that night... Dang you Zero, you are such a homewrecker. You ruined two beautiful families just because you couldn't be with Toga and was so jealous. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha don't need you messing with their families, especially Sesshomaru since you're so into destroying his life and making him miserable... ugh, I can't with this woman. She literally went after the wife of Sesshomaru, does she know that it's a death wish to mess with Rin? That night on the grime comet, Sesshomaru was in a rush and many of us Sessrin fans believe he may had sensed his wife was in danger and flew away to her aid. Let's hope Sesshomaru got to this scene in time before Zero done anything harsh.

Yashahime Is Over Party: Contribution #2
“All right, all right!” 
The crowd of villagers quieted (some with a wince) as the high-pitched shout rang around the village entrance. Ten-year-old Moroha gave them one last warning glare for good measure. 
With, as her Great-Grandpa on the other side of the Well would say, “more gusto than should be necessary”, she then leapt upon the nearest height-offering surface - one of the tourists’ suitcases, emblazoned a dozen times on every side with “FRAGILE” - and began her welcome speech. 
“Shut your mouths and hold onto your butts, folks, because this is a real treat! The coolest village ever to exist in any timeline, on a sunny day! Since my big brother is at kitsune academy today, you all have the honor of yours truly acting as escort around this prime piece of feudal real estate!” 
Dramatic pause for emphasis. (Yes, she’d taken some liberties with the script that Shippo had left, and she didn’t quite know what ‘prime piece of real estate’ actually meant, but her cousin Towa agreed that it sounded fancy and fancy always worked with humans.) 
A soft-faced young woman glanced around the crowd self-consciously before raising a hand. “You mean, this is the village where priestess Kikyo - “
“Ahem!” Moroha held up the wooden sign hanging from her neck, tapping the carved-in letters spelling ‘Village Tour Guide #2” with one nail. “Are you wearin’ the sign?”
“Oh. Uh, sorry.” The woman blushed. 
After a moment, Moroha cleared her throat. “Okay, yeah, it is. But there’s a bunch of other super-cool people here, too! If you wanna meet them - follow me!” With that, she jumped from the suitcase to land solidly in the dirt. A few tourists reared back from the cloud of disturbed dust, putting them at the back of the moving crowd. 
“First up, the sister of the blah-dee-blah-famed-priestess-blah-dee-blah Kikyo - Lady Kaedeeeeee!” She swung both arms in a dramatic half-circle towards the healer woman’s hut; the crowd ooh-ed and ah-ed appropriately. “On days like these, she’s either healing a sick patient, birthin’ a new baby, or taking a long nap! Since she’s awfully old, the napping’s more frequent.” Hooking an arm around a teenage tourist’s shoulder, she hissed in a spooky tone, “Some say she’ll live forever, getting older and older until she’s like a living zombie-” 
“I heard that.” With a cross expression, Kaede leaned out of the window.“Don’t think I won’t curse you for those bad manners.”
Moroha waved the group on with a nervous chuckle. 
“And this is the home of the most famous demon slayer known to womankind - Sango!” Cupping both hands around her mouth like a bullhorn, Moroha drew out the last syllable of the woman’s name to emphasize her coolness. Several of the humans perked up with excitement; it wasn’t hard to imagine that they had themselves benefited from some of the woman’s work. 
“Her husband Miroku lives here too. He used to be a monk, but now he’s a family guy! My papa says -” She straightened, putting on a deep, gruff tone - “it’s a damn miracle -” Dropping the tone, she grinned cheerily at the group - “nobody will tell me why!” 
As if on cue, the door to the house opened to reveal a group of tall, bickering young adults. The loudest were two women with matching features, the only visible difference to a stranger being that one’s slayer outfit was trimmed in pink and the other’s in green. Behind them trotted a younger boy, also wearing a slayer outfit in red.  
“I’m taking the kusarigama, you’re taking the wakizashi!” The green-outfitted slayer said, ignoring her sister’s attempts to talk over her. “Otherwise you and Mom will have two long-range weapons, and that makes no sense!” 
“Plus that’s Uncle Kohaku’s specialty!” Their brother piped up; he dodged the twin elbows that swung back at him as easily as if they’d warned him. “She wants to impress him with it so he’ll take her on his trip to the mountains with Rin this summer!” 
Through the left-open door, came the sweet smell of treats baking - one of the many hobbies Miroku had taken up with his time, now that he wasn’t going to up and die (Moroha knew she wasn’t technically supposed to know about that. Or probably phrase it like that… But if her godfather Koga said it that way, why was it any different for her?)
The group of slayers stopped short upon seeing the crowd; with awkward bows, they quickly skirted their way around the gaping tourists. 
““That’s Sango’s kids; every one of ‘em demon slayer prodigies.” Slinging her arm around the same teen from earlier, Moroha shook her head with a dramatic sigh. “Makes me almost want another sibling. Except then I’d have to share my room, nooooo thank you!”
“Excuse me.” A mustached man in the middle of the group raised one arm curiously. “I heard one of those women mention Rin - is that the human who died twice and was resurrected by the sword Tenseiga?” 
“Huh? Oh, yeah. That’s Rin.” Moroha tapped her own head thoughtfully and muttered under her breath, “Was it really only twice…”
“Does she still live here?” The man’s mustache drooped in a frown. “Or did she go to live with that dog demon?”
“Dog demon? Ohhh, you mean Uncle Sesshomaru!” A smile stretched across her face. “I almost forgot about him! Nah, after she got married she decided to stay in town -” 
“Married?!” The group erupted in murmurs of horror. One kerchiefed mother clapped her hands over the ears of her daughter; the mustached man turned green.
Moroha’s face fell. “Well, yeah. She wanted to keep taking healer lessons from Kaede, and even though he travels a lot, she wanted to stay by Kohaku’s side when he comes home. Be a team, and all that.” 
“Ohhhh, so she’s Kohaku’s wife!” The human mother’s shoulders slumped with a sigh. “How lovely and age-appropriate.” 
Moroha wasn’t sure what that meant, but if it made the negative energy go away then she was all for it! “Rin’s super cool, anyway. She knows how to heal demons, not just humans, and she tells really good ghost stories, and she’s actually really good at arm-wrestling -” 
Suddenly she ducked her head to whisper, “She’s probably my favorite cousin, if I’m bein’ honest with ya.”
 “Do you have other cousins?” A man who appeared to look a thousand years old squinted in her direction. Perhaps in confusion, but it was hard to tell with all the wrinkles. “I doubt a full-blooded dog demon like that Sesshomaru fella would leave his legacy in the hands of a human girl.” 
“My mom would say that’s prejudiced,” Moroha said helpfully, causing the old man to blanche. “But Rin’s got two little sisters, who you can see riiiiiiight now!” 
With a dramatic twist, she whirled around to point in the opposite direction with both hands, adding a low growl that was meant to mimic the roar of an excited crowd. 
The moment was slightly underwhelmed by the confused looks of the tourists as they took a moment to figure out where exactly to look. That’s okay; she’d work on it. 
Down the road, her twin cousins leaned against the wall of a house (Moroha’s house, which she was saving for last because you always save the best for last). Towa was smiling and pointing out something up in the sky, while Setsuna wore a very predictable scowl. From this far away, the red streaks in their hair were little more than smudges. 
The extremely old man with an attitude problem made a weird hacking noise, most likely in surprise. 
“Did he adopt them like your other cousin?” asked a teenage girl. 
“Kinda!” Both hands landed on her hips; Moroha then modeled her expression on her Uncle - stoic, dismissive, oh-so-cool. “On a cool spring night, Uncle Sesshomaru walked into the darkest, deepest forest on the planet, waved his sword over a really old and creepy tree, and when he cut it open - there they were. Two lil’ hanyou babies.” 
Dramatic pause. 
“Just kiddin’.” Laughing loud enough to bring back the wincing from the group, Moroha slapped her knee. “They’re full demons. I can still take either of ‘em in a fight, though. Oh!” She pointed up in the air with a wide, excited smile. “There’s their mom right now!” 
Murmurs of confusion filled the air as the tourists moved their heads this way, that way; only when a chilling breeze morphed into flesh and bone, right before their eyes, did the group exclaim in collective understanding. 
Moroha waved. “Hi, Auntie Kagura!” 
“Yo.” Clearly taken aback by the crowd, the wind demon gave a tiny salute. The side of her neck bore a half-moon symbol tattooed on the skin; Moroha thought it was neat, even if her dad thought it was a dumb, archaic wedding ritual. “Do your parents know you’re doing this?” 
“Uh, duh!” She held up the sign with a cheeky grin. 
“Fair enough.” Upon spying her daughters across the way, Kagura’s expression softened a bit. “Well, I’ll see you later.” 
“No, wait! We’re actually heading the same way.” Gesturing to the not-moving crowd, Moroha repeated, “The same way. Meaning the best part of the tour - come on, folks, work with me here -” 
Kagura snorted, walking quickly as though to avoid the gawking humans and their nosy questions about how she had been resurrected or could still live now that Naraku was dead or got Sesshomaru to admit he had feelings much less have kids with her. A curt “none of your business” was all they’d get, no matter how much Moroha tugged on her sleeve and whined about “giving people their money’s worth.”
Luckily, once they reached Moroha’s house, it was easy to escape. After all, a much more awe-inspiring attraction awaited the group of lucky, lucky tourists. 
“And now! The Greatest Love Story Of Our Time!” With a winning grin, Moroha landed a kick on the door, sending it slamming open. 
“Oh.” Kagome blinked at the group from where she sat on a futon in the middle of the house, surrounded by magical artifacts. A scroll marked with ink rolled from her lap all the way to one side of the room. Behind her, halfway through helping her put her hair in a bun, Inuyasha froze “Uh, hello?”
“My parents! Dumdedumdummmmm!” The warmth of her pride felt like it was going to burst in her chest. It was the absolute best to come home to people who loved her! Whether it was tickle fights before bed, or her dad taking her and Shippo out on demon-tracking trips, or her mom humming a lullaby if she felt sick on the full moon night, Moroha was certain her family was the best of anybody’s anywhere. “One fell through time, and one fell -- fell, uh, for her -- sorry, I’ll work on it.” 
Inuyasha huffed in the way that meant he was going to complain later. Kagome just chuckled and waved. 
For once, the humans reacted exactly the way Moroha wanted them to - smiling, clapping, appreciating the wonder of her super-beautiful-and-also-hella-powerful mom and grumpy-but-still-amazingly-brave papa. She launched into the story she knew by heart, of how they had come to be together and saved the whole world while they were at it. Some parts were probably missing or misrepresented, from the laughter in her mom’s eyes, but she had enough of it right that half the tourist group was in near tears by the time she was done. 
“And now, they have one more accomplishment to add to the long list - parenting the greatest warrior this world has ever seen. Moro-uh, Beniyasha!” Swirling the ends of her fire-rat robe, she twirled. “The Crimson Slayer!”
“Slayer of my patience, maybe,” Inuyasha snapped, though he was unable to hide his smile as he marched over to grab her by the collar. “Come ‘ere, kid. You’ve got chores to do!” 
Tossing her over his shoulder, he waved dismissively at the group of humans. “Sorry folks, the show ends here. Yeesh...” 
Moroha cupped both hands around her mouth, screeching to be heard over her parent’s laughter before the door shut.
“Make sure to leave your comment cards in the box at the entrance!”

Have a glance at an unfinished continuation of Family:
They never went to the Castle in the Sky.
Ultimately, no matter how great Sesshomaru’s power, no matter how terrifying his influence, it would not be safe for the twins to live in a castle amongst demonkind. His mother had pointed out as much when he’d called an audience with her, reminding him of all his Father’s greatest missteps and follies. His pride had killed him as much as his dalliances had. Were Sesshomaru not careful, that path would quickly become his own.
So they stayed. 
InuYasha didn’t seem to mind, though he barked nonsense about it from time to time. Kagome, though only one woman, managed the children well enough despite her duties. She had her friends to help her and InuYasha was the furthest thing from an absent Father, minding his nieces just as well as he minded his own daughter. 
Sesshomaru stayed near the children as often as he could. The hut they lived in was not the great palace he thought they deserved, but it was far enough from the village that no one cast a second glance in its direction, leaving all its inhabitants well enough alone. When he was near, he slept on the roof or at the door, but never inside; if the girls wanted him, they were more than welcome to leave the warmth of the hut and curl up in his lap to spend the night. They often did, in fact.
For a while, things were fine, and the girls grew safely.
***
In the beginning of their fourth year, he returned to Edo village after a fortnight away and found InuYasha crouching low in the bushes, hiding like a woodland creature. When he stepped down out of the sky and onto the grass behind him, looming tall, InuYasha cursed at him, hissing for him to get down.
Ridiculously, Sesshomaru acquiesced to the demand without considering it, crouching down low to one knee.
Silence fell as the pair of half-brothers hid in shrubbery. There was no danger, so far as he could tell; the scent of all three girls was scattered on the wind, but their auras were near, moving quickly through the forest.
“What are you doing?” he kept his voice low, if only so that no one else would come upon them and find him in such a compromising scene.
InuYasha hushed him. “Shuddup. The girls are tracking, you’ll tip ‘em off.”
“Tracking what?” Sesshomaru wondered, blatantly ignoring his brother’s demands. Still, he reigned his yoki into his chest and let it curl there, concealing it away. 
“Me, idiot.” He grumbled, peering out over the top of the bushes. His ears twitched one way and then the other, listening for them. They were stampeding as loud as horses, chattering with one another as they tried to find their guardian. It seemed InuYasha had left them with a few false starts. 
“Hn.”
Whether it was a game or a training exercise, or both, Sesshomaru decided it was an acceptable excuse and fell into an easy silence. His patience, eternal as it was, never faltered, senses keenly attuned to all three girls as they traversed the forest alone. By the way the hanyo’s ears twitched, he knew he was doing the same.
When the girls finally did find him, InuYasha received a face-full of Moroha as she tackled him, and Towa crash landed on his chest in victory, giggling. It was Setsuna who seemed calmer, almost timid as she peered over the bushes at the pile of bodies, lips downturned slightly. 
Then she saw him, and her eyes lit up. 
“Father!” 
He stood in one graceful movement and held his arm out to her, sweeping her up in his hold when she clambored up. Towa, finally noticing him, beamed.
“Papa!”
I think this was supposed to end up being an exploration of InuYasha’s and Sesshomaru’s relationship and past, but I never finished it.

Yashahime really hasn't impressed me 8 episodes in and next week looks like another filler-ish monster of the week where we will learn almost nothing new. I guess we're not even technically halfway through but man if this weren't Inuyasha related I woulda dropped it from writing/pacing alone.
As far as episode 8 goes:
Why didn't Moroha use her scared arrows if the pearl was absorbing demon energy???
jk it's because they needed to make Towa the strongest again I guess. No hard feelings though Towa bby but still
Thanks for showing us barely anything new with Sesshomaru/Inuyasha/Kagome than what we got with the preview last week lol
The writing is weird and the pacing feels off. Maybe the Four Perils are a red herring for the real baddie (Riku?) or whatever but the battles are so anticlimactic I get bored
Why didn't Towa care about how Riku kinda set her up last episode?? Why don't the girls seem to care about any of the mysteries? Treekyo? Four Perils? Bro Towa didn't even go for that dropped Rainbow pearl like I know she was worried about her sister but damn???? These kids really don't care lol love em tho

Kida unpopular opinion but... I don't think they are planning to "solve" Towa's extreme kindness (that isn't extreme to vegin with) or treat it as something that she needs to change /quickly/.
Yes, a lot of characters in the show have said already that Towa's kindness would let to her gettig into problems but... the story hasn't really show any kind of REAL backlash for Towa's kindness, maybe the only time that something like that happened would be when Zero used her and then she stole the remaining pearls, but that's it, the show exposes it in a "it could have been anyone anyway" situation, aka not something that happened only because of Towa being kind to Riku.
The show remark Towa's kindness as something actually GOOD and a lot of key character has been influenced by her kind nature in some way or another: Setsuna came to slowly change her personality, Moroha had a free way to actually interact with the twins and not be alone (let's be honest, if it was just for Setsuna she would reject Moroha over and over, even when the 2 of em are close) and Riku found someone that would catch his attention and that is genuinely friendly with him regardless of his status/his connections or his nature.
Of course, accusing Towa as "extremely" kind is just and exaggeration, if that was the case she genuinely wouldn't like or try to fight (and the show clearly proves that she is willingly to fight when is actually needed) but the point is that she definitely shows a more kind attitude that most of the people in Feudal Japan. And when she DOES make something over kindly that would lead to a BAD thing then the show itself solves it.
There are more instances of Towa's kindness being seen as something good/odd than something inherently bad and it makes sense since Towa's message has a lot to do with "not being ashamed of your own identity/way of acting" and her kindness is one of the key cores of who she is.
So yeah, I will shoot my shots that they will NEVER change that part of her, AND even if she gets to the point of thinking that all her problems are bound to her kindness and she decides to change that the show itself will tell her that she didn't need to chnage that, if Towa's kindness is a BAD point then all the good things that came out of it are inherently bad as well, and that surely isn't the message that they are trying to show.
Towa is Towa, as much of a redundancy that could sound that's the true here. She dresses like a boy when fighting cuz she likes it that way, she fantasizes with pretty and hot boys like any other girl could, she is cool like a samurai but at the sime time goofy and emotional like the 14 y/o girl she is, she would offer help to almost everyone that needs/deserves it but at the same time she wouldn't hesitate to fight bad people or people that actively try to hurt her.
If they really try to change something bad about her that could be the exaggerated way she is willingly to put herself in danger to help others without really thinking about her own safety aka= she needs more fighting experience, more than that they will just add more deepness to her character.
Just want people to remember that character development can have lots of shapes, meanings and deepness. Towa doesn't need to have a revolutionary character development that turns her in some kind of cold and ruthless vigilante to have a good character development. At the end, the only thing that a character needs to be a good character is to have a presence in the story and Towa already has a lot of that.
Oh that’s interesting.  I get what you’re saying.  I don’t think its an unpopular opinion?  People love to make things a black and white sort of issue.  Personally Towa’s “kindness” is a bit of both. 
Obviously her strength is opening up to other people and befriending them. Like with Riku, he likes her regardless of the fact that she’s his enemy.  He’s already starting to doubt himself, even though he said he could only kill those he loves. Its something that will pay off in the second season for sure.  I think Riku could betray Zero for Towa.  In that sense Towa’s kindness and belief in him is a positive factor.
I DO see her naivete and kindness as a flaw though.  When she met Riku the first time, her trusting nature ended up getting her kidnapped, which had real consequences because Setsuna and Moroha had to save her.  And then later on it turns out the princess of that estate wanted revenge on Moroha and the others for ruining her mood.  When they were fighting Totetsu, Towa messed up the surprise attack by smiling at the wrong time, which meant he got away.  I know what you’re saying, but they DO affect the plot. 
I agree though that they’ll never change the core part of her character!  The solution isn’t to become a cold hearted badass, LOL. That would be crazy. She is always going to be friendly and outgoing. I mean, her mom is Rin, and Rin went out of her way to befriend anyone and everyone!  Flaws make a character interesting.  Just like how Inuyashaa is hotheaded, or Kagome’s inexperience using a bow and arrow, and her jealousy.  I don’t see Towa “learning to be less nice” either.   As you said, she just needs to get stronger!
Thanks for the essay!  I’m hoping to see what happens to Towa in the next season!

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 21
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/yashahime-princess-half-demon/episode-21/.170045
I was naïve enough to hope that, after delivering an essentially tolerable half-hour last week, Yashahime might finally be on the upswing. Except I forgot: Yashahime is where hope goes to die. The animation, voice-acting, and direction all still range from mediocre to outright bad; nothing's changed there. In order to truly understand what makes “The Secret of the Rainbow Pearls” so lame, we have to talk about its writing, and that means the return of ~Yashahime Masterpiece Theater~, where I provide a completely accurate, line-by-line breakdown of Yashahime's many flaws! We begin some two-hundred years before the beginning of InuYasha, with Kirinmaru plotting his defeat of the Great Dog Demon…
—Prologue: Wherein We Technically Learn About the Secret of the Rainbow Pearls.—
The Four Perils: Lord Kirinmaru, the Great Dog Demon is ill, which makes right now the perfect time to strike!
Kirinmaru: You idiots! I'm an honorable and soulful villain. I only want to kill the GDD if we're on equal footing! Riku, go deliver these medicines to him, so I can murder him later!
Riku: Kay. [He leaves]
Lady Zero: That damned fool Kirinmaru! If only he'd be willing to murder the GDD while he's down! This is why we haven't taken over the world yet! [Riku returns]
Riku: Yo, so I went to go deliver those meds, but that Great Dog Demon dude is definitely dead.
Lady Zero: What!? No! how cruel, how unjust is this world to take from it such a beloved creature! I simply cannot handle this grief, so I'm going to use my tears on the Shikon Jewel to make these Rainbow Pearls, which are like Infinity Gems, I guess? Point is, I'm not even a demon anymore, except I'll still be immortal and young even hundreds of years from now, so maybe I am a demon still?
Riku: Um.
—End Prologue—
(Why does Lady Zero's entire disposition turn on a dime? Why does it take almost two hundred years for Riku to get ahold of the other Rainbow Pearls? I hope you weren't hoping for answers to any of those questions, because instead the episode takes us to…)
—Act One: Wherein Towa Is Very Bad at Listening to Directions. Again.—
Setsuna: Alright, sis, look. Moroha and I are going off to do…whatever it is we do in our free time. It's the new moon, and you're powerless again. We all know that everything you touch is immediately ruined, so I am begging you. Please. Do not go anywhere. Do not do anything. Just stay inside with Kaede. Got it?
Towa: Yeah, yeah, I got it! Geez. Hey, Kaede, how are—
Kaede:[Unprompted] Have I ever told you about how much you remind me of your mother, Rin? I lived with her for years, and when she disappeared after you were born, it broke my heart.
Towa: You've literally never mentioned any of this to me, even though we've been in Feudal Japan for…I dunno, a while? Anyways, I guess I'm mildly interested in this. What happened? Did she die?
Kaede: I dunno. Probably.
Towa: Huh. Well, what about me reminded you of her?
Kaede: She was…nice?
Towa: Neat. Oh damn, was that the Dream Butterfly!? [Towa immediately runs outside to get into some shenanigans]
Setsuna:[Miles away] Seriously, Towa, what the fu—
—End Act One—
(I don't need to go into any more detail about why it's so ridiculous that it has taken twenty-one episodes for Towa to show even a passing interest in one of the most important story threads that fans have been dying to have resolved, right? That's good, because we haven't even gotten to the next part yet…)
—Act Two: Wherein Things Get Really Dumb. —
Towa: Aw, man, I lost the Dream Butterfly! I guess I'll give up on that again for another season or two. [Enter Riku]
Riku: Hey there girl. Remember me? I'm that sketchy guy who always shows up at suspiciously convenient moments. I got you arrested that one time? I have an inexplicable knowledge of the villains' movements and plans?
Towa: It's tea time! [The episode becomes about these two sharing a romantic tea picnic, for some reason]
Riku:[A few minutes of unbearably cringy flirting later…] So anyway, I'm, like, all about these Rainbow Pearls. You know, the incredible magic artifacts that are lodged in you and your twin sister's eyes? I gotta snatch 'em all!
Towa: Oh yeah. That isn't even a little suspicious! I've honestly never thought about them much. What do they even do when you have them all together?
Riku: Who knows? Your powers would increase, I suppose. Or perhaps a devastating Degenerate Age could begin…[Riku gives a mischievous double-wink]
(Note: That is really Riku's line from the show, straight up. Even the wink.)
Towa: I have no follow up questions for you. At all. Not even one! It's a good thing that I'm out here, vibing with such an obviously trustworthy dude, especially since I don't have any powers tonight!
Totetsu: Surprise! I'm gonna kill you all, you motherfu—
—End Act Two—
(There's a fight scene here, it's nothing special. The only noteworthy thing is that Riku summons some awfully familiar-looking poison miasma bees. Oh, and he takes a bunch of bees to the back to protect Towa, which leads us to the worst part of the whole episode…)
—Act Three: Wherein…You Know What? Just Read It For Yourselves. Trust Me.—
Riku: Agh! Towa, I've got to tell you that I used to work for Kirinmaru, that guy who wants to murder everything you love. Well, I used to work for him, but we both have *separate* schemes for the Rainbow Pearls, so it's been kind of awkward.
Towa: Yeah, yeah. Whatever, sure. Have I told you that I kind of have a crush on you?
Riku: Oh. Well, that's nice and all, but I don't know if you heard— [Setsuna and Moroha conveniently arrive]
Setsuna:Towa, you had one job. How are you so bad at this? Plus, this Riku guy is definitely a creep! He smells like our worst enemy! It's weird!
Towa: I know, isn't it hot?
Moroha: Um. [Riku brutally decapitates Totetsu, leaving his head to gasp and twitch on the ground. It's honestly pretty metal]
Riku: I'm just so good at murdering things. Wowzers!
Towa: You see, so trustworthy! In fact, he's so trustworthy that I'm just going to give him my Silver Pearl!
Moroha: Wait, what!?
Setsuna: That is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing you could possibly do at this moment. What on earth would make you think, even for a second, that—
Towa: Already done, no takebacks! Byeeeeeee!
Riku: Um….Okay? Peace out, then! [Riku dips out]
Setsuna: Was that really okay, handing over your Pearl like that? With those Rainbow Pearls he'll have immense demon power. We can only hope that their rightful owner won't use them for evil… [Towa looks very shocked by this ridiculously obvious point]
Moroha: And wasn't Mr. Riku working with Kirinmaru?
Towa: That's right!? I changed my mind! Give me back my Silver Pearl!!! Riku, wait!
Riku: Haha. No.
—End Episode—
You know what the kicker is? That final exchange up there is taken word-for-word from the dialogue in the final scene. What more is there to say, when Yashahime's actual script becomes virtually indistinguishable from my bitter snark? It's one thing to try and blend some humor into your fantasy adventure story, but it's another thing altogether for the show to make its ostensible lead heroine into such an incompetent joke. This week's Half-Star of Pity comes from the single redeeming moment of the entire episode: Moroha finally got herself a corpse head to sell! Good for you girl! Now go buy yourself a hot meal, a fresh set of clothes, and a one-way ticket out of this show, because Lord knows it isn't doing you any favors.

A satire of How the Inuyasha world went to shit and Yashahime happened!
Before anyone reads any further, there are certain warnings.
Warnings: Mentions of the rainbow pearl being a secret porn stash with nefarious powers. Pedomaru is an imposter.
Trigger: Depicts trauma of an underage Rin. 
A poorly made imagine by an enraged fan, where only Sunrise Pedomaru ( read imposter) is a piece of shit but the rest are moral characters.
Note: Do not be like Pedomaru. Be moral, do not follow porn logic! I honestly did not want to but I realised there is no other sane way to somewhat absolve Sesshoumaru-sama and simultaneously keep it trashacanon. So, blame the plot!
-----How the conversations might have happened back then-----
Kirinmaru- Hey, you Naraku! I gave you life even after having severe case of racism... You have an important mission to complete.
Naraku- Kukuku.... I am the great Naraku-sama. Who do you think you are to make me your underling?
Kirinmaru- The dude who sent the demons materializing in your body. I am the one who turned you half!
Naraku- Fuck you! I am not your slave.
Kirinmaru- *grits teeth* Okay, fine, you youngsters don't know how to work without taking bribes. I would give you the chance to regain the Shikon and would allow your one wish upon it!
Naraku- *Smirks* All according to plan!
Naraku- So, what would you have me do?
Kirinmaru- Do anything, I mean anything but keep away that demon named Sesshoumaru from his home.
Naraku- Why?
Kirinmaru- *Inhales slowly* That guy's got a collection of pedophilia porn stash there, hidden in two rainbow pearls. He is not....and I repeat not to be allowed near his house and most importantly that porn stash.
Naraku- Why?
Zero- Because the Shikon has told me that there would be a union which would be a catastroph in making.
Naraku- So?
Zero- You dimwit, there would be Kids' as a result of his pedophilic relation with his human ward. Even we demons do not support such notions!
Naraku- Wow, never thought a guy could be more twisted than me.
Kirinmaru and Zero- No kidding! Just know that the union should not happen!
-------- 8 years later after Naraku's death-------
What no one will ever know is that the real Sesshoumaru was being kept captive in an underground dungeon and his twin brother, Pedomaru (a sick twisted pedophilic fuck) was postering as him and taking his place after Naraku’s end. He took the rainbow pearls the original Sesshoumaru was keeping away from him.
Zero- Bro, bro... Wake up! Sesshoumaru (she doesn't know he is an imposter) defeated Naraku and now he is spending time watching his porn stash and preparing gifts for his human ward.
Kirinmaru- *Slurs, half asleep* Ya? Go and burn 'em down and keep that kid away from him.
Zero- Yes bro, Imma on my way!
Zero- *Sends Root-head to cause havoc and distract Sesshoumaru. Meanwhile, she flies to his sky castle and steals the rsinbow pearls*.
-----Another 2 years later------
Zero- Bro, wake up! Terrible news, Sesshoumaru's gonna be a dad!
Kirinmaru- *Sits up straight and wears his horse mask to hide the disgust on his handsome face* Keep the kids away from the pearls at all cost!
Zero- Okay, on my way.
------10 mins later-----
Zero- I should have never allowed you near that porn stash. I am a terrible failure of an aunt!
Pedomaru- Zero!
Zero- Oh, you remember my name.
Pedomaru- How could I not. You have no clue what you did. I was on my last episode of 'Boku no Pico' and you took them down. I did not even get to know whether they....
Zero- *Eyes almost falling out of its sockets* Not only Loli but Shota as well??? You are the scum of this century!
Pedomaru- *Smirks* And that got me kids.
Zero- *Smirks* And the rainbow pearls with me!
-----Meanwhile on the other side----
Riku: Kagome-sama? You are the leg. Shikon priestess correct?
Kagome: Yes, I am!
Riku: I am Riku and I am a pirate.
Kagome: Yeah and I am the destroyer of Naraku and also an awesome time traveler. But such things are rocket science to you, Mr. unreliable narrator.
Riku: So, there's gonna be a comet and it's gonna bring calamity. Thus it should be destroyed by the inu brothers.
Kagome: Sure...... Because comets can also do other things...you know things other than setting the ground on fire or creating a hole on the ground... you know, like bringing literal darkness.
Kagome: Oh and Mr. Unreliable narrator, have you heard that my bro-in-law is a major creep who actually had sex with his daughter figure. I am sure the comet can do nothing more terrible.
------10 mins. Later. In a hut----
Inhabitants collectively: God, we should have seen this coming.
Kagome: Yeah, why didn't I take that tongue twister seriously?
Sango: Man, you telling me I have to see this shit happening to a girl the same age I was when I started slaying demons? I had hoped nothing worse could happen to a girl my age, think I jinxed it!
Kaede: Poor Rin!
Rin: *After birthing for several hours* Huh, only if I was an adult, I could have actually given birth without going through two miscarriages in the last two years.
Kagome and Sango: Sorry Rin, we should have never allowed you to go and stay at his palace for those two years. Back then we thought that he was your caring father figure. But, that bastard actually showed you such crap porn and coerced your consent! Rin, you should have reached out to us faster, at the time when he had started those things!
Rin: *With silent tears in her eyes* Yes, back then I did not understand anything. But I started understanding after my second miscarriage. Thus I sent Inuyasha-Sama that SOS. I am only thankful that he barged as my saviour at the right time! The least I could have asked for at this point is healthy kids. They look so beautiful. Finally I can hold them in my....
Pedomaru: *Saunters in and picks up the kids* They need to pass the rite of courage and cowardice.
Rin and the rest: Fuck you too asshole! You dare take them away with a shit like pass some rite. Keep your disgusting hand off them. Get outta here! Right this moment!
Jaken: *Tearfully* I will take care of the rest!
Rin: *Wails mournfully* I lost them again. The one time I could see them with my eyes, that nymphomaniac takes 'em away. Should have listened to Master Ungai back then!
-----In a forest----
Pedomaru: *Places the bundles of the kids on the ground and whips out the rainbow pearls holding his secret porn stash. Then he inserts said jewels in the eyes of each girl*
Jaken: *Erects a barrier that could easily be seen through by Zero* 
Zero: I order you to burn that place down. I am sure he's got some of his stash hiding in that tree. Get the kids away but do not forget to remove 'em, the main stash's in the kids' eyes.
------In a certain Shrine----
Kagome: *Kisses her daughter's forehead and hands her a beni* We had always decided that if we ever had a daughter, we would give her this beni. Keep this with you Moroha, it is an anti-pedo lipstick. It will keep you safe from your piece of a shit uncle.
Inuyasha: *Unsheaths Tessaiga* Kagome, the Pedo and his boytoy's here!
Pedomaru: *Zooms past Kirinmaru and digs into Inuyasha's eye and fishes out a black pearl* Finally found the secret porn stash of Dad. I had always wanted to get to this. Finally! *Seals off InuKag in the pearl and turns towards Kirinmaru* I hope this is fine. Let them watch some porn and educate themselves!
Kirinmaru: * Resets his mask lest it slips off and shows his disgusted face* Well, I guess it's fine for now!
Kirinmaru continues to side eye Pedomaru all the while ploting how to get rid of those porn stashes.
He returns to his abode and speedily creates some underlings.
Kirinmaru to underlings: I order you all to collect the rainbow pearls that are scattered around the continent. Remember, do not look inside them and never use them. They are weapons of great caliber.
Underling 1: *In a nasaly voice* Kirinmaru-sama what is in those pearls.
Kirinmaru: Listen carefully because I would say it once. Those pearls are secret porn stashes of dubious content. They should be removed at all cost. Find them and bring them to me. Oh, and never allow Riku to get a hold of them. That boy has already lost his articulate power of narration after he began that black market piracy of the rainbow-pearl porn stash.
The underlings all shouted in sync: Yes, understood Kirinmaru-sama!
And thus began Yashahime: A tale of twins who embark on a journey to save the world from the rainbow pearls and their wrath!
We sincerely hope they could choose their boat carefully! And the real Sesshoumaru is brought to justice. RIP Pedomaru, the imposter!

Why do you think Sunrise did that event in with Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs mirroring InuKag? They have already done that CD Drama, do you think they did that to give hope to the shippers? What if after so many hints, if they reveal in the anime that Sessrin isn't canon, aren't the shippers gonna be disapointed? This may be a dumb question and your answers are always smart and well-articulated, but i seriously don't understand their marketing strategy, do you care to explain for me?
Oh, hey there! I appreciate all the love you've been leaving on my blogs lately. I really hope I'm able to give you an answer you're satisfied with. Sorry it took some time to get back to you. I hope this makes up for it. 🙏
I'm not gonna lie, I'm up and down about how I feel about that livestream and what it means for the future of this ship. My brain has been on roller coaster mode since basically the moment the sequel was announced. We're in the home stretch now, and we better get the answers WE WANT the second that sequel comes out. Since it's evidently not going to happen anytime sooner- welp!
Before the livestream aired, I really thought us fans were on the verge of discovering the mom and that it was going to be Rin. We still had hope she wasn't, but at the same time most of us antis were "bracing for impact." lol
Then nothing happened.
We were pretty shocked but obviously relieved. The days before it came out, I was telling others (as well as myself lol) that just because Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs had a livestream together doesn't confirm anything. Besides, why does that have to automatically mean that both pairings need to be romantic? We all know how integral these characters are/were to each other's storylines, so these pairings make the most logical sense, wouldn't you say?
In the previous livestream with the voice actors who play Inuyasha and Kagome, they discuss the new character Moroha and introduce her as Inuyasha AND Kagome's daughter. Now let's compare that to the other livestream with Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs. When they described Towa and Setsuna, they did so as Sesshomaru's daughters NOT Sesshomaru and Rin's daughters. That to me is the most telling piece of evidence.
Like how could they not use that prime opportunity to tell us Rin's the mom when her voice actor was literally sitting right there??! We were all expecting it and they still insisted on giving us nothing! What this tells me is that it's possible this mom is a new character, and it even appears she is quite pivotal to the new series. I keep changing my opinion on that part though to be honest with you, because sometimes I think she won't be important at all in the grand scheme of things. (See what I mean about being up and down? lol) Idk about you, but it seems to me like we haven't even met her character. If it was Rin, why keep it a mystery? It's not like Sessrin's popularity is exactly a secret in this fandom. Why wait until the big reveal if it's "so obvious" in the first place? How does Sunrise benefit from hiding this information?
If it does end up being Rin, it would've been better to just come out and say it. If this ain't just pure fanbait like some of us still hope it is, why hold back? Give 'em what they want already and let us antis be at peace. If they hope to think that I'll change my mind and give this sequel a go just because I've waited this long so might as well, they're sorely mistaken. If anything, I'm going to be pissed they kept us in the dark this long when they could've just saved us all the trouble. I imagine that goes for a lot of us, shippers and antis alike. Whatever way you look at it, I won't be invested in this sequel if Sessrin goes canon- period. I cannot and will not be on board with a series that promotes such a harmful and insulting dynamic.
Which brings us to Sunrise's marketing strategy. Well, I definitely think they have been catering to the fans of this ship for quite some time now. Because, ya know, money. Whether that's because they plan to make this ship canon or not remains to be seen. "Show meee the moneeeeyyyy!" *yells in Jerry Maguire*
There was first the drama cd and more recently that calendar which included art of adult!Rin with Sesshomaru, but neither of those are canon first off. Also, does anyone know if it was actually confirmed to be pro-Sessrin fan art? I mean, I know it doesn't look very good when the artist who made it is a Sessrin shipper and certain fans are fawning over their OTP, but that doesn't necessarily mean the calender automatically is either last I checked. I wonder why it can't simply be Rin as an adult visiting with Sesshomaru. I believe in one picture she's seen giving him a flower, much like little Rin would've done, or just as any child does for a loved one. So if Rin is still bringing him flowers as an adult, I would assume that means their relationship dynamic hasn't changed at all. That's what's supposed to happen, too! If an adult's relationship was established with another person while they were just a child, then that adult will always view them as a child no matter what and vice versa. Even when those children become grown-ups, that won't change. That's just how things are, or how they're supposed to be rather. In other words, a normal healthy adult-child bond does not resemble one like Sessrin.
Both Sessrin fans and antis agree there haven't been any romantic implications between Sesshomaru and Rin in the original series. That's why I can't understand for the life of me why we're even having this discussion. Alas, here we are. This is what happens when society has conditioned us to believe that the only proper (aka "best") way an adult male and a young female's closeness can evolve is with romance. So maybe it's not obvious at first (because that would be illegal), but we should EXPECT their relationship to shift in that direction. Why, you ask? Well, simply because sexualizing young girls is the norm so why not, right? No clues or foreshadowing required! Because like I just said, that would be illegal. Fiction has loopholes for this kinda stuff, so problem solved?
Nope! Aging her up counts too, folks! When you look at a girl character and the first thing you think is, "I can't wait till she grows up so she can f*ck" then, yeah, you're a part of the problem. You may not realize it, but you are. That's not to say you're a bad person or that it's even your fault, just saying that there are times in all of our lives where we start to question some of our beliefs. If you not only support but desire the idea of a romance eventually forming between a grown man- yes, 19 is an adult- and a young girl, then you should probably ask yourself why that may be and re-evaluate. Please stop using cultural differences and history that dates back almost a thousand years to justify this so-called tradition.
"You all shouldn't think too deeply about this, it's just fiction! Ugh, you're ruining the fun! Antis should all just shut up! Only we can have problems, but when you do it's just complaining!"
Right....
And by the way, most of us are not even complaining. We're being critical of the content we're watching. Criticism isn't always pretty unfortunately.
If Sunrise and Rumiko do decide to go through with this, then I will disappointed, sure, but not surprised. Romanticizing these sexualized images of young or pre-pubescent girls has been happening for far too long, after all. We've become desensitized to it sadly enough, especially when the media continues to glorify it. I wish we'd realize how many young girls- or minors in general- we're putting in danger by sending messages such as this.
To you young teenage girls and even boys reading this, you may not fully understand right now, but it's never okay for anyone to tell you that your body being sexualized is a natural and beautiful thing. It's going through through a lot changes at your age, yes, but they should never use your curiosity to satisfy their sexual needs. Don't allow some of these stories to be an example of what is acceptable to occur in your own life if you were ever to encounter a similar situation, especially if fiction is all that you have to compare it to. It is not in any way, shape, or form okay for an adult to say or do sexual/romantic things to you. Even a conversation that may seem harmless at first could have dire consequences. No, not even if you trust them and they're one of your favorite people in this world are these things ever appropriate. What they're asking from you or showing you is dangerous, and even if it doesn't seem like it they are very likely taking advantage of you. If you're ever unsure about something, don't hesitate to come to me. Or maybe you have a loved one that you can go to, that works too. 😊
Idk if I even gave you a definite answer, but perhaps it's because I'm still figuring it out myself. If I ever do, ha! I hope by allowing you to get inside my head for a little bit you got a better idea. Or maybe not, and I just made it more confusing for you. Oops! lol Feel free to hit me up again, dear, and have a nice day/night!! 👋
