Recommended NCT Fics of July 2022💖

hello, hello! here are my nct recs of july! hopefully these beautiful stories will have more recognition as well as the writers 💝

** anything in parentheses and bolded are my thoughts that can be disregarded if needed **

🔞smut || 💔angst || 💕fluff || ✅completed || 🔄ongoing || 💯favorite

Foreign Feelings || @yutasbellybuttonpiercing 🔞💕✅💯

↳ Yuta quickly becomes your best friend, but what if he's more than that? He certainly lights your private parts on fire (in a good way), but the general problems of exchange students stand grandly in the way of you daring to admit your crush to yourself and him. A series of unfortunate events of your typical friends to lovers drama.

In The Rain || @sehunniepotwrites💕✅💯

↳ All this time, you were looking for love in the wrong places and in the wrong people. As a serial dater, you never thought you would find it in the pouring rain and in the person you trusted the most.

Not Ur Usual Love Story || @aehyei💕💔✅

↳ You love stories. If anyone would ask, you’d rather live in it then wake up another day in a world where everyone’s having the love story you’ve been daydreaming about. Of course falling in love with your best friend never came across your mind so it was a bit of a mess when you realized Jisung didn’t only view you as a ‘friend’.

Sun and Moon || @cinnajun💕💔✅💯💯

↳ your childhood best friend, donghyuck, claims he loves you. given his other friends and who he is as a person, you don’t believe him.

Touch || @yuta-nakamots💕✅💯

↳ As a first year student majoring in English, you would have never thought that you’d end up working for the sports news network at your university. Even more so, flirting with one of your coworkers who happens to be on the men’s volleyball team.

Allover Lee Haechan || @sugarjaee 💕💔✅

↳ haechan drove you mad, so much that when you kissed him everything made sense

Expert Adversary || @ncteez💕💔✅

↳ Your promotion was stolen by a new hire and you’re doing everything in your power to hate him for it. After all, that promotion was rightfully yours. This task proves to be much more difficult than anticipated because the man is nothing but sweet, polite, and eager to help. His dopey ways make it far too easy for you to accept that, maybe, just maybe, you’d be okay if he kept the position.

Slippin’ || @chicksung💕💔✅

↳ Three days a week, two teenage hearts, one boy to tutor and several missing assignments. If there’s one thing you’ve learned since you started tutoring the one and only park jisung, it’s that it’s not just his grades that are slippin

Can I Have a Hug? || @cinnajun💕💔✅

↳ a series of routines between you and your boyfriend, renjun, shortly after moving in with each other.

Come Inside Of My Heart || @purinpeach💕✅

↳ you and jaehyun travel together for the first time ever, and visiting the shiba inu cafe has planted some thoughts into your boyfriend’s head.

Can You Help Us? || @99ykhei💕💔✅

↳ who knew helping two little boys find their father would lead you to these events.

Traitor || @neocrackcitysworld💕💔✅

↳ you have been a bodyguard for the leader of Young Knives for as long as you can remember. your mafia gang has been topping the charts for crime for several decades now, but what is your leader's reaction when a new mafia gang overtakes them? does he choose to ambush them? or partner up with them? and most importantly, does it involve you?

Anima || @eeniemeeniechannie 💕🔄

↳ seven demon appearing at your dream saying they’re gonna take your soul away, without any doubt you agreed to them. everything was fine until you met them again, but not in your dreams anymore.

BMW || @aehyei 🔞✅

↳ After the party, Mark Lee decides to help your druken state and helped you climb in his BMW sedan. But after your teasing and the growing tent in his pants, let’s just say, the night turned into something none of you could ever forget.

Leave My Heart Open But It’s Still Empty For Days || @rosietaeyongswife💔✅💯💯

↳ yuta left his heart open but it’s still empty for days. (OH MY HEART)

Love Me Now || @peachbobbalover 🔞💕✅

↳ You are married to Jeong Jaehyun, one of the heir of SM family. You are husband and wife in the certificate, strangers to each other. You find pleasures in each other’s bodies but not yet in each other’s hearts. You know your sole duty is to continue his lineage and you would give him that but what Jeong Jaehyun wants is more than that. He only has eyes for you and won’t stop at anything until you finally look at him and sees him, not just for his good looks and good reputation, but for something beyond.

Smashing The Six || @yutaholic🔞💕💔✅💯💯💯💯

↳ there’s a notorious tradition at nct university - hookup with a player from each of the six athletic programs. bonus points awarded if you get any of them to fall in love with you. but don’t forget about neonet, nctu’s infamous social media app, where rumors get passed around like candy and no one is safe from having their business aired out for all to see.

Sugar and Salt: The Game of Trust || @rrxnjun💔✅💯

↳ in a game of trust, you and mark lee compete for 1 million dollars- just the right amount of money that could solve all of your problems. the rules of the game are simple: after completing three challenges, all carefully crafted to test your trust with your partner, the team that trusts each other completely, wins. you think you’ve got it all under your control and there’s no way you and mark aren’t the best candidates, however, you find out you’ve been wrong. because you know what they say– don’t trust everything you see. even salt looks like sugar. (that betrayal was real but lord jesus)

Summer Dream || @tensberryx 💕💔✅

↳ this summer was different. you reconnected with yangyang, who you’ve always had a crush on, and lucky for you, he happened to feel the same way.

Temptation (DILF Series) || @lisired 🔞✅

↳ Temptation is wanting something even if you shouldn’t. Wanting something even if it’s bad for you. Doing something that’s wrong yet feels so right. Temptation is bad habits and guilty pleasures, all wrapped into one. Temptation is, your best friend’s dad, your dad’s best friend, your professor, and your next door neighbor. In other words, Temptation is Johnny, Doyoung, Yuta, and Mark.

Ghosting || @cinnajun💕💔✅

↳ na jaemin is your soulmate; having known for about eight months now, you’ve been able to come to terms with the fact that you’re never, ever going to let him know it. (OR, a series of events in which you're forced to face your fate.)

You’re The One || @jaehyunnie77 🔞💕💔✅💯

↳ When a mutual dislike for each other turns into something more, just how far can things get complicated?

Do check out all of the other NCT Fics that i have reblogged as well!!

A short comic inspired by the old Japanese media franchise called “Sukeban Deka”,

(Here’s a short blog post about the franchise, if you’re curious kayokyokuplus.blogspot.com/201…). It is loosely based on both the ‘80s show Sukeban Deka ll: Shoujo Tekkamen Densetsu [スケバン刑事II 少女鉄仮面伝説] and the 1987 movie “Sukeban Deka” [スケバン刑事], in particular

Panel 1: Yoko Godai, a native of the Kansai Region town of Tosa, was once an orphan who lost her parents at a very young age. Ever since kindergarten she was often bullied by a bunch of sadistic classmates who forced her to wear an iron mask at the age of 8. Despite being very uncomfortable on her head, as well as being the main source of mockery for all the students at the school she attends, the mask somehow gives the girl supernatural physical strength, hardens her resolve to fight others who stand in her way, and slowly turns her into a cold-hearted sociopath. Some crazy local businessmen from the criminal underworld manage to take advantage of Yoko’s fighting skills, honed from constant brawls at school, and pit her against a few professional wrestlers, and once she triumphs in all the matches, the businessmen seek a way to prove that “The Girl with the Iron Mask” who causes constant mayhem for her fellow students and teachers is indeed the single greatest fighting champion of the town of Tosa. So they decide to pit the girl against a powerful Tosa Inu (pictured) who once earned a legendary reputation for winning every single dog fight without sustaining any scars or injuries. In a single match, she happens to tackle the dog head on with her bare hands and eventually kill it after a long, gruesome fight.

Panel ll: The Girl with the Iron Mask continues to remain a deeply troubled fellow who often gets involved in fights at school and terrorizes everyone around her. One day she gets hunted down by the police and is imprisoned in an immense juvenile detention facility (operated by a sadistic ex-JGSDF soldier known as Hattori) built with maximum-security features, along with a large bunch of other juvenile delinquents, whom she happens to subdue in a series of brawls held every night at prison. It is through winning those fights that Yoko gains the trust of her fellow prisoners and earns her reputation among them as a tough, stoic girl gang leader with a cold-blooded personality and no remorse for insubordination among her peers. Yoko soon devises a plan to liberate everyone from the juvenile detention facility and demand that the Japanese government should provide better, humane treatment for mentally insane school students like her. So one night, Yoko and her comrades successfully stage a prison escape (pictured) and, once they become national fugitives on the run, Hattori and his minions launch a full-scale operation to locate the girls and kill them all, whilst he takes advantage of the general public’s fears of Yoko Godai as a cold-hearted monster on the loose with the use of a brilliant propaganda campaign; Through posters, loudspeakers mounted on moving vans, and radio/TV PSAs, Hattori promises a reward of one million yen for anyone who takes part in capturing her or bringing her back to him alive.

Panel lll: Nishiwaki, Assistant Director of the Japan National Police Agency’s top-secret “Sukeban Deka Project”, which is based in Tokyo, catches Yoko Godai on the orders of Director Toshiro Yamamoto. He removes her iron mask, and offers her an opportunity (pictured) to take the name and role of Saki Asamiya a legendary crime-fighting schoolgirl of the 1970s who once was the first “Sukeban Deka” or “Delinquent Girl Detective.” She was killed by nuclear radiation after she tried to rescue her fellow students from a nuclear accident caused by an unknown, high-ranking villain. Yoko initially refuses the offer at first, but changes her mind once Nishiwaki promises that he would help her find her missing parents in exchange for her service.

Panel lV: So after a single week of intensive crime-fighting training, Yoko Godai is given the alias of “Saki Asamiya” in honor of the first Sukeban Deka, assumes her place as “Sukeban Deka No. 2”, and is given the same powerful red-colored steel yo-yo which was Saki’s trademark weapon of choice. As an undercover police agent, Saki Asamiya soon recruits two other crimefighting schoolgirls who join her cause: The Osaka native Kyoko Nakamura and the Kyoto native Yukino Yajima. Together the three girls would fight a wide assortment of villains such as youth gang leaders and other strange criminals. In one instance Saki vanquishes two Mohawk-wearing Chicano-wannabes who were cocaine lords with the use of her yo-yo (pictured). Saki and her friends also defeat the nefarious Hattori and his scheming minions and bring them all to justice.

Panel V: At the end of each day spent on fighting the villains and bringing them to justice, the three Sukeban girls would go on short, pleasant trips together in and around the city. Here they are watching a sunset on the outskirts of a few suburbs (pictured).

Just asking cause I haven't seen one around (Though I am fairly new to the fandom) but is there an Inuyasha ship/pairings gift exchange type thing that occurs for authors and artists to, well, exchange their works among themselves?

Anyway, here's a discord I've been putting together if anyone is interested. Happy to talk more about ideas there!

A little gift for @dawnrider for the Inu-Gang Exchange 2024!

You can read this little drabble here.

Summary: "No one's ever tried to jump to their death from seeing me take a piss before," he said, setting her legs on the ground. "First time for everything," she mumbled as her knees gave out a little, and she clung to his t-shirt a bit more to steady herself.

Personality type and traits: ISFP

(INTROVERTED;SENSING;FEELER;PERCEIVING)

Personality description:

Ikani is mostly self-aware of reality’s hardships yet tend to keep up an ‘’whatever goes, is what happen and I cannot potentially do anything to change that.’’ carefree, reckless, will only believe when she has seen attitude that pretends to be a healthy optimistic nihilist way of dealing with life but when unmasked turns out to be a faulty uncertain self-hate of pessimism that pretends to be optimistic or a realist way of thinking and solving problems. This can badly affects her creative ability to do any problem solving, thinking outside the box or standing up for herself and the people she loves alone unless she has encountered that situation before or has help from someone with far more experience. She does not rebel that much to authority or dictatorship as she believes rules are rules or the law is the law and whatever unintended consequences that follow or reports of abuse of power are normal and natural but she’s open-minded and adaptable enough to consider changing rules and regulations peacefully if she’s convinced or confident enough. Either way, Whatever happens is whatever happens in the present and she won’t make any effort to neither change or preserve any rules or laws that much. She, most of the time, follows whatever happens in the present world with no consideration for the consequences that would follow because she doesn’t like to think philosophically or overthink.

Habits:

Stimming, flapping hands around, running around in circles when stressed, excited, happy, confused or afraid if she can’t bottle up her emotions, Running away from problems as much as possible (literally and figuratively) and bottling up her feelings. Also tends to get distracted and daydreams a lot yet when it’s her turn to talk about herself she goes a little overboard which can put off people and assume she is selfish. (when it’s just a habit she does)

Character morality alignment:

Lawful Neutral <-> Neutral Good

Name Etymology and Shenanigans 1:

Ikani Rinyu once translated from Japanese to English respectively means ‘’How’’ and ‘’Renew’’ forming the phrase, ‘’How renew.’’

Name Etymology and Shenanigans 2:

Mess with the letters on Ikani and you’ll get ‘’Ikanai’’ which means ‘’Don’t go’’ referring to her brother, ‘’Ika’’ which means ‘’not exceeding’’, ‘’Kanai’’ which means ‘’Flower’’, ‘’Kani’’ which means ‘’crab’’, ‘’Ikan’’ which means ‘’Fish’’, ‘’Ani’’ which is another term for ‘’brother’’ and ‘’Ni’’ which means ‘’to go’’

Name Etymology and Shenanigans 3:

Mess with the letters on Rinyu and you’ll get ‘’Rin’’ which means ‘’Cold’’ in Japanese and ‘’Dignified’’ or ‘’Severe’’ in Italian, ‘’Inu’’ which means ‘’Dog’’, and ‘’Rinu’’ which can mean ‘’Freelance of flowers’’ and ‘’Beautiful’’ or ‘’Pretty’’ in Indian.

Zodiac and Planet:

She is an Aquarius and is assigned the planet Uranus based on her zodiac.

Backstory:

Ikani Rinyu was born as a second child to a worker class family (Rinyu family) who mostly had time for her. Many years went by and her parents had to focus on things they deemed far more important in order to sustain a family with regular income. Her family’s income condition worsened when the day before Ikani 7th birthday, She, her brother and her parents were robbed of a lot of yen at gun-point by a gang after they went to the store and bought a digital tablet for her as a gift (because they felt as if they were neglecting Ikani because of work). After the incident happened, Ikani's mother divorced with her husband because it turned out that Ikani's father had connections with the gang that robbed them and never told her about it. Another reason for her parents divorce is that both of her father and mother had an underlying conflict in which both were never really interested in each other and only agreed to marry back when they were friends so that they can decrease their tax and avoid debt and they both felt guilty about divorcing each other because both felt that they were selfish with their underlying mutual motivations for marriage, they were still saving up money and investing and couldn’t afford to divorce early, and that divorcing will affect their children greatly if they will be honest about it to them at an early age (suprise suprise, bottling up your feelings worsens everything, yourself and everyone around you). This robbery incident went mainstream after the time Ikani’s mother divorced Ikani’s father and her remaining family was secretly interviewed by a group of ''journalists'' and this is how (insert academy name) found and scouted Ikani just so they can replace and -cover up an ultimate's death.- So her mom and the group of journalists made a contract in exchange for financial gain and basically free education for Ikani and her brother and also medical + financial insurance. Ikani started setting things on fire (mostly flowers, sticks and wood) on ‘’accident’’ just to gain attention from her busy mom, brother and everyone else she was close to and was forming a relationship with, in which her ‘’habits’’ slowly spiralled and developed into impulsive Pyromania because she felt that she was never loved enough + with her parents divorce taking a toll on her (her brother tried to help but also didn't know what to do and was busy with their own school). Around this time, she also felt like eating would decrease her family's money greatly so she tried skipped eating snacks at school but not basic meals yet she still developed peptic ulcer. On her 11th birthday, Ikani’s brother finally took a stand and consulted a ‘’reliable’’ therapist/psychiatrist and a dietician (who helped with the insert academy's goals) despite it being expensive and discouraged by her mom. Her therapist/psychiatrist then noted to her parents that Ikani should focus more on expressing her emotions in more artistic and creative ways in order to cope with her bottled up emotions, trauma and urges and using the digital tablet she got at age 7 when everything was still relatively alright should be a good head start. Her dietician also helped her with resolving her peptic ulcer and convinced her that she shouldn't feel bad about eating extra snacks and set out a diet for her to follow. Soon, The academy’s contract money given to her parents was enough to sustain her creative urges as Ikani eventually learned to create moving and still digital artworks including complex 3d and photography by simply using her tablet that had limited features over the years despite her age as she contributed to many famous and iconic company logos, designs, presentations, artworks, animations, movies, edits and videos that are found in the media. Over the years, Ikani secretly wished that the contract would stop as that diverted corporate's financial wants for themselves because of her hidden relations with the academy journalists and she wishes she was never born and regretted that time she was too ''needy'' at age 7 (she shouldn't blame herself though) but never took her own ground against it to her mom as she felt like she was selfish for wanting to do something her mom didn't desire so she ended up ONLY EVER venting her emotions through her work/hobby and sometimes forgot how to express her emotions.

Reasons for acting the way she does during the killing game:

The reason why she doesn’t vent her emotions and only bottles it up during the killing game is because just like in the original Danganronpa series, Monokuma would confiscate your belongings that allowed access to communicating with the outside world (and it just turned out her only venting item was a digital tablet that would probably screw up Monokuma) Also, it’s because the idea of ‘’Survival of the Fittest.’’, ‘’Being weak will kill you.’’ and ‘’No time for crying because it is not yet over’’ is in her head all the time + fear of being impulsive again and accidentally resurfacing her Pyromania and basically rendering her brother’s efforts to help her with her problems useless so yeah she’s guilty of wanting to feel emotions so she eventually becomes numb to the things happening around her. All of these are her ways of justifying being emotionless, being unintentionally ignorant and coping with loss and grief in a dangerous game that could kill you any moment.

(INTROVERTED;INTUITIVE;THINKING;PERCEIVING)

Personality description:

Really really intentionally and maybe unintentionally paranoid, superstitious, ‘’weird’’ passive-aggressive and lonely since it's his way of avoiding unnecessary conversations that could drain out his energy for him to save up on topics he deems far more important (philosophy + theology) and people that could potentially hurt him again unless they specifically ask him or want something from him for a short // limited amount of time and say it extremely extremely politely to the point where he feels pity or someone out-smarts his passive-aggressiveness causing Cyl to do your favor immediately out of embarrassment, anger, frustration or getting flustered. Most of the time, Cyl has a rather nihilistic and pessimistic (but sometimes, realistic and optimistic at times) views and mindsets of life and would rather die rather than following strict regulations // rules. Although he is a passive type of Nihilist and knows there isn’t that much value in life despite searching it (even with religion), He still is sort of a coward and ends up helping other people out of pity, jealousy, admiration or respect and will still be willing to fight for people’s rights things society deems unworthy despite the odds and his diminishing motivation on doing so. Cyl prefers to be individualistic, thoughtful, overthink for hours, alone and free when it comes to him making decisions or going onto places. Although he’s an INTP, He allows his emotions to run wild at times (even if in the process, hurting other people whether he realizes it or not) which allows him to make thoughtfully calculated decisions without having the burden of emotions and mood. Because of his defiance against the norms, He can usually think outside the box and think of solutions quick enough to solve an underlying problem on time in an creative yet messy analytical manner. Also yeah he struggles following rules.

Habits:

Praying a bit too much than usual, Rapidly cleaning visor goggles // reading glasses even when not needed, Limping hands and fingers to relax hand tendons, muscles and bones and tugging at Hanukkah snow cap when embarrassed / flustered.

Chaotic Neutral

Ramblings and crazy theory time about GK chap 211 “Furious Shiraishi”

Welcome everyone to what I label THE SHIRAISHI CHAPTER as SHIRAISHI IS AWESOME IN THIS ONE!

But let’s start with order and more exactly by the editor’s note.

Yeah, I normally don’t care about it but I was pointed out by various people as how ‘Asayake wa ame no zenchō’ (朝焼けは雨の前兆。 “Morning glow is a sign of rain.”) is a Japanese way to say that seems to match with ‘Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning’ which is actually also sort of referenced in the gospel of Matthew:

‘When it is evening, you say, "It will be fair weather; for the sky is red." And in the morning, "It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening."’ [Matthew 16:2b–3]

My gut feeling is that it’s a coincidence, as this is also an old and very common piece of wisdom, but still it’s interesting to see another tie to Matthew’s gospel.

The rain though, likely refers to the ‘rain of arrows’ at the end of the chapter… unless the editor wants to tell us this is the prelude to some serious troubles.

Anyway… let’s now dig into chap 211, ‘Furious Shiraishi’.

It should be early in the morning and Sugimoto is outside the inn, looking thoughtful when Shiraishi joins him. He has clearly drank a lot and a woman is supporting him.

We always knew Shiraishi likes to go to the red district and drink a lot but I wonder if part of why he did it this time is due to the situation they’re in.

Shiraishi had to cope with Kiro’s death and the truth of what the man had done as well as being left to fend on his own when he was used as a target by Vasily and discovering Sugimoto has switched allegiances and joined Tsurumi, which translates in Sugimoto planning to hand Asirpa (and Shiraishi) to the 7th in exchange for 200 yens.

It’s not an easy bunch of things to cope with so I wouldn’t be surprised if Shiraishi has just decided to get himself plastered.

Anyway Shiraishi comments on how Sugimoto can’t fall asleep, which might be Shiraishi’s way to tell him Sugimoto has a guilty conscience tormenting him and then goes on, commenting the soldiers will be there today and Sugimoto will hand Asirpa to them and will become Tsurumi’s pet.

The word he uses to be exact is ‘Kaiinu’ (飼い犬 “Pet dog”).

Shiraishi used that word in the past as well, when he was just introduced, to ask Sugimoto if Asirpa was his ‘Kaiinu’ (飼いイヌ “Pet dog”).

You might remember Sugimoto got angry back then and this is because the word is actually an insulting wordplay that takes advantage of how the last part of the word aINU (アイヌ) is ‘Inu’, which written with this kanji 犬 means “dog”.

In the past I theorized Shiraishi used such word not to insult Asirpa, but to insult Sugimoto for using her as such. Now I wonder if he’s using it again to cause Sugimoto to be reminded of that circumstance and of how he is selling Asirpa and himself to Tsurumi.

Sugimoto isn’t pleased with Shiraishi words but he’s not as angry as back then. He’s sweating and I think that’s because deep down he fears Shiraishi is right and that he’s selling himself and Asirpa off to Tsurumi.

Shiraishi suggests that if Sugimoto were to gang up with Tsurumi, it was better if he were to do it right when he was caught up, which is another veiled jab to how, back then, he and Asirpa had to pull him out from that situation and now he’s basically betraying their own group by selling Asirpa and not worrying about Shiraishi getting his own share of gold.

Sugimoto, sweating, complains claiming that now the situation is different and even now he doesn’t care about what Tsurumi plans to do for Hokkaido...

...which in my books isn’t really a good excuse as what Tsurumi is planning for Hokkaido will be clearly harmful for Asirpa and the Ainu and, deep down, Sugimoto knows and should care about it.

It’s interesting how Sugimoto will sweat for most of his conversation with Shiraishi, showing us how uncomfortable he is with it.

Anyway Sugimoto then tries to persuade Shiraishi of the purity of his own intentions.

With an earnest face he claims Tsurumi won’t use Asirpa, he is not like Hijikata who wants to drag Asirpa and the Ainu in a war so this would be the best option for Asirpa, Shiraishi should agree to him, Sugimoto after all knows better than everyone and he means well so why Shiraishi isn’t agreeing?

Well, I too think Sugimoto means well, but he clearly doesn’t know better than everyone, actually he doesn’t know at all since he isn’t even considering the consequences Tsurumi’s plan for Hokkaido will have on Asirpa and, I think, deep down Sugimoto is aware of this as well, of how his plan might not be so perfect, that’s why he couldn’t sleep. Sugimoto was afraid he was screwing up, he just wasn’t ready to admit it.

Anyway his ‘Sugisplaining’ (word courtesy of Merdopseudo) doesn’t work with Shiraishi, Shiraishi is not a young girl with a crush on him that can be easily persuaded, Shiraishi is a man older than Sugimoto and who also has grown a lot from when they had parted at Abashiri.

Shiraishi tosses in Sugimoto’s face that although he insists in throwing around Asirpa’s name he was aiming at getting some gold for the widow he loves.

Sugimoto admits he and Tsurumi has an agreement so Tsurumi will pay him ONLY the money he needs to pay her medical expenses.

That’s why Sugimoto asked for 200 yens, which is the price for the travel for ONE person plus the medical expenses, instead than an amount big enough to cover the travel for two people (himself and Umeko). He likely believed he would feel a little better at selling Asirpa off, if it was solely for Umeko, that this wouldn’t mean he’s selling Asirpa off for some money, because it wouldn’t be Sugimoto who would get the money, just Umeko.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be him, but he still would benefit from it as that money would help him heal the woman he loves, giving him an excuse to go back home and, potentially, helping him to go back into Umeko’s grace.

Shiraishi points out Sugimoto is still selling himself although for a cheap amount and then asks which will be the share he’ll receive instead.

Shiraishi was, after all, part of their group in exchange for some of the gold but Sugimoto didn’t even consider Shiraishi in all this mess as he never asked money for Shiraishi nor what would Tsurumi do with him.

On a sidenote I love how many expressions Shiraishi has in this chapter. Noda really went out of his way to give Shiraishi a different expression in each panel. This piece is great.

Shiraishi then slaps Sugimoto, as hard as he can I’ll say, complaining about how he didn’t get into this for a small amount of money.

Honestly I doubt Tsurumi plans to give something to Shiraishi and I think Shiraishi knows this as well. However I think the whole thing isn’t Shiraishi really complaining about money but Shiraishi wanting to get a rise out of Sugimoto who, predictably, slaps him back claiming money is filthy and Shiraishi can only think at that… as if Sugimoto hadn’t asked for money as well.

Yeah, Sugimoto has a ‘noble’ purpose for asking for money but the point is the same, he wants money and therefore he shouldn’t judge others for wanting it calling them ‘greedy’. After all, instead than trying with all his strength to collect that money with legal means, Sugimoto had tossed himself in a gold hunt in which he planned to kill people to get money (originally a lot more than just 200 yen) so, although he plans to use for different things because different things would give him happiness, he’s still into this for the money, not for the adventure or the justice or whatever.

Sugimoto after all made clear in chap 113 he believes having a lot of gold can bring happiness.

Anyway, after throwing up, Shiraishi verbally attacks him again, asking him if he is really trying to sell him he is guiding Asirpa toward the right path when he doesn’t even have the authority to do so as she’s not his lover, wife or daughter but her own person.

Shiraishi accuses him of having persuaded himself that he’s doing this because ‘now he has something he wants to protect’ when it’s just that Sugimoto is being pathetic and weak and afraid to take risks.

Sugimoto is trying to chose the easy way out, telling himself it’s the RIGHT way out and painting it as a noble course of actions when talking with others.

I wonder if, deep down, Sugimoto got so angry at Ogata shooting him because he actually got afraid he could die there. Abashiri took a toll on Sugimoto, he sustained a lot of damage and then almost died to Ogata’s shoot.

Sugimoto is someone who hides fear behind confidence and who swore to kill first whoever were to try to kill him.

Maybe his whole behavior through the Karafuto travel is also meant to hide it, that he hadn’t psychologically recovered yet by Abashiri, that the situation had turned too big for him to handle and that he wants out. He wants to keep Asirpa out of troubles, he wants to hand the money to Umeko, and, most importantly, he wants out from danger.

So yes, in wanting to keep Asirpa pure and safe, it’s very likely Sugimoto is projecting A HUGE LOT of what he wishes for himself, it’s him who has enough and wants to go back to hunt and say ‘hinna, hinna’ with Asirpa or eat dried persimmons with Umeko without having to worry about losing people.

In a way it’s pretty sad because his wish is really, really human.

In fact we see that as Shiraishi talks Sugimoto sweats a lot, a sign Shiraishi has hit right on the mark again.

Shiraishi points out how the travel through Karafuto caused Asirpa to grow and change so that she’s not the little child Sugimoto knew before...

and then voices my feelings on their whole relation from the point they met again till now.

They had met again but they are still far.

It’s something I’ve yammered about often in my meta, how although Sugimoto and Asirpa were back together their interactions weren’t as good as before, they felt forced and they didn’t seem to understand and support each other as before. It was as if they were making an effort but they were just two strangers playing friends, and didn’t seem anymore the close partners they were before.

It was painful to watch them.

Shiraishi then goes and defends Kiro’s actions.

It’s worth to remember again Kiroranke was Shiraishi’s friend.

Shiraishi, in a way, understands Sugimoto way better than Sugimoto thinks as Shiraishi lost Kiro due to Kiro being a partisan so he can very well fear Asirpa would end up meeting the same path.

However, as he claims Kiroranke didn’t lie to her in regard to the minorities we have one of the few instances in which Shiraishi calls Kiroranke just ‘Kiroranke’ and not ‘Kiro-chan’. That’s because he’s taking him seriously, speaking of him with respect.

And although he calls him ‘Wazawaza kuso majime’ (わざわざクソ真面目 “Annoyingly fucking serious guy”),

something he said also when he died (‘Majime sugiru otoko tattanda yo Kiro-chan wa sa…!!’ 真面目すぎる男たったんだよキロちゃんはさ…!! “Kiro-chan was just a man who was too serious…!!”)

I think now Shiraishi is finally understanding Kiro and his ‘seriousness’.

[Just to clear things up ‘Majime’ (真面目) means ‘seriousness’ but also ‘earnestness’, ‘diligence’, ‘honesty’, ‘soberty’, ‘gravity’, ‘steadiness’ and ultimately ‘one's true character’ so it’s has a positive connotation.]

Kiro might have been ‘too serious’ where Shiraishi used to tend to think to his own self interest, but he was also the guy who stood and went to save that Orok in need, when Tsurumi’s men just told him to come back on his own when Shiraishi was targeted by a sniper and wounded.

Kiro was a man who helped others at the price of his own life, even when he hardly knew them and didn’t need to, this was his greatness.

This was, deep down, why Shiraishi loved him, loved that man that, at their first meeting, without even knowing who Shiraishi was, jumped in the river to save him while Sugimoto and Asirpa remained there watching.

Shiraishi, who previously cared only for himself, preferred to chose the easy path and only recently had learnt to care for his close friends, had managed to understand BEFORE SUGIMOTO that what Kiro wanted to pass to Asirpa about the Ainu was important for Asirpa, that what he told her was the truth… and that if Asirpa decides to fight for the Ainu, the best they can do for her is to support her, not tell her to turn her back to her own people and wash her hands clean of their problems.

Sugimoto wants to call himself Asirpa’s partner but Shiraishi points out how a partner should support her decision, that this decision is for Asirpa to take, not Sugimoto…

…and Shiraishi also thinks that supporting her will help Sugimoto as well… because Shiraishi actually cares for Sugimoto too and understands he’s feeling bad and would want to help him as well.

That’s why he’s scolding him. Not for the money and not just for Asirpa but because he’s friend with all of them, Kiroranke, Asirpa, Sugimoto, and wants the best for them.

After this wonderful talk who basically summed up all I wanted to say and do to Sugimoto… well, Shiraishi throw up and then falls on the ground, spent.

I’ve always wanted Shiraishi, who’s older than Sugimoto and who travelled with Asirpa and Kiro, to be the one to slap some sense into Sugimoto… but I also knew Shiraishi is not really that assertive or prone to go outright against Sugimoto and also was mourning about Kiro so I was afraid he might not feel up to deal with Sugimoto.

I’m beyond delighted Shiraishi managed to do it and in such a wonderful way. Sure, maybe it would have been better if he hadn’t been drunk… but I think the whole thing probably helped him to pull out what he had inside (and Noda might think it would make the scene lighter and funnier…)

Sugimoto needed this wake up call, needed someone to point out the flaws in his reasoning, their selfishness and wrongness, and not just toward Asirpa but toward Shiraishi, toward Kiro and TOWARD HIMSELF.

Sugimoto’s choice was wrong on all the line but Sugimoto is not really good at acknowledging his mistakes so he needed a friend to do it for him and Shiraishi was perfect in this.

Really, just for this Shiraishi, as far as I’m involved, deserves the whole amount of gold and with no curses attached. Long life Shiraishi, he was great.

Sugimoto is thoughtful and still sweating as Shiraishi remains on the ground. Shiraishi’s talk should have made an impression but apparently that sadly wasn’t enough…

At least not yet, so here Sugimoto is, to welcome Tsurumi with Asirpa, Tanigaki, Shiraishi, Koito and Tsukishima as Tsurumi comes, when, after Shiraishi’s talk, I was hoping Sugimoto would just go straight to Asirpa, face her and ask her what she really wants and then support her in it.

Sugimoto isn’t an unsure person like Tanigaki could be, Sugimoto’s problem is the opposite, Sugimoto is so confident in himself being right he has hard time to back out of his own decisions when they are CLEARLY wrong.

Koito is ahead of everyone, Tsukishima behind him.

There’s a sweat drop on Koito’s face and even if he’s smiling it seems forced and he seems stressed. To have Tsukishima right behind him should feel like having Tsukishima’s rifle barrel pointed at his back, so this is not a pleasant situation for him.

Tanigaki, the guy who went around claiming HE would bring Asirpa back to Huci, that this was HIS duty, catches his chance to tell Asirpa SHE should ask Tsurumi to let her visit her grandmother as Tsurumi SURELY wouldn’t refuse to let her do this.

Yeah, sure, and in the meantime he would take notes of where Asirpa’s grandmother is and see if he can use her as blackmail material as he did with Ariko or it would be better to use Osoma or Makanakkuru. You know, just to play safe.

But the real thing that hurts me, is not Tanigaki’s naïve view of Tsurumi.

What hurts me is that Tanigaki too ultimately sees Asirpa as a ‘prisoner’, because if she needs Tsurumi’s permission to go back to her grandmother, this hints she’s no free to go there without Tsurumi’s approbation. What’s even worse though is that Tanigaki has claimed more than once bringing Asirpa back was HIS duty. Instead than telling her SHE should ask for it, Tanigaki should expose himself and volunteer to do it for her. Because if Tsurumi is SO UNDERSTANDING really, why Tanigaki can’t do it but have to tell to a young girl to ask for permission to see her grandmother from a man she doesn’t know and that’s holding her captive?

What is he afraid of?

Also really, Tanigaki should worry about his own family and of how he has skipped going back to them to bring back Kenkichi’s last words and ease their grief on Fumi’s death over and over, not of how Asirpa should go back to her grandmother. Talk about pot calling the kettle.

On another side the fact that Tanigaki seems ready to finish his sidequest by speaking up to encourage Asirpa to go back to Huci, seems to hint that he believes murdering Kiro was his purpose in life and doesn’t need another. That, or he has given up on being a Matagi and is planning to go back on being a soldier because opposing to the ‘oh so understanding’ Tsurumi isn’t his thing.

*sighs* I’m afraid for Tanigaki, really, as somehow I don’t think this will develop well for him, even if he’s finally ready to let go of his sidequest I’m not sure he’s ready to embrace his true quest, going back home.

Besides, Tanigaki should really remove his rose-tinted glasses in regard to Tsurumi.

Tsurumi is a clever manipulator who could care less about the Ainu and kills whoever goes in his way, not a kind daddy who forgives his misconducts. Tsurumi used him and Inkarmat to discover Sugimoto’s moves and then he went to Abashiri and exterminated whoever was there, criminals and guards alike.

Luckily Asirpa doesn’t swallow Tanigaki’s words, she had seen how Tsurumi tortured Sugimoto when Sugimoto was captured and she might have caught glimpses of what the man did in Abashiri, but gives Tsurumi the benefit of doubt, by claiming she’ll understand which sort of person he is by looking at him.

Well… Asirpa must be really confident in her ability to judge people correctly with just a glance because first impressions might be wrong and Tsurumi is a master in manipulating others but… we’ll discuss about this later.

The info box tells us Tsurumi has managed to bring with himself only 16 land troops but we see around him only 10 men, among which Kikuta and Usami. There’s no sight of Nikaido. The group is no friendly looking, their faces either shadowed or hidden by their hats and Tsurumi’s whole figure is mostly heavily shadowed as he moves from behind his men to in front of them, as Noda likely wanted to give the impression Tsurumi would come out from darkness.

Tsurumi starts by praising the Karafuto advance party for their good work, claiming he had no doubts they would manage to do it.

Koito smiles but there are many stress lines under his eyes and he doesn’t seem his usual overjoyed self. I wonder if his smile is more a smile of relief, as in ‘he didn’t notice how I was faking being happy’ or it’s just that a part of him is still pretty of ‘Tsurumisexuality’. Koito has been fawning over Tsurumi for so long, crushing on his so hard I think although he knows what Tsurumi did, a part of him could still refuse to acknowledge all this and just want to be praised by Tsurumi.

Tsukishima has his usual expression.

Interesting enough Tanigaki’s face is shadowed, even if there should be no need for it. Does Tsurumi’s words mean something more for him? Was it Tsurumi who prompted him to murder Kiro? Is he ashamed of how he handled the mission? We’ll see.

Sugimoto’s face is shadowed too and his eyes are hidden by his hat. Sugimoto is probably still affected by Shiraishi’s words, he knows what he’s doing is wrong but he has no backup plan.

Tsurumi removes his hat, and we can see the heavy shadows on his face are disappearing as he asks if the ‘Ojōsan’ (お嬢さん “Miss”/“Young Lady”) in front of him is Asirpa. He’s polite in his question, friendly.

The following page can be cut in two parts.

In the two panels above the visual focus on Asirpa, we can only see a bit of Tsurumi’s back, while we get a close up of Asirpa’s serious face. The bottom part instead are all flashbacks of Wilk, specifically focusing on his eyes, the last showing how Tsurumi checked Nopperabo’s corpse’s eyes to make sure they were of Wilk’s same colour so as to insure Nopperabo was Wilk.

We see Tsurumi in the next page, commenting Asirpa has Wilk’s same eyes.

Tsurumi’s eyes instead are big, dark and the sclera is shadowed. A corner of his mouth is up but the other isn’t as he comments Asirpa clearly has HIS (Wilk’s) eyes. Does he think at his own child as he watches Wilk’s child? Does he wonder if Olga would have grown up to look like Asirpa if she were to have the chance to grow up, if he had never met Wilk and his companions?

Hard to say but from the way Asirpa looks at him she doesn’t seem positively impressed… and I wonder if, from Tsurumi’s sentence, she has understood Tsurumi knew her father PRIOR to the man becoming Nopperabo, if she sensed in him her father’s enemy.

Shiraishi throws up, distracting Tsurumi, and Sugimoto notices Asirpa grabbing 5 arrows, 5 as the shoots of Sugimoto’s rifle.

How in such a short time Asirpa managed to move the quiver that was over her shoulder under her arm is something I’ll let someone else speculate. Actually my impression is she had worn it upside down so that she could take the arrows quietly from the bottom instead than have to reach for the opening from above her right shoulder.

Asirpa has a very cold and impassible face as she does so, while Sugimoto is clearly shocked to the core.

With a smile Asirpa tells him she can decide her own future by herself…

...because Asirpa is just this sort of awesome character who won’t let anyone talk her into something in which she doesn’t believe. Sure, at times she might be confuse or hesitate or something but then she’ll always manage to find her own way.

Sugimoto’s ‘Sugisplaining’ techniques are ultimately wasted on her. Asirpa, despite her young age, is the sort of person who takes charge of her own life and I love her for this.

Tsurumi is surprised, Tsukishima is shocked but Sugimoto finally connects the dots and nods. Now he’s finally back on being her partner and understanding her and, as she tosses her arrows high on the sky, and then they start to fall down, toward Tsurumi and his men, pulled down by the force of gravity, Sugimoto yells those are poisoned arrows, causing panic in Tsurumi’s men as we can see them all starting to sweat. Well, them all except Tsurumi.

Not that it changes anything as Usami and another soldier push Tsurumi on the ground, protecting him with their bodies and basically stopping him from doing or seeing anything.

Tsukishima hurries everyone to dodge as Tanigaki just stay there, looking up. 4 arrows hit the ground, one narrowly missing Koito who, interesting enough, had done no attempt to protect Tsurumi, very differently from how he reacted when O-gin had attacked him.

Kikuta asks if everyone is all right while Tsurumi, always the clever one, manages to get up and yells Sugimoto and Asirpa have run away, as this was clearly the first thing Tsurumi expected and checked (who cares about his men).

Now… I don’t know how far Sugimoto and Asirpa think they can run. Even if Koito, who’s Tsurumi’s fastest runner, were to somehow make an excuse not to chase them pretending he has no idea in which direction they had escaped, Sugimoto and Asirpa don’t have that much of an advantage and Tsurumi’s men have rifles and they might even know how to use them so they could at least catch sight of them and shoot Sugimoto down.

There’s also to wonder about the 6 men that weren’t with Tsurumi but that Tsurumi carried with himself. Did Tsurumi predict the possibility of such a situation and put them on standby in a better location? We’ll see.

Anyway Sugimoto and Asirpa run away, Sugimoto commenting he noticed those arrows weren’t poisoned and, due to this, he figured Asirpa’s intention to escape (and not to murder).

Asirpa points out how, IF they are partner, she doesn’t want to hear anymore from him she can’t do something but that he should support her by telling her something like ‘let’s do it together’.

Really, Sugimoto, when an adult man needs to take lessons from a child on how to be a good partner, I worry.

But well, I love Asirpa’s expression now, she’s confident and back to her holder self. This is the Asirpa we all love.

Sugimoto, conveniently forgetting in this way he’s betraying Tsurumi, agrees, claiming they don’t need anyone’s help to find the gold.

His grin too is back on being the old Sugimoto’s grin. I like to hope this is the sign they’re back on being close again, as they were before the Karafuto arc started. Maybe I’m wrong but I want to hope.

And yeah, this could be a great ending, with Sugimoto and Asirpa finally, FINALLY back to how they were before, it if wasn’t for the ‘note of humour’ Noda decided to add by showing Shiraishi was hit in the head by one of Asirpa’s arrows and remained behind.

Shiraishi doesn’t know the arrows aren’t poisoned and wonders if he’ll die.

What upsets me though is that Shiraishi was great in this chapter, he was for them both the best friend one might wish and they… left him in Tsurumi’s hands. Sure, he’s the escape king but Sugimoto could have grabbed his arm and dragged him away with them, just to play safe.

Really, I didn’t need another joke on how Shiraishi goes always hit/bitten in the head, I would have wanted for them to escape together and be back on being the awesome trio they were.

I guess Noda wanted to focus on the Sugimoto/Asirpa duo… but I still think Shiraishi deserved to be there, escaping with them.

Also Noda explained Ainu arrows are very light and completely lack in stopping power… but I’m not sure they wouldn’t be harmful should they hit someone’s head after such a fall. Honestly, I fear Shiraishi could get a concussion, never mentioning the point is sharp… so well, I really didn’t want poor Shiraishi to get hit. But well, we can’t always get what we want.

So this is how the chapter ends. In a way not much happened… but the little which did was AWESOME.

What will happen to our trio from now on? Will they manage to go back to Hokkaido or remain some more in Karafuto? Will they meet up with Ogata? Will they go search for Sofia? Will they drop by again to where Wilk’s village was?

Maybe it’s a little too early to guess it but I feel as if the Karafuto arc is, in a way, finished. Regardless of the group remaining in Karafuto or not, the travel back and forth has ended and their goal now is different. We’ll see where it’ll carry them.

What the new chapter will be about?

The 7th? Koito? Tanigaki? Hijikata? Ogata? Sofia? Vasily who has disappeared by some chapters but, I bet, is still keeping an eye over the group? Or our trio as I expect Shiraishi to escape and join them asap? We’ll see but really, I can’t wait!

I got Mortoboe for Creature-exchange this month!

1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?

This was the prompt. The whole thing was pretty easy to understand, but I'm glad they included a reference image for what kind of clothes they were looking for, because hipster doesn't look like that where I come from haha

2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?

I couldn't decide between human or anthro, so I just did both. Two characters for the price of one? A shapeshifter? An AU version? Your choice! The human is meant to be Japanese, since that's what shiba inus are. I was going to give them a tattoo but Japanese culture tends to frown on tattoos, due to them being generally associated with criminals and gangs (the yakuza, especially). So maybe they were raised more traditionally.

As for the design itself, all I knew for sure is that I wanted latte swirl leggings, and the rest of the design was built off of that. The shiba inu is actually the same colors as the leggings! I went with a neutral looking gender presentation. Also I wasn't up to figuring out how anthro glasses stayed on so I ended up just saying the arms of them hook up over the back of the ears from below, rather than in front.

I had a blast, and I hope they're to your liking!

Note

this is really random but i've always wanted an episode on the new moon where inuyasha just goes with kagome back to her time?? like?? he would be safe from naraku plus he would blend in better and he and kagome could do fun stuff in her time?? i want it!!! also i've always wanted an episode where kagome practices archery and upgrades her bow or something..

well anon…. this inspired me soo.. I hope this helps hold you over (~^o^)~

(i was going to do the kagome practicing archery too but i accidentally made this kinda long so i’ll most likely make it into a separate post!! if you want!!)

New Moon, Different Era

The new moon had arrived, which played specifically into Naraku’s own benefits.

The rustling of leaves chased the gang as they made their escape out of the depths of the forest and back to near the bone-eater’s well. The darkness of the night crept behind them; slowly, but surely, stealing away any hope for light. Each of the member’s eyes widened as they became, nearly, submerged in the inadequate amounts of youkai that refused to back down unless they retrieved the jewel from the priestess.

“Kagome-sama!” Miroku shouted as he whipped his staff back and forth, holding back the hundreds of youkai. “You must return to your home!” he slugged another few. “It is the only way you will be safe!”

Kagome plopped up her eyebrows, “I can’t do that!” She shot an arrow towards the growing number, “I can’t just leave you all in danger!” Her voice echoed and was carried off into the wind; she continued shooting her arrows, refusing to even consider the offer.

“Kagome-chan!” Sango exclaimed from above. “It is you who they want!” Kirara circled her and Sango back around, “You need to be safe!”

Sango and Kagome shared a look for a moment, but was forced to refocus their attention on the accuracy of the bow and hiraikotsu.

“Sango-chan…” the girl breathed for a second once the coast was, some-what, clear.

She then took a look around and realized how hard Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Inuyasha, and even Shippo were fighting. The sounds of flesh and demonic screams continued to roll about into the atmosphere which made Kagome realize that it was she whom was putting everyone in danger.

The girl took a step back closer to the well; her hands trembling with fear due to the horrific sight. She could hear the crunching of the grass beneath her, but she silently begged them to stay quiet so that they wouldn’t alert any of the youkai.

Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo continued to hold off the rest. Each new batch of sliced flesh made Kagome tremble a bit more. Inuyasha was off into the middle of the action, but was only barely keeping up.

“INU-INUYASHA?!” Kagome exclaimed as soon as she saw the wide open wound from his side bleed without discrepancy. The blood was so loose and fluid. It jumped from left to right as soon as he swung his sword. “S-STOP!! IN-INUYASHA!!”

Miroku heard the ruckus from behind him and swung his head to the right only to see the boy quickly slowing down. Kagome had a jolt of energy and used it to jump towards Inuyasha, but Miroku intervened.

“No!” he put out his hand to a halt. He rushed over to his friend and grabbed him, throwing one arm over his shoulder. Inuyasha tried to fight back, but the blood loss continued to grow.

Miroku let the boy lean over Kagome’s shoulder instead, “Take him with you.”

“Miro-”

“Inuyasha!” Miroku raised his voice, which was something he rarely did. “You are about to die out here,” he rid his face of frustration and sweat. “With this new moon, it’s best you be kept safe too.”

“Uhhh, houshisama?!” Sango yelled from up top. “Could use your help here!!”

Miroku nodded his head at her and gave the two before him a stern look, “Go!!-” sticking out his right hand- “NOW!”

Kagome held on tight to Inuyasha as he lugged his own weight. He groaned in pain as the blood from his wound continued to drip. The two didn’t exchange a word because both knew what had to be done or else Inuyasha would die.

She kept her grip around the boy as she tugged up the vines for the both of them. Her pull was tight yet sweaty from all the heat she was exerting. Inuyasha tried mumbling something like, “K-Kagome… D-Don’t” but that didn’t make the girl flinch.

The two moved as quick as a snail up the leafy rope, but it was only a matter of time before Inuyasha would bleed out.

The thought of this traumatizing result motivated Kagome to pull harder and quicker, carrying the weight for the both of them – like Inuyasha always does. The sweat raced down from her forehead to her chin; she was not going to let him die.

Just as Kagome felt her strength escaping her, the two were out of the well and in the shrine in a flash.

“Inu-” she huffed and puffed trying to regain her breath- “yasha…?”

The boy gave her a smile and a slight nod, which was just about the last of his strength.

Obnoxious crickets chirping, aromas of flowers, and sweet-smelling soap awoke Inuyasha from his daze. His head was spinning, his ribs in pain, and the feeling of the youkai’s claws could still be felt.

“Hey hey!!!” Kagome rested her hand on his wound. “Relax, Inuyasha. You’re fine now.”

Inuyasha lifted his gaze from hers only to be greeted by pink walls and incredibly soft sheets, “Keh!” He pushed himself up, “I am f-fi-”

Kagome, thankfully, quickly caught him mid-fall, “You are sooooo stubborn!” She rubbed his side and fluffed the pillow beneath his head, “Can’t you take it easy for once?!”

“If we are going to defeat Naraku-” he sighed- “I cannot take it easy.” He turned his head, facing the wall, “You know that, Kagome.”

She sighed in understanding, “I know.” She kneeled, placing her arms on the bed and resting her head on it, “But Naraku isnt here, you know that right?”

Inuyasha furrowed his brows and scoffed, “’Course I know that!”

Kagome’s eye twitched, “Yeah well-” she laid her hand over his, a thought suddenly coming to mind- “Let’s go, Inuyasha!”

“Wha-?!” the boy tried pulling away from her grasp- “K-Kagome?!”

“W-Where… a-are…. w-we?” Inuyasha hid, overtaken by fear, behind her.

Kagome sighed at his silliness, “Relax, Inuyasha.” She could still feel the poor boy’s hands trembling, “We’re just at a movie theater.”

“Mo-vie th-eater?” he took three seconds to enunciate.

Turning around, she slowly nodded her head, “Yes, we are here to watch a movie.” She fixed his collar, “It’s where people pretend to be other people on a fake setting and we laugh, we cry, we enjoy it.”

“Sounds like something Naraku would do-”

“Eh!” she pointed her finger harshly beneath his nose. “He does not exist here, Inuyasha.”

“F-Fine…,” he bit his bottom lip. “Are you sure this ‘movie’ isn’t as dangerous as your ‘tests’?”

She gave a small chuckle, “If that were true, you would’ve already tried to kill it.”

If Kagome had known how much of a pain Inuyasha was going to be in a public setting, with loads of people altogether in one room for an extended period of time, she would’ve just stayed home and forced him to watch Sailor Moon with her.

If you don’t understand her pain, it went a little something like this:

“Kagome, what is that?!”

“Kagome!! Who is that?!!”

“Why are these ‘fake’ people doing ‘fake’ things, Kagome?!”

“Kagome?! Are you even listening to me?!”

“This guy… next to us… I don’t like how he’s looking at you…”

“Is this corn… really… popped?”

“I swear to you… I’ll beat this guy the hell up…”

“Woah!!! Kagome!!! Did you see that?! How’d that happen?!”

“This guy lucky it’s the new moon…. otherwise I’d beat his-”

“Kagome!!! Those explosions are huge!! What if someone was killed by that???”

“Ka-Kagome…. what are these… people… doing… with each…. other…?”

“How could he KILL HER?! I THOUGHT HE LOVED HER?!?? KAGOME?!??”

“Keh, I’m better than that guy… eh, Kagome?”

“Hey…. why are these girls… staring at me…?”

“Do you think it’s the black hair? Kagome?”

“HEY… WHAT DOES THIS GUY ON THE SCREEN MEAN ‘I LOVE YOU’?! YOU KNOW HIM, KAGOME?!?!!”

“What is life all about, Kagome?”

“Inuyasha…. shut up.”

It was almost midnight by the time the two had finally made it back home and, by that time, one of the two’s hearing and energy began to give out.

“Kagome!!” Inuyasha exclaimed from behind. “Let’s watch another!!” His screech bounced off the walls, “I want to see more fake people on fake sets!!!” He rushed to grab her hands, “You were right, they’re not dangerous at all!!”

“INUYASHA,” her voice blowing the hair out of his face. “A-Aren’t you…. tired?”

“KEH! I don’t sleep, silly!” he grabbed her hands once again. “Come on, Kagome!!”

She lowered her head in sadness, until another idea came to mind, “Say…-” she tugged on his gentle hands- “How about we play with fake people in a fake setting?”

“Y-You can do that?!” his ears twitched and hands shook with excitement; he didn’t know what to do with himself.

“Yes,” she yawned for a few seconds. “But if I beat you… we’re going to sleep.”

“Sleep?” Inuyasha lifted one eyebrow and tapped his chin in thought. “You ain’t better than me.”

FINAL SCORE:

KAGOME - 15

INUYASHA - 0

the next morning

“Kagome?! Can we go to another movie?!?!”
