when Discord shenanigans lead to doodling a practically nonexistent rare ship.

remember Kagewaki Hitomi? The human lord that Naraku basically hijacked and took his face & body? Well, apparently before Naraku killed and invaded this guy, he had a crush on Sango.

unfortunately, Naraku gets to Kagewaki Hitomi first. See episodes 24-25.

Ergo, may I present the headcannon that will live rent-free in my head:

Hitomi had been watching over Sango all these years...and then one day, while Sango is out to silently lament at what her life had become, he appears in her time of need...as a ghost of sorts.

telling her she's gonna be alright

even with an absent husband and the ever-bustling chaos that comes with raising her children alone

because she is, and always will be, loved. but Sango, with trauma from dealing with Naraku, is having a hard time separating the vision of the kind Lord and the evil hanyou who slaughtered her family.

...MirSan fans please don't come at me.

Sheep’s Clothing [Inuyasha]

Naraku & Kagewaki Hitomi x Reader [cis-female]

Note: Can you imagine how fucked up it’d be if you were married to Kagewaki Hitomi?

C|TW: 18+ not for minors, noncon

♦︎ Kagewaki Hitomi. A young feudal lord who cherished his wife and did everything in his power to make her happy. You were his everything so it’d only made sense that he spoiled you with his riches and love. Though he was a feudal lord that title never came up in your relationship. He was only ever Kagewaki to you, even at his worst.

While gossip within the castle walls is inevitable, Kagewaki was more than willing to punish or remove anyone who had something negative to say about you, his beloved wife. You weren’t noble by any means and most likely came from a humble life. Yet, he expected everyone to treat you with respect or he’d take it as a personal offense.

♦︎ Kagewaki loved to whisk you away and take a scenic walk around the castle just to have a moment of peace with you. The little things mattered most to him, even if they seemed mundane. He appreciated all his time with you and didn’t take a single second for granted.

Though he was a man of high status, his touch was never rough or demanding! During this time there were plenty of men who viewed sex as a means to an end, not once considering a woman’s feelings about the act. But it was more than just an act to Kagewaki, who always wanted your eager consent when he craved you. He didn’t just use you for his own pleasure or personal gain.

♦︎ I imagine that you were away visiting another village during your husband’s encounter with the spider demon. Maybe to see a friend or catch up with your family that you were more than welcome to visit if you wished. Either way, you weren’t around when Naraku slaughtered most of the people within the castle. One of them is your precious Kagewaki Hitomi, who loved you dearly.

♦︎ How could you have known that something was off when you returned home? Naraku is a hell of a demon, his acting and manipulation skills aren’t to be taken lightly. He could take on the role of a weak, lovesick, noble if that’s what it takes to get the shikon jewel shards. It’s child’s play!

“Kagewaki’s” eyes remained soft when looking at you, his voice didn’t raise when he spoke to you, and his touches were still the sweetest. It’s no wonder you’re oblivious to it all. You don’t start to see the truth until Naraku becomes annoyed at another failed attempt to collect a jewel shard.

♦︎ In his anger, Naraku slaps the fuck out of you when you enter your shared room. You are too stunned to move from your place on the ground. When you look up at who you believe to be Kagewaki, he says that you did nothing wrong, that he only needed quick relief and already feels better.

Not sorry, forgive me, or it was an accident. This man said he did it to feel better! After seeing Kagewaki at his lowest point along with his highest, you never believed he’d raise a hand to you. Definitely didn’t think he’d do it to make himself feel good. You’re stuck! What could you possibly do now that he’s hurt you after years of being his wife? You could leave but then he’d stop supporting your family. He could send for you and have you murdered for “betraying” the castle.

♦︎ As if that wasn’t bad enough, the four children you’ve had with Kagewaki aren’t faring any better. It’s like he hates them all of a sudden. Their cries annoy him, he can’t be bothered to read to his daughter anymore. You had to take a hit to the chest when you caught him trying to strike your son. It was clear that Kagewaki had changed! You don’t know why or care to hear the story, all you wanted was for this to end.

His mood had changed drastically when you decided to take the kids to your parents. Almost like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, it was sickening! If you had any doubts before they were erased after watching him glow now that the kids were gone. It was a good thing you gave your parents enough money to find a new place to stay. Anywhere far away from you and the village since you couldn’t trust Kagewaki not to come after them.

♦︎ That Onigumo may have cursed him with “affections” for that damned Kikyo but your husband wasn’t able to leave a single print on his soul. Therefore Naraku doesn’t hold an ounce of love or weakness for you. He could cut you up and feed you to his demons without a second thought. He could drag you to your previous village and make you watch as he has them slaughtered. It would be nothing!

He won’t do it though. At least not so soon since he loves toying with this new hole of his. Not a human, not a person, but an object he uses to relieve stress. That’s all you are to Naraku. You’re in danger like the rest of humanity.

♦︎ Rough! He’s so rough! You have bruises and scars from his rough treatment. He pulls you around without regard for your body’s limitations. Your arm had popped out of its socket once when he suddenly snatched you from your seat. His nails are sharp as blades yet he doesn’t care to rip your garments to shreds, pleased to see the blood escaping your new wounds.

You’ve been limping around the castle doing your best to stay out of his presence since he gets off on your pain. Due to his selfish nature, you’re never quite ready to take him, and he doesn’t prep you before sheathing himself to the hilt. While you’re writhing in pain from the sudden stretch and burn, Naraku only seems to get more excited and lustful.

Kagewaki would have never done something so heinous, so painful to you his beloved wife.

♦︎ You’ve realized long ago that the Kagewaki you fell in love with was no longer around and that he was never coming back. But what could you do now that a powerful demon has taken his form and refused to let you go? You tried to run away from Naraku, you’ve learned was his name, the day you witnessed him remove his head.

He was livid when he dragged you back inside the castle before you could get far. Mad enough to crush your left rib cage and threatened to devour you if you pulled a stunt like that again. While the offer was tempting since you didn’t want to live another day with the demon, your fear of dying was still strong.

♦︎ What could you possibly do now that your precious Kagewaki Hitomi was never coming back?

“Discussing the Shikon jewel with someone who is alive only through dead souls is unseemly.”

Naraku, you’re literally made up of dead demons. You restored your body by having demons kill and absorb one another. You don’t get to comment on Kikyo being a walking corpse. 😑

[sunyoungpeony]

The young lord Kagewaki has a long-term illness and is unsure how much time he has left in this world. Despite this uncertainty, he asked Kikyo to marry him. With great sentiment, I present my heartfelt fanfic for @kikyo-weekend —a humble tribute to honor and cherish Lady Kikyo.

Looking at a post on Inuyasha, have you ever read the double meaning of the name of Naraku's human alterego, Onigumo?

Besides meaning Oni Spider, Onigumo is also a reference to Tsuchigumo , a type of spider monster with an Oni head much like the one that made a pact with Onigumo. However Tsuchigumo did not originate as just that.

Tsuchigumo the Yokai originates for a term, meaning pit dweller or cave dweller, referring to a group of people that refused to recognize the authority of imperial Japan, as such those loyal to the Emperor & imperial japan demeaned them by comparing them to spiders living in a cave.

Onigumo was a disfigured & disabled criminal living in a cave, a reject from Japanese society living in a pit.

Ohoh! Very interesting! I just looked it up and the wiki also says that Tsuchigumo appears in many different forms. Now, that sounds like Naraku/Onigumo we know as well. Also Onigumo in Inuyasha story is indeed a notorious bandit as well, he was not a random nobody.

Another thing that interest me is Naraku chose to take Kagewaki Hitomi's appearance, a daimyo's son(part of Emperor hierarchy) 👀.

Having chosen two different good looking vessels for himself, I'd love to believe the original Onigumo was quite a looker before he got burnt. (Or at least he has a good taste which entitled him for a good face to steal)

Thanks for the fun fact Anon. I wish we get more of ONIGUMO

[sasukeheaven]

Say what you want but, these two looked good af together… not naraku btw I’m talking about kagewaki

[mosscaller]

I honestly would love to have known more about Kagewaki Hitomi, before Naraku killed him. He seems like such a soft hearted and kind man. ...you can see the drastic change once Naraku has his face. It's upsetting, and I feel for the guy. He was just very sickly and probably could not fend off such a violent attacker.

[narkiknation]

This is Kikyo and her daughter, Fumi- as a little kid. Female Naraku-Kikyo KID version..huehuehue...

[madamephantom]

would've really been funny if kagewaki hitomi's staff was just still working at that castle and ignoring all the weird shit going on

[jakotsu-stan-blog]

Honestly rip to Kagewaki the hottest man in feudal Japan he was gonna be my pretty boy fave and then Naraku fucked that up

[kawaiikawaiikawaii]

[avionvadion]

Yup. It’s post Band of Seven in Chapter 452. We’re looking at Onigumo’s soul, so it’s like the closest we get to his actual face. Manga has a lot of fun things like when Inuyasha gets drunk he acts like a puppy and chases butterflies and bites people rather than punch or sword and stops Sango by grabbing her sleeve with his teeth.

That is the most upsetting face reveal ever. 😭 We can hardly even SEE his face. And oh my gods I’ve SEEN shots of those Inuyasha moments but I had absolutely no context for them. I thought it was just him being a silly lil’ guy. That’s hilarious.

Honestly, I wanna chalk the similarities to it just being same face syndrome, but Hitomi DOES have the same voice as Naraku. Even before he was possessed by him, man sounded identical to him. So there could be something to that theory of yours of them actually being related.

I still think it’s more a matter of Naraku being vain and wanting a super pretty face, though. Otherwise I don’t think we’d have gotten so much emphasis on Muso trying to find the “perfect” face and settling on a pretty boi monk.

It’s hard to say when there’s no close up on Onigumo’s original face, so all we have to really go off is the hair style.

[sunyoungpeony]

Kagewaki couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in Kikyo's presence. Her dedication to her duty as a priestess and her unwavering strength was truly remarkable. But again, it was her beauty that left him spellbound. He knew that he would follow her to the ends of the earth, guided by her grace and beauty as much as her wisdom and strength. Kikyo was more than just a shrine maiden - she was a force of nature, a beacon of hope, and a vision of perfection.
