Inuyasha: Besides, Kagome is like my best friend.

Shippo & Miroku: Whoa!

Inuyasha: Sorry, my best female friend.

Sango: Hey! Woah- ah, I'm just kidding, I'm cool with that.

[creative-hanyou-girl]

So I'm watching the episode where InuYasha turns into a full demon for the 1st time and it got me thinking.

For all the times Inuyasha turned full demon he never ONCE went after Kagome. That is unless there's an outside malevolent influence or force trying to control Inu in his demon form, but even then Inuyasha fights against that outside influence while still in his demon form.

But when it's just InuYasha himself in his demon form without any outside evil to influence him, he's never attacked Kagome, or even the rest of his friends for that matter. Sure, Demon InuYasha's been weary of Kagome and the gang (especially during the 1st transformation) but he's never actually turned his claws against them and tried to attack them. And I have a theory that maybe its because Inu's demon recognizes Kagome and the others as people who are special to him. He doesn't fully recognize them, per se, but his instincts know on some base level that he cares about these people, ESPECIALLY Kagome.

Perhaps Demon InuYasha understands that these people are apart of his pack, and that Kagome in particular is someone who he cares a great deal for. *cough*his intended mate*cough*

Anyway, it was just something I noticed while rewatching this episode. Correct me though if I'm wrong.

Inuvember Part 2

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 day InuKag recommendation list: one fic per event prompt, all with a distinct InuKag (as OTP and OT3) flair. Since this is longer than our usual lists, we split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 16 Kohaku

Three Is A Crowd by Happy_Ocelot (G)

While stopping by to babysit his cute nieces and nephew, Kohaku comes to the horrifying realization that his beloved sister is in some kind of strange exhibitionist relationship. There were only so many times he could listen to his brother-in-law talking about hitting the ten or twenty children mark before snapping.

Good thing Kagome is there to help.

Humor, post-ending.

Day 17 Kaede

If We Fall Anyway by @soliska (M)

What if the shikon jewel didn’t exist and Naraku never came to be? What if Kagome fell down the well anyway and met a gruff, young inu-hanyou. Would they still become friends? What would be their story?

A tale told in snippets.

Day 18 Totosai

Mamorinuku by Nindeoronra (T)

Inuyasha commissions Totosai to make a new sword. Is it for him or for another?

Day 19 InuKag

Little Family by @xoxopandapanda (T)

Post Canon and A/U: Inuyasha and Kagome's family grows in time, starting with a little child who needs parents to teach him to love.

Day 20 MirSan

Shelter by @lavendertwilight89 (E)

Song fic inspired Stuck with You and Shelter

Inuyasha has been alone most of his life and one moonless night he gets caught up with a young priestess. She saves him and he, in return, helps her. What he doesn't realize is this priestess holds a lot of secrets which may or may not cost both of them their lives...

Day 21 InuKik

Kokoro no Kakera by @callmegri and @kirrtash (M)

She didn’t remember how she got there, only knew that it was warm, and soft. She hadn’t felt warmth since she was brought back to life. Where was she? What happened to her? The last thing she remembered was her reincarnation sitting on the ground next to that waterfall… She didn’t understand why Kagome helped her, again.

When a tired heart starts beating again, gravity itself has to rearrange to make space for it. But old wounds ask for closure before unspoken feelings can bloom, so all the pieces of shattered hearts can fit together.

Day 22 Sess Ships

In Hindsight by @mrfeenysmustache (T)

Hindsight is 20/20. Or.. it’s supposed to be anyway. A Drabble series about overcoming our misconceptions and all the little ways we talk ourselves out of happiness. InuKag Post Canon

Day 23 Kouga Ships

From the Hearts - and the Wrapping Company by @clearwillow (NR)

A gift for UnderwaterOphelia in the IYFF Book Club Secret Santa exchange. Christmas isn't going according to anyone's plans, except Koga's. Between the heat in the apartment making it feel like it's July and the endless boxes Inuyasha and Kagome keep finding, there has to be a good reason for the devious look in their boyfriend's eyes.

Day 24 Other Ships

There's Something In the Mist by @splendentgoddess (X)

A gruesome discovery in the forest is a warning that goes unheeded by the Inu-tachi who have no idea what demonic influences are at play. They will soon have intimate knowledge of what fate awaits them...intimate knowledge of each other.

Day 25 LGBT

The Real Me by @fawn-eyed-girl & @kalcia (E)

Kagome Higurashi is one of the top music journalists in the country, and her latest assignment is to write a story on one of the biggest rock bands in the world: Inutachi. She is immediately attracted to the lead singer, Inuyasha Masaki, a brooding, edgy hanyou who is battling his own inner demons. As Inuyasha and Kagome are increasingly drawn to one another, Kagome becomes more and more determined to discover just what has happened to Inuyasha that caused him to turn down such a dark path, and why she cannot seem to stay away from him.

Day 26 LGBT

Three's Company by @anisaanisa (E)

Threesomes were good. Threesomes were fun. Threesomes were safe. Threesomes didn’t involve feelings. Inuyasha’s in love with his best friend, and it takes five years and long-distance for him to get his head out of his ass.

Day 27 Platonic

Snoring Is the Sixth Love Language by @superpixie42 (T)

Somewhat against his will, Inuyasha finds himself sharing a hut and its one small futon with Shippo after a thunderstorm traps them in a foreign village. But Shippo's snoring means Inuyasha won't be getting any sleep, and instead spends the night alone with his thoughts. A three-year-gap, There Was Only One Bed Prompt fic, filled with found family feels. Rated T for language. Featuring art by Artnisa (AnisaAnisa) !

Day 28 AU

The Captain and the Hanyou by @goshinote (T)

In a world in which youkai have been forced into hiding after the Great War, Captain Higurashi is known as one of the cruelest youkai-hunting pirates. After Captain Higurashi kidnaps Inuyasha, a prized hanyo, a plan is set in motion. Inuyasha will find out Captain Higurashi is nothing like the stories say, and he will discover that nothing is truly as it seems...

Day 29 AU

Aurora by @thunderpot (T)

"It is said that a long time ago in the age of heroes — when Mother Earth was awake and the Gods walked among mortals — there was once a beast created by the Sun that fell in love with a great warrior."

A creative exercise from inuvember prompt: Myth Au

Day 30 Fandom Day

Like Shards of the Shikon (a multi-author/artist collaborative AU)

A little craziness that got too big for Tumblr. "Like Shards of the Shikon" is a live action television version of the popular manga 'Inuyasha'. Follow the actors as they live, learn, and laugh together. Expect fluff, laughs, a little romance on and off screen. A mixture of art and text - we're just making it up as we go. Join the general craziness!

A special shoutout to friend of the Archive @sometimes-icanstillhear-sitboy for creating a series of Inuvember fic-rec TikToks based on this list!

[a-writers-blurbs]

Curiosity Killed... the Dog?

I finally came up with a title & actual plot to tie the Tumblr Prompt work together!

How quickly curiosity can evolve into something...more. They say curiosity killed the cat, and satisfaction brought it back. But will Sesshoumaru be satisfied with the truths he must come to learn?

Sesshomaru joins up with the Inutachi in their seemingly never-ending hunt for Naraku. Purely out of frustration & curiosities sake. That his ward would benefit from the Miko & her kits presence had no baring on his choice. It was simply a fortunate bonus.

But where Sesshomaru expects to find proof that the Miko is no better than any other human, he finds something he's not quite ready to acknowledge or accept.

[hyperfixatedwhor3]

I feel like what we often forget when it comes to how hard it was for the inutachi and allies to kill Naruku is that it wasn't because Naruku was an extremely strong demon, it was because he was crafty as fuck. I'm not saying he's weak but his strenght wasn't what they were struggling with, it was with his disguises, his multiple bodies, his minions, the way bro was almost always hiding, Naraku wasn't exceptionally strong but he was exceptionally smart

[zymagines]

Can I please ask for Koga, Inuyasha and Bankotsu with a witch s/o (like Xiannang from Mulan)?

Hey there anon! I can do that, but I will confess, I've never watched the 2020 version of Mulan. I did watch the clips and read a little about Xianniang to get a good idea of s/o for this ask. I hope I got it right and hope you enjoy!

Koga

Koga's low-key going to be amazed by his s/o's abilities.

You can best bet he'll be bragging about how awesome s/o is.

He's also gonna be thrilled that there's someone that'll keep up with him and won't get left behind.

With it being aerial, that'll be even more awesome to him.

Koga and his s/o would be a duo you wouldn’t want to mess with.

Inuyasha

With a power like his s/o’s, Inuyasha is going to be pretty ecstatic.

This would make their fight against Naraku a whole lot more easier.

Inuyasha, not gonna lie, would also sorta be jealous of their abilities.

I mean, how cool would it be to just shapeshift like that.

Yeah, the inutachi would be a force to be reckoned with, if they already weren’t.

Bankotsu

The band of of seven's gonna become the band of eight with Bankotsu's s/o joining them.

Their powers and abilities prove to be useful out on the field.

Oh boy, add in the fact that his s/o can easily posses their enemies as well.

Bankotsu would also be extra protective of his s/o.

S/o would be a pretty big target and he isn’t gonna let anything happen to them.

For the Truth or Dare Asks!

Hello @dawnrider my beloved <3

🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?

Comments! Tags! All the chatter and all the shared loves. Im on mobile 99% of the time so DM's and asks are missed a lot :(

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

Oh, man, I've been dreaming about a post-cannon Inuyasha fic where the InuTachi go and rebuild Sango's village and collect all the various players from the series (like Rin, Jinenji, Shiori, Nazuna, maybe Souten too) and train them to be the next generation of demon slayers. The secretive nature of the demon hunter tribe plus their reputation gives the hanyous a lot of security so they end up flocking to the village and it becomes a haven.

I like to think some day *I* will write it best? But who knows xD

Truth or Dare Asks

[ap-kinda-lit]

Kagome: I’m here! Oh God, where is he? Where’s my baby!?

Miroku: You’re holding Shippo, Kagome.

Kagome: No, my big baby!

Sango: Do you mean Inuyasha? He’s right over here.

[kagekitsuneoflight]

I prommie I didn’t forget about my role reversals I just have not been able to write it <3. Take this as my apology <3.

For those who don’t know, the roles being reversed are Naraku and Inuyasha, because protagonist and antagonist role reversals are criminally under appreciated.

Unlike Inuyasha, canon!Naraku doesn’t really go hard with combat until midway through the series, well after he’s introduced. He opts for schemes and trickery and runs away when he feels like things aren’t going his way. And consider this, unlike his canon self, Reversed!Naraku hasn’t had those fifty years to help him understand what he can do. He’s had a couple weeks at most before he gets pinned and sealed to the tree.

The beginning of this story will be far rougher on both Kagome and Naraku, with two inexperienced powerhouses running around feudal Japan. A lot of “wait, you can DO THAT?!” From the both of them.

Naraku will be younger here! He doesn’t have an official age listed on the wiki, simply a very unhelpful “late teens to early twenties”. (Note: this is not about Kagewaki Hitomi, who is 23, and who’s body Naraku stole). So I’m just shrugging and saying he’s around 16/17 for this.

Consequently, Inuyasha will look older here. He wasn’t pinned and frozen in time for 50 years, and fighting to survive can really age a person. He’ll look like he’s 20.

Reversed Naraku will also be much less composed. He’s still young, still discovering what his chimaera of a body can do, and he’ll have to confront his past and learn to move beyond it.

The power dynamic between Kagome and Naraku will also be different than Kagome and Inuyasha’s. Kagome will end up being the heavy hitter between the two of them. Her abilities are much more straightforward, even unrefined as they are. Once she manages to aim properly she’s easily going to be the bigger threat than Naraku, who’s abilities are much more defensive and geared to crowd control.

The incarnations will show up! But not how we remember them :)

Of the original Inutachi, only Shippo will join their group. Sango will make guest appearances and will occasionally join up (maybe), but with her clan alive and well, she has no revenge to act on. As for Miroku, there’s a question on if he would even exist! Without a curse to fuel a vendetta that must be passed on to a child, there’s no reason for a child to be born, even if perversion runs in the family. And if a child IS born, what reason does he have to go back and claim them?

Inuyasha will take up the role of antagonist. He’s angry and bitter and he wants revenge on Naraku and if he can’t bring back Kikyo he may as well become the full demon like he always wanted, and he doesn’t care about who gets hurt or killed along the way. But… maybe there’s still kindness buried deep within him?

Sesshomaru has never been terribly interested in the group with Inuyasha in it, and I highly doubt that he’s even bother to remember them without Inuyasha. Though with how often Inuyasha seems to go out of his way to attack them, he knows it’s a surefire way to find his brother eventually. Naraku and Kagome get caught in the middle of their death battles constantly, with their go to strategy being “run away” “hunker down and try not to get caught in the crossfire” and “that one time we got accidentally pulled into their dead father’s grave to fight over a sword and we tried to hunker down but Kagome almost got killed so she accidentally yanked out the sword they were fighting over but both (half) brothers couldn’t even touch so then they were both getting ready to actually trying to kill her but thank god Naraku can fly with his barriers apparently? And while they were running Kagome and Naraku played hot potato until he accidentally absorbed the sword (two abilities discovered in one day. Jackpot) so now he has this super important sword in him and he can’t get it out so then they both lied and said they threw it into the sea the next time they crossed paths with Sesshomaru”.

Naraku also just supports Kagome pursuing education. In fact he gets pouty when she doesn’t do a review of her lessons with him.

In short: a whole lot changes but some things stay the same.

Beautiful Things

English Translation:

The morning sun shining in, the wagging tails of happy dogs and

The laughter of angels

God gives me a small wink as if to say

“Happiness is right here”

Rather than “winning” the “value” that lies ahead of the loss is the real thing

I feel like I finally get it now

So I returned a small wink to God,

“Leave it to me from here”

On days when the wind is strong, I’ll be your wall

On stormy days, I’ll be your umbrella

I’ll keep protecting you as long as I have my life

Even if fate turns its back on us

“Isn’t that a bit much?” you always laugh, though

That’s how much I love you, My Beautiful Things

Tu ru ru… Such a Beautiful Things

Until I encountered this landscape over time

I couldn’t think of it like this

As the things I want to protect increase, I become timid

But I don’t hate that part of me

On days when the sky is clear, let’s go to the ocean

Let’s try talking about the future

As long as I have this voice, I’ll keep singing

Even if the world talks behind my back

I want you to smile and say, “This is a cute song, isn’t it?”

Our Beautiful Days will forever continue from here on

I’ll keep protecting you as long as I have my life

Even if fate turns its back on us

“Isn’t that a bit much?” you always laugh, though

That’s how much I love you, My Beautiful Things

Tu ru ru… Such a Beautiful Things

Tu ru ru… Oh what a Beautiful Days

Tu ru ru… Such a Beautiful Things
