Kagura Week 2020 - Day 4: Avarice
"remember that time you let me die? Here's how you can make it up to me"
âOh, I like these.â
Kagura feels silly saying it, but the situation itself is ridiculous to begin with, so whatâs a step further? As it is, the man behind the table is scared shitless. She doubts that his fear of her would be muted by how simple minded she sounds, the man behind her, thoughâŚ
Probably a bigger contributor to the traveling vendorâs dumbstruck expression. The village has gained a certain reputation for all things mystical, and even the merchants that wander through have begun to wise up, but there are still the few who havenât that come through selling their wares. Kagura on her own can pass as human, but Sesshoumaru is much too ostentatious to go unnoticed.
Regardless, the vendor just nods limply when she holds up the sapphires to the light. She grins, and pulls the jade beads from her lobe, replacing them so that she can admire the tear drop shaped gems in her ears. Sheâs always worn green, to contrast with her eyes, but the blue reflecting in the sunlight does look quite niceâŚ
âWhat do you think?â
She glances back at Sesshoumaru, joking, and as always, his face is neutral, but his gaze flicks to her ears and he gives an almost imperceptible nod.Â
Her grin widens, and as much as sheâs loathe to do it, she asks: âHow much?â
The man tells her and Kagura reaches into her sleeve to retrieve her coin purseâit hardly matters that the money is stolen to begin withâbut before she can count out the payment she hears the loud clink of metal on wood, and when she looks up she catches sight of Sesshoumaruâs claws pulling away leaving two golden coins in their wake.
âItâs taken care of.â
And heâs walking away before she can say anything, leaving her and the dumbstruck merchant with the same expression.
âŚ
She tries it again, a little while later, during a summer festival where merchants have come from the countryside to sell their wares. Theyâre more accustomed to the way of the village and its oddities, so she gets less stares this time, but she does have to wait to time it just rightâÂ
âOh, this is absolutely, beautiful,â she coos, holding up a midnight blue obi, splattered with white dots, patterned to look like stars. âHow much?â
The woman tells her, and once again, before Kagura can lift a finger there is already money being deposited in the smiling womanâs hand. Without a word, Sesshoumaru is already walking away, leaving Kagura to stare at his retreating back, thoughts racing through her head.
âŚ
She doesnât bother with âthank youâs, because if thatâs what heâs looking for then he wouldnât run away so quickly, and she doesnât offer to return the favor, because heâs never asked anything of her and she doubts that a few gifts will change that now. It doesnât matter what his reasoning is, Kagura is not a humble person by natureâSesshoumaru of all people should know thisâin fact, even she would call herself quite selfish.
Which is why she keeps doing it.
Soon enough itâs not just the odd traveling merchant, or a street vendor. She finds that his generosityâif she can call it thatâdoes not stop with silently buying her trinkets. The presents are just the start, because once she sees the crack Kagura is more than happy to exploit it.
She says she needs a new tie for her hair. One appears.
She says she would like an inner robe made of silk. A courier delivers it the next day.
She says she wants a golden bangle, studded with rubies. Itâs several days, but before long a jeweler comes, bearing several golden circlets in an ebony box.
Itâs flattering, but Kagura is selfish, and she pushes their games to new limits.
She tells him she wants a kosode made of violet silk and silver threads. He has a seamstress taking her measurements the next day.
She tells him sheâd like a castle near the sea. A warlord falls to his death from the cliffs, and the humans are reluctant to stay in such a cursed place, leaving the palace empty save for the furnishings.
She tells himâÂ
And he never tells her no, never denies her, never questions her whims, and from what she can tell never wants for anything in return. She is not his mistress or his lover, and yet she can bend him to her will easier than any kept woman ever could. And while Kagura, as greedy as she is, is reluctant to question it, there is only so long this can go on before she asks.
âWhyâre you doing all this?â
Sesshoumaru stops just as heâs placing her newest little gift on the dining table, a bronze mirror from the mainland, and he raises a brow as if he doesnât know what she means. It surprises her how easily sheâs learned to read him.
She scoffs and waves her hand at it. âYou know what I mean.â
âYou donât know,â he says, voice almost laced with wonder, âand yet youâre more than willing to exploit it.â
âWhy wouldnât I?â
He stares at her, thinking, and then he moves to sit beside her, hands on his thighs as he watches her. Thereâs a snicker in her throat, but the strangely serious expression on his face stops her from voicing it.
âI failed.â His face is still neutral and the words are sure, meaning heâs thought about this enough times to say it so bluntly. âI had assumed that you were seeking some sort of redress on my part.â
âFailed what?â She doesnât understand, sheâs never known him to be a failureâŚ
âThat day in the field.â What dayâ? Oh.
She stares at him, a little dumbstruck, but then she has to stifle a laugh.
âYouâve been feeling guilty over that?â
She leans forward and dares to smooth her knuckles over his cheek. He keeps her gaze and doesnât flinch away, so she closes the distance between them until theyâre almost nose to nose.Â
âOh, dear Sesshoumaru, Iâve never faulted you for that.â The truth. He doesnât move, but his eyes flicker across her face when she changes the position of her hand to gently cup his cheek. âBut if youâre trying to make it up to meâŚâ
Kagura leans back, pulling him with her until he has to brace his hands on either side of her head as he hovers above her. She grins.
âIâm a little greedy, so I think I can come up with a few ways.â
A smirk tugs at his lip as his eyes light up, and Kaguraâ
Never has to ask anything of him again.

Kagura Week 2020 Day 3: Lust for Life
âWhere are we going, Kagura?âÂ
One hand holding her hair down so that it wouldnât blow all over, Rin peered up with huge eyes at the mountains stretched before her. Beside her, Kagura laughed, letting the wind rip tendrils of hair from her bun with nary a care. Â
âI told you it was a surprise, so stop asking already.â Placing a finger by her lips, she added, âAnd once you do figure it out, remember your promise.â
Rin nodded, feeling an uncomfortable mixture of excitement and unease settle in her gut. âI wonât tell Lord Sesshomaru...but why donât you want me to, again?âÂ
Gripping her arm, Kagura strode forward fearlessly, as though the mountains that loomed above were old friends. âBecause itâs a girlâs trip. Weâre doing girl things. Which means you canât tell that stupid frog either.â
âOh. Okay.â
 The coolness of rock against the calluses of her bare feet was startling--always being in the mountainâs shade kept the sun from warming them, the way it did on the riverbank near the village. Rin glanced down and felt the jolt of joy that she always had when she remembered that Kagura preferred bare feet, too.Â
Walking up the side of one of the mountains was fun enough; Rin liked tracing the lines where rainwater had worn entire arms of the cliffs away; the red silt against one stretch that was soft enough for her and Kagura to leave colored handprints along the wall; tiny burrows in the rock that only a very small demon could live in. Kagura complained about the stress on her legs loudly. Her voice bounced off the rocks and echoed in Rinâs ears.
âWhy donât we fly, then?â She asked, but Kagura just smirked and said nothing.Â
Theyâd been walking so long that she barely realized it when they arrived at the top. Kagura threw both arms out, as though calling the winds into an embrace, and screamed, âFinally!âÂ
Rinâs legs shook. The entire sky stretched before her, crowning Kaguraâs head in blue and blossoming into pink towards the far-off horizon. Her toes curled against the surface of the rock, sending tiny stones skittering. It was beautiful. It was terrifying.Â
Excitement burning in her eyes, Kagura moved closer to the edge.Â
âRin.â A hand beckoned her over.Â
Despite her fear (what if I cry? What if I fall?) she obeyed.Â
Kaguraâs nails dug into her arm, just shy of pain. The demonâs voice dropped low, into something that (though Kagura herself would never admit it) sounded gentle. Like the voice Sango used with her twin daughters, when they were crying about having their hair cut.Â
âYouâve been through a lot, kid. We all have, butâŚâ she shrugged, as though the horrors of the past were as easily discarded as a kimono in the wrong color. âYou and I, weâve barely been able to do anything for ourselves. To experience things. Not because weâre being dragged along on someone elseâs crusade, but because the world is ours and we want a taste of it.âÂ
The wind witchâs eyes glowed in a sheet of sunlight; the scarlet shade gained a purplish tint that, in Rinâs opinion, was quite pretty. She assumed Lord Sesshomaru thought the same, since he let Kagura stay with him all the time even though Jaken absolutely despised her.
âI havenât been in this world long, Rin. Not even as long as you.â Her grip slid down, until Rinâs fingers were crushed tight against her palm. âBut I want to be in it for a long time, and I want to go fucking wild while Iâm here. What about you?âÂ
The cursing made Rin giggle, and she squeezed the wind witchâs hand back. âI want to have fun, too.â
Kaguraâs lip curved. âRemember not to tell, okay? Heâll have my head on a stake.âÂ
Her feet moved towards the edge. Panic, natural and unbidden, seized like a hand against Rinâs throat. But then Kaguraâs fingers pulsed around hers, like a heartbeat.Â
Kagura jumped.
Rin knew she didnât have to follow--she could step back, make her way down the mountain slowly. Be careful. But instead, she jumped too, wanting the joyful laugh that left the wind witchâs lips to be her own.Â
They were only in the air for a few minutes before the wind caught them; Rin felt a feather-softness form beneath her knees, cradling her like a mother with a newborn. She barely registered her feet settling back on the ground, or staring up at the peak theyâd just leapt from--was I really up that high? Am I really okay?
Kaguraâs mass of curls had burst entirely free; she wound them up with both hands, a smile stretched wide across her face. Her eyes flit over Rinâs body. The fact that she was checking her for injuries, that even in her own joy she had made sure to catch Rin and leave her unharmed, felt like watching sunbeams on a riverâs surface.Â
âHow do you feel, Kagura?â Rin couldnât help but ask, resisting the urge to throw her arms around the witchâs waist like she did to Lord Sesshomaru. She looked so bright, the wind sweeping around her to turn her cheeks red.Â
âHow do you think?â Kagura laughed. âAlive.âÂ

I'm sorry to bother you, but I've read a couple of widower!kagome fics, but I can't the one I'm looking for. I was wondering if you would be willing to compile a rec list for a widowed Kagome, since I would love to see if I can find that fic I read, and maybe find some new ones too. The one I'm looking for had Kagome marry Seehomaru after Inuyasha died, because Reasons (reasons mostly being they were single parents). But I'd be open to just about anything along those lines.

Fruits Basket characters as high school/clique stereotypes go!
tohru: miss floater queen⌠super nice to everyone, strikes up a convo with you in the bathroom everyday, will always send you the notes you missed even if youâve only spoken once three years ago. well-liked by everyone (notable exception is the yuki fan club), but mostly keeps to her lil friend group. kyo is her scary boyfriend, and at first no one can comprehend how she is dating mr feral jock/nerd man... but the inner circle knows that they are both Weird so it works
yuki: popular but like⌠does not know how he ended up in this clique because inside he is a weird little gay rat man. gets invited to all the coolest partiesâspends the entire party awkwardly standing in the bathroom. breaks the internet when a viral video is posted of âprince yuki eating shit (falls off a skateboard while student kakeru manabe laughs in the background).â stoner masquerading as a prep
kyo: jock, but with the heart of a nerd. on every sports team. ball is life. but also. goes to math club three times a week and is a competitive mathlete. biggest ordeal of third year is when he has martial arts and mathlete competitions scheduled on the same day... can be seen sprinting through the tokyo streets that day, changing into his mathlete uniform as he runs. eats lunch with tohru everyday so that he can avoid choosing between eating with the jocks vs mathletes. leads a double life
shigure: so not exactly a nerd, but like a really pretentious smart kid⌠keeps to himself but is pretty generally well liked because. well heâs the mysterious sexy smart kid who wins like, poetry competitions and gets his picture in the school paper and is always tits out. also gets along really well with the theatre kids because he lives for the Drama and the Shit Talking. notorious for subtweeting people on main. does not subtweet akito and instead calls them out by name
akito: i feel like they would be a loner because i simply canât see them not being absolutely aggravated by 99% of the other kids. like they hate theatre kids, hate preps, hate jocks⌠but also are too cool for nerds and bully them lol. i think they are reluctantly befriended by like, a stoner, a goth, and a floater. end up with a weird little friend group that they donât hate. akito having friends and happiness in 2020 challenge
momiji: prep but more approachable than yuki. really popular because heâs a cutie as a first year, then he gets older and is gorgeous and is popular for that reason. super charismatic and mingles with various social groups really easily. honorary theatre kid In Vibes even though he was only ever in one production. also tik tok famous, so thereâs that
haru: goth⌠but specifically a gamer goth. like looks scary, has really cool tattoos and piercings, is really unapproachable⌠but i feel like he also is a regular member of the school DnD club and gets really into it. heâs that dude who goes to smash bros tournaments after school and wins giant cash prizes. but like. still goth energy
rin: emo goth. eyeliner for days. could step on you and you would thank her. takes first place in the art show with really moody abstract pieces. never talks to you but then one day sings âcreepâ at the school talent show and is suddenly a school celebrity
uo: loner but⌠in vibes only because she does actually have her good friends. keeps up the mysterious loner persona tho. if you donât know her you are scared of her. if you do know her you are probably still a little bit scared of her. oh and sheâs definitely a skater girl. really hot lesbian
hana: goth/emo but like⌠goes too hard for the majority of the goths at the school. can hold a good conversation about mcr but then she turns it supernatural and spooky and the Weaker Goths flee the situation. dresses better than anyone at school. solidarity with rin and haru
kagura: popular pretty girl but specifically a jock popular girl. like the kind that plays volleyball and soccer and runs track and is ripped and goes ham. but then looks like a super model at every end of year sports team banquet. probably bullies you tbh
hiro: nerd but like⌠specifically anime kidâ˘. like, aggressively so. president of the anime club. really intense about it. once he got control, wrote an official list of club rules and made membership more selective. there are three members. outsmarts bullies with his advanced vocabulary
kisa: vp of anime club because hiro asked her to be, but more of a floater. like tohru, she is cute and nice and universally adored even if she isnât popular popular. also definitely teachers pet vibes! tries really hard to be good at everything. her niche is probably with more nerdy kids or other floaters because they arenât intimidating
kakeru: okay so. primarily stoner⌠but also skater boy and class clown... the weirdest type of stoner. kind of can vibe with everyone similar to a floater, but itâs less in the way that he can shapeshift to fit into any groupâitâs like, he is so weird that any group he interacts with is ??? but they canât tell him to leave. crashes popular kid functions with yuki. also agreed with sophie that 2020 kakeru has eboy energy. fraternizes with the anime kids as well
machi: absolute loner but vibes with it. just minding her own business. really hard to get to know, but i feel like that honestly means that she ends up with a lot of friends in really odd places. avoids popular kids but can actually get along pretty well with almost anyone if they reach out to her first. likes fucking weird kids. the stoners adopt her
kimi: popular, cheerleader subset. but also more specifically the dance team type of cheerleader, which means she also overlaps with the theatre kids and honestly spends most of her social time with them. choreographs all the school musicals. they pick shows that have a Singular Dance Role so that kimi can shine. has to deal with fucking kyo being in a dance number when he canât dance for shit
nao: nerd. as iâve established before, an accounting nerd to be more specific. president of the accounting club. wears his nerd status with pride and with a superiority complex. the difference between him and kyo is that kyo is ripped as fuck so he doesnât get shoved into lockers⌠nao does get shoved into lockers

Bederia Masterlist
Time to get all my bederia fics in one place, in the order that they occur! If you didnât already know, my Bede/Gloria fics are all linked! I wanted to write a continuous series of fics showing their growing friendship/relationship with each other! The order isnât necessarily set in stone, but this is as best as I could do!Â
There are links to each fic on my tumblr, as well as ao3! If any of the links donât work, please let me know!
Recognitions and Realisations [ao3 link]
This fic takes place turing the post-game story, where Gloria sees the powerspot readings at Ballonlea Gym and rushes over in a fit of panic.
More than a Rival [ao3 link]
Bede remarks that he wished he didnât live in the same century as Gloria after losing to her in a exhibition match, and is stunned by the look of hurt on her face. Her expression haunts him until he canât take it any more, and seeks her out.
More than a Crush [ao3 link]
Takes place right soon after More than a Rival, where Bede is still coming to terms with the fact that he might have feelings towards Gloria, and he tries to reason with himself that what heâs feeling is nothing more than a simple crush.
Pretty in Pink [1] [2] [3] [ao3 link]
Bede has finally come to terms with the fact that heâs in love with Gloria, and notices her heading into Glimwood Tangle. Curious about what sheâs doing, he longs to follow her, but as he as Gym Leader duties to attend to, he never does. Itâs only when her Cinderace rushes into his Gym in a panic, that he abandons his duty for her.
Simply in Love [ao3 link]
Tomorrow is Valentineâs Day, and Gloria heads over to the Fairy Gym, only to find it absolutely packed with fans of Bede, and notices with dismay the mountain of gifts he already has. Determined to show how much she appreciates Bede, Gloria decides to invite him out on Valentineâs Day.
Fair Honesty [ao3 link]
Day 1 of Bederia Week 2020 (Fair/Amusement Park)
Bede attends the anual Wyndon fair, along with Gloria, Hop and Marnie, and is unable to keep his feelings towards the Champion under wraps.
Delirious in Love [ao3 link]
Day 2 of Bederia Week 2020 (Feelings of Love)
Feelings were not something Bede had much control over, especially when it came to Gloria, so when she asks him to come kidnap her from Stow-on-Sideâs Gym, how could he say no?
Sharing Secrets [ao3 link]
Day 3 of Bederia Week 2020 (Traveling Together)
Gloria comes into Ballonleaâs Gym and decides that sheâs going to kidnap Bede this time!
Fantasy [ao3 link]
Day 4 of Bederia Week 2020 (Fantasy)
Bede finds himself near Postwick, desperate to see Gloria, and things quickly go south when he makes a simple wish in front of Hatterene.
Heart-to-Heart [ao3 link]
Day 5 of Bederia Week 2020 (Soulmates)
Gloria escapes the media by hiding in Ballonleaâs Gym, and it doesnât take long for Bede to realise that something is up with her.
What the Future Holds [ao3 link]
Day 6 of Bederia Week 2020 (Future)
A retelling of Gloria and Bedeâs relationship througout the league challenge, as Bede thinks back on their encounters and the times they spent together.
Out in the Open [ao3 link]
Day 7 of Bederia Week 2020 (Free Prompt)
All the Gym Leaders star in a charity photoshoot next to the Champion, and Bede is unable to stop his feelings for her from showing on his face, in his eyes, in the pictures captured of the two of them.
Into the Wild [ao3 link]
It's part of the Champion's duty to scout the Wild Area before each new Challenger's Cup but Gloria doesn't like the idea of spending that long in the Wild Area by herself so she recruits a friend to help her.
And, of course, that friend is Bede.
Touch of an Angel [ao3 link]Â
Based on @kagura-arts comic where Bede falls ill and Gloria looks after him!
Finding Comfort in the Silence [ao3 link]
Gloria runs out in the middle of an interview and goes missing in Hammerlocke, prompting Hop to call Bede, asking if heâs seen her. Bede, who happens to be in Hammerlocke at the time, decides to look for her.
Glorious Confusion [ao3 link]
Bede gives Gloria a ticket to his most recent play at Ballonleaâs Grand Theatre, and she is instantly enraptured by his performance until a certain scene right before an intermission fills her with a surge of emotions sheâs never felt before.
Obligations and Excuses [ao3 link]
Gloria helps out at a Battle Cafe on White Day, only to find that the guy who was meant to be her partner for the special double battle event hasnât turned up, and determined to not let the event flop, she calls a friend for help.Â
Who else would that friend be, but Bede?
Unbroken Chains [ao3 link]
An encounter with Oleana in Galar Mine No.1 leaves Bede shaken, his mind a mess, and Ms Opal orders him to take a break from his Gym duties in order to sort himself out.
Souvenirs [ao3 link]Â
Gloria returns from the Isle of Armor and heads straight to the Fairy Gym, eager to surprise Bede with the newest member of her team.

Eyes like the Sun
Rating: G Ship: Kyo/Tohru Prompt: Day 6: Sunset For: @kyoruweekofficialâ
Tags: Kyo x Tohru, Kyoru Week 2020, Fluff, Post-Canon, Manga Spoilers
Read on Ao3
There were times in his life where Kyo genuinely couldnât believe how lucky he was. Never had he thought there would be a day he could get married, have children, and live his life to the fullest. When he was growing up all he was ever told was how he was a monster, how he was horrible and everything was his fault, how heâd be locked away forever. Kyo had been everyoneâs scapegoat. The one everyone pushed the blame onto to make themselves feel better.Â
Tohru never saw him like that. She saw him as a person. As someone to bond with, to love, to cherish. She was the first person aside from his master to care for him like that. Tohru ran after him, cared for him, cried for him⌠There was no one else he could want by his side.Â
He and Tohru hadnât been an âofficialâ couple for very long. They were still learning how the ârelationshipâ thing worked considering neither of them had really been in one before. Kyo had gotten the idea of how relationships shouldnât work from watching the horrible relationships in the Sohma family. They were still a bit awkward about physical affection. The rat called them âsuffocatingâ on multiple occasions. It had gotten easier once they realized that most people were genuinely happy about their relationship and didnât mind them occasionally holding hands or when heâd tug her in for a hug. Still, the more intimate things like small pecks on the cheek or lips were kept private. Kyo had come to be shy about touching feely actions in front of people because of Kagura constantly clinging to him.Â
Although⌠he didnât mind Tohruâs clinginess. In fact, he was kind of clingy himself. He never longed for someoneâs touch like he did hers. Maybe he was a bit touch starved, but heâd never admit that aloud. Or to Tohru.Â
Kyo waited in the hall, sitting against the wall as he was lost in thought. It was so easy to give into his mindseye while thinking about her. She consumed his brain almost all hours of the day. Â
Tohru still had extra work to catch up on since being in the hospital, and he would gladly wait for her to finish so they could walk home together. It was something heâd come to love. Something they got to do together privately. Sure, Yuki would walk with them occasionally, but not like he once did. The rat was preoccupied with his own relationship and the responsibilities of being student council president.Â
âKyo!âÂ
Looking up immediately at the sound of her voice, Kyo couldnât help the fond smile that etched along his lips at the sight of her. Standing, he picked up his bag as she approached him. âHey, you. Are you done for the day?âÂ
Tohru smiled, reaching for his hands. âMmhm! I have a bit of a headache though,â she replied with a giggle.Â
âAre you feeling sick?â he asked, concerned. The last thing he wanted was for her to overwork herself again. She had such a habit of doing that.Â
âNot really. I think itâs just from all the numbers.âÂ
Chuckling, he nodded. âYeah, alright. Why donât we order in tonight?â he suggested, intertwining their fingers together.Â
Tohru followed along happily as he tugged her along down the hall.Â
Man, he loved her. He loved her more than he thought his heart would ever be capable of loving someone. The small smiles she made, how the littlest things made her happy⌠he adored all of it. Adored every second he got to spend with her. And wanted that to be for the rest of his life.Â
âKyo, look! The sun is setting,â she cheered with a smile, pointing out over the fence lookout.Â
He paused with her, keeping his palm firmly against her own. âYeah, it is.âÂ
She giggled next to him, leaning her head onto his shoulder. âYou know⌠I always loved sunsets. Even more now than I used to.â
âHm? Whyâs that?âÂ
âCause itâs the same color as your eyes.âÂ
Kyo flinched, gritting his teeth as his face flushed. Blinking down at her, he caught her gaze as she smiled up at her.Â
âDonât say cute things like that, you idiot.âÂ
Tohru merely laughed in response.

Kagura Week 2020 - Day 2: Envy
âThatâs a real nice heart you got thereâ
There is a hollow space between her ribs, and yet she still feels an ache where her heart should be.
Itâs an odd thing, Kagura doesnât like to think of herself as the emotional type, she has no time for such a ghostly thing as heartache, that hollow echo in her chest is nothing more than that. It doesnât exist, and therefore she sees no point in dwelling on the things that would send a human screaming to their knees.
Kagura swings her fan and brings on a bloodbath with glee, and yetâŚ
When she looks at those around her, that ache burns through her breast stronger than Narakuâs fist ever could.
As soulless as his eyes often are, Kagura has watched Kohaku thoroughly enough to see the glimpses, the brief lapses when he comes back to himself, the boyâs heart on full display even with blood on his face.
She sees it in those brief moments when his sister comes barrelling through the skies, screaming his name with tears in her eyes, as she fights and scrambles and claws to get her brother back.
In the face of the monk when he throws the unconscious girl over his shoulder and stumbles up the stairs of Mt. Hakurei, knowing that if he opens the hole in his palm he will surely kill himself, but that if he does not the youkai salivating over his flesh most definitely will.
She knows it in the voice of the young miko, when, despite the infant sucking at her soul, she screams out her love for the hanyouâÂ
Who comes crashing through the window, screaming her name even louder.
In the steps of a small human girl, following after a cold daiyoukai, and in the way he looks down at the top of her head, even when he thinks no one is lookingâŚ
She thinks it is loathingâthat heat that fills her chest and the tips of her fingersâshe feels when she catches those quick glances of those soft little looks. Because what else could it be? She loathes their weakness, the way they wear everything on their sleeves. Itâs disgraceful, embarrassing, repulsive, and she hates them for it, mocks them for it, because she would never let herself act so foolish.
The space between her ribs aches, and it isnât until Hakudoushi asks her why the slayer would throw herself on top of Kohaku, protecting him from the horde of rats, and that heat swirls through her belly, that she recognizes it for what it is.
Itâs jealousy.
Kagura has no heart, and for a youkai such a thing is nothing to feel shame for, but that ache tugs at her chest every time she sees them.
Kagura has no heart, and the one who holds it would sooner feed her to the dogs than allow her a crumb of affection.
But, she has no time to dwell on the absence of a warmth sheâs never known, not when her very life hangs on the whims of a monster. So she turns her eyes forward, and ignores the burn.
...

Kagura Week 2020 Day 6: Sloth
Kagura slunk deeper into the hot spring, turning her sigh into a flurry of bubbles.Â
Her outfit lay in a haphazard pile of fabric on a dry rock a few feet away, her fan the only thing that was carefully folded. Strands of hair that had fallen from the waves bundled at the top of her head clung to the sides of her face, but she didnât bother to brush them away.Â
Somewhere out in the forest, she could hear Jakenâs loud complaining about how long she was taking. And it was technically true; her fingertips had turned pruny quite a while ago.Â
But she didnât want to get out. This whole quest was boring. For one thing, Sesshomaru had opted to leave Rin and Kohaku in the village, meaning Kagura had no one to discuss anything of interest with. And secondly--either the daiyokai was making them walk around for the sake of suspense, or he actually had no idea where they were supposed to find this super-special shield or whatever it was (she hadnât been paying attention during Jakenâs presentation).Â
Third and last of all, Kagura just didnât feel like an adventure right now. She felt like laying against warm rocks and pretending she was a noodle in a bowl of warm broth.Â
(A joke which neither Sesshomaru or Jaken had bothered to appreciate.)Â
The crunch of leaves nearby made her crack one scarlet eye open; she knew, of course, exactly who it was, since Jaken had expressed on multiple occasions that he would rather jump into a fiery pit of hell than see her fully nude.Â
Sesshomaruâs frown seemed to echo the general disinterest that Kagura felt inside. âGet your clothes. Weâre leaving.âÂ
âGo ahead.â She slunk even further, letting the tip of her nose graze the waterâs surface. âIâll catch up.â
He sighed, a loud and petulant thing that made her feel oddly jealous--if only she could inspire such unease in people with her own displays of annoyance. âYou should be aware by now that neither Jaken nor I have qualms about leaving you behind.âÂ
Beneath the bubbles, she smirked for a split second. Since Narakuâs demise, and her full-time procurement of a healthy heart, Kagura was no longer the type to chase after a man playing hard to get. âI am. Bye, then.âÂ
Sesshomaru glanced towards the thicket of wood, where he might have left Jaken in a whimpering pulp, then back to her. If heâd been many thousands of years younger, and in possession of a temperament more akin to his half-sibling, she might have expected him to stamp his foot. âIt is a wonder that sitting so long in the heat has not boiled your skin free from the bones.âÂ
âA wonder, indeed.â Leaning her head back, she swallowed--knowing his eyes would lock on the movement in her throat. âNo need to make conversation, if youâre in a hurry.âÂ
She lived for the glow of annoyance in his eyes. It was delicious, to make a man who made a hobby of walking away from her stand there and try to maintain composure instead of just snapping at her to stop being lazy like a normal person.Â
âFine,â he managed to say with only the slightest gritting of his teeth (have you been practicing? she wanted to ask, or has Rin just pouted her bottom lip at you one time too many and youâre worried about being a cruel father?) He turned and stalked into the brush, leaving Kagura chuckling.Â
She stayed in the spring for another half hour before finally sliding out. The ritual of wrapping each layer over her body before tying the obi closed was calming, methodic. Then Kagura flew up into the sky, ready to hunt down her traveling companions. They had put in quite a bit of distance, spurred on by their frustration.
Itâd be some time before she can track them down, but Kagura didnât mind. After all, a girl had to make her own fun now and then.

The Search for the Supreme Scent
Fan art used with permission from @x-thekid A Collaboration by @mdelpin and @oryu404â with @x-thekid
Fairy Tail Reverse Bang 2020 Pairing: Gray x Natsu AO3Â | Ch 1 | Next: Ch 2
Summary: Natsu has decided heâs lived with his feelings for Gray long enough. It was one thing when he thought that Gray and Juvia were together, but now that he knows differently, he refuses to wake up one morning only to find that it's too late.
When Erza forces the two of them to do a job, he discovers it's just the opportunity he needs.
0-0
This is our entry for the Fairy Tail Reverse Bang, which was a really fun event hosted by @ftguildevents.
We were lucky enough to be paired with @x-thekid who is the wonderful artist behind this fan art. You can see her post here. Please take a moment to let her know how much you liked her art!
A few notes:
This story touches upon three in-game quests - Isosceles or Love Triangle (Juvia Character Story), Monster Outbreak from the Very Difficult Requests Set DLC, and The Search for the Supreme Scent (Ichiya Character Story).
This AU has elements of Fairy Tail canon, game canon, as well as game elements we have attempted to incorporate into the story. An example of this is duels, which is an in-game mechanism and not at all as dramatic as Gray might make them sound. ;)
In the game all the playable characters are always at Fairy Tail, this includes Jellal, Ichiya, Kagura, Sting, Rogue, Lyon and Chelia.
We had a lot of fun working on this story and we hope you enjoy it! It is four chapters long and we will post a chapter daily until it is done.
Chapter 1
Natsu entered the newly restored Fairy Tail Guild in his usual manner, kicking the door open and announcing his presence.
âIâm back!â
Only a few people looked up from what they were doing, accustomed as they were to his loud entrances.
âMorning Natsu,â Lucy greeted from her spot at their team table.
âOh, hey Lucy,â Natsu walked over to the table, plopping down across from her while Happy went off searching for the other Exceeds.
âAre you taking a job with the slayers today, or are we going on a team job?â Lucy asked, and from the look on her face, he could tell which answer she was hoping for.
âNo rent money again?â he asked with a knowing smile.
âIâve been going on a few requests with Levy and the others, but the jobs they take donât tend to pay as much,â she explained quickly. âAlthough,â she teased, âthereâs definitely a lot less destruction.â
Natsu chuckled. He certainly couldnât say the same of the jobs heâd been going on. He was bad enough on his own, but adding Sting and Gajeel to the equation, it soon grew beyond anything he could have imagined.
âSorry, Sting and Rogue should be here any minute.â
âOh well, Iâm sure Iâll figure something out,â Lucy began, but her voice was drowned out somewhat unexpectedly.
âFor the last time. NO,â Grayâs yells cut through all conversations, and everyone turned to see what was happening. âI donât want to go on another job with you!â
Gray stood by the request board, holding a flyer in his hand. His mouth was set in a hard line, but his fingers moved ever closer to the hem of his shirt, which Natsu knew meant he was anxious. Juvia stood next to him, leaving barely any space between them, as she usually did. Her eyes filled with tears at Grayâs tone, her gaze imploring him to change his mind, but it seemed for once the ice mage was determined not to back down.
Natsu heard the murmurs start, and given the things that were being said, he hoped Gray wasnât able to.
âBut Gray-sama, we make a perfect team,â Juvia pleaded, still determined to get her way, âOur magics are compatible, and Juvia can protect you better than anyone.â
âI donât need protecting,â Gray scowled, crossing his arms over his chest. âWhat I need is a partner who can keep their head on the job, and not on me.â
âJuvia can do that!â Juvia exclaimed, utterly oblivious to the rebuke. Her tears disappeared, and in her excitement, she grabbed on to Grayâs arm.
Gray shook himself free from her grasp and took a step back. âI said, NO,â he repeated firmly.
The guildâs murmurs only grew louder and more disapproving of Gray as Juvia once again began to cry, running off towards one of the rear exits that led to the pool. Many heads turned to follow her, some even sparing sympathetic looks, but no one offered to check on her, and after a few awkward seconds, Gajeel sighed and stepped up to the task. Natsu couldnât help but feel bad for his rival, although his mind was swimming from what heâd just seen. Gray, however, seemed to have had enough. One second he was there, the next he was gone, and all that could be heard was the sound of the heavy guild doors slamming shut.
Natsu was as shocked as everyone else. Gray had always had a temper. He knew that better than anyone, but it was unlike him to lash out at any of the girls.
âWhat was that about?â he asked Lucy, who, like Mira, usually knew just about everything that went on in the guild.
Lucy peered at the guild doors thoughtfully and shrugged, âI guess she finally pushed too hard.â
âI thought he liked going on jobs with her,â Natsu commented, his brows furrowing in confusion when Lucy began to laugh.
âYou really have been gone a lot, havenât you?â
âWhat do you mean?â he frowned, not liking that there was something about Gray he didnât know.
âAll I know is last week he practically begged me to go on a job with the two of them,â Lucy confided, âI thought Juvia was going to find a way to stab me with her eyes. It was so awkward.â
She glanced around the guild to make sure no one was paying any attention to them before revealing, âHe looked miserable too. And the sad thing was when I asked him why he wanted me there,â Lucy paused, looking pained by her next words, âHe said he didnât feel like his body was safe around her.â
Natsu tried to come up with some sort of retort but found he couldnât focus on anything but the maelstrom of emotions brewing inside him at hearing those words. On the one hand, he was cautiously hopeful that maybe Gajeel had been right when heâd told him he was reading too much into Grayâs relationship with Juvia. But that was short-lived. It was soon replaced by an increasing fury at the idea of Gray feeling that way about someone in their guild- the one place where they should all feel safe. âArenât Canaâs drinks great?â Erza commented as she joined them at the table, holding a mug full of some strawberry smelling concoction, and saving Natsu from having to come up with a reply.
âThey sure are,â Lucy agreed, seeming just as relieved to change the subject. âJust the thing before going on a job.â
His two friends continued talking about some of the other upgrades they had added to the guild while Natsu struggled to control himself. He could understand being angry on Grayâs behalf, but this rage flowing through him seemed excessive, and it disturbed him.
Gray had always been able to take care of himself. He didnât need protection from anyone, least of all him. Natsu tried to take part in the conversation around him when Juvia happened to walk past him. The hair on the back of his neck rose, and to his great shock, he found himself growling at her, his fists balled and ready to attack. Juvia gaped at him before hurrying away from their table.
Lucy glanced at him curiously while Erzaâs eyes narrowed at the display. Natsu could already tell he was in for it, and he wasnât disappointed when he felt the sharp sting of her fist connecting with his head.
âFor goodness sake, pull yourself together, Natsu! Is that what you slayers do on these jobs, act like wild animals?â
âOf course not!â he complained, rubbing his head, even as he tried to figure out what the hell had just happened.
âDid we miss something?â Sting Eucliffe asked as he promptly shoved Natsu further into the booth to make room for him and Rogue. âWe saw Gray as we came in. He looks pissed.â
Natsu shrugged in reply, not wanting to get into what had happened.
âAre Gajeel and Wendy here yet?â Rogue asked, looking around the guild for the other slayers.
Natsu could tell the moment Gray reentered the guild, not just by the surge of his familiar scent but also by the whispers. When the ice mage took his seat at their table, Natsu made sure to look down at the tabletop so that Gray wouldnât be able to see his face, just in case it betrayed his feelings.
Natsu could feel the guildâs temperature drop a few degrees as soon as Gray noticed Sting and Rogue. âGreat, you two are here again.â
âGray!â Erza scolded, âIs that any way to talk to our friends?â
Gray covered his eyes with his hand in what Natsu recognized as a futile attempt to control himself. A few moments later, he fixed his gaze on Natsu and scoffed, âSo Iâm guessing youâre going off with them again today?â
Natsu nodded, not trusting his words not to anger Gray further when he was so clearly holding on by a tenuous thread.
âWhen you talked to us about this, you said this shit was only going to be once a week,â Gray reminded him.
âI havenât been gone that often,â Natsu protested, even though he knew it was certainly more than they had initially planned. âI donât hear anyone else complaining.â
âOh, believe me, weâve all done plenty of complaining. You just havenât been around to hear it. Lucy canât make her rent from the jobs she can manage on her own.â
âIf youâre so worried about Lucy, why donât you go on a job with her?â Natsu challenged.
âHey!â Lucy snapped, âLeave me out of this.â
âThatâs not the point, and you know it,â Gray pinched the bridge of his nose, âUgh, youâre giving me a headache.â
âWhatâs the matter, Princess?â Natsu goaded, âYou miss me?â
âDonât put words in my mouth, Flame Brain. Youâre neglecting your friends- our team- to go off to play with the other dragon slayers.â To make matters worse, Sting decided to butt into the conversation. âNah, weâre not playing! Weâre, uh...pushing each other to get stronger!â he grinned, casually resting his elbow on Natsuâs shoulder. âYou know, similar magic and all that.â
âOh God,â Rogue hid his face behind his hand, looking ready to slide underneath the table.
âDid you just say Iâm weak?â Gray spat furiously.
âHuh? Where did you get that from?â
âJust shut up, youâre only making things worse,â Natsu scolded his friend.
âNatsu! You canât talk to Sabertoothâs Guild Master like that!â Erza berated, horrified by his words.
âWhat?! He doesnât care!â
âThatâs it!â Gray pounded his fist on the table, âI challenge you to a duel!â
If looks could kill, Sting would have dropped dead that very second.
âYes, thatâs a great idea!â Lyon exclaimed, suddenly appearing next to Gray. âIf Sting wins, Natsu and Wendy can go to Sabertooth. And if you win, they can stay in Fairy Tail!â âNot this crap again!â Gray scowled at his foster brother. âWhere the hell did you even come from? And why are you people here all the time?!â he complained, raising his hands in disbelief at all the non-Fairy Tail mages lounging around. âDonât you have your own guilds?â
âI donât see what your problem is, â Lyon shrugged, âseems to me like it would fix everything.â
âOh, hell no, I do not agree to that,â Natsu chimed in, âI love you guys, but I am a Fairy Tail wizard.â
âWhat the hell, Flame Brain, are you implying Iâm going to lose to him?â Gray scoffed, looking offended, although Natsu thought he caught a glimpse of hurt in the ice mageâs expression for a moment.
âWhat?! I didnât say that!â Natsu objected, but Gray refused to look at him.
âWho even said we wanted you?â Rogue pointed out, even though it was evident that Stingâs eyes were already lit up at the idea of a challenge.
âENOUGH!â Erza shrieked, and when they continued to bicker despite her outburst, she muttered, âIâm surrounded by complete idiots!â
She watched them for another minute, looking from one wizard to the next. She grabbed Natsu and Gray by the collar, swiftly realizing they were the only two she could do anything about. Knocking their heads together, she managed to shut up Sting, Rogue, and Lyon, who could only stare at her in shock.
âTheyâre all insane,â Rogue muttered under his breath, but thankfully Sting was the only one to hear him.
âIâm sorry Iâm late. Carla wanted to stop at the market and-,â Wendy stopped mid-sentence, marking the unnatural quiet at a table filled with people known for their loudness. She peered closer, noticing Natsu and Gray glaring at each other and sporting two large bumps on their heads. âDid I miss something?â
She moved over to their side of the table, calling on her magic to heal them, although this didnât seem to ease their hostility in the slightest.
Thankfully the awkwardness was interrupted by Master Makarov making his way over to the stage.
âSettle down brats, I have an announcement to make,â Makarov yelled from the stage, waiting for a few minutes until he was sure he had everyoneâs attention. Peering at the faces that were now intent on him, he remarked cheerfully, âOh good, I see many of our friends are here! This concerns you too.â
âDo you know what this is about, Erza?â Lucy whispered, but Erza only shook her head.
âWe have been through a lot in the last couple of years. All of you have shown courage and skill far beyond your years, and I am incredibly proud of you.â Makarov beamed.
âNow, about eight years ago, we were rudely interrupted in the middle of one of our time-honored traditions, and I, for one, think itâs time we finish what we started.â
âS-Class Trials?â Natsu and Gray chorused eagerly.
âIndeed!â Makarov confirmed with a wide grin, âWhen I informed the Council of my intentions, they asked that I open the testing up to the other guilds since we currently have the best setup for it. For that reason, the rules have changed a bit.â
âThere will be no nominations this time. As far as Iâm concerned, you have all more than proven yourselves, so anyone who feels ready is welcome to participate. Teams can have up to five members and may include wizards from different guilds. You may ask one S-Class Wizard to be part of your team if you wish. Any team that completes every exam phase successfully will see all its members promoted to S-Class. The exam will once again take place on Tenrou Island."
âThatâs all I have for now. I will have more details on the test itself once I have spoken to the other Guild Masters,â Makarov peered down at Sting and Rogue with a smile. âMaster Sting, am I right to assume you and Rogue will be participating?â
"Of course we are!" Sting was almost glowing with excitement, and even Rogue gave an eager nod.
âAlright then, weâll figure out a way to keep you in the loop so you can pass the information along to the rest of your guild,â Makarov informed him, âWeâll talk about it later.â
Sting nodded in agreement, and Makarov turned his attention back to the others, â I want you all to think about whether you will take part in the exam or not. I firmly believe youâre all capable of this, but only you can decide if youâre up to it. Iâll need your response by the end of the week, along with a list of your team members.â
With that, Makarov walked off the stage and made his way over to Canaâs bar, climbing onto a stool and ordering a drink. Everyone began to talk all at once, the guildâs noise rising to almost unbearable proportions for the dragon slayers.
Natsu couldnât contain his excitement any more than the others; he would finally become S-Class! Something he and Gray had dreamed of doing from the moment Erza had joined their ranks so many years ago. He looked towards where Gray had been sitting just a few minutes earlier, only to find the seat empty.

InuxKag Week 2020 Day 3--Confession
You and I
Rated M (no explicit details, but adult themes present) Slight NSFW
I promised a second one right?Â
I like this one better
@inukag-week @superpixie42 @lemonlushff @dangerouspompadour @keichanz @cstormsinukagblog @willowandfog @inuyashaloverforever @xfangheartx @clearwillow  @umacaking @procellaxletalis @smmahamazing @murdergiraffe @faulkner-blog @sapphirestarxx@swaggingtomboy @sarah-writes-storiesÂ
âI love you.â
She was speechless. She hadnât expected to hear those three words from him. Ever. His actions were what proved to her time and time again how much he cared about her. The words were never required. He always ended up tripping over them, insulting her or himself in some way that always seemed to start a fight between them.
When he found her in the darkness when the jewel took her, she knew. It wasnât like she hadnât known before then, but the kiss they shared spoke words they could never possibly say to one another. It was a loudest confession he could have ever made to her.
Looking back, she should have knownâhow she had been so blind, sheâd never know. Maybe it was because she was fifteen. Maybe it had been because he was more abrasive, and she hadnât completely understood him. But somehow, even in spite of all that, she fell so deeply in love with him she had to return to the past.
Maybe it was the first night of the new moon she realized she had feelings for him. She buried them after their encounter with Urasue thinking she was heavily intruding on something between Inuyasha and Kikyo. She didnât want to be Kikyoâs replacement. Even knowing that, she couldnât help but fall further and further in love with him. His protectiveness, his fierceness, his loyalty, everything about him from his doggy ears to his brash attitude drew her to him.
He opened up to herâin ways no one else had been able to get him to share. He was truly himself with her. She had thought that he was in love Kikyo but when she noticed how different he acted with her and her incarnation she realized that their love had been nothing in comparison to what he felt for her⌠Kagome. He even made sure she knew that she wasnât just a copy, that he only saw her for her.
She confessed to herself her feelings under the Sacred Tree when she had caught Inuyasha promise to protect Kikyo. Even though she thought then, he hadnât had enough room in his heart for her, but she had enough room in her heart for him.
She admitted her feelings aloud for him when he was transforming into a full demon in Kaguyaâs castle. They shared a kiss and confirmed their feelings⌠but nothing more. It was a taboo topic.
She yelled her feelings again to Kagura and the infant to which he overheard. Yet again, it was never addressed.
Once thing was for certain after that; she loved him unconditionally. While he never professed how he felt, she knew her feelings were somewhat reciprocated even if it was just a friendly love. But then he told her she would protect her with his life and bent to kiss her⌠only for her dumb brother to interrupt them.
Then Naraku was defeated, the jewel was purified, and the well closed.
It had been three years since she had last seen him. Touched him. Had been able to speak with him.
He pulled her from the well and they spent the day together with their friends. When dusk finally hit, she pulled him away, back to the Sacred Treeâwhere they first met. She began kissing him and before they knew it, he was cradling her naked body to his. They touched and explored each other, making up for the time they had lost. Finally, as they joined, mated, married for all intents and purposes, he confessed to her. The three words that made her heart stop from pure joy.
He stared into her eyes; the beautiful golden glow of his eyes shown through the dark as their bodies were intertwined together in the most intimate way. They were searching for somethingârecognition perhaps? Confirmation? Reciprocation? His words were spoken, hanging between the little space their bodies werenât touching.
âI love you too, Inuyasha,â she sighed as she kissed his battered and abused lips, arms still encompassed around his shoulders, trying to pull him even closer if that was even possible. She felt him shift, dragging himself closer to her, filling her completely of him, bringing a moan of desperation for more from her lips.
The rest of the night he whispered confessions of adoration, passion, and love. The language came through his body that brought her pleasures she never knew, and words she never thought heâd say.

Drag To Die For
For SessKag Week 2020 Day 1: Crime - Whodunit / Yakuza / Heist
This Fic touches on some sensitive subjects like suicide, and treatment that members of the LGBTQ community may face.Â
Itâs something that Iâve wanted to write for a long time. I felt like this would be the perfect opportunity for inclusion.Â
Disclaimer: I do not own nor imply ownership of âCover Girlâ by RuPaul, The name Princess Pickles, nor any Inuyasha characters.Â
âI will not tell you again, Kagura. I am not interested in hanging out.â He scratched the stubble that had already begun to grow on the side of his face.Â
âCâmon Sesshomaru, itâs just a drink.â She hung off the door frame, sheer red dressing gown hanging loosely off her cinched torso. âItâs too depressing to drink alone.â She added with a pout, âWe are friends, right?â
Throwing his suit jacket over his arm, Sesshomaru huffed, âIndeed.âÂ
The small apartment felt cold with a draft coming in from the night lit balcony. Kagura gracefully kneeled down, tucking her legs underneath as she threw back the contents of whatever it was she was drinking that day.Â
âYou drink on the regular, however tonight seems special.â Sesshomaru murmured after his third beer. âWhat happened?âÂ
Kagura shrugged one lean broad shoulder, âA friend died.â She laughed a hollow sound, âMmurdered. No onnne caresss when a drag queen diiies, essspec-ially not in draag!â She didnât say any more after that, and he didnât ask.Â
Kagura passed out on her very red very fluffy couch.Â
Sesshomaru took the bottle from her hand and sat it on the counter beside a matchstick box.Â
He let himself out, only to discover her body on the pavement outside the complex at four A.M. the next morning.

InuKag Week 2020 - Desire
OKAY.
SO, I feel better about this after some light editing this morning, but I'm still unsure of this chapter. Definitely rated M for mature content; no smut (I ain't there yet LOL), but there is some description of the possibility of the act, just a heads up. I gift the dress to my friend @superpixie42 ( ͥ° ÍĘ ÍĄÂ°)
He was a goner from the moment he had walked into the house. Downstairs, an old record player that had once belonged to her father set the mood, playing a light piano medley. She was upstairs, still putting on the final touches to her hair or her makeup. Inuyasha could already smell her perfume. Cherry blossoms in the spring, with a hint of old oak. It was one of the only perfumes that he could stand; most commercial perfumes were strong and whipped his sense of smell so hard that Inuyasha was usually unable to smell anything for the remainder of the night. He had taken to creating his own personal sauna with hot water and a towel to clear his sinuses when subjected to the potent stench. Kagomeâs perfume was different though, because it was made by youkai; A gift she had received from Kagura on her last birthday. She almost never wore perfume - her natural aroma of honey and jasmine more enticing than anything one could bottle - so she only wore it for special occasions, like tonight's fancy dinner date.
It was too bad they would never make it to their reservation.
Kagome had truly outdone herself tonight. Her dark, ebony locks twisted into a messy side bun, curly wisps of hair framing her unblemished face. She donned the most alluring silk dress. A deep blood red, the back swooped down low, hanging just above her hips, with a revealing v-shaped neckline. It was the straps that pushed him over the edge though, ribbons delicately tied into intricate bows on each shoulder. To Inuyasha, she looked like a Christmas present, and everyone knows the best thing about gifts is the act of unwrapping one.
They never even made it out of the parking lot. Kagome walked slightly ahead of him as soon as their car was in sight, putting her bow straps on full display. Inuyasha growled as he studied the way her dress aesthetically framed her bare shoulder blades. The shimmering fabric in the warm luminance of the nearby street lights made it look like she was bathed in liquid rubies. A slight breeze chilled the air, causing goosebumps to litter her skin; the puff of exhalation from the chill all too similar to the sounds she made when she was under him. It sent him over the edge.
Inuyasha had quickly dashed up behind her and slammed the passenger door shut as he dramatically spun her to face him and pushed her against the car door. Any bit of indignation she could have said was instantly drowned out by the possessive kiss he crushed on her. Instantly, their lips were locked in battle, fighting for dominance. Her tongue carefully flicked the edge of his fang, sending shivers down her spine, causing Inuyasha to tighten his hold on her. His hands roamed her body, caressing from her arms down to her hips, enjoying the soft feel of her skin and the silkiness of the dress. Her hands were bunched into his dress shirt, her knuckles turning white from the iron-like grip as she kept him as close to her as their bodies would allow.
This happened almost every time they got all dolled up for a date. Most nights, they would make it all the way to the restaurant before succumbing to the warmth of each otherâs bodies in the back of the car. Some nights, a pit stop was made on the way - usually in the back of the car, but sometimes more âexoticâ places like a motel or even wooded areas tucked away from the beaten path were acceptable places for acting on their urges. And sometimes, they would only ever make it as far as to the car. It was like a game for them. How far could they get before the desire to feel one another became too much, and who would yield first? Inuyasha was not very good at the game; unlike Kagome, he didnât have any reservations about bending her over wherever he saw fit, no matter how divulged to the public they found themselves. Unfortunately for her, it didnât take much for Inuyasha to break down her walls and get her eating out of the palm of his hand.
There was no end to how much he desired this little woman. It didnât seem to matter what Kagome wore - what color the dress was, the type of fabric, the style - or how she wore her hair, no other woman could turn him on like she could. She was strong, and kind, and talented. She loved with every inch of her heart, and her soul burned brighter than even the sun. Her body was intricate and beautiful. Like cursive, the curves of her breasts and hips were akin to the most stunning calligraphy. Each plump breast fit perfectly into each of his hands. He loved how her firm behind could nestle snugly into his throbbing manhood, or how her creamy thighs always seemed to wrap themselves around his waist.
They were like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly into each other.
They were becoming more impatient, as Kagome found herself being unwrapped while she toyed with the buttons on his pants. Tonight, it seemed like they were going to break a new record; they might not even bother with the interior of the car.
Tonight was all about their desire, and nothing was going to stop them from acting on it.
