Stay soft! Get Eaten! [Read it at A03]

Trigger warnings: Animal death and implied mentions of gaslighting

Well it has been a long time since I posted 'I want you', no I did not lose interest (in fact it was written like six months back or so), but yeah romantic disaster Kirinmaru is back, and no he is never okay, and Sunako is pretty much something- feeding on his misery!

But yeah Sunako is something 🫠 , even I am shocked how I loved writing her #delulu status

Thank you @fawn-eyed-girl for being an actual rockstar in that particular!!

Anyway you may be wondering what the sketches are like, I did some like months back and I should do some more again!

So you know how Kirinmaru is ridiculously chilsed? I just know that Midoriko is gonna have at least one moment where the invasive thoughts win like this:

[sereia1313]

Hello! Seriea, cannn you doooo Toga x Izayoi orrrrrrrr maybe Midoriko x Kirinmaru *shoots myself in the face*, maybe cafe or gardener, and I love purple~~

@shade-without-color! How wonderful to see you in my inbox! I'll end up doing both of your ideas, but have some Midoriko and pining Kirinmaru for now! And I hope you're feeling better, my love 💖💖💖

Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.

Midoriko/Kirinmaru, Gardener, Purple

"You were told not to change anything!" The broom hit the back of Kirinmaru's head, easily avoidable, though he'd done nothing to dodge it. The old priestess never ceased to find reasons to take her ire out on him.

He'd come to them severely injured, barely making it up the stairs of the shrine before losing consciousness. He'd never imagined that he'd wake up again—or in the arms of an angel no less.

The broom made contact again, and Kirinmaru sighed. "I'd thought to add a little colour."

"You are not allowed to think," the old woman hissed. "You are only here because she wills it. If it were up to me, you'd have been left to drown in your own—"

"Sensei."

Kirinmaru stilled, her voice doing much to calm his rising ire.

The old woman huffed, then turned to the head priestess, bowing low. "Midoriko-sama, this filth has desegrated your personal garden."

"I can see that." Green eyes peeked out from under his auburn hair, gazing upon the wonder that was his saviour. She considered him for a moment, then turned back to the one with the broom. "I will take care of it."

The older priestess pursed her lips but didn't say anything else, bowing again before shuffling away, broom in hand. Adverting his eyes, Kirinmaru returned to his work, covering the bulbs with fresh soil at the base of the wall.

"She's right, you know." He winced, not looking at her, even as she stood beside him. "You should have asked first."

The shrine was surrounded by apricot trees, the pale blossoms symbolizing elegance and the pure hearts of those that trained under Midoriko. They grew in abundance, the oldest ones planted by her predecessors—secluded in the back and used as a private oasis for the head priestess.

Kirinmaru had always hated them—Midoriko was so much more than that. A warrior with the face of an angel who had used her own power to bring him back from the edge of death when all others would have left him to perish.

The purple hue of the violets now climbing up the wall behind the apricot trees was much more suited to her unbreakable spirit.

"I apologize," he said, reaching for his tools. "I'll remove them—" His eyes widened when her hand touched his shoulder, stilling his movement.

"And ruin all of your hard work?"

His heart swelled, and he gave her a stiff nod, plucking one of the newly opened blooms and holding it out to her. She accepted it willingly, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

"A simple note would suffice next time you wish to thank me."

Kirinmaru jerked, looking up at her with a startled expression. "You are aware of the meaning behind—"

"We are taught many things in order to be prepared for those who would seek to harm us," she said, twirling the flower between her fingers. "It pays to know which plants are poisonous and which are meant to heal."

She kissed the violet he'd given her, then placed it against his mouth, colour blooming between the blue marks on his cheeks. "I appreciate your sincerity, Kirinmaru. As well as anything else you have to offer." The smile from before only widened at the shock on his face, Midoriko tucking the flower into her robes before turning away. "Do not overwork yourself. And try to stay away from Sensei's broom."

He was unable to form words, even as she walked back towards the shrine, though his tools felt lighter when he was eventually able to return to his task, hope lessening the weight on his shoulders.

MIDOKIRINTOBER:

An uplifting message from Naraku and Kikyo.

With paths separated and hearts united together [Read it at A03]

I am sorry if the update has been long, since I updated my @inu-mothership fleet week story because things have been busy since I came back from the holiday, which I have to deal with family and friends and basically me self-learning Japanese- I have to do a Mirsan cameo because I love them a lot and I have so much fun. A huge shoutout to @arisukingdom for saying to me to complete that chapter.

I am working hard for them to confess their feelings very very soon

I have these MidoKirin friends who introduced me to platform design. It was Canva. I had actually heard of Canva before, but I never used it because I'm used to stick with Photoshop…

They told me that when it comes to editing pictures, Canva is the answer to make your life easier. So I created an account and gave it a try. I put Kirinmaru and Midoriko in a vintage journal version. It looks good, haha!! I love it…😁😁~

I'm sorry, but once I read the crack theory that Inuyasha is either Midoriko's reincarnation or a close relative (think nephew)....yeah, I don't know what to make of Midoriko x Kirinmaru theory.

An uplifting message from Sesshomaru and Kikyo.

Kirinmaru and Midoriko: Fertility Shrine (Coming Soon)

Kirinmaru could only say one thing: there is still much he doesn't know about Midoriko, particularly her duties as a shrine maiden. It turns out there are many aspects he remains unaware of concerning his human priestess lover.

According to her, she is going to attend a ceremony. So, is this the place where the ceremony will be held tomorrow? He just couldn't believe that she was going to take him to that place—to that strange shrine he had never seen before!

Midoriko, who was standing beside him, gently clasped his hand. Her affectionate gaze and soft voice carried no ill intent. "If we wish to conceive a child in the future, we will visit this place again where we can seek blessings for our child's well-being."

Kirinmaru wanted to feel guilty because of the thoughts running through his mind. While the priestess expresses pure love for him, he is the opposite of what he thinks. It seems like Midoriko is not aware of how her actions and words are currently affecting his body.
