His Scent

A village festival was a rare but welcomed treat. Since Kaede's sleepy village had been expanding, fairly prosperous despite the warring times- they'd decided to celebrate. Food stalls had been set up, lanterns guiding the way as travellers gathered, merchants wishing to sell their wares for the festivities.

Kagome grinned, happy to see everyone in such high spirits. Finishing tying Rin's obi at the back, she ushered the child to the hut's exit.

"Now go have fun! Stay with Shippo until I can catch up, alright?"

Rin hesitated outside, adjusting her yellow hair tie. "Don't you want us to wait for you?"

"It's fine," Kagome waved off, holding the door cover aside to peer out, catching sight of Sango further down the path, waiting with Shippo and her cluster of children. "See? Sango's right there too. It won't take me long to get ready, promise."

Rin brightened, also noticing Jaken and Kohaku lingering outside a hut. Kagome happened to follow her gaze- witnessing the very moment a certain demon emerged from inside.

She had to say, she'd been surprised that snooty Lord Sesshoumaru had deigned to join them for the evening. He loathed walking among humans at the best of times, but it seemed he'd made an effort, not just to attend but to dress as finely as possible. He donned a black, silky hankimono with faded gold and red brush-stroke patterns drifting down the fabric.

Even more surprising, Kagome noticed his lack of swords and armour.

He almost seemed...casual. Oozing confidence and a strange kind of magnetism he didn't usually have. Sesshoumaru's energy usually felt cold, closed off. Tonight his youki hummed and openly crackled, practically beckoning. Mokomoko hung around the crook of his right arm, the only thing remaining from his usual ensemble. The fur puffed up slightly as her reiki responded to his demonic power, flaring in her aura.

Gold clashed with blue.

Sesshoumaru tilted his chin up, sweeping an unblinking gaze over her apparel and frowning softly at her lack of kimono.

Blushing, Kagome stepped back. She quickly encouraged Rin to leave, who squealed and rushed off to join everyone.

Witnessing the strange band of demons and people wander further towards the stalls together, Kagome disappeared back inside.

She quickly shed her clothes and began dressing, slightly flustered by the intricacies of the layers and the dark flare of youki lingering outside.

What the heck had that been all about?

"Are ye still here, Kagome?"

With a wince, she glanced over one shoulder as Kaede joined her. She smiled sheepishly, raising the red sleeve of her kimono. "Care to help a girl out?"

----

After giving an excited twirl and feeling strangely giddy, Kagome kissed the old woman on the cheek for her assistance.

"I should probably try to tame my hair back though. Crap, I hope Sango has some spare hair-pins in her hut."

Kaede rolled her only available eye, shooing her out. "Be gone, girl- or the festival will be over before ye even arrive!"

Laughing, Kagome thanked her once more before hurrying out. The brisk evening air did little to deter the glow in her cheeks. In truth, she'd brought the red kimono months ago in the hopes of attending the festival with Inuyasha, but hindsight was unfortunate, and breakups were unexpected. Luckily they'd moved past most of the lingering awkwardness, remaining friends.

Ducking inside Sango and Miroku's empty hut without permission, she looked around, knowing her friends wouldn't mind the intrusion.

She hadn't made it three steps before stopping, noticing something.

Clothes had been discarded on the floor.

White and red silks. Armour set down to one side. Boots toppled inelegantly.

Now she remembered; Jaken and Kohaku had been waiting outside that very hut while Sesshoumaru had changed.

"And he undresses like a teenager, apparently," she snorted, approaching the messy cluster of fabrics. Bending down, she neatly arranged his boots, picking up white hakama pants and a crisp white underlayer, folding them nicely. Kagome then grasped his beautiful hankimono, standing to shake it out and carefully fold it, running curious hands over the cool material that yielded like water to the slightest touch.

Pausing with the folded bundle in her arms, Kagome was seized with a mad impulse.

She didn't think anything of it at the time- lulled by instinct and domestic ease.

Kagome dipped her nose down to soft silks, inhaling.

Her lungs filled; wild woods, clove and spicy, curling smoke from a kiseru pipe all dowsed in a masculine scent burst through her system, fogging her head with a pleasant buzz. Traces of youki flew through her body. Her mouth inexplicably filled with saliva. The reaction was immediate- arousal shooting straight down to her core, goosebumps fanning over her skin. Kagome quietly gasped into the material, shuddering.

Holy shit.

She'd never really paid attention to Sesshoumaru's smell before, but his scent was downright heavenly, even to a human.

Wait...what the hell was she doing?!

Jolting, Kagome broke away from the clothing as though burned, cheeks blazing.

The damage had already been done though. She couldn't rid herself of the potent, fresh, stirring scent of him. Intoxicating. She had the ridiculous urge to bundle herself in his clothes and hibernate.

Shadows moving on the wall caught her attention, and Kagome turned, gaping.

Sesshoumaru stared back. A feral, burning gaze slid to the clothes in her arms.

"Sesshoumaru!" she squeaked too loud. "I-I was just…" floundering, she gestured helplessly, "you left your clothes lying around! Are you that irresponsible? Even my brother knows to fold his clothes and clean up after himself."

His brow arched, cutting through her bluster. "Mn...does your brother also smell other people's clothes as you do?"

"I…" she faltered. So he had seen. Death loomed imminent on the horizon. "I-I'm really sorry- I'm not usually this much of a creep, I swear. Something just came over me."

The Daiyoukai gazed at her expressionlessly, face smooth as though carved from marble, not willing to divulge one single hint as to his thoughts. Golden eyes gave off their own glow within the shadowed space, slit pupils magnetic, drawing her in.

Kagome swallowed, needing to inhale shakily- feeling breathless suddenly. An unknown energy hummed in the air, rousing. Similar to youki and yet not. A pulsing thing that stirred her insides. Her heart drummed, spurred on by his strange, inhuman stillness that sent alarm bells ringing- instincts recognising a predator when they saw one.

She drew her heel back, thighs squeezing together.

No, no… she squeezed her eyes shut. Don't get the wrong idea. He's not into you, damn it. All those times I've caught him looking at me lately were just coincidence-

Sesshoumaru's handsome features blurred, appearing much too close for comfort. Their noses brushed, breaths mingling. Kagome squeaked, back meeting a wall.

"Do you have a particular interest in my scent, miko?" he purred, apparently more amused by the predicament than offended.

Great, as if his ego needed any more stroking.

Kagome huffed, avoiding eye contact and using his bundled clothes as a shield. "It wasn't a bad scent, I guess. As far as smells go though it was nothing special."

What a big fat lie. His hankimono smelled like the equivalent of cat-nip to felines. Downright mouth-watering. She wanted to dip her nose down and inhale again, but knew that to be crossing a line she'd long since bulldozed over moments ago.

Pale lips curved, and Sesshoumaru cocked his head. Silver hair spilt down over one shoulder.

"Are you certain it was so average?" he leaned closer, the atmosphere tightening with silent expectation in the wake of his hushed voice. "Only this one thought he detected a strong, telling reaction to my scent. From you."

Her chest began to heave. Damn it. She'd tried to repress her awful, inconvenient attraction to this demon for months. This was bad. Very bad.

Kagome's teeth gnawed on her bottom lip, blood heating the second slit pupils zeroed in on the action, dilating.

A trickle of wetness touched her inner thigh, and Kagome flushed red, embarrassingly slick.

And he hadn't even touched her.

"Must've been your imagination," she panted.

Sesshoumaru's muscles coiled, nostrils flaring. His lips parted, letting out a low, appreciative rumble. A sharp canine could be glimpsed, saliva-coated.

Kagome shook herself firmly. She wasn't some swooning maiden looking to sigh over him and inevitably face rejection. Ducking around his side, she managed to avoid touching his arm. "Anyway, we should really-"

A hand locked around the back of her neck, dark hair catching about his claws. Kagome gasped, freezing as Sesshoumaru tugged her in close, lips brushing her ear, tilting his head to allow her access to the length of his neck.

"Perhaps you should check again," golden eyes caught hers, gleaming in the shadows.

Shock slammed through her ribcage. Was he serious?

Kagome shifted, tentatively leaning toward him, checking his reactions for signs of trickery. When he remained magnanimous, placid, she carefully touched a firm shoulder. Her nose bumped his neck, inhaling softly.

The same bolt of arousal shot down her spine, and arms immediately captured her. Kagome gasped, holding on around his neck. Sesshoumaru caged her against the wall, claws catching in the material at her hip, biting through it to nick her skin.

"You should know; this one will be going into rut soon. My scent has thus become stronger- but I did not anticipate a human being able to detect it. The others at the festival did not seem to."

"O-oh…" Kagome's mouth opened in a silent gasp as his open mouth pressed to her neck, sucking and lapping at the skin.

"I seek a mate, Kagome," he hissed in her ear.

She shivered, thinking he was just playing with her. There was no way the great Daiyoukai seriously meant to hint toward anything so monumental. "Really?" she played along, stroking the back of his neck. "Sounds interesting."

He crooned, shuddering slightly. "Why are you wearing his colour?" Sesshoumaru uttered quietly, lips ghosting her jaw, "when it is painfully obvious you are not his any longer."

Kagome wanted to argue and say she hadn't thought of it as Inuyasha's colour, but he was right.

"I didn't have anything else to wear," she breathed.

"Hn, and this was to be worn for his enjoyment," teeth dragged at her neck in a firm, exhilarating scape. His thumb hooked under her obi, unexpectedly grabbing it tight. "Red does not suit you, miko," he said flippantly. "White is much more befitting."

Fabric gaped open at her shoulders a moment later. Sesshoumaru's hand came back into sight, having blurred so quick it had sliced through the material like butter.

Kagome gasped, letting go of him to hold the severed clothing to her chest as it threatened to gape open.

Indignation suddenly gripped her, and she snarled. "You jerk! This was expensive! I'm a college student, you know? I don't have money to waste! B-besides Kaede took ages helping me prepare for this festival and now you've-"

Lips crashed to hers, firm fingers grasping her chin to hold her in place. Kagome squeaked, skull pressing uncomfortably against the wall, but one sharp inhale from her and she felt gooey again, shifting her mouth against his. His lips felt nice, a little softer than expected. He coaxed her mouth open but it was Kagome who pressed forward- brushing her tongue inside the hot cavern of his mouth first.

Feeling wicked and daring enough- she bit down on his bottom lip.

Sesshoumaru made a stifled noise against her mouth. He rumbled like distant thunder, the noise vibrating from his chest. His hips rocked forward, nestling himself intimately against her and grinding. Shuddering, Kagome gripped his clothes tight, experimentally running a tongue over his fangs.

The reaction was immediate. Sesshoumaru caged her harder against the wall, grabbing her beneath her thighs and hooking them around his waist, grinding against her harder with a muffled growl.

"Hah- are we uh- really going to do this?" Kagome pulled away, feeling him lick her lips and nip her mouth.

"Hn, unless you have some paltry last-minute protests, miko," he uttered, eyes half lidded. Gentle knuckles ran down the length of her blushing cheek. "Long have I awaited the day in which the last vestiges of your 'love' for my wretched half-brother be shed. Do not toy with me by pretending you don't feel this," his hand snaked between them, pressing firmly against her covered sex and rubbing. Kagome moaned, blushing furiously.

"I wasn't playing coy! I'm just saying; we should move this elsewhere! I want you- but I-I'm not doing anything while in Sango and Miroku's hut."

Sesshoumaru blinked with surprise, shoulders relaxing. His arms wrapped around her waist, blurring out the door.

Wind lashed at Kagome's hair, colours streaking around her. Clutching onto the demon with barely concealed relief, she reeled from the situation.

Even when he stopped just shy of a cave, pinning her down to the cool earth with feverish kisses, it felt unreal. How bizarre. Against all logic and the status quo, they'd connected. It was Sesshoumaru's hands on her body.

"Say it again," he whispered huskily against her, nipping a hot trail down her neck.

She jolted, "I'm not doing anything while in-?"

"No- say that you want me."

Kagome forced herself to wake up, clutching at his head and dragging him up from her neck to kiss him passionately. She was going to participate and enjoy every damn moment of this. She'd been waiting long enough.

"I want you," she breathed. Swinging her legs up to tighten her thighs around his waist, nestled him close. "I want you so much, Sesshoumar- ah!"

He ripped the red kimono open, cupping her breast and squeezing.

Sounds from the village celebration reached them, somewhat too close for comfort. Kagome hoped no one took a late stroll through the darkened forest. Drumming and flute music melded with her heartbeat, warm light from a towering bonfire obscured by the thick trees.

Sesshoumaru's grunts were hushed in comparison with the distant noises. She longed to hear more from him, biting blunt nails into the flesh of his back the second his mouth latched onto her exposed nipple.

He grunted slightly louder, but that wasn't good enough. Mewling as a sinuous tongue lapped and teased at her hardening peak, Kagome's hands began tugging impatiently at his clothes.

With a chuckle, he obliged, heatedly kissing the valley of her breasts while assisting her with stripping him. His dark outer layer went first, obi loosened and tossed aside, underlayer ripped off. Kagome's face pressed to his neck, nuzzling there, before biting down.

"Gn-ngh!"

Ah, that had been a nice sound.

Kagome flushed red, only growing wetter as Sesshoumaru panted against her, attempting to wrestle back control by palming her breast.

Grinning, she scraped hungry teeth over his throat, clamping down and sucking hard, branding his skin with a hickey. Sesshoumaru gasped and hissed, and Kagome quickly palmed the outline of his cock through his hakama pants, relishing in the feeling of him jerking against her, hips stuttering.

I did that. Me.

The realisation sent a cool breeze of confidence through Kagome, ego emboldened. Her hair was roughly yanked back, Sesshoumaru's red-eyes glaring into hers, but she felt content. Secure in her own sexuality for the first time in a while.

"I will not last long if you continue to do such things, miko," he uttered darkly.

Kagome licked her lips, grinning mischievously, dark hair pooling around his fist. "Do what?"

His clothed cock twitched in her hand. A feral grin crept across the Daiyoukai's shadowed face until every one of his teeth showed.

It should've been a terrifying expression, but it sent a bolt of weird excitement all the way to Kagome's toes. She lifted her arms for him.

Sesshoumaru immediately lunged down like a starving wolf about to consume prey. He shed the last of his clothing and took impatient claws to her kimono, shedding it to ribbons. With a quick, hard kiss, large hands clamped onto her hips, angling them up.

"You had best brace yourself, Kagome."

Kagome smiled, reaching out to stroke a magenta stripe hooking low on his 'v' line. "I think I can handle it."

He looked deliciously rumpled, barely holding onto control, panting like a strained, wild animal. Even his voice held a faint growl under it. "This will trigger my rut, which will last several days," he wrapped a hand around her throat, gently squeezing. "You will make for a splendid cock-warmer for the foreseeable future."

"Wait, what?" she stiffened. Several days?!

He smirked wickedly, "my apologies, I should not refer to my prospective mate thus."

"Prospective mate? Okay- that's...wow. I thought you were just joking about that," Kagome gaped, touching his chest. "I didn't think you'd ever kiss me up until a few minutes ago and now we're talking like this is potentially a marriage deal?"

"Hn, as stated; I have wanted this for some time," he stated easily. Always so resolute, absolutely certain in what he wanted. "If you have a problem with it, now is the time to say. There is a high chance I will accidentally mate you while in rut."

Kagome bit her lip. It would be incredibly irresponsible of her to agree when they weren't even dating. However...

She gazed up at him, remembering all their scant little conversations over the months. How they'd built a quiet little camaraderie that had started fanning the flames of heady desire in the first place. She didn't know him romantically. But she knew him through things like battle and little things. Trusted him. Liked him.

Moreover, the desire twisting in her gut wouldn't be silenced. Not to be dramatic but Kagome felt like she'd die if they stopped now.

Definitely overdramatic but-

She wrapped a hand around his large cock, testing the weight of it in her hand, stroking. Bringing him down for a kiss cemented her answer. A little spur of the moment but throwing her whole heart into it. Sesshoumaru quickly rushed in, mouth bruising hers in its force. The palpable sense of relief flooded through him into her.

With a quick brush of his fingers over her dripping sex, as though checking her readiness- Sesshoumaru angled his hips down, pushing inside her.

Blue eyes flew wide, all humour leaving Kagome's face. It felt big inside her, almost too much to joke about. She stiffened and shuddered, incredibly full without him completely inside.

"Relax for me, miko," his hissing, velvety voice tried to soothe, stroking her cheek and trailing his touch down to her clit, stimulating her. Kagome panted, drawing him in close and angling her throat, baring it to him. Sesshoumaru gratefully kissed and nuzzled the available flesh, groaning.

He stayed motionless and sucked greedily on her neck for a few moments while she adjusted to his size, until Kagome felt she was about as comfortable as it was going to get. She squirmed, impatiently rolling her hips. Taking the hint, he pulled out and pushed in again, grunting as slick walls clamped tightly around him. With a low rumble that vibrated from his chest into hers, Sesshoumaru began a slow, strenuous tempo.

Moaning in his ear, Kagome cradled him close, exploring the plains of his muscular back.

"It feels so good," she panted.

The whole thing felt achingly tight and full, but the more he moved the more it began to feel mouth-wateringly addictive. Trying to fray his control, Kagome smiled in the dark. Reiki spilt to life on the pads of her fingers, trailing biting ends into his shoulders.

Sesshoumaru gasped- a sharp jerk of his striped hips sending her yelping.

His hand immediately clamped onto her head, forcing her down and pinning her body tight against the ground. "So you desire it rougher, miko? Good," he purred. "I wondered if you'd make for a soft or biting lover. I am pleased to find it is the latter."

His cock pushed all the way in abruptly, sending a choked noise up Kagome's windpipe. Her lungs compressed as Sesshoumaru began pounding ferally into her, hips snapping forward mercilessly.

Kagome wasn't deterred. She kept sending bursts of holy power trailing over his skin, until mokomoko lashed around her wrists, pinning her arms above her head. Mewling happily, Kagome panted, blue eyes pleasantly hazed. Sesshoumaru's markings turned jagged- lips pulling back over bared teeth, growling with each slam of his hips.

Having gotten used to the sensation, Kagome thrust eagerly up to meet his frantic tempo. "Please," she whispered mindlessly. "Harder- fuck me harder."

With a savage noise, Sesshoumaru pulled out of her. Blue eyes flew wide as large hands flipped her over to land on her stomach, grass cushioning her breasts and knees- dripping thighs spread.

An unnervingly long tongue snaked between her legs, licking at her inner folds.

"Ah-!" she gasped, moaning. It flicked briefly inside, tasting, and she rocked against it.

The sensation drew away then- replaced by the hard pressure of his cock. It sank inside her with one fierce slam that knocked the breath out of her.

Kagome's body turned to mush beneath his, mouth open in a daze. Sesshoumaru angled her ass up, setting a dangerously quick speed, pistoning his hips.

"Fuck- fuck-" he grunted lowly, a strangled, harsh mutter against her hair. Kagome felt hot breath panting against the back of her neck. "You are- gn- exquisite. Come for me, and I will give you a reward."

"Yes-" she managed to pant.

Gritting her teeth, hands curled into mokomoko's soft furs. Heat shot low in her stomach, twisting. A particularly hard thrust that hit deep in her core had Kagome crying out, clenching around him like a vice, releasing. Pleasure rushed through her veins, clamping her inner walls around him.

Sesshoumaru made a loud, guttural noise, biting her shoulder while simultaneously ramming himself entirely inside her, allowing her tight cunt to milk him dry, spilling his seed within.

Kagome cried mindless gibberish, saliva escaping the corner of her mouth. She felt so deliciously full, a curious heat spreading through her veins out from his bitemark.

Vague worry about him releasing inside was counteracted with the contraceptive pill she'd been taking. Modern birth control could ward off demonic sperm, right?

Kagome soaked in bliss, too dopey and content to really worry about it.

The demon at her back shuddered, breathing ragged. Sesshoumaru slowly pulled out of her, turning her over onto her back and licking at the salty sweat peppering her form.

This only coaxed the embers of muted arousal to climb higher once more. She shivered, skin sensitive.

Red eyes slid up to meet hers, arms circling her waist. "I will not be returning you for some time."

"I'm alright with that," she grinned weakly, wrestling both arms free from mokomoko to loop them around his neck. "At least take me inside the cave next time."

"Hn, not that you minded being exposed," Sesshoumaru licked at her cheek, lifting her into his arms. Rumbling possessively, he stood, carrying the naked miko towards his claimed cave.

Kagome arched a brow once they made it inside, noticing the rich nest of furs awaiting them for a bed, along with packages of food and tall vases containing water. Torches flickered to life with a scant burst of youki.

"You're pretty prepared for this," a thought occurred to her, gaping. "Wait- if you were so close to going into rut, why were you attending the festival? D-did you anticipate this happening?"

Sesshoumaru stared at her in silence. Crimson eyes flickered in the torchlight, blazing redder and brighter than the robe of the fire-rat.

With a sonorous, guttural chuckle and sharp gleaming teeth, Sesshoumaru descended upon her mouth once more. Kagome squeaked, soon recovering and growling, arching up out of his arms to topple him back into the furs.

Straddling his lap, she grinned, inhaling his addictive scent once more. If he was going to claim her countless times, she may as well score a few rounds herself first.

SessKag Week Day 5: Blue

💙💙Lacquered Longing💙💙

Previous days: 💚🖤❤️ 🤍

Summary: They’d had no idea, when they came together, what fate had in store for them to overcome. After surviving their separation across the centuries, Kagome is shocked by the way Sesshomaru has kept himself anchored. But not all coping mechanisms are bad.

Also read on: AO3

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

The very second she’d arrived in the future after being forced through the well by a vanquished jewel, he’d been there, grabbing her up in a crushing embrace and burying his nose in her hair, taking deep, ragged lungfuls of her scent before a sob wracked his body.

Her heart shattered then.

The well was completely dead and silent. It was obvious he’d lived out the centuries waiting to join her again, living alone and most likely in pain, if the way her part of the soul bond they shared pulsed angrily was any clue.

He said nothing, grabbing her up and clutching her close as he flew them out of the well house, off of the shrine and to a distant property with a small house in the center, surrounded by trees.

He took her inside, walked to the bedroom and descended on her like a mad man, crushing his mouth to hers, tearing her clothes away, wrapping himself up in her for hours as he reestablished their connection, calmed his raging yoki with her scent, and soothed his raw, jagged instincts with the simple fact of her presence.

He’d been nearly feral the entire time, and so she pushed away all of her questions, worries, and reassurances, and simply gave herself into his hands to do with as he pleased.

There was such an undercurrent of desperation, a wildness he’d always kept so contained, and more than once she’d felt his tears as they fell from his eyes and dripped onto her flesh.

She murmured, she whispered, she stroked and touched and gripped as he simply nuzzled and growled, beyond the ability for words as centuries of broken sadness and shattered soul bonds still throbbed like fresh wounds demanding treatment.

She was the only balm that would cure him, and so she let him take his fill.

It was the dead of night when he finally calmed enough to just hold her, arms locked tight around her back as if she might dissolve the moment he let go.

But she didn’t fight.

She kissed across his chest, traced patters up and down his back, nuzzled his throat one that way she knew spoke right to who he was as an Inu, and soon enough he was much more relaxed, though his hands never left her body.

She stared blankly over his shoulder at a wall, staring at the painting that hung there before her eyes moved to his hand dragging lightly down her arm, and then they widened when she finally noticed-

His claws were blue.

She pulled her arm out from under him and grabbed his hand, bringing it closer to her face to be sure.

The high polished shine of nail varnish was unmistakable, and they’d been done with a very practiced hand, the finish even and smooth.

She blinked, she frowned, she tilted her head in confusion.

“Um. I like your nail polish.”

“Thank you.” He said quietly, voice still weak and gravely as his yoki still hadn’t fully calmed.

She winced.

The first real words they’d spoken to each other all evening, and now it just seemed so trivial and silly.

“Um, Sesshomaru?”

“Hn?”

“I really have to pee.” She admitted, cheeks scalding in embarrassment. But he simply chuckled, wrapped her in another embrace, kissed her head, and pointed her in the direction of the master bathroom.

She scurried inside and flipped the light on, quickly relieving herself, antsy to get back to him and continue soothing him through this painful healing process when she noticed a very large wire rack attached to the wall across from the toilet.

It was clearly designed to hold nail polish bottles, and she gasped as her eyes ran over hundreds of bottles in every color under the sun, every brand both budget and designer she’d ever heard of, and every finish from dull matte to riotous holo glitter.

She shook her head and blinked several times, but the rack of nail colors never vanished, so she washed her hands, and as she looked for a towel to dry them, she finally asked one of the questions burning in her mind.

“So you… really like painting your nails, huh?”

“I suppose you could say that.”

“You suppose?!” She exclaimed, turning away from the sink and stopping in the bathroom door.

He was sitting up now, his hair, which now only brushed just passed his shoulders, was messy and mussed, the sheets gathered around his waist.

“Sesshomaru there’s thousands of dollars worth of polish in here. Some of these bottles are hundreds of dollars a piece. If you’re not really into painting your claws then… what’s all this for?”

He hesitated for a moment, and she had one awful second where she thought he may be about to admit he had some kind of live in lover he’d been keeping company with until she returned, but her heart broke again when some of the light in his eyes dimmed again and his stare went distant, clearly 500 years in the past again.

“Do you remember that snow oni that trapped us in that cave with that blizzard? The one we couldn’t leave for 3 days?”

“Yes of course. We all almost killed Inuyasha for complaining so much.”

“Yes.”

“What about it though?”

“Do you remember on the second day when you dug through your bag for things to do? You had been finished with your schooling for some time and had no books, so you pulled out a collection of nail varnishes. You painted your nails, then the slayer’s. The monk demurred and Inuyasha scoffed when you offered your services to them but I did not. Do you remember that as well?”

“Of course I do. That was… that was when I first realized I had a crush on you.” She admitted with a blush. He held his arms open, a silent plea to come to him again, and she did so with no hesitation.

She curled up in his lap, sighing in contentment as he squeezed her and rocked them back and forth, rumbling deep and low in his chest, and she noticed that the connection between their souls no longer felt like it was bleeding.

“That was the moment I realized I had certain feelings for you, as well. Or at least, it’s when I allowed myself to begin noticing you as something… more.”

“I never knew that.” She whispered, and she felt when he nodded against the top of her head.

“Yes. When the well took you from my side and sealed you away from me, I was inconsolable. The severing a soul bond is not a pleasant experience Kagome, and there was a time that I did not know if I would survive the madness it threatened me with.

But I did, mostly thanks to my brother, and when I found I could function mostly as a person again, I began painting my claws as you did that night. It made me feel close to you, and the process was therapeutic. And so I continued with the practice and even came to appreciate the aesthetic of it.”

“Oh Sesshomaru. I’m so so sorry. I never would have chosen to leave your side, I hope you know that.”

“I do.” He replied, nuzzling they top of her head, once more savoring her scent.

She settled into him once more, resting her head on his shoulder, and then grabbed one of his hands again, studying his nails and their shiny cobalt color.

It was beautiful, but it was plain. She remembered all the sparkly shades adorning his- their?- bathroom wall and she got an idea she couldn’t resist.

“Well, they look very very nice, you’re obviously very skilled, but….”

“But?”

“Can I redo them? You have so many pretty colors! Some are so sparkly! Please please please?!”

He chuckled again, and she was so pleased by how real and easy it sounded after facing the full brunt of his heartache.

“Alright Kagome. Go pick your favorite.”

She dashed away, squealing in excitement, picking the brightest, gaudiest, sparkliest color he had, and she bounced back to the bed with it.

“I knew it would be that one.”

“Dont complain! You obviously like it enough to buy it in the first place!”

“I bought it in hopes of this very thing happening. I’ve never worn it.”

She gasped again, tears swimming in her eyes that he wiped away and shushed her gently, cuddling her close again.

“It is alright, my mate, you are once more returned to me, and with every moment that passes I feel more secure in believing you are not another dream. I’m ready to lay the heartache aside and find my happiness with you again.”

“Okay.” She sighed, wiping away the last of her tears and sitting up again, and he wiggled his claws in her face, reminding her of her task.

“Oh yeah! I couldn��t find your acetone, though.”

“I do not need it.” He held his claws up and summoned his poison until they glowed a bright, blinding green. After several seconds he snuffed them out, and his blue polish was gone.

“Well that’s handy. Alright, let’s get started!”

He reclined back in the bed, watching her indulgently as she carefully painted each and every claw a bright, florescent shade of pink so full of glitter it looked like his nails were made of diamond.

And then she beamed as he returned the favor, trying not to laugh at the absurdity of having the once terrible war lord hunched over her hand, brow furrowed in concentration as he meticulously painted over her blunt human nails.

She was so proud of their matching manicures that she forced him out of the house and back into the city for breakfast before she allowed him to lock her up for himself again.

And when the rest of the rents in his soul were finished being stitched back together by the renewed melding of her soul with his, he reunited her with the rest of the living members of their pack, and the future no longer loomed so dark and heavy.

SessKag is the ship hill I will die on. That’s the only reason I’m still in this fandom, still in this space.

Hey,

Honestly same. Joining this fandom was a curse and a blessing all at once. The sesskag fandom itself is a complete blessing and this ship makes it worth getting into Inuyasha for me

Sesskag is the only thing keeping me in this fandom too lol. This ship has a lot of potential and I thirst for Kagome and Sesshoumaru lol. There’s so much talent in this fandom and a lot of cool people. I feel lucky to be sesskag cuz we have so much good content and the people are so chill

Thanks

Hi there! I’m kinda new in the sesskag fandom and after the yashahime mess I wanna drown in fluffy fics lol. Any recs involving sesskag + shippo + rin (plus sesskag oc kids would be awesome) family dynamics? Thank you!

Hi Anon,

I apologize for the delay in response.

I'm in agreement with you on the need for some good fics after Yashahime. We already have a few rec lists that meet your criteria, such as the family/pregnancy list and the have kids list but there have been some new fics posted since then or that we haven’t featured before. I've compiled a list below.

If you need more fluff, I highly recommend checking out our Fluff Serial and Fluff One Shots lists.

Enjoy reading! ~ Admin Sage

I honestly don't know if this has been done before 😅 but...

I tried to curate all of the important dates in Inuyasha fandom. Mostly are celebration events for pairings and families that are canon per Rumiko Takahashi (appear or mentioned in the animanga), held both on tumblr and twitter, but I also put some rare pair/crack ship events in it. I was hoping that by collecting it all in one place, then we could have a one big timeline for (nearly) all our weekly or monthly events 😁 So it would be easier for artists and authors to track which event they wanted to participate in or maybe it could be used to just simply keeping up with their schedules, because after writing it all down I've realized that our fandom's agenda are packed 😂😂

Some of the events I wrote already have fixed dates for this year's celebration, but there are others that haven't as well. For those with no specific date yet, I put the estimation when will it be held e.g. mid September, end October, etc., based on its last year's schedule.

So, without further ado, here is the timeline based on what I've managed to gathered:

January

January 10th–16th: #InuNoTaishoWeek (twitter) (host: @InuNoTaishoWeek)

January 16th: InuParents Day (host: @inuparentsday)

February

February 14th: Inuyasha Sugar & Spice event (host: @inuyasha-sugar-and-spice)

March

March 14th: Inuyasha Sugar & Spice event (host: @inuyasha-sugar-and-spice)

mid March: #MirSanWeek (twitter) (last year: March 20th–26th)

March 29th: #InuKagversary (twitter) (ending date of the anime)

last week of March: #SessRinWeek (twitter)

April

all April: Kagome's Hanakotoba Matsuri (host: @kagomes-hanakotobamatsuri)

April 1st: Inuyasha's birthday (unoff/hc/not confirmed by RT)

April 30th: Kagome's birthday (unoff/hc/not confirmed by RT)

April 29th–May 1st: #SessKikWeekend (host: @sesskik-weekend)

May

mid May: #SessKaguWeek (host: @sesskaguweek) (last year: May 10th–16th)

May 22nd–28th: #InuFleetWeek (host: @inu-mothership)

June

all June: Inuyasha Pride Month (host: @inuyashapridemonth)

June 12th–18th or 13th–19th (TBD): #InuKagWeek (host: @inukag-week)

June 18th: #InuKagversary (ending date of the manga)

June 21st: Inu-spiration 3 (host: @inu-spiration)

July

July 3rd–30th: KogKag event "Sparks Fly" (host: @fuckyeahkogkag)

October 16th: Inuyasha anime anniversary (first episode aired)

October 25th–31st: Trick or Treat: A KogKag Halloween (host: @fuckyeahkogkag)

last week of October: #HogoshamaruWeek (host: @hogoshamaruweek-2021) (last year: October 25th – 31st)

November

November 1st–13th: #Inuvember (host: @inuvember)

November 3rd: Inuyasha's birthday in Chinese fandom (unoff/hc/not confirmed by RT)

November 13th: Inuyasha manga anniversary (first chapter released)

December

December 4th: Inuyasha's birthday (unoff/hc/not confirmed by RT)

last week of December: Inu Secret Santa (host: @inusecretsanta) (last year: December 19th–24th)

I feel like I've listed as much events as I can, as precisely as possible, but I can't help thinking that maybe there are events that I missed or I've put in the wrong dates 😅 So... if it's possible (and if it won't bother you), I would like to ask for help from some mods in each events to recheck the dates/estimation of your event that I've put in the list above. Or maybe there are several events that I forgot to add, it would be such a great help if you could tell me which are those 🥺🥺

After all the data are confirmed, I'm thinking of converting this written timeline into some sort of calendar agenda so that it would be easier (and more pleasant!) to look at and easier to share across platforms, too, because it'd be just like sharing pictures 😁

I wanna say thank you in advance for anyone who's willing to help me check and review the list, and also sorry if I'm putting another stuff to your to-do-list 😭😭 I appreciate and extremely welcome any kind of help as well as criticisms and advises, it means so much to me 🥲🥲 Once again, thank you so much everyone! 😭😭🙏

cc. mods from each events

InuParents Day: @ruddcatha @neutronstarchild @dawnrider @superpixie42 @fawn-eyed-girl

IY Sugar & Spice: @clearwillow @dawnrider @keichanz @lemonlushff @omgitscharlie @underwater0phelia

SessKaguWeek: @kagkik @every--heart

InuFleetWeek: @fawn-eyed-girl @mrfeenysmustache @neutronstarchild @ruddcatha @sapphirestarxx

Inuyasha Pride Month: @anisaanisa @callmegri @livinginthefifthdimension @fandomobsessions016 @gaykagome @InusSunflower

InuKagWeek, Inuvember (and soon InuKagversary 🤭): @inukag

KogKag event: @nikkxb @ezielovesbirds @commandercrouton

InuKagFluffWeek: @lavaffair @emberstreak

Inuyasha Sins Week: @lemonlushff

P.S. I'm sorry to mods that I haven't tagged. I tried to find your un but I couldn't find it so 🥲 I hope this post gets to you somehow so that you'd be aware that I'm currently mapping a timeline for your event 😂

P.S.S. If anyone's wondering, I didn't put all SessRin ship events in the timeline because they have so many events in just one month, that if I attempted to put every and each one of them, all the scheduled events will overlap. That's why I think it'd be better if SessRin shippers made their own calendar agenda.

SessKag Week Day 3: Power and Passion

The first three days of prompts will be combined into a three chapter fic. This is chapter 3 of 3. For Day/Chapter1 click 💚 and for Day/Chapter 2 click 🖤

Summary: In order to solve a most pressing problem without giving in to the pressures of his station, Sesshomaru seeks out the aid of a famed and fabled Nature Goddess living deep in the wilds of the Eastern Lands. She is NOT who he expects, but she solves his problem, and then a few more.

Due to the length of this chapter, please read on AO3

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Chapter 3 Preview🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

They fell into a rhythm that soothed all the chafed parts of him he’d had bound up and pushed aside for too long.

He hunted and prowled every day, letting both his yoki and instincts loose to flare and flame in the wilderness that surrounded them; he exerted physical effort felling and hauling trees to add space to the Miko’s house; he learned how to build, he read through scrolls and taught himself certain spells when Kagome was busy with something else; he helped her experiment with adding doses of yoki to potions to strengthen them; she taught him how to converse by always having something to say or a question to ask.

His new life, though much less grand and opulent, was easier to breath and move in. There was no yokai court, no advisers, no nobles, no squabbling aristocrats, no competitors looking for any single chink in his armor, any weakness in his form, waiting to pounce the second he had his guard down.

There was only endless possibility… and Kagome.

Autumn Glow: a Sesshoumaru & Rin father/daughter oneshot

Summary: Sesshoumaru looks on as Kohaku and Rin dance at their wedding, ever ageing and changing without him. Kohrin. (Sesskag if you squint but it can be seen as platonic)

Made for @hogoshamaruweek-2021

---

Liquid gold shone with a fiery autumn glow as he gazed toward the bonfire. The humans were loud. A dull roar to his finely tuned ears as he tuned out their obnoxious merry-making. On any other occasion, he'd have stood further away from the fringes of the crowd or skipped out on the village celebration altogether.

The child glanced over her shoulder and smiled.

Sesshoumaru offered a very faint curve at the bottom right hand side of his mouth in return.

She was dancing tonight, pulling a lanky boy with her around and around the towering flames. Their shadows were tall, stretching far beyond the gathering.

The child wore no shoes, twirling around with her partner with a clumsy spontaneity. Joy filled her dance, wild hair swaying and free. Funnily enough, her husband had forgone shoes as well. Kohaku's doleful features had warmed into something gentle and reverent tonight; A kind of quiet passion that put Sesshoumaru at ease to witness.

The children would be fine.

They'd stumble, but ultimately laugh and sway with one another in their wedding attire, just as they would through life.

Sesshoumaru's golden eyes softened, vision relaxing until the images of the embracing children blurred.

When they refocused, two grown humans stood in their place.

Sesshoumaru blinked slowly. A kind of unease crept into his near-immortal heart.

"Why don't you go dance with your kid?"

Sesshoumaru's attention slid down, noticing the time travelling miko arching a brow at him.

"I do not dance."

"Oh okay," Kagome snorted. "So I didn't see you do a ballet twirl last week to kill an enemy."

"That twirl was entirely necessary to pull off the attack, miko."

"Suree," she smirked, soon noticing his pensive look towards the flames again. "What's wrong?"

"I am pleased for them."

Kagome gestured for him to elaborate when he gave a lengthy pause. "But?"

His lips thinned. "She is… ageing."

"Oh."

There were no eavesdroppers nearby, so he parted with his pride for just a few moments to disclose something that rendered him faintly vulnerable. "I did not think of it before, but you humans often arrange your lives to follow expected events. Notches in the wood as you grow. Your first tooth, first word, playing, working, marriage, children, grandchildren…" Sesshoumaru trailed off, following the two figures with his eyes intently, as if one blink later they'd have grey hair. "She has aged too quickly."

"She aged at the normal rate for humans," Kagome said gently. "... I can't tell you not to worry about mortality, there's an inevitability to it. It comes for all people, even eventually you. But you know what you can do in the meantime to not feel so hopeless about it?"

"Hn?"

She smiled. "Dance."

Sesshoumaru blinked, looking towards the couple. His chest tightened, heavy with the challenge that would lie ahead. He did not think he could accept mortality. Not ever. He'd been right to hate humans. They were weak. They died so easily. Change came and went around him, a pillar of strength and ageless beauty. He should not heed their lives- a mere leaf in the wind to his mountainous existence.

And yet, Sesshoumaru let out a single sigh, taking a step forward.

"I heard you once say, it is common for the Father of the bride to dance with his daughter, correct?"

Kagome softened, giving a grin. "Sure," she said, a complicated fluctuation in her scent.

Sesshoumaru continued walking, stopping before the children he'd come to know and protect. Rin and Kohaku, high off the night's happy events and slightly tipsy from saké, gave cheers and grabbed his hands, forcing the grumbling Daiyoukai into a dance. They spun in an awkward circle together before Kohaku took their hands in his calloused ones and let them carry on without him.

Sesshoumaru blinked when Rin grinned, showing no gap-toothed smile. How long had it been since she’d grown adult molars? Their travelling together felt like mere months ago.

“I’m so glad you stayed for the party, Lord Sesshoumaru,” Rin chirped. “Master Jaken passed out a few dances ago. I think he had too much to drink. I told him not to overdo it.”

“Hn,” he twirled her, arching a brow when she had to duck slightly under his arm with a giggle. So tall. Had he grown so sentimental that he was feeling nostalgic?

The words came, but they were more difficult to say than expected. Not because he didn’t approve of the match, far from it- Kohaku was the only boy he’d likely approve of to protect his kin. Merely, once they were spoken, Sesshoumaru felt that he’d leave, and the night would be burned into his memory for years to come, long after they’d left him alone, and there were no more obnoxious parties like this to fill the unending silence. “I am...happy for you, Rin.”

Rin smiled widely and tackled him in a hug that smelled of flowers. “Thank you, Papa.”

Resting a hand on her head, Sesshoumaru etched her tiny warmth into his mind, happiness and sadness clashing heavily in his chest, before nodding to Kohaku to continue dancing with her.

Kohaku unexpectedly grasped his arm when the demon tried to pull away, forcing him into yet another dance with the newlyweds. “Stay a little longer, you’re in no hurry to go, are you?” he asked.

Sesshoumaru sighed as if incredibly put out, but gave a single nod. Pulled about by the caprice of their youthful whims, he danced until his feet ached.
