@valuvi, this is absolutely stunning! We love a good fake relationship story, and SessKagura are made for that trope! And as you and @neutronstarchild have shown us, Kagura makes a wonderful witch and we know neither of them will be able to resist the temptation to fall for each other for long!

Omg! We’re a bit late for @inu-spiration but we did it! 🥳 I’m excited to show this fan art for @neutronstarchild ‘s fanfic (which you can read Here )

This was so much fun, and I love the story already! 💜

BUDDY I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE BUT SESSRIN ANTIS ARE ATTACKING ME FOR A POST I MADE!!!!!

Hi, it's been a long time. How are you xD?

Which post???

Wait a minute... O.o if it's SessRin, it's usually some sort of pedo allegations or something. Or you know .. the ol' ship war.. usually vs SessKagu or KohakuRin. No offense to them, all ships are valid and all fiction is just fiction after all.

Actually, I haven't been very invested in Inuyasha since 2010(?) when this blog was a InuKag, Inukik, and Narkik blog . but let me write a defend post for them since many attacks towards SessRin are from salty purists who cannot differentiate fiction from reality. And

I understand that reading comprehension has been very poor in the west, ppl keep bringing modern human moral standard to a story where the setting takes place in the feudal era or the fantasy era where many other races besides human exist soo...

Let the SessRin haters know that Sesshomaru is literally a dog demon so not only modern moral standards do not apply to him, it also does not exist because in feudal Japan, peasants usually marry as young as 16 y.o. (and Yashahime confirmed she marries him when she's an adult)

(don't get me talking about father-daughter relationship, grooming accusations and power balance because none of them are true at all. Especially when Sesshomaru never fed Rin, he told her to look food for herself. Parental figure PROVIDE basic needs for their child. Sesshomaru did not. They are just travelling companions who happened to saved each other before.)

Roasting SessRin over pedo debate is also useless because by the same logic, almost all Inuyasha ships are minor x adult , including InuKag, Inukik, Narkik , SessKago and even SessKagura (Inuyasha is 15 yo mentally but physically he is 150 yo. Anyway, Inuyasha is also a demon, modern moral does not apply to them)

(Inuyasha's age is confirmed in Inuyasha the Movie 3 where he was born in 1347. Sengoku-jidai aka the Japan warring period is the 15th century, 1543-1553)

Yes you did not read that wrong. Kagura is YOUNGER than Rin, literally! Kagura was created as Naraku's second incarnation AFTER Naraku gained the shikon no tama shards, which was originally in Kagome's body. Naraku waited 50 years after Kikyo's death for this power. So, Kagura is a one year old baby

Unironically InuKag InuKik and SessKagu and the rest are still valid ships despite the pedo-element because this is a story about demons who live in fantasy feudal era. And the most important point is, this is just a cartoon , no actual child or human is involved lmao

This week, our theme is Food and Drink/Cooking and Eating Together, and we have ten stories for you that are focused on the tradition of cooking/baking/eating together. Some of the stories aren't quite holiday-focused, but we hope you will forgive us, as we wanted to find fics that highlighted the joy of sharing a meal.

Stories are listed in alphabetical order, with ship, rating, and status (ongoing or completed) in the parenthetical. We hope you enjoy, and maybe some of these stories will inspire your next meal or your next baking enterprise!

An Annoying Christmas Elf (InuKag; T; complete) by @jeremymarsh

Christmas is still a couple of weeks away and Inuyasha is already sick of hearing the tenant upstairs sing Michael Bublè's entire discography, especially if it's Sunday morning and he's just trying to recover from a hellish week at work. He's ready to give her a piece of his mind, but the meeting doesn't go as hoped.

Apple Pie and Mistletoe (InuKag; M; complete) by @ruddcatha

Called out of town unexpectedly for work just before Christmas, Inuyasha Takahashi asks his best friend Kagome, whom he's secretly loved for years, to house sit. When a storm grounds his plane, will the two friends admit their feelings, or continue to stay silent? What role does Apple Pie and Mistletoe play in what is about to unfold?

The Christmas Cake Tradition (SessKag; T; complete) by @chierafied

In which Sesshoumaru and Kagome attempt to bake a Christmas cake.

Do Hanyos Like Chocolate Chip Cookies? (InuKag; T; complete) by @ruddcatha

Kagome and Inuyasha finally has the opportunity to spend the Christmas Holidays with Kagome's family after several years hunting shards. Kagome teaches Inuyasha the difference between Christmas Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies, and some well placed Mistletoe could finally bring feelings to light.

The Fifth Flavor (InuKag; T; complete) by@cannibalsforbreakfast/Laeoukka (Ao3)

Inuyasha is a world-class photographer, living an isolated existence in a crappy second-floor apartment in Tokyo. His pictures go for thousands of dollars, and he'll photograph anything except people.

Kagome is opening a farm-to-table cafe on the first floor.

When Inuyasha's acute senses lead the two to fight on day one, it seems like these unwilling neighbors are destined to hate each other. But food has a way of fixing everything...

It’s Beginning to Look Like, F*** That (SessKagura; M; complete) by @shade-without-color/streamsofstoriesandcolour (Ao3)

What seems like a way to impress Kagura's colleagues, turned into an awkward baking lesson when she was with Sesshomaru. And it did not help that a certain group of people...is well you know…

Merry Christmas, Inuyasha (InuKag; G; complete) by @splendentgoddess

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shrine, the Higurashis were preparing a meal fine. Kagome went to retrieve the chicken with care, not knowing a certain hanyou had followed her there

The Secret Baking Habits of Sesshōmaru (SessKag; G; complete) by kaoruhana (Ao3)

Stress baking is causing a Christmas Cookie problem for Sesshomaru. Good thing his neighbor Kagome has a sweet tooth.

Treat (SessKag; T; complete) by @sereia1313

Kagome surprises Sesshoumaru after a hard day at work.

たべたい (InuKag; T; complete) by @shade-without-color/streamsofstoriesandcolour (Ao3)

Inuyasha's relationship with food is complicated in his mind, however, it always seems to centre around Kagome and his now-found family.

[humanoidtyphoons]

hate that i want to reread inuyasha for the sesskagura moments tbh. also kind of want to read it for inukik moments, bc i never really got the impression that post-resurrection, kikyo wanted inuyasha back, she was mostly doing her own thing and trying to take down naraku on her own, and usually it was inuyasha seeking out kikyo when he heard she was in the area.

like yeah, kikyo kissed inuyasha and wanted to drag him to hell, but yk, she was angry, i can't entirely fault her for that tbh.

[kokusfluffyhair]

There are SO MANY random occasions of hinting at sexual tension or Sesshomaru showing even a minor concern for Kagura over the course of the story. And it all comes together at the ending when Sesshomaru admits that he came when Kagura was dying to SEE HER, not because he was smelling Naraku. Even one of the anime openings (or endings? I don't remember) puts them together:

As beautiful it is as a part of the tragedy of her character that she was able to experience the small happiness -- which was enough to make her smile at the time of her death -- of being viewed as her individual person (as in, free from Naraku, in a way) by not just someone else, but THE someone else, I wish she could have survived. I understand in writing this genre that Kagura "had" to die because she was a piece of Naraku, who had to be destroyed in order for the story to resolve itself. But, instead of Kagura's body collapsing the moment Sesshomaru pulled out the Tenseiga to save her, she could have held on a bit longer and have been revived -- however, she could have lost her demonic energy and have been revived as a human. As a human who might have additional weaknesses due to the situation of her body, Sesshomaru could have brought her to his mother's to stay safe until the end of the story. His mother, who has these death-related tricks up her sleeve from the Meido Stone, could have had a barrier put up around Kagura that would make her energy seem like it was already in the underworld. This wouldn't be for Kagura to go out and fight during the rest of the story, but for a protective measure so Naraku wouldn't be sensing her being alive and attacking the Sky Castle -- though Naraku honestly has much more to concern himself with than that. Honestly too, it annoys me that Kagura couldn't be saved but that Rin was able to cheat death twice and Kohaku was able to survive after he was shot by a bunch of arrows as a child and then had a Shikon Jewel shard in his back to sustain his life. They go through hurdles to save these characters, but Kagura got nothing even though she was on the path to being a redeemed villain. With my proposed ending for Kagura, she would have to "pay" for her own wrongdoings and her birth having been from Naraku by living the rest of her days -- no matter how long or short -- as a human. (Personally, I don't think Kagura should have to "pay" for anything, but some people watching this genre would think she should, so just to please a bit of everyone in the fandom, she'll get a "punishment".) But she will also be left an opportunity for retribution in peace and along with Sesshomaru can go through experiencing these newly-addressed feelings that neither of them had ever concerned themselves with before. It's kind of sweet when you think about it like that.

This chapter just feels so much heartbreaking in its beauty.

Did you notice Takahashi's use of images and onomatopeias? The way we can hear that "BOMP" of Kagura's heart as she sees Sesshomaru? To think that the very first thing she's felt through that so much wanted heart of hers just after got it was pain, and pain alone, physically and emotionally, and yet now she finally is able to feel something good, like a tiny light within warming her.

Naraku once again meant to prove his point that the lives of the weakest are meaningless. At least this time he could not win.

I would write pages upon pages about this chapter alone, maybe some day.

Hello I'm back

It feels like I missed sth, no, a lot of things

[inu-spiration]

@mrfeenysmustache you and @sayuri-liu have created such a wonderful Halloween treat for us!! Sesshomaru may be the Prince of Darkness, but even he must bow to Kagura 🔥 Absolutely wonderful!

Interlude

A SessKagu story based on super steamy art by @sayuri-liu for @inu-spiration!!

Summary: Sesshomaru is the crowned prince of hell. Kagura is a receptionist. They shouldn’t have anything to do with one another, but Sesshomaru finds something in Kagura, something sublime and forbidden, that he just can’t deny himself.

Read on: AO3

——————————preview——————————

A dark chuckle, the click of lacquered nails on glass, a spritz of perfume.

Kagura leaned forward in her mirror, checking the shimmer on the swell of her breasts, grabbing up her powder puff and adding more.

Vanilla scent clouded the air around the vanity, sweet and rich, joining the heady amber of her body spray.

She smelled like a baked good: delectable, mouthwatering, sinful, perfect.

[ataelier]

would really love to see the wild reasoning behind towa and setsuna being kagura's, a dead demon beyond resuscitation that had an unrequited crush on sesshomaru, or kikyo's, sesshomaru's also dead brother's ex-girlfriend, daughters
