not sure if it was you fixing it or not, but your theme seems to be working now!

Lol!!! Nope, I didn't do anything to it! I've been a busy little beaver today doing many other things! But thanks again for letting me know!!

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

Hey, just thought you'd like to know that your desktop/custom theme is broken and can't really be read.

Thanks for letting me know! Unsure how to fix that with the current theme I'm rocking because I'm not a coder, but I'll figure something out.

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"Well..."

"I guess, if we're being really honest here... it's because it's my fault the jewel is broken," Kagome answered in a soft tone of voice, a sad smile on her lips and a gentle hesitance in her gaze. She took a deep breath and then shook her head.

"Don't get me wrong, I do also just want to look for the jewel on my own." And she did! It wasn't as though she wanted to leave her friends after everything she had been through. Go back to an ordinary life that was... dull.

Still, though. she had a responsibility to the people here after what had happened.

"When I first came to the Feudal Era myself, I didn't know I could return to my own time. I learned about the Jewel and, well. Kaede- apparently, I'm the reincarnation of her older sister, Kikyo, who died fifty years ago in a fight for the jewel. So, they gave it to me for protection, since it kinda popped right outta my side in the middle of a fight one day." That was an understatement. She still had the scar from where Mistress Centipede had torn her side apart trying to get the Sacred Jewel out of her.

"ANYWAYS-! After we learned about all of that, this evil crow demon thing came after it and since I kinda sucked at shooting arrows back then, after my friend Inuyasha cut a part of the demon's body off, I tied it to my arrow and shot the thing right at it, since the demon's body was attracted to itself in order to regenerate. And, well... it was a little too accurate." She flinched back slightly at the memory, one of her eyes closing as if she were pained by what she was remembering.

"The arrow struck too close to home and shattered the jewel into all of the shards that it's in now... so I-... it's my fault. And I'm one of the only people who can put the jewel back together right or purify any shards that get tainted by demons." She sighed a little after finishing her story for Yusuke, bringing a hand to her chest somewhat.

A guilty conscience and a sense of atonement for her actions were part of what drove her.

He sat with his feet crossed and listened to their story..or at least where this jewel came from and why demons seemed all too eager to want their mitts all over it. Ha, hearing that it pretty much amplifies their powers makes sense..thinking about it now..it did feel as though Yusuke had heard a voice speaking to him when he touched the shard..its as if his power was beckoning..however luckily enough he’s learned to control that side of himself..a lot better than the few years ago.

━━   ❝   𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐡.   ❞  Then he turned to face Kagome. “And you? Sarah Connor. You come and go whenever you want to so you could find the pieces of these shards?” His eyes looked over the quantity they’ve already collected..it’s starting to come together actually which is good for them. “What I don’t get Kagome..is why ARE YOU helpin’ ‘em? It’s not like it’s your problem t’ deal with.” Unless he’s missing something, but he was simply curious at this point as there wasn’t a single drop of venom in his tone of voice.

In fact he respects people for aiding others just from good merits alone. Though he senses there’s a story behind her decision. “Three years ago..I probably would have been asked t’ join you.”

urasue: i have brought kikyo back to life 

kagome: you fucked up a perfectly good corpse is what you did. look at it. it’s got anxiety

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

Going of the very little amount we have about Miroku's father and grandfather my poor brain decided to cook up Miroku's dad raised him with as much love and care he could give him because he himself was raised as a weapon, as an instrument of vengeance. From what Buddhism stuff I've read and the influence of Confucianism brain decided Mirkou's dad maybe forgave/understood his own father's faults and felt honor bound not just out of filial piety but as a duty of someone with spiritual power that the quest to end Naraku must be continued.

Or other option compartmentalised the fuck outta himself along with Naraku's gotta be slain somehow.

Either way he was not prepared to confront how small new humans are, nor how helpless they are, or feel loss and some anger about how he was raised so he resolves to give little Miroku as much love as he can. Raise him to fight and survive of course but be encourage him with care and not despair disguised as wrath. Near the end maybe he worried that a gentler raising was selfish on his part and was even a little afraid that having his son love him will make his death hurt more than his own father's death hurt him.

I'm running out of articulateness but like if he was raised weapon-y Miroku's dad might not have had good social skills etc. But Miroku himself has enough social skills and social intelligence to make friends, allies, and con the fuck outta people.

The part that made this hot dog roll around in my brain at enough speed to need freeing is the concept of being raised with kindness instead of an an instrument of vengeance helped defeat the being of abject cruelty that was Naraku okay. Power of love in multiple forms.

OutofArrows;

.....

...

Soft announcement under the cut.

I need a Sesshomaru for my Kagome.

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

She was a bit unamused by the way he emphasized her name... but she didn't particularly have anything to actually say about it. So she simply sighed once more.

When he talked about how he was friends with the king of Spirit World, Kagome stared at him lightly, eyes widening a little bit from the new bit of information he had shared. However, he then asked why demons would want the jewel in the first place and Kagome looked down at the new shard that was being added to her growing collection of them. She let out a soft sigh.

"A long time ago, there was a Priestess named Midoriko who was battling an army of demons. The commander showed up and for seven long days and seven long nights, she battled the demon until she was running low on strength. At the end of her rope, she somehow managed to draw the demon's soul into her own and then forced both of their souls out of her living body. It created this jewel, a mix of both of their powers. Even one shard of this jewel... it increases a demon's power severalfold." Kagome explained softly, staring at the new shard before then pulling up the half of the jewel that had been reconstituted a while earlier.

"If a demon were to get their hands on the completed jewel, they could make a wish... to increase their powers even more than just one shard. It could make a half-demon into a full demon." Kagome finally looked up at Yusuke again, shaking her head.

"My friends and I have been trying so hard to make sure this jewel doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

That ‘now’ she said really put things in perspective. How many diseases has her grandfather told people she’s contracted?? And if that was the case..how are her friends not suer happy they even manage to see her in school? With all of those crippling illnesses, it couldn’t be easy for her to navigate through life. It made him so happy that school was in the past for him now and he could safely rely on his business.

━━   ❝   𝐇'𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐊𝐚-𝐠𝐨-𝐦𝐞.   ❞  A grin appeared on his face. “Needed t’ try that name out..to see if I can spell it so I wouldn’t make a mistake when carving your tombstone. Cause if your gramps is diagnosing you as much as I think he is…then it isn’t long until you’re ya know..LEGALLY DEAD.” A light chuckle left his lips, dark joke but man her grandfather is definitely a hoot, if he’s given the opportunity to return to the present he just might pick that old man up for a few drinks in town.

Now, their walk toward the hutt was not a long one and once they’ve entered they were greeted by an older woman. Quite familiar with Kagome and not TOO SURPRISED with Yusuke’s sudden appearance..nor his apparel. “Hey there grams, big friend of Kagome huh. The name’s Urameshi Yusuke…guess since we’re here and I’m assuming you’re cool with Hime over here.” He nudges towards Kagome playfully before taking off his jacket so he could leave it on his shoulder.

“I’m kinda friends with the king of Spirit World..I guess at school you’d know him as King Enma if you’d pay attention in Mythology.” Which..he really doesn’t..at least not soo much. “He’s the one that told me of this ‘sacred jewel’ and how it has an effect on greedy yokai. The guy told me of its last guardian Kikyo a shrine priestess I..think who died and now her reincarnation is the…one in charge of it no- Oh that’d be you huh..”

He dug into his pockets and pulled out a single one of the shards from his pocket. “T’ make a long story short I followed a yokai with this back t’ your house and your gramps gave me the gist of some stuff.” Then he hands the shard over to Kagome. “I thought the new keeper of this ALL-POWERFUL piece of jewelry was going t’ be some old woman or somethin’. Soo any idea why demons would even want that thing? Cause if it’s a pearl they want they can jus’ fish for clams or somethin’.”

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"Great. I have tuberculosis now. Thanks, grandpa." Kagome lamented softly, turning her head to the side with a deep sigh. After a moment, though, she looked back over at Yusuke and returned to his question of if she had a place for them to have a private talk so that he could tell her about how he knew about her and who had told him the truth about what was going on.

"Come on. There's a place we can talk just over there." She pointed out Kaede's hut and started walking in that direction with another soft little sigh. Stepping inside, she noticed Kaede stoking the fire and bid her a hello, smiling and gesturing to her new 'friend'.

"He just suddenly showed up. So we're going to have a new guest for a little while, I suppose." Kagome told the elderly woman, who nodded sagely after looking over the new arrival that was Yusuke.

"Yes... I see... 'twould seem the boy comes from the same era as you have, eh Kagome?" The woman asked, smiling obligingly as Kagome put a hand over her mouth and nodded softly.

"Yeah... he said that a demon was trying to take a Jewel Shard from him, but then ran away and booked it down the Bone-Eater's Well. It worries me a little bit since demons don't usually just run away when they're trying to steal a shard."

Around the same age? Well yeah he might be a year or two older than her soo referring to her as a ‘child’ would be a stretch..least if Yusuke still refers to himself as human. Now it’s about explaining how in the world he’s got his information in the first place,generally speaking, this kind of information was kept from mortal ears however, considering the things goes through it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

━━   ❝   𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.   ❞  Whether it was an inn or a tavern either was fine with him, as long as they were indoors, at the very least the people who knows her wouldn’t give them any grief, but Yusuke knew all too well that fame is a two-way street. With people adoring you, there’s also going to be people who want to see your downfall and those were the listeners he’d rather avoid if he could, no one truly knows who just might be listening in.

“Ya got anywhere we can have some privacy? Crucial information and all.” To think if he wasn’t already FIRED from being a spirit detective then today would had been that day. Yusuke had a number of things he’s already privy to when it comes to her and yet she knows jack- about him, which wasn’t completely fair to him so he figured he’d level the playing field a little.

It's funny how hearing this reminded him that her grandfather did in fact give him an excuse like that. That's when Yusuke began looking up at her. "You're lookin' pretty good for someone who has tuberculosis."

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"Ugh! Don't call me a kid! You look like you're the same age as I am! It's rude to call someone a kid when you're not even older than they are!" Kagome chastised, though it was mostly because she didn't like being treated like a child. Especially with how much shit she had gone through over the years.

"I will thank you to call me Kagome! Ka-Go-Me!" She emphasized her name one more time to make sure that he had it down before then huffing and moving on to the fact that he had addressed her telling him that they both stood out in the clothes they wore.

"Even if we don't blend in, it doesn't matter. People know me around these parts, so as long as you're with me, you won't get any questions. Except from me, because I would like to know who told you about me. My Oji-san usually tells people who come looking for me around the temple that I'm sick and can't come out to talk when I'm here in the Feudal Era. Since he knows it's not widespread knowledge that there's a weird time vortex in the Bone-Eater's Well."

Well, at least they’ve gotten to names..granted it’s not like he’d be using her name on a regular basis, UNLESS SHE HAD GOTTEN INTO TROUBLE. But now she’s giving him health advice and he simply scoffs. It’s not like he had reached for his lighter, it was simply just the stick to at the very least quell the habit. ❝   𝐓𝐜𝐡.   ❞ He scoffs slightly before a bright grin appears on his face. “If you knew half the shit I get into on a daily basis then smokin’s the least of my problems.” Sides’ he wouldn’t exactly light it until he was all alone, no point in ruining the kid’s lungs.

“So you’re the Higurashi kid huh.” He then looked at her up and down. “When he said you were a young girl I wasn’t expectin’ a teenager. But at least it does make sense.” To think a young child wielding the power that Koenma had told him about..that right there would seem incredibly frightening. Then he took a gander at the people within the village that looked at them like they didn’t belong..and they really do fit the bill when it came down to the time traveling Kagome mentioned. 

Their clothes were incredibly out of style, while theirs…probably weren’t even invented yet..least not this far East. “H’alright I smell what you stepped in. Makin’ a guess that you know where we could go t’ get a new pair of clothes so we’d blend in.”

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"...." Kagome sighed softly at the other when he began to speak.

"My name is Kagome!!" She began in a rather aggravated tone of voice. She didn't even like it when Inuyasha referred to her so disrespectfully, and he had slowly become her friend over the years, so why in all of the Hells would she tolerate some stranger - even if he was from her own time - calling her by such a disrespectful nickname? However, he then began to remove a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and Kagome glowered at him somewhat.

"That's probably the worst thing you can do for your health." She said, rather unimpressed by the way he had come across so far, despite that he was confirming her knowledge of most of what had happened. Although, the fact that a yōkai had attempted to steal the shard from him, only to run away from him, causing the man to chase after it down the well-... that was definitely a red flag to top all red flags.

"Well, if you came down a well at someone's house, then you most likely ended up at my house. Higurashi Shrine. That's the only place that I know of where the Bone-Eater's Well exists. I'm Kagome Higurashi. And of course I stick out like a sore thumb. So do you. But do you wanna start going around wearing the outfits they have on in this time period...?" She turned to face him fully, putting a hand on her hip and gesturing somewhat over his shoulder at the men and women surrounding them and what they were wearing.

She had a feeling he would be on the same page as she was.

━━   ❝   𝐇𝐮𝐡..   ❞   Was the only word that he could have muttered, whilst all of this was fairly new to him..or at least the whole concept of falling through time from a well..it still wasn’t SHOCKING NEWS. It wasn’t something that would eat away at his sanity because he’s gotten soo used to strange things happening around or to him. “Ya know Skirt, four years ago all of this would’ve made me certifiable.”

As it should, he then removes a box of cigarettes from his pocket. “That’s right.., there was a yokai that wanted the power of the shard..dunno why but I chased it down a well at someone’s house..jumped in and well here I am..gotta say, I picked you out from everyone else soo easy. You stick out like a sore thumb.” Granted HE’S ONE TO SAY considering just like her he wore modern clothing as well.

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"Wait a minute..yer tellin' me that this piece of crappy jewelry.." Said Yusuke as he held a shard Koenma had given him. "Is the reason I was able t' get to 'the past'? I've seen and heard a lot of weird shit in my day..but this??" he 's fired from being a spirit detective and HARDLY a year later Koenma returns into his life with stuff like this. "Though..not that ya mention it..I do feel somethin' from this damn thing..kinda like a voice in my head tellin' me t' gather more and get stronger. Well if ya need it that badly then you can have it Skirt." He extends a hand to give her the shard he had received.

"You... didn't know...? Well, I guess that kinda tracks. People from our time don't really have too much experience with this kind of stuff. I guess you do have more experience than most, though. You've got a lot of energy radiating off of you. I'm glad you didn't listen to the shard. One of our enemies is trying to find it." She explained all of this with a relatively straight face after having a minor sense of shock at him not knowing about the shard and why it had brought him to the past. "Still, it's pretty remarkable that you were able to come through the well. You did... come through the well, right?"

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

"I use the sit command instead of talking out my problems" (not hate, just poking fun at her rofl)

"E-ehhhhhh??!" Baby-blues went wide with shock and surprise as she was called out on her behavior.

"Th-that's not true-!!" Even though we all know blatantly well that she is a teenage girl who has problems talking through her emotions instead of just taking them out on people- people who sometimes didn't deserve it(although we all know that sometimes Inuyasha totally deserves it pls).

"I just-.... I just-..." And there it is. She puffed out her cheeks in a huffy pout, crossing her arms over her chest and looking away in a surly manner.

"I DO NOT!!!" And that's all she wrote, folks. You're not getting any more out of her on this topic.

Canopus: Have you ever broken a bone? 

"I actually... haven't. Ironically enough over all of my travels, I never actually broke a bone." She looked off to the side for a moment before returning her gaze ahead.

"I did come pretty close to breaking a bone, though. I sprained my ankle pretty bad one day. And I had a really hard time keeping it wrapped until I could find a place to rest."

[reincarnatedpriestessofthefuture]

Sirius: Have you ever failed a class? 

"...." The young priestess gave a deep groan. Then she looked up, eyes narrowing with the equivalent of irritation.

"Yeah. I failed a lot of them. It wasn't necessarily the most fun time in my life. I was... doing a lot of... traveling." She was outright avoiding saying exactly what kind of traveling and where to.

"And, well, because of a certain bad influence, my grades really started to badly slip. I failed a lot of exams and a lot of classes. But one class that I was proud of myself for never slipping in was my English classes!!"
