Apologies for any delays with my fics, I've been busy with yet another move and extensive dental work all at the same time and between going back and forth with my prospective apartments and the molar destroyer 9000, I haven't had much time to write but I will update two of the chapters I've already completed shortly. I don't know if I'll have time to do any new art for Mirsan Week coming up but I'll try to submit a WIP of something else I've been working on.

Excerpt Below:

"You sure it's okay with your dad if you can stay for dinner?" Miroku asked.

"Dad's at the station until late so by the time I get home, it'll probably be just me and my brother at home until at least 9pm. But I should give Kohaku a call just to make sure that he's okay by himself until then."

"Excellent!" Miroku responded. "You'll love my mother's cooking. If I'm not mistaken she's making steak tips and vegetables for dinner. The phone is on the wall if you need to call your brother. I'll be back upstairs in a couple of minutes, okay."

Sango sat back down on the floor. "No problem."

After calling Kohaku to make sure he was okay by himself. Sango nervously grabbed her backpack to take out the envelope that held her prom tickets in it. Removing both tickets from the envelope, she rehearsed the best way to ask Miroku to be her date. "Miroku. I was wondering if you'd go to prom with me." she shook her head, no that approach was too blunt. "Miroku, if you're not busy Saturday night at 7pm, would you like to accompany me to prom." She shook her head again. That response was too formal. "Yo, Miroku! I got a prom ticket with your name on it, homie." Sango covered her face with her hands, letting out a frustrated groan. This was getting her nowhere. She then heard Miroku's voice just outside the room. Panicking, she shoved the tickets into her backpack.

"Are you okay, Sango?" Miroku asked; Concerned because he could have sworn he heard her calling his name.

"I'm fine! Let's go eat!" She replied, kicking the backpack out of the way.

Excerpt Below:

"How about it, Sango? Wanna have some fun?" He smirked with a twinkle in his eye.

Sango froze at his question. Was he seriously about to ask her what she thought he was. No way, she wouldn't, she couldn't just have sex with him like that? "Depends on what you mean by fun." She nervously replied.

"I mean, are you up for a tarot reading? I have a special deck I keep at the house that I use for my own personal divination."

"I didn't bring any money." She replied in a sheepish tone, completely embarrassed that her mind went to sex of all things.

"Didn't ask for money. Besides, I would feel bad charging a friend anyways."

Sango shrugged her shoulders. "Sure, I don't mind you giving me a reading. Bring out the cards, Zoltar."

Miroku drew the curtains in his room and hit the dimmer switch on his wall, bringing the overhead light to a moody ambiance. He placed a lit jasmine incense stick in the holder on the floor and also lit a few tealights around the tarot cloth to further set the atmosphere. Reaching under his bed, he picked up a black suede drawstring pouch with a silver Om stitched on it. Inside of the pouch resided a deck of golden-edged tarot cards and a couple of assorted power crystals, which he also placed on the tarot cloth. Miroku shuffled the deck of cards around in his hand.

"Alright, so what do you want to know? Your reading could be about pretty much anything so feel free to take your time."

"I don't know, surprise me I guess."

Miroku rolled his head back, finishing up his shuffling of the cards. "Alright Sango, close your eyes and take three cards from the ones in my hand. Just three. When you are done, you can open your eyes and hand the cards back to me but don't look at them."

Sango nodded. Closing her eyes, she took three of the cards.

"Okay Sango, you can open your eyes now."

When Sango opened her eyes she saw that Miroku had vertically lined all three of the cards face down.

Day 1/Day 2 Yearning and Moonlight.

Couldn't decide on which prompts to use for this piece so I did both. Even though it's not the 2nd yet in my time zone, by the time I post this, it will be for the opposite side of the globe.

I love this ship so I'm happy to be able to contribute this time around!

Excerpt Below:

The family gathered at the table for an impromptu family meeting. Inuyasha sat at the far end of the table, arms crossed as the family, sans Miroku observed him like he was an alien. In that moment he might as well have been a little green ghoul from outer-space with the way they kept poking at his ears as if unconvinced that they weren't a real part of his body.

"Can you all cut it out already!" The teen hollered, annoyed at the poking.

"And you knew about this, Miroku?" Kyo spoke, focusing his attention on his son.

"Well, yeah." Miroku chimed in. "I mean just look at him, the white hair, golden eyes, and what human boy has teeth like this?" he said, forcibly opening Inuyasha's mouth to show off the teen's abnormally sharp canine teeth. Inuyasha smacked Miroku's hand away.

Kyo sat down in his chair, completely confused at what he just saw. "Inuyasha is a youkai. A youkai. youkai are real. We have one, living here."

"Told you I wasn't crazy, pops. And you wanted to pawn me off on Mushin as soon as I brought up the fact that I can see these creatures. I believe vindication is in order?"

"Not now, Miroku." Kyo commanded. "Now what to do with Inuyasha. The neighbors cannot see him like this, nobody can." Kyo looked at Inuyasha. "How do you even exist?!" He yelled, still trying to wrap his head around the real-life youkai living in his house.

"Well, funny story about that." Inuyasha started to speak, leaning back in his chair. "My parents fucked."

"Or do you need me to sugar-coat it for the brat? How about this, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much..."

"Stop, Inuyasha. I think they get it." Miroku said. Cutting off the sarcastic hanyou teenager.

She whirled to him. “Excuse me? Am I not concerned? I believe I am the only one who is concerned about the right thing! That Kagome comes home to us, or does she not matter to you?”

His mouth parted in surprise at her outburst. “Of course I am concerned if Kagome comes back from her own time,” he said in a gentle tone as if not to startle her further. “But the shards are also prudent in our efforts to defeat Naraku.”

Sango willed her hands to stop shaking. “That’s all you care about. The shards. Defeating Naraku.” Curse her emotions. Her face flamed as tears welled in her eyes. Was she always doomed to cry in front of the Monk? 

“Sango,” he raised his hand, as if he were going to put it on her hand to calm her down, but she stuffed them in her lap. His own fell back to his side. “Sango, are you insinuating that I do not care about Kagome?” A pause. “Or you?”

A soft, “Do you?” fell from her lips before she could stop it.

Got called into work earlier but I managed to finish the line art for the inukag week piece I'm working on. Finished version coming soon for the event!

The drama into the twitter rumic fandom since Ranma 1/2 remake announcement is unreal. Just a bunch of Inuyasha fans being, you know, Inuyasha fans? like "Oh when it's our turn?" and people around getting mad at them because apparently Inuyasha is "Takahashi's spoiled child" with its own ending plus a sequel (how dare you even mention it lol). Really can't understand why is this happening, every Inuyasha fan I've seen is more than happy for the recent Ranma news.

By the way, I always hear from a lot of people that Inuyasha is Takahashi's most popular work in the West, but is it really so? I've lived without having it on my radar for uh what almost 27 years, yet Urusei Yatsura for example as much as I've never caught it on TV is an anime I'd heard of, and I've watched at least a couple of episodes of Ranma 1/2 as a kid. As for Inuyasha... my very first contact with it was a review on Instagram accompanied by a picture of Inuyasha and Kagome and I... ahahah... Oh my God I looked at that and thought: "What is doing here Rei from Sailor Moon with this boy looking just like one of those monks who withdraw from the world in meditation?"

WIP progress for Inukag Week. I'm redrawing the broken neck "Sessoyasha" Inukag AI art that's been making the rounds. I liked the pose just not the fact that it's AI and the broken neck.

I'll probably line this later. I'm a little tired to do it tonight.

Testing out a new "paper skin" cover for my tablet. Gotta say I like the control a lot better than just raw dogging the default surface with my stylus.

Fudgie sketch for tax. I was thinking about ships again.
