Part One
Inuyasha refused to look at the email, the one with big, bold capital letters with the title of “Merry Christmas Friend!” from his pervy, lecherous and somehow married closest friend. Oh, hell no. It came through just this morning, before he even had time to finish his first cup of coffee and he promptly shut his browser, deciding he could go without checking his email all day. However, luck was not on his side and by lunch time, he was forced to look.

Weekend Work in Progress
I did this onsen theme for InuKag fluff week in 2022. The picture was well liked, but I was never the most happy with it. Nearly two years of improvement, I'm excited for the redraw to be completed.

Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday Dec. 24, 2022: Tsubaki!
Hello everyone! We are @inu-mothership are back with our last fic rec list of the year. It’s been such fun bringing you ship and character rec lists, and we look forward to doing more of that in 2023!
This week, our members have voted, and we’re pleased to share that our character list this week will focus on Tsubaki! The dark miko: she’s vain, she’s power-hungry, and she’ll do whatever she can to keep both her beauty and her power intact!
Our list (featured below the cut!) is divided into two sections. First, we have a section dedicated to the most popular Tsubaki ship, which is Tsubaki and Kikyo! Then, we have a section dedicated to gen fics/fics where Tsubaki is not part of the primary pairing. We hope you enjoy this list, and we’ll see everyone in the new year! Thanks so much for your support, all! We really do appreciate it.
💜 The Mods
Tsubaki/Kikyo
The Absence of (T; complete) by Aiffe (Ao3) Also InuKik and NarKik
With what will I love you, after my heart is gone?
All I Ever Wanted (T; ongoing) by @gayredheadbitch/MangaBitch (Ao3) Also many other ships; please check ships tagged for more!
Kagome was a powerful priestess whom protected the Shikon jewel, which resulted in the cost of her own life. Centuries later, her soul is reborn as Kikyo Himura. A senior student and medicinal healer living in modern day Tokyo Japan. A new mission and new love born.
Frost (T; complete) by Aiffe (Ao3) Also InuKik
The old tree is leafless in the forest, the old year is ending in the frost, the old wound, if stricken, is the sorest, the old hope is hardest to be lost.
The Spider’s Den of Iniquities (E; ongoing) by RaditzsThighBand (Ao3) Also Kikyo/Onigumo, NarKik, TsuNarKik; please heed the tags
This is where all the discarded sex scenes from my Narkik fanfictions: Kikyo, Captured & The Bandit & The Lady go that didn't make it into the stories because the scenes were either too graphic, or simply unnecessary. This is just me having too much fun with my stories. Please mind the tags and read with caution, and remember that this is all fiction and some of it is non-consentual!
Gen fics/Non Tsubaki-ship stories
Coterie, Ch. 5 (Kikyō & Tsubaki; G; ongoing) by @elkonigin
An examination of relationships within Inuyasha.
The Deadliest Sin (InuKag with implied Tsubaki/Hojo; E; complete) by @fawn-eyed-girl and @hopidoodle
Socialite Kagome Higurashi has been murdered in her New York City apartment, and Detective Inuyasha Taisho has been assigned to be the lead in the case. As he investigates, he meets a strange assortment of friends and family, all of whom have a motive to kill her. But the most surprising thing of all is when he enters Kagome's apartment and sees her portrait hanging on the wall...
Because Inuyasha realizes that Kagome was his soulmate. And now she is dead.
But the more Inuyasha looks into the case, the more things are not what they seem...
Can Inuyasha solve the mystery in time?
Dissonance (Shiori/Souten; M; ongoing) by @witchygirl99
In a world on the brink of an all-out magical war, Shiori finds her salvation in a married couple who care for her far too quickly, and in a young female soldier who keeps climbing through windows to see her. Turns out, fate has something to do with it. Maybe even love, too.
Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza, Ch. 3: Refusing to Repeat the Past (M; complete) by @heynikkiyousofine
A collection of my one-shots for my bingo card.
Murky Magic (SessKag; M; complete) by @sereia1313
In which Sesshoumaru has a spell cast on him, with interesting results.
Onigumo House (InuKik, InuKag, MirSan; E; complete) by @splendentgoddess
“Are you interested in a once in a lifetime experience that's to die for?” Kagome read with some dramatic flair that had Souta laughing. “If you think you have what it takes to survive what goes bump in the night then come for a stay at Onigumo House.”
Paint Me a Picture (InuKag; E; complete) by @kalcia, @neutronstarchild, @ruddcatha
“Madame can see beyond what others can see.” Kagome looked at the golden paint the kindly old woman was offering, the paint that would complete the painting she had poured her soul into: Inuyasha. Her only respite from the life she was trapped in: a betrothal to one she does not love. But when she adds the final touches to her masterpiece, she finds that she must set her life on a new path, for herself, and for the soulmate that has waited for her to return to him for 400 years.
The Selection Process (SessKag; M; complete) by @sereia1313
Every century that Sesshoumaru isn't mated, the most powerful females compete for the position. However, it takes more than fighting to be the Lady of the West. It is a tedious affair, and one Sesshoumaru would rather avoid, but after being gifted with the services of a mysterious miko, he suddenly finds the events much more interesting.
Soul Deep Fear (InuKag; T; complete) by @neutronstarchild
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Tsubaki was going to make sure that the Inu no Taisho’s family would feel her wrath. When her engagement to Tōga was broken by her sister Izayoi’s being the man’s soulmate, Tsubaki curses the entire Inu no Taisho line so that they should never find happiness with their soulmates. And when Inuyasha touches the hand of a barista at his local coffee shop, igniting the soul bond, all he can feel is her fear. Will he be cursed to have his soulmates flee from him for eternity? Or will this one, unlike the last, overcome her fear?
Through the Night (MirSan/InuKag; M; ongoing) by @sapphirestarxx
Sango is a demon slayer in a world that is unaware of the existence of demons and evil spirits. When her best friend and priestess Kagome calls her and tells her she wants Sango to meet her new “boyfriend” she meets not only him but his best friend, Miroku. After a confrontation in an abandoned house, secrets are revealed and they all must work together to defeat a foe they know very little about. One that has been leaving behind strange runes and attacking those with spiritual powers, leaving them in mysterious comas. Along the way feelings start to develop between the two pairs.
Wrath: Kikyō’s Kill List (InuKik, NarKik; M; complete) by @neutronstarchild
Kanna (Brown Recluse), Kagura (Redback), Hakudoshi (Brazilian Wandering Spider), Tsubaki (Brown Widow), and finally, Naraku (Funnel Web). Those were the assassins who took everything from me—my family, his family, my fiancé and our daughter. But they made one cardinal mistake: they left me alive. So one by one, I will send them all to hell. I was never ‘Black Widow,’ I was always ‘Kikyō.’ They will all learn that lesson soon enough and they will all suffer my wrath.
This story is an adaptation of Kill Bill, with Kikyō as "the Bride." So be prepared for some fun and violent darkness.

SINS WEEK REQUEST!!!!!
Friendship: Miroku and Kagome
HELLO HELLO HELLO FEENY! Both you and @shikonstar requested a Miroku and Kagome friendship ficlet, so I hope you guys like this Modern AU for ENVY/RED
--
Kagome loved house parties. She loved the chill atmosphere, she loved the variety of people, she loved the cliche selfies with red solo cups stacked up in the background. She loved being able to socialize and wear sweatpants at the same time. And best of all, she loved that house parties were always at Miroku’s place, and not hers, so she didn’t have to deal with the clean-up.
That was, of course, until Miroku got a new housemate.
But now that her best friend and her boyfriend were roomies, Kagome found herself spending more time there than at her own apartment, and with unofficial tenantship came host duties. As she walked around the firepit picking up empties and pouring out not-so-empties she jumped a little at the sudden weight of something soft and warm dropping down onto her head.
“I can see you shivering from there,” came Inuyasha’s soft grumble. Kagome smiled into the floppy sleeves as she started to roll the red too-large hoodie up to her elbows. She’d just finished adjusting the cord to protect her ears from the bite in the midnight breeze when her vision was suddenly filled with two glaring purple eyes.
“Why are you blushing more red than that jacket?” asked Miroku, his breath reeking of lime and tequila. “Between him giving it to you- and you stealing it - it's probably yours legally at this point. And yet here you are giggling to yourself like a schoolgirl.”
“I was cold?”
“And that’s all it takes?”
“Takes to what?”
“To win a girl over.”
Kagome frowned, but Miroku continued at an impressive clip considering his BAL, “Inuyasha is the grumpiest old bulldog I’ve ever met and yet the two of you are so loveydovey and you basically live here now and I try and I try and I try to show her how beautiful she is and how smart I think she is and talk to her all the time and and and… all she seems to remember is the one time I touched her butt and it was an accident anyway I thought it was you and she did not like that answer and that grumpy asshole who won’t even hold your hand in public gets giggles for a sweater?”
Kagome blinked up at him, slowly working her way through his ramblings. It all finally clicked when she realized that, just out of earshot, sitting in one of the lawn chairs next to the back door, was one leftover party guest.
Sango; dressed to the nines and likely freezing her nearly exposed butt off.
Miroku had spent weeks trying to woo her and felt like nothing had worked. And yet to everyone’s surprise she’d shown up to the party with legs for days and eyes only for Miroku…if only he had been sober enough to see it.
Kagome took pity on her friend who had finished a whole bottle before Sango even got there that night. She adjusted the hoodie and tried to speak as slowly and clearly as she could without raising her voice.
“Well it… it shows he cares. That he’s paying attention to the little things. It wouldn’t hurt to show Sango that you care ya know? She can’t see your affections while she’s sitting there shivering can she?”
It took a moment for the gears in Miroku’s head to start, but finally a smile of comprehension spread across his face. “You think that would work?”
“Best way to warm someone’s heart is to warm their hands first!”
With a confident nod Miroku adjusted his own jacket and walked past Kagome with a confidence she hadn’t seen in weeks.
Kagome’d just started picking up bottles again when a loud CRACK of a slap echoed through the yard. Kagome turned so quickly she nearly fell over and saw Miroku standing where Sango had been sitting, jacket still in place, but sweatpants off and hanging from his extended hands.
“THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!” she shouted as she sprinted back to the house to find a very embarrassed Sango.

@inukag-week Day 6: Teasing
NGL this was my favorite to write so a huge thank you to @monimuasblog for the concept :)
--
Living with a two year old some days felt less like parenting and more like being a professional translator for a language he didn’t speak. But Inuyasha would usually work it out - not as quickly as Kagome but he was getting better. The hard part was he never knew what things would stick and what words seemed to disappear from Toru’s vocabulary as soon as they appeared. While sometimes this was good (personally he thought an exasperated toddler mumbling fuck it was hilarious, but if it had happened more than the once Kagome probably would have kicked his ass) sometimes it was incredibly frustrating (when did three different movies all become known as mouse!?).
One lexiconic constant, though, was Yaya. Ever since Inuyasha became enough of a staple in Toru’s life to be graced with a name, he had always been Yaya. When he first moved in and again when the topic of adoption came up, Kagome had asked him if he wanted to push for Toru to switch from Yaya to Dada but Inuyasha had absolutely no interest in making the change. Anyone can be a dada, but there was only one Yaya.
Of course, it wasn’t until after he’d become emotionally invested in the nickname that he learned it means Grandma in Spanish.
But he didn’t care. He could suck-up the teasing from the new waiter who called him Mrs. Doubtfire and the confused side eye from Rosa at daycare when he was added to the authorized pick-up list.
He was Toru’s Yaya and he - and the name - weren’t going anywhere.

We are officially looking at re-homing two 10(ish) year old cats due to my infant son's allergy. The cats are not bonded, so they can go to different homes. They are clean, healthy, good with other cats and kids. No exposure to dogs, though.
Currently in Raleigh, but willing to drive for either drop off or a meet-up. These are much beloved family pets, and we wouldn't do this if we didn't have to.
Photos and info below the cut.

lol this is Fandom 🤣🤣🤣 18 and 54 for the Trope Mash-Up 🥰🥰🥰
Secret Relationship and Circus AU.
InuYasha watched from the rafters as Kagome rode atop his elder brother’s back, shooting arrows through blazing targets. Any moment now the ring leader’s girl friend would take her place and they’d both steal the show long enough for the others to escape to the back of the tent and get ready for their next act.
But something went wrong. There were a dozen sudden explosions, and the tent caught fire in moments. Chaos gripped the staff and the audience, sending the one pleasant night into a spiral. Sango slipped from the rafters with ease, disappearing and then reappearing at Miroku’s side. They grabbed Rin and Shippo and headed for the exit. Kagura grabbed Kohaku and followed Kikyo, but he couldn’t watch over everyone. Not when the smoke was clouding his eyesight.
Kagome, however, he could see perfectly--smoke be damned. He saw her fall off of the canine’s back and he saw her go still. The only way down to her was back the way he came, but the fire was already spreading. He knew for sure that there wasn’t a way out anymore, not from that angle. The canine that once held her returned to his humanoid form before slinging her over his shoulder and leaping up through the hole of the collapsing tent without bothering to look back.
InuYasha got himself to safety easily enough and forced his way to the front of the crowd, opening his mouth to demand answers, but Sango’s voice made him stop short. “Who are you to her?” He was still a new addition to their family of freaks and Sango was taking a while to warm up to him. He wanted to elbow her out of the way, to proudly proclaim that he was her boyfriend. Her lover. Her darling dear. But Kagome’s plea that he keep things between them echoed between his ears.
Grudgingly upholding their pact, he took a step back, letting Sango kneel beside her to assess her condition. The words, ‘just a friend’ tasted like bile on his tongue, so instead he settled on something that felt more accurate. “I’m no one to her.”

A World Without You
Twice in a row was more difficult than I thought it could be, but it’s finished and I’m content until tomorrow. :] @inukag-week
**
When Kagome woke up wrapped in InuYasha’s arms, she immediately knew something had gone wrong. Sunlight broke through the woven mat separating them from the world beyond their threshold and decorated silver bangs in golden stripes. Which never happened. InuYasha couldn’t sit still, he never could, and time had done nothing to tame the white hot energy burning at his core like a supernova. If he wasn’t leaping he was pacing and if he wasn’t pacing he was chasing the twins or dragging a cart or fighting with Sango. For InuYasha to be in motion was to be alive.

A World Without You
I didn’t go for violence in the role reversal, so I added some here. :] @inukag-week ** Kagome extends her arms to InuYasha and he drinks her in eagerly, happy to learn the origin of every scrape and puckered portion of scar. It began with his hands running along her shoulders. He caught sight of an injury she’d caught a few days back when trying to play demon slayer with the girls. A tussle had ended with her back being sliced open by a particularly sharp rock. Initially she hadn’t thought to tell him. It had only bled for a moment before it was nothing but a stinging memory.
“What’s this?” He sounded so concerned when he asked and somehow she is now stuck explaining every scar she’s sustained on her top half.
“You almost have as many as me.” He takes off his top layers and begins pointing and listing. ‘This one is from when Sesshomaru got all pissy that he couldn’t find tessaiga’ and ‘this one is when Sesshomaru was bored’. The longer he speaks, amusement making his words less gruff and more childlike, the rage she feels boiling below the surface grows hotter and harder to contain. When she cuts him off, she’s had enough.
“How many of these are from Sesshomaru?”

Kimi gazed down into her wine, wishing she could creep back up to her room and crawl beneath the blankets that— come nightfall— she’d be sharing with two bodies instead of the usual one. The band was energetic and the guests were crowing with delight as Touga pulled his new bride into his arms for their first dance.
She had no right to be so upset. Touga asked her a thousand times how she felt about marrying Izayoi. He gave her every opportunity to back out, to keep him to herself. But how could she? They looked so fucking content it was nauseating.
Next she’d be expected to dance with her, to twirl her around the dance floor as if this union were not the direct result of Touga loving a prostitute more than he loved the Lady of the Lands. He could deny it all he wanted, but Kimi knew —without a shadow of a doubt— that a happy man didn’t find himself with two wives.
“Mama.”
Sesshomaru’s little voice could scarcely be heard over the roar of the band, and Kimi turned to face him— hoping to drown out the clumsy footfalls of their brilliant new bride.
Her son was perched on the edge of a table, his red nose the only indication that he’d previously been crying. She liked to imagine that he thought that he’d hidden it well, but a boy whose markings were still muted and incomplete could only be so clever.
“Why are we not enough?”
The question hit her in the gut, knocking the breath from her chest, and for a moment all she could manage was his name.
“Lady Yue says father is having another child with that woman. She— she says that they’re wed because he loves them.”
“Yes, but—.”
“But why did he need another family? Were we not enough?” His lips trembled as another tear slid down his rounded cheek, unbidden by pride or shame. “Did we do something wrong?”
Kimi would never admit that it was tears stinging her eyes as she saw her own insecurities staring back at her. It was one thing for her to feel inadequate, but her son would not.
“Absolutely not.” She sat her wine down and struggled to compose herself. “Izayoi is beautiful and so…” she choked on her words for a moment, cursing herself for being too weak to lie. How could one be too weak to lie? “Kind. She nor her child are replacing anyone.”
“Then why do you look so sad?”
There was no good answer for that, so she swept him off of the table and crashed her partners’ dance. It was that or tell the truth, and the truth was not an option. Before long Sesshomaru was content again, too focused on getting the steps right to worry about being replaced. And when the time came to switch partners, he took Izayoi’s hand readily, placing it in Kimi’s.
“This one will dance with Father so mama and mama can have their dance.”
“Mama and mama.” Izayoi hummed. “What a thought.”
Despite her brave words, Kimi turned her face to the sky, preferring to gaze into the stone ceiling than spend a moment looking at the woman who ruined her life. “It will take some getting used to.” She grunted.
“Naturally. But,” Izayoi tightened her grip on Kimi’s waist only giving her a moment to orient herself before she dipped the demoness. “We have the rest of our lives to get used to one another.” Her petty grunt made it hard to stay angry. If it were that much trouble, one would think that she wouldn’t bother. “If you want, I mean.”
The music never stopped, but they did. Their graceful spin had come to a close and now they were just standing there. Staring at one another, and Kimi supposed that she was rather pretty when she was bathed in the purple-pink rays of dusk.
“It is of no interest to me either way.” She brought up her fan to hide her face, suddenly accurately aware of the other woman’s hands resting upon her hips. The flush that crawled along her neck was, at very least, well hidden.
“Papa, I think Mama has had too much wine again. She’d all red. Should I take her up to her chambers?”
Or so she’d thought.
“I don’t think it’s the wine, pup.”
✨✨
Take your blood money @inuparentsday (maybe next year I won’t wait for the last minute ����😂)

A World Without You
The first prompt is written and up! I don’t write about them often, but they make me EMOTIONAL. JEEEEEEZ. Rated G for General Audience. @inukag-week
**
Despite the laundry list of chores awaiting her when she woke up that morning, Kagome opened her eyes with the fleeting taste of a fried pork cutlet on her tongue. Her mother once packed her lunch box with it on days where she found that Kagome was at her lowest. For the first six weeks after realizing she’d never see InuYasha again, it was all she could stand to eat. Everything else felt tainted in one way or another, and there were too many times that she found herself sobbing in the pantry clutching a packet of ramen so tightly the styrofoam would explode between her shaking hands. Fried cutlet, while her favorite, was the one thing she’d never shared with him and so it became the one thing she ate. Every night her mother would cook two meals, fish or steak or chicken for the family, and fried pork cutlet for Kagome.

I haven’t written anything in over a year and haven’t written for this ship since I was 14, but being back in this fandom has brought me so much joy these past couple of months I just couldn’t not write something. So thank you to this fandom for getting my creative spark back! @inukag-week
InuKag week day 1 - Domestic
Kagome closed her eyes and let the soft night breeze wash over her for a moment. Everything was so quiet and serene. She could hear cicadas buzzing, smell flowers and water, see stars so bright they lit up their path as clear as the sun.
The other era was nothing like this. It was full of noise, strong smells, artificial lights, people chattering, cars running, billboards, buildings, restaurants, trash, a school bell... She had grown up in that other era, in a future where youkais and magic were a thing of the past, where science explained that the rain was caused by the cycle of water and the sun rose by the turning of the Earth, where ghosts belonged in films, and jewels that granted wishes belonged to the stories her grandfather told. She had been born in that era, grown up there, spent 18 years of her life there, and yet...
And yet it was that other life that seemed like a made up story, like a strange dream she had had once, the details blurry and hazy, its weird sounds and scents awaking in her a detached sense of curiosity and wonder, the memory of a dream she had long awaken from.
Was there such a thing as a world where the sky didn’t crackle with fox fire? Where she didn’t spy the form of a giant cat flying in the air and knew her best friend had returned safely home? Where she didn’t go out for walks in the forest every night together with a man with hair as silver as the moon and eyes as golden as ambar, that could as easily bend reality to his will with his sword as he could hold her hand and guide her through a well-known path?
Nonsense. Impossible. This was all there was, all that could ever be. Her reality and her place. Magic was real, a world where she was not with him could never be.
“You are very quiet tonight, Kagome.” His low voice broke through the quiet and made her open her eyes to look at him. Silver hair, golden eyes, fangs, claws. Her husband was part demon, how could he not be? A world where Inuyasha couldn’t exist just couldn’t be real. “Are you alright? Do you feel anything?”
She put her hand over her belly and shook her head with a smile. “No, Moroha is being very good tonight. I was just thinking about...” She stopped for a moment, thinking of the best way to describe it, and finally settled it. “Home.”
He averted his eyes, his ears twitched. A minute change, but Kagome knew him well. He felt guilty, sad, but why? He asked, slowly. “Do you still miss the other era much?”
The question got her by surprise. Her? Miss that dream? That impossible world that could never be? How could he... Her eyes widened, then softened. She stopped them on their tracks and looked up at him, holding tight to one of his hands, and grabbing the other to put it over her belly, over their child.
“No, Inuyasha. I was thinking about home.”
She had never been so certain of something in her life. He widened his eyes now, but she knew he understood her like she understood him. He smiled, pushed her hair away from her face, kissed her; and together they turned, putting an end to the walk of that night, and walked back the way they had come, back home.

Christopher: Don’t let people tell you your attraction to fire is “abnormal” or “hazardous”. Prometheus doesn’t have his liver eaten every day for you to ignore the allure of arson.
Matthew: You need at least two incidents of arson to diagnose pyromania, so everyone gets one free sample. Use it wisely.
Thomas: …
Thomas: I am very concerned for you two.

My ideal Vanitas no Carte dynamic is

My #1 post of 2022
Ok but I love how in the last episode, Yor yelled at the guy to get his hands off her daughter. Her daughter.
Even inside of their fake story, she is Loid's second wife and she generally only calls Anya "miss Anya" accordingly, but when Anya was in trouble and she was acting on pure instinct and not thinking about it at all, she said "get your hands off my daughter".

"Kagome has taught me so much. To smile, to trust. She's the only reason I'm not alone anymore! She taught me to rely on my friends. To shed tears for another. What true strength and kindness is. All of that I learned from Kagome.
Kagome was born so I could meet her. And I was born for her."
Anniversary (of Firsts) for @inukag-week 💓 Screencap, OG redraw and blurb below the cut 👇
I am rather weak for a progress pic, must admit. When the Anniversary prompt dropped for @inukag-week this year, I thought it would be fun to redraw the "Firsts" prompt from last year. Same goal this time round: few layers, more focus on simplicity. And it kinda worked...kinda. There aren't a lot of layers here, but the difference in quality is pretty significant. The technical difference is muscle memory and skill in achieving that goal + time spent. And that's wonderful to see with my own eyes - cause that's the thing about progress. You never see it while you're in it.

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza Week Four
Sweet Confessions
“Why are you being like this?!”
Frustrated didn’t even begin to describe how Kagome felt right now. She was angry, hurt, her limbs ached after the last two days of traveling back to Kaede’s, her head throbbed, but most of all she was tired, tired of it all. She just wanted to go home, soak in a bath and take a long nap. They had been traveling south, past Jinenji’s village and while this particular journey started out great, it’s ending the opposite.

“Role reversal” was honestly the prompt I was looking foward to the most! For this I switched the time periods they both live in. Inu Yasha is still a demon but lives in the present, while Kagome is a Miko from the past. The drawing is supposed to show their first meeting, as Inu Yasha climbs out of the well.
I tried to do the lineart with a brush for this one and honestly it was such a hassle. Not doing that again. It doesn’t even look that great :(

For @inukag-week 2022: Role Reversal
The first time was accidental. One morning, InuYasha cupped Kagome’s cheek in his palm—drawing her face up to his for a good morning kiss—when his thumb grazed along the shell of her ear. A full-body shiver shook its way down her frame, and her lips met his with more force than usual, an unexpected and palpable eagerness in her movements.
The second time was also accidental. He and Miroku had been away from the village for a couple of nights, on loan to a neighboring village to help with a minor demon infestation. When they returned home on the third day, Kagome caught sight of InuYasha walking along the path to their hut. A sunny smile broke across her face, and she’d immediately started running to him, flinging herself into his arms with a delighted squeal. InuYasha had held her tightly, burying his nose in her hair and exhaling a gusty sigh against her ear. Again came her full-body shiver, and she’d burrowed deeper into his arms, hiding her face against his chest. After that, he felt pretty confident that he’d stumbled upon something good.
The third time was completely intentional. They were lying together on their pallet, awake and trading leisurely caresses, when he deliberately reached over and traced the shell of her ear with his claw.
“InuYasha,” she said in a tone that was half complaint and half breathy encouragement. It only prompted him to gently rub her earlobe between his thumb and forefinger, before trailing the pad of his finger along the inner curve of her ear.
That full-body shiver—the one InuYasha was beginning to love—traveled down her spine, and she squirmed closer to his body.
InuYasha grinned. “Your ears are kind of sensitive, huh?”
She opened her mouth, but whatever reply she intended was derailed when InuYasha propped himself up on his elbow, leaned over her, and let his warm breath wash over her ear.
She gasped, and blushed—he swore even her earlobe flushed red—and turned her face into his neck. He couldn’t help his widening grin as he ghosted his lips over her ear and whispered, “Your ears are cute.”

Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday: November 12, 2022: Jinenji!
Hello everyone! We at @inu-mothership are especially pleased to bring you this week's Spotlight Saturday fic rec list. This week our members voted, and chose Jinenji!
Jinenji has a special place in many of our hearts as the kind-hearted herbalist who Inuyasha and Kagome befriend early on in the series. He's often portrayed as their friend, but Jinenji gets his share of romantic stories, too!
As always with our character rec lists, we've organized it into two groups, both listed below the cut. First is the section dedicated to Jinenji-specific ship stories (if there's another ship featured prominently, we've included that, too). Then, we present the section dedicated to Gen fics/fics where Jinenji is featured prominently, but not as part of a major ship. We had fun with this one, and hope you find some new stories to enjoy!

Enter one Higurashi Kagome, his new neighbour. As soon as he met her, his whole concept of his place in the world went topsy turvey. And he wasn't quite sure what to do about it. Because surely a hanyou like him couldn't possibly be deserving of a true mate? But apparently her heart and his soul had their own ideas.
Night Watch (T; ongoing) by @superpixie42

One Good Punch
Inuyasha's ears flicked in surprise at the sudden 'thwip' of Kagome's arrow as it shot past him, landing with a solid 'thunk' in the damp soil at the yamabushi's feet, barely missing his toes.
"In case you were wondering", she hissed, "I missed on purpose. Let. Him. Go!"
The monk's eyebrows raised in surprise, glancing between the dog hanyou he'd been about to attack and the unconscious fox demon kit dangling from his fist by the tail, the paper ofuda plastered across his tiny face fluttering in the evening breeze.
"Why would I do that?" he sneered, speaking to Kagome as if she were a small child. "Fox youkai are tricksters, always up to no good. Just like that half demon abomination who was about to attack me."
"How dare you!"
Inuyasha had moments to get out of the way before Kagome stormed passed him, dropping her bow and literally crackling with rage as static pink reiki swirled around her tightly clenched fists.
She stepped in front of the monk and swung, not gracefully, but effectively, hitting the startled monk directly in the nose, causing him to drop the kit. Inuyasha swooped in under Kagome's arm to catch Shippou, cradling him gently to his chest, and then stepped back, slightly bemused at the turn of events where Kagome was the instigator of violence and he was on the sidelines.
"Shippou is a child!" she screamed, voice cracking with emotion. "He was looking for mushrooms for dinner! And Inuyasha is no more an abomination than I am! You know nothing about them. Nothing at all!"
The monk's eyes were wide, one hand clamped over his obviously broken nose, but when he began to speak, Kagome brandished her fist threateningly in his face again.
"I don't wanna hear it. Not one word. And if you try and follow us, I'll let Inuyasha stick his Tessaiga where the sun don't shine, you got me?"
Inuyasha chuckled, then shrugged when Kagome turned her gaze onto him.
"What?" he said with a grin. "You know I'd do it."
Turning her back on the monk with a huff, she moved to Inuyasha, carefully peeling the ofuda off Shippou's face, growling angrily at the red blistered mark on his forehead. She ripped the ofuda in half, scrunching it up in her fist, before hurling it back towards the yamabushi with a venomous glare.
"Is he gonna be okay?" she whispered to Inuyasha, smoothing the red fluffy fringe off Shippou's brows.
"Yeah, I think so. He'll probably have a headache when he comes to, but nothing major. He'll be fine." He gestured towards the Yamabushi with his elbow. "You want me to beat this guy up?"
"No, let's just go back to camp. The others will probably be back by now, and I want to make sure Shippou's okay."
"That was a pretty good punch by the way. You just needed to keep your wrist a little straighter. Your hand okay?"
"My fingers hurt a little."
"I'll have a look at 'em after we make sure Shippou's all good. But yeah, I was impressed."
The monk watched cautiously as the girl and the hanyou carrying the fox demon disappeared from sight in amongst the trees, deep in conversation and ignoring him entirely. Perhaps that was a good thing. He whimpered as he straightened his nose with an audible crack. A sudden thought occurred to him.
I wonder what she meant by his Tessaiga?
And then realised, as he beat a hasty retreat in the opposite direction, he really didn't want to know.
