UPDATE

First off, I want to apologize for my very long absence to all my followers, as well as the people who have enjoyed "Take the Long Way Home". Y'all have left me such lovely comments and I'm truly honored by each one. Unfortunately, I felt so guilty for not posting in *three* years that I never expressed my gratitude.

Second, I'm sorry to say that "Take the Long Way Home" is on indefinite hiatus, which I'm sure isn't a surprise given my lack of updates. I started the series when I was rewatching Inuyasha, and I had lots of inspiration. Even though I have the broad strokes of TtLWH mapped out, I simply don't have the motivation to write it. I'm not giving up on it entirely, but I'm waiting to feel the drive again because I don't want to half-ass it just for the sake of finishing it.

Lastly, because of my guilt about not updating TtLWH, I simply posted nothing even tho I've been writing here and there, but I've decided that I'll start posting stories again. However, I'll only post stories I've completed so that way I don't repeat the mistake of leaving people wondering when the next part will drop.

My new content will be from different fandoms, and I hope at least some of you will enjoy it! But I understand that most of my followers are because of my Inuyasha drabbles and TtLWH so I know a good chunk will be disappointed and I'm sorry 🙇‍♀️

Again, I'm so sorry for how long I've been MIA, but please know that every like, reblog, and comment has meant the world to me ♥️

Take the long way home!!!! Did my eyes 👀 see that a part 2 was coming out soon? I LOVED THE FIRST PART! And I can’t wait to see how this office place whatever it will be (hopefully romance?!?) turns out 😀😃😄

Have a lovely week ahead!

Hi thank you this made me very 🥹

I will be honest I’ve been feeling super shitty about things the last couple weeks, especially writing. which is also why pt 2 is not up yet.

I have been neglecting sweet marcus & this story a lot. Update this week if my mood improves..

I don’t know if you’re the same anon as before but every time a message like this pops up about ttlwh it makes my day 💞

And I hope you have a wonderful week yourself!!

Take the Long Way Home, Part Six

Author’s note: Sorry for the super long wait and thank you for your support and patience! I hope you enjoy c:

—————————————————

The sun rose from its slumber, and so too did Sesshomaru’s rag-tag team of strays. Sesshomaru and Jaken were fully alert and ready to depart, but the humans were less eager. Jaken wasted no time chastising (Y/N) and Rin, condemning them as lazy and slothful for their comparatively slow rousing. (Y/N) stood up, annoyed by the small creature’s abrasive nagging, but ignored him as she stretched her tired body; Rin eagerly mimicked the movements. The two girls had slept well on Sesshomaru’s luxurious boa, and (Y/N) carefully gathered it up, brushing off any debris, and brought it over to his Lordship.

“Thank you again, it’s so soft! I think that’s the best sleep I’ve had since I came to your world.”

Sesshomaru showed no expression as he took back the fur. “I’m glad it was of use.”

(Y/N) smiled at him and then turned to go back to Rin and Ah-Un. Sesshomaru watched her, noticing her movement seemed more fluid and relaxed. The small comfort of the boa really did appear to have made a difference. As he wrapped it back around his shoulder, he found himself tensing. The movement of placing it had rustled up the scent of (Y/N) that clung to the fur, causing an aromatic cloud of sweet rain and florals to hang heavily in the air around him. The demon’s breath quickened ever so slightly, his mind adrift in a thick fog, and his slender fingers flexed and curled in a steady rhythm.

“My Lord! My Lord! Can you hear me!”

Jaken’s shrill voice pierced through the veil, and Sesshomaru looked to his servant with a severe gaze. Jaken shrunk away, taking on a meek tone as he pressed on, “Apologies, my Lord! You appeared as though you had been vexed; an impossible thing, to be sure! There is nobody who could possibly take such hold of you! I admit it was a foolish thing for me to have even considered but-”

“Let us go,” Sesshomaru interrupted.

********************

It wasn’t difficult to see that something was amiss about Sesshomaru. He had seemed fine at daybreak, but soon after, his demeanor had become tense. As the group had set off, following his lead, you had noticed him turning his face into the fluff of his boa, only to quickly jerk his head back away from it. You worried that perhaps you hadn’t cleaned it off as well as you ought to have. It had looked pristine, by your estimation, but you supposed a powerful demon would be able to perceive things your silly human senses couldn’t. Throughout the day, Sesshomaru periodically nuzzled into the fur adorning his shoulder, and each time, after a second or two, he would abruptly turn back away from it, as though it electrocuted him. Laying on the fluffy mass had been a treat, but you suspected you wouldn’t be allowed to do it again.

*********************

Night fell once again. (Y/N) and Rin had taken to riding atop Ah-Un as their feet had become sore, and Jaken loudly mocked their weak human constitutions.

“You won’t find Lord Sesshomaru or myself needing such frivolous accommodations! You humans are all the same, soft and weak! Why, before the two of you, Lord Sesshomaru and I could cover three times the ground we do now! You’re lucky Lord Sesshomaru is so merciful as to allow you to ride atop Ah-Un or your enfeebled bodies would be left behind. On top of that-”

“We will rest here tonight.”

“Oh, of course my Lord! What a fine location you have chosen!” Jaken continued to yammer as Sesshomaru walked past him and over to Ah-Un as (Y/N) helped Rin dismount from the great dragon-like beast. In this small window, Sesshomaru caught himself turning his face into his boa, noticing that the scent from the morning was largely gone from the fur.

As soon as (Y/N) set Rin on the ground, the little girl skipped over to Sesshomaru. “I can’t believe we get to camp two nights in a row!” she beamed.

(Y/N) joined Rin and meekly offered her gratitude. “Yes, thank you. It’s very kind of you.”

Sesshomaru showed no emotion, but removed his boa and proffered it to (Y/N).

**************************

You took it hesitantly, unsure why he was giving it to you again considering he had seemed put-off by it all day. Maybe he was telling you to wash it? Before you could get clarification, Jaken exploded with indignation.

“You would just stare at his Lordship when he is so benevolent as to give you his exquisite stole? The ungrateful nature of you humans!”

Sesshomaru stopped the angry gremlin’s tirade by speaking calmly to you, “It seemed that you were more well-rested after sleeping atop it. Use it again, if you like.”

“Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru,” Rin gleefully exclaimed.

“Yes! Yes, thank you, m’lord! This is very kind of you!”

He gave you a small nod and then turned away, walking to a nearby tree to sleep against. Rin helped you arrange the fur beside Ah-Un and the two of you laid down, the young girl cuddling up closely to you. You gave her a hug and she giggled with glee. This life was certainly more difficult than the one you had left behind, but it wasn’t so bad.

The two of you stared up at the night sky; the moon was full and bright. “Did I ever tell you that the people in my time have been to the moon?”

Rin bolted upright and regarded you with mock suspicion. You laughed at her incredulousness and assured her you were telling the truth. The girl had many questions.

***********************

Sesshomaru listened to (Y/N)’s fantastical story that humans had climbed inside a large metal vessel and gone to the heavens to walk on the moon. That there had been a race between two nations to see who could get there first, that only very special humans had gone to the sky like this and they were called “astronauts”, and that (Y/N) was very passionate about the unfair demotion of a celestial body called “Pluto”.

He could hear the pride in her voice as she told Rin all of this; how proud (Y/N) was of the humans in her time and what they had accomplished. He wondered if she resented this time she had stumbled upon. Even the highest-ranking humans of this time were pathetic when compared to the heaven-roaming individuals she spoke about, and, as much as it wounded his pride to admit, even he could not visit the stars. If she couldn’t get back to her own time, was there any way she could possibly be happy in this one?

He silently cursed himself. (Y/N)’s happiness was none of his concern. It wasn’t his responsibility to keep her spirits raised. He put the thought from his mind, focusing instead on the sound of the leaves rustling on the tree. It was none of his concern. None of his concern.

*nervously makes a post like I haven’t been MIA for months*

hey y’all 😬

This is essentially a post to let people know I’ve added them to the taglist for Take the Long Way Home. I thought I’d have part six up by now, but I realized the segue between the last chapter and what I currently have is just garbage and doesn’t make a lot of sense, so I’m working to make it much more organic. I’m gonna put out that I’ll have the next chapter by Friday (January 15, 2021), if Friday 11:59 PM comes and I haven’t posted y’all have permission to harass me (I’m in the US tho so keep that in mind!) I’m sorry it’s taken so long ㅠㅠ

Tag list (if you want added or if your handle has changed and needs updated just let me know!!):
