Little bird no more chapter 8

Kagome jerked when he allowed his aura to gently brush hers, her eyes wide with shock then relaxing when she realized it was him. The heightened senses were so new to her she wasn't sure how to process them. Normally Sesshomaru could sneak up on her easily. But now he was several paces away, his eyes oddly soft and careful as he approached her quietly, waiting only until he was a few steps away to speak to her.

"If you do not wish to be disturbed-" he trailed off, though he would not let the emotions show, he did not want to be sent away by her. They had kept an appropriate distance on their return to the village. Allowing Inuyasha to carry her instilled unease in himself, though he felt it only right, as she had been harmed because of his own mistake. When she awoke and excused herself for a walk to think things over, he even hesitated to approach her then.

"N-no it's fine. Stay, I'd actually like to talk to you." Kagome scooted over on the fallen log, patting the place next to her to offer him a seat. Between the confusion and embarrassment, it seemed bewilderment seeped up and took over, leaving her face clear of a blush and her eyes still dazed.

Sesshomaru silently took her offer and seated himself next to her.

"Thank you for saving me, even after I blasted you."

"I miscalculated in my approach to you." Kagome blinked at his admission. "I overstepped and assumed. You humans are very different from us in many ways and I had not anticipated that. Because of that you were captured and harmed. The fault is mine."

Her throat went a little dry, tilting her head in acknowledgment slightly and bouncing her eyebrows in surprise.

"I never thought you would apologize."

"You are my mate to be, nothing comes before you."

She winced at the name and scowled "You just decided this whole mate thing and figured you'd woo me with a kiss?"

"It was not a decision. It is fate."

"Fate." She scoffed. "I'm so tired of people deciding my fate! I'm tired of fate being a thing!" Her hands slapped the wood, shoulders tense. This was how she got into this mess, fate, destiny, magic and connections. Purple sparks danced across her skin up her arms, new vibrant power surging with her rage.

"Then call it natural." Sesshomaru said quietly, eyeing her power with a bit of curiosity. His suggestion seemed to distract her enough for the power to die down and fizzle back out.

"What?" She looked at him again, sighing.

"It is a natural occurrence. The part of me that thrives off my basic instinct, knew that you are my mate. It sensed long ago that you were my mate to be, but only when you threw yourself in front of Rin did it make its intention clear. Seeing you injured despite my attempts. Seeing you protect my ward, it set off the natural instinct. But it sensed long ago our souls were drawn to each other, I simply did not have the words to explain such a pull until now."

"So that was the whole soul thing? Bokuseno told you we are connected too?" Kagome wanted to ask about this 'other part' business, but if it was anything like what Inuyasha became without tessaiga she wasn't sure she wanted to know the truth. Did Sesshomaru have a rabid wild creature within him that had no recognition of friend or foe?

"Indeed, though I had assumed the reaction was a simple choice, the strength and urgency took me by surprise. I sought Bokuseno's counsel in courting a human and he revealed what I did not understand."

Kagome pursed her lips, eyes casting downward once more, feeling oddly deflated.

"So it's not a choice,but it's not love."

"We do not need love."

"Right, you said that." Kagome huffed, tucking her arms under her knees.

"Love or no, you are my only mate. I would have no other."

That little tidbit had her pausing. The declaration of her being his one and only setting her heart pounding in her chest. Not that she was suddenly forgetting about Inuyasha! But….it felt… genuine? Compared to the constant comparison of Kikyo, both by Inuyasha and her own mind, it felt good to hear something so… certain. It wasn't like Kouga either… his claim was superficial at best. He cared, yes, but it seemed to be just a show. Like both men wanted to simply own her, and though calling her "His mate" initially sounded possessive, it felt…. Assuring. Not that it would convince her so easily.

"If it weren't for fate you wouldn't even want me." She huffed simply.

"You are my mate. I would have or want no other."

She felt her heart hammer in her chest. How long had she waited to hear words like that?

He rose from his seat next to her and knelt to one knee in front of her, arm resting upon his upper knee as he pinned her with his fierce gaze.

"I have come to understand more what is needed. With that understanding, I, Sesshomaru, ask you Kagome, to accept my offer of courtship." The genuine warm glow in his eyes felt like it reached in and right to her heart, wrapping around it with strong warmth making her chest feel heavy.

"You really mean that don't you?" Kagome whispered, unable to pull her gaze away fro several moments before shaking her head.

" I have… I have to think about it. I love Inuyasha." The words bordered on trying to convince them both. She did still love him, didn't she? Ever since their last fight with Naraku, she was sure she still loved him, but wasn't sure if it was still the same way.

A warm hand reached over and grabbed one of hers in her lap, and she was forced to look back into the warm golden eyes. So contrasted compared to when she first met him. "I don't mind you sticking around, and getting to know you better. But I don't want you to get your hopes up.

"I will await your response. I have dedicated myself to this cause to rid Naraku, but even so when he perishes I shall remain nearby." Sesshomaru swore, gently touching his forehead to the back of her fingers. Kagome swallowed nervously and nodded, a soft blush crossing her cheeks.

"Hey wait.." She studied him carefully. "You have your other arm! What the heck!?" Kagome grabbed the hand that held hers, her hands fluttering across his wrist and turning it over as she inspected it.

"Indeed. It returned when I slayed Magatsuhi, or his attachment to you. This evening has been unexpected to say simply. I have also formed a sword that tells me its name is Bakusaiga. I have yet to test its capabilities." Sesshomaru touched the new handle at his waist with his free hand, his eyes slightly glimmering in excitement.

"And you didn't think to say anything? That's great!" Kagome genuinely smiled at him, gripping his hand tightly while she beamed.

Sesshomaru let out a small grunt. "There was far more focus on your well being. You left quite quickly when you awoke."

Kagome's smile faltered a bit. "Yeah… I was a bit… Overwhelmed."

Sesshomaru "Your power has increased." He sounded like he already knew, but she nodded all the same.

"I- yeah… It's strange, I can sense further… I can even sense the general direction of the jewel shards, and where they're at. It's like… I can even sense the trees around us. It kind of felt like a pressure all around me when I woke up with Inuyasha being so upset. I've always been able to kinda tell how he feels. But I felt it this time." Kagome bit her lip, studying him "How did you know?"

"Your scent changed." Sesshomaru said simply, continuing only because she gave him a look of confusion. "Before your scent was soft like morning dew and some unknown orchid to me. Now it is similar, but not. The scent of a morning storm, of lightning before the strike."

Kagome blinked and shook her head, astounded at such a description. "Good… to know? I guess?" She sighed, "Just something else to figure out."

Another enigma approached as they sat in silence, contemplating new developments. Sesshomaru had stepped away from being crouched in front of her, simply to remain close while they both enjoyed the silence of the waves in the distance.

That was when Ryu approached them.

"Ryu, how are you feeling?" Kagome asked as the boy approached, patting the wood where Sesshomaru once rested, a pleased smile on her face when the boy joined her.

"I should find a new name." He said quietly, though he tried to hide it, his face seemed disappointed.

"Why's that? Ryu is a good name." Kagome asked, gently placing a hand on his shoulder, Sesshomaru stood quietly nearby, scanning the surroundings seemingly disinterested.

"Ryu is the name given by my father. An evil demon. Not the father I was led to believe." Kagome was sensitive enough to feel a slight fluctuation in Sesshomaru, indicating he was not as disregarding on the topic as he wanted to appear. She glanced at him, catching his eye for a second and sending him a small smile before returning her gaze to the boy, tapping his shoulder so he would look at her with his bright eyes.

"I don't think a name defines you, It is your actions that give others the impression when they hear your name. Like sesshomaru. When I hear his name I don't think of a killing juggernaut, I hear…"

Sesshomaru stared at her, his face impassive, but she had the feeling he was waiting with baited breath to hear her description.

"I hear a friend. My mentor. Safety." The soft pulse from his aura she received was no doubt unintentional, but sweet all the same. He was pleased with her assessment.

Ryu looked away and seemed to consider her words for a moment before nodding, accepting her words.

"A Demon may choose his name with maturity as well, young one." Sesshomaru added, drawing his attention. "It is known that many dragons earn their full name with maturity or accomplishments. As often they are named Ryu, or another that may be easily extended later. Or they are changed in entirety." Ryu nodded once more, seeming appeased with this answer even more than Kagome's. She smiled as he seemed to be more content than before.

"I have another question." The boy said, his eyes analyzing them carefully.

"What is it?" Kagome asked sweetly, more than pleased the boy seemed to be comfortable with them, especially since she had already decided he would be staying with them.

"Are you two intended?"

"What?" Kagome jumped, eyes wide.

"The way you behave with one another. The clear comfort you have with each other. I ask only because the half breed seemed incredibly riled at your absence together."

Kagome swallowed, looking at Sesshomaru with concern before looking back at Ryu, deciding not to lie to such a perceptive child.

"Ryu… please don't tell the others-"

"Is a betrothal not something to celebrate anymore?"

"It is! Just… We haven't completely agreed to it… Sesshomaru here actually just agreed for us to better get to know each other before we uhm…"

"I see." Ryu fixed Sesshomaru with a blank stare "You have chosen a strange one."

"Of that I am aware child." Sesshomaru agreed, turning away to avoid Kagome seeing the slight curve of the corner of his lip. Kagome however seemed to either catch it, or sense his amusement. And she leaped to her feet, clapping her hands together.

"Hey! Alright well we should all get to bed. You especially have had a long day." Kagome smiled at Ryu, ushering him back towards the village.

"I have rested for centuries… Lady Kagome." Ryu said, but followed along with her ushering anyways.

Little bird no more chap 7!

(I’ll add the word count ect when I’m not on my phone I’m so sorry)

"We've killed lots of demons but I think I would remember killing another dragon! The only ones we have killed were both male!" Kagome sassed at the young boy, eyes alight with challenge. She wasn't exactly the biggest fan of death. Though she had come to terms that it went hand and hand with this era, didn't mean she liked it. So every life they had taken as a group she thoroughly remembered.

But dragon daiyoukai were especially easy to remember. Ryukotsusei, Inuyasha's father's enemy, and Ryura from the island of half demons. No female Dragon. And she told young Ryu of this.

"I have no reason to believe you. My sister told me of her fate when she released me."

"And was this fate told to her by Naraku?" Kagome jumped on the opportunity, seeing the hesitation build in his eyes as soon as the words left her mouth.

"How did you-"

"Because I told you, it wasn't us. Naraku is evil and he'll use whoever will listen to him. To make things worse he can change his shape, make you think he's someone or something else. He's the worst!" Kagome snapped, and glared at the boy who only slightly recoiled, his face contorting into dismay. Kagome felt her anger evaporate as pitty swelled in her chest. What was it with these kids and pulling her heart strings.

"You're just a kid…" Kagome said quietly, her face softening as she met his bright green eyes. The worst she could do is ignore a grieving child. Her brother, Shippo, Shiori, the half demons… The confusion in the young demon's face made her want to pull him into a hug. "I understand wanting to avenge your mother. No matter your age, losing a parent is terrible. I lost my own father a while ago…" Ryu glanced up at her, his face mildly red from his emotions swelling beyond his control.

"How?" Ryu asked quietly in turn, shifting closer to her.

"An accident. It was before my little brother was born. You look a little older than him."

Ryu shifted more, seeming to uneasily contemplate something. Glancing at the archway his sister had disappeared through, he leaned into her stone resting place, his eyes downcast.

"My sister has been acting strange ever since she released me. Wild, angry, she has always been so composed before mother sealed us away. I wish to know what could have happened to mother to make her this way. Tell me about this Naraku."

Kagome nodded, and dove into her tale of all she knew of Naraku. All though shortened, as she was pressed for time not knowing when Chiyako would return.

"That's how he manipulates people he thinks will be of use to them. Your sister has one in her forehead."

Ryu's eyes narrowed as she explained the jewel shard to him. Though he had sensed something off about his sister, what she claimed seemed to explain it thoroughly. "This artifact.."

"Dear brother what on earth are you doing?" The icy voice cut across them just as fresh tendrils snapped up, wrapping around Kagome and slamming her back down onto the stone slab. Her head cracked and she cried out in pain, stars blooming across her vision.

Distantly she heard Ryu offering explanations and arguments, but the words themselves wouldn't stay long enough for her to process them. It felt like only a second later, she felt the familiar sensation of her chest burning and exploding. The turning of her stomach and the stillness of her body reminding her of the horror of the last time her soul was sucked from her body.

'Please not again! Inuyasha!'

~~~

"Oof!" Inuyasha grunted as he was tossed into the sand, pushing himself up and sputtering sand from his mouth. Sesshomaru touched down after him, his boots sinking into the damp sand as he gracefully collected himself.

"You didn't need to drop me you bastard." Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru offered no response and passed him, eyes firm and set upon the Shiro just ahead. Old and worn down, the walls were crumbling and decaying. Vines and weeds crawling up the stone and wood that looked as though it would break with the smallest touch.

Silently Sesshomaru continued to stride towards the shiro, his keen nose picking up traces of Naraku's miasma, but no fresh tale of his scent.

"Naraku was here." Sesshomaru growled, taking off in a flash to storm the rotten palace. The rest of the group exchanged quick glances with each other before following just as quickly, Inuyasha bringing up the rear.

"That's quite surprising." Miroku commented, cringing at the 'decor'. "Considering the damage he was dealt so recently."

Sango nodded, urging Kirara to follow sesshomaru faster.

"Feh. Just means he's getting desperate. Which means he's gonna get sloppy and he'll be easier to kill." Inuyasha called from behind them.

"A cornered animal is more dangerous Inuyasha, we should be careful." Sango retorted, Miroku nodding.

The stench of death filled the halls, as if the walls were filled with corpses and blood. Sesshomaru scowled at the stench, but continued leading the way along the rotting walkways. Within the stone and wood structure, dirt and mold clung to every crevasse, the halls and doors twisted and turned. Had he not caught Naraku's scent, they would be lost quickly. Kagome's was too faint to have a proper trail.

"What do you think Naraku is doing in an old place like this?" Sango asked out loud, to anyone who would answer.

"A good question Sango." Miroku said from behind her, taking in the rotten structure as they flew past. "Naraku likes to keep his lair fairly nice, if not covered in his own disgusting body." Miroku scrunched up his face as he spoke. Sango nodded with him.

"Whatever decorating habits Naraku has picked up, be ready!" Inuyasha bounded past them, gaining on Sesshomaru as they barreled down a main hall, each one shouldering a door as they smashed them down. Each grinding to a halt as they took in the sight of the main hall in front of them.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed from her place on her pedestal, drawing the attention of their entire party. A purple barrier had formed around her, bubbling just a few inches around her as a swarm of black ink seemed to float above her. Just beyond her, a regal daiyoukai with her hands hovering over the barrier. Her red eyes snapped open as they approached.

"First this blasted barrier, now company? You're becoming a lot of trouble." She growled, slowly stepping around the altar, her hand hovering just over the barrier blocking her from her desires. "Two mutts, a slayer and a priest…" She glanced over her shoulder, following a gauge of destroyed stone floor to a crater in one of the stone walls.

A crater that cradled the small body of Ryu. Slumped and still against the stone.

"It's a shame I came across this girl trying to corrupt my little brother. I could use his help." She said blandly, returning her gaze to her intruders.

"Stop your jabbering and let Kagome go! What the hell do you think you're doing with her anyways?" Inuyasha unsheathed tessaiga, barring it at the woman.

"Taking what is mine dog." She narrowed her eyes, crossing her arm across her chest and throwing it back out at them, a wave of lightning bursting from her fingertips towards them.

Everyone scattered from the attack, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha taking the first opportunity to charge.

"Sango!" Miroku called, gesturing to the crumpled boy in the corner. Sango nodded and dashed towards him, the sounds of battle echoing in the chamber.

"Hey can you hear me?" Sango gently shook his shoulder, rousing him awake. Bright green eyes hazily glanced around the chamber before falling on Sango.

"A Slayer and a Monk? Are you Kagome's friends?" He asked drowsily, head swaying with the attempt to fully wake up.

"We're gonna get you and Kagome out of here just-"

A loud explosion rippled through the cavern and the ceiling caved, shattering pebbled and dust all around. Sango and Miroku casted glances back at the fight. Only to their horror, to immediately notice Kagome's purple barrier had swelled to several feet.

"This is bad." Miroku breathed. Sango whipped her head back to him, wondering what it is he saw. The monk's face was pale, his purple eyes wide with shock. For within the barrier, floating around like murk and ooze, were two giant red eyes that blinked and followed each move of the three fighters. Whatever was contained with Kagome, wanted out.

Kagome knew it too.

Within the shield the voice cackled and mocked, chanting words of disgust and anger to Kagome, promising the demise of her friends and all she held dear the moment her barrier would fall.

"Naraku seeks my aid and has even provided the boy's body for me. He is small but will grow far beyond my expectations with my spirit within him." The voice taunted, kagome wincing as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, pain and strain in her chest becoming overwhelming.

"Miroku what do you see?"

"Nothing good." He whispered.

"He sees magatsuhi's true power, sealed within Kagome awaiting to be released." Ryu said, watching with a mix of awe and horror.

Meanwhile, Kagome jerked her head to the side to see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru fighting, another sharp pain causing her to gasp. The small noise caught Sesshomaru's attention, and he met her eyes with a quick glance.

"Sesshomaru kill it!" Kagome begged, feeling cracks begin to form in her barrier and a mirrored sensation in her chest.

Inuyasha barked out a sharp retaliation while batting away Chiyako. "Feh! Go help Kagome I got this wench!"

Sesshomaru paused, glancing back at the dragon demon then back at Kagome, contemplation and frustration radiating in his face. Kagome grinded her teeth and managed to shoot him a glare.

She trusted Sesshomaru, despite his shortcomings, despite her confusion with his sudden interest in her, despite their past disputes. The way he looked at her, the way he encouraged her and guided her, how hard he fought for her freedom now, knowing there was nothing for him to gain here besides her safety, she trusted him.

Feeling the secure and grounded sensation of her confidence in Sesshomaru, she took as deep of a breath as she could manage.

"Do it sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled, feeling the bubble of containment begin to splinter, much longer and Magatsuhi's essence and power would be free.

Sesshomaru blinked at Kagome's command as he watched the swirl of purple miasma within her barrier. Yes he wanted to be rid of Magatsuhi quickly, but a strike from his tokijin may very well kill his soulmate in the process.

A throb at his hip drew his attention. Tenseiga pulsing rapidly as it called to him, speaking in pulses of aura expressing it's desires.

Sesshomaru glanced back at kagome, watching her writhe and squirm on the altar, sweat dripping from her brow. Tenseiga could not harm the living, but it could destroy those already in the grave. If he struck, would he harm her soul? Knowing it was formed of the past priestesses and slayers that Midoriko had blessed with part of her soul?

Gritting his teeth, Sesshomaru sheathed tokiji and ripped Tenseiga out to replace it, a growl forming in the back of his throat. Bokusenōs words echoed in his head, a small memory that suddenly seemed too big and important to forget 'The blade has infinite more power than you give it credit for.'

'Do not fail me, Tenseiga.'

He bounded forward, leaping high into the air above the barrier, raising his sword as the cracks and splinters of her barrier began to shatter, miasma creeping through like oil on glass. With a grunt he swung down as the barrier broke, white light expanding from his Tenseiga as it sliced in between Magatsuhi's transparent eyes. A cry of anguish erupted from the vanquished spirit, and sesshomaru landed on the altar as the miasma dissipated around him.

Looking down at Kagome as he stood over her, he slightly knelt to check her breathing. "Kagome?"

The Preistess' eyes shot open and immediately a blast of air and light exploded from her chest, throwing sesshomaru from her.

"Kagome?!" Inuyasha yelled, confused as to what sesshomaru had done and what would happen next.

"No! How dare you!" Chiyako snarled, arm blocking her face from the bright light. Inuyasha however saw his opportunity, quickly and silently dashing towards Chiyako with his sword ready.

Chiyako flinched and swung once to try to hit Inuyasha before he reached her, but he was faster. With a bound he leaped over her arm and flipped mid air, bringing his sword down on her with a battle cry.

Inuyasha's blade scored across her forehead, a small hit, but enough. His eyes widened as his strike drew not only a spray of blood, but a dark jewel shard as well. He snagged it out of the air before he landed firmly on the ground once more.

Chiyako snarled, stumbling forward after Inuyasha. But her body convulsed, and with a soft cough her mouth gushed blood. Her arm wrapped around her abdomen as her robes began to show bright red stains. Another cough, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Chiyako no!" Ryu cried, collapsing beside his sister and pushing back her silver hair from her face. "Sister! Sister?" He pleaded, lightly tapping her cheek as her eyes focused and unfocused.

"Dear brother…" She wheezed, her shaking hand reaching to grip his wrist lightly. "That beast… Naraku… He did this, to me… to mother…" She coughed again, the river not slowing. "He wants… you… your power… when you grow…" Another wet cough, and Ryu gripped her hand in his tiny ones, tears filling his eyes. "My dear brother…" She sighed, letting one gentle cough ripple through her as her body went slack. Her eyes glossed over, the life within her fading from her irises.

"He used his usual tricks." Sango snarled, dropping her hirakosu as she came closer to Ryu, meeting Chiyako's blank gaze over his shoulder. "The same thing he did to me, murdered my family, restored my brother with a shard, and used him against me." Sango quivered, her eyes filling with rage and sorrow. Ryu slowly looked at her over his shoulder, silent little tears falling down his puffy cheeks.

"You… Kagome told me about you and your brother... He really did that?" His little chest rapidly rose and fell, more tears building in his eyes.

"Oh…" Sango gasped, her rage dying a little at the sight of his devastated face. "Oh… oh…" Sango gently reached forward and pulled the boy demon into her arms, tucking his head under her chin. "Yes he did… But we're going to take him down. I promise you we are gonna take him down."

"We must leave this place. The stink is horrendous." Miroku murmured, carefully watching Sesshomaru stare at Kagome, his face unreadable as Inuyasha approached her and picked her up, the priestess out cold.

Stepping into the room seeking a strong drink, Raelia paused when she saw Kaidan, casually leaning against the window with a smirk on his face. “You know entering the Beth consensus is gonna be the best part of your autobiography.”

Raelia pursed her lips for a second then arched a brow, clearly not amused. “I’m glad Liara is the one writing it then and not you.”

Kaidan paused, tilting his head. “What? Why?”

Raelia walked over to the bar, nodding at Garrus who stood behind it selecting his own poison. “I guess you’re gonna gloss over meeting vigil, saving the citadel, defeating different reapers, destroying former protheans the collectors, uniting races with centuries old rivalries-“

Kaidan sighed, letting out a chuckle “alright I get it-“

Raelia flashed Garrus a smile when he slid her a drink “I threw a thresher maw at a reaper.”

“Alright I get it I’m sorry-“

“I fucked a Turian.”

Kaidan rubbed his face “please stop.”

Raelia turned, leaning with her back against the bar and pointed at kaidan with her drink in hand. “I adopted and raised a krogan.”

Garrus mimicked her, pointing at kaidan “and did a fine hell of a job of it too!”

She nodded and pointed at Garrus “AND did a hell of a job of it too!” She smiled and clinked her drink with his and took a swig.

Kaidan groaned. “oh god”

Desmond peaked around the glass m, leaning out of his poker chair to make sure he was heard, raelia hadnt seen him making a card house in the corner. “don’t forget the rachni, facing off an ardakt yakshi-“

“Oh yeah that too.” She muttered.

“coming back from the dead...” liara added as well as she sauntered in.

“Does that count?”

“You wouldn’t be back from the dead if you weren’t you, so it counts.” Garrus hummed out as he offered liara a drink.

“It counts.” Liara agreed

“It counts!” Desmond shouted as well.

“I give up.” Kaidan grumbled, shuffling out of the room.

Send me things for my muses and ships!!! 💜

a forest filled with elves and fairies

a museum, ancient and beautiful and horrifying haunting

a cozy, old coffee shop owned by a lovely elderly couple

a deserted road at 2am in the morning, with a broken down car

a starry night out on a vessel, eyes out on the horizon

a distant planet in space, surrounded by darkness and eyes leering the tiny dot in the distance that you once called your home

a busy street in Tokyo, with flickering lights and a feeling of belonging

an apartment in Chicago, with pouring rain and thunder striking

a cemetery, legend has it vampires used to roam around here

a dingy, run-down motel with a sketchy owner

a secret passage-away in a castle, striding through the corridors with only a candle as light source

an empty field, a starry night sky, gleaming moonlight shining down upon you

a beautiful flower garden with growing vegetables, flying butterflies and scorching sunlight

a tree house that was built when you were kids, but is still the place you and your best friend goes to when you need some time to think

a deep, dark forest, right behind the edge of the cemetery, overgrown tree branches that covers the pathway. rampant, like a giant spiderweb

a huge mountain, with the shore just below it, waves crashing against the oceanside

WH themed prompt

(Check out @wonderland-hearts for more about where I get my inspiration! WH universe Kyo Sohma is not mine!)

“I hope you remember.”

The warm sun on his face as he gave his genuine reply, the breathtaking heat of his red eyes, the sweet brush of his shoulder against hers. All of it took her breath away in that one single moment, and something clicked in her head that had her in a numb daze until they returned from the shrine.

Hinata splashed cold water on her face, what little it did, to try and bring herself to focus enough to start her chores. However her brain would not cooperate, wouldn’t let her think of the list of things she needed to do, things she had left alone for a week and a half now. All she could focus on was the elated feeling she had in her chest when she looked at him in that moment.

Then the following indescribable feeling that came down like a heavy rain all around her. What right did she have? She didn’t even know where she came from. Kyo had a life before wonderland, and someone as interesting as him probably had someone special to boot.

Plus, didn’t she have someone special? She couldn’t remember his name, or the details of his face. He could probably walk right passed her on the sidewalk and she wouldn’t recognize him, but she knew there was someone she once felt a connection to. It often came back to haunt her, it would crush her chest and slam into her brain, begging to be recognized and acknowledged.

What right did she have to crave the company of someone when she may have someone waiting for her? Even if she didnt know his name... And Kyo’s would constantly hover in her mind, be on the tip of her tongue when she felt excited and be one of the few words she didn’t trip over?

Her phone vibrated, causing her to jump, noticing she had been drying her face for several minutes now. The pale green notification showed what she had already guessed, Kyo had texted her again.

He didn’t text often, but given she hadn’t responded since they came back from the shrine, he had sent her several trying to check in on her. Most of which she had ignored, which hurt her even more, but even the few she responded with were short and cut, using her two jobs and working out as excuses.

Truthfully she was scared. She didn’t want to run away, or to hide, but it was for his sake rather than her dedication. More than not having her feelings returned, she was afraid of causing him grief, either by making things complicated for him or her own emotions before her memory loss making things horrific.

Picking up the phone, Hinata laughed despite herself ‘Where the hell are you?!’ was in bold, and she was sure she could actually hear him saying it.

Her smile disappeared just as quickly, feeling guilty once more. But at this point, why don’t she just be selfish?

‘Doing chores, I have to get groceries later, would you like to come by for dinner?’

She locked the phone and closed her eyes with a sigh. So selfish, but at the very least.... shouldn’t she do the things that make her happiest first?

“You can’t hurry love”

Prompt by @elvisqueso

Event by @sesskag

The insistent tapping of her foot did nothing but act as a count down to her explosion. The dark brown wood beneath her feet creaked as she shifted from one foot to the other. The old shack she called home felt colder than ever since she made her decision to leave.

She had waited three years to return to this time, another year for something to happen for her relationship with inuyasha, and yet these fifteen minutes seemed longer than all of that.

The pulse of demonic energy had her scooping up her bag and arrows and darting out the tattered screen door, Ah-Un was already on the ground awaiting her, a teenage Rin beaming and waving as Kagome ran for the dragon.

“I’m so excited Kagome!” Rin sang as Kagome hoisted herself up behind her on the saddle, the muscular dragon bounding into the air as soon as she was settled. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief just as she heard her name being called on the wind.

“Sit.” She muttered, knowing her command would be carried out, and slowly smiled as the tension and agony of waiting dissipated. For just ahead, waiting to escort them away was the man who had not kept her waiting with uncertainty.

For months she worked at Seshomarus estate, traveling to nearby villages, teaching Rin what she could not learn in the past, patrolling with Sesshomaru. Life was good, no longer did she wait in her hut for Inuyasha to return, or for anything in general interesting to happen. Now she lived how she wanted, and it gave her more happiness than she could have imagined.

Well, she still imagined one kind of happiness. The kind that involved a certain demon lord who casted her gentle glances. Who pushed her to do better and improve where she lacked, and did not lock her away in a small rundown hut for her ‘safety’.

No Sesshomaru was very much opposite of his brother in means of how he treated her. Especially when they were alone. What started out as what she assumed was convenience was obviously more. With soft glances and gentle touches, meaningful conversation and stolen kisses in the evening. Kagome knew something was brewing, and she could not wait to taste the final result.

“Miko.” The deep voice summoned her and she blushed, realizing she had spaced out in front of him. She had done that a lot recently, every-time she was with him and looked at him, the thoughts of how happy and content she was washed over her mind.

“We should court.” He said nonchalantly, offering her a small box with his clawed hand.

Kagome took the box instinctively and paused, stammering to work out a reply. “We uh- I-“ she opened the small box and gasped at the gift inside, a lovely silver moon pendant on a delicate soft jade beaded string. She glanced up at him and beamed, setting the box down as she threw herself into him.

Gently grabbing his face she pulled him into a kiss, smiling even more against his lips when he responded, his arms wrapping around her tightly.

“Why didn’t you ask me sooner?” She murmured, sliding her fingers through his hair.

“Hn. I was once told you cannot hurry love.” He pressed his lips to hers once more, tucking her into his lap as she giggled.

This gave me three ideas for three fanfics thanks I appreciate you here’s one for fun:

The dark gray waters smashed the hull of the ship, rocking it back once more as Kagome stumbled across the deck, screams and panicked voices filling her ears. Her soaking wet skirts weighed her down, but it didn’t stop her as she ran for the stairs to the upper deck, the red hair glowing from the light of the fire.

“Shippo come here!” She threw her arms out, hoping the little boy would respond as he always did. When they played in the grass or had free time in the castle walls, he always threw himself into her arms and laughed as they played.

Now he shook his head, tears steaming down his face as fear filled his bright green eyes. “I- I can’t-“

The moaning of bending wood and the following crash of the foremast hitting the deck made him flinch and scream, this time his small legs launching him into her arms. She gripped him tighter than she ever had before and ran for the railing back towards the dingy, the heat of the flames licking at her heels.

Just as she was about to leap over the railing something caught her skirts, yanking her momentum to a stop as she pitched forward starting to fall. She tossed shippo over the railing, making sure he was safely away from the fire before turning to see what she was caught on.

Part of the foremast’s broken beam had snagged into her layers, the sharp wood barely missing her calf. Panic consumed her and she started yanking at the skirts, tugging as hard as she could to free the layers.

“Damn this dress!” She cried, yelping as something else out of her eyesight crashed, before an explosion rocked her mind into darkness.

He detested saltwater.

The feel of it, the taste of it, nothing about it was appealing to him. But when his ward cried out for the girl who showed such empathy for child Kitsune, he could only imagine the hours of tears he would have to endure if he did not at least make an effort to save the girl.

He was even unsure how she was in one piece. The explosion ripped apart the ship as he passed overhead, near clear of the stormy skies. There was a flicker of purple light he had seen, but that did not explain anything for him. His eyes stung as he dove deeper into the clouded depths, but the salt did not effect his sight, and as he got closer to the girl he could see no injuries but a small cut upon her lip.

Wrapping his arm around her he slightly jerked at the familiar sensation of holy power. It had been centuries since the last time he felt such blessed power of the gods, and he wondered if the girl herself knew what flowed in her veins.

With powerful kicks he drove them both back to the surface faster than any mortal could, the storm clouds already passing by the time they breached the upper waves. Unrestricted by the weight of the water he was able to lift them both out and take to the sky to the nearest land. The girl in his arms shivering instinctively from the cold.

Mild annoyance crossed his face as his mokomoko curled around her, blocking the wind from her chilled skin and offering her some mild warmth even though he was as drenched as she.

Finding shore rather quickly, he landed them upon the sand as sun was starting to crest over the land, laying the girl down as she began to stir.

He brushed her bangs back from her forehead, unsure himself why he felt the need, and excused it for wanting to memorize the face of a potential threat, and was met by shocking sapphire eyes.

Dazed and confused, she squinted at him, tentatively reaching for his clawed hand in confusion.

The shock of her power hummed against his flesh and he smiled in bitter curiosity. Who was this girl that held such strength that may combat his own? Who was she to effect him with a simple touch? She looked upon him with astonishment while he contemplated if he should kill her now or see how her powers develop?

“You are well for now.” He offered, deciding he would watch and see if this god gifted child would be a threat to his kind. Then pulled away, contorting with a flash of power into his orb to dance away on the wind back to his ward and attendants.

Here's a sketch that I ended up enjoying too much! It was inspired by an old fanfic series idea of mine from years ago -- a twist on the story of The Little Mermaid.

I had so much fun playing with the light effects and designing Merman!Sesshomaru.

Hopefully, I can get to writing that and all the other fic ideas I've stashed away~
