CHAPTER: When It Rains—Well It Sure as Hell Doesn’t Get Better

SUMMARY:  It’s happening:  Sango and Miroku are finally tying the knot.  But it’s  far from a smooth event what with possessive ex-boyfriends and new  fiancées, not to mention an incredibly attractive best man.  However, Kagome’s troubles only intensify once the wedding is over.

🏹 Calling all Inukag enthusiasts!! 

Have you ever wished you had a convenient list of all the important moments between Inuyasha and Kagome in the manga, anime and spinoffs? Well rejoice because I added one to my blog!

You can head over to inukag.tumblr.com/timeline to see it. There’s a description for each moment and you can hover the gifs to see them in color. Looks like the tabs aren’t working on mobile (at least not on iOS) so you’ll only be able to see the manga timeline, but it works fine on desktop!

Inukag Modern AU drabble w/a touch of Mirsan

It had been Miroku’s wish to marry at a very specific shrine in Shimane Prefecture called Izumo Taisha. Why that one? Something about the oldest in Japan, and special to his ancestors. Which also meant the entire wedding party needed to travel from Tokyo. The plan was to fly into the small Izumo Enmusubi Airport. Miroku and Sango were going a few days early to meet with the priest, while their best man and maid of honor, Inuyasha Taisho and Kagome Higurashi would fly the day before the ceremony.

Well… that was the plan…

“What do you mean the plane is down?!” Kagome snapped at the airline clerk. “But we’re due for a wedding!”

“I’m very sorry,” the clerk apologized, “but the mechanic has downed the plane due to mechanical issues. We hope to have it fixed in the next couple of days.”

“That won’t work for us.” Kagome checked the time on her phone and another groan escaped her. “There isn’t a train until tomorrow afternoon as well.”

“That’s too late.” Inuyasha muttered.

“Obviously,” she rolled her eyes. “What’s next that could go wrong??”

The only option left for the pair was to drive, and so after renting a vehicle, they headed out in the direction of Shimane prefecture. It was a ten-plus hour drive from Tokyo, and because it was already the later part of the afternoon, stopping somewhere along the way was inevitable. They made it as far as Osaka before finding the first place they could which turned out to be Hotel Nikko Osaka.

Kagome groaned loudly. “What do you mean that’s all you have available?? One bed??” The hotel was a modern one. Instead of futon beds, they were the regular western style queen-size.

“Very sorry, ma’am,” the desk clerk apologized, “but there is a convention nearby, as well as a concert going on, so all the rooms are booked.”

Inuyasha chimed in to try and smooth out Kagome’s anger. “We could look for another hotel…”

“No. It’s fine, it’s just one night.” She let out a long sigh as she rubbed her temples. “I just want to get some sleep.”

Over the course of five years, Inuyasha and Kagome had learned enough about how to deal with each other, and he knew not to push things if she was annoyed. Besides, this wasn’t his fault, so there was no sense in becoming a target. He quietly grabbed their bags and headed to their room.

For the rest of the evening Inuyasha did everything he could to soothe the maid of honors anxiety. Reminding her that since this was a traditional Shinto ceremony, their roles were easier and the temples staff took care of almost everything. After a long hot shower and dinner with wine, she finally started to relax. Which meant so could he.

Oh, who was he kidding! Sleeping next to an unrequited crush did not make for a relaxing time! This was a scenario he’d played out in his head too many times to count. To hold Kagome, to snuggle and wake up with her in his arms the next morning. He’s loved her for awhile now, but couldn’t tell how she truly felt about him.

Coward! His inner turmoil taunted. Only a fool would let this opportunity pass by! After a few growls in his head, Inuyasha turned over to face Kagome who was on her side facing away from him.

“Are you awake?” He questioned hesitantly.

“Yeah…” she responded with a questioning tone.

Inuyasha swallowed slowly, almost choking out the question he was so desperate to ask. “Um… you wanna cuddle, or some shit?”

It felt like forever as the silent response from Kagome made Inuyasha think he’d made a huge mistake. He was about to turn back over and cry when he heard it.

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.”

June 12th, 2022 - Domestic

Summary: Some demons make Inuyasha have an existential crisis which screws up his plans.

Disclaimer: I misunderstood the assignment but it’s too late now.

“Would ya look ah that! Bastard really is domesticated! Look how he came runnin’ when she called!” the spindly ogre cackled and his companions cackled with him, “It gets bettah! He’s got a collar!”

Chapter 8 is now live! There’s also a quick little piece I did that’s now been added to chapter 7 on AO3, if you want to go back and look. Or you can see it at the bottom of this post.

Summary: When Kagome’s mother said someone was coming by the  house to fix the mess, she assumed it was someone’s grandfather - not  the grandson. Now she’s got a whole other mess she has to deal with.
